The O'COnneIl Centenary.

Inc " COnneil centenary.
The centennial anniversary of the
birth of Daniel O'Connell, was celebrat-
ed Friday, 9th inst, in many of the
principal places in this country and Ire
land. There was large meeting in
New York, at which Gen. Mcmahon pre-
sided, and among those present were
Charles O'Connor, Rev. DIR. Chaplin,
VIM. Cullen Bryant, Peter Cooper and
Rev. DIR. Ball. Rev. DIR. McGlynn de-
livered the Grafton. There was also a
large meeting in Boston, and Wendell
Philips delivered an oration said to be
the greatest oratorial effort of his life
The following account of the celebration
in Dublin has come to hand
The route was five miles in length and
the procession extended over the entire
distance. 1t is estimated that there were
nearly 10000 people in the line. The
houses and sidewalks along the route
were crowded with dense masses of spec
tators. There was great cheering as the
procession marched past O'Connell's
house, and the city hall, where the great
liberator delivered his first oration
against the Union. The members of the
Fenian amnesty accociation marched
with a banner at their head, hung with
chains; their flags were draped with
Grape and other emblems of mourning
were displayed. Their appearance at
tracted general attention, but the dem
onstration caused no disorder during the
progress of the procession. DIR. Isaac
Burt and other home rule members OF
parliament marched with the association
In Sackville street as the divisions of the
procession, with bands playing, arrived
and took up their positions the scene was
grand and imposing
Long before all had arrived the com.
memoration ceremonies began at the site
Of the monument. Lord O'Hogan who
was to have delivered the Grafton of the
day was not able to be present, and the
Lord Mayor of Dublin came forward t.
read to the assembled multitude. TIL,
moment he appeared there was great up
roar and confusion. The Fenian amnes
ty men had moved up to the front of thu
platform and as the Lord Mayor begar
to speak they shook the chains attached
to their banners in his face and drowned
his voice with shouts of mo whiggery,
and loud and long continued cries fo
DIR. Butt. The mayor made a seconC
attempt to read the speech but finding i
impossible to make himself heard, with
drew from the platform and proceeded
to his carriage under the protection o
the police. DIR. Butt, in response to re
peated cries, came forward and made
speech reviewing the career of OCon
nell, and thanking the people for thei
praiseworthy conduct during the day
, He was most enthusiastically cheered
Speeches were also made by Mr.. O'Con
nor Power, member of parliament fo
Mayo county, and Mr.. Sullivan, membe
for Louth. The proceedings were thel
brought to close, and the vast Assem-
blage peaceably dispersed. With tn
exception of the scene in front of tn
: platform, there was no serious disturb
ance throughout the day.

Records Of the Late War.

Gen. II. V. Boynton writes to the
Cincinnati Gazette an interesting letter
about the records of the Rebellion. He
says: "Few had any idea of the enor-
nous bulk of the material which makes
up the records of the late war. 1t is
stored in more than a dozen buildings,
and a number of these contain little else
One of these is devoted to what are
termed the records of discontinued CON-
mands, and, rs this title indicates, they
constitute great portion of the field rec
ords of the war. This building is forty
feet by eighty, and is four stories high.
Eight ranges of wide shelves run length
wise through each story from floor to
ceiling, and two-thirds of these are
packed as close as any bookkeeper's
shelves with immense ledgers, which are
the books of letters received and sent,
the telegraph books, battle report books,
order books, and all the great variety of
records which were kept at each head
quarters, and regularly copied into these
volumes. The rest of the shelves are
packed close with unentered papers of
endless kinds, but each containing some
scrap of war history. There are $50
cords of records in this one building.
The huge volumes which look down
from the long lines of shelves on either
side of the narrow aisles, are the books
and papers of the discontinued firm of
Government and Army. These are n
small portion of the accounts between
its members, and with treason.

censc, he would never have been shots
named.
The facts are briefly these Mr.. Muir
ray, the Herald editor, had in his en-
ploy lady by the name of Bayliss, who
was q very good compositor and some
thing of a writer. She was sometimes
employed to do editorial work and was
allowed 20 cents an hour for all the time
thus taken from her "case." Such
"sub" service is not uncommon in
newspaper offices. We never heard OF
its leading to trouble before, but in this
instance dispute arose over the amount
due Miss Bayliss for editorial service.
The amount involved was 81. Murray
ordered her out of the office, and IN
serted highly sensational article in his
paper, rejecting upon the virtue OF his
late employee and present enemy. She
demanded retraction. They met on
the street. She held rawhide behind
her back. He attempted to take 1t from
her, and, not succeeding in that, he gave
her jerk, which layed her fiat on the
sidewalk, to the great disgust of the by
ISLANDERS, and the especial indignation OF
Justice Palmer. Murray, in another
criminal intimacy with the girl. The
next act in the tragedy was the shoot
ing. 1t was two days after the street
scene that the shooting occurred. Palmer
was standing in stairway opposite the
Herald office, waiting for his victim. -

Another Editor Shot.

"a man for breakfast" is familiar
phrase IN all mining camps. 1t is the
usual formula for announcing that there
has been drunken row in the neighbor-
hood, resulting in the fatal shooting of
some one. The affair is so very common
as to excite no great surprise, and rem
der stereotype the language used in CIV
ing the news. Journalists are assaulted
with intent to kill so often of late that
the public is becoming quite familiar
with the phrase, "Another editor shot. "
Some months ago Carruth was shot by
Lands in the famous and eccentric town
of Vineland. The name of the place
should be changed to Grapeshot. Col.
Anthony, of Leavenworth, was also
conspicuous victim of cold lead. The
former finally died the latter recovered
so far, at least, as to resume his work.
The latest editorial "shootee" was
Charles Il. Murray, of the South Bend
1nd.) Herald. He was pierced through
the right lung by an ounce bullet. The
shooting was done by William A. Pal
mer, Justice of the Peace. There was,
as matter of course, woman in the
case. The wounded man is victim to
that base pandering to sensationalism
which is the especial vice of current
journalism. Had he not turned the lib

The strength of the United States on the
Seattle Present Activity In the Navy,
and What II signifies.
Washington Cor New York Times.l
IL is the common opinion among Off
GERS of the navy and in naval circles gen.
orally here that the recently developed
activity in the Navy Department, and at
the various navy-yards on the Atlantic
coast is merely precautionary measure
OH tho part of the Government, and that
it has no immediate connection with any
of the diplomatic questions pending be-
tween the Cabinets of Washington and
Madrid. Naval officers now here ex-
press the belief, however, that President
Grant contemplates, and has, in fact, de-
termined, in his message to the next
Congress, to make recommendation
that belligerent rights be accorded to the
Cuban Republic, and that this prepare
ton is intended to sustain the course of
the Government should Congress deter
mine to accord the Cubans this recogni-
ton. It is argued that this is the only
proper course for the Government TO
pursue at present if such a recommends
ton is intended, as it would be idle to
ask Congress to put the country in con-
dition of menace toward any foreign
power unless we were prepared for re-
sort to arms. BY having the navy in
readiness, as it doubtless will be by the
assembling of Congress, it could not be
answered that the country was not in a
condition for war should any element in
Congress desire to interpose this objec-
ton.
The readiness with which our navy
could be put in active service is not gen
orally appreciated; but it is fact that
since the Virginius complications the
large number of vessels then prepared
and put into commission have not been
allowed to fall into disuse or neglect, and
that very small amount of work is all
that would be required.
The following tables, prepared from
the Navy Register of late date, and
revised by one of the naval constructors
now in this city, gives the number OF
ships of all classes that are now actually
ready for immediate service if required
together with their tonnage and tota
armament.

The Presidential Succession.

The death of vice-President Henry
Wilson, who would have succeeded
President Grant If he had been called
upon by the Relentless Archer, will give
rise to the question of how, in such
cases, the Presidential Office is filed.
The Constitution of the United States
only provides for the Vice-Presidentiai
succession. The rest is to he provided
by law. This law was passed by the first
Congress which assembled at the seat of
Government in Philadelphia. The Sen
ate elects presiding officer to take the
position of Vice-President when he is
absent. BY a law of Congress he is to
be President, If both the President and
Vice President should die or become in
capable. After him there is the Speaker
of the House of Representatives Then
the Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court.
After him all the Associate Justices in
the order in which they were appointed
by the seniority of their commissions.
