Lord lAcitrin', who has just been AS
snssinatcd In Ireland, will be no loss 10
his country. lie was n most contempti-
bic man and harsh landlord. Many
years ago his name was struck Off tho
list Of Deputy l.icutenants and MaXis-
tratcs for II gross and unprOvOked In
suit to the then Lord Lieutenant, the
late Earl Of Carlisle, and since then
his society has becn more than ever
summed by gentlemen. Lord Lett
rims unlOpularlty among his tenants
was so great that his life has long been
In jeopardy, and 1t was his custom al-
ways to bc attended by two policemen,
fully armed, who sat 80 close to him
that he could not he injured without
their being injured too. At length,
however, he seems to have taken cour-
ago to so out attended merely by men
in his employ, to whom the ~ ssassins
extended no consideration. NO Irish
Peer has fallen by IL murder, RS hand
since Lord Norbury was shot In his
grounds at Durrow in 1889. That no
blelnan was deeply regretted, but with
Lord Leitrim 1t will be otherwise.

ANOTHER THIEF TURNED LOOSE.

The result Of the fArclcAl trial of
Mortimer Carr Is another sample of the
beauties Of our jury System. Every
day murdcrers, thieves and forYers
escape punishment, either through the
negligence or incompetency Of the
prosecuting attorneys, the corruption
Of the jury, the vagnrios Of the Court,
or some radical defect in tho law. We
see no use In bearing the expense of
criminal courts In this city, or paying
attorney generals aud district attorneys
for simply playing the roles Of officers
Of the law.
Within tho last four weeks no less
than five criminals, whose guilt was
sss clear as tho noOu-tlay SUI, have
been set ut large aud given to under
stnnd that they can continue In the
pursuit Of their nefnrious avOcAtions
with i,npunity.
To what cause Is this to be attribute
cd? Is It Y part Of tho same s.baryaiu''
| made In tho interest OF the Nichols
Government, which secured the release
OF Anderson? Does the compact cover
every Radical thief In the State ? It
would seem sd from appearances. Ex-
Judge Dibble, ex-Auditor johnson and
ex-Spcaker Carr, have thus far prOfiteti
hugely by the installation Of the "peo-
ple's government" which was secured,
we are told and believe, by an Infamous
'Sbarxain." In South Carolina, under
II Governor like Wade Hampton, all
such miscreants ns arc allowed to escap.,
here arc sent to the lsenitentiary aud
made to pay the penalty of their crimes.
There was no ''bargatn" with the
statesmen nnd political leaders Of the
Palmetto State. They gained their
victory and detractetl nothing from
Its grandeur by compromises with,
or concessions to their vanqulshed
foes.
Much of the glory Of the political
redemption 81 Louisiana has beee,s
tarnishetl by tho disxraceful conditions
unnecessarily attached to II and the
pages OF our history, ns II State, will
be blotted by the record Of u huniliat-
Ing and tllshonorable agreement by
| which felony was to be compounded
and criminals declared innocent.
The only viudicatiOn Of tho States
honor now lies In an emphatic repu-
diation OF every man directly or indl-
rectly connected with tho barter OF
Louisianu's fair name. The time IL
not distant when many of those who
played prominent part in tho late
surrender will be coming before the
people as applicants for political Mvors.
Then their recreancy and short-coin-
ings viii be remembered, and then
they will be made to know that they
cannot trifle with or barter away the
sacred rights ofn free and honorable
pcople.-N. q. Deiku.
