LORD LEITRIM'S DEATH.

The death of the Earl of Leitrim was one of
those unhappy affairs resulting from the
oppressive tenantry laws OF Ireland which,
twenty years or more ago. brought about
many such acts of violent resentment as this.
The suffering and crime caused at that time
in Ireland by the cruel exactions of land own
ers forced the emigration to America OF entire

destitute and friendless In innumerable in
stances these expressions provoked the most
violent and bloody retributions against the
authors of them, and finally it became neces-
sary for the government to take the matter
nary equities between landlord and tenant,
as they maintain in other lands, were recog
nized and enforced, and which placed meas
ure OF restraint on the rapacity of the owners
of large estates. Lord Leitrim is said to
have been one of the most rapacious and
brutal of landlords, and for twenty-five years
had been engaged in incessant litigation
with his tenants and the small farmers about
his estates. The following letter from Satur-
days New York Sun will doubtless interest
many OF our Irish readers, some OF whom
will, perhaps, be able to confirm the testi-
mony it bears TO the character of Lord Lei
trim:

Wickedness in Gotham asld tue
Hub.

A recent demonstration in the pull
pit Of the wickedness Of New York,
has stimulated Boston to a kind of pe-
tition in iniquity and the Rev. Hen
ry Morgan has been giving the citizens
there a series Of lectures intended to
prove to their satisfaction that they
are not behind Gotham in sinfulness.
Mr.. Morgan's last lecture wa ON " By
ways of Boston; Midnight at the
Hub Modern Samsons and Delilahs;
Samson among the Mediums" Mr..
Morgan told Boston that its wicked
ness was owing to the laxness of the
police, the silence Of the press and
the pulpit, and the self-indulgence of
man. 1t is questionable whether this
one-sided way of looking at things is
desirable it certainly is notcheering:
while perhaps it is open to the charge
Of exaggeration, and of making mat
tiers worse than they really are, for the
sake Of sensational effect. An equal
ly elaborate summary Of the virtues,
the good deeds, the charities, public
and private, Of Boston or New York,
might prove that the picture has
another side, equally true, though the
colors might not be so startling.

A DESPERATE KILLED
BY a Citizen Whose Life he Threatened
.--AnOther Member of the Mack
Williams Gang Put Out
of the Way.

About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Joe Deviney, who lives at the Point ON
the Cuba road, seven miles north Of this
city, shot and killed John Harrell, who
was known there as a boon companion Of
the late Mack Williams. HarreIl yester-
day afternoon rode up TO Deviney's house
and called him. When the latter came
out, Harrell presented a cooked pistol and
said; 81 have a death warrant for you
and your brother. | want you to 60 with
me over to Mrs. Smiths Deviney said
he had done nothing to be ashamed Of and
would 60 with Harrell if the latter would
wait until he went into the house for
his hat. Harrell consented to this,
and Deviney, Upon gaining his lib
erty, seized q double-barrel shotgun
When Deviney cam out Of the house he
saw Harrell still holding the pistol as If
ready TO commit violence. Thereupon
Devinoy fired both barrels Of the gun at
Harrell, who uttered a groan and fell dead
from his horse. Realizing that he had
killed Harrell, he at once surrendered to
Justice j. w. Alexander, and the latter
proceeded to hold IN inquest on the life
less body. The jury, after a careful IN
quiry, returned a verdict Of iustifiable
homicide. Only yesterday Harrell was
heard to say that he would kill Deviney
and his brother. Harrell belonged to the
Mack Williams gang, which dehed law
and murdered so many helpless negroes.
Mack Williams was at last arrested and
put in Jail, where he died of yellow fever
durinp the late endemic.

THE LAWRENCE DUEL.-A correspond mt of

not the cause OF that duel The impertiHent
Secretary Of 4egation, at a dinner table of
gentlemen, made some disparaging remarks in
regard TO the want Of refinement In A uericaB
ladies in general, which Lawrence took up on
the Spet and denounced. The challenge CAM
from Cusere on the following morning. Aft
the duel Bismarck recalled his secTe ary, and
Seward dismissed Lawrence from his position
as minister 10 one OF the petty South AmrTican
republics. His wife worked hard TO have him
reinstated but Seward positively refused.
