The O.MnIOny demonstration.

Ale OMunOny demonstration.
LONDON, February 2l.-The reception
OF O Mahony's remains at Cork disap.
pointed all expectation. Only u few
hundred people accompanied the corpse
to the Democratic Club. There was no
torchlight procession, and no political
demonstrations were made. The dele.
gates who accompanied the remains from
New York are indignant at the conduct
OF the Captain Of the steamer Dakota,
who refused TO recognize them during the
voyage, or to supply them with an Amer
lean flag TO cover the coffin on landing,
because he would not countenance what
he considered to be disloyal demonstra-
tion.
LONDON, February 26.-Various ac.
counts Of the O'Mahoney demonstration
yesterday in the London papers concur
in stating that ii fell very far short of the
expectations Of its promoters. The most
liberal estimate of the number who took
part in the procession is 5000, although
most OF the accounts place it at 1000.
Spectators were numerous but apn-
thetic. OSullivan was the only member Of
Parliament present. The body remained
at the railway. station Sunday night
under a guard Of honor. Casey, par
doned Fenian, aNssisted at the funeral as
pall.bearer. The American delegation
appeared rather surprised at the apathy
OF the public.
Cork, February 25.-Thc remains of
John O'Mahoney were taken from the
rooms OF the Democratic club to-day and
escorted TO the Dublin railway station.
The weather was fine and the popular
demonstration great success. The city
was crowded with strangers. Hundreds
came in from the country districts and
large number was present from Mitchells.

Democratic Caucus Saturday
Night.

WASHINGTON, February 24.-Aiter the
House had taken u recess until Monday
Democratic caucus was announced for
tonight at 7.S0. At that hour about 20
members were present. Some OF those
favoring dilatory proceedings in the cleo.
toral count were absent, rs they were dis
satisfied with the action Of the majority
Of their party to-day in voting to CON
tinue the count, while those in favor OF
continuing the count did not care to meet
with those oil opposite views. The object
OF the caucus, however, had no reference
to the proceedings Of the House in regard
to the count, but with regard to the law OF
1892, which provides that in case OF re-
moval, death, resignation or inability of
both the President and Vice President of
the United States, the President OF the
Senate, or il there is none, the Speaker
Of the House shall act as President until
the disability is removed or a President
elected. 1t was contended in caucus that,
should there be no declaration before the
9Th Of March as 10 the election Of a
President, based on the electoral returns,
there would be such a vacancy as is con.
templated by the law, and therefore pro.
vision should be made for such contin.
gency.
Representative Field stated that he
had prepared n bill to meet the contin.
gency, which he explained, after some
discussion.
The caucus adopted resolution which
instructed the Committee on the Powers,
Privileges and Duties oil the House to re.
port on Monday, or at their earliest prac.

discussion, relative to the disposal OF the

no resolutions on this point were adopted,
and caucus adjourned.

THE POLICY OF DELAY.
Mr.. McMahon rose and was recognized
by the Chair.
Mr.. Hale rose to point Of order, and
argued that nothing was in order except
to notify the Senate that the House was
ready at once to receive them to proceed
with the electoral count.
The Speaker suggested that perhaps
Mr.. McMahon's resolution had bearing
upon that question.
Mr.. McMahon's resolution was then
read, and authorized the Clerk 10 inform
the Senate that the House would be ready
to receive that body at ] o'clock 7. NJ. TO-
day.
Mr.. Wilson made the point Of order on
the resolution, and offered one that the
Senate be notified that the House would
receive them at once. Mr.. Wilson said
that his resolution was in order, because
he held that under the law 1t was The
duty 10 meet at once as soon as there was
a notification OF the agreement Of the tri'
bunal. He contended that II would be nc
more in violotion Of law for the Senate
TO invite the House to meet in their hal
than for the House to refuse to hold the
session at once.
The Speaker said he would recognize
Mr.. Wilson's resolution as a substitute
for Mr.. MtMahon's, and the first vott
would be taken on that.
Pending vote, Mr.. Atkins reported
the army appropriation bill and II wa.
made the special order after the sundry

Gext SO shallow can not deceive the moral
sense of any honest man. In most con-
troversies both parties believe themselves
to be in the right; and it is with view to
an impartial decision upon rival claims
that tribunals of Judgment are established
by law. To forestall such decision by cor
rupt influences secretly employed in favor
of one party against another, is as unfair
and dishonorable as it is subversive of the
great object of legal tribunals.
Such methods of corruption may be ap-
proved by."the higher ranges of local pol
itics" in this city, but can not fail to bring
down on those who adopt them the indig-
nant reprobation of all upright citizens
both here and elsewhere.
AS soon as order is again restored, it is
to be hoped that the proper authorities of
the State will bring to the bar of offended
justice the parties who have set the law at
defiance, and have sought, happily in
vain, by such fagitious means to tamper
with and deprave its ministers.

MORE, DBMOORAT1o INCORPORATES.

1t is little unlucky that the Democ-
racy has not Republican Legislature
upon which to lay the responsibility of
granting to its Oldest and best some more
monopolies of our State and city. We
noticed the bill to bestow the public
printing by party contract, and expressed
the opinion that under its terms a con-
tractor could well absorb by honest work.
at the prices fixed, all the appropriations
made for the public printing. Another
bill proposes to give to select few, under
the name of the Board of Trade, the re-
sponsible duty of appointing inspectors
of produce.
We now add to the list of Democratic
monopolies bill to authorize the sale of
the public water supply of the people tc a
body of rich aristocrats. This last would
relieve an Administrator from duty Just
as we have heretofore seen the care of the
public wharves devolved by the Admins
traitor of Commerce upon another asso-
citation of the same character.
1t may be very true that a man calling
himself Democrat may do any act with
impunity, and even with applause, while
another, called Republican, might be
assassinated with general appreciation for
the Preparation of similar act; bat have
the. people who are taxed on their
food and drink, and in the pro-
lection of their crops no interest in this
matter? We think they have. The
property of the city depends upon the
aboliti on of this monarchical system of
rewarding court favorites by grant of a
royalty upon popular consumption. We
trust the members of the moot Legisla-
ture will stand fast against these COR
morants and deny them even the encour-
agement of bogus bill When the true
Legisla ture of Louisiana shall assemble
we may safely pledge the Republican
party for the reputation of the whole
system.
