In the course of an article on Jefferson
Davis in the Chicago Inter Ocean, over
the signature of 'Bystander, - Judge
Albion w Tourgee writes: "Yet with
all this, some things in fairness must be
said of the aged chief of the Confeder-
acy. He has been consistent and reso-
lutte in the maintenance of his views Of
government Some years ago the
Bystander took the pains to
collect and collate all the votes
and speeches of Mr.. Davis
as member OF both houses of the national
congress. II was useless labor except
from the fact that he desired to All out
and complete his own mental picture of
one of the most notable men of his time
"a man who has occupied an anomalous
position in the world s history. AS re-
suit he does not hesitate to say that one
making such study and at
the same time reviving in his
own memory the sentiments to
that time when the tempest brooded over
our land, cannot help a feeling of re-
spect for the evident sincerity and ability
of the man who was afterward TO stand
on so strange pinnacle From his be-
lief in the constitutionality of secession,
the righteousness OF slavery, and
the justice of the Confederate
cause, he has never for an instant
wavered, from his earliest speech in the
house of representatives to his latest
letter, in which he confidently appeals to
the future for vindication of his views
and conduct. What he then believed he
still believes. One cannot question his
sincerity -

a PROFESSOR DISTURBED.

Another religious bigot has come to
the front in Boston. Prof. Townsend,
of that CITY, attacked the Catholic
church last Monday morning before a
meeting of the Congregational minis
tiers in q manner injurious only to the
author, whose ignorance of and preju.
dice against the Church and her teach
ings were marked in all his utterances.
The daily press Of Boston like the daily
press Of our own cities Of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, as every one knows, are
owned and controlled by Protestants-
not of the Townsend stripe, be it said
vet this creature of blasphemy and
blind prejudice has the audacity to as
sert that the ''large newspapers of Bos-
ton have been constantly VIC rking in
the interests Of Romanism for several
months, and that their unfairness de-
serves the derision and scorn of all
honest men," The utter disregard for
truth that this rabid so-called professor
has shown throughout screed noted
only for the abuse it contained without

! NsINCERITY AND PRErENSE.

There does not seem to be any real
disposition on the part of the govern
ment or of landlords to settle existing
differences in Donegal by arbitration
as evinced by late cable dispatches. The
efforts in this direction, while honor
able on the part Of the tenants, have
been met with degree of listlessness
and resentment that shows the course of
the former in this matter to have been
utterly devoid of honestY-shaliow pre-
tense and nothing more. Instead OF
righting a grievous wrong the govern
m emit and landlords, 10 all appearances,
are striving to drive an unarmed people
to desperation that they might have
some pretext for calling out the stand
ing army, ETC., and parade in the pub
lic press Ireland's increase Of crime"
Such desperate methods as these have
been practjced before-it was the policy
of the Tories in the early part of the
nineteenth century, is their policy
now. But il will prove of no avail.
They may drive these people to exile,
they may double and treble their evic-
lions il they will, but the national SEN
tineDt of Ireland will live on IN its
strength and influence. never to be
crushed OF exterminated. And it is
this sentiment that England has most
to fear.

The notorious Edith O'Gorman has

The notorious Edith O'Gorman has
been relating her lies against nuns and
nunneries in several parts Of England.
In Bromley, as she was delivering her
diatrlbes against Popery, some persons
present mildly expressed dissent, and
six respectable factory girls were evlcted
from the hall with brutal violence. The
cause on account of which dissent was
expressed, was that the lecturer vilifed
a small community Of French nuns who
live in Bromley teaching French and
other branches Of study. The chairman
said '.he trusted everyone present
would persuade their friends not to
send. or to discontinue sending, their
children to the French convent near
by, after such statements as they had
listened to from the lecturer of the
evils they might be subject to-" The
nuns who were maligned are univer-
sally respected for their virtues and for
the good work they are doing; but No
Popery lecturers are all alike in their
propensity to talk evil of those devoted
ladies whose holy lives put them to
shame.

ton which has been so unjustly as
sailed. Furthermore, judged by an
impartial and Intelligent public, his
utterances will find little or no favor.
TN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

at a convention of the body of the A..
O. H., presided over by VIM. Sheridan,
of New JERSEY, acting in the capacity
of National Delegate, and which be-
gan three days session at Tammany
Hall, New York, Tuesday, May IA,
one of the most important things done
was to appoint a committee Of confer
ence, consisting Of three members
whose duty it shall be to meet similar
number from thetereat body Of Irish
men and their defendants, who are
strict adherents of the Ancient Order
of Hibernians throughout the land and
who are faithfully and ably represented
in the position of National Delegate by
Maurice F. Wilhere, of Philadelphia.
It is further proposed that the six ap
pointed from both sides shall together
choose the seventh arbitrator and that
their decisions upon all matters that
now exist shall be final. This is
certainly movement in the right dl-
rection and will be hailed with delight
and satisfaction wherever the Order
exists. Divisions, jealousies and bicker-
lngs amongsthe Irish people have done
much throughout centuries past to
their injury and helped to crush and
defeat many a noble effort and patriotic
cause in which they have been engaged.
ALI this is being fast obliterated from
the generous Irish heart and nature,
and III its place there is being estab
lished disposition for perfect unity
and common good for all that is now
leading and will lead on to future
bright with promise for race surpass
ed by no other in Natures gifts.

WATT WAS TIE MOTIVE?

In another column OF to-day issue OF
THE IRISH STANDARD will be found
an article givin g the particulars OF Che
discovery Of the remains Of DR.. Cron1n
in Chicago last Wednesday-who, it
will be remembered, mystefiously dis
appeared from his home in that city
about two weeks ago. He was killed
by the hand Of another, but who his
murderer was is yet en5hrouded Ill
mystery. His connection with many
societies has given rise to The story
that in one OF more OF Them rs had en-
ernies who are guilty OF his murder.
His associates III societies would natur~
ally be of his own nationality. What
ever the motive, we cannot think now
that Dr. Cronin's slayer came from such
q source. 1t is believed in Chicago that
the person or persons who committed
the deed vii, soon be captured. While
all is conjecture now, the truth of his
SAD ending will then come to light.
