As MIR. John Dillon is one of tho prim,
movers and prominent leaders along with
Mr.. Parnell in the Irish land agitation ma
tiers, and visited this country with Mr.. Par
neil, anything concerning him, he havins
just been arrested, must be interesting, e.
pecally to our fellow citizens from IRELAND
and of Irish descent, as well as to all who
sympathize with the Green Islo in the gal
liant struggle she is making for life. Wher
Mr. Dillon was arrested he was lodged in
Kilmainham Jail, where number of other
land league agi,ators are now confined, ar
rested under tho provision of the coercion
act, is the county Jail, and is situated west OF
the suburbs of Kilmainham, Dublin. II is,
like all bastiles, gloomy, massive structure,
and is considered the har.hest retrea. of its
kind in all Dublin for the immurement of
political prisoners. Its principal wing forms
an oblong, there being two tiers of cells, With
accommodations for about sixty prisoners
During the suspension of the habes, corpus
act, 1867, Kilmainham jill WA. crowded
with suspected Fenians. Governor Price WAS
the head jailor, and he made himself very
Unpopular by his harsh treatment of
the prisoners. General Halpin
who defended himself and who
w's sentenced to fifteen years penal servi-
tude, dubbed Price "the gorilla" and that
cognomen stuck to him ever afterward. One
of the features of the institution was that
political prisoners were treated with the same
harsh severity as condemned malefaclori, the
only exception made as regards tho former
that they were not obliged TO work. But in
tho matter of discipline food, treatment, etc.
the treatment WAS the same. OF course such
prisoners as could afford it were permitted to
supply themselves with what deicscies they
desired, but At their own expense During
twenty-lhree hours out of tho twenty.four
they were confined to separate cells, and the
remaining hour was devoted 10 walking
around in Indian file in ring in small
yard. No communication or conversation
WAS allowed. Visitors were permitted once
n week, and conversation could then be cnly
conducted in tho presence OF a warden, a
thick wire netting interposing between the
prisoner and his friend.

IT is said the British authorities intend tc
strengthen their American possessions on the
Pacific coast? What for? Are they being
menaced! Are they SO simple as to sup
pose this entire continent will not some day,
and not in the very distant future either, be-
long 10 the United States? 1t is simply a
question Of time. The United States does
not need any more territory than she possesses
now, but when she does she is very sure TO
procure it--pescesbly of course, but If not
peacesbIy why-well, she will get it and
that is sufficient.

ton seemed TO be ambitious to take part in the
vile calumnies aud unmitigacd falsehoods which
were heaped upon him. There was scarcely
fact of his public or private life
represented. Brave, generous, honorable, aud
life partisan necessities demanded that every vir-
tue ho possessed should be contorted into vice.

motive to stab her to her ylals We
have never known such unscrupulous
defamation, such wicked ISLANDERS and malignant
danunclations. But the people have answered
them with an emphasis that cannot be mistaken
and q rebuke which will be felt, And the political
power for whose sake he has endured this gross
villhCation will not forget him, nor allow his
public character aud reputation TO go without a
more formal and complete yindicaton. IL is
one OF the strange phases OF the
canvass that persons who had always recognized
Mr.. Lewis us a gentleman without reproach should
have allowed themselves to be carried into such
eXCesses OF vitupemtion and falsehoOd, simply in
