A Snd Case.

n SuO COSes
About one year ago an Irish family by
the name of MOriarty, who had been re-
siding here for many years, were in dis
tressed circumstances, owing to the fact
that the head of the family had become
blind. Some of our citizens gave them
assistance and a small sum of money was
raised, and Mr.. Moriarty believing that he
could again receive his sight by going to
Ireland, Mr.. Julius Ochs sold them fam
lily ticket on the Anchor line at half rate,
besides giving them his commission and
other pecuniary aid. A few days since he
received letter from one of the children,
stating that the father had died, and that
the mother as we'll as the six children
had been unhealthy ever since they left
this country, and were now on the point
of starvation. The letter states that they
would have starved long since but for the
kindness of neighbors, but as the present
season is hard one with them, they fear
if they receive no aid from this country
they will not be able to hold out much
longer. They plead earnestly to be brought
back to Knoxville, the land of their birth
| and ask MIR. Ochs to procure assistance
from their Irish friends. We would moi
dictate in the matter, but it is to be hoped
that the Irish Benevolent Society will not
| let the children of their old Irish friend
Mr.. MOriarty, perish for, want of assist
ance. A letter will reach them by address
ing Mrs. Mary Moriarty, John street, Din.
| gle, Kerry county, Ireland. 80

The Press the Orator of the Day.

Hon. Daniel Dougherty, of Philadel.
phia, in recent lecture on oratory, uses
this language:
The grand days oil oralory are over.
The future may give birth to men who
shall rank the greatest OF the past, for
oratoIy can never be lost while liberty
survives; but for all this, its glory, pow.
er and pride have passed away forever.
A power mightier than an army of ora
tors has risen which has dwarfed their
genius and lowered them to the level OF
ordinary mortals, and which is changing
the whole world. The power of the
orator sank when the printing-press
arose. The orator speaks to thousand;
the press 10 hundreds of thousands-the
former rarely, the latter every
day. The words of the orator die
with the sound that voices them, the
words of the press live forever. The
orators are listened to by a few OF an
evening, and the press sends even their
words TO the whole world next day. Ii
the press then does honestly its duty,
with its far greaters powers and labors,
for the welfare of the people, the honor
of the Nation, and the glory of God, we
may be content that the days of oratory
are over.

A False report Denied

Washington Cor. n. Y. Times. October 81
The very sensational story told about
the withdrawal of President Grants de.
posit from the First National Bank the
day before the failure turns out to have
been all effort of somebody's imagina'
ton. The fact is that the President
never had special deposit with the
First National, nor one that was pre-
tended to be special. He was not al
lowed interest on his balances, and his
account only covered his salary, which
the bank drew and placed TO his credit,
to be checked precisely like any other
deposit. On the LIST Of September the
Presidents account showed that he had
to his credit about four hundred dollars.
His balance was not increased at all
during the month, and on the 10Th, three
days before the suspension, his account
showed an overdraft Of seventy-one dol
lars. This overdraft hassince been paid
to the receiver, and the account closed.
The President never had little tin box
on deposit at this bank, and he was in
Pittsburg the day it is said to have been
carried over TO the White House to him.
He did have, however, box in the bank
of jay Cooke a. Co., containing his prl'
vate valuable papers, and among other
things the registered Rawlings bonds
which he holds in trust; but not dollar
OF money. The box was taken away
about a week after the bank closed, on
or about the same day the overdraft OF
the First National was paid.
