THE ORANGE PEST

There ia not a particularly large account
of killed and wounded after this years
Orange celebrations in the North of
Ireland. The number of homes wrecked
is rather less than the average. Still the
"tot" of broken heads is considerable;
some persons have been stabbed, one has
been shot, and scores of others charged
with participation in riotous proceedings
are being brought up before the Inagis-
trates, to find themselves soon afterwards
occupants of Jail. But the results of the
"celebI alton" do rot erd at that point.
The worst of these lsmentable affairs is
that anger, enmity and desire of revenge
are sown in Thousands Of hearts, that
some of the best feelings of human nature
are thereby overt borne, that masses of
people who should live in friendly union
as citz of one country are divided into
hostile camps, and held ready, all the
year round, to fly at each Others throats
on the slightest provocation. Thus is
social life poisoned for great section of
the Irish population, and state of things
worthy only of some barbarous region
produced. There would be fair chance
that the bitterness of party feeling in the
North would tone down and ultimately
die out If it were not annually refreshed
by those mischievous celebrations" "Ire-
land" said Baron Dowse a few days ago
at the Armagh Aesizes, sis the only coun-
try whose civil wars are celebrated, and
the sooner those celebrations are put stop
to, the BETTER" The remark was perfectly
true. In every other country the memo
ries of civil strife are allowed to become
merely historical, there are no public
commemorations of the triumph of one
section of the people and the defeat of
another. Civil broils, wars and contentious
between children of the same soil, are
regarded as things that never should have
occurred, and of which the less that is
said, the better. Thus the wounds of
those conflicts are allowed to heal, the
kindly influences of a common home, of
close neighborhood, of social intercourse,
are permitted to operate; free play is
allowed for the noble spirit of patriotism
the people fuse together and become q
nSSionI strong, self respecting and respect
ed. In Ireland alone is the memory of a
great civil war which brought absolute
ruin and frightful persecution on the
majority of the population kept alive year
after year by public demonstrations,
carried out by turbulent little minority,
with Haunting of party flags and emblems
and playing of party music-and with all
the natural consequences thereof, including
anger, riot, bloodshed and loss of life. For
this shame and curse upon the land the
blame lies mainly with the incendiaries of
the Orange press and platform. The fools
who go swaggeriDg about in procession
on every 'anniversary," loaded outside
with Orange decorations, and inside with
porter and whiskey, are really less respOn-
sible for the crimes they commit than are
the knavish writers and spouters who
excuse, encourage, and seek not merely to
justify but even to glorify their conduct
There can hardly be a meaner creature
living than an Orange editor who sits down
and eiahorates an article designed to show

1t becomes our painful duty this week
(says the Wexford People of July 13th) to
record the death of the Rev. David Kent,
&C., which cad event took place at his
residence, Barntown, early on Friday
morning, after few days' illness. The
Rev. gentlemen was over 73 years of age,
and labored for more than 40 years in the
sacred ministry with devoted zeal for
the glory of God and the welfare of the
charge com mitted to his care.
The report of the inspectors of Irish
Fisheries for 1877 has been issued within
the past few days, and, as usual, 1t is a
tale of decay. 1t states that the number
of craft of all descriptions engaged in fish
ing for eale in Ireland last year was S, ,3S2,
and that the crews consisted of 10 ,6l5 men
and 778 boys. These figures as compared
with those for 1876, show a decrease of no
less than 5S3 vessels and 8 800 fishermen.
1t is right, however, to add that the in
spectors think that the numbers were over
estimated In previous years.
Mr.. Mitchell Henry brought forward in
the House of Commons on Friday night
week his long promised motion regarding
the death of Sergeant Mccarthy. The
result was what has been all alorg ex
pected. Mr.. Henry aud Mr.. O'Connor
Power bad a strong case and made the
most of it, but the Ministry, speaking
through the Home Secretary, stood by
their doctors and other Jail officials, and
refused the Irish members the satisfaction
demanded: However, though Messrs.
md foil Id &las,
and immediate object-the granting of an
inquiry-they were successful in another
respect, viz, in showing to the civilized
world the treatment melted out to political
prisoners in this age by humanitarian Eog-
land. Mr.. Henry deserves special thanks
for his efforts to expose that treatment in
its true light in the case of Sergeant
Mccarthy.
The extraordinary conduct of Sir Bryan.
O'Loghlin, MP. for Glare, in neither
taking his seat in the Honse of Commons
nor resigning it, was at last brought under
the notice of Parliament on Monday night.
Mr.. Sullivan asked whether the seat is
not vacant in consequence of the accept
auce by Sir B. O'Loghlin of an tfice of
profit under the Crown - namely, the
Attorney Genera.ship of Victoria. The
question was very plain one, but instead
of the answer being also plain, in was in
the highest degree evasive. The Attorney
General for Ireland, in fact. said he woula
not give any answer just then, but that if
the matter came up for decision in the
House he would be prepared to give the
Government his advice. We cannot i'm
agine why he should keep back the express
sion of his opinion, and we hope Mr.. Sulli-
van will carry ont his intention of again
moving the matter at a subse quent period
of the session. Whoever ia to blame, it is

CLARK5VILLE FIRE,

The estimated losses by the Clarksyille
conhagration is $3.50, 900, with insurances
of nearly 100000. Work has already
been commenced to rebuild the burnt
district. The people still continue in a
state of excitement, many fiocking in
from the country.
An intensely bitter feeling prevails be-
tween the blacks .and whites, and a row
il expected at any time. Many of the
timid negroes have left the town, fearing
the consequences of a collision.
The colored men still continue tn
severely denounce the lynching of Win
ston Anderson, colored for an attempted
outrage on white girl on March 8, and
the killing OF Columbus Seats by Police
man Phillips on Saturday, and also the
shooting of Kirby, negro desperate a
few days ago.
Kirby was well armed and resisted ar.
rest, and was shot, but bot fatally. A
large proportion of the negro population
of Clarksville is composed OF furnace
men, who have been employed at the
iron works and are regarded as a most
desperate class of blacks in the South
always ready for melee.
special policemen are still kept on du

LAUNCH OF THE "a. A. SHAW AT THE j.
& =. co.'s YARD.
At IL o'clock, this morpinfi, the three
masted schooner Ase1dth A. 2dtc, was
successfully launched at the yard of the
Jackson & Sharp Company, foot of Sew
enth street. The launch was witnessed
BY an interested audience, who loudly
expressed their admiration as the vessel
glided gracefully into the water. All
the preparations were made, and when
the plank was sawed the boat instantly
started down the ways.
The only mishap was that Jackscrew
which was on hand to be used in case OF
an emergency, was caught in q rope and
dragged into the water, despite the ex-
ertions of one of the workmen, who
rushed frantically down the ways after
it, until he slipped and fell upon the
greasy planks. Fortunately he sustained
no injury.
The A. 4. iSd,o is three-masted center
board schooner, 1856 feet keel, 36 feet
beam, 10 feet hold, 81 feet between decks
and will carry about 800 tons. She was
built for and will be commanded by Capt.
Joseph. Holmes, of Forked river, n. j.,
and will engage in the coal trade
She will be spared and rigged imme-
diately, the spars being furnished by w.
7. Griffinburg, of this city. and the ng-
ging by Taylor & Brown of Philadelphia.
Although the Shdo is not the largest
vessel built by the j. & s. Co., she is a
tirst-class vessel in every particular, md
is a worty addition to the large fleet of
Wilmington built vessels. She will hail
from New Yoak. The launch was two
weeks ahead of the contract time.

A Slaves Claims.
MULATTo WOMAN SUES MAN FOR
SELLING HER INTO SLAVERY.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April Is, 1S78.-A
remarkable case was before the United
States District Court here to-day. Hen
netta Woods, mulatto woman of sixty
years, brought suit against Zebulon
Ward, now of Little Rock, Ark, but
formerly Warden Of Kentucky Peniten-
tiary, for kidnapping her and selling her
into slavery in 1858. She claims daI1ape
to the amount of $4,000.
The woman's evidence was that she
belonged to Mrs. Cerode, who brought
her to Cincinnati and manumitted her
in 1851. After staying here two years
she enticed across to Kentucky, where
she was kidnapped, taken first to Lexing
ton, afterward to Frankfort, while Ward
was In charge of the Penitentary, and he
took her and sold her to one Gerard
Brandon, Texas planter who kept her
at work until the Emancipation by law.
The case Is a singular one because of the
length of time that has elapsed since the
occurrence and as being a relic of the
slavery system new dead. 1t is still In
progress.

WASHINGTON. April 10, 1873.
A Dill providing a way to test disputed
PRESIDENTIAL elections was introduced TO-
day and referred to the Judiciary Com
mlttee. 1t has been carefully drawn; but
the chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee SAID this evening that 1t would have
to be very carefully considered, and the
chances are great that it will not be re-
ported for a long time to come. The re-
pu0hcans who allowed the Introduction
and reference of the bill without a word
became violent when Mr.. Swami presen-
ted the Blair resolutions, and the morn
ing hour expired before these were ac-
cTpted. The whole matter is here Thought
TO have little or no immediate practical
importance.

The River and Harbor bill failed to get
before the House to-day, though its
friends anXiously tried to make way for
II; It's chances of success are consider
ably damaged. 1t cannot probably now
get before the House until next Monday.
The intention is, if possible, to pass il
without debate under suspension OF

A PASTOR SURPRISED.

On Monday evening, tho 18th inst,
about 10 persons visited en- masse the
house of Rev. A. j. S"yder, their late
pastor, for the purpose eofexpressing their
sympathy, and confirming their love and
attachment to him, and his family. After
spending some considerable time in songs
of praise, and prayer; appropriate re-
marks suited to the occasion, and social
intercourse, the company dispersed ,leav-
ing behind them many mementos as sub
stantial token of regard, such az two
beautiful mottos, "No Cross no Crown" +"
and Crock of Ages"
A pair of slippers, study lamp, table
CLOTH. towels, handkerchief, and an
abundance of groceries in every variety;
and besides, the passage of the silver bill
was not forgotten, for Mrs. Snyder was
presented with a pocket book filled with
the precious coin, that she might bear in
grateful remembrance her kind and
thoughtful friends of the Olivet Presby-
terian church.

Is THERE TOO MUCH PORK ?

Satisfies OF the hog crop for the past
season show 1t 10 bel the largest In the
history Of the country, Six million
five hundred and five thousand hogs
were packed In the western cities during
the winter. The yield of cured meat
alone was 9S0, ,000, 900 pounds, which tc-
gether with the lard and other products,
make q total difficult to conceive.
Though expectation Of this class OF pro-
visions has excelled by thirty per cent.
those of former years the prices are lower
than they have been for forty years.
Lard which last year ruled at fourteen
cents goes this year for seven. Shoulders
can be bought wholesale for three cents
per pound that sold last year for seven.
Pork brings ten dollars per barrel !:
last year it brought twenty dollars. And
even upon these low prices there Is
declining market. The consequence
will be that while the aggregate hog crop
Of this year,and the aggregate exportions
ofporS have vastly exceeded those OF last
year, the amount of money realized by
the producers will be considerably less.
This will be called over-production !"
but is over-production an evil -? It Is
evident at first sight that though those
who produce the provisions aud the mid
dlemen that handle them may make less
profit,sti the laboring man Is a gamer.

LONDON, April 10, 1878.
The English newspapers still seriously
discuss the dangers tc British commerce
from privateers fitted out In the ports OF
the United States. The Globe Of last
evening says editorially. -"Our Cron-
stadt correspondent writes that the
scheme Of fitting out privateers in Amer
lea Is making rapid progress. A large
number of seamen belonging TO the
Baltic fleet are under orders and in
readiness to proceed to the United
States at a moments notice.
at is rumored that the Grand Duke
Alexis will be appointed Admiral of the
privateer squadron, and that during
his recent visit to New York the pro-
ject was thoroughly canvassed in the
event of war with England.
"Our correspondent further states that
he has confidentially seen the Official
list of the officers designated by the
Grand Duke Constantine to proceed
TO America to purchase, equip and
command the steamers that are to prey
upon the commerce of Great Britain.
DREADFUL MUTTERINGS.
"The enterprise will be carried out
with great caution. 1t is asserted among
the Russian officials that the first inti>
nation England will receive of the
proceedings ofthe Russian admiralty will
be when the officers, who have already
left Cronstadt, organize in American
ports crews of Finnish ailors,summoned.
under the stress of conscription, from
the decks of English vessels lying there.
THE WAR CRY.
"The idea of forming powerful feet
in America is very popular throughout
Russia, because 1t is thought that a Sc
we're blow can be given to English COM
merce at Its very centre-namely, its car
rying trade fran the United States. The
scheme causes intense delight among
the Baltic seamen."
WHERE THE VESSELS WILL BE FOUND.
1t 10 asserted in other quarters, al
though the rumor has not yet got into
print, that owners OF large numbers of
steamers in several countries OF Eu-
rope are making arrangements to send
all vessels not required for service to
New York, Boston or Philadelphia to
be asold to the Russian government
should opportunity serve.
The Times Pera despatch says there
was manifest uneasiness on Sunday and
Monday lest the Russians should at
tempt coup de main against Constan-
tinople. Tne suspicion is only trace
able to the general discomfort OF the
russians at the prolonged uncertain
ty.
The Times has the following from

Russia for the organization of gener-
al levy. Passports will only be issued
to persons over forty-six years of age. "
