A CITIZEN OF IOWA IMPRISONED
IN ENGLAND.
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 10 Butler township, Scott county,
from Ireland, whore 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 visit to the old home
In Ireland. There he fell in with num-
Der of young lrish-Americans who were
also intent on a 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 wong
men are as follows:
Patrick Lennon, Cedar county, Iowa.
" Neil, Belle PLANES, Benton coun-
ty, Iowa.
VIM. Seaman, New York city.
VIM, ODonnell, Cedar county, Iowa.
VIM. Hickey, Boone county, Iowa.
John Maynard, Sac City, Iowa.
They were about the same age-the

In this cOuntry-sons of well.to do farm
ers,-each being provided pretty literally
with funds Malone had $40 in gold,
and one of them had as much as So 900 in
money and 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

The services of Capt. Halls company
are regarded as one of the necessities
of Western Texas. The Legislature
failed to make appropriation for it's
maintenance longer than this month,
and in view of this fact meeting OF
stock men is to be called at Goliad on
the eleventh instant to devise q
plan If possible to continue its exis-
tence as the States efficient police
force. 1t is thought that these people
will advance the State sufficient money
to maintain the company SO long as its
services are needed, looking to the next
Legislature for an appropriation by
which they may be reimbursed. The
Go)iad Guard says the company has
restored peace and order to the coun-
try, but that no we'll informed man
will deny the fact, that security will
cease as soon as it is disbanded.
The people cannot afford to lose the
vantage ground gained by these brave
men. If they allow this to be lost by
indifference or illiberahty q relapse
into crime and outlawry will again
possess the country, and services
in the past will have been wantonly
thrown away.

VAUGHN THOMAS AND LERDO.

Lerdo, it is re-asserted, has been
aware Ct the flibusteriBg movements
against Mexico from the day Of their
inception, and never saw lit to deny
it until he began to realize that the
movement is not An auxiliary one to
his restoration to power. He had
believed it to be otherwise, but Buell.,
the Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans DeDlOcrat, asserts that
Thomas does not propose to play sec
ond fiddle to anyone. Buell. has no
sympathy with any Mexican govern
ment, for he knows none Of them have
ever shown an ability to administer
law and order. He is nothing more
than practical revolutionist, IN which
business he has been engaged for the
last twenty-eight years. He was one
of the Argonauts in 1S49, and
has participated in every revo-
luton on the American continent
from that day to this, even includ-
ing that of Macmillan. Buell.
says of him that he is forty-two years
old, in the prime of vigor, mentally
and bodily, more thoroughly versed in
the language. laws, customs and
characters of the Spanish-American
people than any other native of the
United States, and animated by
single idea-the doctrine of manifest
destiny, which he learned when boy
of eighteen, sitting at the feet of
Walker, and which he will never for
get or abandon SO long as he can live
to see foot of North American terri
tory awaiting the coming of its natural
master, the Anglo-SaxOn. He claims
that conquests are not the work of pre-
meditation, and that greater motives
than human power produce results.
Much preliminary work is being done
to put his scheme to moving, and after it
is once inaugHrated he Is satisfied it will
produce the desired end. The chief
obstacle is the difficulty of procuring
funds. Men enough, and to spare, are
ready and anxious, but there is no
transportation for them to the scene of
action. Negotiations for funds are in
progress, but it is no easy matter to
raise million dollars, even ON good
paper, and much more diff
ficult to get men to stake that vast sum
upon the desperate fortunes Of an en-
terprise which will not only have to
fight an enemy in his front, but which
must first run gauntlet of neutrality
laws and red tape before it can even
get at its enemy. This is not Thomas's
first movement in the path Of manifest
destiny. 1t will not be his last, either;
for he will never quit till he finds sue
cess or death, and the dream of his
life is that both may come together in
a blaze of glory.

The New York fire insurance com
panies, through the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, have already begun
the proper protest against Fourth OF
July fire crackers and other loose py-
rotechnics in the city. The board
gives some startling figures. The In
voice value Of all the fire-crackers i'm
ported since January 1, 1865, is less
than 81, 500, 900, while the loss by only
two fires directly occssioned by them
was 81, 500, 900! On one day only Of
last year the loss traceable to them
amounted to twenty-five per cent. of
the whole invoice value of the impor-
tations in 1875. Every dollars worth
of crackers imported has occasioned q
direct loss by fire OF upwards of 800.
The centennial Fourth OF July cost the
insurance companies alone 1854, 574,
while the value of the crackers i'm
ported during the year was but $166, =
095. Then fireworks of American
manufacture during the ten years from
1866 cost 1850, 600. The present
head of the city government Of Austin
knows all about fireworks and the dan
gers incident to their use, and as we
are to have one Fourth of July under
his reign it is hoped that he will inter
dict at once the sale and use Of fire.

THE Springfield Mass DailV Union
had not heard of the election of Mon
day in this city when it said ON the
twenty eighth ult. that "the woman sui.
frage movement in the United States
reached its high tide in the years di,
rectly following the war, when an en-
thusiaam for big reforms pervaded the
country. A race of slaves had Just
been transformed by stroke of the
pen into freemen, an d by constitution,
al amendment into citizens. 1t seemed
easy to alter the form of society OF
politics in almost any line that appear
ed desirable, with no trouble or ex,
pense worth speaking of. A different
sentiment prevails at present. The ne,
gro experiment has kept the country
In turmoil for ten years and is now
settled for the present in way that
disgusts those who proposed it. Any
more national experiments with the
suffrage will not be in favor for at
least one generation to come. If this
be the feeling of the North, even of
Massachusetts,, what must be the emo
tons of the average Rutabaga of
Texas. Monday the colored troops of
the capital of Texas fought nobly,
and the capital of Texas, in its govern
ment, is another Timbuctoo or Ujiii.
When we spoke of the fact TO mem
Der of the late Constitutional Conven-
ton that fastened these terrors upon
Texan towns and cities and counties,
with degree Of stupidity and moral
cowardice unexampled in legislation,
We were told that we were beaten for
"want of white organization. If
organization mean ''money" then
the defender of the inanities of Ruta-
bagaism may be right and we do sadly
need Organization. An analysis of
the vote shows however that if the two
highest candidates had alone entered
the field the elect of Monday would
have received much greater majority
than was given him. Until the law be
reformed and suffrage restricted we
can have proper local governments 10y
but one single process. We must
either buy votes creating, by individual
subscriptions as is done in most South
ern cities, fund for the purpose, or
the bull-deZing process of Louisiana
must be resorted to. A colored gentle
man half drunk crossed the river at
annse; Monday. lie was singing mer-
rty. When asked the cause OF his
blesseaness his answer was that he
''got six drinks aud SILVER half dol
lar for hrs vote and that he alters cum
20 town lection days" BV such peo-
pie are corporations in Texas governed
and by worse was the organic law of
Texas devised.
