patches from Commandant Ortiz at Alamas

THE IRISH QUESTION.
GOldwin Smith to e. L. Godkin.

LONDON, October 7.-Professor Goodwin
Smith, replying to E. l.. Godkin, who had
written an article in the Spectator criticizing
Professor Smiths views of the Irish ques-
ton from professedly an American point OF
view, writes that he has advocated
measures Of repression, not because
OF any hostility to the Irish,
but because the Parnellites abused
their privileges as members of Parliament
for the purpose Of wrecking parliamentary
government in the interest Of disunion.
There is no doubt, says Professor Smith,
that If part Of the Southern members of
Congress had similarly endeavored to wreck
the American Legislature, they would have
been put down with IS little compunction as
was shown in repressing the Irish in the draft
riots in New York. 1t seems to be forgot
ten, he adds, that in an agrarian reign of
terror the murdered as well as murderers
are irish, while the chief authors of the
system are New York Fenians, and their
organ, the Irish World, is the property of a
Jew. Godkin himself, he says, is not a
native American, but an Irish nationalist.

charging that the Cibieu prisoners now in

that the guilty Indians were long ago per-

pears from the evidence given before
the grand jury, not only arranged to
have the guilty Indians get
away, bat purposely arrested innocent
Indians and had them put in confenment
for months to cover the fight Of the mur-

cy on the part of the agent, is shown by the
evidence Of Indians to-day,to whom Tiffany
revealed his plan, and told them that this
was the only way to save the others from
being hung or shot. The Indians also testi-
fed to regular system of barter of Indian
