there wns no such act. The date should haye been

John Mitchell died, as he had lived, in
active hostility to British rule in Ireland.
The suddenncss with which the an
nouncement of his death has followed
on the news Of his second election to
Parliament by the voters of Tipperary.
gives it an almost startling dramatic in
terest; but we think that the general feel
ing will be, that useless conflict has
thus been happily ended. Mitchell WAS
m uneasy soul, natural irreconcilable,
with great deal of vehemence. but very
little judgment He has really never
dono the national cause in Ireland any,
thing but harm; and his election from
Tipperary. while complimentary enough
to himself, was piece of illogical wrong
headedness that could have produced no
fruit but bitterness and strife. He has
gone to his rest now, and that is the end
OF it. His son, an ex-Confcdemte officer,
will probably be chosen in his plnce. He
will take his seat in tho House of Com
mons, and will never be heard of any
more. The truth is, the time when mere
agitation could accomplish anything for
Ireland has gone by. 1t WAS tried once,
as it never can bo again, by really great
