Ere any hint of me as vet

A Professional Pathfinder and Mischief

Mr.. Murch, Representative in Congress from
this District has published letter purporting
TO have been written by him to the meeting re-
Gently held in New York to protest against the
Imprisonment Of American citizens in Ireland
Mr. Murchs letter is Il fabric of gush and folly.
lie asserts that it is "concedcd on every hand''
that American citizens are incarcerated in Brit
ish prisons and lain there for months against
whom no crimes are charged. who are refused
both trial and examination, before the ..perillr-
ed and prrtidiouS realm that has kidnapped
them, and that our government stcannot take
the trouble to protect our citizens in the clutches
of British prisons and military despots." The
good sense of the majority of Mr.. Mur.h'> con-
stitucntS, we think will CScrimnate between
his intempcrate language and that of a true
statesman. whose utteranceS will command at
tention. Nobody Of good sense will believe
that our government at Washington. or James
Russell Lowell, its minister at the Court of st.
James, are indifferent to the complaints of Amer
lean citizens imprisoned in Ireland, or that the
English Government is unwisc enough to dis
regard any proper representations from our
own. 1t has recently been publicly stated that
not single American citizen is imprisoned in
Ireland. At any rate we venture to assert that
there is no danger to the liberty of any Amcri-
can citizen in Ireland who minds his own prop
er business and does not infringe or encourage
infractions of the peace. But if MIR. Murch did
not attract attention by his effort to stir llp dis
content. he would remain in obscurity ALWAYS.

wuo ARE THE BOURBONs4

As used in the North, this word Bour-
bon d~esignates a class of white men
composed chiefly of leading citizens OF
the Southern States. The Bourbons are
the principal business men, lawyers.
physicians, teachers, clergymen, mer-
chants and farmers of the South. They
are everywhere the leaders OF society,
in the best sense of the word. They
sustain the churches and give such effi-
Cheney to the moral activities and dis
cipline Of the communities as they have
thus far attained. Taken broadly or
generally, the class includes the best
people of the South, or most OF them.
They are Bourbous because in, politics
they are Democrats, and act In opposi-
ton to the principles, policy and meth
DDS of the Republican party. That is
all. As to the Southern men
who compose the class to which
this name is usually applied In
the North. it cannot be said that,
aside from political matters, they are
very unlike any other people, or unlike
the best people in Northern communi-
ties. They are .amiable. CONSCIENTIOUS
sensitive and public spirited, resembling
in many points of character the repre-
sentative men of New England, from
whom they differ only in general IN De-
ing less secretive, more ready for CONVEX
sation. As to their political action, 1t
has been for years inevitable; the neces-
sary product and result of the peculiar
conditions of life and society IN the
South since the civil war. They cannot
be held responsible for the disturbed
condition Of things that has existed Tor
some years in the Southern States. Col
lisiops between the different classes fol-
lowed unavoidably upon the elevation OF
the emancipated slaves into political SUI
periority Of the DISTINGUISHED citizens OF
the country, their former masters and

Mr.. Scoville needs $1,000 to enable
him to carry on the defense Of his in.
famous client, and, as he is without
funds. he appeals to the American public
for assistance. There has been from the
first a general and very proper DISPOSE
ton to sympathize with Mr.. Scoville.
People appreciate the difficult and en-
barrassing position in which he has been
placed, and they recognize the fact that
he has done his unpleasant duty faith.

something on his own account he would

The speech of Judge Porter in the
Guiteau case was essentially a +" jury
speech" and one of the most effective OF
the kind ever made in this country. 1t
was intended for the IL men to whom it
was addressed, and not, as many similar
speeches are, for effect on the outside
world, and for the benefit Of the authors

nc effort at display, but a steady purpose
all through to fasten the minds of the
jurors on the prisoner and his crime. II
