among the best Of the world. and is
respected and feared accordingly. A
pitiful award Of some thousands Of
dollars was made to families aud
friends Of the Cuban patriots butch
cred in cold blood, and that was the
only redress. The principle involved
and the insult to the American flag
went BY without vindication. And
now an Irish American citizen has
been very hastily tried and uncere-
moniously executed, without even a
courteous recognition Of the counsel
sent over from this country,
and the request for a sus-
pension Of judgment made for
mally by the Cabinet. Such events
greatly embitter the Irish element
and its friends in this country aud
elsewhere. Ryan and O'Donnell still
live and their Influence will c felt in
be years to come in the "irrepressible
conflict" that is going on in the world.
Whatever their INSTALLATIONS ia
life they made no mistakes in ad-
herence to principles and fidelity to

taphs are to be written and eulogies
uttered their names will appear and be
voiced along with the Emmets, the

The death of Chambord, so long ex-
pected, is announced, and the throneless
King has left the empty honor of hol-
low title to doubtful successor. We
have SO recently thoroughly considered
the political relation of Chambord and the
Count de Paris to France and it's parties,
and the probable effect Of the death of the
Last of the true Bourbons, that no return
to the subject is now necessary. We may
add, however, that since THAI writing moth
ing has occurred to lead us to make any
modification of the Judgment then, formed
that the death Of the Count de Chambord
will produce no serious political oomplica-
tions in France, and viii not weaken the
hold Of the present Government upon the
people. Nor will it prove other than a
disaster to the hopes OF the enemies OF the
Republic.

KENTUCKY.

One of the best evidences possible to
be sdduced that there has been a Demo
cratic election in Kentucky is found in the
fact that the balloting was had on the 9th
day of August, and that on the 18th of the
same month only 100 out Of III counties
Of the State had been heard from. The
proposition for Constitutional Convention
has been defeated. II lie unfortunate, but
true. No State in the Union so badly
needs law regeneration as Kentucky. Her
Constitution lays behind the ordinance of
the State and the sentiment of the people.
But the Democraoys rulers know that in
reform there turks enmity to their power,
and so all efforts to amend the fundamental
Law have been peraiatently opposed by the
party, with here and there an exception in
the person of a far-seeiDg and enlightened
member, who cared for his country more
than for the triumph Of his candidates.

A comnIrTsE LOVE- Feast.


The Democratic love feast in the State
Central Committee in San Francisco this
week, on the railroad question, broke up
in row. There was very little Christian
charity manifest among the brethren, and
they lost their tempera pretty much IS
the fellows of the other party do some
times. They could not agree as to the
propriety of calling halt in the silly cru
sade that has been promoted by q few Office
seekers and political demagogues mas
querading in the name and raiment Of the
people. a majority of the committee coz
oluded that no extra session of the Legis-
lsture is needed, while minority holding
the opposite view seeded and have issued
= manifesto that is full Ct mutteTing and
demands Tor an extra Legislative session
for the express parpose Of tightening the
cinch with which the Democracy would
grid the railroad companies. Confess
sious and charges were made before the
break that were, to say the least, amusing.
Itdevelopedi in thewayof confession, charge.
insinustion and denunciation. thas there
are some fifteen candidates for Governor,
more or less; that each one is more than
anxious to mount the anti.railroad hobby,
and that there was present strong lobby
to influence the committee to keep the
stone turning at which these demagogues
may grind their little axes. The two days
proceedings made perfectly manifest the
hollowness and inaincerity of the crusade
against the railroad companies, and must
convince the thoughtful voter that all the
shouting comes from parties who have po-
iitical ends to subserve, and who care
nothing for the interests of the producers,
carriers and shippers of the State.

antil about 1857 or 1858 that he began TO
