DUBLIN'S REPLY TO THE CASTLE.
The local government elections in
Dublin on the 29th inst were extremely
satisfactory all round from the Nation
! ahst point of view. Perhaps the most
notable result was that in the two
! wards In Clontarf, which was the
stronghold of Unionism. A few weeks
ago Alderman Gibson declared at a
| corona tft,pr ~, Ia IL
| that, thank goodness, Clontarf would
| for many day be thorn in the side
OF the city ana the corporation. Al
derman Gibson was yesterday relegated
TO back seat by the electors of the
East ward. who had the audacity to
suppiant himself and his Unionist col
league by two Nationalists. Something
similar took place in the West ward,
where two Nationalists were also re-
turned and one Uninonist. There is
very great CONSERVATION in Lord Ar
diiaun's township. In Arran Quay the
United Irish league candidates have
simply swept the field; while in Inns
Quay and other wards the candidates
put forward by the United Irish league
were also well to the fore.
In Ballinafad courthouse, about four
miles from Boyle, the prosecution
against eleven members of the United
irish league opened on Tuesday, May
26. The coercion court was constituted
on Tuesday, May 26. The coercion
court was constituted as follows: Mr.
f. B. Hem, r. NJ, and Mr.. William
Jonesc, r. NJ. The defendants, who
live in the neighborhood of Ballinafad,
County Sligo, were charger with hav-
ing, on the 7th of May, at Ballaghboy,
in the petty sessions district of Balli-
nafad County Sligo, taken part in an
unlawful assembly, and with having
unlawfully and unanimously assem-
bled together FOR the purpose of wrong
fully and unlawfully using intimida-
tion towards one John Smyth, one
James Smyth and one Martin Smyth.
The little court house was practically
filled with crown officials, while out
side were placed number of police
men. So
The Removables, in giving their de-
cision, said the meeting was a perfect
ly legal one updto the time of the
shouting at Smiyth's. After that it
was an illegal assembly. They dis
missed the cases against John Bren-
nan, John Coen, Thomas O'Gara and
John O'Gara Of Ballinafad. But John
Sheridan, Michael Condor, Dominick
Buoye and John -O'Gara of Carrickna-
horna, and Henry MacDermotttroe
should be imprisoned till the rising of
the court and find bail in two sureties
of se5 each and one Of e10. The de-
PENDANTS intimated. in reply to Remov-
able Hem, that they would not give
bail, and were sent to prison.
Great indignation is felt in the dis
trict at the decision. The defendants
are respectable young men, and the
prosecution is regarded as a punish
ment for their membership of the
league
OFF TO AMERICA.
At meeting OF the Srtokestown
board of guardians recently an appli-
cation was received from an evicted
tenant and her son for assistance from
the board to enable them to go to
America They had got passage tickets
from a sister in America. but they had
not the train fare to- Queenstown. Mr..
O'Connell said they were entirely des
titude, and God only knew how they
lived since they were evicted. There
We're no prospects for the young man
in thic country. The chairman (Mr.
James Neary. j. P.) entirely disagreed
with this view. He would be very
happy to assist an evicted tenant, but
he didn't wish 10 assist in driving them
out of the country. There was work
and to spare for all the young men left
in Ireland and he asserted it was
wrong and unbecoming on the part of
any board of guardians to assist any
young man to leave the country. The
majority of the board supported the
chairmans views, and the application
was refused.
Emigration from the western counties
of Clare, Galway and Sligo to the
United States is attracting much atten-
tion, hundreds Of emigrants from those
counties passing through Limerick on
their way to America. During Febru-
ary, March and the beginning of April
the departures were at intervals, but
within the past fortnight they have
become of daily occurrence, and extra
train accommodation has had to be
provided, and jim some cases trains ran
to meet emergencies
The United irish leaguers of Derry
have dealt promptly and properly with
the Nationalist corporators who, with
ou. a protest, permitted the corpora
ton to propose an expenditure of G4OO
in connection with the decoration of
the city on the occasion of the corona
ton. Only four of the sixteen Nation
alists in the corporation put in an ap-
at the special meeting called
for the purpose, and of the four who
attended only one made a spirited pro-
tse against the proposal to use the city
rates for the glorification of the king.
The Justin Mccarthy and the South
Ward branches of the United league
have called upon the cautious council
1rs to resign the posts to which they
we're elected on Nationalist principles.
IL there are some craven Nationalists
n Derry there are also overwhelming
numbers who are straight and uncom-
