Leltrlnl's lr0neral.

The scene at Lord Leitrim's funeral,
in Dublin, the 10th inst, was very violent and
disgraceful. A mob that gathered in front OF
the church eudeavored to capture the hearse,
declaring their intention to drag out the
corpse. They yituperated the late earl as a
ruffian and as an old hereto. They also
climbed the wall of the church yard, hustled
the mourners and cheered, yelled and Kissed
during the reading of the service. Several of
the mourners were roughly handled while en-
deayoring to make their way into the church.
yard. All of them had to pass out by an un-
frequented way in the rear of the church to
escape violence. Fifty constables were pres
ent, but wholly insufficient to cope with the
mob, many of whom were drunk. T..

Russian Sentiment.

The Journal de St. Petersburg, review
ing the opinions of the foreign press on
Gortschakoff's reply, concludes as follows
1.-THE real desire of Russia, to bring about a
peaceful solution Of the existing difficulties
meets with universal recognition. The British
government must now abandon its purely
negative attitude to assemble for common
negotiations, or by proposing solutions which
the British Cabinet might wish to substitute
for the treaty of San Stefano, should the pow.
ers find compromise, Russia would willingly
participate in the discussion and modify the
treaty. Such a solution should not, however
nullify the results gained by Russian blood,
but take int account her sacrifices" Z.

Indian Removal.


Gen. Sheridan, obedient to the order
of the President, has directed Gen. Pope. CON-
manding the department of the Missouri, to
cause the Ute Indians to be removed from the
State of Colorado to the Territory of New
Mexico, and to use what troops may be ne
cessary to effect the transfer. The govern
ment authorities have determined upon this
disposition of the tribe as the wisest step that
can be taken under the circumstances. The
question of removal has been under consider
alton for several months. The Ute tribe, num-
beers $4,000 men, women and children, divided
into dozen or fifteen bands. Two or three
email bands have wandered out Of Colorado
into the adjacent territories, but they can be
brought to the general rendezvous with little
difficulty. It is regarded in military circles
as extremely doubtful if the tribe will submit
to a removal without more or less resistance.

Our Paris Gable Letter.

The visitors to the French capital Just
now will doubtless hereafter sing 20 Parigi
o cara" with their hands in their pockets
instead Of on their hearts. 1t is 'dear
Paris" now for the lucklcss foreigner and
the untutored provincial If it ever was.
But nobody expected that it was going to
be cheap place this summer, and our de-
spatches indicate that nobody will be dis
appointed. There is. however, one consola-
tion-namely, that in no other city in the
world can one get the whipped cream Of
existence morning, noon and night, and
hence there is no use in saying that you
will not go there because things arc dear
aud you have to pay for pound Of wax
candles per diem when you only burn an
inch in week. Even the eighty heroes and
heroines who protested against the extor-
ton mt ono hotel had to move to other
hotels, and Paris in 1.-THE aggregate lost
nothing. That is n funny story we are
told about the Exhibition aquarium in
which the fish cannot live. 1t is not very
like the French way of doing things, and ii
the architect is man of ioyalist or Bona

The fault may be with the fish, who are per.

shows that Gregory XVI, with the principles

Peace Prospects.

Evidently some basis of settlement has
been reached between Russia and England,
from which, SO far as yet appears, all the
prospects are favorable for solution OF
the conflicting claims without war. In
London, despite disposition to believe
peace impossible, the impression has forced
its way upon public opinion that the nego-
tiations' have assumed more promising
phase than they have held hitherto. while
in st. Petersburg hopeful views are freely
taken. Itappears that the effect of the recent
negotiation conducted by Count Schou-
valoff has been to clear the way for
the Congress and to determine tho formula
upon which it could proceed with the dis
cussion of the disputed points. General
Ignhticffs opinion is that the Treaty OF San
Stcfano is drawn up in such q manner that
it will lend itself to all possible conces-
sions, which seems to imply that conces-
sions from the positions taken in that treaty
arc the important points in the settlement
that has been made. II the Generals
opinion is maintained by the facts it must
be conceded that o treaty which magnites
splendidly nations demands and lends
itself readily to tho process of their destitu-
ton is masterpiece of diplomacy.

The coaching season this year was opened
yesterday afternoon under exceedingly
brilliant circumstances. Eleven Of tho
twenty drags Of the Coaching Club were in
line when the start took place. Several OF
them were new and hll of them were proba-
bly, the finest equipages of the kind in the
world. The appointments were perfect.
The most critical eye could not have de-
tected the slightest flaw or blemish. Every
thing was in perfect taste; we'll matched
horses tremendously Blended colors-the
display was in fact, the poetry Of

the very best We can produce. The
question has often been asked, What is the
value of exhibitions Of this kind? Those
who make the inquiry generally belong to
that class who do not enjoy anything which
they do not themselves possess. Anything
that is beautiful in the world is valuable.
Displays like that of yesterday, while at
tractive to the eye, become means Of
education. They serve to cultivate and
improve the taste and elevate our standard
of civilization as people. They set inven-
tions at work, awaken ideas and lead up

with the National Rowing Association, and
not being in any way bound by
its rules. The Long Branch association
made its own rules, passed its own judg-
ment as to the qualifications OF those who
entered, and held ON amateur regatta. Any
person who entered was bound to recog-
nize and respect tho right OF the associa-
ton to do all this. If any contestant be-
longed to club or association whose rules
prohibited him from rowing under such
circumstances he would be answerable to
his club or association If he broke those
rules But certainly no club or association
can make it's rules binding on outside par
ties who are not members. The idea Of the
National Association, which is nothing but
combination of clubs just as the Harlem

Pensioning Grant.

Mr.. Blaine is said to believe that tho
chances Of the republican party to carry tho
next Presidential election are good, and to
be eager, therefore, to get General Grant
handsomely pensioned off and out of the
way. As at present reported the Senator
from Maine oscillates between two opinions
on the subject, and may in a few days greatly
regret it, if his present views shall so far
prevail as to become the law. He wants
as man provided for in one contingency,
and to be man on the active list and within
easy call in another contingency; but he
cannot make up his mind toward which
contingency he shall bend his efforts. II
the republican party is to fight desperate
battle next time; if it is to be in SO poor
position before the country that its chance
to elect o President must be regarded az
hopeless, then Mr. Blaine wants General
Grant to be the republican candidate; but
if it is to be otherwise, then Mr.. Blaine
will be terribly unhappy unless Grant is
out of the way by previous provision under
the pension scheme. All this is what the
Washington correspondents say of Mr..
Blaine, and it is evident that it may be
either SANDER or the purest possible trDth.
If the Senator cannot act on the case before
him until he makes up his mind certainly
whether tho republicans are to win next
time he is to be pitied. General Grant once
said in regard to some Presidential antics
in Congress, Blaine is not in any ones
way" which proved to be true but Blaine
cannot say the same Of Grant just now.
That Grant should be- in Blaine's way is
characteristic. It is his hobby to be in
peoples way ; and in ''the lato unpleasant
ness" he was in the way to ON enormous ex-
tent. That is what the country mainly re-
members about him, and because OF that
remembrance the people will be very we'll
satisfied to see the pension project COM
pleted. But if tho people want to put
Grant in the Presidency afterward hjs pos

of the Health Department grown within q
/ few years that complaints made to them by
citizens were totally UNDECIDED until Mr.
Musgrave came to the rescue-until the Re-
corder denounced them from the bench
until the public cutlery and the prospect Of
indictment frightened them into spas
modic fit Of activity. Whenever serious
charge appeared against them in the
press, and some dangerous public
nuisance slike the garbage dumping at
the Harlem flats was exposed, they would
sneeringly designate it newspaper
sensation" and declare their indifference
about thing that would elbow over in q

Building Department evinced similar con-
tempt for public sentiment. 1t is to be
hoped that they will oil now be taught that

was, Suppose I have wronged you; who is
to punish me? The judges are my tools,

slaves. What are you going to do about
it?" The answer came slowly, but it was a
stern and severe one when it did
come. What the people did about
it was seen in prison cell. O felon's garb,
a miserable death in Jail, abandoned
by friends, family and old accomplices.
Official malfeasance will not go unpublished
now any more than in the days Of the old
Ring, and the present indictments will be

An Overloaded Floor and It's vic-

Within few days the people Of Now
York have been shocked by o succession of
calamities that. although the incidents are
varied, present similarity Of conditions
and of results. Several lives have been
lost on the Bowery by tho fall of
one of the girdcrs Of the elevated

sling broke under the stain of about
three tons, and the suspended girdcr fell
with fatal consequences. II was one of
those occurrences that might have been
toreseen when an INFESTED chain was used
for hosting q heavy and unwieldy load.
Tho public recognized it as an nc
ridcnt, and a general hope was ex-
pressed that its occurrence would serve
as warning to tho workmen against risk
ing their lives and those Of the public with
unsuitable apparatus. Then came tho dis
aster on Broadway, by which one man was
killed and several injured. In this case the
cause was clearly discerned to be the ill
judged removal Of the supports of flooring

and the Indifference to the risk they ran,
exhibited by their employers and the pub

Can anything in civilized life be more de-

disgraceful to the police as to the penny
