money, papers, etc., and their baggage
taken possession of also. Without even a
preliminary hearing they were placed in a
night, and conveyed to Cork next
morning, where they were taken before
Magistrate O'Donnell, when preliminary
examination took place-no evidence being
received except the testimony for
the Crown, resulting, as matter
of course. in their committal to
Jail, where they remained two days, and
were then sent to Dublin. and confined in

HIS EXPERIENCE IN ENGLISH
DUNGEONS FOR TWENTY
MONTHS.
a Pitiable Tale of Wrongs Inflicted on
an America. Citizen.

On Saturday morning the 18th inst,
there are arrived in Davenport, from New
York, a young man on his way to his
home in Butler township Scott county,
from Ireland, where he had been impris-
ed for over year and half, on a charge
Of Fenianism. His name is William
Malone, aged about 80 years, the son of
an Irish farmer, long resident of Scott
county and we'll known to many citizens
Of this vicinity, From his story it APP
pears that in the early part of April 1875,
William left for New York city, with the
purpose OF making a visit to the old home
in Ireland. There he fell in with a mum
Der OF young lrish-Americans who were
also intent on visit to the green Isle,
and they took passage on the same
steamer for Queenstown. Five of these
were Iowa boys, and feeling of friend
ship at once sprung up between them
and Malone. The names of these Young
men are as follows:
Patrick Lennon, Cedar county, Iowa.
-ONeil, Belle PLANES, Benton coun-
ty, Iowa.
VIM. Seaman, New York city.
VIM, O'Donnell, Cedar county, Iowa.
Vim. Hickey, Boone county, Iowa.
John Maynard, Sac City. Iowa.
They we're about the same age-the
youngest "A, and four Of these we're born
in this cOuntry-sons of wellto do farm
ers,-each being provided pretty literally
with funds. Malone had $40 in gold,
and one of them had as much as $1,000 10
money aud drafts.
The steamer on which they sailed sight
ed Queenstown harbor on the morning of
the 10th of April, 1875, and boat short
ly after came alongside, from which three
or four men came aboard. Two of these
men proved to be detectives, named Daw-
son and Clifford, and just before landing
at Queenstown, Malone and his friends
referred to were invited to the cabin, when
the doors were locked, and they were told
by the detectives above named that they
were under arrest. They desired to know
upon what charge, of course, but they
were informed that they would learn that
in good time. They protested against this
outrage. and produced their passports,
but no attention was paid to them, and
they had to submit with as good grace as
possible.
When the steamer made fast to the
dock they were marched ashore, and taken
to Police Station No. |, which is detective
headquarters, where they were searched,

TnE FLORIDA DECISION

At a late heur last night we received
the intelligence that tho Electoral Tri-
hunal have decided that tho vote OF
Florida shall be counted for Hayes and
Wheeler. We are not informed as to
the grounds upon which this decision
was reached, and cannot, therefore, ex-
press an opinion as to its merits. The
case seemed clear ono to US In favor
OF Tilden and Hendricks, but It
liz shown from our Washington
dispatches, for week past.
that the opinion in Washington
has been that the vote Of Florida would
be either counted for Hayes or thrown
out. and bets were made. OF three that 1t
would be. counted for Hayes, to five that
ie would be thrown out. It woNad seem
from this that there was an in
herent weakness in the case and.
for the honor and credit Of the
Supreme Court OF the United
States, we trust that this was so. and
that the decision is fair one. Other
wise, we are left TO the conclusion that
members OF that court, who were
really the arbiters In this great cause,
have descended to the level Of pot
house politicians, aud dragged their
robes through the filth of Radical
fraud and partisanism.
The Louisiana case will probably be
referred to the Commission to-day. We
shall watch the action Of the Commission
In this instance with intelligent eyes,
and il 1t is in truth animated by the
base aud degrading spirit of PARTISAN
ism, it will be the duty Of the Demo
cratic members TO withdraw from the
deliberations of a Tribunal which has
disgracad the Republic, and shown o
disposition to try one OF the greatest
causes recorded in history in the spirit
OF shysters, and in the interest of
wicked and infamous conspiracy against
the liberties OF the country.

The iFrue In the Louisiana case II
quite different from that Of Florida. Ii
regard 10 the inelisibility Of the TIVE
electors who held Federal Offices at the
time of their election.
These two electors, brewster and Levi
nee, recognized and admitted by their
resignation OF their posts, IA electors,
the fact of ineligihility. from this cause,
That they held the Federal offices at
the time OF their election In admitted.
Reaigning their offices An electors on
this account. they were elected TO I'LL
their own vacancies by tho other mem
bers Of the board.
There can be no question OF the exist.
enee OF these vacancies. Now, by what
authority could these vacancies be
fllledq
The anHwer to this auery can be readi-
Nv given In mest Of the States Of this
Union.
They have provided by statutes for
the filling Of such vacancies. In nearly
all of them the Legislature or the
other memhera OF the board are
empowered to elect persons to I'LL
these vacancies. Their power would
net exiat. unless given by statute.
ia there any such statute in Louis
lanai There was iii 1868 and previous
To tho act Of 1879 creating the Returning
Board, This latter act contains no
clause giving tho power TO the electors
to All vacancies Ia the college. Indeed.
there Ia no reference In the act To nfesi-
dental electors, They are never men
toned Ia the act,
And this act of 1879 repealed the act
OF 1868. II 1t did not, then the Return.
Ing Board had no right to canvass the
returns of votes for electors, for by the
act OF 1868 that power was given to tue
Governor. Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General. But II the act of
1865 was repealed. which we think Is the
better opinion, then the clause in that
act providing for the illling Of vacancies
In the Electoral College no longer exists,
and did not exist when Brewster and
