ANTRIM.


Alderman Haslett's petition against
the return Of Mr.. Sexton, M. F., for
West Belfast, was heard on Oct. 2S.
One Of the judges was Baron Dowse.
We may therefore expect an unpreju-
diced hearing. Mr.. Sexton had for his
counsel. Mr.. T. NJ. Healy. Alderman
Haslett does not claim the seat He
merely seeks to oust MI. Sexton and to
force new election, with perfectly
sublime indifference to the rioting which
it may be expected to cause in the pres
ent excited state of popular feeling in
Belfast. Mr.. Haslett can be cona aratu-
lated OH the lofty temper which takes
no note OF small consideration like
house-wrecking and hlood~spilling in
the streets OF the Claw and order" town
which has him for municipal legisla-
tor.
ARMAGH.
On Oct. l2, a man named Rogers, a
clerk in the employment Of Mr., Will
lian Gallagher, solicitor, died sudden.
ly while going into the Crown Office,
Armagh.
CARLOW.
Carlow, few years ago. lay SO help
less under the Tory heel, that typical
landlords, like Bruen and Kayanagh,
could get themselves returned election
after election without opposition. But
the fight begun by Father Ryan, Of st.
Mullins, before 1890, has since been car-
rled on so we'll at each revision SESSIONS,
that all heart has been taken out OF the
county. This year they threw up the
sponge. No agent appeared for them
in the revision court, the landlords ap-
parently objecting to throw away mon
ey uselessly. The Nationalists. there
fore, have had everything their own
way. We rejoice over this complete
emancipation of the gallant county.
CAVAN.
The death is announced in Cavan, of
the Rev. Father Lynch, lately PIP, Of
Dunlap, Iowa, a generous, large
hearted, and patriotic Irishman and
good priest.
CORK.
at The municipal elections in Mallow
The Nationalists succeeded in gaining
one seat. Mr.W p. Creagh was ousted
from his seat. The victory was, how
ever, not unmixed. as Mr.. Kepple, last
years National Chairman, was elected,
MI. M. j. Moriarty, a politician OF the
Whig pattern, filling the seat. In Kim
sale, where the Conservatives had ob-
tained footing at the previous election,
there was crushing victory for the
n Nationalists, all Of whom we're return
ed with overwhelming majorities. At
Fermoy Mr.. Sheriffs was defeated by
the secretary of the National League.
