Forster and Burke had been repeatedly threatened, and had found 8 necessary to be guarded by police. Cavendish, however, could have no reason to fear assassination, and it was not sa surprising that he wert unguarded. I can see no reason why the Tories should be influenced in their action in regard to their proposed vote of censure by the murder of two individuals, simply because they chanced to be officials. So do not think the tragedy will materially affect the relations existing between the two great parties in England."

Mr. Ford, in his own name, and on behalf of 1,000 branches of the Land League in the United States, whom he represents, joins l'arael and Davitt in abhorrence of the crime perpetrated in Phomix Park, Mr. Parnell is satisfied the deed is not the work of any friend of the Land League, nor dues he believe any frish organization is res ponsible for it. The whole thing is wrapped in thick mystery, Assuredly an cuciny has done this. Nevertheless the effect of the act for the present operates to the prejudice of the good name of Irishmen.
Loxbox, May 8th One universal wish prevails-that the assassina may be arrested. The police are completely at fault. They have not even a good theory as to the crime. A gentleman who was present states that Saturday afternoon, when the Vice-Regal pression arrived at the Castle yard, a man went to Cavendish's carriage and asked if the Chief Secretary was there. His Lordship raised his hat and said: "1 am Lord Frederick Cavendish." The man did not reply, but simply looked carnestly at the Chief Secretary and then walked into the crowd,

The Standard says it believes the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland will be offered to, and accepted by, Joseph Chamberlain, President of the Board of Trade. It says Mr. Forster has offered his services to Gladstone, if required. The Standard adds: Burke, being an Irishman, and a Roman Catholic, one would have thought these circumstances would have disarmed hos- tility in his case.
The Times says: It is imperatively necessary that Gladstone should prove to England, without an hour's delay, that he has at length come to understand the true nature of the Irish difficulties. No attempt made to explain the murders as an accidental outbreak, or as the last, hopeless effort of organized 'disaffection, will avail with those who advocate Forster's measure as indispensable

Mr. O'Reilly, who is a prominent physician, and one of the most influential Irishmen in the city, says the above dispatch is not only the ex- pression of the sentiments of the Land Leaguees generally, but of all Irishmen whose opinions are worth anything. Conservatives and Radicals alike, he says, repudiate the act no matter by whom or from wha: motive it may have been committed,
PEORIA, I., May 8th.
Patrick Crowe, notorious for fathering the re cent scheme to blow up British ships by infernal machines, believes the assassinations of Satur- day evening were due to the hatred for Burke, and that Cavendish was only killed as a matter of protection. Burke was the Under Secretary of the Government at the time of the Fenlan troubles, and made himself thoroughly obnoxious to the Fenians, and was the most malignant enemy of the Irish race, and detested by
it most vigorously. He was lost sight of in the recent troubles, but had been denouneed as bitterly a Forster was.
The Fenian (not the Land Leaguers) had killed him. It was understood that he would try to crush out the secret societies, which are the strength of Ireland. England is afraid of assassination, and it might eventually drive Gladstone from power. The assassins must be then of great nerve. As for himself, the dynamite hero, he would like to see several hun- dred of the Government officers killed. He would like to see things in Ireland so hot that none of them would dare stay there.
CHICAGO, May 8th. Reports from many of the leading cities in this which, without exception, passed resolutions of Country speak of meetings of the Land League, abhorrence and execration at the assassination generally, are to the effect that the deed was of Cavendish, and Burke.

LETTER BOXES.
Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with sealing wax, but there is no impression of a
seal
The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable scal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office: the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps.
