The news we receive from our special cor
respondents in Ireland, as well as the infor-
nation otherwise obtained regarding the con-
dtion of the crops in that unfortunate country,
is not at all encouraging. The prospects are
gloomy enough to justify the anticipation
that the poorer classes, especially those in
the country districts, will suffer severely
during the coming winter. The yield Of the
wheat, oats aud barley crops has decreased,
and comparison with that of last year shows
that the diminuticn will be considerably lower
than what was expected. The turnip crop
has also fallen of. To swell, as 1t were, the
miseries of the Irish tenant farmer, to add to
bis misfortunes and render his difficulties more
perplexing the potato blight has again visited
his fields. In the south 1t is estimated that
one-third of the yield will prove bad, while
in other parts we are told that from one-half TO
two-thrds Of the present crop will turn out
unsound. This Is melancholy record, and
the facts we record may be productive of new
troubles among the poorer classes. A penti-
ful harvest brings peace and happiness to the
cotters home, but with short yields and dis
eased crops discomfort and disturbances are
likely to follow.

LATEST FROM PERsIA.-Our latest advices
from Persia confirm all that has been hereto
fore reported of famine, pestilence, insurrec-
tions, hostile invasions and all the sufferings,
horrors and confusion attending them in that
unhappy land. The worst Of 1t is that the
government, In the midst Of these overwhelm-
ing distres,es, appears to be not only unable
in any way to relieve its suffering people, but
domestic foes or hostile invaders. 1t will be
one Of the wonders of the world if Russia,
with this inviing opportunity, shall decline to
walk in and take possession of the lands OF
the grand old empire Of the Medes and
Persians

The North Carolina Outlaws.

The letter from our correspondent in North
Carolina, to be found in another column, dis
closes condition of affairs in that State m ost
disgraceful to the authorities at Raleigh and
the general government. In Robson county
for eight years past band of outlaws num-
bering not more than a dozen, have been mur-
dering and robbng at will, in defiance of the
local and State authorities. Intrenched in
swamp they bade defiance to the forces sent
against then, and actually laughed at the
United States troops. Two companies of the
latter recently joined the State forces in an
expedition against the murderers and failed
miserably. The Lowrey band hold its position,
and, in fact, the county. 1t being clear to
the citizens that nothing is to be expected
from the troops, it is now determined TO use
bioodhounds.
Now, we cannot bpt believe that the
distrust of the military is we'll found
ed. A commander Of troops, on an
expedition against an armed force, who
would let his men wander from camp
without their arms, permit the ''enemy"
to enter that camp at night and stay
long enough to engrave his name on rife
stock, write an insulting letter and go away
unmolested, is scarcely calculated to inspire
confidence. And we are assured that all this
was done. But the most extraordinary cir
cumstance connected with this disgraceful
business is that the commander Of the State
troops met the chief of the murderers with "a
flag of truce" and actually entered into
negotiations with him for ga treaty of peace. I"
We hope this is on exaggeration, but if it be
true, there are no words in the vocabulary
strong enough to denounce the action.
If the troops could not find the path into
the swamp by which the outlaws 80 often
emerged, surely they could have shelled the
villains out Of their hiding place or starved
them into submission. This should have been
done If it took all the soldiers in the South to
accomplish it. 1t is dangerous thing to
acknowledge, as North Carolina virtually has
done, that contemners Of the law are stronger
than the law

THE FIRES IN THE WESTERN FORESTS we
are glad to hear from an eyewitness have
been greatly exaggerated, and that they have
not been so extensive and destructive as to
disturb the general prosperity Of the country.
The proclamations, however, of the Governors
of Michigan and Wisconsin establish the fact
that while hundreds Of lives have been lost
by these fires, thousands Of people, including
many helpless women and children, are left
homeless and destitute, and in need, not so
much of relief for their immediate wants, as
for their necessities for the long winter that is
just before them. The generous contributions
of our citizens, therefore. for the benefit Of
those unfortunate people will not be lost; for
the Governors Of the States concerned will
see to it that these moneys are not misappIied
or wasted e

future something should be done to improve
our financial and commercial situation. The
greatness that awaits us may be retarded, in
spite Of the natural advantages we possess,
unless we show more wisdom In the manage
ment of our affairs. A great deal, no doubt,
depends upon the conduct of the federal gov
ernment. Production, and, consequently, the
equalze the foreign trade, without such con-
slant drain Of specie, are checked by exces-
sive taxation and high prices. The govern
ment at Washington has been pursuing a
damaging policy 70 the best interests of the
nation by raising enormous and unnecessary
revenues. There was no necessity to raise an
enormous income with view Of paying the
national debt at the rate Of hundred millions
or more year. The credit Of the govern
ment did not call for this, and, indeed, IL is
doubtful II its credit has been improved by 1t.
Then such vast revenues, besides Expressing
the people and crippling industry, have stimu-
lated extravagant expenditures, corrupt jobs
and general decentralization. The Secretary Of
the Treasury end the party In power seem to
have but one object in view, and that is
to make political capital out Of liquidating the
debt. Mr. Boutwell, neither saw nor seemed
to care about the ultimate consequences Of
such runous policy. He only looked to the
effect politically for the time being. If the
deluge should come after he would not care,
50 long as he could attain the immediate OBJ
ject in view. The debt could be better paid
hereafter, when the country will be richer
and more populous. 1t is good medium Of
investment for institutions and aggregated
capital that need such a safe and permanent
security. In every way y would be better
TO leave the debt alone and to take the burden
Of taxation from the people, Unfortunately,
we have Congress as stupid as the Secretary
about financial matters. If that body would
reduce taxation to the lowest point build up
our shipping interests, abandon its policy of
protecting few manufacturers at the cost Of
the mass Of the people, and stop extravagant
expenditures, we should soon approximate
specie payments, prices would come down
and exports would increase. What we really
want to bring about this necessary reform in
our financial policy are ADLER men in the ad-
ministration and In Congress. The small
politicians that rule now are too much i'm
bued with the war ideas and extravaganza
under which they came to the surface and
into power.

Wcmen's Rights In Eaypt.Tho vlccr0y'4

That Ismail Pacha, the present ruler Of
Egypt, Is bold man very few persons will
care to gainsay. By his very daring he
attracts attention, gains respect and helps to
elevate the country he rules over in the ewes
Of the world. For an Oriental he ia really a
live man in the fullest sense Of the term as IL
Is understood in this country. Since the onen-
ing of the Suez Canal he has been more than
ordinarily active in pushing forward improve
ments, correcting abuses and abolishing tho
numerous evils existing throughout Egypt.
All these, however, are small In comparison
with movement now under way, by direc-.
tion Of the irrepressible viceroy. His latest
scheme is nothing less than the establishment,
of schools for the education OF females. The.
veil is to be dispensed With, and European
customs, so far as they relate to the improve
ment and development of the young females OF
his dominions, are to be introduced. OF
course, there will be an awful row in the
Egyptian camp when this other innova-
ton Of the Khedive comes to be put
into force. 1t is not to be supposed
for moment that the customs of centuries
arc to be overthrowu because of the desire Of
one man. We feel that most Of the old fogy
Mussulmans will regard the action of their
chief with holy horror. This, however, will
not influence Ismail Pacha to abandon what is
really grand undertaking, and movement
worthy of the age in which we live. The en-
ployment of American officers in the Egyptian
army was matter of surprise to the Orientals.
The Sultan Of Turkey partook Of the excite
ment, and the action Of the go-ahead Viceroy
somewhat alarmed him. Since then the ruler
OF Egypt has been introducing other modern Inn
provemcnts, and under his wise and vigorous
government thu country is rapidly advancing.
This last scheme, relative to the educaton
Of women, is certainly one of the boldest
contemplated, and cannot be too highly COM
mended. We see In the recent moves of the
Khedive, by giving greater liberty to his
people, by improving the condition Of Egyp..
tian women, by the encouragement he lends
to all scientific enterprises by stimulating
commercial schemes and helping to develop
the resources of the nation, desire to elevate
Egypt to position Of importance among the
countries of the earth. The Suez Canal
brings Egypt in close connection with the
nations of Southern Europe, and the rail-
road projects and coast improvements now
going on under the direction of the Khedive's
government will help to draw the East still
closer to the West. Ismail Pacha is an OBJ
servant and wise ruler, and possessed Of
daring sufficient to carry into effect innova-
tions which would cause less courageous men
to hesitate and stand sill.

SINGULAR CONDOLENCES. s.-The story about

fire of a Bible with oil its leaves burned ex-
cepting chapter of Lamentations in which
reference is made to an isolated city, and so

like most singular condolences" 1t should

THE TRIAL OF WILLIAM RUDD for the mur-
der of his wife, by throwing her out OF
third story tenement house window, is now in
Tie evidence shows that tho act of murder
was most horrible, one witness tcstifying that
the accused had seized his wife bodily and
showed her out of the window, breaking her
hold on the sill as she clung there with her
fingers for dear life. The trial Is not yet
ended

TnB CAPToRs OF TIE HORTON, the Glou-
cester schooner cut out from Guysboro, N. S.,
are still enjoying themselves over their ex-
plot; but according to our Washington
despatchesthe two governments are keeping
very cool and calm over what is such an excit-
ing topic to the fishermen. England aud Amer
lea evidently do not intend to be driven to
war with each other by the nonsensical blus-
tering aud 6libustering bravado of either
eshermen or Fenans.

Mrs. FAIR's CASE, on her appeal for new
trial, is to be heard on the oath inst in the
California Supreme Court The elections,
upon which that lady seemed to depend for
fair trial, have resulted in deposing the party
dominant during her previous trial, and the
Supreme Court has been made republican in
part by the election. OF course we do not see
that politics can affect the case at all; but
since Mrs. Fair thinks so, 1t Is satisfactory to
know that one Of her objections TO trial bv
that Court Ii removed.

to show up polygamy in its true light to the
decent people Of the rest of the world

The Bangor Cclcbra tion-Ths Eu


and North American Railroad.
The great Bangor celebration of Wednesday,
last at which President Grant, Lord Lisgar,
the Governor General of Canada, and numer-
Gus other distinguished officials "from both
sides of the line" assisted, was in honor of the
United States section of the European and
North American Railway to the New Bruns-
wick frontier. Thence they have road in
operation to st. John, N. B., and thence to
Shediac Bay, on the Northumberland Strait Of
the Gulf of st. Lawrence, the strait which
separates Prince Edward Island from the
main land. From Shediac Bay the road,
passing round the heads of both branches of
the Bay Of Fundy, takes a southerly direc-
ton to Halifax, N. s.; but south of Shediac
Bay small section of the road remains to be
completed; for otherwise the Bangor celebra-
tion would have been carried through in a
long train or two to Halifax.
This short gap will shortly be closed up,
and then from New York, nine hundred and
forty-four miles, we shall have continuous
line Of railway to Halifax, which will shorten
the transit time between New York and Liver
pool at least thirty six hours, or two business
days. Hence the title of ''The European and
North American Railway given to this line
from Bangor eastward is not inaptly applied
for 1t will absorb very large proportion Of
the passenger traffic of the Atlantic steamers
in both directions, and will make Halifax an
important halfway house to travellers from
all parts Of the United States and the New
Dominion bound to Europe, and to travellers
from Europe bound this way, or southward
even to New Orleans, or westward even to
San Francisco. The road will be apt to make
a prosperous city Of Halifax, and will contri-
butte immensely to the development of New
Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova
Scotia-aelds, forests, mines and nshcries-in
bringing their products 80 much nearer to the
markets OF the United States-coal, Goldfish,
mackerel and potatoes. But the European
and North American features of the road will
be the shortening Of the time between New
York and Liverpool two or three DAYS

CRssIoN OF JERSEY TO PENNSYLVANIA

''PooR PARIS" Too.-The most touching OF
all the movements for the relief of Chicago is
that of ''poor Paris still struggling to get on
her feet from her late terrible scourges Of
war, revolution, sieges, commandments, in
cendiary fires and all the horrors Of the Com
mnne. How small are the sufferings Of Chi
cago compared with the calamiies of ''poor
Paris!" and yet she, too, comes to the relief
OF Chicago. There is nothing TO compare
with this in the history of mankind. 'Poor
Paris"-delightful, generous Paris-with all
thy faults we cannot help but love thee still.
