UNDER THE present English administra.
ton Ireland's representation in the British
Parliament has been increased to eighty
members, and in numerous other ways has
the administration shown that it is really dis.
posed to do all it can to ameliorate the un.
fortunate condition OF the people of that un-
happy country. And yet the dynamiters
would have blown up the Premier, for they
put one of their packages under his chair
in the House Of Commons. 1t would not
be at all surprising if the money to pay the
damage caused by last Saturdays explo-
sions were raised by taxes levied in Ireland,
and if the terrible Crimes act were again
made operative there. For Ireland's sake
the dynsmiters should be exterminated.

then taken upon the treaty itself, and thirty.
two Senators voted for its ratification. wh,I.
twenty-three voted against it. The atlirm..
tive vote being less than two thirds Of tie

made to reconsider the vote

INDICTMENTS AGAINST w. R. SMITH,

INDICTMENTS AGAINST w. R. SMITH
The criminal investigation by the grand
jury of the Hastings Court of Richmond
into the charges of embezzlement of State
funds by w. r. Smith, clerk in the Office of
the Auditor of Public Accounts, which has
been progressing during the present term
of that court, has 80 far resulted in the re.
turn of fifteen indictments against Smith
The various charges embrace the larceny of
money turned in to pay taxes and other
Indebtedness, and of moneys received from
clerks of the courts of the Common wealth
banks and other sources. Enough papers
are already in the hands of the Common
wealth's counsel to show that the number
of indictments against Smith will go up
into the hundreds.

The FACT that a republican who was

A hutiny at Sea.

1t was stated in yesterdays GAZETTEthal
the crew Of the British bark Wellington
muiinied of Cornwall and killed the cap
tain and severely wounded the mate. Three
Of the crew were wounded. Particulars
concerning the mutiny are given by the
crew, as follows. The ship left Havre for
New York on January q. Captain Arm
strong was i'm command. He had been
drinking for several days before he left port
and when he got out to sea he increased bis
lihations until they brought on au attack
ofdelirium tremens. This eliminated OH
the 2Sth instant, when the captain 1.-THE yes
sci being 400 miles west of the Sciliy Is
lands imagined certain members OF the
crew to be in mutiny. On that day he had
the hoatswain, the carpenter and the stew
ard put in irons for four hours for SOM
imaginary offence. Next day he assaulted
the carpenter, and, placing revolver a,
his throat, fired. Owing to Captain Arm.
strong's unsteadiness, the bullet missed liz
mark and wounded a seaman. The cap
tain, evidently maddened by this failure,
swore he would shoot every man aboard,
and began to flourish the revolver. The
crew closed upon him TO Gisarm him. He
struggled desperately, and was thrown
down with such violence that his skull was
fractured against the deck, and be died
four hours afterward. The crew of the
Wellington consisted of sixteen meu. They
were compelled TO throw overheard all the
spirits in the ship to prevent the captain
from drinking The latter fired reckIessIy
about the ship, while The crew hurled mis-
siIes al him in their endeayor TO stop his
shooting. He was finally captured by the
crew, who suddenly closed in upon him.
An inquest will be held on the body Of the
captain of the Wellington.
Another version of the sailors side OF TIE
mutiny on the bark Wellington is us TO-.
lows: Captain Armstrong got drunk lasr
Monday, and with loaded revolver IL
his hand chased the crew around the decks
until they took refuge in the rigging. The
captain ordered them back to the deck, but
being afraid of his pistol, they refused 10
obey, and climbed further aloft. Captain
Armstrong began shooting indiscrimiuaely
at The men in the rigging, and, severely
wounded three of them. Then the re-
mainder Of the crew, acting together and i'll
seif.defcnce, returned 10 the deck. sur,
rounded the captain beat him senselcss and
PIT him in irons. He died soon after The
fight. The three sailors whom be shot are
in a dying condition.

ALL THE reputable newspapers OF the
country, republican as well as democratic
Catholic as we'll as Protestant, Irish as well
as American, either ridicnle or repudiate in
the strongest terms the dynamite speech
made in the Senate last Monday by Mr..
Riddleberger. A correct idea of what they
ell say may be formed from the following
extract from the Philadelphia Record. an
Independent newspaper:
"By his course on the Bayard resolution
Senator Riddleberger has greatly wroDged
the brave and magnanimous people whom he
happens to represent. The people of Vir
ginia have nothing but adherence for the
cowardly dynamite, assassins and the APP
plause of such only can Mr.. Riddleberger
expect to gain in return for the contempt
of the rest of the country"

The SENATE yesterday, as anticipated,
and as was right, refused to ratify the Mic
araguan treaty, the chief feature of which
was q provision by which this country was
to build and own ship interoceanic canal
through Nicaraguan territory. A canal is
already in progress OF construction across
the Isthmus of Darien which will be as free
to this. country as to any other. Why,
therefore, the United States should build
another one, and thereby become entangled
with foreign alliances, is what no body but
the members of the ring engaged in the
scheme can.tell, and they can't satisfactorily.

THE NEW YORK Herald, in referring to
Mr.. Riddleberger's late dynamite speech
in the o. 8. Senate, in which he likened
the dynamiters to John Browns gang at
Harper's Ferry, says the murderous work
Of that gang "a Virginia Senator now ap-
parently justifies." But the Herald should
know that Virginia now is unrepresented
in the q. 8. Senate. She has asked one of
the members of that body who misrepre-
SCENTS her to resign Of the other, the one
referred to, she takes no notice, except to
deny that he does represent her. She has to
depend now for her Senatorial representa-
ton upon the Senators from her sister
Southern States.

concentrations of Mr.. Ridd!eberger referred
to the General for action. But when the
President was anxious to have Mr.. MIC
CulIoch confirmed as Secretary OF the Irea-
sury, Mr.. Riddleberger delayed that con-
,6rmation for more than two weeks, being the
only republican who voted against it; ana
Yesterday, when the President wanted his
Nicaraguau treaty ratified, Mr. Rlddleber'
ger was the only republican who voted
AGAINST that also. AS Mr.. Arthur had no
use for Mr.. Riddleberger when in power
now that he is about to be deprived OF his
power, the latter shows. in the most conspic
nous manner, that he has no use for him.
