John Mitchell.

Probably no Irishnan of this century, with
the exception of Daniel O'Connell, was better
known to the world than John Mitchell His
celebrity was not due to the possession of ex-
traordinary intellectual ability. He was an
able but not great writer an earnest
speaker, but poor orator an ardent revo-
lutionist, but not successful leader. Other
Irishmen of his time displayed greater powers
in literature, in eloquence and in political
management yet he surpassed them all in
the estimation of his countrymen by the I'M
ceasing, tireless, passionate energy with which
for more than thirty years be championed the
cause Of Irish freedom. Hannibal did noe
hate Rome more than Mitchell hated the
English government. and he became the ex-
tilty. 1t was not concession that he de-
manded, rights under the Grown, nor the res
toration of tie Irish Parliament he insisted
upon the absolute independence Of Ireland,
and was ready to secure il by armed
revolution. The policy he pursued was called
treason in England, and was, therefore, pat
rotism in Ireland. To free his country be-
came the cream OF Els lie, ana 1T was because
he never abandoned the struggle to make it a
reality because neither suffering, banishment
nor failure ever shook his unrelenting pur-
pose, that he commanded above all others the
admiration Of his nation, and was looked upon
in onr day as the representative of its wrongs
and its aspirations.
While the death of John Mitchell will be
deeply mourned by his countrymen their re-
grets will be lessened, perhaps, by the knowl-
edge that his work was done. If Irish inde-
pendence is ever achieved he could not have
hoped to see it. He was old and feeble and
his usefulness to his cause was embodied more
in the records of his past than in the hopes
of the future. His death crowned
his last protest against British rule.
Elected TO the British Parliament from
Tipperary and declared disqualified as
felon, be had the satisfaction of being again
returned by his countrymen as defiance of
the government This was ali that he could
have wished, for even had the Disraeli Cabi-
| net had the wisdom and magnanimity to con-
cede the legality of his election, he could not
have entered Parliament, for he would have

The Arrest of sharkey.

We have in our special cable dispatches
from Havana the important news that Shar-
key, an escaped murderer under sentence of
death in New York, has been arrested
in Santiago, whittier he had fed; but
we have had no information that
our government requested his ar
rest by the Spanish authorities. This
seizure appears to have been their voluntary
act, and as such it will crafty the
American people. When it was first
made known that Sharkey was re-
siding in Havana, as no extradition treaty
exists between this country and Spain,
the HERALD suggested that the government
should ask his return, not as a right, but
as an act of international comfy. We
cited ample precedent for such a course,
and pointed out that no civilized nation
would deliberately connive at the escape of
the condemned criminals of neighbor. But
so far as we have learned from Washington
this request was never made, and it appears
that the Spanish authorities have arrested
Sharkey upon the abstract principles OF inter-
national justice to which We called the atten-
ton of our government.
Our accounts differ as to the disposition to
be made OF the fugitive, one despatch saying
that he will be delivered to an American de-
tective in Havana, to be brought to New
York, while another asserts that he may be
banlshed from the island of Cuba. We trust
that this latter plan will not be adopted.
Our government should not permit Sharkey
to wander over the face Of the earth, and
Spain having so honorably fulfilled moral
obligation without being asked, the United
States should perform its plain duty without
further delay.

Tho Canal Ring.

The lively controversy which has been pre-
cipitated by Governor Tildens Message on
the canals bids fair to be the most engrossina
topic of State politics for some time to come.
We sent reporter yesterday to interview
Senator Lord, who is reputed to be promi
nent member of the Canal Ring, and who
evinced more outspoken hostility to the
Message than any other member of the Legis-
lature when it was sent in and read on
Friday. The circumstances reclted by our
reporter are significant. 1t was his purpose
to interview Senator Lord at his hotel, but on
inquiry there the reporter was told that he
had gone to the Mayors Office. Our alert
representative followed him to that place, and
found him engaged, with knot OF other poll
ticians, including Speaker MCCLURE in confer
cncs with Mayor Wickham. 1t is curl.
Gus and suggestive circumstance that the
democrats of the Legislature who are hostile
to Governor Tilden rush down to the city on
Saturdays to confer with Mayor Wicknam. 1t
looks as if the democracy were divided into
militant camps-a Tilden camp and Wick
ham camp-and as if the anti-Iilden demo
Gratis of the Legislature, after having fought
the Governor during the week, came to the
opposition headquarters in this city to arrange
their strategy for the week following.
Senator Lord made some very wild state
ments in his interview, which disclose an
uncomfortable state of excitement and ami.
mostly. He charges Governor Tilden with
having declared that he had bought up the
press of the city, charge which those who
know the habitual wariness of the Governor
will be slow to believe, and which everybody
who knows anything of the city press will
laugh at. He also accuses the Governor OF
having been an ally of Tweed in the days OF
his power, which shows how hard pushed
he is for weapons against the Governor
He says that Governor Tilden has
presidency on the brain, which, for aught
we know, may be true enough; but we know
of no more legitimate way of commencing
ones self for the Presidency than by vigor.
Gus hostility to rings and corruption Ali 20
can make of Senator Lords heated declara.
tons in his interview is that he is furiousIy
incensed against the Governor, and that the
rcputed members of the Canal Ring will MOI
hesitate to fight him in the Legislature. There
is evidently to be sharp and exciting contest
on the canal question, and if the Governor
has strained any points against The Canal
Ring they are pretty certain to detect and
point out the flaws in his reasoning and unfair.
ness in his damaging statistics When the
Albany opponents OF Governor Tilden cluster
around Mayor Wickham for counsel the pros.
pect of democratic harmony in this State is
rather slender.

The Vine1and Shooting.

The power of the press IS so great and is
so often given over to imprudent or mex
perienced persons that the wonder is not that
measurably greater than they are. Even
journals which are comparatively useless in
promoting the good can be used with
immense effect for evil. II is as easy for an
obscure sheet to start an immense scandal
as for spark to kindle the fire that
shall destroy city. Every paper that is
printed is like sword which once drawn
cannot be sheathed again. What is said can
not be unsaid, and there are few conscientious
and experienced journalists, who do not pro-
foundly feel their responsibility and hesitate
in attacking measures and men lest they
ignorantly destroy what cannot be easily
restored.
1t is impossible, We think, not to ascrbe
the shooting at Vineland, n. j., to false
theory of journalism. We need net enter into
the original merits of the difficulty to discover
this. No public acts that Mr.. Lands may
have committed justified Mr.. Carruth, the
editor Of the hodependent, in making him and
hs family for six years the objects OF personal
attack. This Mr.. Carruth is said to have
done; certainly the article which en-
ragged Mr.. Lands, and was the imme-
diate occasion Of the crime, should never
have been published. 1t was coarse, untrue,
malicious. Its purpose evidently was not to
benefit the community but TO pain an enemy.
There is nothing so mean as to use a great
hatred. There is nothing so cowardly for it
is not often that the person attacked by q
paper can reply to it with effect vindica-
ton, says William Goodwin, is itself an evil,
for it crculates anew the SANDER it is intended
to destroy.

strictly prohibited by law in the common
schools, must be equally operative in the
parochial schools. During the six hours OF
each school day devoted to instruction the
parochial schools must follow. without varia-
ton, the very same routine as the regular
common schools. Why, then, it may be
asked, do not the Catholics drop their paro-
chial schools and come into the common school
system without conditions? The obvious
answer is that they wish to reserve the privi-
lege Of giving religious instruction out OF the
regular schoolhours. The legal basis of such
an arrangement as we have Imagined would
be limited lease Of the parochial school
buildings to the city for the six hours of each
secular day during which the common schools
are in session. For these six hours the paro-
chial schools would be, in name and in fact,
regular common schools, conducted in all
respects like the other common schools. But
the parishes would retain control of the school
buildings during the Unbiased hours, and the
pupils could remain after three o'clock to
receive religious instruction. 1t is only on
this basis, if on any basis, that an adjustment
seems possible, and we have serious doubts
whether it be practicable at all

wind, as though 1t were an insignificant tribe
! to set the Sunday congregations into roars Of
laughter all this constitutes an enigma which
only he who lives it can understand, but
which even he cannot explain to the satisfac-
ton of ordinary men.
Tc say that Mr. Beecher is responsible for
the spiritual indifference in the churches
during the last year is equivalent to saying
that men are worse than foolish in pinning
their faith to the life of any man. 1t is a
curious fact, however, that great many men
feel as though religion itself were being tested
in the person of the Brooklyn pastor His
life is regarded as one of the evidences of
Christianity, and if that life is proven i'm
pure then the whole structure of religion
falls TO the ground. Such position is not,
of course, the result Of reasoning. No man
who has brains enough to fill magpies skull
will think less of honesty or personal cleanli-
ness because popular preacher is reported
to have on soiled suit of clothes. No one
rejects genuine dollar greenback because a
certain thousand dollar bill is suspected of
being counterfeit. Mr.. Beecher and any half
dozen other men of equal calibre might step
down and out without affecting in a percepti-
bic degree the general approval of virtuous
life. Christianity is not upheld by men, but
stands of ITSELF 1t may not fatter our
egotism but it is nevertheless, true that
great men are not as important as they think
they are, and that when they take their leave
others equally gifted will make their appear
ance.
Within the last few weeks we have noticed
larger degree of activity on the part of pas
tors all over the country. 1t may be that the
old impression is wearing off, or it may be
that the nauseating details of the court room
are producing reaction. When water is i'm
very slight stirring will cause it to crystalline
The better feelings of the people, their re-
ligious faith and zeal have been held, as it
were, in solution during the Brooklyn Attic
ton, and the recent shaking of the jar by Mr..
Marley and those who second him may serve
to start the process of capitalization. At
any rate the Church does not need to be
told by laymen that Christianity is not like a
pyramid, so nicely balanced on its apex that
when heavy man or strong society falls
from its inverted base it tits, totters and
tumbles. If it is what we have always
supposed it to be, it is like pyramid firmly
planted on its ample base, immovable by
whole armies of good or bad, and SO secure in
its position that such melodrama or comedy
or tragedy as that which is being enacted on
the Long Island shore is nothing more than
the breath of summer breeze on Sandy Hook.
After all, we fall back with immense satisfac-
ton on this truth, that men may live and die
as they please, principles will endure mistaken
and forever.

The Univcrsities' Boat Race.

There is no boating event in America OF
Europe that commands so much attention as
the annual race on the Thames between the
boat clubs of Oxford and Cambridge univers
tiles. The rivalry between these institutions
has been handed down from veal
to year for nearly two generations,
till it has now become more exciting than
many struggles really Of more Importance.
Novelsts and poets have made the universe
ties boat races favorite theme, and the Sue
cessful men become heroes for life. It
is striking evidence of the hold that
athletic sports have upon society that
hard, quick, determined pull of twenty
minutes on an English river should cause so
many hopes and fears, so much rejoic-
ing and regret, on both sides Of
the Atlantic. The race yesterday, though
not SO close as others have been,
was q fine one, and especially interesting
as it resulted in victory for Oxford TOR the
first time in six years. Cambridge has won
every race since 1869 until this year but in
no case did she defeat her opponents SO badly
as she was herself beaten yesterday. That the
Oxford crew should win by ten lengths wal
more than its warmest admirers expected.

OF crime, for which the penalty Is affixed by

Tho Massacre ut Acapulco.

We doubt very much if religion is ever
dangerous to society excepting when it is as
sociated with political power. 1t is not the
nature of man to hate his fellow man for
difference of belief, but it is the nature of
organized bodies to dispute the possession of
power with their rivals. There are great
many religions in the world, but they rarely
come into conflict excepting where they jostle
in the struggle for the conquest of the things
of this world. Neither Protestants nor Cath
olics in this country feel any par
ticular hatred of the Mohammedans,
the Buddhists, the Fire Worshippers,
the adorers of snakes and monkeys or the
Africans who offer sacrifice to the devil. But
bigoted Catholics and bigoted Protestants are
intensely jealous of each other. The truth
must be admitted that when religion is united
with ecclesiastical rule and the ambition to
extend it it requires great deal Of piety
to make rigid sectarian tolerant and fair
minded man.
The terrible massacre at Acapulco, Mexico,
the details Of which are given to-day by our
correspondent in that town, illustrates this
was worshipping God according to its own way,
the church was broken into by members of
another congregation who believed that way to
be the wrong one, and in short time the
house of the Lord resembled place for the
work of the fiends. Men and women were
ruthlessly struck down in the church, or pur-
sued in the streets by their Infatuated foes
and slam by the sword. 1t was certainly
not religion that inspired this massacre but
the evil passions that the contest for po-
litical power and the control of revenue is
almost certain to provoke. The ignorant
Mexican Catholics fought for their Church
far more than they did for their God it was
the influence of their Church that they saw
menaced by Protestant chapel, and they re-
PEELED the intruding faith by the bloody
weapons that are always the favorite argu-
ments Of the bigot. 1t is a signal example
of heathenish Christians
Fighting like devils for Cancellation
And hating each other for the love Of God.
AS American citizens were among the VIC
Tins Of the Acapulco massacre we think that
it is the duty of the United States government
to investigate the outrage and to insist upon
proper redress from Mexico. Americans are
not safe ont of their own country. 1t is a
pity that this should have to be said, bus there
has been lately too much evidence OF its truth
When Paul was seized by his enemies one of
them, wiser than the rest, said, ''Take heed
what thou doest for this man is Roman"
American honor should be guarded with
equal zeal. When an American is in danger
abroad the ''chief captain" of this nation
should speak as bravely as did the soldier in
Judea when he said, ''Ths man was taken of
the Jews and should have been killed of them !:
then came 1 with an army and rescued him.
