THE IRISH DEBATE IN CONGRESS.

Mr.. Robinson. of New York, did not
succeed in getting the resolution adopted
whereby he proposed to bring the British
Lion to an accounting for the American
Irish patriots confined in Saxon jails.
But though the House seemed somewhat
ashamed of the situation, there were over
one hundred members sufficiently dema-
gogical to vote for the resolution with
which not one of them could have had the
least sympathy. For of course they all,
including Robinson of New York, know
perfectly well that even if this inquiry was
made, it would have no other effect than to
embarrass the relations of the country with
Great Britain, and to bring upon Congress
the information that the American citizens
referred to have been imprisoned for the
very sufficient reason that they have
broken the laws of England. And when
that information had been obtained there
would be nothing for it but to drop the
whole business, aud SO the demagogism of
the episode would be exposed conspicu-
ously. Not but what it is plain enough now,
as the course Of the minority showed on
the occasion referred to. And if Robson
called Robinson "demagogue he
only stated truth which all the country
is fully prepared to indorse after listening to
his preposterous speech on this same ques-
ton couple of weeks ago. But the ma
jority, even in Congress, evidently feel that
the subjsct is one which had better be let
alone, and that there is nothing in it but
very small quantity of very worthless
kind of political capital a sort of "fiat I"
political capital, in short. They realize
that no serious diplomatic negotiations can
be proposed ON the basis of an impertinence
which the people of the United States
would be the first to resent if England
offered it to them, and even for the sake
of pleasing the Fenians the country cannot
be stultifed in that way. When Irish
Americans choose to leave their adopted
country and go to England or Ireland, and
there violate the laws of the land, they
must expect to be dealt with without any
regard to their American citizenship. That
is how the United States deals with law.

which we have made our own we certainly
cannot complain Of when employed by our

An injunction, pending litigation, has
issued against the Tax Collector of Amador
county, restraining him from selling the
property of the Amador Branch Railroad
for nonpayment of taxes. The complaint
shows that to secure an indebtedness of
over 800, 900, mortgage has been exc
cuted upon the road, its appurtenanoes and
franchise that under the Constitution the
mortgage constitutes for the purpose Of
taxation an interest which is not owned by
the plaintiff, but by the holders of the
bonds; that on the 81 of May, 1881, the
State Board of Equalization made pre-
tended assessment upon the franchise,
road way. roadbed, rails and rolling stock of
plaintiffs, which was entered upon their

SCISSOR of Amador county, who was only
notified by letter that the apportionment
Of the assessment on the road to Amador
county was 81 600. The plaintiff further

right and privilege to apply for the cor.

State Board without notice or an oppor-

provisions of Section 10, Article XII,

laws of the State of California, which re-
quire that the property shall be taxed in
proportion to It's value, that such proper

before liability is fxsd an opportunity to
be heard must be given, and which provide
for an appeal from the Assessor to Boards

prison. In these interviews the aim of the

prison. In these interviews the aim of the
reporters seems to have been to create the
impression that the woman was guilty OF
the charge preferred against her. Her ap-
psarance and manner are infinitely de-
seribed, and at short intervals it is init
mated that she "appears nervous" that
she has 50 furtive" and "downcast" look,
that she +" works her fingers almost con-
vulsively," that she I" betrays emotion,
and many other like expressions, all going
to promote and intensity the belief that
the accused person is undoubtedly MUIR
deress. It does not appear to have &C.
Cured to these reporters, or to the pub
fishers of the journals for which they
write, that the woman they have been writ
sing up" In this sensational and strongly
prejudiced way is under arrest on capital
charge; that no matter what may be al
legged against her, she is innocent in the eye
of the law until proof of her guilt has sat-
isfed twelve iurymen; that pending her
trial, and upon it, she is entitled to the
benefit of whatever doubt may exist; and
that, consequently, whoever writes of her
as of convicted criminal, not only is
guilty of extreme improperly, but is
chargeable with an endeavor to interfere
with the course of justice, and to prevent
her from obtaining an impartial trial. We
are well aware that the reporters are very
strongly tempted to make their accounts in
such cases as sensational as possible, and
since confessedly guilty wretch is sup
posed to be more interesting to the average
reader than prisoner about whose guilt
grave doubts may be entertained, there is
powerful tendency towards assumption of
the most exciting view. Nevertheless it
seems necessary to observe that accused per
sons have certain rights, and that one
of the most obvious and incontestible
OF these is the right to be protect
ed against misrepresentation pending the
formal trial of the charge. And it is
also apparent upon reflection that it is not
among the proper functions of journalism
to undertake the informal trial of accused
persons. When journal does this kird
of thing it does wrong, and its wrong is
not the less reprehensible because the
sufferer may be unable to defend himself
or herself. And if the press has not suffi-
cient sense of its restraints and obligations
to refrain from so scandalous an abuse of
its privileges, it seems to US that the law
should make provision against such INSIDE
meanors, and should confne the too
exuberant reporter of the period to a
simple and colorless statement of facts in
all cases of the kind. For the present
practice is so at variance with every con-
sideration of fair play that if it is to be
permitted malignant persons may at
almost any time make it impossible for
those against whom their malice is directed
to secure a dispassionate investigation of
any charges.

writes that the boss of the situation at the

the President has brought from New York.
On New Years Day, when every one else

that order by seating two colored women
on lounge in the green room. and allow
