PAY FOR LABOR IN lRELAND.-H Horace Greeley
gives exact idea Of labor at its starving point:
"Walking with a friend through one of the
back streets of Galway beside the outlet of the
lakes, came where girl of ten years old was
breaking up hard brook pebbles into suitable
fragments to mend roads with. We halted, and
NJ. asked her how much she received for that
labor. She answered, "Sixpence a car load"
slow long will it take you to break a car load ?"

CONSUL OWEN, THE PRESIDENT, &c.-A Wash
ington despatch to the Baltimore american of
this morning says:
"Mr. Consul Owen has been removed. The
delay in removing him at once, arose simply
from the necessity of the Government receiving
an authentic official account of his conduct.
The President was determined from the first to
remove him, If official information confirmed
the newspaper reports of his procedure, and in
doing so he has carried out the universal senti-
ment of the whole American people Mr.. Owens
fault arose, probably, from want of brains more
than malice, but in either case he is unworthy
of holding Office under this Government.
1T is understood that the President has been
as prompt and decided with reference to the
Syracuse outrage, as he has shown himself in
regard to the Christiana tragedy. In both in
stances he has called upon the officers of the
United States to see that the laws are fully and
properly executed. 1t is impossible always to
prevent sudden violation of law, but by holding
the denquents to a strict accountability such
outrages viii become much less frequent"

DEATH OF FRANCIS DODGE, SR., Eso.-This
gentleman, for the larger part of half century
distinguished amongst the merchants and bust
ness men of this District, died on Wednesday
evening at his residence in Georgetown For
several months past his former steady good
health had been gradually declining and his
system showed, by its tendency to dropsical
forms of disease, that nature was fast failing.
He underwent the usual alternating measures
| in such cases with temporary advantage, bu
the seat of the disease was beyond human reach
compelling even a well kept constitution, aided
by the best medical skill, to succumb before its
assaults
Mr.. Dodge, by the exercise of most clear
native perception, unexcelled regularity in at
tention to business an admirable judgment in
whatever appertained to mercantile, financial,
or social economy, and the maintenance through
out life of an unimpaired credit all over this
and even in most other commercial countries,
acquired high standing which he kept to the
last moment of his being.
He leaves behind him large and highly re-
spectacle family of both sexes, all well and
wisely brought up, and proving by their fair
position in life how practically valuable were
those lessons whose enforcement was not left to
mere precept but ever and undevatingly held
up by most consistent example. Mr.. Dodge
was attached to the Presbyterian church in
Georgetown, of which he was regular attend
ant till his last illness, and always firm sup
porter. lie died in the Goth year of his age

TERRIBLE AFFRAY AT LITTLE RocK.-A Us
Senator one Of tie Actors! "A terrible and dis
graceful street-fght occurred at Little Rock,
Arkansas, few days ago, in which two editors,
U. ,. Senator, Sheriff, and State Auditor,
all inquired prominently. The Little Rock Ban
ner thus details the facts:
While standing at the corner of the Anthony
house IN this city, the editors of this paper
We're simultaneously attacked by Benjamin f.
Daney, the sheriff of this county, C. c. Dam
ley, auditor OF the State, VIM Danley, steam
boat engineer, and Solon Borland, IT, s. Senator
Ihe attack was made upon Mr. Whiteley by
benjamin T. Danley and c. G. Danley, striking
at HIM with heavy bludgeons, both at the same
instant. Whiteley fired pistol at Benjamin +.
Danley without effect and, closing with him,
succeeded in wrenchng from him his stick, and
Wlth IL beat him to the ground during this
time Z. G. Danley was striking him (Whteley)
ON the back part of the head with heavy cane.
Nhlteley, upon turning to ward off the blows
of 9. G. Danley, was shot in the right breast by
pistol ball from B. +. Danley.
In the meantime MIR. Reardon, who had taken
no part IN the atfray, was seized from behind
by Solon Borland twisted to the ground, and
dlsarmed. Borland held him down and choked
hlm, with pistol presented ut his head, until
pulled loose by Gordon N. Pcay, esq AS Mr..
Reardon was being raised from the ground,
William Danley, coming up behind him, dealt
him blow on one side of the head with a
heavy stick which left him apparently lifeless
When this feat was accomplished, the engineer
and the honorable Senator joined their COM
panions (the Auditor and Sheriff in their muir
derous assault upon Whiteley, which was CON
tinued with murderous ferocity until he fell,
exhausted by the tierceness of their attack and
the wound he had received in the outset.
When the bystanders, shocked with the cow
ardly inhumanity of the proceeding, sought to
prevent the cold-blooded murder of a man no
longer capable of resistance, they were hurled
aside by Borland with pistol in hand, who con-
tinued then even to cry out to his confederates,
"Shoot him! kill him kill him . ~
1t is due to Mr.. Whiteley to state that he
only saved his life by u most desperate resist
ance to the combined attack; that though as-
sailed from every quarter in front, one from be-
hind, by sticks, knives, and pistols, and de-
Tending himself under every disadvantage, (his
right arm being rendered useless by the pistol
ball, he never so far forgot himself as to strike
Captain c. c. Danley the cripple, though he
had frequent opportunities to have felled him
to the ground.
