The old Pagan fire-worship still sur
wives in Ireland, though nominally In
honor Of st. John. On Sunday night,
! June %, bonfircs were observed in near
ly every county in the province of Lem
ster. In Kilkenny fires blazed on every
hillside at intervals Of about mile.
There were many in the Queens Coup-
ty, also in Kildare and Wexford. The
effect in the rich sunset appeared to
travellers very grand. The people as
semble and dance around fires, children
jump through The flames, and IN former
times live Goals were carried into the
corn fields to prevent blight. Nccurse,
the people are not conscious that this
midsummer celebration is remnant Of
the worship OF Baal. It is believed by
many that the round towers were In
tended for sigma! fires in connection
with this worship.
The Hcrald,s Washington dispatch
says that Mr.. Abbott, s. brother of the
historian, has broached Il proposition to
leading members of Congress for the an
nexation of Mexico, which, he init
mates, meets with the appreciation of
Jnarez and the chiefs of the Mexican
Republican party. The latter fear
another foreign intervention on account
of Maximillian's execution, or con-
temptation of the intestine strife, and
are satisfied with annexation, provided
they themselves can be secured in some
good Government berths, and peace can
be secured to the conntry. Mr.. Abbott's
propositions were received with some
hesitation by Messrs Sumner and Banks
but with much favor by Messrs. Howard,
Cole, Chandler and Others"
The negro has found his 'last ditch"
in the New York Constitutional Con
vention. He got in through Mr.. Gree
ly's report on suffrage, and being in he
has thus far monopolized all the time of
that august body. Old fogy delegates
are bufIeting him IA an original ques
ton, and new foey delegates are urgent
to fight it out with him before the peo-
pie. The minority demand that the
suffrage article be Independently sub
mitted. The majority are resolved that
it shall stand or fail with the popular
verdict upon the new Constitution as a
Whole. Having at the outset, wisely or
nnwisely rejected Il rule governing the
"prevous question" tn" majority now
find themselves powerlcsa to cut snort
q debate that has already consumed two
weeks Of valuable lime; ao9 ssita>tle
canal question Still urtouc1~t as,a GER
tain to provoke longer eaa more vital
discussion Of public interasts, to say
nothing Of other features o. the Constr
tuition, delegates are beginning to de-
spair If completing their work in time
for tho November election. Mr. Greedy
groans and snoozes in his chair, and
wishes for one hour of the rod that
TIL al. Stevens welds over Congress
\ good thing is told of the President
In Raleigh. While responding i'll feel

he used the expression, LET us, nv
friends repair the breeches" and be-
fore he could add "made by the war;
an old woman exclaimed with perfect

The Indian war costs, it is said, ST.
000,OOo dollars a week, and General
Sherman threatens us with bill of
500, 900 before we attain q pcrma-
nent peace. The Colorado volunteers
would do the job cheaper than that with
their premiums of $50 Il piece for "scalps
with the ears on,' and though their
warefare might not be humane, ii would
be rather more etfeetual than the pres
ent system. If the war must be so bar
barous or go costly, will il not, be better to
try the policy Of peace? We are not told
whether any deduction has been mado
from the estimates of expenditure on &C.
count of the revenue which, AZ we leaIn-
ed the other day from a dispatch from
Gen Mcdowell, the soldiers derive from
the safe of Indian captives to the white
settlers.
The Jackson Miss Clarion is edited
by General BarksdMle, n former leader
in the Confederate army. The Clarion
advocates the acceptance in good faith of
the terms of reconstruction, and to give
point to its argument forcibly says:
1T must be remembered that when
| the armies Of the Confederate States
surrendered, the Government of the
! United States acquired the power to die
tate the terms of reconstruction, and
that there is no instrumentality short of
Divine agency, which can take the
work of reconstruction from the hands
of the present Congress.
