Grafton any further alteration of the Jury
system. He admitted that this bill was
extraordinary, but he declared that 1t was
necessary TO meet the extraordinary circum-
stances. The operation of the bill would be
limited to three years. The Government
would do all in their power TO prevent innoll
cent persons suffering from its action. Hei

desired to give the Government all tho
assistance in their power, but held them re-

Mr.. John Bright said the bill was not
aimed at political opponents, but against

pursue their daily duties in the confidence
that protectionwouldb be afforded by the law.
Mr. Parneil said he wished to ujoiflI III an
expression as to the temperate spirit shown
by England during the past few days; but
he declared that spirit was not displayed in
the proposed bill, which he regarded as the
| most stringent ever proposed, and which, he
said, would result in hundredfold greater
failure than what had gone before. iGdg 4nf

DUBLIN, May disappointment is gen
orally expressed at the failure Of the police
to discover anything important concerning
| the identity of the assassins of Lord Fred
| erick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, and the
feeling is growing that they have escaped.
Michael Davitt, in his letter to the Stand
ard after referring Mr.. Forster to his
| (Davitts) speech in which he held Mr..
Forster responsible before God for the con-
| sequences that would inevitably follow police
| terror and coercion, admits that he is a con-
| victed Fenian-convicted on false charge
sworn to by a salaried perjurer, and asks
fair-mined Englishmen to put their imagine
tion in the place of son of an eyicted Irish
peasant, and to answer whether it is any
: stigma to an Irishman that he has been a
Ea,osat n Tho manila n Ireland do nOt think
so. The false relations of the two countries
| have been brought about by misunderstood
ing and misrule, as man may be criminal
on one side of the Irish sea and patriot op
the other. If it be said that a Fenian Is q
man who wishes to burn, blow up and MUIR
der, will not even reply TO that, although
know it to be untrue. If in the hot blood
of early manhood, smarting under the
cruelties and indignities perpetrated In
, Ireland, saw appeal to force the only
means of succoring her, upon my graver
thought in the bitter solitude of a felon's

enfranchsement and differentiation of the
people and of the conquering, of hate and
Justice. have suffered by their power but
there is in my heart to-day no sentiment of
= bitterness toward the English people The
r gospel 'of the land for the people'' is uni
g Versal gospel. In it's triumph is involved
, the social regeneration of England
as clearly as that OF ireland. IL you
would find a Hlodas yiUe1adi between the

that nothing could do or say would strike
as effectually as the feeling of horror which
was sent through ireland at the slaughter of

y under circumstances which lent to the black

The letter concludes as follows "How can
protest with effect against outrages when
the most brutal and irritating outrages are
n being committed in the name of the law.
q Ladies are sent to prison as persons of evil

; New YORK, May 11.--In cable dispatch
i received by Mr.. Ford of the hish World to-
day, Mr. Davitt says he fears that a sacrifice
c will be demanded TO satisfy the vengeance
y of Irish landlordism, and furthermore, that
t he has private information that he himself
1 will be the victim selected.
