Freaks ie toe Cioab Tbade.—There is
said to be evidence of very extensive frauds
in the manufacture of so-called Havana
cigars. The Inws of Spain forbid the im
portation of tobacco of any foreign growth
into the Island of Cuba. This law, how
ever, is evaded constantly. Pennsylvania
tobacco, it is stated, is taken to Porto Rico
and from thenoe smuggled into Cuba, the
former island in 1870, in consequence of its
firm loyalty during the Cuban ontbreak,
having been especially exempted from the
tobacoo embargo. This heavy Pennsyl
vania tobacco is nsed ns “fillers” for real
Havana cigars. It costs about six conts
a pound, and when made up into cigars is
sold back to oar smokers at enormously
advanced prices.

and his rhonmatic limbs encased in ragged
garb stretched ont before him. His skin
wa3 black, but tho short, kinky hair which

look about the old man that attracted the
reporter’s attention. He appeared to be a
rusty link binding the active humanity
which flowed post him with tho far-away
days of slavery. The reporter stood and
moralized over him nntil his concentrated
gaze attracted the old man’s attention, and
provoked an old-fashioned touch of tho
battered beaver, which from its appear
ance seemed to have borne the storms of
a half hundred winters. The month full of
irregular teeth opened into a semblance of
a smile, and gave birth to a
‘Howdyo, boss.” Not unwilling to suffer
a challenge for an interview to pass, the re
porter drew near.

A Orest New Ocean Steamer.
From the Parisian.
The new steel steamship Servla, built
for the Cunard Company, was successful
ly lannchcd from theiryard at Clydebank.
Tho Servla Is the largest vessel yet built
for the mercantile marine, except tho
Great Eastern, and In point of complete
ness and elegance will not bo surpassed
by any vessel afloat. Her dimensions are:
Length. 030 feet; breadth, 02 feet; depth,
44 feet 0 inches; gross tonnage, 5,000 tons.
A better idea of the huge size of the ves
sel will be gained from the following facts:
Her cargo capacity will bo equal to 6,5SS
tons; with l,b00 tons of coal, and 1,000
tons of water ballast, the vessel having a
double bottom on the longitudinal bracket
system. The anchor davits aro S indies,
and the chain cable pipe 22 Inches in di
ameter. The propeller shaft weighs
2G4 tons, and the propeller, boss, and
blades, which arc made ot Vickers steel,
are 38 tons In weight. The machinery
consists of three cylinder compound sur-
face-condeusing engines, one j cylinder
being 72 Inches and two 100 In diameter,
with a stroke or piston of 0 feet 0 Inches.
It Is anticipated that the indicated horse
power will amount to 10,500. There are in

Inspector Xu my Arrests Lawrence
Sadden tor tbe Astoria Burglary of
December, 1876.
Lawrence Madden was arrested yester
day afternoon at the residence of his sis
ter, No. 129 Division street, by Inspector
Murray, Seigeant Meakiin and Rounds
man Tieroan, on a warrant issued Febru
ary 8, 1877, by District-Attorney* Down
ing, of Queens county, charging him with
burglary in tbe first degree. The arrest
was not resisted, and the prisoner was ta
ken to police headquarters. He asked tho
nature of the charge against him and lie
was told, whereupon he shook his head
and refused to say anything. The charge
against Madden is participation in the
masked burglary committed in Astoria on
the night of December 22, 1876.
He is the last of six men who
took part in that burglary. There was
a snow storm on- the night in question,
and the rivers were full of ice. Law
rence Madden, John James, alias “Fatty”
Farrell, John Roberts, John Reilly, John
McCarthy and Patrick Purcell, ailas
Charles While, alias Whitey, all notorious
river pirates, set out early in the evculng
in a row-boat from the East river pier iu
the fourth ward, and made their way to
the Astoria shore, where they landed, en
tered the Sunswick House aud robbed
Wm. H. Green, tho proprietor, of about
$150, and while tho local police were in
vestigating that case got into their boat,
went one huudred yards down the river,
landed at Mr. M. L. Hiller's boat-house
and broke In through the parlor window.
The iamily consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
Hiller and their seven children. The
burglars woke them all up aud drove
them into one room where they kept
them “corralled” and ransacked the
house at leisure, spending two hours
there. The burglars got altogether about
$1,000 worth of property. On tho way to
the river side they encountered a resident
of Astoria in a sleigh. They stopped tbe
sleigh, dragged its occupant out and
robbed him. While tho row-boat was in
mid-stream, headed for tho fourth ward,
Madden and James, alias Farrell, quar
relled over the division of the plunder,
and Madden shot James in the arm. The
other burglars interfered and prevented a
murder. The party lauded in safety on
this sldo and separated. Inspector Mur
ray was then captain of the fourth pre
cinct. On January 3, 1877, ho arrested
James, Roberts, Reilly and McCarthy.
Reilly turned State’s evidence. Janies
was sentenced to twenty years iu Sing
S'ngfor the Astoria burglaries, andliavin >
pleaded guilty to another indictment he
got fifteen years more, making thirty-five
years for him. Roberts got twenty years
anil was pardoned under Governor Robin
son’s administration. John Reilly got
eighteen years and John McCarthy twenty
years. For these arrests Captain Murray
received an “honorable mention” from
tho Board of Police, was presented with
complimentary resolutions and was pres
ently made an inspector. Purcell and
Madden were still at largo. In December,
1878, a private residence at Englewood,
N. J., was robbed by masked burglars
supposed to belong to this city. Inspector
Murray arrested iu a house at Fortieth
street and Ninth avenue Parccll, Nelson
Ladue and James Burns. They were
tried in New Jersey and sent to the Tren
ton prison for twenty years. For a long
lime Madden was entirely lost sight of.
He went to sea, returned to this city
and was arrested and sent to prison for a
minor otlense, without being recognized.
When he bad served out his sentence,
which was for a short term, ho went to sea
again and recently came hack to tho city.
Inspector Murray received information
that he was living with Ills sister at No.
127 Division street. The house was
watchi d, and yesterday afternoon the ar
rest was made. The prisoner will bo
taken to Astoria to-day. Madden’s elder
brother was drowned five years ago by the
upsetting of a boat while he was commit
ting a robbery at pier 25 East river. Law
rence Madden, the police say, has been
engaged in innumerable robberies, and
was the organizer and leader of the burg
lars who visited Astoria.—IForW.

The Brilliant Army officer Takes Ilia
Own Life—A Ballet Wound Through

Slnry—Vean or a Tarnished Repu
tation.
PRAXcispo. March 15.—Brevet
Major General Emory upton, vr. o'. a.,
was found dead in his bed at Presidio this
morning, having shot nimself through tho
head sometime during the night. General
Upton retired at about his usual hour last
night, having spent tho evening in social
converse. Tho first intimation of the
tragedy was obtained this morning be
tween 8 and 9 o’clock, when his orderly
went to call the General. Receiving no
answer to his knock, the orderly opened
the door and found the officer dead in
bed. The alarm was instantly given, and
several officers of the regiment having
hastened to the room it was discovered
that General had committed suicide. A
revolver was still grasped in Ins hand. A
bullet wound through Ids mouth into the
brain told tho history of his death plainly.
The body was cold and stiff, and life bad
evidently been extinct for several hours,
probably since midnight. Neither body
nor effects in his room havo been touched,
awaiting the arrival of the coroner. Tbe
general impression seems to be that grief
at the loss of bis wife prompted suicide.
From the appearance of Gen. Upton’s
room this morning ho must have sat up
until late the night before, writiDg and
destroying manuscript and burning many
papers. He left two letters. One was to
his sister, dated the 13tb, but apparently
written last night, in which he intimated
that something might happen. The other,
which was unfinished, wa3 addressed to
Captain Dyer, in which General Upton
expressed his opinion that his “revised
tactics” would be a failure. The letters
will not be published until after the in
quest to-morrow. Among the army
lriends of the deceased his suicide is
attributed to fear that by the failure of
his work on tactics ho would lose reputa
tion.
General Upton was a native of New
York. In boyhood his mind turned to
mathematics, and when he entered at
West Point, In 1877, he was looked up
on as an apt scholar in that and kindred
sciences. At the academy he developed
in much tho same manner as Cadet Mc
Clellan had done many years before, and
when he graduated, Iu 1801, Cadet Upton
found himself well versed fn engineering,
with a strong bent towards the higher
subjects of military study. Coming out
at the time he did, however—just when
the government needed many men for
quick duty—ho was obliged to forego fur
ther pursuit of statcgical knowledge and
proceed to the field. On the 6th of May,
1851, ho found himself second lieutenant
of the Fourth Artillery, and a few weeks
later first lieutenant ot the Fifth Artillery.
At the opening of hostilities ho became
aid to General Tyler. He
fell badly wounded at the battle
of Bull Run, hut recovered In time to do
gallantscrvicc in the battles on the Penin
sula, being then in command of a battery.
In October, 1802, lie was transferred to
tho infantry service and led the One Hun
dred and Twenty-first New York Volun
teers into tho thick of the fight at Sontli
Mountain and Antletam. Colonel Upton
at that time wa3 regrrded by-General Mc
Clellan as worthy of larger service, hut
McClellan was retired from command;
and under Burnside at Fredericksburg,
Hooker at Chancellorsvillo and Meade at
Geitvsburg he earned the reputation of a
“lighting colonel.” He particularly dis
tinguished himself that year, however, at
tho battle of Rappahannock station, and
for gallantry in action there was made
brevet major and given tbe command of a
brigade in the Sixth Corps. In tbe bat
tles or the Wilderness he strengthened his
reputation as a brave officer, doiog hax-
anious and important work la the most
intelligent maimer. At Spotlsylvaaia
Court House he was stricken from bis
horse and borne bleeding from the field,
to find a little later that he bad been
moved up a notch. Quickly recovering,
as he had done after his Bull Bun wound,
General Upton led lift brigade at Cold
Harbor. At the battle of Winchester he
was desperately wounded while leading a
charge, aud in recognition of bis gallantry
"as made brevet colonel iu tbe regular
army
, ami brevet major-geiMnl
teers. At tbe end of the Virginia cam
paigns of 1864 General Upton sought
command In the cavalry arm of the ser
vice, and be led the fourth division of cav
alry under General Wilson during the lat
ter's operations in Alabama and Georgia
in the spring of 1863. His last important
work in the field was tho capture Qf Sel
ma, for which and for meritorious service
throughout the war he was made brevet
major-general In the regular army.
Thus, in the course of fire years, and
while be was barely bis thirties, General
Upton became practically fiuuliar with
tbe three brancas of the service—first, an
artillery man, then the leader of a brigade
of infantry and afterwards the commander
of a cavalryjdlvision. Daring this period
of hard practice, and while in the midst
of shells that spoko and sabres that slew,
the bravo young officer continued his book
studies of tho art and discipline of war.
In him were the hard fighter and tho
scholarly soldier part to part.
After the war General Upton visited
Europe. Mince hit return he has been
mostly on the Pacific coast. He was mus
tered out of the volunteer service lathe
spring of 1866, and then became lieuten
ant-colonel of the Twenty-fifth Infantry.
After the adoption of his manual he was
transferred to tho Eighteenth Infantry,
and later In December, 1870, he was as
signed to the First Artillery. In 1877 lie
was transferred to the Fourth Artillery,
of which he was made colonel last July.
Observation in the field taught General
Upton that there was need of a better
manual of infantry tactics, and at tho
first opportunity, after the cessation of
hostilities, he prepared such a work. It
is mainly because of this book, indeed,
that bis name is so widely kuowu, though
it would be unjust to the memory of a
gallant soldier to lose sight of him as one
of the real fighters ot the rebellion. His
manual was adopt -d for the army on Au
gust 1,1867, and has since been in use
amoDgalltbo militia a3 well. General
Upton’s “Review of the Armies of Eu-
ropo” attracted attention. He made his
mark among the military men of Europe,
and his comrades in this country knew
him as a man of Hue parts—one of the
educated gentlemen of the armv.
Wliy the Mouth lit urowing Poorer.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: It
is ot the utmost importance that every
good citizen should meet the Issuo of mis
fortune in our much loved Mouth with as
much promptitude and fortitude as we
would bo ready and rejoice to welcome
the dawu of a prosperous era. - In this
then let us be solid.
Is the South growing poorer? Mr.
Stephens says so, and he is right, too,
believe. Now, why Is tho South growing
poorer? Let us get at the disease and
then seek the remedy. Now there are ■
combination of causes retarding our pros
perity, but tlio greatest of all is our failure
to make agriculture profitable. Why Is
this? Weil,the principal reason Is that
we use commercial fertilizers.
Let us consider this assertion well and
if true abatidou their use. Suppose I of
fer A. five dollars to cut me five cords of
Wood, or I say to him if you prefer to cut
me ten cords I will give you tho same
amount. Now, A. not wishing to do a
small business, hires a hand for two dol
lars to help him and cuts the ten cords
and I pay bun the five dollars for the ten
cords of wood which I would as readily
liavoglvcn forjthe five. You readily admit
that to bo bad financiering. Well, tho
world says to tiie South, we want your
cotton—we must have it. We will pay
one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars for three million
bales of cotton, or if you prefer to be like
the woodchopper wo will pay you the
same amount for four million and a half
bales. Well, the Southern planter docs
not like tiie idea of a small business, so he
puts in say eight hundred thousand dol
lars to buy guano to make the extra mil
lion and a half bales, for which lie gets
nothing and which costs him ono hundred
thousand dollars for picking alone. Now,
I know, personally, hundreds of planters
who put six dollars’ worth of guano on
land that would be high at ono dollar per
acre, and many of them aro making this
investment on land that doesn’t belong to
them or that is mortgaged for supplies to
make cotton for Lowell looms. If this
kind of futures pays, then wo can’t growl
at Wall street bulls and bears.
Another way in which commercial fer
tilizers work us serious injury is that they
aro generally sold by our country mer
chants, and they require tho fanner to
pay tho guano notes first, and often W.
In Ilia r.-——I" --cr with
them until another season, when it is paid
by a duo bill in the sand.
Let us tako another item that I claim
has done much to make the-South poorer.
Before going fartber, however, let me
assert that we are tho easiest people on
the globe imposed upon aud can bo talked
into almost anything. Let us theu take
Georgia as one of the Southern States to
illustrate my point. I believe wo have
ono hundred and thirty-eight counties,
and I venture the assertion that there are,
on an average, one hundred and fifty sew
ing machines iu each county in Georgia.
So, at a low estimate, wo havo 20,700
sewing machines in Georgia, at an esti
mated cost of $1,000,500.
Then take lightning rods, patent churns,

The money thus spent is doing us a
positive Injury, and it all goes away from

more cotton they make the less money
they get. These aro our maladies; let

Clay aa a Wbtat-player.
Henry Clay’s favorite pastime for many
years was a game of whist, to which at
one tirao he wa3 passionately addicted—
not for the stakes, but for the distraction
and excitement of the game. Mr. Win-
thropsays that there is a tradition that
while Clay was visiting in Boston In
1S18, and lodging at the old Exchange
Coffee House ou Congress street, a ser
vant rushed into the parlor in which he
was at tho whist table with a few gentle
men of the old school, and aunounced
that the hotel was on fire. “Oh, there
will he time enough, I think,” said Mr.
Clay, “to finish our game,” and finish It
they did before the hotel was burned to
the ground. A similar tradition was cur
rent In Washington at a later period that,
while Mr. Clay was Speaker, he and his
friends had passed a whole night at cards,
and were still going on’wltli their games
wliaa the hour was closo at hand for the
opening of the morning session of Con
gress. “Walt a few minutes, gentlemen,’’
said Mr. Clay, “and I will wash my faco
and bauds, and ruu down to the House
and call John Taylor to the chair, and
then X will come back and we will havo
another rubber.”

You are called together to give expres
sion to yoar feelings of sympathy for Ire
land. Sympathy for Ireland 1 For what?
You have been told that Ireland has been
wronged. By whom? You have been
informed that the liberties of her people
are trampled upon, that they are op
pressed, robbed of their hard earnings and
made subjects of a rule as galling as the
galley-slave’s chains, as tyrannical as a
Nero’s edicts? Wherefore aud by what
power? These are serious charges, and
demand the verdict of serious considera
tion and calm judgment. This verdict is
all that Ireland demands from the jury of
the world. She asks no maudlin sympa
thy for imaginary wrongs, no meaningless
resolves about invaded rights, governmen
tal misrule and regal tyranny. Sbe only
desires from au impartial world, justice to
her pcoplo, who are struggling for home
protection, home comforts, home rights,
bread and liberty. Of this straggle, I am
not an indifferent spectator. It is one that
excites tbe anxious solicitude of the civi
lized world. For nearly a century appeals
have been made for a modification ol her
laws, for a participation in tbe manage
ment and control of her domestic govern
ment, aud these appeals are now repeated
with a fervor of sincerity and power of
argument that, if they call forth no af
firmative response from the home govern
ment, are awakeuing a spirit of inquiry
and iutcrest among the civilized nations
of tiie earth. Ireland’s history is one of
wrongs and oppression. From the day
the Northmen descended upon her coasts
until how, she has been robbed of her na
tionality, plundered by her conquerors
and oppressed by her rulers. Divided
among barbaric chiefs, ravaged for centu
ries by cruel Danes, subjugated by Crom
well, who confiscated her estates and sold
thousands of of her citizens into slavery,
made against her will a dependence of
tho English government, which restricted
her trade ana discouraged her industry,
Ireland boro on, struggled on In a long
night, of despotism and misrule, without
one ray of light or gleam of hope until the
revolt of the American colonies modified
for a season the conduct of the home gov
ernment toward her. Doubt you the story
of her wrongs and the history of the in
juries aud oppressions indicted upon her
by the English government?
Go read the bill of charges brought by
your fathers in 1776 against this same
government, which was trying to estab
lish “an absolute tyranny over these
States;” “by refusing to pass laws for the
accommodation of the people;” “by dis
solving representative houses who opposed
tiie invasion of the rights of the people;”
“by subjecting us to a jurisdiction foreign
to our constitution;” “by cuttiDg off our
trade with other portions of the world;”
“by imposing taxes without our consent;”
“by depriving ns of the benefits of trial
by jury;” “by abolishing our most valua
ble laws and altering fundamentally tbe
powers of our government,” “by suspend
ing our legislatures and withdrawing
from us her protection and support”—and
tell me, yo carping apologists, to-night if
Ireland, treated now as were your fathers
then, is to be condemned because
she, too, Having petitioned in vain for re
dress, and, like them, having been an
swered only by repeated injury, Is now
demanding from this same England a
change in her system of laws and new
guards for her future security ? Is there
no force in these complaints, no power in
these appeals ? Gan they be wrung from
hearts not touched by misfortune, or
moved only by imaginary wrongs?
Think you that tho eloquence
of Irish oratory burns aud glows with the
warmth of an artificial heat or that tho
strings of Erin’s harp aro attuned only to
the notes of visionary woe? My country
men, thero is a power in that eloquence
truth only can give, for it is full of a peo
ple's misery; a pathos in that music feei
ng only can iuspirc, for it Is burdened
with the apprehension of a nation’s ruin.
These complaints are not tho murmurings
of to-day—they havo come down to us
from former generations and aro the na
tural outgrowth of that feudal system
which characterized the governments of
tlio past. The land laws of Ireland are
tho offshoot of that system—a system
which, as I said ou another occasion, con
centrated all political rights in tho hands
of tho few, and which was necessarily ex
clusive and despotic, giving to the posses
sors of fiefs powers to Impose obligations
“****;■ v*«sals which deprived them of per-
bletjyranny of the lords of the soil. Look at
these laws. How wero they made and by
whom wero they executed? They were
made for the tenantry of Ireland by tho
aristocratic landlords who alone sat upon
juries and the bench to try aud enforce
the laws of their making.
Against these laws—their oppressive
discriminations, their unjust exactions,
their tyrannical control of the rentals and
profits of the tenant-tiHera of tbo soil—
these complaints have been made, but
made in vain. Committee after committee
has been appointed by Parliament to ex
amine and report upon them; report after
report has been made, demanding legisla
tive relief, yet Ireland to-day, in the lan
guage of Father Hunt, is still “the land
of beauty and starvation,” In 1819, in
1823, in 1829,1830 and 1834 committees,
called forth by the sufferings of tho people
and the distresses of the country, reported
that the condition of that people was
wretched to the last degreo aud tbe state
of the country called for immediate legis
lative relief. During these appeals there
was strife and pestilence and famine.
Who does not remember 1847, when the
heart of Christendom was moved by Ire
land’s deplorable condition ?— when un
appeased want sat around her boards and
destroying famine depleted the households
of her people? These strifes, these
famines, have been attributed in a great
measure to England’s statutory laws,
which gave to the tenants, as was well said
by a learned American, “onlya. starvation
percentage of his earnings.” Under these
laws the people of Ireland have been and
are being plundered, as wero your fathers
prior to the revolution of 1776. Are you
astonished that they havo resorted to
every expediency a suffering people can
devise to obtain relief ? In 1870 a crumb
was thrown them iu the shape of a land
act by Mr- Gladstone; intended for good,
it brought no permanent relief., It was a
single star in tbe dark night of their mis
fortune, emitting just light enough to
show tho blackness of surrounding gloom.
It was a small spring iu tho great desert
of their distressful necessities, tantalizing
the thirst it could not satisfy. From that
time up to 1SS0, twenty-eight measures
were Introduced to amend this act for
tho people’s welfare; but poverty pleads
hopelessly against the aggressions of
power, aud liberty strives In yam to break
the galling chains of tyranny. The world
is asking to-day: Why these recurrences
of want? Why does tho cry ot distress
come so frequently, so mournfully, from
Tipperary aud from Kilarney, from Gal
way and from Donegal, from Kerry and,
from Connemara, from Munster’s woods
and Boyne’* ill-fated river; aye,
from every hill and dale, from every
altar and homestead of the Emerald Isle?
Is the bittern wail of distress sweet music
to the ears of Erin’s sons and daughters ?
Is the lament of the emigrant the Mar
seilles of Irish freedom—the gloria in
excelsis of Irish minstrelsy? Are the
pages of her history more entertaining be
cause they are written with tho tears of
toil and the blood ol the poor? Have
Ireland's patriot sons abandoned the graves
of their lathers and the homes of their
childhood that they might return again,
like the Hindoo pilgrim, with tbe ashes of
their dead to throw them Into tho rivers
sacred in their country’s history, or leave
them in distant lands to strangers’keeping
and strangers’ care? Does the exile leave
home and countty for the pleasure of
toiling iu this and other lands, that he
piay send to the loycd ones left behind
the earnings of his toil, to satisfy tbo land

choice? Is there not some cause for them,
and aro Irishmen culpable because, in a
peaceful yet In a determined manner,
they remonstrate agaiust the laws that
produce aud the government tliat protect*
rnent of tbo civ ilized world iu her efforts
to tree herself from the tyranny and op
pressions of feudal sovereigns. Fellow-
citizens, is the appeal au unreasonable or
an unnatural one? Does it not come
souudingdown tin corridor of ages,plain
tive as the wail of Israel’s daughters when
they sat down by the rivera of Babylon
and wept as they remembered Zion.
Voiced from the graves of her famished
thousands, sympathiziug nations are list
ening with rapt attention to its solemn
denunciation of a system that “has blight
ed into deformity all that was beauteous
aud into famine all that was
abundant” in Ireland. England
hears that powerful appeal and from
Land’s End to Cheviot hilts, she trembles
at the knowledge Us power and pathos
has disclosed—that Ireland, persecuted by
extorting landlords, plundered by rapa
cious incumbents, in rags aud in bondage,
is challenging the sympathy of Christian
nations aud inspiring in their bosoms a
desire for her diseuturalment and inde
pendence. But says one, I grant yo«, her
grievances demand redress, but we, of
America, have nothing to do with public
policy and municipal regulations of other
governments, and especially should we of
the South, be slow to condemn the laws
that regulate the relations of landlord and
tenant. My countrymen, universal law
demands that whatever is contrary to
public policy aud dangerous to public
peace is wrong in principle and should be
discountenanced and discontinued, aud
you and I and all must adult, that any
system of laws that degrades a people, de
bases a nation and depiopuIates.a state is
contrary to the spirit of government and
inimical to the liberties of mankind.
Government was made tor tiie people and
not the people for government and when
a government withdraws Its protection
from its citizens, it forfeits tbs confidence
of its subjects and disgraces the object of
its formation. Our tenure of landed
property is far different from that of Ire
land. Here the tillers of the soil are gen
erally owners of tbe laud they cultivate,
having acquired it by purchase or inheri
tance—if leased, It is to those identified
with them m interest. There the land
lords are few and acquired their lands by
confiscation. In all Ireland there are
about 8,000 landioids, and we are told
two-thirds of the land is owned by 1,942
persons, who have it cultivated by 500,-
1 X>0 tenants, who represent a population
ot 5,000,000. Our system is not encum
bered by oppressive restrictions and is
guarded by wholesome laws. Theirs vio
lates natural rights, and “makes the rights
of property paramount to tho rights of
life.” Doe3 the husband add comforts to
Ins rude home—does he improve the land
by his capital and labor—does the frugal
wife plant tiie flower and trail the vine to
gratify the taste and please tiie eye—it in
a manner vitiates the lease, because it en
ables landlords to exact increased rents or
immediate eviction. Thus in one year
300,000 of her tenants were dispossessed
ot their homes. Thus Ireland is plun
dered and reduced to a starving depen
dency, her labor paralyzed, her industry
destroyed and her homes depopulated.
Well may wo protest against a system
which, in tbe language of tbe great Burke,
“was intended to destroy a kingdom and
annihilate a race.” My hearers, I am no
agrarian; there is nothing communistic
in my nature, yet I have watched with
alarm the encroachments of combinations
in our land upon the rights and interests
of tho labor of the country. I have seen
them in one day’s operations iu Wall
street destroy tho slow accnmnlations of
years. Heedless of consequences, they
elevate or depress at will a nation’s in
dustries. Regai dless of results, when in
terest prompts, they strike a death-blow
at tbe labor of the conntry, and, as a shut
tlecock amusement, toss up and down in
heartless indifference the values of a na
tion and the earnings of the poor. Before
a different audience I sounded the alarm
a3 to their aggressive tendencies, and I am
satisfied, my countrymen, tho time is
coming in freo America when our general
government, in its exercise of power to
legislate for tho general welfare, will have
to say to these grasping'comblnatlons, in
their efiorts to paralyze labor and destroy
values, as Canute said to the sea: “Thus
• • •• •*-— — «,„1 no farther.”
To this system of legalized persecution,
Ireland proclaims in the thunder tones of
deep sincerity her unutterable and undy
ing opposition. But says another, what
claim has Ireland upon Southern sympa
thy ? Did not her sons join in the war
upon us and our institutions? Fellow-
citizens, in so doing did they not exemplify
their fidelity to principle in fighting for
their section and their adopted homes?
And did not pour brethren of the North
and the East and the West, bound to you
by the ties of a common ancestry, a com
mon inheritance of liberty and a common
couHtry engage in the same common
struggle? And have wo not buried in
tho grave tho bloody past, and Inscribed
upon the stone that covers it: “Divided
in life, united !n death, to be forever one
in the resurrection of tho future ?” And
shall we not allow the opposing sons of
Ireland to join in the grand reunion of
their bravo comrades front the South who
gave to Dixie and her cause the patriotic
offering of their lives? Methinks I see
that gallant Southern army of Erin’s sons
rising from their battle graves to answer
tbo assembly call, while from the
very battlements of the ene
my brave Cleburne’s spirit ascends
to muster bis comrades at tbe grand re
union review. Aye, sirs, wo of tne South
have no cause of complaint agaiust the
sons of the Emerald Isle, whose lots were
cast among our Southern homes, and
never, while memory lasts, will Southern
soldiers forget those angels of scif-sacriiice
and mercy, who in the absence of mother,
sister, wile, bowed around tiie pallets of
straw of their wounded comrades, bathed
their iever-seorched temples, cooled their
parched lips, and wiped the death-damp
from their brows as life's tattoo was being
beat, and their spirits were taking their
flight to that land whose peace is never
broken by the war drum’s beat or tbe can
non’s loud rattle. But lastly, says another,
it Is better that England’s rule and au
thority should be undisturbed he cause
she can better rulo Ireland than Ireland
can rule herself. Is this uot heaping in
sult upon long home injuries? Tell me
when Irelaud has had it in her power to
rule herself? For three hundred
years, for want of Irish rule, she has been
the victim of dismemberment and strife
and revolution. In what elements of gov
ernment, of national character or great
ness is she deficient? Is there one which
Irish genius has not elevated or Irish intel
lect adorned? In oratory,.her Burkes her
Curran and her Grattans, whose lips
were touched by tho fires of supernatural
eloquence, and whose genius sparkled
with the light of a divine intelligence,
measure in intellectual stature with the
statesmen aud orators of any land. In
the home of the muses what harp vibrates
with sweeter melody or loftier verse than
those that “shed tho soul of song” in
Tara’s Halls? And when Ireland’s de-
famers are forgotten In history, tbe poetry
of her Moore will roll on iu waves of song,
pure as the waters from heavenly founts,
beautiful as the blush of summer morn,
soft as the sigh of expiring spring, lasting
as the song tbe seasons sing. In war’s
bloody annals Ireland’s Wellington
snatched a brand trom tbo fires of burn
ing Moscow to brighten into eternal light
the pages of English history. Aye, my
hearers, in the temples of every art, of ev
ery profession, Ireland has wreathed their
altars and tbelr columns with the immor
telles ot her own transcending genius. If
strength of intellect, devotion to principle,
love of country are essentials for govern
ment, then Irishmen aro eminently tatted
to rule tiie land of their lathers. Would
.they be unfaithful to their trust? Are
they uot true to the obligations of duty
in this land of ourS? Aro not her Demp
seys and her Dais s, Her Burkes and her
Longs, her Fitzgeralds ■ and h^r
McKennas, her Ingalls and her Rooneys,
and a host of others equally worthy, active t
co-operators with you in developingGeor- j
dear to me courses true Irish blood, and
I would be false to tbe love I bear them
did I not pray for the freedom and inde
pendence of the land of their father.
That land is old Erin, “and though broken
thon art,
There is a lustre within thee that will nevor
decay;
A spirit which beams through each suffer-
ing part,
And smiles at her pain on her SL Patrick's
Day.”
Sons of Ireland, despair not of your
country. Tbe night of her misfortune
lias been long and dark, bnt it may yet be
dissipated by tbe sun-burst of a glorious
Independence. The waters of your being
are now dashing down the wild, seething,
boiling Niagara of destiny, but just below
is Ike calm lake “that breaks into dimples
and laughs in the sun.” Tho winter of
your oppression has been long, but spring
time is coming, when tbe Genius of Erin,
standing in “that vale where tbe bright
waters meet,” or on Monona’s mountain
heights, shall strike in exultation her
country’s barp again, as she slogs—
“Erin, oh Erin, thy winter is past.
And tne hope that lived through it has blos
somed at last.”

Washington, March 18 In the Sen
ate, in anticipation of a renewal of the
debate upon the subject of organization,
tbe galleries of the Senate were filled this
morning to their utmost capacity, while
many persons, principally members cf tbe
House of Representatives, who were enti
tled to tbe privileges of tbe floor, occupied
seats in tiie rear of the chamber.
Mr. Hale presented tbe credentials of
Wm. P. Frye, as Senator from the State
of Maine to fill the vacancy occasionedby
the resignation of Secretary Blaine. The
credentials having been read, Mr. Frye
appeared and took tbe oath of office.
Mr. Dawes offered a resolution request
ing the President to transmit to the Sen
ate & copy of the report given to tbe Sec
retary of State by Edward A. Vandyke,
consular clerk at Cairo, on tbe capitula
tion of tbe Ottoman Empire. Z-iopted.
Mr. Pendleton called up tho organiza
tion resolution. Mr. Anthony moved that
tbe resolution be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Conkling inquired svlictber it was
Air. Anthony’s desire to have the resolu
tion postponed in ordarthat he might then
offer another resolution. Mr. Anthony
replied that it was. A vote was taken
aud resulted, yeas 37, nays 37. Air. Da
vis, of Illinois, voted in the negative with
the Democrats. WhenMr.Malioue’a name
was reached, he also voted with the Dem
ocrats and a bnzz of astonishment ran
round the assembly, but before the an
nouncement of the vote he ro30 and
changed his vote amid some applause and
somo" vigorous hissing in tbe galleries.
Messrs. Camden ana Edmunds were
paired. The Vice-President then said the
vote of the Senate being evenly divided
the chair will rote aye, and he therefore
declared the motion carried. The resolu
tion offered by Mr. Anthony reorganizing
the Scuato committees on a Republican
basis was agreed to—yeas 38, nays 37, the
Vice-President casting the deciding vote,
and then at 1 o’clock the Senate went into
executive session. At 2 o'clock the doors
were opened and the Senate adjourned
until Monday.
The question of calling an extra session
of Congress was fully discussed at the
cabinet meeting to-day, and though no
definite conclusion was reached, there
seems to bo good grounds for the state
ment that the arguments which have been
made in its favor have had their effect on
the President. It now appears probable
that the question will shortly be decided
and that au extra session will be called
to meet between the 1st and 15th of May.
Among tbe nominations sent to the
Senate to-day were the following: Joseph
Hirst, to be collector of customs for the
district of St. Mark's, Fla.; Robt. C. Car

AYER’S HAIR VIGOR,
For Restoring Gray Hair
To Its Natural Vitality Mid Color.
Advancing years,
sickness, care,dis
appointment nnd
hereditary predis
position, all turn
the hair gray, and
either of them in
cline it to shed
prematurely.
Ayer's Hair Yig-
-, by long and
.extensive use, has
proven that _ it
stops the falling
of tho hair immediately: often renews the
growth; and always surely restores its col
or, when faded or gray. It stimulates tbo
nutritive organs to healthy activity, and
preserves both tho hair aiui its beauty.
Thus braahv. weak or sickly hair become*
gipssy, pliable and strengthened; lost hair
regrows with lively expression; tailing hair
is checked and stablisned; thin hair thick-
eus; and faded or gray hairs resume their
original color. Its operation is sure and
harmless. It cures dandruff, heals all hu
mors, and keeps the scain cool, clean and
soft—under which conditions, diseaseaof
the scalp are impossible. As s dressing for
ladies’ nair. tho Vigor is praised for it*
grateful and agreeable i>erfuine, and valued
for tiie soft lustre and rioluiosti of tone it
imparts. _ _
