Irish American, Mass Meeting in New York;
Governor Holman Denounced--Incendiary
Speech, &c.
Neio York, July 20.-There was an
Irish-American mass meeting here last
night, at which resolutions were passed de-
nouncing Governor Hoffman for permitting
the Orange parade.
Mr.. Stephen j. Meary was the principal
speaker. He asked: .'How can we ayenge
the blood of the men which has been
shed? How are we to secure proper pro-
lection in this country for the men of our
race? Shall Orlngemen and Know-Noth-
ingism rule this city? Never! Never!
last be permitted again? Never! Never |!
When | saw the dead bodies, my blood
curdled in my soul and prayed to God
that | would live to see the day when the
act would be avenged" [Cheers.]
"It was hard to see armed ruffians striking
down innocent men and women for the
crime of looking upon the foolish Orange
men. Women had been made widows and
children orphans for the caprice of one man
in Albany, who came to New York to re-
woke the humane order of the mayor.
A voice, "Hang him on lamp-post.
mo, no, my friends, | pledge myself
that every drop of blood shed on that day
shall be legally avenged, if there be law in
New York. Never again shall such an oc-
currence be permitted in New York. New
er again shall organized ruffians be allowed
to insult Irish citizens who have fought to
uphold the constitution of the United
States. [Cheersl. The Legislature must
prohibit such professions in future.

votes of Irishmen never! never
| Educational Convention in Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., July 2o.-The State
convention of teachers and school superin-
tendent of Alabama resolved, to-day, by
an unanimous vote, that the education OF
the colored race was duty and high privi-
lege of the white race, and that the csnven-
ton concur in any measure calculated to
accomplish this result.

case Of Samuel Miller, executor, against the
Board ofthe Literary Fund and others, COM
menced to-day. Argument likely to last
all the week.

DEMOCRATIC ExTRAvAGANCE.

I The Essex Gazette justly complains of
the cost to taxpayers imposed by the pres
ent registration law of Virginia. There are
s4s election precincts in the.State, requiring
S4S registrars for each precinct. Each
of these registrars are to set nine days dur
ing the year, as follows: Five daysin April
recording names of those not previously
registered who may apply to be placed on
the lists; two days for revision of lists be-
fore May election, and two days for revision
of lists before November election. Eight
hundred and forty-eight registrars claiming
SO per diem each for nine days requires
S2O, 500, and SO each for services for pre-
pairing and posting lists of qualified voters,
$2,544, and it gives an aggregate of $685.
40, exclusive of contingent expenses,
which are considerable.
Now who is responsible for this waste Of
the peoples money? We answer-the
Democratic majority in the Legislature.
A bill was prepared and introduced by a
Republican member, which proposed to re-
duce the settings of the registrars to five
days during tho year, three prior to spring
election and two prior to fall election
which would have saved to the people
s12, ,720, and give ample time for all quail
fed voters to register. The bill was
smothered in committees, and buried under
mass of party schemes. A.
Perhaps the Essex Gazette may not be
fully posted. Are not Democratic regis
trar and Democratic canvasser synony-
nous? and may he not, in his honest fault
finding, tread upon the corns of some
prominent engineers of his party machine ?
If, however, the Gazette is eriticising from
motives of honest patriotism, he will find
much in the records of the late Democratic
legislation which deserves the condemnation
Of all who place country before self or
party.

Il Collision. 10 o'clock last night,
a terrible accident occurred on Franklin
street, near Second, which resulted in the
killing ofa horse and severely injurying ano-
ther, frightening number Of persons in and
outside the carriage.
The carriage which inflicted the injury
upon the horse was not engaged in the race
referred to by the Dispatch, neither did the
writer of the account in that paper intend
to make that impression. Two carriages
acere racing, or supposed to be, down Frank
lin street near Second, when they were met
by a Mr.. Rose, who was going up Franklin
on horseback.
In attempting to pass the carriage driven
by Wallace Shelton, and owned by Mr..
Morrison, the poll or tongue of it struck
his horse with such force as to break it. In
breaking, it left sharp end, which, driven
by the impetus of the carriage, and renew
ed by the sudden fright of the horses, en-
tered the side of the horse ridden by Mr..
Rose, resulting in his death. We are not
aware that any blame attaches to the dri-
yer, who probably could not have avoided
the accident. Ae1-i-t.
The death of the horse and the escape
from serious injury of Mr., Rose, was, be-
yond doubt, the result of the race between
two carriages, neither of which actually
inflicted the injury.
This habit is frequently indulged in by
the hackmen of this city, and should be
made a serious offence against the laws,
punishable by heavy and severe penalties.

A Serious If not Fatal accident on the
DaariUe Raih0ad. - Yesterday morning as
one of the many trains on the Danyille rail-
road was going up near Coalfield, woman
was discovered by the engineer walking on
the track, but too late to stop the train.
She was knocked off by the cow-catcher, and
when taken up was found to be in a sense
less condition, and bleeding from the ears
and nose. Our informant did not think any
of her bones were broken. She was seen
in Manchester early that morning. She
was colored woman and unknown to
our reporter. . s7T

THE SALMON MURDER.

No greater outrage has ever been perpe-
trated upon the people of this State, than
the turning loose of the dou lie murderer,
Salmon, of Albemarle. ,a8
The law upon which he was discharged
is not to blame; for, without it, men
charged with crime, might, through the ne
glect orwilful intent of the Commonwealth Is
Attorneys, be imprisoned for life. The
Judge but obeyed the law i'll discharging
isalmon. Who, then, is responsible for the
escape of this once convicted, damnable
murderer? None other than the Common
wealth's Attorney of the county of Albe-
marie. 4 iatig.-
He stands charged with such a neglect Of
duty as has resulted in Enchanting hellish
monster in community of peaceful citi-
zers, whose reverence for law alone will
induce them to permit the criminal to
escape.
That officer may have reasons for his
neglect of so plain duty, and it is due not
only to himself. but to the public, to lay
before the world the cause of his action.
Salmon was charged with the murder Of
his own mother and brothcr-has once
been tried and convicted of the crime,
but obtained new trial, for some cause
which we do not now remember. s-'R p
In spite of this fact, making his guilt
more certain than otherwise, we
find an officer of the Commonwealth
so neglectful of his plain duty as to
enable the felon to escape the penalties Of
the law.
Had this officer been a Republican, no
power on earth would have saved him from
the execrations Of. every Democratic paper
in the State.
We state the case simply as it now APP
pears, hoping that the party particularly
interested, will be enabled to furnish the
public with good reasons for his action.
The same facts were in possession Of ere,y
Richmond paper yesterday, who, thus far,
have been silent with reference to the. mat
ter.

Mise Daniels Come to Judgment Yes
terday afternoon, as we entered one OF the
city cars, we overheard several gentlemen
engaged in conversing about case recently
tried here. They all agreed jury had no
right to pronounce a man guilty and then
ask Executive clemency, and that Governor
Walker had declared his opposition to this
mode of shifting responsibility upon him.
For the benefit of persons of such opinions
we state, that jurors are sworn to render a
verdict in accordance with the ''law and
evidence"
Cases arise every day of violation Of
ldo, which make it obligatory upon juries
to find parties guilty, and yet they are in
nocent in the eyes of the community. Let
lis furnish an example. But for public
sentiment the man who kills the seducer Of
his wife or daughter, would be adjudged
guilty of murder, and, if jurors did their
sworn duty under the lao, every such man
would be pronounced murderer. If a
Jury convicted man under such circum-
stances, would they not have the right and
would they not act right, to, at the same
time, recommend the party for mercy?
The loic, in its infexible sternness, re-
quires men at times to convict, who would
gladly be relieved of its responsibilities.
Under such circumstances, they are justi-
fled in asking executive interference. No
nobler action is performed by man than to
do his duty while regretting the necessity
which forced it upon him,

II Looks That Way Judging from
what we see in our Democratic papers of
Petersburg and Richmond, some wedge
seems insinuating itself in the old rotten
log of Democracy. We hear slight
cracking, see the rotten parts opening, and
would not be surprised if the last blow of
the mawl does not drive home the wedge
in the next few days, and discover its hol-
low heart, filled with worm-eaten dust and
Shiny insects.
There is division III the Democratic at
mosphere, but how could it be otherwise,
since its composition is old and bitter an
tagonists, who,. in days past, gored the
earth, paved the dust, and beloved at
each other like mad bulls?

This is, beyond all question, the most

Lake George, the Lake of Como of the Uni

it is, to be regretted that art has not done
more. The architecture of the large hotel
