Colonel c. Irving Dirty, collector of in
ternal revenue, will not yet make public
his letter to President Arthur in reference
to the appointment of Mr.. j. Henry Sell
man to Office, and his own (Ditty'O re-
mova!. Colonel Dirty says he will wait
sufficient time for the President to con-
slider the letter, and if it is not made pub
ic in Washington he will be called on, in
self defense, to publish 1t in Baltimore.
Mr. Dirty says his letter will explain ev-
erything, and show that ''the President by
his act has declared that successful fraud
must be sustained, and man who oppos.
es that fraud must be downed. I mean
to keep on fighting. The worm even will
turn when trod on, and no one has accus-
ed me Of being worm"

The Irish Question.

No true friend of Ireland and its op-
pressively misgoverned people has ever
attempted to justify the criminal viola
tions occasionally resortod to by some des-
perate and misguided Irishmen, either on
the ground of their temperament or any
Other excuse. Ill enlightened friends of
their cause concur with Mr. Parnell in de-
nouncing such violations, but no calm
judging and impartial observer could ever
bring himself to blame the whole Irish
people for the acts and utterances Of such
men as Cary, Brady. Kelly, Rosa land the
rest of this assassinating dynamite crowd"
The subsection of the Irish people to
the British crown Was by virtue of a con-
quest, none the less jestifyable because
connived at by some of the heads of the
pentarchial government Originating in
conquest, the domination of the Irish by
the English people has been marked by
an illiberal and oppressive spirit Of race
prejudice between the Saxon and the Celt.
Cnmistakable evidences of this feeling
were manifested as early as the reign Of
Edward III. The Irish people have been
from the first governed, not as the peers
of the English subjects of the realm, but
as interiors; not as recognizing the recip-
rocal obligations Of a'legiance and protec-
ton, but by system of oppressive and
degraded vassalage. Not only are they
deprived of the right of local self govern
ment, so highly priced and 50 jealousy
guarded by all free people; but they are
subjected to the domination Of a foreiga
power incapable on account of race pref
udice of ruling them with justice and
fairness. These are the facts which call
forth the sympathy and the cooperate
of liberal minds in other countries.
Such being the case, it matters little
what position in the matter the Pope may
think proper to assume. T. is said that
the action of his Holiness is predicated
upon erroneous inform alton designedly
conveyed to him; but however this may
be- his position will have little effect upon
the popular symp ,thy Tor Ireland aud the
public opinion regarding tie question
Ifthere is one principle which an enlight
ened public judgment hold with grel'er
tenacity than another, it is that matters Of
Church and ate should b, kept forever
distinc, aud separate. His Holiness may
we'll aud properly pass his edic's within
the scope an authority Of the hierarchy
of the church, AMI ir my be proper
enough that he should restr lin his clergy
from any participation in political ayita-
ton. This is manifes'ly proper. and We
believe will be for tn, benefit of the Irish
cause. The Jealous interest m ,1ifested by
many ofthe Catholic clergy in the Irish
agitation has We believe. though unreas-
onably Improperly, had a tendency to
give sectarian CO 'oring to the question
and probably exsrte an u1flv,rable ef-
feet. The religious ph,ss OF the Irish
question has been long since ellniua'ed,
and it is now purely political aud hu-
manitarian ques ion. Under these cir
the action of the Pope will
have lit lie effect upon the ques ion.

Since the large capitalists came into
the business of cattle raising in Texas,
great bodies of land have been bought for
ranges, and soon desirable free pastures
will be thing OF the past. Having the
money to fence as well as buy the land,
most of the large ranges are bsinG Ps-
ed in wire. More than 900
would be required to purchase the cattle
bow roaming over the state Half of this
value, according to the best testimony, is
the increase of cattle within two years.

who Runs RandaiI9

". 4. NlNf.
ono Of the curlosltles OF Pennsylvania
politics s developed by the special care taken
by the Republicans in particular to mako n
district for Hon. Sam j. Randall. Very
naturally the Democrats are glad to send n
Democrat OF any stripe to Congress, and ac-
cept the Republican invitation to mauufac-
turo a district along the river front In Phila-
delphia. 1t is pure perquisite, generous
free gift on the part Of the Re.
publlcans, which the Democrats may
be excused for accepting. But the
point Of particular interest Is In the fact that
the Republicans made this shoestring district
in the first place, and bo tn OF these two bills
In the Legislature provide as carefully for
Randall's re. election as though he were their
nrst.born and favorite son. The bottom fact
Of the matter is that Randall is four.flfths Re.
publican, and the Republicans know 1t and
act accordingly. They like to have such
men TO serve their interests In the
Democratic party. And for this rea.
son they are working quietly, but
energetically to get him elected Speaker
of the next House. The difference between
Randall and the Democrats In the matter of
tariff is that he believes In protection on
principle, as q good thing per SO, while Demo.
Gratis are opposed to protection on principle,
while favoring wise discrimination In duties
so as TO AFFORD all necessary encouragement to
important Industries which need fostering.
The difference is radical and too broad for
even such an elastic person as Randall to
cover by straddle.

New York Truth, Goth.
"The member from Bowie County has the
floor" said an Arkansas Speaker when AS
sembIyman Jones fell drunkenly from his
seat.
Yesterday morning Truth was advised by
telegraph from Washington that Colonel Iu-
gersoll still held the floor. Truth wondered
II the Jury did not wish that the floor had held
the Colonel at his start-Arkansas fashion.
Last night Truth was similarly advised that
Colonel Ingersoll had yielded the floor, which
inipelled Truth to examine the floor.
Then Truth ascertained that Bliss lay upon
II welterlng in his rhetorical gore, and that
these were the wounds which the envious
Casca had made ON the body of the Caesar OF
the Star-Route conspiracy-viz:
Cesar Bliss, having told the Jury that Bru-
tus Dorsey had been chairman OF the Senate
Postoflce Committee and had used his offlco
to defraud the Government, Marc Antony In
gersoll produced the record and showed that
Dorsey had not been member OF the Post
offce Committee for nearly two years prior to
June !, 1873, and nevor had been It's chair
man.
whereat Cgsar Bliss, exclaiming, "oh, you
Brute" tumbled Into his rhetorical gore,while
the foreman, who is q Shaksperian scholar,
exclaimed.

onlclals Of the Interior Department are now
making an investigation Into the affairs OF the
Freedman'S Hospital of this city. In looking
over the accounts of this hospital, Judge
Lawrence, the Comptroller OF the Treasury,
found that while whisky costing but S1.25 per
gallon was given the patients, whisky costing
So per gallon was used by the doctors or en-
ployes OF the hospital and their friends, to
whom 1t appears TO have been given freely, II
is said also that Judge Lawrence discov-
cred that the contractor who furnished
the beef used at the hospital, who Is a rela-
tive OF an ex-Assistant Secretary OF the In
terror Department, kept his own accounts a
to the quantity furnished, receiving pay for
all that he claimed to have furnished, and
for use. 1t appears also that portions of the
appropriation for the hospital have been di.
verted to the support OF Howard University
Other Irregularities have been discovered,
showing that the supervision OF tho dlsburse.
ment OF the appropriations for the hospital for
the past fifteen years has been very loose.
