AN INVESTIGATION CHECKED.

The Democratic papers have come to a
dead halt in the matter of the alleged
bribery of the Lieutenant Governor. Like
the Democratic investigating committee
of Congress, they find themselves in dan
ger of flushing Democratic game, and are
anxiously calling off their dogs. In this
connection we observe that two very zeal
GUS workers in the Democratic vineyard
are asking each other who was to put up
the money in case
The Times led off thus:
During the height of the impeachment
excitement it is alleged that Barrett, Jr,
interviewed several prominent Democrats
upon that subject. and at length appeared
before Lieutenant Governor Antoine in the
capacity of ambassador. he pledged to
Antoine fer the impeachment OF Kellogg
twenty thousand dollars in cash, and, OF
course, the act ing governorship.
This brought the Picayane quickly to
its feet with the naggy inquiry:
Does the Times mean to insinuate that
the Democrats attempted to bribe Antoine,
or any other man, into assisting them in the
impeachment OF Governor Kelloggl
The matter having grown rather serious,
the Times gracefully turns aside the rising
storm Of wrath BY general denial and
challenge for proof from its inquiring con-
temporary:
No, gentle granny! Tie your csp-strings

O'CONNELL, THE LIBERATOR.

When We read the history of this reso-
lutte man standing for the rights of dis
franchised people, we derive some pride
from the reflection that those who defend
the political equality of the colored race
in the Southern States read the ridi-
cule and the rage with which the Irish
people and their patriotic defenders were
referred to by those who denied their
rights. O'Connell was "big beggarman.
The voluntary contributions by which the
Irish people enabled him to devote his
life to their defense, was stigmatized as
robbery.
The right Of representation and of suf-
frage in State and national affairs which
Ireland claimed through the lips Of her
fearless orator was denied, and that free
dom of religion which the American re-
public has alone accorded to all men was
denounced by the established clergy as an
atrocious attempt to legalize dissent.
Contemporaneous literature shows the
wits and government scribes always ready
to sheer at the poverty or verbal blunders
of the Irish people, and the traditional
"bog trotter" continued to hold the stage
until the genius, courage and learning of
Irish scholars and Irish soldiers rendered
such imputations so unjust as to inflict
the charge of ingratitude upon the Eng
fish people who employed them. America
of course contributed immensely to illus
trate this just standard of national merit
The opportunities afforded by emigration
for the development and display of these
high qualifications in man and woman have
created an influence here which restricts
the severity of English sarcasm. Per-
haps England begins to see the invaluable
element of energy and integrity which
she has driven into exile by an oppressive
policy.
Had O'Connell been in his day enabled
to show the value of the despised people
for whom he pleaded the policy of Eng
land might have been other than what it
is now. His labors have been blessed,
his motives appreciated. The fearless
representative OF depressed and despised
people will pass into the pantheon of
such heroes as Cromwell, Hampden and
Emmett, all of whom were hated by the
despotism of their day as selfish dema-
gogues. Those men in the South who
shall have contended for the political
rights, education and industrial employ
ment Of the emancipated will receive q
q similar acknowledgment of patriotism.
In the meantime they should experience
no encouragement il, like the great Irish
iberator, they are visited with the vitupera-

CONNECTICUT DEMOCRACY AND THEIR
SOUTHERN POLITICAL SERBS.

Connecticut is renowned throughout the
world for the educated acuteness of her
people. The combat for generations with
physical difficulties of soil and climate
has compelled her people to exercise those
attributes Of energy and ingenuity which
dominate over nature. Among other
needs Connecticut has required some ma
tional aid in the industrial disadvantages
under which she has labored. She has,
therefore, advocated and accepted the
highest protection ever accorded by the
federal revenue laws. From this union of
energy and ability Con necticut has always
enjoyed lucrative business at the South,
SO that when Connecticut patriarch
comes to be gathered to his fathers he be-
queaths. to each of his descendants, so
much Southern territory" within which
to vend a patent medicine or window
catch. In doing so he turns into futurity
with the consciousness that he has pro-
vided as surely for such legatees as if he
had given them the fee simple Of the ter
ritory sure enough. With the Demo-
cratic politician of Connecticut it is some
what the same practice. He goes into
convention in national minority with an
assurance that he has political inheri-
lance in the hatred, greed and political
necessities of the Southern Democrat, SO
sure as that it can not suffer defeasance
by any violation Of Democratic Southern
principle essential to Northern Democratic
success.
OF this general and geographical sketch
we will proceed to offer some illustrations.
Senator English, of Connecticut, was the
chief issue in the late election over the
questionable result Of which the Southern
Democracy make such rejoicing. He was
an early abolitionist, and voted before the
war for the repeal of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia. He was, besides, q
high tariff advocate, and an earnest friend
ofthe late war. We have said enough to
excite the surprise of all that an election
involving such an issue should excite the
enthusiasm of State rights Democrats at
the South. No higher evidence could be
required that the Democracy has aban-
doned all, save the principle that to the
victors belong the spoils. Look at the
conduct of Democratic Connecticut during
the Wal. How many soldiers and substi-
tutes did she send; what an amount of
shoddy clothes, paper-soled shoes, sheet
iron camp kettles, shirts, pants, gum
elastic overcoats and wall teuts; what .
