IRISH NAIL NEWS.
puhlin Nation. March 30.

What ia described and condemned 10 all
the British and West British journals bnt
one as a fierce outbreak of obstruction
marked the greater part Of the sittings OF
the House of Commons on Monday and
Tuesday. Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. O,Donnell,
Mr. O'Connor Power, Mr.. Bigger, aud
some other Irish members took advantage
of the Mutiny Bill being in committee TO
endeavor to effect some amendment in the
bar barous provisions relating to the pun
ishment of military ofences. They stuck
to their work with such pertinacity that at
the end of the second days' combat very
little progress had been made with .
measure wbi ch the Government expected
to pass without debate. Threats and
abuse, of course, were lavished on them by
the Minister of War, but condemnation
did not come from the Government bench
es only. Poor Mr.. French of Roscommon,
the opponent despite the wishes of his
jury reform, let his eloquent tongue wag
for the frat time this seasion, to say that
Messre. Parnell, O'Donnell, and O'Connor
Power were not representatives of Irish
feeling! We have hinted that one British
journal of importance has not joined in
the howl against Construction" That
journal Ia no other than the Times, which
has plainly declared that if the obstruc
tives are to be blamed, it must be for doing
their duty
Mr.. Keogb's escapade at Derry formed
the subject of brief but animated dis
cusson in the House of Commons Tuesday
night. In answer to Mr. Sullivan's re-
quest for correct report of the Derry
address, Mr.. Lowther read letter from
the panegyrist of the Orangemen, in which
that "highly valHed servant of her Males
ty" attempted to explain away his dispar
aging and contemptuous reference to st
Patlick's Day by saying, in face of his
pu blished words, that he had alluded to
| something quito different The House
grasped at and cheered the expression OF
this "happy thought" but Mr. Sullivan
| was equal to the occasion. He moved the
| adjournment of the Houee in order to be a,
| liberty to say that the administrator OF
Justice had been guilty of an equivocation
and an evasion, and Mr. O'Connor Power
followed up this pungent criticism by de.
nouncing Mr. Keosh as "a political and re
| ligious fire brand" and reminding the
House that that was not the first time
attention was called In Parliament to biz
proceedings. Sir Robert Peel, who seems
to have been the chief bottle holder fol
the Judge on this occasion, brought the
incident to termination by saying thai
his friend was ready to meet any charge
that might be made against him. He will
it appears, have an early opportunity q
making good his words. Mr.. Sullivan or
Tuesday night paved tue way for q rerswa
of the contest by asking for copies of bott

THE Republican City Council caucus
Thursday night agreed to reject Mr..
Morse for City Civil Engineer, solely be.
cause three years ago he was elected by
Democratic City Council, and not beN
cause of any dishonesty or incompetency
The city will pay dearly for the expert
ment of substituting Mr.. Ransom for
Mr.. Morse. We call the attention of
the Democratic members of the Legislar
ture to the fact that the Republicans of
this city hesitate at nothing in political
sense. While they give the bounce"
to every man who was ever suspicioned
of being in sympathy with Democrats,
The Democrats of the Legislature allow
the Republican ring to perpetrate every
injustice without giving to their Demo-
cratic brethren in this city law that VIII

the city from the arrogance of the ring.

Canton, kind souls, elect three Repubs

the DEMOCRAT bill, for printing the or.

of two Republicans and one Democrat,

the Republicans, which was Tom Sax

APAssIONIsTs FUNERAL.

The funeral of Rev. John Andrew
Heating, known as Father Basil.th first
Passionist priest who has died in the
United States since the introduction of
the Order here twenty-five years ago,
took place yesterday at the Monastery in
West Hoboken. Bishop Corrigan and
several priests from New Jersey, New
York and Brooklyn were present. Long
before nine clock, the hour appointed
for the mortuary service, the edifce was
crowded. The body Of the dead priest
rested on two pine boards on the floor in
the centre aisle of the church, and was
attired simply in the habit of the Order,
with black stole. The head rested on
three bricks, land the hands clasped a cru,
ciix, which at the close of the ceremo.
nies was removed and laid on the breast.
No such spectacle was ever before wit.
messed In this country. Not only was
there no coffin, but the rules of the Or.
der forbade even the painting ofthe pine
boards on which the body rested. The
feet were naked. In this manner the re-
mains were exposed to view since We'd
nesday night, and the church was visited
by fully twenty thousand people.
The office for fhe dead was chanted
yesterday morning, after which solemn
requiem mass was celebrated, Father
John being celebrant, Father Joseph, of
Dunkirk, deacon; Father Stephen sub.
deacon and Father Thomas master of
ceremonies. In accordance with the rigid
rules of the Passionist Order there was
no panegyric of the dead priest. At a
signal from the Superior, Father Nilus,
the priests and lay brothers filed into the
centre aisle, and the canticle of Zachary,
"Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel" was
chanted by the clergy. Four lay broth>
ers raised the body with billets of wood
laid under the pine planks. The body
was borne through the main aisle outside
the church and into the basement, the
large congregation pressing closely be-
hind. AT the entrance to the vault the
body was laid down, and Bishop Corrigan
pronounced the absolution. Then fol-
lowed scene which will not soon be fors
gotten. Father Bonaventure, who had
built the brick easement nine feet in
length by four feet in width and three
feet in height, stopped to raise the body,
when the aged father and mother ofFath.

about sixteen relatives, and last of all,
the confessor and bosom friend of the
deceased, Father Joseph, of Dunkirk.
Both clergy and laity were deeply affect

box and pushed into the vault. Fifteen

"CAxAI RrNe."- unprincipled
Cincinnati Commercial two or three years
ago kept charging corruption and fraud
on the "Canal Ring" and called upon
the General Assembly. A committee Of
investigation was appointed, and at work
they went. They summoned Mr.. Hal
stead of the Commercial before them, put
him under oath, and the pitiful sCavenger
knew nothing. Other witnesses were
examined, but nothing was found to sus-
tain the charges. The investigation cost
the State some $4,000. A similar inves.
tigation was had some five or six years
ago with the same result. And yet, ocCa-
sionally some pitiful scavenger sheet, ed
tied by blockhead or knaye, keeps up
the cry of "Canal Ring"

How Lover Who Shot IIIa Rival Dead CamO to be
''f Captured.
fDallaa Hernld1


Last night the Sheriff Of Dodge CounN
ty, Nebraska, passed up the Texas Gems
tral Road having in charge man named
Marcus Withersau, accused OF murder.
Withersau was paying court to a young
lady named Bradley, and who resided in
the town of Fremont, Neb., and was en-.
gagged to be married to her, when stran>
ger named Joel Lauridge came to the
town. Lauridge succeeded in short
time in claiming good part ofthe young
lady's attention, This greatly displeas-
ed Withersau, who is Of very jealous
temperament, and he was not slow in
giving his apparent rival many eviden-
ces Of his iil>will. openly insulting him
whenever an opportunity was afforded.
Yet young Lauridge, being received
with favor by the young lady, continued
to visit her. The engagement between
Withersau and his affianced was unbroN
ken, however, and the wedding day had
been fixed upon.
One evening Withersau, while on his
way to the town to visit his affianced,
met her IN company with Laurldge out
riding, and, seized with fit of jealousy,
he galloped up to them and shot Lau-
ridge, killing him almost instantly, He
fled the country, and it was thought that
he had gone back to Canada, where he
had once lived. He wore on his hand
seal ring of the young lady, which was
mounted by gold cross and it was this
that led to his capture. A young man
named Swazey, cousin ofMiss Bradley,
had enlisted in the United States army,
and was ordered, along with his compa-
ny, to Fort Duncan, on the Rio Grande.
He had never seen Withersau, but had
frequently heard his cousin describe the
ring belonging to her, which Withersau
wore when he killed Lauridge. One day
he saw a strange man at the fort wearing
the identical ring, but on inquiring the
strangers name he gave it as Bill Poin-
dexter. The soldier wrote to the authors
tiles of Fremont, giving description of
the man and ring, and the Sheriff, being
satisfied that the wearer of the ring was
Withersau, came after and captured
him

riiEl IIARTFORD TRUsTEEs AND
OUR CITY COUNCILS

OUR CITY COUNCILS
Last weeks DEMOCRAT stated that our
City Council had elected Joseph Weaver,
John Krause and George schlebaugh for
two, four and six years respectively, as
Trustees of the Hartford property left
for the poor of Canton. Not one Of the
three gentlemen is Democrat, and they
are in no sense representative men OF
Canton, neither politically, nor in busi-
ness point of view. One Of them, in
fact, is too narrow of view, according to
our experience, to do justice to Demo.
crat. Under these circumstances, 1t will
be seen that our City Council have acted
foolish, to say the least. tits tantamount
to eaying,-"You poor, ignorant Demo-
Gratis have nobody to I'll 80 responsible a
position" 1t @as supposed We had a
Democratic City Council, 8 2, but it
seems to have been mistake. At least
they do not treat Democrats with decent
consideration, while they do our polit-
ical opponents. We had noticed CROP
pings out of the same spirit prior to this;
but this is so manifest and unmistaka'
BILE, that no Democratic backbone citizen
of Canton can fail to see the slight-not
to say the insult. Even sensible Repub-
licans can we'll afford to laugh at such
work, and look with still greater con-
tempt on our City Council. Let not our
friends of the Council suppose they get
credit among sensible people for such
conduct. We used to think the gentle
men composing our City Council were
children of larger growth than this.

WE have no hesitation in stating our
opinion, that Governor Bishop has made
a serious mistake in appointing Col. ].
D. Porter as State Mine Inspector. If
Mr.. Roy, who was the choice of the mis-
ners, had to be removed, the great mass
of the party in this section of the State,
and in the mining regions, would have
preferred Mr.. Osborne, of Trumbull
county, a practical man, and a good
Democrat. Perhaps Porter is good
man, but we know either of the two, Os>
borne or Roy, are better men for the po-
sition, Plain Dealer.
We concur most decidedly with the
Plain Dealer. We know nothing of
Mr.. Roy's successor but Mr.. R. being
largely the choice Of the miners here>
abouts, and having filled the office well,
we had hoped he would be continued.

4 BRIDE HANGS HERsEIF

A daughter of Frank P. Miller, whose
parents reside in the southwestern part
Of Douglass county, No., was married on
last Thursday evening to a man named
Simmons, and told her husband that che
would 60 over TO her mothers, a short
distanceaway, and get some clothing she
had left there. After the allotted time
for her return, she not appearing, fears
were entertained that something wasnot
right, and search was made. She was
found next morning suspended by a
plough line to a limb Of tree not far
distant from one of the neighbors, who
that morning had missed plow line.--

The death of Tweed settles his earthly
troubles. He was charaCter-of no ordi-
nary type. He was not shilly-shally
man, but man Of positive points who
operated on a large scale. He had streaks
of generosity that made him popular,
and while he stole his millions, he gave
literally to the poor. Tweed was no
worse than the Cameron rings in Penn
sylVania, in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
The determination with which he and
his confreres were pursued, and Tweed's
long imprisonment, has made him the
central figure.

NOTHING has been offered against
Mr.. Montgomery Blair's plan of pro-
ceeding to investigate and reopen the
Presidential question, than to sneer at it.
A sneer is no argument, and is usually
forthcoming where no argument is pos
sible. If there is any good argument
against it let us have it. When by fraud
man takes an office in this land, there
must be some law to reach him, other.
wise our system is failure. The Presi>
dency is no more sacred than any other
position, and is amenable to righteous
law. A large majority of the American
people are convinced that Mr.. Hayes
was not elected, and that he has no right
to occupy the place. Are we to be en-
slaved thus easily? If set Of villains
manage to count in a man as President
who was never elected, can the fraud
not be investigated by some competent
authority? The States are parties to
this contract of Union, and Maryland, a
sovereign State, says she has been de-
frauded, and demands hearing. Is
there no tribunal to hear and decide !?
Is our system so utterly destitute of re.
medal power? We do not believe it.

Hon. MONTGOMERY BLAIR deserves the
thanks Of all good citizens for his labors
in the direction Of relieving the Presi-
dency of a fraud. Mr.. Hayes was not
elected, and Mr.. Tilden was and in this
country the will of the people fairly ex-
pressed, as in this case, is the paramount
decree. This decree no fraud nor dec.

rightfully set aside. Mr.. Blair declares
