which was repealed by the Supreme
Court, is in the city tonight. and In
referring to the destruction of his favor "a

was submitted also to Judges Welcb,
West. Ranney, and Dsyle, as we'll as to
the Hon. Charles ID. Martin, late Demo-
cratic candidate for Supreme Court
Judge. All these gentlemen agreed that
a bill had been prepared which would
stand before any court. Judge Ranney
says that the counties need not pay the
tax back, apd should not. Il also ap-
pears quite clear now that the saloon
keepers are where they were before the
Scott law passed, and can be prosecuted
for selling liquor to be drank on the
premises. The Scott law legalized the
traffic, which enabled saloon keepers to
collect bills against customers. Now all
protection 10 wiped out. and the liquor
dealers can be bothered if the people are
disposed to prosecute. DIR. Scott says
that should proposition be submitted
to the people to amend the constitution
so rs to permit license, the proposition
would be defeated, as it was thirty ode
years ago, by the whiskey seller and pro
bibiionists who voted to defeat license
and free whisky hass followed.

The bakers and baking powder manu-

THE RELEASE OF AN IRISH CON

The Irish convict Kilmartin, who has
been released after serving two years of
his sentence of penal servituds for at
tempting to shoot man, his innocence
having been declared by the real culprit
on his death bed in America, has been
welcomed to his home in Arran Island
with great rejoicings. He crossed to the
island in the sailing boat known as 1.-THE
Land League." Every house was illu-
miHate1, and bondfires blazed on all the
surrounding cliffs The convict's meet
ing with his wife was very affecting
He afterwards addressed meeting of the
people and declared that if it were not
for the consciousness of his entire inno-
cence be weuld.. ..have been dead long ago
in the dungeons of Chatham. The po-
lice prevented Hernon, the bailiff who
sware.against the released convict, from
also addressing the meeting. Kilmartiu
has become partly deaf in one ear during
his incarceration, and though fine
young man of thirty his hair is turning
gray, and he appears nervous and broken
down. He declared to reporter of the
Freeman's Journal that the Irish warders
are by no means so harsh and without
feeling as those in the Enolish convict
establishments, and the diet is better 10
Irish prisons The diet at Chatham, he
s,ys is equivalent to killing by slow
starvation. The prisoners eat candle
ends aud other similar things which they
can secrete from the rubbish heaps, and
ravenousiy devour the fiIthlest and de-
composed food. He Described :he disci-
pline, special insults to Irish prisoners
the callOusness of the warders, the tyran
ny of the superior over the inferior off
cials. and that of the latter over the pri-
soners. Up to thu last he did not know
of the efforts to obtain his release.
