A Famine in ireland Apprehended

There are serious apprehensions
in Ireland of another famine. The
Irish peasantry in some parts of
the island are writing to their
friends in this country that the ut
most anxiety prevails IN regard to
the food supply, and that fears are
entertained of widespread aud terri
BILE destilutiOn. Information de-
rived from entirely different sources
leads to the conclusion that there is
too much reason for the prevailing
apprehension. a writer in an En-
elish journal, who has made a spe-
cial tour through Great Britain for
the express purpose of ascertaining
the condition of the crops, and who
is recognized as an authority on
such subjects. estimates the value
of the potato crop to be less in value
by seventeen millions of pounds
sterling than that of an average
year, and of this loss more than
one half falls on Ireland. If this
estimate is correct, it may be con-
sidered certain that great distress
will exist the coming winter among
the poorer classes, who depend prin-
cIpally upon their potato patches
for subsistence. The wheat crop of
Great Britain is also likely TO fall
tar short of an average one.

Straight Out.

of that stupendous humbug, the

his attention to publishing this pa

While looking over the columns
of the Irue Democrat, we were re-
minded of the old story of the coon.
An old coon who had a first rate
hole, and who had surrounded him
self with all the coon comforts,
went out one day to forage. On
returning home he fonnd some
strange animal comfortably coiied
up in his nest, which afterwards
proved to be skunk. After an
intent survey of the "critur," he
said to him, &c who are your The
thing replied, "a coon ; come to
see YOU TIL. old coon said, "your
voice Is not that of coon; you
don't look like u coon, and L be
id if you smell like coon -
whereupon, he fell upon him and
gave him. a good thrashins, and
compelled him to leave.
Blanton Duncan and the Straight
outs, are trying to assume the char
acter Of genuine Democrats, while
they are really in the interest of
Grant, and the only way to treat
them is to serve them as the old
coon did the skunk.-Eufdula Ne,cs.

The Robbery of the South.

Hon. S. S. Cox made a brilliant
campaign speech in New York
Tuesday night, in which he spoke
as follows about the robbery of the
South by Grants carpet-baggers:
Talk to those Southern men of
Arkansas and South Carolina on
the tariff and on matters of Federal
taxation, and the fiscal policy of the
Government, you might as well talk
to the wind. Do you talk to a man

Ku-Klux Committee. l offered a
resolution with regard to the State
debts and the other sources OF
Southern mpoverishment and dis
content. The majority voted it
down, but we finally got to the
cause of all the trouble, and it was
just bad government, not the enor-
motls taxation alone, the mal-ad-
ministration of justice alone, but
all the various causes combined.
We found that over two hundred
and fif,y millions dollars of debts
had been piled on the States Of the
South, and nothing to show for it
-uot poor house, not a court
house, not hospital, not peni-
Tertiary, although they were much
needed there. Laughter. And
there they stand in all the Southern
States, asking that we give them
relief from this disbursements aud
be-devilment, and say, the man who
will put down this oppression and
restore peace is Horace Greeley.
Applause
Aud if Greeley is not elected, by
his candidature we have SIN othered
down the asperities between the
sections we bring up a better state
of feeling, more in accord with the
spirit which should animate the

u That incorrigibie old fanatic
Wendell Phillips. who recently ex-
pressed the slavish sentiment that
Grant might rule over us "until
every Southern man over forty
years of age was buried,' received
this rebuke from the coloIeu men of
the National Convention lately in
session at Loulsville:.
WHEREAS, Wendell Phillips, who,
owing to his personal ill-wiIl to-
wards Horace Greeley. counsels the
colored people OF the United States
to vote against that noble repre-
sentative of constitutional liberty,
and. providing Greeley is elected,
he advises us to arm, and arm im-
mediately; therefore, be it
Resoirad, That we, the National
Liberal Colored Convention, do de-
nOunce such counsel as impOlitic,
iniudicious, and unpatriOtic, calcu-
lated, if needed, to hurl US to de-
structiOn and annihilatiOn, and is
only the outgrowth of envy and
personal differences, and utter dis
regard for the rights and welfare of
the colOred man, and the peace and

Q. Why is it not good to smoke

these habits are very filthy, and

and the use of it debases men.
Some of the hymns, too, smack
of desperate conspiracy against

couraging 10 the opponents of the
Grant Administrations. We have

publicans gain two Congressman
and lose one. d. w. VorEees is

The Democratic Committee claim
net gain on the returns from 80
counties on the vote of 1865, which.
with partial returns and estimated
majoiitieS from the balance of the
State, will elect Hendricks by 1000
majority.
The vote is so close that it may
require the official maiorities to de-
termine the result. The Democrats
are Jubilant.
PHILADELPHIA, October o.
Montgomery county gives one Re-
publican majority.

nearly all the returns from the State,
received at the Republican head
quarters, make Hartranft's majority
81 900. The Republicans gain =
members of Congress. and lose one
in the Luzerne district. Twenty
Republicans and seven Democrats
are elected. The Republicans have
majority of the Constitutional
Convention and 60 members of the
Assembly. against 40 Democrats.
The Senate stands II Republicans
and 16 Democrats, but if Marclay

COLUMBUS. October 9.-The State
Republican Committee claim that
they have carried Ohio by from
10, 900 to $4,000. The Democratic
Committee concede between 10000
and $4,000 to the Republicans. The
Republican Committee also claim to
have elected twelve congressman

ability OF two more. This gives
the Democrats seven congressman,
a gain of two in Hamilton county.

From the Randolph (Mo.) Citizea l
In the summer OF 1861, General
Grant, then Colonel of the Twenty
first Regiment of Illinois Infantry,
was stationed at Mexico, on the
North Missouri Railroad, and had
command of the post. He remained
several months, mingling freeley
with the people, regardless of the
peculiar shade of any ones political
opinion, aud as the distinguished
Colonel then had no thoughts of as
piring to the Presidency or dictator
ship, no occasion existed for the re-
ticence to which latterly he owes the
greater part of his popularity.
Ulysses the Silent was then the
GarrulOus, and embraced every OPP
pOrtunity which came in his way to
express his sentiments and opinions
in regard 10 political affairs. One
OF these declarations we distinctly
remember Inhouse, sterling
Union man, put this question to
him: "What do you honestly
think was the real object of this
war on the part of the Federal
Government I"
Sir" said Grant, al have no
doubt in the world that the whole
object is the restoration of the
Union. l will say further, that l
am IA DemOcIat-every man in my
regiment is Democrat-and when
ever 1 shall be convinced that this
war has for its object anything else
than what 1 have mentioned, or
that the Government designs using
its soldiers to execute the purposes

GEN. GRANTS OFFICIAL REGULA-
TONS IN RELATION TO THE
Statistical Puzzles sbcu; the CubaE,
Instruction.

And so 1t appears from the latest
Madrid advices that the Spanish
Government has determined, for
about the twentieth time, to send
the last reinforcement-on four
teen thousand men in this instance
to crush out the remnant of the
| Cuban insurrection.
Two years ago, according to Span
ish official authority, the whole
number of rebels, skulking in the
woods and mountains of Cuba, ragg-
ed and unarmed, did not exceed
three hundred. Crushed ont by
successive expeditions, in twelve
months, as reported by Count Val
maseda, these rebels increased to
upwards of thirteen hundred. And
now, after another year of the ex-
terminating process, Capt. General
CebaIlOs sums up the latest census
of the insurrectiOn at four thousand
five hundred and odd and to DIS
patch each of these in a decent and
artistic manner, he calculates that
it will take exactly eight thousand
Spanish regulars. 1t seems that
the fresh reinforcement from Spain
is to satisfy this requirement..
But here is a still knottier puz-
zle. By the census of 1862, the
whole population of Cuba was about
| fourteen hundred thousand, one
halt being males. Allowing one
half of the males to be children,
and old men unable to bear arms,
we have left a total arms-bearing
population in Cuba of three humid
red and fifty thousand. But, ac-
cording to official figures published
by a ministerial organ in Madrid,
the Impartial, the losses in men in
hicted upon the iuSurrectiOn, since
its commencement about four years
ago, by slaughter in bottle, by cap
ture, and by military execution,
amount to five hundred and eight
cen thousand two hundred and for
ty, or one hundred and y-eight
thousand two hundred and forty
more than the total arms bearing
population of the islands. The Ot1i-
cial account of the crushing out is
thus statistically tabulated
Killed in action l3 600
Surrendered. oo'pfo
The question here rises, how the
rebel army in Cuba managed to be
reinforced to the extent OF one hun
dred and sixty eight thousand be-
yOnd the whole number of men on
the island able to bear arms. An
other question is, how there can be
another remnant of the instruction
to be finally crushed out, after it
has lost IL number exceeding by fiji
ty per cent. all the able bodied
males on the island. That there is
plenty of lifeless remains OF the in
surgents, is credible enough. But
any living remainder of insurrec-
tiou-where can that be:-PtcGyNRe.
