BISHOP IRELAND,s GREAT COLONY.
Baltimore Mirror }

Bishop Ireland has written letter to
the Irish Catholic Benevolent Union, COM
mending their undertaking of forming Ca
tholic colonies in the West, South and
Southwest, and setting forth the results Of
his labors in Minnesota. He says:
We began last February. Our first step was
to secnre the control of $4,000 acres of land !,
situated in Swift county, belonging to the st
Paul and Pacific r. There were at the time
in the county about much more vacant gov
eminent land open for settlement under the
pre- emption and homestead acts. The price of
the R. K was fixed that during the time it
was to remain under our control, the company
could not advance, its figures. We at once
placed q priest in the colony, whose duty it
was to direct and advise the immigrant, as well
as to minister to his spiritual wants An Office
was opened in st. Paul, where the immigrant
would be received on his arriva from the East,
and where all letters of inquiry would be an
swered. Two weeks after publication OF our
plans had been made in the Catholic press,
immigrants commenced to arrive, and up to
the date at which I am writing over eight
hundred entries have been made by our people
on government land, and about go 600 acres OF
railroad have been occupied. We permit no
speculation, so that each quSrter-section gen
orally represents family, persons, as @ rule,
being allowed to take more land only when
they have grown sons, who soon will them
selves need home.
The colony prospered, towns were built,
substantial houses, schools, churches, mills
and stores were erected, and the people
were happy. J. c. Braden, Register of the
United States Land Office, at Litchfeld,
Minnesota, wrote to the Bishop saying,
"AlloH me to bear testimony to the inteli-
gence, integrity and good order always
manifested by your colonists in all their
business relations with this Office"
Ifin every large city of the Union there
were formed a Catholic Colonization Society
to buy up large tracts of good land, and
sell them in small parcels on long time, to
aid Catholic immigrants, and poor Catholics
who are making precarious living in the
cities, in obtaining homo for Themselves,
great and lasting good, pleasing to Al
mighty God, and ultimately profitable to
the members of such societies, could be Of
fected.

Abbcville Democratic by n Majority
of One Thousand.

Our Democratic clubs now have the
names Of seven hundred and forty
colored men, as shown by the reports
of the various clubs to the President
of the County Club, which is enough
to give us the election. That we will
vet make accessions to our ranks from
the Republican party, and that there
will be many colored Republicans who
will stay away from the polls no one
doubts, and without some great revo-
luton in public sentiment between
now and the eth of November, the
Democratic majority in this County
will be at least ia thousand. We
are no enthusiast, but have made the
calculation from what may be regard
ed as UNREASONABLE facts. There are
in Abbeville County $500 white voters
and4,175 colored voters. The colOred
majority being 1915. Take from the
colored vote, ATS, the 40 colorcd men
who have joined our ranks and that
will leave them 3,435. Add the 74O
colored Democrats to the white list
and you have 800, which will give
the Democrats Il majority Of 2O5. 1T
is safe to say that 400 or 500 Of col
ored men will join yet US, which will
give Us a majority Of one thousand or
more. or course no man cal tell with
certainty what will be the result of an
election in these times, but if our
people still maintain their enthusiasm
and their determination, Abbeville
may be safely set down as Democratic
by Il thousand majority. All of
Grants and Chamberlain's bayonets
cannot prevent the colored people
from voting with lis. Many of them
are determined on it and will not be
inundated.

PROCLAMATION. >
The Democrats Earnestly Advised to
p~erscvere in their Self. Restraint.
Iron, the Neay York Herdld.]

From the NeW York Heratd.]
We hope the DEMOCRATIC leaders Will
command the peace, for it depends upon
them. Governor Chamberlain evidently
has no intention to look after good order
in the State, and the Federal government
takes his view of the situation. The only
course to be pursued then is to afford no
pretence for The use Of the troops and to
let all violence come from those who are
loudest in demanding protection. The
boot will thus be completely transferred TO
the other leg. 1t is better for the Demo-
Gratis to suffer now and show self restraint
bv avoiding retaliation, than to meet dis
osdcr and lawlcssness with similar con-
duct. Violence has no place in the Demo-
cratic plan, and, in fact, would only mar
and derange it. The Democrats cannot
rctort to violence without tlinging the ne
gro voters into Chambcrlain's arms!
They must prevail by argument, by i'm
pressivo speeches and by such induce
nlents as the colored voter, and not he on
,Iy, but the ignorant voter everywhere, is
amcndable to. To give man days work
on election day with the object of keeping
him from the polls is not an unknown de
vice in Northern States. 1t is only when
it becomes common that it attracts general
attention. Such devices, it is true, are not
very honorable to the 'il,dcpcndent voter
who is influenced by them, nor are they
particularly creditable to those who en-
ploy them but they afford no ground for
| Fcdercl interference, and nobody, North
or South, will care much how Tar these
practices ex end if the peace is preserved
and if the privileges Of all who nave the
will to exercise them are protected.

Ca!ccron'S Order.

CAMERON, Secretary OF War, under
date Of Oct. Il, issues The following order
to Gen. SHERMAS:
"SIR-In view Of the existing condition
of affairs in South Carolina, there is a pos
sibilitv that the proclamation of the Pres
idcnt of this date may be disrcgardcd.
To provide against such Il contingency,
You will Immediately order all the availa-
BILE force III the military division of the
Atlantic to report to General Ruger, com
handing at Columbia, s.. G., and instruct
that officer to station his troops in such To-
~calities that they may most speedily and
ctlectually he used in case IT resistance to
the authority Of the United States. It is
hoped thut 4 collision may thus be avoid
cd, but you will instruct General Kruger
to let it be known that it is the fixed pnr-
pose Of the government to carry out fully
the SPORT of the proclamation, and to sus-
tain it by the military force OF the general
government, supplemented, if necessary,
by the militia Of the various States.'
This order, Of course, is all for effect.
CAMERON knows, as well as he known his
own name, that the Presidents proclama-
ton will not be d%isregaricd if there be
any necessity for obedience to its manda-
teS; but we deny that there exists any
%"unlawful and insurrCc.ionary proceed
ing" on the part of the people Of South
Carolina.
