ton" Aye, sir, it seems ss if the iniquities
committed in Ireland in old times were the
chosen model and example for the legislation
adopted by this ministerial party towards the
Southern States. You know the story told of
Il courtryman of mine, an immigrant who ar
rived az Castle Garden, during u con tested
election. Somebody went TO him and said,
pat. what do you think of the election How

Every promise made by England, perhaps well
intended, is laughed at The crime was too
great; the suffering too poignant, its
rnenI 'ries too foil of agony. So that the Eng
lsh Government perhaps, never will have the
confidence of the Irish people. Was it Just,
was it wise, las it humane, was it statesman
like for this ministerial party in Washington to
have tried the same fatal experiment with the
Southern peplef Or will it be wise for the

to leave the power TO infiict such iniqnities in
the hands of any Government Mr.. Blaine, the
representative of the party now in power,
makes apology for these things. He is the
party and do you think the promises of Mr.:
Hayes, well intentioned as they may be, or of

SOUTH CAROLINA.
Notwithstanding the unlawful massing of
United States soldiers in South Carolina, and
the evident iutentIou of ku-klnx Chamberlain,
in conjunction with the consprators at Wash
ingtou to force some armed resistance on the
part of the Democrats to the Infamous pro
ceedngs, Gen. Hampton will carry out his en-, !
gsgements to speak and his friends will con |
duct the canvass heretofore, unlike the Re- |
pu blicans, appealing to the reason and not the
passions of voters.
The property valuation in South Carolina in
1860 was $500 100000 In 1870 it was $780, |
900 0OO-a deoliDe of 81 per C 1nt. The tax levy |
in 1860 was $500 600. In 1873 81 700 000-an in |
crease of nearly 500 per cent. The legislative
expenses in 1860 were $40 Geo In 1873 $l91 600
an increase of nearly 500 per cont. These
figures suggestive enough of the career of
the Repu blican party in the State during the
last eleven years.
BETTING IN NEW YORK
Money talks" cnrtly observes the betting
man when some subject whereOn there is
radica difference of opinion is preached and
argument fails TO reconcile either party to the
positions and conclusions of the other. All
through the preliminary campaign that closed
two weeks ago, the eloQnence of the money
thai went into the pool box was for Barnes in
Ono and Williams in Indiana, and the end
iustiied the odds. At the same time Hayes
sold strongly as a candidate over Tilden in the
national contest, aud Morgan had rather the
call in pools upon the result in New York.
Within the last few days, and notably since
Mr. Grant issued his South Carolina procla-
nation, all this has been changed. Tilden
and Hayes are selling at even figures, while
the former is the favorite at nearly to in
the State which by both parties is accepted as
the decisive battle. ground.
At Morrssey's on the plat, the pool selling on
the general result of the Presidential election,
was at even figures, $500 even being recorded
in one bet on the result. In the State OF New
York Tilden led the call at the odds of 5000 to
$500 while on the MayOrRlty, Ely (Dem.) sold
steady for 500 to the field at $50.
