The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1882-05-18

A Washington dispatch says: 's In the alb
sence of details officials here are very reluct-
ant about expressing any opinions of the muir
der or the effect it will have upon the Govern
ment policy toward ireland. 1t is thought by
some that if the murder was brought about by
political conspiracy it will result disastrously
to the new Liberal policy. The British Lega-
ton are Mortified over the news, but refrain
from expressing any opinions regarding the
murder. The opinion is expressed, however,
by officials of the State Department that the
assassination, If the result of an Irish upris-
ing, may cause a modification of the present
policy toward ireland, if not the overthrow of
the Gladstone Ministry"
The Chicago times represents Mr.. John Fin
erty as saying: " In the case of Lord Fred
erick Cavendish they (the Irish masses in this
country will regard his killing as both a crime
and blunder, and future investigation will
show that he has not fallen because of any or
ganized conspiracy against his life. The feel
ing created by the assassination in this city, 50
far as have knowledge of it. is one of aston
ishment and dismay, chiefly becase of the fate
OF Lord Cavendish AS for Mr.. Burke,
who shared his fate, he appears to have
brought it on by his own presence. The
Irish people here and elsewhere will have no
tears to shed, although they must regret that
public or private vengeance has reached him
at a time most inopportune for the interests Of
the Irish cause. The effect in England will uu-
doubtedly be most terrible and may lead to
renewal of the coercion policy which has just
been abandoned. The renewal of such poll
cy will only have the effect of maddening the
Irish people, and win precipitate in Ireland a
state of affairs to which the horrors of the
French revolution viii be as chiId's play
A Boston dispatch says; "Au the Irishmen
who have been seen tonight, including the
Hon 2. A Collins and John Boyle O'ReilIy,
condemn the assassination of Lord Cavendish
in unmeasured terms. They say that the kill
ing of Forster might have been, perhaps jtIsti-
fable; but there is no excuse for the murder
of man who has yet done nothing: and the
opinion seems 70 be unanimous that the result
of to-night's work in Dublin will be TO injure
the cause of Ireland more than almost any
thing else could have done. In this view the
so-called nationalists as well as the simon-pure
Land-Leaguers, agree, although they suppose
that the perpetrators of the crime were mis-
guided Fenians. Mr.. O'Reilly compared the
act of the assassins TO that of Guiteau, and
said that it was equally devoid Of political
significance"
special Of the 9Th from New York says:
- The news of the assassination made a sem
sation at the meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Land League at Brooklyn to-
night Justice Walsh hoped the details would
show that the Irish people were not responsi-
ble- Mr.. OCOnnell said il was pity that the
predecessor of Lord Cavendish had not been
served the same way John Rooney, who pre-
sided. called O'Conneu to order Michael d.
Gallagher, President Of the Parnell League of
New York. said, this evening, that the assassi-
nation, If not the act Of g lunatic,
would probably prove 20 be the crime
Of q paid eInissary Of the party Of coercion.
