An exhibition of Irish manufactures is to he
held in Dublin, provided enough manufacturers
can be found with anything to exhibit The
idea is to set forth the inducements to trade
and manufacturing in Ireland before capitalists
in SO pleasing light that they shall hasten
to embark in them, by which means the labor
problem viii be finally solved and, with gen
eral and returning prosperity, all msurrecton-
airy spirit laid to rest The plan is one of
those palliative temporizng measures always
thrown by conservatives into the breach of n
political disruption like the present ana likely
to prove more efficient than others of its
kind.
A chapter on the manufactures of Ireland
would be as brief as the famous one upon her
snakes. There are none. The linen mills are
principally owned by foreign capitalists and
worked by Scotch and Scotch Irish operatives
This is not the class whom the present
movement IL designed to appease There has
been neither famine nor revolt among the sober
thrifty Protestant North of Ireland folk. The
manufactures of poplin which were Ireland's
boast sixty years ago have almost ceased alto
gcthcr In 1879 not more than three hundred
hands were employed in this industry. In vain
did the good Lady Lieutenant array herself in
the peculiarly Irish fabric; the Irish themselves
would neither wear, buy nor make it. AS an
instance of the fatal lethargy which has fallen
on all industries III the island take the fact that
her annual output OF coal is under 80, 600 tons.
while 100000 tons are imported from Eng
land and Wales; and this while the great hi
luminous coal mines north of Dublin. the
Ignite in Antrim and the glance strata in
the southern counties are lying almost un-
touched. What inducemcnt il offered to the
capitalist to invest his money in manufactures
in the existing state of affairs The cotton
mills in England which closed last week are
not calculated to reasSure him. If Manchester
men cannot sustain an already existing trade,
how shall the Irish capitalist hope to build
one up under the same conditions

what may suppose to be the native or at
least the native official view of the annexation
question, and also for its revelations of serious
friction in the workings of governmental
machinery upon the islands in relation to the
treaty-making power which it is feared the
King may exercise without the assent of the
Legislative Assembly, to the detriment of the
independence of the country.
There is one important fact essential to a full
comprehension of the Hawaiian situation which
is omitted from this little treatise The native
element is fast dying out upon the islands, and
the question of population to till the ground
and pay taxes has become so important that the
King has list been roaming about the world
looking for people willing to go to his domin-
ions and become his subjects. 1t is reported
that he regards the Portuguese peasantry with
most favor and hopes to induce u few thousands
of them to emgrate. If the islands keep their
independence and go on in the way they have
been going of late, they will soon present the
curious spectacle of n country chiefly populated
by mixed and di,cordant multitude of
laborers drawn from the lowest classes of
Europe and Asia, and ruled by handful of in
telligent foreigners and few lingering speci-
mems OF native race so deficient in vitality

commerce with Asia, the East Indies and Aus
tralla. We do not covet them but we could
not consent to their transfer to any European

for them by making a treaty which is greatly to
the advantage of their industries. Such a thing
as forcble annexation is not thought of in this
country. If the time should come, however,
When the Hawaians should manifest an ear
nest desire to become part of the American
Republic, with which their business interests
are now closely united, the question might be
considered here without regard to the objections

DEGREES or HTRDER

A dramatic incident IN a Troy courtroom iIlus-
tratcs topic worth understanding by those inter-
cstcd III the criminal reports. King and Hamilton
two conycts i'll Danuemora prison, quarrelled, soon
after the shooting of President Garfield over the
fitness of Vice-Presdent Arthur to succeed to the
Presidency. King became 40 much excited tbat
when at length Hamilton made some strong re-
marks adverse to the Vice-Presdent, King struck
him upon the head with an axe and then struc<
a second blow. Hamilton was killed on the spot
King was brought To trial for the murder About
an hour and half only suliiced for the testimony
and arguments and the jury then retired to del her
ate. They were absent considerable time and nj
length returned and asked the Judge To give exnon
atious of the difference between the first and acc
ond degrees of murder This evinccd of course that
there were members OF the jury inclined to pro-
nonnce the killing murder in the second degree
only. The punishment of the first egree of murder
death: of the second degree imprisonment for life
Now, the sentence under which King WIS olreod,,
imprisoned was to imprisonment for life for n pre-
vous murder. Therefore, "a verdict of ouiltv of
murder in the second degree would have been of
slight Importance to him; it cond, Mt most, only
have destroyed sach chance as he might have of re-
ceiVns pardon from his first sentence AS the
judge was beginning to answer tho ques ion of the
jury the prisoner started to his feet and nternosod
this extraordinary protest.

The indse, natural enough, then told the iurv
thai after what the prisoner had said there was no
necessity for his explaining the distinction of de-
grees. The jury retired again. hut soon returned
bringing the verdict of guilty of murder in the trst
degree and the prisoner sentenced TO be hapged
on the 4th of November next.

the markets give promise of an Immediate re-
vival of exports.
The most unfavorable symptom is the STOP
page OF cotton mills in England, in order to
break up the ring of spectators who have
been artifcially advancing the price of cot
ton. In this market, the price was pushed
up to 1924 cents for middling upands
on Friday the 9th, but fell to IL cents
on Saturday last the sales for ex-
port having been only 1,513 bales in seven
business days. From all the ports, the exports
last week were only 29.515 bales, against
51,726 bales for the corresponding week last
year. In petroleum, also, active speculation
has checked the exports, which fell off over 30
per cent last week. The reported collapse of
the speculative clique would he of decided pub
lie benefit. In spite of the reported closing of
the pool in wheat, the prices of grain have
been strongly sustained, and the exports have
been small. For eight weeks ending Septem-
Der IA, the decrease in exports of wheat, in
comparison with the corresponding weeks last
year, was nearly 80 per cent, and of corn
about 80 per cent. Stocks are accommodating,
and there is some fear of grain blockade be-
cause of deficiency of storage room in At
lantic cities.
The temporary decrease of exports, however
is the only unfavorabe feature in the CONNER
clal and industrial status. The volume of
business is large beyond all precedent for the
season, and low railroad rates have induced
great numbers of buyers to come to this city
who have been making their purchases of late
years III Western markets. There is no indi-
cation that the fall and winter trade will be
diminished 10y the decreased yield of grain );
indeed, with an advance of forty or fifty per
cent i'll prices the farmers expect to get as
much money, or even more, for their crops
this year than they did for their crops Of 1850.
At present spectators are giving them
chance to do so, which they are EN- bracing

apparent guilt; in these juries would
often refuse to convict even upon clear evidence,
for the mere reason that hanging would be the re-
that If they believed there was an intent to kill,
however briefly formed, they should pronounce the
accused guilty. But they would answer man
slaughter guilty rather than send the accused

lieve, which first introduced the plan Of grading the
aggravated deliberate forms Of intentional killing
as murder in the first degree, and furnishing these

have followed suit with SIMILAR statutes. These
vary considerably in their phraseoogy; they draw

general idea ia substantially the same that who
commits murder out of deliberate purpose shall
be punished with death one who does so hastily
