Much has been said in Northern
papers of the insecurity of life and
property in Northern Alabama, and
the Radical knave who governs North
Carolina has sought by every possible
agency toexasperate the North against
the South. Therefore the invocation
of the militia in North Carolina. But
in what does North Carolina, even if
in as bad condition as Holden as
serts, differ from Pennsylvania, and
should not Pennsylvania b. recon
structed? In some of the country
districts, not far from Philadelphia,
murders are painfully frequent. A
boy was lately attacked by robbers
near MiddlepOrt, but escaped, though
two shots passed through his hat.
Commenting on this occurrence, the
Miners Journal, Of Pottsville, Penn,
says: sit is strange that farmers will
allow their sons, mere boys, to 90 on
errands Of this kind alone and with
out firearms, after the terrible warn
ing5 they have had of the danger con-
nected with them. The murder OF
young Yohe, but a few weeks ago,
near Shenandoah, should have been q
sufficient warning 10 all farmers in
the county that no man or boy should
drive to market alone with anything
to sell. The roadsides throughout the
county it would seem are lined with
hungry men, who, through despera-
ton, are driven to this method Of
maintaining themselves. They are
cowardly, and will not attempt an
open-handed fight, but will shoot
down their victims in cold blood, from
ambush, without moments warn
ing, for the sake of securing a few
paltry dollars. We can give our
farmers no better advice than tell
them not to venture TO market alone,
but in all cases let two or three go to-
gether, and let them go well armed
and prepared to meet the sssassins
who lurk In ambush and wait for their
prey"

A Local Legislature in ireland.

The FreemOR'S Journal refers to the
movement foI "the establishment of
a local Legislature" in Ireland, which
"segms," it says, "tO be taking root
rapidly and spreading widely among
the mercantile ard professional classes
of Dublin. as well as among the cOun-
try gentry" The form the question
is likely to assume Is "a demand that
the local affairs of ireland be managed
and controlled by local assembly in
Ireland, and that all imperial affairs
be controlled by an Imperial Assem-
bly,, in which ireland, England and
Scotland shall be respectively repre-
sented." The freeman is quite pre-.
pared to recognize in the obstruction
OF ascendency and the disestablish-
ment Of the church" the removal of a
great obstacle to national union; but
il wishes TO utter a warning ITO pre-
vent disappointment hereafter" "A
cordial, frank recognition Of the status
and rights OF each class and body must
precede the commingling Ofthe nations
1Ronqan Catholic and Protestant Ire
landl in one compact mass. These
words Of fraternity without the sub
stantial recognition Of equality viii
not do. Neither must there be q
eounterblast to the call to nations
restoration, indicating that the res
toratiOn is to be based on the humilie-
ton Of any class or body, or on the
ostracism of another from the rights
and duties Of citizenship"

Sculptured and painted, while his cru

he is as coarse and dirty as he IS

fee to hide his moral nakeGness. HIS
cultural utterings about his "Great

Reduction Of Postage Between the
United States and the kGrth
German Union.

An additional postal convention
has been recently concluded between
the United States and the North
German Union, to take effect on the
lst of this month, which reduces
the rate CT international postage for
prepaid letters, exchanged by closed
mail via England, from fifteen TO
ten cents for each half ounce or un-
der, and for prepaid letters, exchanged
by direct steamer to and from Bre-
men or Hamburg, from ten to seven
cents per half an ounce or under. Un-
paid letters are to be charged double
the prepaid rates, and the insufficient
Iy paid letters with the postage for
unpaid letters after deduction OF the
amount prepaid. The existing plan
for levying and collecting fines on
unpaid and insufflciently paid let
ters is discontinued by this additional
convention. No change is made In
the existing rates of postage on news
papers, book packets, and samples of
merchandise but the full prepay
ment of the postage on all such cor
respondence is made obligatory. If
not fully prepaid, such articles will
not be forwarded In the mails to
either country. The; provisions of
this additional convention are alike
applicable to the correspondence for
all parts of Germany, Austria, and
Iuxemberg, which together form the
North German postal union.

NEW YORK, July 1.-AbOut l2:45
this morning, a fire broke out in Dun

spread so rapidly that at 1880 am,
nearly all that region embraced be-

and including the lumber yards OF
Dable d Meigs, Derby, Snow d Prem
tiss, and others, together with a
planning mill, bell factory and ma
chine shop, etc., on Green, Washing

time in flames. The entire fire de-
partment of Jersey City turned out,
but the fire had gained such headWay
and spread with such rapidity on
them that all their labors could not
control it. One large tenement
house was destroyed, and sew
eral small ones. About three
years ago the same district was burn
ed over. The fire is still spreading,
and it is believed that the loss will
not fall short of one million dollars.
