conclusion. They will have another
caucus this afternoon.
The Senate is considering Pardee.
The Democrats will vote solid for Par
dee, and unless some postponement
dodge is sprung his confirmation is
conceded. The debate will probably
last an hour.
Senate discussed Pardee all day. A
result was not reached and very doubt
ful. Pardee’s friends are not so con
fident.
Republican Senators caucused an
hour aud a half and agreed to resolu
tion somewhat differently phrased from
Frelinghuysen’s, but in effect endor
sing what the President has done to
Louisiana, aud giving senatorial sanc
tion to the same course. Three Re

A Civil Righter Come to Grief.
A rather black man, giving his name
as John Hunter, appeared at the Police
Court, and asked for a warrant against
Carter A. Stewart, the well-k nown
colored barber and hairdresser at Wil
lard’s, for alleged violation of the
provisions of the Civil Rights bill. His
request was refused because barber
shops are not included in the schedule
of iuus, theatres, etc. He then ap
peared before District Attorney
Fisher, and that officer made out the
information, at the same time inform
ing him that the case did not, in his
opinion, come under the law, aud on
this information he asked for a war
rant, which was a second time refused.
He charges that on Wednesday last he
went to Stewart’s barber shop and
asked that his liair be trimmed, but
Stewart refused to allow it to be done
in his shop, on the ground that waiting
on colored men would injure the busi
ness of the establishment.

Charleston, March 19.—1n Columbia
tho trial of Treasurer Cardozo is in
progress before the Legislature. The
argument of counsel for the defense
was concluded to-day.
Speaker Elliott, of the House of Rep
resentatives. rules that Gov. Chamber
lain’s veto of the bill to settle the fund
ing debt of the State is void, the bill
having become a law through the Gov
ernor's failure to return it within the
specified time. This view being oppos-
ed by the Governor’s supporters, the
matter was referred to the J udiciary
Committee, who report that they are
unable to agree upon the status of the
bill.
The Legislature, yesterday, ordered
the arrest of Thompson, the editor of
the Columbia Union-Herald, for con
tempt, but released him to-day.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY.
Address of Hon. O. A. Lochrane.
Ladies and Gentlemen : When we
stand before an audience to speak of
Ireland the inspiration of the theme
moves us with historic glory, and we
draw from the great sources of the
past an opulence of incidents which
embarrasses us in tbe selection by
their very richness and variety. Every
branch of thought we turn to is laden
with buds and perfume, and every step
we take is over fields that sparkle with
the memory of poetry and song. There
is something in the national standard
illustrative of the genius and character
of our people, for while other nations
are emblematized by ensigns of
strength, or pride, or powe", Ireland
floats to the breeze on her sea of green,
the harp, fit emblem of the "music
which fills the national heart and over
flows the land in a
RAIN OF MELODY.
We do not envy England her lions
and unicorns ; let them roar with the
echoes of her morning dreams as they
beat around the world. We prefer
“jThe harp that once through Tara’s hall
The soul of music shed,”
as sweet as the strains of the harp of
gold, with which David soothed and
rolled away the mighty sorrows of
King Saul —and the sorrows of Ireland,
for she is the
NIOBE OF NATIONS.
have often melted in the music of her
people, and rolled away in the tide of
song in tiie ties of sympathy that unite
the conquered of all countries. There
is something peculiarly binding in the
sentiment which links the South with
Ireland ; for in the storm whieh swept
over us, and threw its shadows over
the homes and hearthstones of our
people, we can recall many a golden
and glorious incident to awake your
interest in the theme J shall presently
discuss. Two of the little curly-headed,
blue-eyed boys who wept ou John Mit
ch el’s breast as he was torn from his
dinner-tabie to a jail, on the 28th of
May, 1848, in the city of Dublin, fell
fighting under the “ Conquered Ban
ner,” the one at Charleston aud tho
other at Sbarpsburg, and the last sur
vivor stood with your own
GALLANT GORDON
on that f earful April day which wit
nessed the. surrender of his sword at
Appomattox. John Mitch el, thank God,
still lives, and by the will of the people
stands the proud representative, by
over 2,000 majority, of the proudest
county to-day under the sky of Ireland:
“ Lot Britain boast her British hosts
About her. All right. Little care we:
No British seas, nor British coasts
Can match the men of Tipperary.
Lead him to fight for native land,
His is no courage cold and wary;
The troops live not on earth would stand
Tho headlong charge of Tipperary.”
The spirit a liich animated them to
return John Mitchel to the House of
Commons shows that
“ Strongbow’s force and Henry’s wile,
Tudor’s wrath and Stewart’s guile.
And iron SttiiTord’s iron jaws,
And brutai Brunswick’s penal laws,”
have not bent or broken a single hope
of Irish faith in Irish nationality, nor
rooted out a single sentiment of the
love of Irish liberty, which shines
through centuries of oppression and
asserts itself with a flash of patriotism
to ligth up the land of the Irish. How
deeply we have all felt the tidings of
his illness, but we know, although
“He is pale, it is not fear that whitens
His proud white brow,
For the triumph of the martyr’s glory
brightens
Around him even now.”
Other names come rising before our
minds, whose deeds of daring side by
side with you on fields of fame, have
made them links to chain your sympa
thy and to the land that bore them.
From the breastworks of Franklin
there rose one spirit through the
cloud-craped arch to where angels met
him with tho palm, and circling him in
the golden glitter of their wings,
WELCOMED PAT CLEBURNE
into the halls of immortality.
“ Pat ‘Cleburne, Pat Cleburne, rain wears
away the rock,
And time will wear away the men who
stood the battle shock;
But even while one mau is left of all that
honored race,
In front of Irish cn ivalry will be Pat Cle
burne’s place.”
These links of sympathy will not
melt under the snows or time, but
rather in the heat of the heart be weld
ed into stronger and more enduring
sentiment, which under all times and
trials will stand as lasting as the im
mortal memories which cluster around
the fields where they perished. I come
here this St. Patrick’s day to arouse in
the hearts of Irishmen and the de
scendants of Irishmen a fresh love, a
purer flame of patriotism, a warmer,
grander pride in the blood that ani
mates you, and to stimulate a growth
of Irish nationality.
What if Ireland is fallen ? What if
the mistress of the navy has not. a sail
upon the sea, and the commander of
armies cannot muster a gun from
Carnsore point to the Galtees, or from
the Giant’s Causeway to Cape Clear ?
She is just as true and as proud as
when the balconies of Dame street
looked down on the battallions of
Charlemond and the artillery of Nap
per Tandy marching through the
streets of Dublm. What if the victor
of the Nile aud the Prince or Orange
stand,in the sculptured armament in
her national capital, and the
HEROES OF BENBARB AND CLONTARF
are unsung and unhonored? What if
Badenstowu and Glasnevin have epi
taphs unwritten ? Is Ireland the less
entitled to the respect and reward of a
world’s homage for the magnificence
of her struggles, and for the spirit,
though broken, “ that never would
bend,, that from the eighth century to
the nineteenth has fought both Danes
and Saxons, and still stands as ready
to do or die as when following O’Neill
at Willow . Ford, or at Athlone, or
Aughrim, or the Boyne water.
What if Ireland has fallen ? She has
kept the
GLORY OF THE NATIONAL HONOR
that never yet in front of war, dun
geons, scaffolds or exile bowed down to
acknowledge itself a slave.
Success is not thp only thing that
demands respect. Nations may lose
what their valor achieved, but the glory
of the achievement remains imperish
able. Power may command the false
hood of history to adorn its acts, aud
senate houses may echo to the tramp
of battalioned despotism. The bravest
may stagger under the blows of supe
rior numbers and may fall under the
weight of brute force; but the writh
ings of agony may, too, soon assume
the attitude of vengeance, and the hand
that wipes away tears may be clenched,
and in the destiny of nations the stone
A.TTGHTST.A., GLY., SATUKDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1875.
the builders rejected may become the
chief corner-stone. The sword of
O’Neill may be broken, and Tyrrecon
nell’s battle-axe eaten with rust, and
yet—and yet
“THERE’S LIFE IN THE OLD LAND YET.”
I come now to lift the curtain and
ask your attention to what she can
point to as monuments of her ancient
glory—the imperishable achievements
which have crowned her—and the
memories that waken in every Irish
man’s heart a glow of pride which he
would not surrender, although he had
to walk through a lane fenced with
scaffolds on one side and hedged with
bayonets ou the other.
Though our old nobility has been
scattered to the waves and winds, until,
as Swift said, “If you would find an
cient gentry of Ireland you must seek
them on the coal quay or the liberties,”
the then lands were confiscated and
given to “one of the bloods.” For
Henry li granted to only five Irish
families the rights of property and the
right to live in the county, aud yet this
did not break or bend a single thought
of Irish nationality. In the 28th year
of Henry VIII, it was enacted that the
English should not marry with any one
of Irish blood without first doing treaty
with tho king in chancery, and giving
bond with sureties that he would re
main a loyal subject. What a compli
ment this was to the Irish women.—
Eulogy may exhaust itself upon their
beauty and purity ; may exult in the
fair fame which encircles them, for
THE ROBE OF SNOW
which angels hung upon their cradles,
they have worn untarnished through
life, and bore as ascension robes to im
mortality, but not all that eulogy may
utter can pay them a higher compli
ment. I thank you, my country women,
that your loyalty to the old land was
so marked by love that laws were enact
ed against its influence. The Earl of
Desmond was the first to break its law,
and Desmond to Ireland is always
honored. But how utterly stupid aud
foolish it was, and how ridiculous the
result, for when the King fell asleep at
Westminster, the Irish were just as
strong in their faith and hope, and
neither confiscation nor penal laws nor
tyrant power subdued the Irish love
for Irish kith and kin.
Three hundred and eighty-five thous
sand acres of land alone in Ulster was
divided among English and Scottish
settlers and carpet-baggers from the
army, and 146 peers were created to
represent the dignitaries, and 40 close
buroughs to vote as required. Now,
cau my friends blame the Irish for not
reading Burke’s Irish Peerage with the
veneration to titles which ordinarily is
felt for that graceful aud pillared
architrave of the British constitution,
the Peerage.
We have nothing to say against the
hereditary rights of those who, on flood
and field, have won the titles which
adorn the grandest names that have
rolled in fame over the hearts of con
tinents. The thought I present is on
the theory of ennobling a set of
SCENTED, TITLED THUNDERERS,
whose only merit consisted in enacting
scenes of cruelty against those who
were fighting for their own, and whose
lordships have never to this hour ob
tained the popular recognition that
they were lords at all.
They may drive in crimson cushion
ed chariots with the livery of lordlings,
but the common people—who were
swept, as under Tichbourne, from Mo
naghan to Drogheda—feel none of that
homage which rises from the heart at
the sight of one of the native, natural
and national nobility of the country.
In this sentiment the world partici
pates. We feel assured that among
this audience not one recognizes tho
right of war to plunder property, and
not one assents to the clothing in pur
ple and fine linen the adventurers who
followed William or Cromwell iu their
track of blood over the fairest portions
of Ireland.
The descendants of the Welch race
may feel a glow of pride in the spirit
that has lit up the patriotism of a peo
ple poor in everything but their honor,
and who, under all the trampling of
hordes and hosts, have felt what Bish
op Higgins so proudly uttered at Mul
lengar, in responte to the threats of
bayonets and coercive acts: “Wo
will,” said he,
“ PREPARE OUR PEOPLE FOR THE SCAFFOLD,
and bequeath our wrongs to posterity.”
This is the spirit which has made the
Irish strong, and found the utterance
from the mother of the Spears, when
bidding good-bye to her sons under the
shadows of the scaffold.” “It was far
this,” said she, “ I bore you, that you
might die like men.” This was the
thought that inspired the great O’Brien
when under sentence of death he
wrote: •
•
“ Whether.on the scaffold high,
Or in the battle’s van,
The fittest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man.”
It was the same spirit
WHICH ANIMATED MITCHEL,
when from the dock he saio : “ I do
not regret anything I have done;”
that made John Martin, at the point of
transportation, exclaim, “ I cannot con
descend to accept mercy ;” that made
O’Brien say, “ I am prepared to abide
the consequences of having
PERFORMED MY DUTY
to my native land—proceed with your
sentence ;” that made Meagher, in a
burst of sympathetic eloquence say,
“ I am here to regret nothing I have
ever done, to retract nothing I have
ever said. lam here to crave with no
lying lip the life I consecrate to the
liberty of my country. Far from it.
Even here, here, where tho thief, the
libertine, the murderer, have left their
footprints in the dust; here on this
spot, when the shadows of death sur
round me, and from whieh I see my
early grave in an unannointed soil open
to receive me—even here, encircled by
these terrors, the hope which has
beckoned me to the perilous sea upon
which I have been wrecked, still con
soles, animates, enraptures me. To
lift this island up, to make her a ben
efactor to humanity, to restore to her
her native powers and her ancient con
stitution—this has been my ambition,
and this ambition has been my crime.”
These are the sentiments you will
find sprinkled through the dearest
pages of Irish history’, aud these are
THE MEN OF MEN,
whose names we cherish, whose hero
ism we laud, whose glory we loudly
and tnumphantly proclaim. Irishmen
and sons of Irishmen, have we not, in
the past, a great cloud of witnesses to
e spirit of that little island, which
s f™ 5° us *"kis day, and whose glory
still lights us to resistance if not to
\ ictory. The Irish, in their struggle
for liberty and local government, have
wrestled with power down the high
way of history, and though her liber
ties have been cloven down and her
crown lies under the surges of the
Boyne water, yet, thank God, the i
spirit of her people remains unbroken, |
and
THE PRINCIPLE OF SELF-GOVERNMENT
remains unaltered ; and we may justly
challenge history, •
And let it place beside our own the world’s
vast page, ter tell
That never lived a nation yet could rule
another well.
This, at least, has been the great
fight of Ireland, for the nation has ral
lied her clans and swept across the
powers and principalities that have
from age to age resisted her. The
present is but the silence of preparation
for another effort. Hopeless may be,
but no less the exhibition of Ireland
that her lost cause still commands an
advocate whose patriotism shines the
more resplendent from the very rock
it lights its impassioned hand to strike.
The politic and worldly-wise may de
nounce its folly; statesmanship may
deplore its impotence and assault, but
it at least shows the
MANHOOD OF THE PEOPLE.
No nation appreciates it more fully
than that under whose skies we stand
as adopted citizens, and when the pas
sions and prejudices of the hour have
been forgotten, and when the great
heart-beats of tho people pulsate from
shore to shore with the life-blood of
American nationality, then the spirit of
revolutionary memories will be remem
bered with pride, and the glow and
glory of American fame, the
NAMES OF LEE, AND JOHNSON, AND STONE
WALL JACKSON,
will be recorded iu the sounds of kin
dred spirit, and go surging down the
highway of American nationality for
ever. Oh, America! away off in the
dim and distant future I can see the
spirit of liberty return to the Constitu
tion like a dovo over the waste of wa
ters again to shelter within the ark. I
can see peace once more smiling ou tho
field, and by the firesides ol our people.
I can see the quiet of peace no longer
echoing to the sabres of cavalry or the
tramp of armed men. I can see your
cluster of States great and inde
pendent, aud crowning a civilization
whose light will
OVERFLOW HISTORY WITH GLORY.
I can see the sweep of commerce
around your coasts, aud the smoke of
homes curling to the sky from the far
thest shadows of Western empires. I
can see churches lifting their spires to
heaven, and the whole land bathed in
a glory of hope and happiness that will
render you the pride aud the example
of the world, and when that day red
dens in the East, none will hail it with
higher or holier aspirations than those
who gazed upon it from the gem of the
Western world ! Though Ireland may
still languish on her bed of sickness,
and may have only ruins and her mem
ories, she will cheer from her moun
tain heights, and rejoicing will go
through her valleys like a song. But
the day we celebrate me that
we have come to talk of Ireland, and
the banner you bear reminds me that
the memories of Ireland are not only
heroic, but the whole land is covered
with ruins that may be read
EPITAPHS OF GLORY
that speak of Mellifont and Holy Cross,
Cashel and Altheury, KilconneJl, Lis
more, Glendalough and Armagh. They
speak of the banquet halls of Tara,
whose lords aud ladies, bright in the
flowering of the nation’s pride, listened
to the flood of song which melted iu a
stream of poetry the patriotism and
power which made the harp of Tara
immortal. But, alas for our country ;
even her ruins have been desecrated
by the touch of the spoiler. At Mele
font a modern corn mill has been built
out of the stones of that beautiful edi
fice. At Cloumacnoise, its sacred slabs,
covered with inscriptions in the ancient
Welsh, were torn away to adorn some
modern improvement; two or three of
the seven churches, with their beauti
ful carvings, have been leveled to the
ground,and some of them may be found
in the architraves of Derrybawn bridge
while villagers play ball against the
walls of the church. St. Kevin’s Kit
chen is almost forgotten, while the
ruins of Glendalough have been carried
away in wholesale by the visitors from
Dublin. But they still speak, in their
very silence, of centuries. They excite
the noblest passion, aud fill the mind
with
PICTURES OF GLORY,
telling us that “ this country of ours is
no sand bank,” but is an aucient laud,
with a history running back to the very
edges of civilization, and spreading out
into the circles of the earlist times.
Every heart here recalls some spot
sainted by memory, some venerable
wall overhanging with ivy, where he
sat down in the shadows and named
over the scenes of th<? past. How many
of us to-day have crossed the Atlantic,
in thought, and visited the place which
will know us no more forever. Even
when speaking to you my o n has
traveled to the Blackwater, and I have
been roaming through Crief Keerau
cjistle and tho green hills of Kough,
and in the spirit of boyish pride again
drowning my shamrock at my father’s
fireside in Middletown. Not. a spot of
the twelve million acres of Irish eartii
but has to-day been visited from some
quarter of the globe ; and what a land
of loveliness rises before our memory ;
the green hills and sparkling rills ; the
deep-foliaged trees and waving flowers
of flax fields, and golden toss of wheat
and oat fields to the playing winds.
How many recall the hedges where
they looked for birds’ nests aud the
fields where they used to play; the cot
tage door fast by the wild wood ; the
song that rose at night around the turf
fire under the Irish sheiling ; the fiddle
and the bag-pipes, aud the dance and
the courtship, and the eyes that spar
kled, and the mouth with its string of
pearlets and the voice with its.
SWEET WORDS AND SWEET SMILES,
and blood with crimson speech upon
the cheek, that told of love. All these
crowd around us and melt us back into
childhood, and bring up a groat gush
of feeling to beat against our hearts at
the touch of memory. Mysterious
memory, by what silver key do you
unlock the chambers of the heart, and
let out thoughts which have beenslum
bering, and bring back to life the dim
and shadowy forms tho mists of time
had obscured; in thy mystic magic wo
walk through the years that have flown,
aud feel the clash of hands and the
press of lips, and hear the whisper of
voices, and over us spreads the white
moonlight that glittered from Irish
skies, and the lanes of white thorn be
come people, and little feet fall as soft
as snow falling on snow walk beside us
iu companionship.
Mysterious memory with what
POTENCY OF FEELING
you bring back from the white depths
of the soul its earliest thoughts and
purest, tenderest emotions —with what
magic touch you lift the veil that cur-
tains the legendary love and lyrical ro
mances of our country, and in the
dreary light trickling from the stars,
we look for the red cap of the Lepra
chaun or the wail of the Banshee.
But leaving these memories, we re
turn to glance at a few pages of his
tory, presenting the evidence upon
which the Irish heart feels the saddest
sentiment. That I may not be charged
with exaggeration, and that I may not
weary you, I present a copy of the
ORIGINAL DISPATCH SENT BY CROMWELL
to the Speaker of the House of Com
mons, on the 16th of September, 1649:
“It has pleased God to bless our en
deavors at Drogheda. After battering
we stormed it. The enemy were about
three thousand strong in the town. I
believe we put the whole number of
the defendants to tbe sword. Ido not
think thirty of the whole number es
caped with their lives, and those that
did are in safe custody for the Barba
does—thus hath been a marvellously
great mercy. Ido not believe, neither
do I fear that any officer escaped with ■
his life save one lieutenant. I wish
that all honest hearts may give the
glory to God alone, to whom, indeed,
the praise of the mercy belongs—for
instruments they were very inconsid
erable to the work throughout.
“O. Cromwell.”
On the 2d of October following this
was laid before Parliament, a day of
thanksgiving was ordered, a letter of
thanks voted, and the execution ap
proved. This is the record, and we
need not quote Lord Clarendon, in
which he states “the garrison threw
down their arms, and that Cromwell
entered without resistance, and that all
the citizens who were Irish, men, wo
men and children, were slaughtered.”
Leland corroborates the statement, and
tl*e Marquis of Ormond, iu his letter to
the King, says that “on this occasion
Cromwell excelled himself and every
thing he ever heard of in breach of
faith and bloody inhumanity, and that
the cruelties for five days after the
town was taken would make as many
several pictures of inhumanity as the
book of Marquis or the relation of Am
boyna.”
I am not unaware that this scene
does not stand without its precedent or
parallel in Irish history, and that fiend
ish crucify, treachery, rapacity and
terrorism might be brought to our as
sistance to establish the fact. But my
purpose is not to dwell among devasta
tion, but to exhibit the spirit of a peo
ple who
MET WITH UNFALTERING PATRIOTISM
even wholesale butchery, and yet never
surrendered an iota of their faith or
their nationality. There is* some
thing mystical and majestical in this
quenchless love whieh has no exhaus
tion in the tears or troubles in which it
is tested. The exiles that Cromwell
transported to the Barbadoes, even
under the fervency of its blazing suns
poured forth in the words of Campbell
their love for Ireland—
Oh! Erin, my country, though sad and for
saken,
In dreams I revisit thy sea-beaten shore,
But, alas! in a far, foreign land I awaken,
And think of the friends who will see me
no more!
The emigrants who left Limerick
were warriors whose battle blade
flashed in 1 he face of foes, and lifted to
laureled fame many an ancient Celtic
name. The brigade who met their foe
at Fontenoy has been immortalized by
the verses of Thomas Davis, one of the
brightest intellects that was tempered
in the heat of agitation which shook
Ireland under the struggle for repeal,
and whose songs, written to inspire
military ardor, remain among the
sweetest reminiscences of that great
event. Down the columns of the Na
tion newspaper flashed the pens of
Mitchell, Meagher. Davis, Kelly, and a
host of others ; but no pen was dipped
moje deeply into the
PASSION AND POETRY
of the people than his, and none more
gracefully twiued the arms of song
around the sainted spots of Irish his
tory.
There is a blending of faith with feel
ing, of piety and poetry in the Irish
heart, which has made her sons strong
in the atmosphere of memories, which
act like an inspiration upon their lives.
When Sarsfield lay under a July sun
on the field of his fame at Lauden, as
he watched with dying gaze the blood
oozing through his fingers, “ Oh!
would,” said he, “this were for Ire
land.” And when I wrote a letter of
compliment to Gen. Cleburne for his
vindication of the Irish name, his re
ply from Jonesboro was inspired by
the same sentiment, for said he, “I am
more sensible of the good opinion of
my countrymen than that of all the
world beside.” And this is the inspira
tion that breathes itself into the Irish
character under every vicissitude of
fortune. The spots iu history where
Irishmen have disregarded the influ
ence of patriotism have been marked
with extraordinary bitterness. Even
when the great Caulfield faltered with
the Irish volunteers of 1782 at his back
to carry out the creed preached at the
altar of Dungannon church, although
his fidelity was not doubted, the name
of Charleinont lost its magic power, for
iu his anxiety to conciliate he dissolved
the volunteers, and thus put out the
light of Ireland.
That rally of 1798 found its destruc
tion on the slopes of Tara, and Ireland’s
nationality, secured by the pledge at
the Treaty Stone of Limerick, was
broken. Peerages aud place, money
and patronage, consummated what war,
waging for centuries, had failed to ac
complish. One hundred and thirty
nine of the two hundred and fifty-four
members voted for the Union of 1800,
and their names have been - stamped
with unutterable execration. To re
peal this act has been the struggle of
Ireland, and in this struggle her great
est men have been born and baptized
to fame.
Sheridan in his great speech of the
7th of February, 1787, iu vindicating
the princess of Oude, may have excell
ed Curran in his efforts, from his first
speech in prosecuting Lord Doneraile
for beating Father Neal, down to his
last greatest effort against the Mar
quis of Herdfort, may have been grea
ter than Daniel O’Connell ; but from
his first debate in February, 1843, in
the Dublin corporation, aud from the
hill-side at Dundalk, or the monster
meeting at Athlone,
O’CONNELL STOOD IN THE POPULAR ESTEEM.
above them all. How the Duke of
Rovega wilted under his lash when he
opposed repeal as a landed proprietor.
When O’Connell retorted on him that
he reminded him of the poor Elazior,
who married one of the Macarthy'
Mores, and was in the habit of boast
ing that he was a born gentleman on
his wife’s side, and so it is, said O’Con
nell, with the poor Duke—he is a rich
landed proprietor on his wife’s side.
Disraeli would give half his salary,
25,000 a year, to forget the sting O’Con
nell flung at him ; that he was a hired
descendant of the unrepented thief that >
died on the cross. To the cause of re- '
peal O’Connell brought an unbounded
popularity. He was the idol of the peo
ple, the representative of its history,
its religion, its traditions, and under
his influence thousands marched to
monster meetings where he hurled his
thunderbolts against the Government
until the echoes rolled over every ham
let and hill in the south and west, aud
swept across the north to the city of
Belfast where, from Kearn’s hotel
O’Connell thundered into Ulster the in
spiration which had roused up Lein
ster and Connaught. A crown prosecu
tion at last shadowed his mighty
efforts, and discord in conciliation half
divided the leaders. The spirit, how
ever, did not die, but uttered its defi
ance in the four courts and from the
convict dock ofClommel, and under the
shadows of scaffolds aud in the pres
ence of packed juries. The vessels
that carried away the men of 1848, did
not carry to Tasmanian forests the
spirit of the people, but agaiu
O’DONOVAN UOSSA WAS DUNGEONED
only to bo returned to Parliament, and
again John Mitchel comes in with the
popular tide of home rulers as one of
tho 103 out of the 652 members of the
British Parliament iu Meath, and only
the pledge made in September, 1844, in
the round room of the Dublin rotunda
“never to abandon the struggle for na
tionality ” has been faithfully and loy
ally kept, and though tho hand that
traced tho first signature is cold, aud
the great spirit that swelled the tide
of Irish glory, has passed through the
bannered arch to the cloudless heav
ens, yet the fire did not die out. To
day shoots forth between the upper
and lower elements, and it flashes
across the Atlantic that the mau who
was taken from Newgate prison, iu
1848, to the north wail, to set out on a
fourteen years’ sentence as a convicted
felon, is the fittest mau to represent as
proud a constituency as ever honored
a man with suffrage. When I recall
the scene of poor Mitchel, after a
tearful good-by to his wife and chil
dren, with a chain around one ankle
and holding up tiie other end iu his
hand, as he took one view of the masses
of men who witnessed his departure,
before stepping into the police omni
bus that carried him to Thurwater,
aud then think of his reception the
other day by the men of Tipperary, the
scene lire3 me, and I hope the resolu
tion of Mr. Disraeli may fail. O’Con
nell was elected in 1820, and again
elected and took his seat, and when
we take even the comments of the En
glish press at the time of Mitehel’s
conviction, there may be some hope.
Manchester Examiner said it was “ de
grading to law and offensive to jus
tice.’ The London Daily News said of
the selection, of the jury, that they re
corded tiie revolting process with pain.
The London Examiner regarded the
mode of empanelling the jury as “Jug
glery.” The Bath Journal said “it was
not trial by trial;” and as to the Irish
press, those that dared speak uttered
no feeble notes. But I have only
touched upon this subject to give you
an outline of the question. My owu
heart runs out so warmly to John Mit
chel that I would inspire others with
the color of my own feelings.
But his election proves what I desire
to present, that the Irish love of liber
ty and
faith in Ireland’s future
will not die ; it has its source in the
very heart of the people ; it comes out
of the soul’s earnestness, aud cannot
die, for, like the march of the winds, it
is resistless, and can be controlled by
no power less than the Immortal hands
that put it in motion.
Gentlemen of the Hibernian Society,
I cangratulate you on the recurrence
of this day, for it is proud to feel that
the day we celebrate marks a grand
and glorious page in the history of the
world. The man who poured out pray
ers over our Ireland, and
REDEEMED THE COUNTRY TO CHRISTI
ANITY
is higher than the warrior or states
man. I congratulate you, too, on the
organization you bring before me.
These associations, benevolent and lit
erary, are the nursery where memo
ries may be sown and successive crops
of patriotism gathered. And I would
like to see occasionally going down
these streets, in martial ranks, some of
th youth and strength of my country,
just to remind me of what we might
do in the land that bore us.
Aud, in conclusion, I need not invoke
your remembrance:
“For you cannot part
His country from the exile’s heart.”
“Dearharp of my country, farewell to thy
numbers,
This may be the last wrealh of song we
shall twine.
Go-sleep with the sunshine of fame on thy
slumbers,
Till waked by some hand less unworthy
than mine.
If the pulse of the patriot, soldier or lover,
Now throbs at our lay, ’twas the glory
alone,
’Twas but as the wind passing heedlessly
over,
And all the wild sweetness we waked was
thy own.”
THE NORTHERN FLOOD.
Fearful Scence in Port Deposit.
Port Deposit, Md., March 19.—The
Hood here is fearful. The water is five
to fifteen feet deep in the streets, and
nearly the whole town is flooded. The
railroad depot is full of water, and was
abandoned last night. •
Havre DeGrace, March 19. —The ice
is gorged five miles below here, and
the wharves are flooded.
New York Failures.
New York, March 19.—L. Decker &
Cos., billiard manufacturers, have failed,
and Gross, March & Cos., tea and coffee
jobbers, have failed.
The Cookery Curriculum of the Fu
ture. —We may expect to see this sort
of thing in schools and lectures : “First
class in beefsteak, stand up! Miss
Martha, please describe the process of
cooking a beefsteak one inch and a
half thick, measured by Whitworth’s
gauge.” “Put it on a gridiron and
broil it thoroughly, without scorching,
and serve it with salt aud pepper.”
“ Wrong! You may step down and
out. The process of cooking a beef -
steak of the above dimensions is to
place it on a gridiron over a hot fire
until the outside is properly browned,
but not scorched ; you are then to re
move it, and put it on a plate in a hot
oven, where you are to leave it for
from three to five minutes ; at the end
of that time it will be found cooked
through, and of a delicate roseate pink
hue, neither dried nor burned in any
part thereof. If you dare to salt or
pepper it before serving, you will re
ceive no diploma from this institute.”
There is nothing more depressing to
