ON those fifteen years Of constant war which
left Ireland scene of desolation such as was
never witnessed in any Christian land.
But the events of Elizabeth's reign
were swept over with just a sketch
which suggested rather than portrayed
the misery and suffering to which
Ireland was condemned under her rule.
Though Father Burke disclaimed any desire
to wake up revengeful feelings by paint
ing too wildly the tyranny and oppression to
which the Irish people had been subjected, it
Is difficult to imagine that any man loving
justice and liberty could listen unmoved to
the recital Of robbery and outrage to which the
Irish were subjected at the hands Of Mr..
t'roude's 'civilzers." Unlike Mr.. Froude, the
Irish advocate goes into the camp of his enemies
to seek weapons of defence. Every quotation
npon which he appealed to the American
people for verdict against the policy OF Eng
land in his native land is drawn from English
sources, and some of the most damaging evi-
dence is furnished by State papers of England
which Mr.. Froude found it convenient to
5gnore. As the arraignment Of Englands
treatment of Ireland proceeds the position of
MIR. Froude becomes more untenable, and the
natural love of Americans for justice makes
them sympathize rather with the people who
have been the victims Of fraud and violence
than with their oppressors
TIE KILLED, WOUNDED AND MISSING After
che fierce battle at Boston of human skill,
bravery and persistence against the raging
Names which in few hours swept away prop
erty Of enormous value, we get at last the
most important item in the vivid narrative Of
the terrible catastrophe, which the careful
correspondents of the HERALD have spread
before its readers. The return of the killed,
wounded and missing tells with mournful
force its story of the sad Sunday. Three are
named as killed, while it is stated that five,
whose identity is unknown, are buried under
fallen walls in one locality. Ten are num-
bered as seriously wounded. Probably half Of
them will be added to the dead list. Five
more are missing-in other words, dead, and
their bodies not recovered. So we have eigh-
teen lives lost in this disastrous confagra-
tion-eighteen lives as precious as any on the
earth, lives Of young, vigorous, devoted men,
who shrunk not from danger and death in the
road Of duty. What grief, what woe and
mourning does this record suggest Every
true heart will respond to the sighs of the
bereaved, every noble nature drop tear over
the dead and breathe prayer for the recovery
of the wounded. While we pay the tribute of
grief and sympathy we shall fail in proper
prudence if we neglectto to profit from the lesson
30 fatally emphatic by the prompt adoption of
all means calculated to prevent the recurrence
of such horrors.

4 Stalking Party.

One OF the negro orators who were
put forward and battered ard caressed
by the Radical party and press at their
late Convention, 10 his speech to it,
said OF the Democratic party: "the
sinking carcass emits an odor that
breeds disease" Now, without enter
ing into any long history, we simply
ask the men, women and children OF
Philadelphia, who witnessed the late
Radical gathering, its Convention, its
professions its social incidents and pub
lie and private differentiation with the
negro, to say for themselves which of
the two parties may be most appro.
priately described as "a sinking party"
The negro who thus described the
Democratic party has been made Sec.
rotary OF State of the Commonwealth OF
Mississippi under the bsyonet rule that
enabled General Adelbere Ames, the
military Governor OF that State, to issue
his certificate that made the said Gen
eral Adeloert Ames, and a negro named
Revels, Senators of the United Ststee
from the State OF Mississippi! The
oior that Radicslism has thus ac,-
quired might perhaps, fully warrant us
to retort a vile phrase, and call it "a
sinking party. "-Philadslphia Age.

Pittsburgh Live Stock Market.
PITTSBURGH. June s.

CATTLE-The arrivals to-day light
of stock intended for sale here and
heavy of through stock, the great bulk
OF which goes 10 New York. There is
nothing doing at the yards to-day, and
the offerings are pretty well sold out.
There are few loads unsold. but We
believe the holders were not anxious to
sell, holding the stock at certain
price, which, if not realized, would cause
the cattle to 20 to Allegheny for retail.
Two loads went there this afternoon, and
more will follow, and at this writing the
prospect is that heavy supply OF cattle
will be on sale at Allegheny. Market
this week has been good, and the prices
obtained for cattle the highest for a
long time. However we do not think
that drovers made much money, as cat
tie were very high at Chicago. Trade
ruled firm Yesterday, and some 10
loads OF stock changed hands. This
amount is a good deal more than is
generally sold on a Friday. The mar
ket closed firm, and at this time the
prospect looks tair. Following are the
rates current: Extra, 400 to 1900
pound steers, s. % to ! Is; prime,
1900 pound steers, s. co. good, 300
pound steers, Sc g. to 6 81; medium,
100 pound cattle, Sc so; fair, 1000
pound steers, Sc % 10 6 So bulls, cows,
&c s. 80.
HOGS-The receipt Of hogs fair. The
market is unchanged since our last re-
port. Trade IS slow and but little
stock is selling today Extra Phils-
delphia hogs are not in quite 80 good
supply as they have been. and are now
selling from a 80 to 1 60. Following
are the current rates on the different
grades: Extra Philadelphia at q 50 to
I 60; prime Philadelphia at 81 40 to
4 so; good Workers at 81 10 to 4 Is;
common at 81 90.
SHEEP-The receipts of sheep con.
tiuued light, as is generally the case at
the close of the week. The market
closed fair. and 60 far as we could learn
there was nothing lett over unsold. The
following are the rates on the different
grades and kind: Extra 90 pound
sheep a. Sc 35 to 6 SO; prime 80 to s.
pound sheep at 81 10 to 6 IS; fair IS to

New York Money Market.
NEW YORK, June l0-6 P. NJ.

The course Of business in the different
departments OF Wall street to-day was
marked by extreme dullness and there
was a general indisposition to enter into
new engagements. A large number OF
those in attendance at the Stock Ex.
change INDUCED in wagers on the boat
race in England to-day. The changes
in all directions were slight and without
the least significance. The money
market was very easy and the supply
in excess Of the demand, which is limi.
ted at present, owing to the general
.dullness in speculative operations.
Foreign Exchange remains dull and
the small business dong was at q slight
concession from the nominal asking
rates. Ia the Gold Room the price OF
gold advanced to ll4;, but subsequently
receded TO ll4a and closed at ll4t.
MONEY-The market was easy and
closed at 5 per cent. For q short time
during the afternoon there was slight
increase in the demand tor call loans
and some little business was done as
high as 7 per cent.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE-Marke,
was dull to-day and for actual business
sixty days sterling was quoted ut l09s@
1904, although the asking rates have
not been changed. .-..

A Reprehensibie Practice.

Treating" is one Of the principal
causes of drunkenness, and the repre-
hensible custom has been carried so far
that many man will consider himself
"insulted" if friend or recently intro
duced stranger refuses to join him 10 a
drink. Strong efforts have often been
made by seriously disposed persons to
abolish this custom, and it may be in
teresting to know that so early as 1880,
Governor Winthrop, of Massachusetts,,
upon consideration Of the inconvenien-
ces which had grown up in England
from the custom OF one person drinking
to another, restrained the practice at
his own table, and Influenced his friends
to intimate his example. Governor
Winthrop also endeavored to obtain the
passage OF q law abolishing the practice
OF treating and drinking healths, and
in 1889 q bill to that effect was intro
duced in the Legislature Of the province
OF Massachusetts, but the measure
failed, being considered too rigid an in
reference with the rightsof the people.
In bis private journal Governor Win.
throp gives q curious metaphysical
argument in favor Of law against the
custom Of Treating" He says that
every empty and iuefectusl representa-
ton of serious thingsis way OF vanity,
and asserts that this custom is such,
for it is intended to hold forth love and
wishes of health, which are serious
things, by drinking, which neither in its
nature or use it is able to effect. he
also contends that treating is looked
at as a mere compliment, and is not
taken as an argument Of love, which
ought to be unieigned. Governor Win.
throp, therefore. draws the conclusion
that such law as frees q man from
frequent and useless temptations to dig
semble love is . wholesome law.

Editors of the Register:
MERCER COUNTY. w. Va.
June 3, 1872. !
The thoughts of the people appear
to be principally engrossed by political
subjects at this time. The new Con-
stitutiou, the selection of suitable
persons for the various Offices and the
Presidential campaign afford topics Tor
friendly colloquy and animated discus
sion. The opponents Of the adoption
of the new Constitution adduce uu-
reasonable objections to vindicste them
selves Tor their opposition. Such as
the increase OF the judges salaries; the
restricting the County Court to q
levy for county purposes OF % cents on
one hundred dollars worth OF property,
etc, etc.
They seem to have lost sight OF the
fact, that the number OF judicial dis
tricts has been reduced to nine, and the
area OF the districts much more in-
creased than the salaries. The objeo-
ton is unjust and unreasonable. The
taxation in Mercer county since the
close of the war has been 80 onerous.
methinks all should feel the necessity
OF restriction under ordinary circum-
ces. Last year the levy for county
expenses was $ "a for 500 worth Of
property.
A restriction will have tendency to
economy on the part Of the County
Court in their appropriations, and when
the good people" desire it, three-fiiths
voting for, they may tax themselves ad
iJihnh.
Candidates for county Offices are
quite abundant, aud still more are ex-
pected. There are nine gentlemen who
have announced themselves willing TO
accept the clerkships of the courts.
The word white to be voled on
separately, affords a dilemma with two
horns" If we vote against incorpora-
ting the word white in the Consti ution,
we fall into the channel Of Radical
negro equality, lose our consistency;
and subject ourselves 10 be denoun need
as a party without principle. II we
vote for the word white" our action
may be pointed to where the negroes
have the preponderance as evidence
that the Democratic and Conservative
party are enemies Of the sable sons OF
Africa 10 the injury OF our party there.
Messrs. Editors, which horn of the
dilemma shall we take?
President making is eliciting consid-
cradle interest, and it is matter Of
great importance what course our party
should pursue. Greeley and Browns
platform is very good Greelev's ad.
vocacy of amnesty, States rights,
economy and retrenchment, are in &C.
cord with our vie OF the proper policy
of the government His aptecedents
are reprehenSible, hut we greatly prefer
him 10 Grant. If our party should
bring out its own candidates the great
danger arises that Grant will be elected
again, while coalition with the Gree
ley wing Of the party would doom
Grant to private life, and the enjoyment
of his presents and ilIgotten wealth.
Principle should be the rule OF action
by individuals and parties; bit policy
should not ALWAYS be ignored. The
old adage "a half loaf is better than no
bread might be used to advantage in
this case. MERCER.
