WASHINGTON, p c. April 1.-Captair
Edward O'Meager Condor, who was once
condemned to death on account Of his de
yotion 10 the Irish cause. but whose sen
tence was commuted, and who secured hls
liberty after eleven years imprisonment
is at present an employee Of the Govern
ment'in this city. lie expresses himself in
regard to the exciting news from England
US follows: n
"While placing no reliance on the sen.
satiOnal cabIeprams sent by the British
Government, believe that the Irish peo.
pie, driven'to desperation by the failure OF
their peaceful efforts to obtain some amel-
ioration OF ttheir condition, are turning their
attention to tho only means left to bring
their prosecutors to terms. The outrages,
or rather sentences OF death, rs Gladstone
calls them; the evictions daily taking place
all over Ireland; the brutality OF the sol.
diery and police, exercised with impunity
on the helpless and unolFsnding; the fact
that the Capital city OF Ireland and great
portion ot the country is practically Il
prison from sunrise to sunset; tue, con.
tcmptuous reiusals OF fthe British Govern.
nient ! to pay any attention to the OK.
postulations and requests OF the Irish
clergy or representatives the criminal
and inhuman desire manifest to take ad.
ventage OF the present distress, in order TO
compel the people TO emigrate, and the
unnatural and unchristian rejection ofap.
peals for aid to those who are sinking into
famine graves; NIL show the worse than use.
lessnesss OF looking to anything but force
for redress or relief. Those engaged in
the plots spoken Of do not, believe, seek
to be rcvenged on the people, us vel as the
Government OF England. They wish sin.
cerely TO avoid doing anything that may
cause injury to those who are not respon.
sible for the injuries inflicted on them.
But whenever an armed enemy is engaged
in an act Of war, as an English ex Cabinet
Minister has designated an eviction, resist.
ance becomes duty. The lengthy tele.
grams sent from England are exaggerated,
because the British. Government wishes TO
prejudice the American mind against the
Irish people, fearing that aid might follow
sympathy
"Quiet can only be restored by with
drawing British troops and officials from
Ireland. They have no right there, and
as long as they remain the Irish people
will be compelled to resist and retaliate.
There will be no trouble between this
country and England. Alllrish.American
citizens owe their first allegiance 10 our
Government, bu. they may claim the right
to extend to their suffering kindred the
same help which was given by England to
the South in the late unpleasantness. We
do not tx peCt that members OF the Presi-
dents Cabinet will initiate the example Of
the English Cabinet Minister'S during the
event alluded to, and subscribe TO an Irish
reyolutionaryfund; but we do not think
that our Government is required to show
more zeal than the British did on that oc.
casiol Whenever any one undertakes an
act not authorized by the constitution or
laws on behalf OF Iceland, he will be pre-
pared to accept the consequences"
