DANGEROUS AGITATION.

Mr.. Meany. the very intelligent editor
Of the Irish Citizen, made an imprudent
speech in New York night before last.
He demands that every drop of blood
shed in the recent riot be avenged, if
there is law to do it. He demands that
Legislatures prohibit the professions Of
the 0rangemen. Mr.. Meany should
know that the Legislature cannot pro-
hibit procession Of 0rangemen and
permit procession of other sorts Of men.
We have not yet discarded, in theory at
least, the great American idea that what
ever rights are not prohibited to the
people are common 10 all. Mr.. Meany
wishes to know how Irishmen are to Sc
cure proper protection in this country
for their racer What protection has the
native, or anybody else, that is denied
to an Irishman2 If he, or anyone else,
can point TO a curtailment Of right that
does not apply as well to one class as to
another; or that there is anywhere, upon
any statute book, an act that prohibits
to an lrishman that which it accords to
another, not an Irishman, we will pledge
our columns 10 the denunciation Of it as
an outrage on justice and a violation Of
the Constitution. Mr.. Meany made a
great mistake, and destroyed the force
Of his speech, when his allusion TO
Hoffman provoked from the crowd
the cry, Hang him to q lamp
postl We are not disposed to com
ment, as we might on such spirit. 1t
is intolerant enough. The danger is that
it may provoke a counter spirit, and
that race may be arrayed against race.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The postdfiice
contracts for carrying the mails number
about one hundred and forty, and will
be readvertised as soon as advertise
ments can be prepared. The Postmas-
ter-G General has acted on the opinion of
the Acknowledgement in regard to the
law. Some apprehension has arisen
about the straw-bids, as they are called,
on account of their having been made
since the new law, requiring a deposit Of
FIVE per cent, was passed. This law did
not take effect, however, until the first
of July, and so did not apply to the bids
in question. By advertising anew these
contracts will have to be made under
the new law, and if the law is not def
cient the jobbers who put in bids to
compete with the bona fide bidders Ito
pay them for withdrawing will have to
quit the business, because they cannot
afford to lose the deposit required.
There is a question, whether the law al
lows bidders to withdraw deposits as
soon as the awards are made, or the
Department shall hold them till the
bonds have been given. This question
is now before the Attorney-General. If
the deposits of all the bidders can be
held until contracts are actually made
and the bond executed, then, il the
lowest bidder fails to give bonds, he will
will lose his FIVE per cent. and the next
lowest bidder will have to stand his bid
or safer similar losses, and SO on through
the list; otherwise the straw-bids can
still be made by any person who can
effect temporary loan, since the high
bidders could afford TO make up to one
low bidder his five per cent deposit and
something besides, and the arrangement
could be made in advance.
The clerk in charge Of the distillation
department Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau starts for California tonight for
the purpose Of investigating the manner
of fruit distillation, as complaints have
recently been made by winners in Cal
ifornia that regulations of the internal
revenue Office in relation to that brand
of distillation is not applicable TO the
manner in which it is carried on in that
State.
Supervisor Perry, of North Carolina,
in letter to General Pleasanton, sug-
gests the employment Of mounted
police for destroying illicit distilleries
as the most effective means that could
probably be adopted. 1t is known, how
ever, that Secretary Boutwell, disapprov IS
Of applying any such force.

LONDON, July 2l.--The Tichborne
case continues to attract much public
interest. After much advertising the
seamen, comprising the crew of the
Bella, the vessel on which Tichborne is
said to have made voyage to South
America, have been found. Much OF
the strength of the claimants suit
hinges upon the evidence which these
men may give when placed on the
witness stand. In the meantime all IN
terested in the case manifestthe greatest
anxiety as to the result. The appear
ance of these men forms crisis in the
trial which will probably either result in
the recognition of the claimants caseas
valid and his establishment in the title
and estates involved, or in being branded
as one of the greatest imposters of the
age. sa AER&A9e 4ttf -

EARrHoUAKEs VS.. NEW ENGLAND.

III 1t Is as hot In the East as IL IL III inc
South, New England is mass Of butter
buttermilk and clabber this morning.
That refulgent region of vulgar dust and
granite rocks was shaken yesterday by
an earthquake, and the drinkers Of milk
and eaters of mush became so many
churns run bya motive power deep down
and hidden in the earth. 1t is perfectly
monstrous that section that surpasses
ancient Greece, discards its models, out
does Rome, casts sort of twilight on
the island that produced Shakespeare,
Milton and Byron, and has made Africa
the shrine of its idolatry, should be pes
tered, churned and deviled by so vulgar
a thing as an earthquake. Alas, for
Boston 1t was never dreamed in all
the brains of its great spirits that sit in
the solitudes of their own creations,
fashioning, like lapidaries, the rough
thought into the glittering idea, that it
should be rudely shaken and desperately
frightened by an earthquake. What
business have these lawless forces, that
are only physical, to disturb others that
are heayen-born and nurtured in Boston
brains2 Is Hon. Charles Sumner to be
shaken from his anvil when he is pound
ing into proportion magnificent concep-
tons, and be turned into butter and
driven into the street by any force2 Is
Benjamin Butler, soon to be an angel, to
have his spoons, the play-things of his
idle moments and the trophies of his
military achievements, ratified in his ears
at moment when his pen had just
recorded plan for the more efectual
punishment of the South2 Is Wendell
Phillips, in the midst of the composition
of one of his philippics, aimed at all
creation, and the South in par
ticular, to have his tongue paralyzed
and ashes of fear strewn upon his lips
by so plebeian thing as an internal
convulsion Of the earth2 1t is in vain
that Longfellow writes verses; that Sum-
ner news great thoughts from the rough,
shapeless stone; that Butler invents
new tortures for the South, and that
Phillips denounces earth and questions
the wisdom of the DEGREES Of heaven,
if their souls are to be frightened
and their bodies churned by some
thing that poetry cannot describe nor
genius comprehend : by something
breaking loose away down deeper
than the artesian auger has penetrated,
laundering and rocking the land and
the sea. Boston, your time has come.
You may control the West, you may
come the nfacilaginous over Grant, drop
poison in the cup Of the South, but you
can neither resist nor conciliate the
floods Of liquid fire that roll and thun
der underneath the crust upon which
you stand. We dislike to become par
tisan at any time, but if there is to be a
contest between Boston and the earth
quakes, we shall not hesitate to lay our
hand on the shoulder Of the latter and
whisper in its ear: Go in and win; we
will stand by you"

For twenty-five years Wendell Phillips
has commanded the vanguard of the
Radical party. Ithas followed him, and
recognizes him as its prophet and
apostle. He is Communist. Leading
the Radical party, it, il it is not now
will become the Communistparty. 1t is
not hazardous to affirm that it is such

--Vane, Sidney and John Brown, from
their scaffolds, call out to these, their
last followers: " Be of good cheer,
brothers; the seed your blood has planted
shall not die. Redeemed France shall
vet bless you, and the world, seeing your
lives, shall learn to think nobler things
of human nature.
The blending of John Browns name
with those Of Brutus and Hampden is q
good specimen Of richness. To the mind
Of Phillips, the Roman and Englishman
we're horse-thieves and murderers. John
Brown was but the product of their
ashes. His soul is marching on to the
music Of the Partisan mob that muir
dered priests in cold blood and destroyed
works of art endeared to the world be-
cause of antiquity. The American Com
mune will not hesitate to pull down the
historical paintings that adorn our capi-
toll and burn them in the streets, and
demolish the tomb at Mount Vernon, to

STEALING THEMsELyEs RICH.

Flakes Bulletin, of Galveston, Texas,
Republican sheet, is constrained BY
the truth and public duty to declare the
present Legislature Of that State to be
"the most corrupt body of men which
ever assembled under the sanction OF
law to rob and plumber the people" 1t
declares that its members have en-
riched themselves at the expense of out
rageous subsidies, and now enjoy man
sions, bank accounts, railroad stocks,
horses, buggies, cigars and toddies, to
which they we're heretofore perfect stran-
gers and which could not be had from
any economy in their per diem" Upon
this state of things the Cincinnati
Enquirer thus comments But the
Texas Legislature is not worse than the
other negro carpet-bag and scalawag
legislative bodies of Louisiana, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi, South Carolina and
Florida. They are each and all as cor
rupt as they can be; and Indictment
thereto is the general spirit of plumber,
and desire to steal themselves rich per-
vades the Republican leaders and mana
gers everywhere, with occasional honor
able exceptions. Negroes never had
the capacity for selfgovernment, and to
put them as rulers over white people is a
Cline for which there can be no apology
but extreme party necessity"
