THE IRISH TROUBLES
The arrival of the Irish agitators
Parnell, Dillon and Davit, on the
steamer Scythta,, in New York on the
2d inst, and the object of their niission
to this country, atthis time, makes the start, free of debfe
condition of Ireland of peculiar inter
est just now. " '" - ' "
The peculiarly impulsive, and warm
hearted nationality of the Irishman,
his forgetf ulness of the past, and his
hopefulness of the future, and even his
short-sightedness if we may so term it,
has caused him for generations to live
from hand to mouth in his own country.-In
days of prosperity he has re
joiced, and when adversity, war or
famine has come upon him he has
never been prepared for them, except
to meet and contend with them with
all the bravery and chiyalry of his im
petuous nature. His roving nature has
made him cosmopolitan, for in every
clime may be found Irishmen who re
member the "ould counthry" with tears
of joy. in their annual festivals, and
especially on St. Patrick's day. In pro
portion to the number of her people
Ireland has furnished more immigrants
to America than any other European
country, and as settlers in other parts
of the world, especially in the United
States, the Irish have proved very use
ful and industrious in various kinds of
manual occupations, while not a few,
like Charles O'Connor, have marked the
civilization in which they lived. The
appeal now being made to America is
in earnest because of absolute distress,
and we trust it will not go unheeded
among the people of the United Stateo,
where long since all distinction and dif
ferences between the original races of
our people have disappeared, or been
merged or blended into a characteristic
American nationality.
To understand the present condition
of Ireland, it is only necessary to say
that the potato crop failed last season.
Here this crop is comparatively insig
nificant; there it has been the staple
crop for centuries. The Irish potato,
though American, became nationalized
and received its baptismal name among
the bogs of the "Emerald Isle." It is
there that this esculent grows to its
greatest perfection, and it is only there
that the "pertatie" is a staple dish for
every meal in the day, throughout the
year. Owing to this cause the people of
Ireland from all accounts are suffering
as terribly as they did from famine and
fever in 1847 that memorable year
which saw our ships leaving for their
shores laden with corn, and returning
to us with the first wave of that won
derful tide of Celtic immigration which
then set in, and which has done so much
to enrich and strengthen us, and ex
tend our boundaries and advance our
civilization.
But this is not alL If the stories and
speeches of the "agitators" are to be
believed, the common classes of people
are suffering from the extortions of un
relenting landlords. Comparatively
few of the cultivators of the soil there
own a fee simple in the land. This is
owned by proprietors, many of whom
reside in England, and who only visit
their estates to collect their rents.
Contracts of lease have been entered
into, which in ordinary years have
probably been reasonable enough, but
when hunger and want are pinching
the blanched cheeks of one-fourth of
the population because of the bad sea
son last year, it has been found to be
impossible to meet the obligations al
ready incurred.
The Irishman, naturally quiet and
peaceable, in times of ordinary pros
perity, is unreasonable in adversity.
His combative propensities are imme
diately aroused, and he wants to fight
somebody hence jWe have the riots and
outbreaks of violence which has mark
ed the character of the people since the
days when flourished the military
brotherhood of FianaErion, command
ed, according te Irish lejnd, by Frein
McCooil. At present in addition to the
distress of actual famine the native
and resident Irishman's blood is up to
fever heat It is true he is only "agita
ting" just yet, but it won't take long to
get up to the fighting pitch unless the
cause for grievance is adjusted.
The history of Irish oppression by
English "princes is long, dark and
bloody, but it finally ended about the
beginning of the present century, in
the submerging of Irish nationality in
to that of Great Britain. Since that
time the people of Ireland, living un
der statutes enacted by a British Par
liament, with a majority always large
ly against them, have had much cause
of complaint, in the enactment of laws
inimical to their interest, and the pres
ent ebullitions of public opinion are
due in a large degree to that cause.
There is no cessation in the gratify
ing revival of business throughout
the country, which goes a great way to
demonstrate the permanent character
of the improvement. The clearing-house
returns for the week ending the 25th
ultimo show, as compared with the cor
responding week last year, an increase
at New York. of 5&2 per cent; Chica-
go, 40.6 ; Boston, 37.9 ; Philadelphia, 55.6 ;
Cincinnati, 27.06 ; St Louis, 20.05 ; Bal
timore, 28; Pittsburg, 33.8.
The Legislature of Alabama will not
meet for a year, and Governor Cobb
will have the appointment- of 9 a suc
cessor to Senator Houston, who will
occupy i8eat to the .Senate until
the j Genera Assembly convenes.
Among 1 the'' 'candidates "for the
place are L. P. Walker, J. L. Pugh, W.
IL Forney and ex-Congressman Brad-2
ford. It is thought the first or last
named will be chosen. f

To-day is Sunday, and we have just
entered the threshold of a new yerr.

has necessarily -been assumed, the next
best thing is to ascertain its extent and
begin .the work of discharging it Un
der our homestead laws many men de
liberately make debts which they hare J
no intention of discharging, and, under
the delusive theory that all men are
honest many business men allow oth
ers to become their debtors, when a
proper consideration of the character of
such debtor, would forbid the selling of
goods to that person on credit An
honest man will try to pay a debt de
liberately contracted, where a just and
liberal compensation has been received,
and where the obligation is met with
difficulty, as is sometimes the case with
the best of men, courageously confront
ing it and honestly endeavoring to dis
charge it will always command. the re
spect and nearly always the indulgence
of the creditor.
Another good resolution at the be
ginning of the year is to try and live
within your income. This, except in
case of misfortune, sickness, or some
other untoward event can nearly al
ways be done. Sometimes it may re
quire rigid economy.'and at others self
denial, but both will be found to have
been good investments, when settling

A third resolution, and one which will
make our Sunday sermon completers to
rpsolye to. practice that charity toward
the faults, the misfortunes or the foibles
of your neighbor which will adorn the
character of the brotherhood of man
kind. Undeserved charity may some
times be a crime, but better a thousand
such crimes than that a single instance
of deserved charity should be neglected.

Fabmxngton, Jan. 3. Louis, Demo

justice to those who have been dis
franchised of their seats. It is known
that no official orders were ever receiv

Destructive Fire in Baltimore
Baltimore, Jan. 3. At noon to-day
the fire steamers are still throwing
streams of water on cotton stored in a
warehouse of Thurston, Harris & Co.,
on uucnanan street, wmcn iook nre
early last night Little over 3000 bales
of cotton were in the warehouse,-of
which Jno. Merryman & Co., dealers in
fertilizers, owned 2,600 bales, which
were fully insured. It is estimated
that the loss on cotton will be fully
60 percent The warehouse, belonging
to the Lemraoii heirs, which will te
almost a total loss. It was insured for
$20,000.
Randolph & Jenks, a Philadelphia
firm, cotton brokers, had about 1,100
bales stored in th warehouse, said to be
fully insured. Win. E. Hooper & Sons,
of Baltimore, lost about 140 bales, in
sured. Several warehouses adjoining
were stored with grain, flour and other
produce, which was damaged bv water.
but to what extent cannot be ascer

David Dows & Co., damaged in grain,

A Little Coincidence.
NSwTorkSm.;' - fiy, '.
This we read in the chronicles of
Grant's recent visit to Washington : -u
"It happened as Gen.: Grant entered

church) that the choir was; singing the
"TeJDeutn Laudamtts f he sa metohich

of wales at at. Paul s Cathedral arter

some years ago, ancLrthe same which
was sung upon th. entrance .of JSapo-

Thus with, the names or the next
Kin er of En eland and Emperor of India
and of JN apolean are associated thoughts
or tien. want, or course, as the chron
icle says, "it happened."

These things all happen. But those
who make them happen are courtiers
well acquainted with the weaknesses
and the vaulting ambition of the Third
Term candidate.
Little things are often indicative of
great things. If Grant were ever again
President, and by virtue of that office
commander-in-chief of the army and
