in these days. They say that there are
| certain guarantees that there is liberty for
all to vote in the administrative elections.

nothing. A minister publishes a circular
which frightens everybody. There are tu-

however, do his best; let everybody follow
the advice Of authoritative persons, and if
we do not succeed, it will be proof of the
| hypocrisy OF the guarantees of liberty"

of I.eitrim, being asked to preside at a
meeting III Dublin, for the purpose of
censuring Mr.. Justice Keogh's Judgment,
! replied that he had decided not to take any
part in public meetings ION the question,
but fully entered into the objects of the
meeting ''to protest against the scurrilous
invective and the insulting accusations
embodied in the judgment" The matter
was brought before the House of Lords,
and although the government refrained
| from expressing any opinion till they had
considered the matter, Lord Granard was
severely censured by the Marquis of Sails
bury for using such language. Lord
Granard wrote to the Irish Viceroy that he
was willing to resign if the government
thought it desirable. The reply was, that
the government might dismiss, but did not
think it its duty to advise. The hint W as
sufficient for his Lordshlp, who resigned
his Lord Lieutenaucy.
