HE SQUIRRELS.

We'glve space this morning to violent
TRADE from c. NJ. Mac Carthy. He over
steps the bounds of decency, his produc-
ton being combination of falsehood
and blackguardism, and therefore it has
no claim upon our columns. But, with
an accommodating spirit, which allows a
man to show his. characteristics, the
GLOBE valves the point of common cour-
tesy and extends him the necessary rope
for self execution.
The GLOBE noted the shameful bargain
made between Mac Carthy and General
Sanborn, and blaekguardism will not pre-
vent us continuing the service. Neither
can this political traitor escape by claim
ing that the Land league is not response
BILE for his acts. The GLOBE never made the
charge that the Land league,as an organ
ization, had any responsibility in the mat
ter We called the attention of the
league to the disreputable use being
made of their noble charity by their
president, in order to secure a. position
for himself. That charge we reiterate
and repeat in spite of his BLACKBOARD de-
mails.
There is no lodging. The GLOBE dis
tinctly acquitted the Land league of any
completely or responsibility in the matter,
and Mr. MacCarthy's loud-mouthed as
sumption that there are charges against
the league to be proven or with
drawn, are simply fustian to d.
vert attention from the real culpri. The
Land league is composed of honorable
men and therefore it is absolutely i'm
possible for that organization to be guilty
of the dishonorable acts for which the
GLOBE has criticised Mr.. MacCarthy.
With the bravery of sheep, and the cpl
thets of fish woman, he demands proof
that the land league is guilty. The cul-
prit is Mr.. MacCarthy, not the land
league. The charge is that
he prostituted his position as presi-
dent of the league to make an al
lance with Gen. Sanborn the Republican
candidate for city attorney, whereby he,
being a professed Democrat, was to trans
fer votes to Gen. S., and receive therefor
the clerkship in the city attorneys office.
Ho was enabled to make this alliance not
as G. M. MacCarthy, individually, but
because he was at the head
of charitable institution and
imagined that his lions skin would so
conceal the ears of the animal beneath as
to enable him to transfer the votes of the
organization at will. In this he was
terribly mistaken. The organization of
which he is president would neither en-
dorse or recognize any such nefarious
work 1t simply remains with the land
league to relieve itself of the man who
has sought to bring it into disrepute
and prostitute its benevolent purpose to
advance political traitor.
The GLOBE, having made no charges
against the land league, has nothing to
withdraw We have simply exposed the
dlsreputable course of the president Of
the league, and leave that organization
to apply its own remedy. The charges
which the GLOBE has made against
Mr.. MacCarthy are hereby reiterated
instead of withdrawn He must not at
tempt to dodge behind the organization
which he has shamefully misused. The
acts of G. NJ Mac Carthy as an individual
are too infinitesimal to warrant even the
slightest notice. His position as presi-
dent of the Land league is all
that makes him worthy of notice, and it
was to enable that worthy organization
to relieve itself from the disrepute Of it's
President that the GLOBE has made this
exposure.
