THE GALWAY JUDGMENT.
The popular demonstrations anent the
{eogh outrage are eth the chief features
# Irish news. During tho week ending
he 9th of July, IS large number OF In
ngs in efagy have BEEN - frequent as dur
ng the weeks Immediately sncceeding the
Judgment. The largest, most remarkable
and most important of these denonstfe-
lions were those at Mullineer, Carlow,
remple%ere, Kantark' Hsnash,; . a9sefss,
fund is steadily assuming the dimens ioos /
of q national testimonial, nearly f60OO
having already been collected. The friends
of Keogb, the Anti Catholic party, are De.
ginning to speak out. On the "a INST, the
Grand Jury of the County Leitrim, passed
a resolution strongly approving the siraoe
of Galway. "a .'-Ie
THE FIRST IN THE NORTH. 4
The LIST Of July has passed over in the
North unmarked BY any event of moment.
The only Orange celebrations recorded in
the newspapers having taken place on the
occasion were held in Portadown and
Cookstown. In the former place the
foundation-stone of a new Orange HAN
was laid in the presence of large number
of "the brethren who wore sashes and ac-
companied as usual with fifes and drums:
In Cookstown the local Orangemen paraded
the streets for . couple of hours playing
Orange tunes. ..,...-,

1t was too much that We hoped for.
Moderate az were our expectations, they
are doomed to disappointment. Judge
Keogh is coming back. So 1t r. declared
in authoritative tones, and the North West
Circuit ia fxed ON ~ the scene of the re-
newal of his judicial labors: He is to take
his place again upon the Irish Bench en-
powered to administer Justice IN the name
of the Sovereign, and to decide the issues
/ of life and death at q time when his name
| sounds like q curse in the Irish mouth, and
when every parish in the land is ringing
:. with denuncation of his conduct. He will
sit to represent the majesty OF the law, to
| lecture Irish jurymen, to sentence lrish
criminals, at time when tho slckenlng
story of his political crimes is upon every
lip, and when his career of treachery and
falselood is fresh in the minds of all. He
will wear the robes of justice and hold it's
scales while bitter condemnation is heaped
upon his head by the public voice, and
while the words of the Galway Judgment
are still fresh upon the ear. 1t is in sober
seriousness too bad. The Irish people
asked for but little in connection with the
} future of Mr.. Justice Keogb, and that lit.
tie they might we'll be expected to obtain
They merely asked that they should nc
i longer be insulted by his presence, and
that a home might be found for him any.
} where but in Ireland. His return to thi!
i impossible, and it was fondly hoped tina
the land which caught him SO afectionately
to its breast after his flight from IRELAND
T might keep him in it's breast forever. Ii
England there are not SO many who Woult
, feel offended by the presence Of the ex
member for Athlone. Very few ther,
f know much of his antecedents, and tn
j baseness with which he treated those WIN
: trusted to his oaths in Ireland would prov
p NO disqualification forpublic favor. Their
Q are plenty of such appointments in Eng
9 land which would admirably suit MI
!. Keoeh, aud which Mr.. Keogh would sui
: to nicely. In the work of devising new
8 Coercion Bills, for instance, or drafting Z
J, new code of Penal Lave for Ireland, b
!, might find congenial and profitable occupa
), ton, and whatever he was set to do, noehip
: it was felt could be worse than his reap
b pearance on the Irish Bench. And yet W
J, must endure that, too. His Lordship
= coming back. His English friends, it woui
q appear, have had quite enough Of him.
= fact, it is whispered that with all the i'm
q pudent efforts to get up sympathy for hiI
: in Parliament and to present him ia th
st light of au injured patriot, Judge Keog
% has been found somewhat of bore /
,e London. Mr.. Gladstone has refused to sc
3 him, and the chiefs Of the Liberal part,
Of to whom, one after another, he retailed h
8, grievances, received him "c0ldly," 7
l. the Tories he is said to have betaken hin
IS self for sympathy and consolation, but M
d Disraeli's followers have now NO patronaf
% to bestow, and few English boroug CHS woul
le care to return him if he resigned. Aud q
ic guarded by special constables, watchs
1T over by spies, and protected by detective
B. with gall on his tongue and venom
A. his heart, he returned to the land of b
r birth. Deeply as we may regret this issu
it leaves US some little ground for consol
ton, like the shiaing jewel in the Torches
40 of the toad of adversely. The spectac
~ aforded.by Judge Keogh and his polite
.. surroundings may not be without it's us
to in Ireland, and the lesson which his pre-
or ence in Ireland will inculcate is not who'll
e. s devoid of advantages. Others beside ten
70 perance lecturers have found the benefit
9, having dreadful example" to point t
1t and Mr.. Justice Keogh will serve "a
or living memento- to-teil- the aspirants
g. public favor in Ireland the way they shouj
n not go. AS to the rest, it il really md
W the business of our English rulers than.
