The arrangements celebration in Mon
treal, Canda did not pass off with
out bloodshed, though the good offices
and good sense of the better classes of
the Irish population prevented any ex-
tensive collision. On Wednesday a
rough character, who identified him
self with the Catholics, was bayoneted
to death by another Catholic who was
on guard duty. On Thursday last a
crowd Of roughs attacked two Protestant
women who wore orange flowers on
their bosoms, and in a melee which fol-
lowed one Protestant man was killed
and three men and one woman woun-
ded. Such atrociously disgraceful af-
fairs appear to be chronic affliction to
the Canadian body polite. On this side
of the line about the first idea sought to
be inculcated into the mind of a man
seeking home in the United States is
that he must let other people alone, to
play or pray as suits them best. For
some time it was rather difficult to re-
press the outcropping of Old World ami
mosities, but at present Catholic or a
Protestant C celebration is an affair about
as severely let alone by outsiders as any
commonplace, everyday matter.

| There seems to be little dissatisfac-
ton in the keystone State as to Mr..
Hayes's policy. Senator Newmeyer OF
Pittsburgh, Speaker of the Pennsylva-
MIA State Senate, in an interview said
II think things are much mixed. II
looks as if we (the Republicans were
going to be beaten this fall. Our people
are not satisfied, and the Convention
will never indorse. Hayes's Southern
policy. My county allegheny has
passed resolutions against Hayes's poll
cy, and our delegates will vote and work
against any such Endorsement. The re
cent order of the President, which pulls
out the teeth and cuts off the claws O.
every good Republican in office, has
very much discouraged our people, and
they say, ooh, what's the use of oul
working and votingv and there is NJ
power that can get those sort of people
out to vote"

Thus it will be perceived that Repudi-
alton as a panacea will save five cents
on every dollar of our present rates of
taxation.
Is it worth while to steal so little :?
Will such petty larcency pay? Won't
it cost more than it comes to-?
We leave this question for the rising
statesman to ponder over.
"ANoTHER PRECINCT HEARD FROM
BURKE's MILL FOR MAHoNE.-A wri-
ter in the Richmond Wing, of last Fri.
day, signing himself 3d." undertakes
to give old Augusta to Malone. Hear
the words of the prophet:
~, with, believe, large majority of
the people of Augusta, AS well as Vir
ginia, rejoice that at least one of the prom-
inent candidates for Governor of Vir
ginia has the frankness to declere the
truth IN regard to our State finances, and
to take his stand thereupOn in the COM
ing canvass. The masses of this county
believe Gen. Malone is right, and the
more widely his position on this most
important question is known, the more
clearly will it be recognized that he is
the man for the occasion. He has gained
adherents rapidly since the publication
of his letter, even among those who were
his decided opponents upon minor points
but not affecting his integrity or ability.
We recognize the fact that it is absurd
to stop to clean away the rubbish around
house when that house is enveloped in
flames. You will hear no doubtful voice
from Augusta when the question comes
to the test"
