slight discrep -ncy, which was ex-
planned by the county clerk, and the
returns were passed on.
The discrepancy in the Richmond
county returns was explained by the
county clerk, Cornelius a Hart. He
presented the original tally sheet and
showed that the error in the returns
before the board was due to the
omission on the part of the
copyist to insert the names
OF two Batter electors. tFhe mistake
was not apparent in the special foot
ing. A comparison Of the original with
the statement sent the board verified
Mr. Harris explanation. The returns
were adopted unanimouSlT. The clerk
was permitted to correct the returns
All the returns have been received
and the tabulated statement will be
ready for signing tomorrow.

eminent and he is thrown into prison,
the laws and interests of the United
States do not require us to do more than
insist that he shall have q right to re-
turn to the country of his adoption,
leaving the question of damages tor fu-
ture discussion
But McSweeney refused again to re-
turn to this country and our government
could do no more for him. This is
brief outline but gives the main facts in
the case.
The points may all be briefly sum
med up as follows: That when Me-
Sweeney was arrested he had been liv-
ing in Ireland five years, that his family
and all his interests were there, that he
was an oficeholder there, that he took
part in political discussions, and that he
regarded himself as a citizen of Ireland
except so far as he might use his al
legged American citizenship for personal
protection; that within three days after
his arrest was known TO the American
Consul at Belfast his case was spread by
Mr.. Lowell before Lord Granville in
London; that thereafter continued
correspondence was kept up regarding
him. the American side of the case be-
ing weakened by the palpable fact that
he considered himself, to all intents and
purposes, permanent resident of Ire
land.
That he was offered his liberty on
condition of returning to America, but
refused it because he considered Amer
lea no longer his home.
That his arrest and treatment CORE
sponded precisely with the arrest and
treatment of British subjects during
the war of the rebellion by the govern
ment OF the United States.
That, if living, he is still resident
of Ireland, and intends SO to remain
until the day of his death
/ That there is nothing in the case in
volving Mr.. Blaine, as it never was
before him officially, and he only heard
of it short time before he retired from
Office and when he was fully occupied
at the death bed of President Garfield.
And, also, that the government omitted
no effort at any time to have full and
ample justice done insolvency, who re
jected the only service the government
could, under the law, render him.

GROVER CLEvELANp's letter of a

GROVER CLEvELAND's letter of ac-
eeptance has at length appeared 1t is
brief and common place The princi-
pal point made is that President ought
not, or need not, have any views of his
own. his simple business being to exc
cute the will of Congress. and believe
just as his party believes in all things.
He therefore swallows the platform
without any attempt to interpret it.
He cites a passage from his letter ac-
eepsing the nomination for Governor of
New York to show what friend he
then protested to be of the laboring
men, but negleets to show how he failed to
keep that promise. This letter more
than any thing else shows how unfit he
is fer the presidency, and how barren
he is of any thing like statesmanlike
ideas.

logic are both correct The people of

by our own supreme court, and by all
other courts so far as we know. The

was not honest or had never examined

Butler letter of acceptance of the
various nominations for the presidency
rendered him is a document that only
Butler could have written. 1t is very
long and, like every thing he writes,
very audacious, rather making a boast
of his demagogism than any effort to
conceal it. He recapitulates at some
length his fruitless efforts to do some
thing, while in Congress, in the interest
of the laboring classes, emitting what
he really did do for himself, especially
the salary grab he pocketed- Very few
newspapers are large enough to print
his letter in one issue, and very few
people will attempt to read it through.
1t places Butler, however, before the
country as the candidate of four or FIVE
different factions, all combined not suff-
eient to secure him an electoral vote.
and will do little harm to the other par
ties. except to the Democrats of New
York and Massachusetts,.

A few Democratic papers think they
can make capital against Mr.. Blaine, or

In 1876 he resolved to return perma-

that year, taking his family and all his
property with him, entered into business,
took part in politics, and held Office as
poor-law guardian, and in every way
possible repudiated his American citi-
zenship. In June, 1881, FIVE years after
his return to Ireland, and while an
Office holder there, he was arrested on
the charge of acts tending to create
ney claimed the protection of the United
States government, and Mr. Simms, T.
5. consul at Belfast, reported his case to
Mr.. Lowell, minister at London. The
minister at once laid the case before
Lord Granville, of the British foreign
Office, and correspondence occurred
between these as to the facts and the
law of the case. As a permanent resi-
dent of Ireland and an office holder the
British government claimed jurisdiction
over insolvency as subject, but in any
event he had violated the British law
and that government had the right to
arrest and deal with him for so doing
That government, however, did offer to
release him if he would return to
America. This he positively refused to
do. All this occurred without the at
tention of the home government being
called to the case But in the last days
Ct his seeretaryship Mr.. Blaine heard
of the case and promptly set about ex-

could and passed them over to his sue

GENERAL BUTLER SAYS the Repub

GENERAL BUTLER says the Republic
cans have erected many and expensive
public buildings, spent many millions
in opening the mouth of the Missis-
sippi and leveeing its banks, and many
millions in improving rivers and har-
bors. And these, he says, were all
aids to the capitalist and land owner. .
When it is considered that ninety per
cent. of all this money was paid out for
labor to the laborers who did the work,
it is difficult to understand how the
capitalist was benefited as much as the
laborer. But Butler makes audacious
statements like this in the belief that
