The Irish National Celebration In Cork

The Irish National Celebration In Cork.
The anniversary of Ireland's patron Saint
was celebrated with great enthusiasm by a
portion of the people of Munster, in Cork,
on Sunday. The street procession was nu-
merous, and conducted in an animated and
orderly manner. There was mass meeting
in the Park, at which fifteen thousand persons
attended. The object Of this assemblage was
to advocate q royal amnesty for the Fenian
convicts. The Chairman was, evidently, by
our cable report, excited; for, in his state
ment of the case, he abnegated the national
idea of gallantry towards ladies and the Irish
sense of appreciation of brave bearing in
battle so far as to assail the personal acts Of
Queen Victoria, the right of her dynasty, her
companion, Lady Churchill, and the memory
of the Duke of Marlborough, the soldier an
cestor of that lady. The Duke of Marlborough
received great amount of praise and pen
sions, with large share of odium and con-
domination, in his day; but the Irish orator
has not told OF his military deeds in language
near as expressive as did the little Wilhelmine
of the poet, when she looked at the skull
which was dug up on the battle field of Blen.
helm. Old Caspar told her Of the fight thus
"Great praise the Duke Of Marlborough got
and our good Prince Eugene" ut was q
very wicked thing" said little Wilhelmine.
The Chairman of the Cork meeting agrees in
opinion with the child.

TIE Alabama Claims-Premier GlRdstone's
Report Secretary Fish's Note.
Mr.. Gladstone went down to the House of
Disraels question relative to the delivery and
tenor and tone of the American government
despatch forwarded in answer to Earl Gran
ville's note on the Alabama claims question.
Lord Granville made coincident statement
on the same subject in the House of Lords.
The British Premier acknowledged that
Secretary Fish's communication was received
by the Queens Ministers on the 14th instant,
Thursday last. He was "gratifed to be
able to state that it was couched in
courteous and friendly terms" This assurance
was received by the members with cheers. The
Prime Minister then proceeded to unfold the
serious part of the case by stating, sour
views are not adopted hence, in the opinion
of the government, an answer is required,
which the government of the United States
delivered to the American Minister in London
before Thursday of the present week" Sex
ecutive prudence prevented the Minister from
informing the Parliament of the exact terms
of the forthcoming reply, the Queens
advisers initiating as he alleged, the action of
the United States Congress in its legislative
forbearance towards the President in this
respect. Mr.. Gladstone affirmed, in conclu-
sion, that the British note would show
the anxiety of the nation to carry the
Washington Treaty into execution, and be
at the same time in full consonance
with the demand for the upholding
of ''the honor of the country" Earl
Granville promised to place the correspond
ence before the Peers at an early moment.
His lordship was very serious in his express
sion, and, new feature in the conduct of Off
cial communication to the aristocracy, he
not Gladstone-referred to the "publc anxi-
ETY." which exists outside and the grave re-
sponsibility attaching to the Cabinet treat
ment of the case. This statement-of the
Premier and the Peer-for the Brit
ish nation goes to prove that the
Alabama claims correspondence is not
by any means terminated between the
governments Of England and the United
States that the views of the two Cabinets
are not exactly in accord with respect to the
general hearing and treatment of the matter;
that the British people are anxious as to the
issue; and that John Bull is exceedingly well
disposed to fall back, ministerially at least, at
any suitable moment on that time-worn and
strife-breeding position of his, the ''honor of
the country" and its maintenance. Secretary
Fish has been courteous; now we must wait
to hear again from Granville.

SENATOR SUMMERS Position. Some of the
political journals have been having this and
that to say about Senator Summers position,
and what he is assigned to be and intends to
do at the Cincinnati Liberal Republican Con.
venton. 1t now appears that the reports in
regard to his having accepted the Presidency
Of that Convention are without foundation.
and that his opinions about what he shall do
after the proceedings of that Convention are
absolutely his own In other words, he is his
own master OF his own situation. and intends
! to remain 90.

FACTS FOR HIBERNIANs.- Forty-fve thou
sand Irishmen paraded yesterday in the streets
of New York. Including bad whiskey, wear
and tear of stovepipe hats and afternoon ct
ceteras, it may be safely said that every son
of the sod, mounted and on foot, suffered in
pocket to the amount of ten dollars. In hon.
oring ST. Patrick, therefore, the Irish work.
men of New York squandered four hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. This sum would
bring from Ireland nine thousand brawny lads
and give them little pocket money to start
them on their way to the West.

BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE. The democrats
look upon their defeat In New Hampshire as
"a blessing in Disguise" and they are pre-
pared to rejoice over a similar blessing in
Connecticut. They remind us of the Johnny
Rebs," when they began to rejoice over the
loss of Savannah, Charleston and other places
up to Wilmington, as BLESSINGS in disguise. 4"
They remind us. too, of the North Carolina
tar heel, who gravely remarked that, latter
all these blessings in disguise, for my part,
should like to have one without disguise, just
for change"

THE UTICA Herald administration has
peculiar view about what it terms ''liberal re-
publican nonsense" According to this print
no position could be more inconsistent and
ridiculous than that of the so-called liberal
republicans. ''They are neither fish, flesh nor
fowl. They belong neither to the earth below
nor the heavens above, but hang, like
Mohammed's coffin, suspended between" The
Mohammedan figure might in this competition
be used to further extent. The question be-
tween the democrats and the republicans is
whether ''the mountain shall come to Mo-
manned or Mohammed 60 to the mountain"
The result, however, may be the same in
either case. 'ParturiUnt monies, n0scetur
ridiculous mus"

The synopsis of the statistics of British
commerce which we published yesterday
SHOWS that the exports of British and Irish
produce In 1870 reached in value, within
traction, the enormous sum of thousand
millions OF dollars, and the export of foreign
ana colonial produce to about two hundred
and twenty-five millions The exports have
been nearly quadrupled in the course of thirty
years, or since 1910. The increase has been
progressive all through this period, but greater
during the last fifteen years, and was the
greatest in the decade from 1855 to 1865.
The total exports increased in these ten years
about five hundred millions of dollars. In
1870 the United States stood first among
nations to which Great Britain exported her
products. The exports amounted in that year,
British. Irish, colonial and foreign included, to
over hundred and fifty-fve millions, Of
which more than hundred and forty millions
were British and Irish. The country that
stands next is Germany, to which hundred
and forty millions were exported Then fol-
lows France, receiving over hundred and ten
millions; British India, a hundred millions;
the Netherlands, over eighty millions;
Australia, over fifty millions; Egypt,
nearly forty-dve millions Turkey, more than
forty millions; Russia, over fifty millions the
British North American Possessions, between
thirty-five and forty Millions China, over
thirty millions, Belgium, approaching forty
five millions; Italy, exceeding thirty millions,
and Brazil, over twenty-six millions. The
countries having less than twenty millions are
not mentioned in this abstract, but in the
aggregate the sum must be large, for British
commerce extends over every portion of the
globe. What are the causes Of this extraor-
binary commercial developments Here is an
interesting question for our political econo-
mists and statesmen. Protection is certainly
not o cause for British commerce has in
creased to a considerable extent in proportion
to the abandonment of the protective system
and to the progress made in free trade. This
country is far richer than Great Britain in
natural resources, and has larger population.
Why is it, then, that our commerce develops
so slowly comparatively, while that of England
is augmenting so rapidly and vastly? Let us
endeavor to understand the problem and in
augurate better commercial policy than we
have been pursuing.

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE PARIS CON-
MUNE.-By an odd coincidence the day all
Irishmen celebrate fell upon the anniversary
of the Paris Commune. In Paris yesterday,
unlike the feeling of quiet which prevailed
here, the government felt alarmed and
dreaded the attempted repetition of last year s
terrible scenes of fire and blood. Every pre-
caution was taken to guard against any mani
festaton of the rebels, who still exist in con-
siderable numbers in Paris.

A MARYLAND FAMILY POISONED.
ing to despatch we publish to-day a few
neighbors called at the house of a Mr.. Arnold,
in Frederick county, Maryland, on Sunday
evening, and were surprised that no one came
to the door to admit them as usual Conscious
that the family had not left the house they
listened, and the faint cry of child convinced
them that something was wrong. They sub
sequently gained admittance by force, and
were horror stricken on beholding the mother
living in the last agonies Of death and her five
children speechless and insensble. 1t is sup
posed they had drank some tea which had
been poisoned, and the death OF the mother
shortly after the discovery would seem t'
indicate some such theory.

GAN INQUIRINe FRIEND" asks us for infor-
nation as to the character and objects OF the
Cincinnati Convention. 1t is National Con-
vention called by the liberal or anti-Grant
republicans Of Missouri, to meet in Cincinnati
In May, to consider the political situation and
to take such action as may be deemed ex-
pedient. We suppose that if they get up an
assemblage which promises anything like
balance of power in the election they will
nominate Presidential ticket, in view OF
fusion with the democrats, and that otherwise
they will postpone any definite action until
day or two after the adjournment OF the
regular Philadelphia Republican Convention.
From present appearances the Cincinnati
Convention will be mixed assemblage Of
large proportions.

and are taxed for it, and that is that the gov
eminent has not the right and title to it.
The navy is certainly in bad fix, if we OBJ
serve the results of its weakness. Spain exer-
cises the right of search in time of peace, and
polices our American ships for us-in her own
way. England says fearlessly, Withdraw
your claims, or take war, as you choose"
But she has been preparing for five years for
this announcement! Venezuela captures half
dozen of our merchant ships, and causes
vast losses to our American shipowners !;
but-she pays for it by an apology. Panama
seizes vessel and puts it to her own use,
and when called to an account says SITS all
in fun" and eff you are going to make war
about it, why, come on; we are ready for
you." Even Panama can afford to give US
grin of contempt!
There is no possible way for nation
of great maritime possessions and hav-
ing seacoast of some six thousand
miles and more to evade the duty Of self
defence. Nations have duties as well as
rights, and nearly the whole of our history
exhibits weakness in the matter of response
bility. It is a nations duty to protect its own
commerce. 1t is its duty to survey and make
charts and render general assistance and aid
to navigation. 1t is, like all other response
bilities, tax on wealth and influence. At
this time, and during all the past, we are
using English charts and depending on 'Per-
fidious England" for maps by which to sail
our ships around the world. Sad admission
for great nation !

not willing to continue to vote man into the first
