What a Valid Oath Is.

Cornelius O'Reilly, the Albany IN
dertaker, has been granted a new
trial by the Court of Appeals. He
was convicted of perjury in swearing
to fraudulent bill which he presented
to the Board of Supervisors. The de-
tense was that be did not swear to the
bill; that be only affixed his signature
to the jurat and that a notary did the
same. The Court on trial held that
that was sufficient and valid oath, and
so charged the jury. Counsel for the
prisoner excepted. and the case went
to the Court of Appeals, which sus-
tains the position OF the prisoners
counsel. Judge Finch writes the
opinion. and in conclusion be says
that to make a valid oath for the fall
sity of which perjury will lie. must
be in some form in the presence of
an officer authorized to administer it.
an equivocal and present act by
which the affaut consciously takes
upon himself the obligation of al
oath. The delivery in this case of the
signed affidavit to the officer was not
such an act. and was not made so by
the intention of one party or the sup.
position of the other. For these
reasons the judgment should be re.
versed and a lew trial granted.

London, 9.-At the lord mayors

ing TO a toast, Her Majesty'S Min
isters," said: / can discern signs of
improvement of Ireland. I believe
the people of England are unani-
mously convinced that it was neces-
sary to take strong measures
in Ireland in defense of pub
lie law and private liberty.
One question, at least, has been de-
cided. The people are determined
to make full trial of the land
act. [ hold in my shand very signi-
6cant proof of the treatment to
which the Irish have been subjected
by their so called friends. 1t is a
notice proceeding from a high au-
thority stating that any body pay
Ing rent before the suspects are re-
leased, without the consent of the
Land League will be boycotted.
| cannot yet state that throughout
Ireland contracts into which ten
ants have entered, are punctually
performed; yet they are largely
and increasingly performed. Those
who decline their performance are
generally those who are well able to
fulfil their engagements. l can
safely say that the Irish will make
use of the land act which will be
impartially administered.
Regarding foreign affairs, Glad
stone said: Lord Granville will be
able to draw a picture less charged
with anxious and critical features
than that of year ago. Afghanis-
istan, instead of being broken into
fragments, is now under a single
ruler. We are happy to think that
peace reigns in South Africa.

Washington Correspondence N Y. T. ibune
The system of paying Marshals. their
deputies and United States District At.
torneys needs revision. These officials
are recompensed for their services Nv
fees, and they, together with the United
States Commissioners, form a consider
able army, whose interest il is to arrest
as many persons as possible regardless of
the probability of conviction. There is
little doubt that in the aggregate the fee
system is productive of much hardship
and injustice The Internal Revenue
laws are so intricate, and cover so MANY
different branches of industry, that
technical breaches of the law are
often made by persons who are innocent
of an unlawful intention. The fee is
the same for the officer, whether the al
legged offender be proved guilty or not.
While the great majority of these officers
are entirely above suspicion, it is certain.
ly known that many trivial cases are in
stituted which are never brought to trial
A very imperfect system of conveying
information regarding internal revenue
to the authorities in Washington now ex.
lists. District Attorneys make formal re-
ports OF the preliminary steps in each
case; but nothing is thereafter heard of
the matter until the docket of the courts
are received. A long interval lies be.
tween these two events, and many cases
drop out of sight entirely during this in
terval.
Plans are now under consideration by
which full reports snail be made to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue in
every case of alleged violation of internal
revenue laws, covering the entire case.
In the absence of a better system this
will probably be check upon officials
who were inspired, by the hope of fees,
to make arrests of persons whom it is
never expected to convict of breach of
the laws.
