John Mitchel Dies at Age Amid Paradoxical Patriotism
The telegraph reports the death of John Mitchel, aged and frail, a figure seen as both agitator and patriot. Banished from Ireland, he found refuge in Virginia where he supported constitutional freedom, later recalled to Ireland to join Parliament but denied a seat as death ended the debate. His defenders and foes recall a complex life shaped by loyalties to land and country, with a note that one English peer faulted him for backing the South in the Civil War. May his spirit rest in peace.

Georgia repeals crop lien law shifting cash down trade. Atlanta Herald notes wholesale grocery pain but predicts long term benefit. Raleigh News cites Richmond friends harming North Carolina interests on the language issue.
