Stewart, be was secreted in the ship. The ship
sailed soon after, and when some distance from
Naples Mrs Stewart informed the commodore
of the presence Of this person on the ship. The
commodore at once returned to Naples and de-
livered the fugitive to the authorities and, as I
was told, put Mrs. Stewart on q vessel sailing
for America and never saw her again. There
was . good deal Of kindly sympathy for
her here, for no one ever questioned
the purity Of her motives, and her friends said
it was the harsh treatment Of the commodore
which produced in her the strange after life

NO PARALLEL BETWEEN PARNELL AND HAMILTON
The press of the day have sought to find Q
parallel between Hamilton and Parnell, but
none exists. The cases are entirely dissimilar
Hamilton's confession and his tender of his
resignation was an act Of genuine heroism,
Of lmmolation. but this recent case is defiance
OF public opinion, which no man has ever been
successful in overriding. Its quiet potent and
powerful effects cannot be evaded. Recalling
the men OF l848, whom / knew 80 WELL John
Mitchell. Richard O'Gorman. Smith O'Brien

resentatlves OF the race for which they suffered.
believe. in looking back over the long line of
patriots who have suffered, and fought for
Ireland not one can be named who didn't go
to his grave with an untarnished name, freed
from any moral delinquency, and it is this fact
which weighs SO heavily against Mr. Parnell.
There was ample charity awaiting him in the
future had lie sought it by retirement until the
public sentiment had been propitiated. Take
our own citizens who are active in the cause of
Ireland. l don't mean those blind adherents

agree with every word in your editorial Of
Saturday last. JOHN F. CcyLE.

PARNELL's GRANDMOTHER LIVED HERE.

The attention Of the whole civilized world

interest your readers to know that in the past
his grandmother resided here, and in another

almost every day on the avenue, and she
walked with very queer gait, hardly lame,
but Ike one wearing tight shoes which were
painful. There were two daughters living
here with her who shared their mothers pecu-
hsrities- One of them l remember distinctly,
who was known as Miss Peggy Stewart, and the
other one cannot recall. Whether either of
the ladies was subsequently Mrs. Parnell / do
not know, but il would not surprise me- as any
OF the family would be liable TO indulge in the
eccentricities which have oceasioned so much

the memory Of her comes back to me, while

4 FAIR CHARGE.

JUDGE JAMES A. MINERS charge
TO the grand jury of the First Dis.
trict Court at Ogden will be found
in another part Of this paper. 1t is
a fair aud able document. While
emphasizing offences supposed to be
common in this Territory, it does not
discriminate but directs attention 10
all, without going outside the bounds
Of judicial jurisdiction or casting
slurs at single class of the COM
NUDITY, as has been frequent with
some Of his predecessors.
Impartiality, so necessary in the
administration OF Law for the pun
poses Of justice, is strongly impressed
On the jary, also the exclusion Of
nearsay evidence, on which alone

found in this Territory. and their
sworn duty to obtain evidence with

We believe Judge Miner has fully
complied with the law and the
necessities of the occasion, in this

be guided and limited by these in
.tructions, the ends Of justice viii be
,ubserved and no person will be
unlawfully orunjustly injured.
