in this wise: 1--WE will, however, say

This is square talk, but we want to see
what the Argus will have to say to the
speech of Voorhees,. 1t was not treating
him fairly to exclude his speech from the
columns of the Argus. Mr.. VOORHEES, is
a democrat, and because he was pleading
in Congress for straight democratic
at Baltimore and against the
endorsement of Horace Greeley by the
convention, he, forsooth, is shut out from
the telegraphic columns Of the Argus !.
Saw We anything before like this in poll
tics? Who would have dreamed that de-
mocracy would have ever stood at such a
low figure in democratic Offices, while re-
publcans command the highest premiums.
There are many uncertainties about the
result of this business. 1t depends large
" upon the courage and energy with
which the fight is made. The Standard
must put in more powder if it desires to
secure . Greeley delegation from this
State. 1t must rebut the damaging charges
made by Voorhees, against 'Massa Gree
ey,' dress him up in lively democratic
,olors, and possibly he may be nominated

TIE SPLIT IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY OVER GREELEY

The contest in the democratic party over
the question of adopting or rejecting the
Cincinnati nomination began in earnest
on Monday with the speech Of Mr.. Voor-
hees in Congress, denouncing Horace
Greeley and declaring that he would not
support him as candidate for President.
This speech will stir the elements in the
democratic party 10 a state of active fer
mentation. There viii be no mincing of
matters after this. Those who are for
Greeley will be obliged to show their
colors, and those against him will declare
it and work against him in caucus and
convention. Certain crafty leaders who
desire to manipulate the convention as
they please are opposed to agitation. but
Voorhees, has spoiled their game .
If there were any doubts before about
the serious division among democrats con-
corning the endorsement of Greeley, the
speech OF Mr.. VOORHEES, and the manner
in which it was received by his democratic
colleagues in Congress swept them utter
~ away. Some of them charged him
with being an emissary or ally of Presi-
dent Grant. Their Indignation was made
evident On the floor of the House. 1t was

Tho Condition Of Ireland.

Official returns by the registrar general. Of
Ireland present gloomy view Of the condl'
ton of affairs In that country. Atable giving
the result of the last crops as compared with
the preceding year goes far toward accounting
for the chronic discomfort In that country and
the general desire of the people to take refuge
elsewhere. The picture Ia still worse, how
ever, In comparing the returns with those ol
the last twenty years. The cultivation ol
cereals shows remarkable and steady de-
crease, amounting to one-third on the product
of twenty years ago. The acres planted with
potatoes have Increased, while the yield has
decreased. Ireland Is probably the only civil
lied country In the world that shows de-
crease of population, the decline being egh'
teen per cent on the population OF 1851.
Even the production of fax and the linen
trade, almost the only manufacturing Indus
tries In ireland of any importance, show q
falling of. The decline In population is also
very serious evil. The emigration Is COM
posed, for the most part, of able-bodied men,
and this naturally causes scarcity in the
labor market and an increase OF wages to the
agriculturists, although it does not appear
that the general condition of the people who
remain behind is improved.

The Slave Trade.

stanley's discovery of Livingstone has drawn
renewed attention to the African slave trade
now carried on In the interior and the east
coast. Sir Samuel Bakers expedition will
probably have some effect upon this traffic In
land, and the efforts of the British vessels are
directed to Its suppression on the coast. A
slave ship, manned by Arabs. has been recent
ly captured in the Cult of Persia. The scene
presented on boarding her was terrible be-
yond expression. Thirty-si1 heavily armed
Arabs composed the crew. 80 crowded was
the deck and the hold with captives that 1t
appeared "a vast nest of ants" In the hold
there was number OF children and grown
persons, In the most loathsome stages OF small
pox. When transferred TO the ship that cap
tured them few could walk, and most had to
be lifted over the ships side. Thirty.iVe cases
of smallpox at once came under the hands of
the surgeon, and the statement was made by
the patients, that at the first discovery of this
disease all who took 1t were at once thrown
overheard, but when the Arabs found 1t
could not be checked, the sick we're simply
left to die.

Boston and Chicago.

The dispatches from Boston indicate that
Chicago continues to enjoy sad pre-emi-
nence, as the scene Of the greatest and most
destructive confiagration known In modern
times. At Chicago, In the fire OF October,
1871, the total loss was s206, 600, 600; the
burnt district was three miles long, and q
mile and q half broad; twenty Thousand five
hundred houses were destroyed; one hun
dred and ten thousand persons were driven
homeless into the ruined streets. Boston,
on the other hand, has sustained loss OF
about $3.50, 900, 900; the burnt district sless
than two-thirds Of mile square; nine hum
dred and thirty houses are laid low; three
hundred families have seen their homes and
household gods fall a prey to the flames.
There is no question that the personal SUI
ferlng in Boston will be far less than 1t was
in Chicago. The stout-hearted and claR-
nlsh citizens Of the Bay State are well able to
care for the poor people OF Boston. 1t will
not, il The present accounts are trustworthy,
be necessary to appeal to the country Tor
help. No army Of hundred thousand
poverty-stricken men, women and children
will raise their lean hands and cry for sue
cor. Nor is any serious financial disturb
ance imminent. 1t is distinctly said that
the losses fall generally upon persons who
can sustain them; the insurance companies
which had most at stake can apparently sat-
isiy their creditors; the Northern cap
italists stand ready to give their neigh
bors temporary assistance. The country
is hundred and fifty million dollars
poorer than it was last week. That is GER
tain. A part Of this huge sum will come
out OF the British purse, but the losses OF the
American insurance companies, and the In
vestments to be converted into cash by
those real estate owners who propose to re-
build, or whose liabilities and wants are not
covered by their insurance, must be met
out of the general capital OF the Union.
Loans on mortgages and other securities
will be called In; bonds and stocks will be
thrown on the market; stockholders will be
assessed, and, in turn, must withdraw funds
from other investments to meet these new
obligations. These operations will undoubt-
ly tighten the money market, and may cause
some rash spectators to collapse But there
is no reason why there should be monetary
panic-wisdom and concert OF action can
prevent it.
While it admits that the calamity which
has fallen upon Boston is not 80 terrible as
that which Chicago met and overcame, The
NEWS has no desire to abate one jot OF its
sympathy with the sufferers at "the Hub"
They have the heartiest good wishes OF
every liberalminded Southerner, and 1t Is
earnestly hoped that in rebuilding their
fair, city, the Bostonians may display an
energy and pluck like to that which in q
single year, in Chicago, covered two thousand
acres OF ruins with ranges Of stately stores
and luxurious dwelling-houses, superior, In
every way, to those which the great fire con-
onnood
