We very much regret 10 seeour neighbor Of the
Courier pitching so severely into the tried, true
and trusty sons Of the Green Isle, denouncing the
Irish as g miserable, deluded people, murder
ing one another about the Pope, the Divil, or
Anti-Christ I Such Language is exceedingly
ungentle and uncharitable; and the comparison
which places the Irish lower than the Poles and
Hungarians in civilization and courage is par
ticnlarly obnoxious. Wewill not be ungenerous
enough to refer 70 the back files Of the Courier
for proof that its opinions were not always as at
present, but content ourselves with protesting
against the rabid Know Nothingism Of the arti-
Gle from which we quote If our Irish friends
are guilty Of the follies charged them, the
&c Know Nothing = organization should be en-
Outraged, which the Courier has heretofore
denied If these accusations are not true then
the Courier should not publish them, and stig-
Matte 50 large, influential and intelligent a
body of our citizens as g miserable, deluded
people, and murderers. We shall feel it in
cumbent upon ourselves, in case 5of O con
tinuance Of the present style Of articles, to
stand up in defense of the Irish against the
attacks Of the Courier, and endeavor to prove
that Paddy patriotism is equal to any Ameri-
cano and that instead of being degraded,
drunken, ignorant, supersttious, priest-ridden,
bigoted, murderous and cowardly, the Irish are
brave, intelligent, educated, sober, sensible and
gentlemanly Here is the Courier's article,
proving the necessity Of the course we propose
to ourselves Il is appended to an extract from
the New York Sun Of the 4th inst, descriptive
Of . series of murders in County Ulster, Ireland
So We take the foregoing from the columns Of
the New York Sun of the 4th instant, and in
sert it not SO much because it is likely to place
the Irish character in a new light before our
readers, as to show that the old causes of dis
union in that unfortunate country, which have
kept her for centuries in misery, and shame
and degradation, are still rife in the land Whilst
the Hungarian, the italian, the Pole and the
other oppressed ones of the old world are look
ing anxiously at the present struggle which
threatens to convulse Europe and bide their
time determined to strike a strong blow for
their liberty, the sons Of Ireland are breaking
each others heads about subjects that are of NO
earthly use to them. Instead of being united
and prepared for the good time coming they
appear to think it a matter of more Importance
to keep numbering one the other, about the
Pope, the Devil or Antechrist, than to unite and
organize themselves for national struggle
Heaven help them They are miserable de-
luded people. When shall they begin to think
seriously of their degradation % g$a ati

Correspondence Of tn. Baltimore Sun

q,
The bFs introduced yesterday by Judge Bayly,
to carry out the reciprocity treaty, as far as the
latter affects our revenue laws, was passed this
morning in the House, and has gone to the SEN
ate, where it will undoubtedly pass before
O'clock.
The civil and diplomatic appropriation bill,
with it's 1913 Senate amendments, was disposed
of by Mr. Houston, Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, after hard struggle, in
the short space of few hours, and all the other
important appropriation plils are IN a far way
of being disposed Of
The House and Senate have at last agreed to
extend the session till Monday next, provided no
Legislative act shall be attempted after o'clock
to-day. This will give members time to finish
the legitimate business before Congress, and,
at the same time, guard against accidents, in
legislation.
The River and Harbor bill, which was passed
last evening, will be vetoed. The veto is ready
to go in Tit went in subsequently
The reports of the various committees on in
| vestigaton, all completely exonerates the mem
bers of the House from any suspicion as regards
their private CHARACTER and motives Of action.
On Colts pistols their were four reports, all
equally clearing the members from any suspi-
cion, such as led to the appointment Of the conf
mittees, but revolving other matters in their
minds
The report of the committee on the Minnesota
land bill entirely clears Gen. Stevens, of Michi-
gan, and the Clerk of the House of any motive
| to do wrong; while the committee on Mr.. Bayly
has made special report which entirely con-
| POUNDS his aeeuser. There is no reason, there
fore, why members should not go home in peace,
and dismiss all disagreeable recollections of the
subject.
The graduation bill by Mr.. Cobb, of Alabama,
and which passed the House some time ago,
passed the Senate to-day without crossing a or
dotting an l. and the President has signed it,
The Homestead bill will come up early during
the next session But two or three bills precede
| it on the calendar.
| The laws of the United States have been ex-
tended over the territory newly acquired by the
Gadsden treaty,

ABOLITION MEETING In ENGLAND.--A great
anti.slavery meeting or convention was to have
been held on the LIST of August, at Manchester,
England. Among the speakers promised to be
present was the Hon. John Van Buren,, son Of
Martin Van Buren,, the e1-President of the
United States, but his name was probably used
without authority, as he never professed to be
an abolitionist The subjects marked out fol
discussion more or less affected the internal af
deral Union. Among the proposals is one fol
discussing the feasibility Of dissolving the great
Union of States.

MURDER IN ST. LoUIs--On the 30th ult., an
Englishman named Thomas Edgar shot his wife
dead in quarrel. The affair was most
shocking one. A little girl seven years of age,
who was the only witness of it, testified that
the accused entered the shanty drunk while his
wife had her babe in her arms, and after quar-
reling with her took up his gun and threatened
to shoot the child and herself. The frightened
woman ran and placed the child on the bed, and
was Immediately shot dead by her brutal hus-
band. He will probably be hanged.

A VOLUNTEER ENGINEER.-On Tuesday, as
one of the engineers of the railroad train, at
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was taking his dinner, man
named Thos flanagan jumped upon the locomo-
tive, put it in motion, and then jumped off. For
tunately, another was standing near it at the
time, rld the only damage resulting was about
$125 worth to one of the tenders Had it not
been for this it would have gone on and come
in collision with a passenger train then due.
flanagan was arrested and committed, and
should be made to suffer severely.

On the whole, this has been most successful
session and most laborious one. The Admins
tration have carried all their leading measures,
including the Mexican and the Reciprocity
treaty The account between the North and
the South has been hdnorably balanced, and the
cardinal principles Of Democracy (which is
American Republcanism) maintained with q
steady hand. After the passion of the hour
shall have subsidized, this will be pronounced on
suspicious beginning of Gen. Pierce's term at
which the people will have reason to rejoice.
when the commentaries on mere individuals
shall be forgotten.
And, in conclusion, let me say word of Mr..
Speaker Boyd, who has presided with great
ability, frmness and impartiality over the House
during this eventful session, and fully justified
the trust which his friends and the country have
reposed in him Mr.. Boyd is an able, efficient
and digniied presiding officer, and justly re-
spected for the sterling honesty and fearlessness
of his character

The Lev'ee.

The usual Summer improvements are nov
being made upon our Leyee, although to
somewhat greater extent than is customary
The plankiDg of the greater part has been, is
or will be taken up and re1aid New piles ar,
being driven down, and sounder beams PLACED
upon them. The inequalities of the surface
have been removed and the whole levee will b
smooth and sound on the advent of the Fall
trade There are great many laborers at
work present, and great deal Of new material
being used.
The river is now at very low stage indeed,
and many Of the little steamers lying along the
Levee are hardly visible below their smoke
pipes In fact very few steamboats, are in port,
now, and the few that continue to arrive and
depart take but little freight and fewer passen-
gers. There was not single departure yester-
day, and we believe, but one arrival. There
are few ships here and they load very slowly.
On the Levee we see no large piles of produce
from the interior and up country, but one long,
deserted wilderness, unoccupied and barren.
This state Of things, however, cannot last long
and will presently give way to business, hustle
and animation: to fleets of arriving steamers
loaded down to their guards with goods anu
passengers; to great cargoes Of cotton, corr
and sugar; to crowds of busy men, and all thu
attendants Of active trade and brisk commerce
