John Kelly OverthrOWn..

The downfall of John Kelly, Comptroller
of the city of New York, and the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Allen Campbell in his stead was
announced last week This event is but the
natural outcome of the bitter elements in
both parties by which Mayor Cooper was
elected. Such is the view taken by the New
York World, and it is doubtless the correct
one. In 1878 the anti-Tammany Democrats
made up ticket, composed of Democratic
and Republican candidates, This ticket was
put in the field with the understanding that
the heads of the municipal departments
should be selected from each party. John
Kelly was opposed to this union, and has
been fighting his Democratic opponents ever
since. In his downfall he will not meet with
much sympathy from any quarter. AS he
has been nominally, at least, classed with
the Democratic party, he can expect no con-
dolence from the Republican party. More
over, he is charged by the Democrats with
treachery by giving the State to Garfield in
the last Presidential election. He is thus
left to himself, and whether he will be able to
form party for himself or be able to hold
his Tammany forces under control, now that
the spoils of office are no longer his to bestow,
remains to be seen. The worst of the matter
is that he has no one to blame but himself.
His is an example of that vaulting ambition
which o'erleaps itself. Had he been salts
fled with what he already had, he might have
been spared the modification of defeat The
disposition ofsome of the Tammany politi-
clans still to cling TO Mr.. Kelly may go for
what it is worth, but all parties must rejoice
that this great demagogue has been banished
to temporary retirement.

Senators Bayard and Conkling.

The newspapers at present are much en-
livened by correspondence between Senators
Bayard and Conkling, over charges alleged to
have been made by the former in speech at
Dover, Delaware, last October. In that
speech Mr. Bayard took occasion to dwell
upon the abuses of the moiety system as
practised in the New York Custom House
A portion of his remarks, which Mr.. Bayard
claims to be incorrect, appeared in the Phila-
delphia Press. Mr.. Conkling, who seems to
have had more to do with this Custom House
business than he ought, sent Mr.. Bayard a
copy of the report of the Philadelphia Press,
wishing to know whether the language at
tributed to him was accurate or not.
Senator Bayard in reply gives, as nearly as
he can, the outline of what he did say at
Dover, with the authority upon which the
statement rested. Mr.. Conkling, however,
not satisfied, wished categorical answer to
his question. Mr.. Bayard again wrote that
the report was grossly inaccurate :" he be-
lieved maliciously SO.
This was on the 18th OF November. Not
withstanding this on December 18th appear
ed the card of Messrs. Conkling, Arthur,
Davis and Boutwell,, dated November goth, in
which Mr.. Bayard is charged with having
made no retraction or disclaimer.
Now, Mr.. Conkling had this letter of Mr.
Bayard explaining his position and also de-
nying the accuracy Oft the report of the Phila-
delphia Press. Mr.. Conkling has doubtless
not forgotten that the report of the invcsti-
eating committee revealed the fact that he
himself was one of the advisers of the New
York Custom House officials 1t was due to
Mr. Bayard and some others that the expo
sure of corruption was made A sum of
money, amounting in round numbers to
$270,000, was wrongfully eXtorted from
Phelps, Dodge & Co., by Vice-P President elect
Arthur and Company, then in the New York
Custom House.
Mr.. Dodge himself testifes that his firm
paid this money. not because it was rightful-
ly due, but from the influence of terrorism
nent lawyers endeavoring to catch them in
the matter.
Mr.. Bayard submits this correspondence
without comment, as it certainly explains it.
self He has made short work of the Hon
Senator from New York Mr. Conkling
stands convicted of being shameless pre-,
varicator and falsifier, so far as the testimony
in the matter goes. What he will do further
more in the matter remains to be seen. We
wait with anxiety to learn, in the language
of Prince Hal to Falstaff, "What trick, what
device, what startling-hole he can now FIND
out to hide him from this open and apparent
shame"

Ireland.

LELAND appears to be on the brink of Il rev.
olution. The British Cabinet are almost un-
animously in favor of the adoption of cocr-
ccivc measures, and il is feared that the first
movement of the kind will precpitatc a
bloody conflict. Troops have already been
sent from England to the doubtful districts,
and more will follow The Irish are prepar-
ing for desperate resistance. Arms are be-
ing collected and men are being organized in
such a way that the revolt, when it breaks
out, will be general. The power of the Land
League is absolute and extends into public
and private affairs. A dispatch from Dublin
to the London Times says:
ut is hardly correct to say that anarchy
prevails in Ireland, for there is a very distinct
and potent Government which is rapidly su-
perseding the imperial Government, and is
obtaining the ascendancy. 1t rules with an
iron hand and promptitude which enforces
instant obedience. Its code is clear, its Ex-
ecutive resolute, its machinery complete, and
its action uniform. There is q government
de facto and government de jure-the for
mer welding a power which is felt and fear
ed, and the latter exhibiting only pomp, but
iittiO iSahb1 vi PphOis uC iOlIlCl ID u lCT-
ror to well.doers, and the latter no terror to
evil doors. The law ofthe Land League is
becoming the law of the land and, while the
law Of the State is costly and to large ex-
tent suspended, the new law is effectively ad-
ministered cheaply and conveniently
League courts are springing up in various
places, and the people are instructed to have
their disputes decided by such courts and to
go no more to the Sessions The local mag
istrates in the west of Ireland have lately
been surprised to find that no cases are
brought before them except by the police
The people have been for some time advised
20 take this course, but they are now begin
ming to act thereon. As rule, the penalties
which such courts have the power of infict-
ing are regarded with more dread than those
imposed under the statutes. Another func-
ton of the new government, the levying of
taxes, is most effectively fulfilled No rate
assigned by the law is half as promptly paid
ms the tax which the new league imposes
Licenses TO sell at fairs and in markets are
required by the new government, and their
production is enforced by summary process
The only element wanting to constitute the
