CIVIL LIBERTY AND ABBITBABY AKRESTS. . ; ; ' ' Lest Iwe b misunderstood we wish to empnasize; the attitude of the Star towards andJNc Southern-born men who know what war means and what unjust. iniquitous, devilish op , do, can j for a moment pression can have aught put ! sympathy with the long outraged and down-trodden peo ple of Ireland- It is impossible for any man who cherishes his own liberty and regards the liberty of others and who has; any intelligent understand ing of Irish .history! to justify the course of the British government in its dealing? with Ireland, or to have any other feeling thin that f detes tation for the abuses of power and the assaults upon personal liberty. : Just in proportion as the South has suffered front' the violations of law, the dragonading of entire States, the : ' suspension of the writ of habeas ; corpus, tne oreaKing. up pi jjegisia- jtures- by armed despotism, the coer- cioh of individuals, , $he prostitution of the ; ballot nnder the auspices of bayonets and military .satraps, will be the antipathy of Southern people to the arbitrary arrests in Ireland, the passage and j enf orcement cf coer cion acts, . and the violations of the liberty of the subject. . ' ! .; ! We do notl hesitate to say that the Liberal Government, has blundered greatly, in our belief in two particu lars. First, in .the passage and the manner .of., executing the : Coercion act ; and, second, in' the arrests . of ParneJI- Dillon and others iinder, that act?;f These are - great and.lnexcusa ble blunders, as we regard it. ..v tin - ' vny io we; say ;i so. J?irst, ' we answer, because, the aei itself l is un- . wise' excessive in its power, arbitrary in its sweep, is violative of the funda mental, inalienable .-j jright of every man living under a Government pro fessedly 5 liberal and free, : in . which civil liberty, has recognition. By the abases of the Coercion act the sub- -. ; ;;. . j ! ----- i? -' J---- - - ject has no jedress if he is arrested and imprisoned 'under that act. He is thrown into prison: and , no writ of Jicibeas - corpus j can extricate him. -: Thif gives' a new aspect; to the strag gle in Ireland! :It becomes a question of personai libery. ' In this connection let us quoteSome Jmstra tenccs f rom . an editorial in " the Balti more asRcj concerningf'the arbi traryr arrests in Ireland It says.

It is not "the readjustment of rents but the restitution of personal liberty,;" The situa tion resembles in many -respects the crisis . intbe English revolution of 1640, when the .

He has caused four : members of Parliament to be arrested 'under a special law, but not for vio lating actually any other law, butfor being a "suspect" -for being accused - of complicity in some way with such 1 violations. This will strike the intelligent-Southerner' as being a'gfeat! 'outrage and wrong. : We cannot refer to the other ques tion that concerns the Land act We 'have confined ourselves to' the; viohv' tions of the personal rights of free subjects. ; The British Government seems resolved ? that the Land law shall have a trial, and to that J end will use its great power. The chief prelates of the Irish Catholic Church are on the side of the law. Possibly two-thirds of the Irish people are hostile to the law and will refuse to pay rents. ' But our space- is more than np. ,: MORE CONCERNING OUR FORESTS. i A writer in the Charlotte Home and Democrat has an instructive- paper on v" The Forests 'of North. Carolina." He says in the opening : j ' The great variety of the forest-growth of North Carolina, surpassing that of any; other State in the Union, has long elicited the admiration of every intelligent observer: It, constitutes one of the most, attractive features of the landscape of Nature spread around us." ! ' ' i . 1 He then at length' describes the most valuable as well as the orna mental trees of dnr State.' He takes up the oaks first.' Of these there are nineteen species. He"sas : , , . ! : .

Government are significant. ; Englishmen can no more, afford . than ; can', Irishmen to have the personal liberty df subjects of thei Queen invaded or; abridged. The fact, that Mr.Parnell and a -dozen ' or more leaders have been, thrown into ! ; jail, -- and - under ; a special : act, and not under an old law.of the realm, and that, too, wttASutaTfyffence other than the i exercise of Free speech, is well calculated1 to, excite both fears and hostility. Secretary Forster pledged his - solemn ; word to the Liberals' who hesitated to support the Coercion act that it should never be employed in the suppression of the what Mr.; Forster said. . Kow we see ;this -very law r used for the very end for which it was promised it should never be' used. The aim now is to suppress the League, and its leaders -must either flee or. go to jprison. It is not to be wondered at that Ireland is convulsed." i ' ; " ' , J " ; We have been Jookinsr more ' into the Irish side of the question. -We jfihd certain Northern papers mostly Republican are ' misleading of ten i n their statements. They lean alto gether toj tbe' Government, and can' see no justice, or sense, or honesty, even in the Irish position. There is one. exception.' The ' Philadelphia sA.nxer icanj say s : ' : j ''No great agitation can be carried for ward without occasioning ' violent acts on the part of those who are especially excita ble to malevolence; and of .those who have been maddened by personal experience of the wrones which the movement seeks to iabolish. In; Ireland the latter class espe cially abounds, and is increasing every day. Far larger than, the list of agrarian out rages, is the list of evictions that have taken place since Mr. Forster became ! Secretary for Ireland, yery Irish newspaper and we see many brings details of the destruction of humble; - homes ! ' and the expulsion of, the , tenants ; from lands endeared to them by long possession much longer in many cases than the landlord's tenure of his estate. . There has been a grea haste in this work since the terms of the Land act were published and its passage was fore seen. . The worse class of landlords have,, been availing themselves of every legal ad-' vantage to strip their lands of tenants, be fore these can acquire rights under the act. in hope that ; the new Land Courts will in cline to their side of the case ; It is such men as these evicted tenants, who have bassed the limit of action fixed by the League, and; have sullied the whole popu lar movement by the retaliation of illegal upon legal violence." ' We are assured that no act of vio lence is justified by the League but is in contravention of its teachings. The League means to agitate within the limits of the law.' Passive re sistance is its " plan arid' ' watchword. We' do' hot understand how as good and great a man as , Gladstone is can justify hi.
