Bat the existance of actaal peace is not accompanied by a sense of sec On the contrery, there ls an andefined, ground- leas, dread of bidden , of which the government is cognizant, and which may any day break forth in some terrible convulslon. This feel- ing Is sustained by precautions which the executive has properly taken. The absence of outrage is unfortanately no evidenoe of the moral improvement of the organization of the leagae is more perfoct, and its laws implicitly obeyed. There fs reeson to believe that some effort is being produced by | changing the policy of the Irish ex- | ecutive in relinquishing his attitude of nervous observation and inaction, andadopting energetic measures for trying the efliciency of existing law to represa terroriem. Had these means been adopted three months ago, they would have been more eflicacious.
