Mr. saams on Ireland.

MIR. Adams, the American Minister
to London, took the opportunity of a
holiday season to visit Ireland. He
speaks of the various parts of the is
land, and says emphatically and dis
tinctly that the northern part of it is
both "quiet and prosperous" more
prosperous in his judgment than even
those districts of England which are
devoted to the same description of in
dustry. This he speaks of as being the
usual condition of that part of the
country; but he says that there has
been a special cause of improvement In
the American war, which, by raising
the price of cotton fabrics, had opened
larger N rkets for the linens of Ire
land. The same thing, he states, tho
10 modified degree, is true OF Dublin
and the country round it; but there the
farm houses and other residences do
not show the same neatness and care as
in the north.
The only part OF the island, so far as
his notice enabled him to judge, where
there was more distress than IN other
european countries, was the south.
western portion. There he seem to
have encountered those distressing
spectacles of starvation and misery in
other forms which unhappily are too
familiar to all OF us who have heard or
read anything of the state of Ireland.
Even here, however, he says that the
state OF the country appears to have
greatly improved since MIR. Lawrence's
tour in 1851, though the improvement
has probably been slow, and the cou-
dition of the people is still very
wretched. The wages of laborers have
increased since 1851 by forty or fifty
per cent, though they are still inn
measureably below those which are
current on this continent. Mr.. Adams
has nothing to say which could en-
courage Fenlan endeavors. He asserts
that though the discomfort may be
widespread, all the influential classes
are decidedly opposed to anything like
disturbance, aud that attempts at in
surrection must fail and end In the de-
struction of all who take part in them.

AN -ATrRafPr TO CoMaur MURpER-

AN ATTEMPT To COMMIT MURDER
THE WOULD BE MURDERER DROWNED. -
Last evening, about the time the steam
er Keokuk was leaving Winona for La
Crosse, Captain Joseph Newton, who
was at the time acting mate of the boat,
was attacked by black man, whose
name We cannot learn. (but who was
engaged as deck hand on the boat, J
and very nearly killed. The weapon
used was razor, and the captain re-
ceived several very severe, though not
fatal cuts, on the head. An attempt
was made to capture the rascal, but he
succeeded in jumping overheard and
was drowned-thereby averting a more
righteous death that of hanging. The
occasion of the attack, we understand,
was an old grudge which the villain
had against Captain Newton. The body
of the wretch has not been looked for

A HerrlbIe Dealh from Intemperause.

On Tuesday morning, says the Wash
ington Intelligencer of the LIST, Officer
Hill, of the Seventh Police Precinct,
arrested, in the vicinity of Seventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue, and
took to he station house, a man who
gave his name as James Moore, and
who was suffering with mania-a-potu.
He was ragged, filthy and badly shod;
but he was recognized as one who had
seen better days, an engineer by pro.
fession, and one who had frequently
been seen on the streets with the ali
and manner of gentleman, and he
accordingly excited the commisseration
of the police officers, who made efforts
to End his friends. The man was In
snch condition as to be almost unin.
telligible; but the police gathered from
his mutterings that he had been EN-.
ployed in the Quartermaster Depart.
ment, though, upon enquiry, they
were unable to find any person
who knew him. In the evening
of Tuesday, the man Moore, hav.
ing recovered his sobriety, was
let off. Where he spent the night is
not known; but on Wednesday he was
| found IN MIR. Long woodward, on 4tl
street, laboring under violent attack
of delirium tremens. Mr.. Lord admin
istered to his necessities during the
day, and on Wednesday afternoon al
o'clock officer Lewis took him again
to the station house. Justice Water
was at the moment hearing cases, and
while standing at the bar, Moore's
whole body became suddenly rigid,
and he would have fallen upon the floor
had he not been caught by officers
Lewis and Grant, who supported him
to one of the cells, and seated him
upon bench, supposing that what was
apparently a spasm, the result of 'ex-
cessive drinking, would soon pass off.
Half an hour Afterwards officer Grant
took another prisoner to the cells, and
spoke TO Moore, but received no an
swer, and an examination revealed the
fact that he was dead. The body was
laid out decently by the police. The
coroner was summoned and held an in
quest, when a verdict was rendered IN
accordance with the facts stated.

kidnapping Girls
[From the New York Sun.

The police records make MS acquaint-
ed with the alarming fact that within
the last three weeks no less than sixty
girls are known to have been stolen
from their homes in this city for the
worst purposes. How mauy more cases
of the same kind have occurred which
are unknown to the public is a matter
of terrible conjecture Thel crime of
kidnapping childred and young girls
has increased lately TO a frightful ex-
tent. Either by strategy or force the
ranks of the most wicked and abandon
ed class are constantly recruited from
among the virtuous and innocent. both
an town and country. 1t is one of the
NEST hideous qualities of the social
evil that, Mol0ch like, it is perpeiually
drawing new victims into its fatal gulf
of infamy. The most active agents in
this nefarious trafic, sad as it NAV
seem, are women, who, under pretence
of friendship and offers OF high wages,
succeed IN tempting youth and inno-
cence to take the first sep in a career
of sin and shame. It is enough to
alarm the boldest to think that girl of
fourteen can be snasehed up
in the middle of the day in
our crowded streets and carried to q
place secure from the utmost vigilance
of the police, Death itself is less
dreaded than the fate into which these
unfortunate girls are plunged beyond
hope or chance of reclamation. Pa
rents will dread to let their children
run at large if such glaring crimes can
go undecided. This evil, great as it
is, Is one far more prevalent than is
generally supposed. The public hear
OF only a few accidental cases for the
reason that the distressed relatives and
friends OF the girl thus lost are natur-
ally anxious to keep their sorrow quiet,
and avoid the implied disgrace that
often attaches to such misfortune. But
even at the risk OF wounding private
feelings, 1T would be safer for the pub
lie generally that the frequency OF this
atroclous practice should be made
known far and wide, chat ali may be on
their guard against the villainous
agents who stalk abroad in day time on
our streets, and whose accomplices
Turk unsupported in almost every vii
lage Ia the land, for the purpose of
dragging souls to perdition. lie will be
dIsgraceful If our police authorities
cannot very materially mitigate, il not
altogether prevent, this appalling dan
ger.

FREEDarEN IN MARYLAND AND DEIl

FREEDMEN IN MARYLAND AND DEIA-
WARE. General Gregory, assistant COM
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau
for Delaware and Maryland, in his re-
port for the past Iarter, just rendered,
seems to be we'll satisfied with the con-
dition OF the colored people of the for
mer state. He says that in Delaware
labor is plentiful and idleuess is not
prevalent; there are no complaints
from the freedmen. Without showing
that the freedmen in Maryland have
complained, be charges that their con-
dition has not been materially amend
ed by the action of the late legislature,
and alludes to the failure of the bill
giving equality before the courts after
it had passed the House of Delegates.
So far as the administration of justice
and protection in the rights of labor is
concerned, he admits that their condi-
ton is satisfactory.
