OUR IRIUH LETTER.
DUBLIN, April 3d, 1873.
The registered proprietor of the Ulster Er
minsr has been severely punished forhbis arti
eles on Judge Lawson. That jqdioial person
sentenced him on Saturday morning last to
four moutbs' imprisonment and to pay aine
of £250 to the Queen. Mr. MaoAleese-thet is
the name of the Ulster Eraminer's esponsible
condnotor-male an aflidavit on this day week
answering the charges against him, and he got
Mr. Batt to read the affidavit and explain hsis
articles. But the affidavit and Mr. Butta,
apeech were disregarded by the judge except
here they served to inflame his indiagnation.
Lawson said the affidavit was a bold defiance
of the authority of the court. While there
was no doubt that this was a lie, it is yet true
that the affidavit withdrew nothing that was
contained in the obnoxious articles, but on the
contrary affirmed that overything that was in
them was within the proper limits of discus.
e ion. In other words, it was not an abject
*pology, and an abject apology Lawson vowed
was the only thing that could induce hirn to
treat Mr. MacAleese leniently. He was deter
mined from the first to inflict a heavy punish
ment, unless that gentleman went on his knees
to beg pardon. So that his taking two days to f
consider the matter was all nonsense. You
may be sure that ae and his colleague, Keogh, I
cbnclled over their wino at the fact thlat he
had got within his grasp at last a journalist
who had often "pitched into" both of themn,
and that they determined from the very first
that he should get it hot and heavy.
This ferocious sentence has been regarded by
all persons in Ireland, except the Northern
Orangemen, as a flagrant outrage on justice,
and even Orangemen themselves were aston
ished at it. Even some of the Euglish journals
have condemned it as quite too severe. It is
seen by all that the Examiner had committed
no crime at all-was guilty, at the most, of a
slight indiscretion. It is, moroeover, seen that
the reason it was punished was not becauso it
had committed any crime, but because it was
a fearless denouncer of rottenness in high
quarters, of judicial cotrnption, of the erimu
of putting on the Irish bench mets who, with
the instincts of a viper, hadL worked their way
through the slimy paths of political intrigue,
and becausnee, of all things in the world, such a
journal is feared and hated by such men as
Lawson and Keogh. Because, therefore, there
was no moral crime committed by the Exami
ncr, the public have determined that it shall
not be crushed out of existence by such a viper
as Lawson. Four hundred pounds sterling
have already been collected for Mr. MacAleeso
in Belfast, and it is determined to collect at
least six hundred more and to present the
same to him when he is released from prison.
This is the answer of the public to the on
elaught of Lawson. Another effect has been
to set people thinking that it is by no means
desirableto have the power of summarily pun
ishing for contempt of court vested in men
who, like Lawson, have no consciences, and
are apt to disregard their oaths. But until we
have an Irish Parliament we may be sure that
this power will continue vested in our judges,
and when we have an Irish Parliament it will
not be necessary to take it away; for then we
shall have honest and impartial judges, if it
were necessary, in order to effect so desirable a
consummation, to make a clean sweep of Law
son, Keogh & Co.
I think I told you in my last letter that this'
Lawson distinguished himself last summer by
an attempt to prove that the priests of Galway
had committed not merely a legal crime, but a
moral one, and should he treated by overy
honest man as commuon felons. I forgot then
to add that such an attempt caine very ba:dly
from Lawson. If Justice had her way he
would be now undergoing a long term ofnt i
prisonment Ter the double crime of bribery
and undue interference, instead of being in a
position to sentence others. Ilt was member
for the corrupt little borough ot Portariington
in the last I'arliamrent, and there eau be noj
dloubt at all that he bought hie seat as well as
your Mr. Caldwell bought Ihis in the Senate.
It was not necessary that he should ,he very
rich in order to dot this, for the elcetoi ate of
Portarlingtou consists onli of aboullot ninety
persons, and only thalfof theses were Wiling to
sell their votes to him.
What can he accounted ol!y as a g cat an
tional religionus ceremony took place in every
church and chapel throughout Ireland on San
day last. I alluide to the dedication of Ireland
to the Sacred Hieart, which was performed in
accordance with a resolution of the Archbish
ops and Bishops passed at their nmeeting irn
February. A Triduum preceded the ceresiossy
and was attended by vast coagregations,
while on Sunday the crowds that everywhere
were seen appraching the altar rails for tbohe
purpose of receiving the Holy Communion
were unusually large, even for Ireland Here
in Dublin the priests had to turn out of several
of the churches at 11 o'clock on Saturday
night several thousand people waiting for con
fession, there being no prospect of their being
able to give theiu all a hearing. The same
may be said of several other towns. Never
before was there nuch a general recourse to
the Sacraments, and all classes and both sexes
contribitfr to the throng. Any one whso saw
our churches the last three days of l:st week
and on Sunday couldl not, indeed, hiave failed
to be convinced that against the ever-risillng
tide of ingtdelity all arounid ue, Irelanld is still,
as of old, like a rock in its invincible CathLhi
city. The truth is that the people were lnstch
ed by the fact that their counlltry, as well :s
themselves, was being dedicatedl to .Jesus:
which shows that those who strive to dissoci
ate the cause of nationality from tihe cause of
the Catholic religion in this country, are going
the right way to destroy tise latter.
Father Burke preached on the openuieg day
of the Triduunm in the Pro-Cathedral, Blarlbo
ro' street, in Dublin, anid again in the samene
place on Sunuday. I heard this latter stranou.
It was a very line piece of clognuence tad
deeply moved those who Iheard it. T'ie follow
ing evening-that is, on Monday-the Rev.
gentleman stasted for Rome, in company with
Father Lily, of Now Yark. Hle is to be back
here in time to preach on tise festival of St.
Catharine of Sienna. Great a preacher as he
is, I venture to say that his superior is to be
found here in the person of Father Banon, the
Jesuit. This I say in fear and trembling, forI
haow it is considered something like heresy to
question, esther hero or in America, Father
Lunrke's primacy.
The contest for Tyrone has commenced; the
nomination having taken place on Monday
last in Omagh, and the balloting being fixed
for Monday next. The only caimdidates are
Capt. Corry and Macartney. What I have
chiefly to call attention to this week in con
nection with this matter is the tactics of the
landlords. And these tactics are splendidly
illustrated by a document somehow gotten
hold of and published by the L'Dery S.Stasdsrd,
in its Issne of yesterday. It is a letter written
by Capt. Mer-yn Archdall, M. P. for the county
Fermanagh. to a gentleman named Capt. Hame.
ilton. Capt. Hamilton had canvassed, on be
half of Mr. Macartoey, some of Capt Arch
dal's Tyrono teiants. One wosild think this
was not much of a crime. But it is an unpar
donable offence in thse eyes of Caist. Arcissull,
whso accordisIgly isroto to C spt. liasiltoss to
the effect that he ilsid heard with snrprise that
he had "piesunsesh" to canvass his tenasuts;
that "a msonielts consideration usighs, have
convinced him ofthe gross impropriety" of tse
act; that lis tenants were well able to jdgen
for themselves, and that he was happy to say
that never yet had there been any diference
between hini (Cap. Archdal) and his tsrauts
as to who was the satest to represent the
coany Tyrone. B1& he ais sbaf thselhd
never bad the courage to act contrary to his
Sorders. it would have been true enough, fos
they had never had, and if they had had, they
Swould have been all turned out of their homes
The truth is, that Capt. Arcbdall eoceivels lit
has a right to the votes of his tenants as wel:
as to the rent they pay him, and that it is tc
him and not to them that application for votes
should be made. And so with all Irish land.
lords. Capt. Arobdall is a caitital specimen of
- the class. But the power of Capt. Archdall
Sover his tettiots' votes is gone. We have the
ball* now, and no matter what letters land
a lords nmay write, they can't really any longeL
a compel their teagts to vote in any particular
a way.s
SThe questio J Irish University etlcatllion
t is once more o tbe parliamuentary tapis. Mr.
i Fawoett's billfor turning the Protestant Uni
Sversity of Dfiblio into a theoretically infidel
E institution brings the whole matter to the front
once more. This Ibill was first instroduicatd into
s the house of Conunons two or three yearSt ,tui.
J and was read a second time last session; but
s it was always epposed by the Goveri isent as
s offering, iii their opiniosn, a wholly iasderluate
s solstion of the difiienlty. Ar the beginning of
t the present session it was introduced for the
Sthird time, and the second lenditng of it was
t fixed for Wednesday, Mr. Fawcett's intention
L being not to go on with it at all if the Govern.
i ment bill should prore satisfactory to hima and
" should pnass. Tho Government bill having
Sbeen unsatisfactory to him, and having failed
t to pass, ho fell to working at Liit own, antid was
e in full career when ho was sudldenly brought
e to a stand-still by an Irish Liberal Isenmber
Mr. Callan, M. P. for Dundalk. How this cause
s about is shortly toll. Mr. Fawrett deterr:ineutl
to make some changes in his bill, hIut. instead
of waiting to do so until it had pasised rite see
oend reading and got into cnumoiLtte, he madtle
them before thie day fixed for the secondt read
ing. aad he issued his bill so changed as the
bill he had got the House to, tead the tirat tiise
a few weeks previously. Mr. Callan dtletecltel
the dillirence, called the Speaker's attention
i to it, and, finally, got that tneltiounary to do
i cide that the bill could not be proceedeld with,
I but must be reintroduced. The effc-t of thus
I would be-on the suppositionI that the Go.vern
ment would oppose the ujll-to shelve it for
the session, for althoegh Mr. Fawcott issigsht
istrive to go on, he would inot probably sisid
time tinder the rules of the iouse. lint Ihereo
sthe Government proposedl that if hle woulList
1consent to sacrifice all the other clauses but.

s nay, certaio, that the cluses will liecoimieti law.
- The Irish Liberal members ha-ve opposed, and
I will continue to oppose, all and every part of
the uteasuro-becauso all and every part of it
is devised in the interests of secular education
sand infidelity, and because the passing of all
and overgt part of it wouldl probably delay a
Ssatisfactory settlement of the question.

of Charleston, and I doubt if we shall spsro the
Spublic buildings there as we did at Milledge

in And now we look with interest for the dis
i- patches that would settle the vexed question
e- as to whether Sherman, or bin oilcers acting
i- under his orders, burned Solunabia ns the 17th
r- of February. Unfortunately, a atornial (ov

t On March 15 he writes to Gen. Gilltuore, ad
visitlg him to draw forces from Charleston and
SSavaunah (both then in Federal hands) to de- '
o stroy a railroad, etc. As to the garrisons of

sI Fanny Fern says: "I am inclined to think
° that gossips, male anl female, do not begin by
' being mlalicious. This is the way it happens:
their minds being uniuformed and uneulti
vated, and their own lives meagre and barren
' of interest, they naturally fall to watching
' those about themn, to see if they cannot extract
.a little pleasurable excitement from the aon
templation of their neighbors. This taste
r- "grows by what it feteds on," and lacking the
o element of thIe marvelous at any time, what
n easier than for thelm to supply it, and make
Sthe story a round one at any sacrifice? In pro
t portion as the mind is cultivated, thiigs, not
persons, engage its attention. 1ad womlen as
many resources as nmen, femnale gossips would
b he scarce in proportion. Mothers, not only for
Sthis, but for other obvious reasons, should
early cultivate a taste fotr readillg inl their
i daughters. A yonug girl has tlhen a resouorce
ti against lthe corrodinug rust of llunempllloSed
t hours, not only in yontlh, but in her old age, if
llunsurroulided by dotmestic ties. She need not
c tlhen be agape for every bit of scandlal, or etnt
ploy Iher time rltuning about to collect lumaterial i
for it tmanufhacturn. She can "select her com
pi5ny then of the host, and dismiss them and
'-recall theft at her pleasure, without otience.
e Abovo all, she will hbe dignilied, and be itdo
i pendent iof excitetentt and vacnity.
Trhe oltlowing beautiful andti instrustive
n. ecdt is irelatedtl in the antobiogrJaply of
lltriet IK. IIunt, of Boston, wlho, in the
n earlier part of hier life, kept a school for
- chlildren at tlhe old '"north end," A "cousin
t of mine, in Clhrlestown having passed a
way, it hcamie proper that I ahouldl attend
her funeral. It was school aft-rnoon. I
e did not disnmiss the scholarse, and, as they
dislikedl a luonitor, I hit uponl the following
. plan of leaving them : I plact.d in the chair
the large old-fashiorned slate (it bad beel
In my father's), wrote on it tihe Inames of the
- sclholars in the order in which they sat,
e and arranged the needle-nwork and read
' ing (for I always had some interesting
SwOIrk read alou by soue elder pupil
d every afternoon), and then said : Now,
Smy chlildren, whilen thei clock strikes live
