BURKE AND FR0UDE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The London Times, speaking on behalf OF Eng
land, says:-
year and a half ago some one mentioned at
London breakfast table that one OF the most promi
nent OF the Fenian leaders was making q tour OF
the United States, dilating upon English tyranny
ana the wrongs OF Ireland II Is no secret that tnls
Fenan emissary was 0'DonOvan Rosa, then re-

AS get credit for bringing Mr.. Froude here
win claim from You the privilege OF saying few
words on the question which he and his antagonist
have been pulling asunder.
First-I thank you for your leading articles on
"Burke and Froude.n Your view OF the question
Is that shared In by men who would risk anything
to free Ireland, and only wish some one like you
would answer Mr.. Froude from an Irish national
and historical standpoint. He has spoken as
Protestant and an English Protestant; his an
tagonist has replied as Catholic and Roman
Catholic.
The papers to-day are commenting on the Rev.
some Irish men and women refusing to wait at
table upon the English historian Father Burke's
eloquent exposure OF the many falsehoods told by
Mr. Froude about Ireland, and the many wrongs
innicted on that country by England, which Mr.
Froude would excuse, was listened to by these
Boston Irlsh who resented the outrage In the most
harmless way they could.

measures to subverJ this tyranny that England

no rev0lutionist, and that Ireland is not At to OBJ

The Liberal" PLATFORM. Whatever OBJ
jection-and there may be cause for objection in
looking back at the past-there is to the Cincln-
natl Convention, those who composed it, or its
nominees, yet the features of the platform
of principles adopted by it in reference to
General Amnesty, civil service reform, and the
upholdiDg of local self governments, must COM
mend themselves especially to the people of
the South, and elicit their appreciation as evil
dence on the part, of portion, at least, of the
Republicans, of desire to inaugurate sound
and conservative principles and an earnest of
their intention to repudiate the harsh and un-
lust measures enacted and carried out by the
leaders of the ultra Radicals towards the South
ern people, IT, in the success of the Liberal
movement, this much is gained, the country
will have cause to rejoice, as step will then
have been taken, which, if properly followed
up may lead to sincere and hearty reunion,
and the rekindling Of genuine feelings Of friend
ship, kept asunder by the acts of the ultras, for
selfish purposes, and the future prosperity and
welfare of all sections promoted To do away
with the harsh, proscriptive and unjust legisla-
ton towards the South, to have general am
ncsty, to respect the State governments, and
to place the military subordinate to the civil
authority, will have been gain indeed, and
will inspire hope for the future.

MONDAY, MAY 6, 1872.

DEMOCRATIC PoLIcY-It would seem clear
" to be the policy of the Democrats and Con,
servatiyes to unite in an endeayor to break
down the Radical organization and to secure, II
possible, change in the administration Of the
affairs of the government. and with the division
existing in the Republican party, it may be
that that object can be effected. But to do SO,
prudence and forbearance will be requisite, and
harmony of action is needed, among the oppo-
nents of the present Administration, and it
would seem unwise that the present opportunity
should be allowed to pass, without taking ad.
vantage of it.
Especially is the South interested in bring
ing about change of administration, and we
see that while the nominees of the Cincinnati
Convention may not have been preferred, its
action has been generally accepted as the open
ing wedge by which that change may be
wrought, which will eventuate in lettering the
condition not only of this section, but of the
whole country, by the overthrow of the leaders
Of that party now holding sway, and whose
rule is, in our judgment, so perniclous. In this
view, it may be, that the Democrats will make
no nomination, but will tacity accept the stu
alton" hoping under the circumstances that a
reform may commence, which will eventuate in
great good, and an honest and economical gov
ernment, administered for the benefit Of ah,
be secured.
If, as we have before said, there should be
two candidates in opposition to the present IN
cumbent there will be no doubt as to the re-
suit; while if it should be determined to sup,
port the nominees Of the "L!berals, and Gree
ley and Brown receive that support claimed for
them at the North and West, with nearly
united South, the probabilities would be in
favor of the success Of the 'new movement,
and those, far more Objectionable, be put aslde.
Between Grant and Greeley the Southern peo-
pie will not hesitate in choosing the latter, and
such being the case, a contrary course might
not only ensure the reelection Of Grant, but in
all probability reunte the Radicals and con-
tiuue their rule.

A serious riot took place in kharkof, large
market town of South Russia, last week, caus
ed by the interference of the police with the
Easter amusements of the people. Fire
engines were brought out to dispense the crowd

ated the populace that they attacked the po-
lice and fire stations and Quilted them. The
Governor ordered out troops who were stoned
by the mob whereupon they fired, and many
citizens were killed aud wounded.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT. The Radical papers
are putting forth all manner of reports as
to disafection and opposition, on the part of
Democrats and others, to the nominees of the
Cincinnati Convention. Most of these reports
as to what has been said by leading men, ''ot
bolting," &C. should be taken with many grains
of allowance 1t is no doubt, true, with regard
to some, perhaps many, that there is disappont-
ment and compaiut-but this was to have
been expected, no matter who would have been
nominated.
10 Virginia the news has been received kind
ly and considerably. The Conservative press
generally, shows its prudence and discretion
There is no disposition exhibited to throw OBJ
stacles in the way of union and harmony among
the opponents of the present administration.
The Conservative press of South Carolina en-
dorse the Cincinnati ticket and platform as ac-
ceptablc to the South This is, it is said, the
case through the South generally. The Rich
mond Dispatch probably expresses the general
feeling when it says that while the ticket is not
ours, we, Conservatives and Democrats, would,
by the election of the Cincinnati nominees, feel
that we were doing we'll, in getting rid of the
prolonged rule of ultra Radicalism.

MORE GAME FIsH.-Thc waters of the Po-
tomac river and its tributaries are becoming
famous for the black bass that now abound
in these streams From almost the head
sources of the river to the mingng of its
waters with those of the Chesapeake Bay, the
rare sport of catching black bass is enjoyed by
people along its entire banks. We have several
times stated how his species of fish was intro
duced into the streams We now have the pleas
ure of recording the fact of the introduction of
other species of game fish from the Ohio river
to the Potomac. On Thursday evening last,
Messrs OFT and Hcskill, of Wheeling, WA,
two famous fishermen, caught 10 seine in
the Ohio river at that place, number of salmon
and jack fish, which were turned over to Capt.
Jack Shrodes conductor of passenger train on
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who placed them
first in a,large bucket and brought them in
an engine tank to this city yesterday morning,
and he and our old friend Samuel Human, esq,
took the fish to the river near the water works
and placed them in that stream. The lot con-
sisted of ten salmon and five jack fish, and they
were all alive and apparently in good condition
except two, and Immediately alter they we're
deposited in the stream, swain away into deep
water and we're lost to view. In all probability
they may propagate their species until our riv-
er is as productive Of salmon as it is now of
bass, as the stock of the latter was only FIVE
fish, placed in the canal basin at this city some
fifteen years ago, and they, in few years af
forwards, multiplied iunumcrably. -Cvmber

rate that the Builder thinks that as London

by the gas companies is common air iuminat-

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. -Donaldson, the aero
naut, made his second ascension at Chilicothe,
Ohio, last Saturday. The streets we're crowd
ed with spectators from the adjoining country,
and the ascension was made at l:50 o'clock
tn going up the wind was so strong from the
north that it carried the balloon against the
north end of Lansing's drug store, on I'd street
The aeronaut saw what was coming, and
braced himself to meet the shock, throwing
out his feet, which struck the side of the house
aud turned him completely over On his trapeze
bar. The balloon in going up, and before he
could recover his poise, dragged him over the
chimney, knocking it at least half off, and
bruising and woundiug him to such an extent
that he was unable to perform his usual feats.
This, however, was not the most serious part.
The bricks, in falling to the pavement, struck
a man named Patrick Martin, on the head,
fracturiug his skull The balloonist made but
a short trip, not going out of sight, his wounds
from contact with the chimney becoming so
painful that be was compelled to descend.
