It is said that Mr. Andrew Carew O'Dwyer is to
be the Filacer of the Irish Exchequer Court. Mr. O'Dwyer deserves something better than this at the hands of his party.
In Dungarvan, the Tories are grumbling because the Duke of Devon- shire gives his aid to the Liberal candidate, instead of the Tory, Mr. Galwey. What, in the name of politics, do they expect ?
At the late Tory gathering in Belfast, Mr. Emerson Tennent, the chairman, delivered so many long and tiresome speeches in proposing the toasts, that the Dublin EveninyMail and other Tory journals are lecturing him for his conceit and impertinence. It seems that, at four o'clock in the morning, the toasts were not nearly pot through, and that many would-be orators went home with undelivered speeches in their pockets. Mr. Dunbar, the colleague of Mr. Tennent, sneered at Tennent for his shuffling and political apostacy.
In Donegal the registries are favourable to the Liberals, notwith. standing the Marquis of Conytigham allows his Tory agents to be in- different or hostile to the cause which their employer professes to sup- port. The Dublin Freeman's Journal gives the following advice to the easy Peer- " Let my Lord Conyngliam but act as my Lord Clements did—namely, go amongst his tenantry with a valuator, and; see those who are able to register ; and he will find that we are not exaggerating when we state that he might add. one hundred, with ease, to the constituency at the county. Let the Liberal proprietors, who possess two-thirds of the soil of the county, but thus exert aciuselveR, and the people will soon he properly represented in Parliament."
It would be desirable for 1.iberal landowners to employ only Liberal agents ; but it is frequently o easy matter to get rid of on agent, who may be in possession of "secrets worth knowing "—a trustee, receiver, executor, and solicitor to the estate ; or perhaps in advance to the great man whose servant he is only in appearance. Of course we do not mean to apply these remarks to Lord Conynglttn, of whose property we know nothing.
