The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1873-08-31

NEW ORLEANS SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST ST. 1873

coldly received. Their reception, in fact. was
the direct opposite of that which was accorded
to Mr.. Butt. No dsrespect was offered, but
neither was there the slightest enthusiasm
manifested. The people have no dislike to
Earl Spencer personally and they therefore,
do not desire to insult him or his wife; they
and they, therefore, do not desire to honor him
with the tribute of their cheers But to return
to the object of Lord spencer,s visit to Water
which has its headquarters in this city of
Dublin, and visits once year some ono town
in Ireland for the purpose OF getting the 10
machinery ETC., giving prizes to the exhibitors
of the best animals and implements Its osc
tensible object is to improve the breed of
stock and to raise the standard of agriculture
amongst the peasantry. But it Is made use of
| principally for far less trustworthy objects.
Its real use is to cry up the worship OF the
beast, to help on the process under which cat
| tie are supplying the place of men. 1t is only
the gentry who exhibit at its shows; the peas
antry have nothing at all to do there IN prac-
| tice however it be in theory. 1t harmonises
| excellently with what have said that the rep
resentatives of foreign rule in the country gees
down regularly to visit its shows, and as Its
annual banqlet invariably holds forth on
| the "increasng prosperity" of the country.
When the late Lozd Carlie.e was here as Lord
Lieutenant, tt vice-regal speeches at the so
ciety's banquets were quite pecul!arlty. IL
| was in one of these speeches that that cultl-
waited rulfian said Ireland was destined to be
. n c:utfu mother of locks and nerds aud
| at the very time that there was KIND OF tam
inc in tho land and the Feniaus were prepar-
! ing to break into insurrection, LORD Carlisle
was insisting at the Society's blnquets that no
cessors have faithfully followed in his foot
steps. Once every year, as regularly as posi-
BILE, at the Societys banquet the LORD Lieu
tenant of the day makes speech, IN which ne
tries to twist every fact concerning the agri-
cultural commercial and social interests of the
o country into 8 proof that the country IS pros
I nerng as no other country on the face OF the
earth The present Lord Lieutenant, Lord
Spencer has not scrupled for five years to re-
: sort to this disgraceful practice: This year,
S however, he has positively eAhhoissa sig y o.
:" ford on Wednesday night, he had, as usual, to
= | announce an increase in the NUMBER OF sheeI
y and cattle during the year but he announced
u at the same time o decrease in the number o
10 acres under tillage and he misunderstanding III
,f had often secuted before-that tins latter rae
- - was q bad sign. l shall not further allude U
10 this matter than to say that there were othe
". admissions in his speech which Justify com
10 nletely the action of the national party, am
80 that at the conclusion he limited rather broad
u, III that the Government would soon purchase M
% if they could, every popular leader In Ireland
g. Very significant, indeed, is the state of tn
1g representation of Westneat At the genera
ld election in 1868, Capt. Greville and Mr. Polar
st Urauhart-two Wing hacks-were returne
by rithont opposition to represent it in Par!i:
mt mont. Two years ago, the latter gentleua
De- died and SO great already had the influence {
er the National party become, so atTonp tno oi
mt like of the Government that in his place thei
IN Yves elected, without oppositl9n, Mr; +.
're Smytk-the advanced Nationalist-who ST.
ut represents the county. But what want
as direct the readers attention to particular
rid now is that there is serious question wneth
wn Can't Grevillcs seat is not now vacated, al
ers there should not be a new election at ono
;cd There has been a reconstruction OF the MINI
not try In England, and amongst the changes ma
the ia the promotion of Capt GreVlile from
,ay nosition of groom in waiting" to lords D
i 1 IF the Treasury. Up to 1867 there was la
OF that every member of the House of Common
gan on accepting office or on being transferred 1re
rne one office to another, vacated his scat, a
1t should 90 back to his constituents for re-el
leir tion. In 1867 the law was changed to this e
MI tent, that a person accepting any one OF
the tain POSTS (Which are named) in lieu OF ana
rib immediate succession to any other of those pc
was need not vacate his seat every person, on
axe cepting any of these offices for the II
to time or at any period longer than few az
imi- after his resignation of one of them, bel
i is, still obliged to seek reelection. Now
tice Gladstone and Capt Greville know very W
bel that if the latters acceptance of Office Ut
the present time would compel him to seek
'the election, he would not set for Westmeatn :
de longer-that, in fact, Home Ruler , Woulu
con- returned in his stead and MIR. Gladstone
'aph cordingly promoted him because he belle'
1t at he wonId not need reelection The grount
Butt his belief was that he held office already,
as that he was, therefore, only succeeding lm
imi- diately to another-the case precisely IN WI
,ally reelection is not necessary. Mr.. Bntt, u
