A WONDERFUL MAN WITHOUT
LIMBS.

NJ. Kavanagh, the Irish member of
Parliament, whose lack of arms and legs
is accompanied by u plentiful supply Of
brains, had in his youth very sorrow
fnl life. After tho early death Of his
father and mother, he was under the
control of his two elder brothers, who,
mortified by the strange dcformity, arc
said to have secluded him in tho coun-
try from the sight of mankind. The
boy, full of intellectual zcnl and manly
spirit, would not allow his mind to rest
or grow morbid; and, when after several
years, his brothers died, leaving u very
large estate to his guidance, he emerged
from his library q rarely cultivated and
brilliant man, with u brain and will so
trained that it was u very easy matter
for him to grasp practical life and af-
fairs. So delightful are Mr.. kavanagh's
intellectual and spiritual graccs that he
won for his wife u very beautiful and
charming woman. His children are all
bright and handsome, and he is greatly
beloved both by them and his tcnantry.
In spite Of his bodily misfortune Mr..
kavanagh is noted Nin'rod, riding
after hounds---in u saddle which he him
self inventcd-witl the greatest energy
and daring.

THE INDIAN DISCUSSION.

The discussion in the Senate On Wednesday
upon the Ute Ratification bill brought out
strongly the absurd position which our Gov
eminent forces itself into by refusing to recog-
nize the Indian as man who can be punished
by law. Mr.. Kirkwood moved to amend Secre-
tary Schurz's agreement land carried his amend
ment) by refusing to pay the White River Utes
the money which has been due them for six
years, until they had surrendered the murderers
of Agent Meeker. Mr.. Whyte very pertinently
remarked that he saw no good in insisting upon
this surrender, as there was no law, either State
or Federal, by which these murderers can be
punished when taken. This is literally the fact
The British Government from the first gave
civil rights and the protection of the courts to
its savage subjects in Canada. An Indian on
the other side of the st. Lawrence, if he buys
patch of ground and builds his hut, owns them
like any other man if white man steals his
horse or crops or assaults him, the courts are
open to him for redress; IL he, on the other
hand, is thiee or amurderer, he goes to Jail or
is hanged. There is the simple key to the whole
riddle. The Indian feels that he stands on the
same plane as all other men the intangible,
irresistible force of the law holds him In on
every side. In consequence there are neither
massacres nor instructions nor starving tribes
in Canada.
The contrast of the condition of these Indians
and our Swards" ia attracting comment in
every civilized country in Europe. Outsiders
can see, if we do not, where the mistake has
been. The United States has expended twenty
times the amount of care and money upon the
red men in her borders that England has given
to them in Canada. We have poured out mill
ions freely as water to feed them, to teach and
civilize them, knowing all the while that the
greater part Of these millions were going into
the hands of agents, traders and commissioners
whose interest it was TO keep them savage and
ignorant. We made of the Indian a thing
which was neither fish, flesh nor human; sub
ject to no law, entitled to not SINGLE legal right
of manhood. United States officers testify that
when the Indians horses have been stolen, the
only remedy they could oifer was to tell them
to go and steal them back again. Small tracts
of land were given In severalty in 1851 to GER
tain POttawatomies as it is now proposed to
give to the Utes; white men went into court |
them to be dead, and took posses |
siOn OF the property. When the men actually |
appeared alive in court they, not being aper-
sons" could not disprOve the fact of their own |
deaths. This seems as absurd phase as cruelty

question, Suppose the Ute murderers arrested,

what is the Government going to do With them !
There is no law by which they can be brought
into court, tried and hanged In the shade OF
distant reservations, the agent, telegram or
two to Washington and the friendly aid OF a
soldier or two from neighboring fort, suffice
to take vicious OF troublesome Indian out OF
the way But the Government can hardly pro-
pose formally to impose the Office OF execu-
toner of the Meeker murderers on the Army.
1t has had enough unherOic business imposed
upon 1t during the last few years, in the way OF
massacring starving men, women and babies
among the Cheyennes and Modocs Let these
cut-throats and outragers of women be made
amenable to the law, and let the law seize and
punish them.

QUESTION OF AGENCY.

Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt has written an am1able
letter to the repudiated and repudiating Finley,
commencing that gentleman for the services
which he rendered to the Democratic National
Committee, in the most confidential" capacity,
in 1876, and confirming his statement that he
did not pretend to represent Mr.. Tilden in the
recent proposals to Congressman Springer. Mr.
Hewitt thinks that Finley could not have been
the agent of Tilden, because he was plainly not
in possession Of Mr.. Tildens views. A political
agent, and especially confidential political
agent, must be aware of the plans, sentiments,
policy and so on, of his principal. Mr.. Finley
knew what the National Committee wanted in
1876; and if he does not know what Mr.. Til
den wants in 1880, it is plain that he cannot be
Mr.. Tilden's representative.
This is reasonable but Mr.. Hewitt does not
go far enough. Mr.. Finley appears to have
represented somebody besides DOnnelly when he
wrote his letter to Mr.. Springer. He says, in
the most positive terms, that the question at
issue is much more important than q mere
contest over seat in Congress that 1t is likely
to affect the decision of the Presidential cleo
ton and that he still holds the closest and
"most confidential relations to those who are
personally interested in it. He implies more
over that he speaks in behalf of our friends
Ain New-YOrlI." This is a claim to represent
somebody. Mr.. Hewitt says that Mr.. 1iden is
not the person referred to. Then who is 2
The National Committee Did Mr. Finley
allude to that body when he said that he was
still in the closest and most confidential Tela-
tons with those most to be affected by the Cap
ture of the Minnesota delegation9 Mr.. Hewitt
testifies that he represented the Committee in
1876, and "never abused the confidence re-
posed in him; and when Finley writes to Mr..
Springer that he is still in the closest and most
confidential relations" ETC., Mr. Hewitt steps
forward with friendly letter of recommends
ton.
But there Is another aspect Of the case. If
an agent must be supposed to know the views
of his principal as Mr.. Hewitt remarks, then of
course the agents who went around trying to
buy electors and canvassinR boards in 1876 must
have represented the views of their principal;
and the same damaging and vexatiOus question
comes up again, Who was the principal of Weed,
Woolley and PeltOn7 The Democratic party
have declared that it was not Mr. Tilden, just as
Mr. Hewitt has declared that Mr.. Tilden is not
now the principal of Mr.. Finley. IL the respOn-

Our London correspondent sums mp in a mas
terly way the results of the English elections
The Liberal majority over ali is now estimated
at forty. The gains of the Home Rulers have
been exaggerated in the earlier dispatches, and
Mr.. Parnells ascendancy over the Irish delega-
ton may not be so complete as we had supposed
it would be from his own signal success in
Cork. The decentralization of the Conservatives
passeth knowledge. Their defeat has become
utter rout. Some of the giddiest of the Jingoes
are chatterlng about Russian gold, and even
the old Tories are garrulous in their explana-
tons of the unexpected result. The Conserva-
tive reverse is due primarily to dissatisfaction
with Lord Beaconsfeld's policy, but the heavy
gains of the Liberals in the Northern shires and
counties generally must be ascribed to special
causes, such as agricultural depression and an
uprising of the farmers against the landlord
class. Mr.. Smalley telegraphs that Mr.. Glad
stone scouts the idea of taking subordinate
place in the Ministry, but is perfectly willing to
support the incoming Administration as an in
dependent member on the floor. The rank and
file of the party recognize In him the command
ing genius Of this political revolution, and are
anxious to have him resume the leadership III
name as well as in fact. Lord Harrington ranks
second in popularity, inasmuch as Lord Gran
vile cannot lead the majority in the Commons.
