Patrick Walsh was born in Balliii-
pary, connty of Limerick, Ireland, on
January 1st, 1840. With his fathsf
and family he moved to America, ar
rived at Charleston, S. C. t in 1852.
At the age of 13 c years he was appren,
ticed to l he Courier office to learn
the typo’s trade- At 18 he hecarah,a
journeyman printer, alter whioh.jhe
pursued his studies in the Charleston
High School; in the afternoon and
ening setting type in the office of
the Southern Christian Advocate. In
1859 he went to Georgetown College,
District of Columbia, where be re
mained until South Carolina, in the,
following year, seceded from the
Union. Hemming to Charleston, Mr.
Walsh entered the Confederate ser
vice, in lull sympathy with the cause
of his Stale and of his adopted conn*
try. Ho joined the Meagher Guard,
attached to the First Regiment of the
Carolina Rifle Militia, then perform,
ing duty on 8ullivan’s Island. After
the bombardment of Fort Sumter the
name of the company was changed to
the “Emerald Light Infantry,’’ in
hich l.o served with the rank o-
Lientenant until the company and regf
intent were disbanded. Removing
shorty afterwards to Augusta, Ga.,
Mr. Walsh felt tbe need of contiuir
ing the work which the war had seri-
onsly interrupted. His lather and
mother were largely dependent upon
his efforts, as were his brothers in the
army needing all the assistance he
could give. He entered the office of
the Daily Constitutionalist, working
at the case, beginning the profession
of journalism, like Bayard Taylor and
Horace Greeley, equipped with a prac
tical knowledge ol its details, and
trained in the rudiments or the voces
tion. Working his way np in the of.
flee by steady skill and unflagging
spirit, he became in January. 1863,
the local editor, of the Constitutionals
ist—filling in torn every department
in the condnct of then, the most in
fluential journal in the South. He
contributed largely to the news and
editorial columns of the paper, and
misted in shaping its policy during
those eventful days. In 1864 Mr.
Wnlsb became associated with Mr. L
T. Bionic in tlie publication of the Pa.
eifientor, which was a weekly paper
of extensive circulation through the
South. He was also one of the edi»
tors and proprietors of the Banner of
the South, to which Father Kvan cons
tribute'! so much of poetic patriotism
and wise counsel. Continuing with
the Conslilutioualist. however, Mr.
Walsh became in 1S66 Southern
Agent of the New York Associated
Press. The former organization,
formed by the co-operation of the five
great dailies of New York city, ex
tended their telegraphic news service
over the Western Uuion t
throughout the South Atlantic
Gulf States. Mr. Walsh was made
Superintendent of the Southern divis
ion, with several States in hit jurisdic
tion, and has continued to be a valued
aid of Mr. J. W. Simonton, the Gens
cral Agent of New York. Mr Walsh

Miriness manager of the Chronicle
and Sentinel of Augusta, then publish

Moote and Gen. A. R. Wright. Up

ntump in some places daring the
Hampton campaign, and assisted in
the victory which followed.
Mr. JValsh has occupied several pub- j
lie offices. In 1870 and 1871 he was
elected a member of the City Council
of Augusta, and was identified with
important interests in the city. In
1872 he was elected to the General
Assembly of Georgia as Representa
tive from Richmond county; re-elected
in 1874 aud again in 1876. In the
Legislature, as everywhere, Mr.
Walsh took an earnest interest in ev -
erything going on. Aa he was one
of the most active workers iu the me-
moraltlo election of 1870 which re
deemed the State from its political
enemies; so he was one of the roost
wide awake legislators in reforming
the work of the Slate government.
He served upou important committees,
and distinguished himself upon the
floor by bis vigilant, earnest open
manner, and outspoken, honest senti
ments. He contributed largely in tbe
House toward submitting the question
of a Constitutional Convention to the
topic. Ho was never a trimmer,
e is either an ardent supporter or a
sturdy opponent. He deals in no
ruse or dip'otnacy. He has the man-
lit-ess to defend or the nerve to con
demn, according to hi* conviction.
He supports strong judgment and
positive conviction with courage and
backbone. He cannot be either bribed
bulldozed. He realizes as thor
oughly as any man, that
u To aide with truth ia noble, what we share
her wretched crust,
Ere her cease bring fine and profit, and His
prosperous to be just.”
Immovable as a rock to opposition,
he possesses the warmest of hearts to
appeal. A request from a friend, a
return for a favor, a call for sympathy,
a cry for charity finds a heart ns im
pulsive as it is unselfish rad suscepti
ble. With ‘ a hand open os day for
melting charily,’ hia kindness is pro
verbial in tbe community in which he
lives. Not a tew voting men in Au
gusta can testify to his ready genet-
osity. He is connected with one or
two benevolent associations ;is public-
spirited in all thj^L affects tho welfare
of Augusta, the prosperity of Georgia,
of Carolina, and ot the South; he is
liberal to all parties and sections;
looks with hope and interest npon the
struggles of his mother country-, and
is only intolerant of—intolerance. In
all mailers of pclitiui and of religion
lie is entirely, constitutionally liberal.
His paper is contributed to by every
pastor in Augusta. Iu August last
Mr. Waisti was a delegate from his
county to the State Democratic Con
vention. Ilia course upon that floor
was id itoine degree .typical of
reeroftheman. Tbe first thing
characterized him on tbe floor of this
oonveoiion, wsslti# tUtaltetaMe hoa-
viction-. He seemed fully persuaded
ol Gov. Colquitt’s claims, and that be
was the choice of the people. Then
deve'oped his entire devotion to 'the
cause. Never had an officer fQ loyal
a champion. He worked night aud
day for the re-nominaHtm of the Gov
ernor, and was faithful and untiring in
the presentation of his case. He even
repelled all overtures for his
inatiou, and^Mnoained, true to .his
choice. Hi* judgment was tkartt'ka-
displayed in counseB
rnor’s friends where he took
ig \
one; but these hard-working add well-
trained young men maintained a
journal which surpassed tbe former
record of the old and popular pa;ier.
Such a display ot skill, ability and de
termination has seldom been manifest
ed in Georgia journalism. Tim syin
pat by of the public, however, was
theirs. Their subscription fists grew
and their influence widened. Iu five
years thejr paper paid for itself oul of
its own earnings, its reputation was
established and its stability insured.
So strongly bad the Chronicle A Sen*
linel been built up that in the early

the Consutnlionaliat to consolidate,

Messrs. Walsh & Wright continued

thoroughly possessed the confidence
and admiration of his younger part

propriety in conducting the editorial
columns, and between the tfvp pp ^ifs

Tub death of Hon. Fernando Wood,
at Hot Springs, last Sunday night,
takes from the democratic party ooe
of its oldest leaders. For two-soore
years, perhaps, he has been a promi

member of the present Congress, and
had been re-elected tor the next. He
has ever been regarded as one of the
sttongest men in the House.
New Orleans is not such an un
healthy. place after all, if this state

New Orleans for 1880 was 22.7, which
is about the same as London, and bet

questions nffecting Ireland. ’ • ,i
The delay ,in the assembling of
Parliament not only prolonged the
agitation ih Ireland, but served to
embolden the leaders and to prepare
them for violent measures when Par
liament should come together. Ac
cordingly, tip sooner was the Queen’s
speech read than'they manifested a
spirit of factions opposition to the
Government in view of the rigid meas
ures which it was well known would
be brought forward tar the suppress
ing the practical rebellion against law
that was becoming more and more
rife in ‘the unhappy island. When
those measures were announced by
the Government, the Irish leaders set
themselves at once to prevent all such
legislation, by adopting what are
known as parliamentary tactics, maks
ing repeated motions of adjournment,
raising questions of order and privia
lege Rnd the like, which according to
ilsage lake the precedence of all other
propositions, and which, if persisted in,
as was intended, musteifectnnlly pres
vent all legislative action. The right
to demand the “previous question’’
does not exist in the British Parlia
ment, and there seems to be no au
thority by which the oltstructioniscs
could be checked and legislation ad
vanced. | j , I t
After deliberation on the part of
majority, encouraged also by the as
surance of support from the conserva
tives, the Speaker took the responsi
bility of arresting these proceedings
by refusing to allow mere dilatory
motions to come before the House;
and when one of the Irish leaders
persisted in demanding the attentlou
of the House, in opposition to tbe
Speaker, he was suspended for the
session and removed by the sergeant-
at-arms. The same course was pur
sued with other obstructionists, and
tit length on Thursday ‘last, amid
great commotion, thirty-five of the
Irish members, including Mr. Parnell,
were suspended and removed by the
police. Their few English sympa
thizers who remained did not take'up
the same role; but allowed the major
ity to proceed with the, business be-
‘ re them, * .
The' real revolutionists, the Irish
aoitatma, have thus compelled the
Government party to adopt unusual
measures. It ia : .conceded that the
Speaker was not inyasted yvith the
arbitrary authority which he exercised
ih arresting ’ the ordinary course of
Parliamentary proceedings; bat what
could-be done? Hen* was a mere
handful of men,, who, at home had
been stirring np the people, not only
to defy the officers' of the law; but to
shoot them dotib whenever they at<

up in. Parliament and in tbe. same

There is an agricultural Job in Sib

hopper plague, said: “Year after

swoop dotvn and take it all. But I
never flinched.’ That wheat was the

pretty tough, though, when I got 80
poor that I couldn’t bny'seed;, but
then the State Aid Society sent me
some, and when lots of the farmers
were selling out their lands to land
sharks, I took'the seed and sowed it,
just as confident-like as thongh I’d
always bad good crops, and I said
when I got it all done: “I’ll trust
Him though He slay nte.’’ My neigh
bors said I was "a - toot, but I only
smiled and looked to God, and that
year I raised ,ei* hundred bushels ;of
wheat and. was .well-to-do again. ; The
grasshopper plague was taken away,
and I'says 'to'iny neighbors, says I:
“Don’t you see it is bettor to trust
