Another Famine in Iceland.

The public will be grieved to learn
that present indications point unmis-
takably to another famine in Ireland.
Such at least is the impression in the
Northern cities, and all accounts agree
that the prospects are gloomy indeed.
The New York World says:
"we have had in the past two days
an excited market for Indian corn on
the Produce Exchange of the city; large
quantities have been bought for ship
ment to ireland. Ii 10 stated that the
steamers OF fSunday and Monday brought
private advices that the supply of pOta-
toes and other vegetables is proving de-
ficient in Ireland, and that there are no
means of feeding the peasantry of that
country until another harvest except
with the Indian corn that may
be obtained from the United States.
The stock of corn in this market is
rather liberal for the season, and the
arrivals at the Western markets are al
80 large. A moderate quantity, favor
ed by low railroad freights, is coming
forward by rail, and Maryland and Yir-
ginia promise considerable supplies;
but prices, in the face of these eircum-
stances, have advanced five cents per
bushel since Monday morning, and close
with an upward tendency. 1t is pro-
bable that corn can now be shipped
from Buffalo to Liverpool at lower
rates than month hence, because,
with large supplies by canal, ocean
freights will advance largely. The
nearer West may therefore reap a pres
ent advantage, by pushing forward
supplies in advance of deliveries by ca
nal. Fsa ..HH
The crop of corn last year was very
large, but its quality was scarcely up
to the average. If the reports from Ire
land should be confirmed, prices may be
expected to rule pretty high, though it
is not probable the present extreme
figures may be maintained.

The press of the country seems to be
unanimously of the opinion that the
Radical Legislatures, of which there
.r so many, are badly demoralized.
whatever other differences Of opinion
NAV divide the newspapers, they are
nr,tty generally agreed that the men
who have been doing the law making
for the "loyalty' of the country are
5Il,d with rs much moral rottenness rs
their constitutions will bear. Official
corruption ,and all uncleanness have

;,a.e rascality they have lived and acted

tracts from leading journals of both
Radical and Democratic stamp, in ex-
posure and censure of the representatives
of Radicalism assembled in the Legis-
,atures of the North, but We find that
the wrongs of which they complain are
hv no means confined To the older
States. The taint has beer spreading;
the Infection has been extending to
other and newer portions of the coun-
try. where it was supposed tl.at the Of
fetal turpitude that marks the Radi-
calism of the older section, had not yet

OF March sth gives the following ac-
count of the defunct Legislature ofNev-
ada:
The State breathes freer, the Third
Nevada Legislature having expired by
rhe grace of God and provision of the
Constitution. We trust and hope that
there is no hope Of its resuscitation for
the duties of an extra session. The
two notable political acts ofits perform
ance will rescue its'name from total OBJ
scurity. We refer TO the election of
Senator Nye and the passage of the con-
stitutional amendments. The general
tei.or of its conduct is by no means cred
liable to itself as a whole or the State
which it was elected to serve. Its work
ing majority seems to have been too
mnch influenced by insignificant trlfies
and unworthy motives. Indeed, one
cannot hut conclude that an undue pro-
portion of members were prompted to
aspire<o legislative honors by no high
er OF better motives than such as are
ascrihed TO time. servers and spoil seek
ers. Perhaps this. is partly due to the
manner in which United States Senator'S
are elected. Doubtless it is. Be this as
it may, an impartial Judgment of the
late Legislature, while it will not be
blind to the men of real ability and in.
flexible honesty which is reckoned
among its members, must pronounce its
average character to have been remark
ably inferior to the standard of Ameri-
can Legislatures in general. Giving. 1T
full credit for the good which it has
done, We congratulate the people of the
State upon its dispersion among its
rightful masters, the sovereign people.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Post says General Butler occu-
pies considerable time in gathering ma.
terial with which to meet his antago-
mist, Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio. The Horld
says: For weeks past, Butler has i'm
portuned, by correspondence, a visit
FROM John T. Ford, of Baltimore-fa-
nous as the owner and manager of the
theatre in which the tragedy of assassi-
nation transpired. Now it is obvious
that Butler has nothing to ask of Mr..
Ford that does not directly af-
ect the conspiracy and tend to
bring out hidden facts thereON The
inducement undoubtedly lies in the
knowledge that Mr.. Ford was kept a
close prisoner in Carol Prison for some
six weeks after the assassination, to-
gether with other parties who were un-
derstood to be more or less intimately
known to the principal conspirators.
During this time Mr.. Ford kept jour
nal not alone of his own impressions
concerning the exciting event then
transpiring outside his Jail, but also
inclusive Of conversations and invol-
untary remarks, growing out of the
discussions that ensued between him
self and the others whom suspicion had
apprehended and detained. The wit
ness Weiehman was of the party, and
under the sore fear at that time
possessed him, of being irre-
trievably involved in the as
sassination plot, his intimations and
gratuitons remarks in self-justifcation
were of the least Importance in making
up in theory, those portions OF the
dreadful plot, which only the active
participants could circumstantially
have supplied. Having noted these i'm
pressions, and prison life observations
with careful e1actitude, Mr.. Ford's jour
nal now comes to be thing of coveted
regard by Butler. Everything goes to
show that in the qualification OF this
craving, Butler has succeeded. Ford
Yielded to the consultation desired about
a fortnight ago, and is himself individ-
us lly anxious that all he knows OF the
great tragedy of his stage may be fully
and officially get forth. -a
