y tPTJES IN IRELAND.

It's royal visit to Ireland, and the lively
rrcpting accorded in Dublin, suggest an inquiry
concerning the present condition OF political
parties in that unfortunate isle. Convictions
which the Irish have held tcnaciously for CEN
turies cannot be removed by fluctuations III
banquet hall or the waving of banners from
the hOusetops. The party evOlutions OF late
wears have practically divided the people into
Nationalist and LOyaliSts. The former be-
lievc that Ireland has inalcnable rights which
no yena Parliament could vote away nor
armed force destroy But this party is much
divided as to the course of action 1t should
adopt. Many of its membcE are for armed
force alone, others favor public meetings and
Parliamentary agitation, while the remainder
consider that any efforts will be fruitless I'M
ill England gets into some serious difficulty.
The supporters of the British Crown are nu-
mcIiaaly small, but powerful as regards
wealth. social position, and intelligence.
The latest tactics of the Nationalist have
been 10 elect ultra-radcal candidates to Par
lament. 0'DOnOvan (RoSSa) and John Martin
were both selected mainly because the one
was and the other had been a political con
Wet. AT a more recent election the people
residence in this country, is strongly imbucd
with Republican principles, and who, as editor
of a leading Irish journal, el0qIently de-
Tended the Union cause during our civil war.
These acts, in which nearly all Nationalist
combined. although from different motives,
Joined with the raid on the Mallow Barracks
the unanimous resolve of the Dublin Cor
poration in favor of home rule, and the
ay0wed popular sympathy for the remaining
political prisoners, show that England has in
Ireland an angry spouse rcsolutely bent on
absolute separation. With the exception of the
absndly abortivc visit of the Prince, England
and her adhcrcnts have practically done nothing
to pacify these dissatisfied clements. It may toe
that she will hold to her Ncnetia until as the
author OF the Battle of DorhinQ' suggests,
the arrival of an invader convnceS her that
people neutral or openly hostile would be
less dangerous than concealed, implacable
enemy.

HONOR TO HIRLdNi

Kentucky is the most hopelcssly Democratic
Chat is to say, aristocratic) State in the Union
She gave Mcclellan his largest popular ma
iority in 1864, though a very large proportion
of her Democrats were then absent in the
Rebel armies, hence unable to vote. Few
Republicans can have forgotten the shOwer-bath
of ice-water she gave us in August 1868, by the
immense vote she rolled uD for the entire
Democratic ticket and she gave Seymour and
Blair by far their largest majority in November
following. Even after the Republican strength
was swclled by the Enfranchisement of the
Blacks, (who are less than one-quarter of her
population she went heavily Democratic last
year, elccting a Democrat from each of her
nine Congress districts, though from one of
them by barely 18 majority. In short, Ken
lucky is the Western Gibraltar of the modern
Democratic, as she long was of the former
Wing party.
Three or four months ago, her Republicans
were looking anxiously about them for leader

Honest importers have good reason to COM
ploin ot the frequency wherewith the Treasury
Department compromises cases in which the
laws against illegal OF Illicit foreign traffic are
infringed. Laws against smuggling ought to

Not SO seem to think the Custom-flouse OIL

the offenders with fine to condOne their

one w. II. Beare, against whom lies a
charge of smuggling 100000 worth of goods.
Collector Murphy has recommended that the
suit be compromised by the payment of fine
of $4,000. 1t is true that conviction i'll these

QUARANTINE OUTR1GES on COMMERCE.
In the hope of eciting from DR.. Carnochan,
Health Officer of this Port, some explanation
of the charges, widely circulated just now
in commercial circles, that he aiilics the
shipping of New-York by Illegal ex-
actions which are fast driving much
of our trade to other cities, we lately called
his attention to several statements which had
reached us from various sources. One OF these
was in effect that Storage passengers rom uh-
infected ports are unnecessarily vaccnated at
an expense to thcp of fifty cents
each. Another charge was that taxes
are levied by Quarantine officials on
every bale and box OF goods entering the har-
Dor. No reply has been vouchsafed rs, or the
merchants and shippers TO whose complaints
we gave uttcrancc.
We have certain other questions in pursu-
ance of this inquiry which we desire to pro-
Mound to Dr. CarnOChan, to wit:
l. Is it or is it not true that passengers, on
reaching Lower Quarantine, are unnecessarily
compelled to transfer TO Quarantine tugs, and
to pay from 81 80 to g each for conveyance
TO New-York, distance of less than Il miles
II. Is it or is it not true that the mails OF
private ship companies are charged for trans
portation that short distance at the cXorbitant
rate of $40 to $50 per man bag, although Il
tug-boat is owned by the State OF New-1ork,
and ordered to perform this service free OIL
charge?
III. Is it or is it not true that from three
to four times the customary rates asked ny
private companies for Tightening and steve
doring are levied by tho Quarantine officers
". Is it or is it not true that the captains
or agents of steamers under orders to be quar-
anlined have been enabled, Immediately after
delivering their passengers and mails in the
Lower Bay to DR.. CaInochan'5 boats, to secure
the release of their vessels by brief private in
terviews with the Quarantine officers, and reach
their docks ahead Of the transferred passen-
gers?
Y. Is it or is not true that the majority OF
vessels were relieved from quarantine dur
ing last season on the condition that they
discharged at certain warehouses
VI. Is it or is it not true that Dr. CaTno-
chan received $4,000 in cash and $3.50 a
week during the Quarantine Season OF 1870
in all. SOCOO-from the New-York Harbor
Stevedoring and Lightenng Company, for the
exclusive privilege of doing the Quarantine
work.
VII. Is it or is it not true that a response
ble person who knew the work and was COM
pctent to do it offered 25 per cent OF the gross
receipts to be allowed the same privileges for
the season of 1871 2 And was he not refused
by DR.. CaInOchan's immediate representative
The above are few of the points on which
we should like to have light shed by DIS. Car
aochan or Rede. If neither is prepared to do
so, we propose to be.

Nobody will be surprised to learn that the Hon
George Opdyke, Vice-Presdent Of the Chamber
of Commerce, has declined to call meeting OF
that body for the purpose of selecting commit
tee to examine Controller Connolly's accounts.
II would have been very surprising II he
had done otherwise, or if any considerable
number of members of the Chamber should
have been desrous of such action. Grave ana
specific charges have been made against those
in control of the City's finances; everybody
knows that these charges, if false, could be
instantly disproved by publishing full, clear,
and accurate statement of the receipts and
disbursements of the City and County
since January, 1862 in simple obedience
TO law hitherto audacOusly delied.
But, instead OF doing this, the Mayor and
Controller withhold that statement and ask
for committee of experts Vice-Prcsident
Opdyke, in behalf of the Chamber of COM
merce, could do nothing less than recall to
the mind of the two functiOnaries who address
him the fact that nothing but this exhibit can
save them. All cOntriyances to evade that
issue and gain time are regarded as confess
sions of guilt.

As was foreshadowed in THE TRIBUNES
Washington dispatches yesterday, the PreSl-
dent has finally been forced to interfere to
end the disagreeable deadlock which has
existed for some time between the Treasury
Department and the Bureau OF Internal
Revenue. Under the Tenure of Office act,
passed during Andrew JohnsOn's Admins
tration, the President has finally acted,
and has suspended the Commissioner for
the term specified by law-to the end OF the
next session of the Senate. The Deputy Com
missioner, j. w. Douglass, will act as Commits
s,oner until the Senate decides whether Cen
PleasOnton shall be reinstated, or some other
person, hereafter to be nominated, shall sue
coed him. This ends for the present
the discreditable discord between the
Secretary of the Treasury and his most I'M
portant subordinate The perseverance with
which Gen. Pleasonton has persisted in a
course which could only end in his own re-
moval or Cabinet crisis, gives some color to
the statements of his old critics in the army
that the prevailing habit of his mind was
hvperclitical and insubordinate.

Of the Kentucky election; but this increases
the confidence felt in yesterdays returns,

In 1868, Stevenson, Democratic candidate for
Governor had a majority Of So.61s and in the

so far indicated a reduction of the Democratic

The French Assembly, in passing the In
Identification bill, has assumed an additional
financial burden, which, under the circum-
stances, is likely to prove very oppressive.
The proposition is to ascertain the losses
from the acts of French and German troops
in the different departments the amounts SO
fixed upon to be lquidated by the Govern
mcnt. To be sure the Deputies, upon
comparing notes, estimated the gross
sum at five hundred million francs; but
President Theirs, who opposed the bill with
much earnestness, said that the amount would
be at least one milliard. 1t certainly looks
like poor policy for the French Government
to attempt so soon TO repair all the damages
of war, while stIaining every nerve to meet
requirements of the Germans, which stand
in the way Of gratifying the popular clamor
for removal of foreign troops from france.

The final passage of the Ballot bill III the
House of Commons was possibly due TO fear
that Gladstone might bring Parliament to-
gethcr again in the Autumn. The average
British statesman diSlilles Reform measures
but he loves more than parliamentary work
the Fall field sports. AT any rate the
Premier has followed out his programme OF
forcing his schemes of Reform through the
Commons, leaving the responsibility OF tneir
final disposition with the Lords. 1t Is amusing
to note the easy assurance with when DiSrae'l
taunts Gladstone with being poor leaoer Oh
his party, and keeping his bills long time
in Parliament An honest opinion OF Reform
leadership could hardly be expected from the
leader of the Tories of the House; and 1t Is
notorious that the tactics of Disraeli's party
have alone delayed the Reform measures.
