Talk of an Irish Suspect.

New York April 1s.-Walsh, the
Irish suspect, who arrived to-day
from France, says he left England to
put himself out of the power of that
lying wretch Carey. He would go
back to England if he thought he
would be tried by a fair jury. But
too many were hanged in Ireland
now days unjustly, and he should ex-
pect to be made a victim, although
he was as guiltless as Gladstone him
self of the charges brought against
him. He considered the conviction
of those now OIL trial a foregone con-
elusion.
Walsh gave a long account Of how
he was inveigled into the acquaint-
ance of Detective Murphy, but being
innocent of any crime, no admission
could be got out of him. He had no
recollection of ever seeing Carey, the
informer. The charges against him
were devoid of foundation. He re-
garded Carey as the most unblushing
perjurer on the English list of spies.

A Wholesale Butchery.

DUBUQUE, Ia, April 1S.-Charles
Smith, a well-to-do farmer living
four miles north of Earlsville, Iowa,
Went to his barn this morning where
his two sons, aged nine and thirteen,
were engaged at work, and killed
them with an axe. Returning to his
house, with the same weapon, he
killed his wife. She stood by the
stove preparing breakfast. He then
attempted to kill his two daughters, the
only remaining members of the fam
lily, but they succeeded in reaching a
neighbours house safely and gave the
alarm. When they returned it was
found that Smith had killed himself
by cutting his throat with q butcher
knife. These meay gre details only
are known and no cause is assigned
for the deed.

CLUTCHNG AT A STRAW.

One of the mort convincing proofs
of the shattered condition of the Re-
publican party and the distrust 1t en-
tertains in the availability OF its lead
ing members ~ candidates for the
Presidency is seen in its eagerness to
parade Judge Gresham as the coming
man for that exalted position. q
few days ago he was scarcely known
outside his State, but since his nomi-
nation as Postmaster General his
party press have started cut to boom
him into a candidacy for the Presl-
dency. Blaine, Arthur, Conkling,
Logan, Edmunds and Grant are APP
parently forgotten i'll their new born
admiration for this new man. The
long services Of the one, the steadfast-
ness of the other, the undisputed pow
er of the third, the ambition Of the
fourth, the eminent fitness of the
fifth, and the silent longings of the
sixth are ignored or unheeded in
the presence of the Indiana Judge.
Gresham is said te be a discovery
of Grant and a maj after his own
heart, but it is not likely the General
thought he was, in procuring the APP
pointment Of the Hoosier, Juggling in
the Cabinet q man who would over-
lap his old-time political friends in
the Presidential race. But Gresham
has not "got there" yet; nor is it
he ever will. The old veterans
in the party who have borne the heat
and dust of many campaigns~and
have placed themselves in the breach
in a score of hard fought battles will
not willingly yield the standard of
their party into the hands of a COM
untried man, whose only
recommendation for leadership lays
in the fact that he halls from a doubt
Ful State. Whenever he becomes too
they will find a way to dis
pose of him effectually, and the
Indiana judge will hardly know how
t was done. The Republican party
IS worshipping at the new shrine be-
ore it is fairly completed and the
ealous old gods will have none of it.
But a we said at the outset the pick
ng up and booming of Gresham
'hows that the Republicans in their
lisorganized and weak condition are,

Another Good Republican Come
to Grief.

WASHINGTON, April 12.->tillwell
H. Russell, late United States mar
shall for the western district Of Texas,
recently tried and convicted upon the
charge of presenting false expenses,
was to-day sentenced by Judge Tur-
ner at San Antonio to Imprisonment
for two years in the p~enitentlary.
Russell was appointed by President
Hayes and made application to Presi-
dent Arthur for reappointment. But
charges Of misconduct in office were
preferred against him, and an inves-
tigation ordered by the Attorney Gen.
eral ended in his conviction. It is
estimated that Russell has defrauded
the Government out of at least $780,
O0O. His official bond, however, is good
and the Department of Justice ex-
poets to recover the entire sum from
his sureties.

Trial of Packer, the Cannibal.
DENVER, April 12.-The trial of
Alfred G. Packer, the San Juan
ghOul charged with numbering his
five companions in the Sin Juan
country in 1872, has been III progress
in Lake City the last few days. It
was concluded tonight and the case
given 10 the jury. The evidence
shows that a party Of six organized
iii Utah i'll 1872, to prospect Southern
Colorado, and while in the vicinity of
the present site of Lake City, a blind
ing storm coming On they lost their
way. Their food gave out, and for
days together they lived on rosebuds.
The men became desperate and some
craZed. While his companions were
in this condition, Packer deliberately
fell upon and butchered the whole
party, and for several weeks lived OH
flesh cut from their bodies. Yester-
day in the course Of the trial, Packer
made 4 statement calmly and for two
hours he related the experiences of
the party from their setting out from
Utah and closing with the most sick
ening details Of the murder and his
subsequent feasting on human flesh, |
claiming that the killing was done in
self-defense. The evidence shows
that each member OF the party,
except Packer, possessed quitea large
amount of money, upon which the
ghoul has since been living. After
nine years wandering was captured a
few weeks since near Fort Fettermar.
While the evidence is
entirely circumstantia!. yet it is
deemed conclusive, and a verdict of
is confidently expected.

The DYNAMITE Hearing.

peared for the defense. Poland,
opening for prosecution, declared
there was no doubt in view of the ev-
idence obtained by the authorities a
conspiracy was in existence in Amer
lea the purpose of which was the de-
struction of buildings in this coun-
try. That factor invoked by con-
spirators was dynamite; that some
men now on trial in court came from
the United States for the purpose of
putting their schemes into op-
Grafton; that they had fur
nished means and men to establish
the recently discovered dynamite
mandatory at Birmingham and
that Gallagher, Wilson and Norman

Packers Case,

DENVER. Col, April ia Lake
City special this morning says the
jury in the case of Alfred G. Packer,
charged with numbering five COM
panions in the San Juan country in
1872, returned a verdict of guilty. A
motion for a new trial was made on
the ground that the murder was COM
mltted on an Indian reservation, and
that therefore this court has no juris-
diction in the case. A decision will
be made this afternoon.

SOMETHING TO LEARN.

of desperate men, skilful in the COM
pounding of explosives and watching
for an opportunity to blow the city
into the next world, the rates Of in
surance on real estate in the shape OF
threatened buildings, both public and
private, ought to rise rapidly in Eng
land. But it seems such is not the
case. In the face of the fact that
there is really nothing to prevent a
few determined men, supplied with
explosives, to blow up half of Lon
don, underwriters of that city do not
seem to be alarmed. Their seeming
confidence, coupled with the absence
OF explosions or attempts to blow up
buildings since the bungling opera
ton of some greenhorn on the Local
Board building, give rise to the sus-
picion that John Bull has recently
become very nervous and unsettled.
He has generally been credited
with being cool and deliber-
ate in all his actions, but it seems the
little jar he received the other day
has destroyed his equanimity and
made him panicky and extremely
suspicious. Failing to put his hand
at the moment upon the murderers
of his peace Of mind he looks across
the Atlantic toward America for
them.
Mr.. Porter, the Crowns counsel in
the Brady trial, in his opening speech
day before yesterday. voiced the feel
lngs of the old gentleman when he
stated that the instigators of the
Phoenix Park murders had fled to
foreign lands. The gentleman may
be right. 1t may be possible that as
soon as an assassin secures his victim
and a dynamiter touches off the
fuse which fires the terrible explo-
he jumps aboard 4 vessel and
views the result of his work from the
shores OF America. But we don't be- |
lieve it. The public opinion which
can breed such murderous acts is
enough to shelter and protect !
their perpetrators and they may be
found nearer home.
1t is true America contains many
outlaws, but it is hardly
possible she holds eve a representa-
tive number. The political atmos-
phere there contains the germs of an
innumerable army of them and when
one falls into the meshes of the law a
score or more are called into life to
rescue him. The cause cannot be
raced to this country. 1t lays in the
Objectionable form of European gov

by a scurrilous article whict
appeared in the Dillon Tribune

ments quite as scurrilous. The Dill.
lon sheets contribution to an unpop-
ular cause is couched III the following
language:
1.-THE edict having been given, Fa-
ther Searles, Of the Butte MINER,
turns that paper loose as the cham
pion apologist of Custer county crook
edness. We are not informed
whether the MINER reaps q pecu-

glory, the presumption is that it is

We S very mild language when
We state that the first paragraph of
the above excerpt is a lie, and that
the latter contains an insinuation as
unjust to this journal as it is base and
cowardly. The Helena Herald, in
giving place to the above, finds room
to add the following characteristic
fling:
"The recent large sums extracted
from the Custer county treasury were
placed where it is supposed they
would do the most good. What Cox,
Word and other Democratic lawyers
did not get IS retainers is thought by
the Custer county citizens to have
gone to the Democratic press to
mould public opinion and save the
thieves from prosecution and punish
ment.O
Whether Messrs. Cox, Word and
other Democratic lawyers received
retainers from parties in the Custer
county suit, we know not nor care
not. It is neither our business nor
the Herald's what lawyers receive
for their professional services.
Neither do we know whether, as the
Herald would have its readers be-
money has been paid to Demo-
cratic papers "to mould. public opin-
ion and save thieves from prosecu-
ton and punishment" But we do
know that not a cent of it has reached

do not believe that any other Demo-
cratic journal in the Territory has re-
a dollar for opposing
he high-handed proceedings of
he Helena Ring. Further
more, We do not believe
he Herald even thinks that a cent

the unwarrantable and un-
awful course pursued in the Custer

aimed a single element of truth. The
