SYMPATHY FOR THE IRISH
Large Meeting in Chicago.

CHICAGO, December l.-At the meet
ing OF citizens held at McCormick's nall
tonight, which broke up at late hour,
the purpose being to express sympathy
with the people of Ireland in their pres
ent agitation, for relief from OPPRESSION
of nonresident landlordism. There was
an immense audience in the large build
ing, and many hundreds were unable to
obtain admission. The Irish American
element constituted very large
portion OF the audience, although
some of the most prominent American
born citizens occupied seats on the plat
form and among the auditors. Speeches
were made by Hon. Thomas Hayne,
Lieutenant-Governor Shuman, Leonard
Sweet, and others, all in a moderate
tone, but expressing the deepest inter
est in the position of affairs in Ireland,
aud predicting that benefit To the work
ing classes of that Island would eventu-
ate from the present disorders.
An address was issued to the people
of the United States, stating in stronger
terms the ideas expressed by the various
speakers. 1t alludes to the difficulties
under which the Irish people labor in
procuring a living; to the hardships the
present land system inhicts; to the
legislation hostile to their interests
which has been enacted; to the un-
merous instances of personal cruelty
TO tenants; to the derease in
the population by the famine and ex-
odus and to the gloomy situation OF to-
day. 1t calls attention to the better
land laws of other countries and pro-
tests against the attempt of Beacons-
field to prevent the last means
left them to secure reform, /. e.,
agitation. 1t asks the United States to
offer its effective aid in aiding the Irish
people to accomplish peaceful
revolution against the land
lord interest, supported by
Beaconsfeld. 1t says: Mr.. Parnell and
his colleagues have proposed just and
sensible method for the desired better
ment OF affairs, and the American
people are pledged not to remain
deaf to the appeal for sympathy
and reform. The Irish people are urged
not 10 allow zeal 10 outrun discretion,
and are in conclusion assured OF the
support, not only of the people Of the
United States, but OF the civilized world.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
Concerning the w. N z. Rail-
road.
Correspondence Of the Register.
WHEELING, Dec. l, 1879.

Correspondents Of the Register.
WHEELING, Dec. |, 1879.
l. seems as though the proposed rail-
road between this city and Parkersburg,
on the West Virginia side Of the Ohio
river, is the principal topic of CONVERSE
ton with those who are directly inter-
ested; and as the success OF the road de-
pends upon the number OF persons who
will take an interest in the matter and
the amount of money that can be raised
and donated toward the construction of
the road, l will make a few sugges-
tions, which, if promptly acted upon by
the cOrporators, will greatly aid them to
carry into execution their plans and
make the road success when built.
Marshall county, which is the largest
agricultural county along the line of the
road, will not be benefited TO an extent
sufficient to induce the people OF that
county to vote a donation if the road is
built along the Ohio river between this
city and Moundsyille. The only dis
trict in the county that will be directly
interested is Franklin, and MOundsville
TO the extent of the competition between
the new road and the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad; besides il will be 4 very
difficult matter to construct aroad along
the narrOws between the two mentioned
points | think | can suggest q route
that will be much easier, and will open
up some OF the farming lands OF the
State. The route is this: Commencing
at this city. run up Wheeling creek TO
the mouth Of Stelps run, which distance
is about Ii miles; thence up said
run TO the FairmOnt pike, which
is about five miles, crossing the pike
east OF Pleasant Valley. This run has
three branches, all of which lead to the
pike, but think the middle one is the
most accessible. After crossing the
pike, 20 down ravine that leads to
Middle Grave Creek, and follow said
Creek 10 MOundsville The distance is
about twentv-nine miles, all of which is
level, with the exception OF short dis
lance where the road would cross the
pike. In Marshall county there are
nine Districts, and this route would 90
through a portion OF seven out
of the nine, which would in
sure almost solid vote for
donation. Besides, it would be a good
paying route, and open up one OF the
best, ii not the best, grazing and agri-
cultural county in the State; and there
are many other inducements that might
be mentioned, such as the immense
quantities of lime and sand stone and
timber that will soon be of great value to
this city. But as it is only the purpose
of this communication to draw the at
tcntion Of the leaders in this enterprise
10 this route, will not attempt to dis
cuss the great advantage it would be to
the corporations and country mentioned.

IMPORTANT DECISION
OF Interest to Brewers.

MILWAUKEE, December LIN the L.
S. Court to-day, Judge Dyer, rendered
his decision in the case OF Matthew GOtt-
fried, complainant VS.. the Phillip Best
Brewing Company. In his ruling the
Judge sustained the complainant's pat
ent. The decision Is one OF great inn
portancc to brewers, as it makes
them liable for a royalty for the use OF
a process and apparatus which has
been for several years in operation in
all the large breweries for pitching the
inner surface OF all beer kegs and bar
rels. The case may, however,
be appealed to the Supreme
Court for a final review. The sum
claimed by the plaintiff for the infringe
ment on his patent up to date and Tor
the royalty for future use is not vet de-
termined. The suits in this city were
against the Phillips Brewing Company,
the Schlitz Brewing Company and Ober-
man & Co. 1t is understood that other
large breweries, including those in Hi
nois and other States, have stipulated TO
abide by this decision, whatever It
might be, subject, of course, TO Confrma-
ton by the Supreme Court.

of announcing to the Senate the death
of his late colleague, Zachariah Chandler.
1t was not his present purpose to speak
of the character and services OF one so
long and so notably member of this

would invite the Senate to express by
resolution and by eulogy, its sense Of

THE INDIANS.
Doings of the Ute Commission.

LAsrINAs AGENCY, Col, November 29.
The Commission is patiently waiting
the arrival OF the White River Utes.
Several propositions have been made by
the Indians, through Ouray, to return
the stock and property captured at
White River, but all such offers have
been refused. Generals Hatch and
Adams will listen TO no compromise,
and the surrender of the guilty parties
is the only proposition that will
be entertained by them. Agent
Stanley received the money OF
Mrs. Meeker from Douglass, through
Chief Ouray, upon his own responsible
ity.
l:3O p. Murray informs the Com
mission that the troops reported to him
rs advancing on the Nintah Agency
were the Mormon militia; that they
have arrived there and are trying 10
persuade the Indians to renew the
fight, offering to join the Utes and furn-
ish men and arms. Jack is in the camp
twenty miles from White river. Ouray
thinks it doubtful about his coming
here, as he is afraid of the Commission.

Baxter-PrObable Fatal Shoot
ing-Fatal Accident on Reedy.

PARKERsBURG, November S0.-Dick
Baxter, the man who was so terribly
beaten by Thomas Twitler, for his al
legged intimacy with the latter's wife, is
still too low to be removed. A trial
of the case will come off as soon
as he is able to be remoy-
ed, when some very sensa-
tional developments are expected.
4 serious accident occurred on the
left hand fork of Reedy day before yes
terday. A Mrs. Talbot, an old lady,
seventy years of age, was on her way to
visit her son, accompanied by the latter
wife and child, and while driving along
the hillside the wagon toppled over,
precipitatIng the occupants into the
creek below and falling upen them.
The young woman and child escaped
without serious injury, while Mrs. Tai
bot was so severely injured that but
slight hopes are entertained OF her re-
covery.
The Roane Interior, of last evening,
contains the following account OF a
probably fatal shooting at Flat Fork
Church, in that county:
For a week or ten days there has
been serious misunderstanding be-
tween the Godbeys, of Flat Fork, and
Philip Ellis, and the life of the latter has
been in peril ever since. Last night,
during the progress of the meeting at
the above named church, Samuel God
bey became infuriated and swore he was
going to have Ellis hearts blood. Ellis
trie d in vain to pacify him. After the
meeting closed, Godbey followed Ellis
up and opened fire upon him as the
latter was mounting his horse; the
shot, however, not taking effect.
Seeing the position in which he was
placed, Ellis drew his revolver, and, as
Godbey raised his hand as though to
protect his face, fired. Godbey received
the first shot directly under the arm,
and the second took effect near the alb
domen. A large number of persons
were present, and the screams of the
women mingled with the reports OF the
murderous weapons, lent an additional
horror to the affair"
The trial is set for tomorrow, when
some interesting details will be brought
to light.

Save Il Beat.
WAsHISGroN, December 1.-The true
story of how the Presidents Message
and Secretary's report were surrepti-
tious obtained for publication has come
To the ears Of your correspondent this
evening. The matter was engineered
by Theron d. Crawford, the correspond
ent of the Chicago Times, and formerly
of the Pittsburgh press. He approach
ed a government printer, and finally
secured bargain TO obtain proofs OF the
document for 81 800. He made an ar
rangement with several papers TO re-
ceive the message and divide the ex-
pense. Some of them were disposed
to weaken on Saturday, but Mr..
Crawford was instructed by the Times
to 90 ahead, if that paper had to assume
all the expense itself. The message was
telegraphed so as TO close about four
o'clock in the morning, when the ChiCa-
20 Tribune got wind of it, and imme-
diately telegraphed to New York, where
a copy of the New York Times, with the
message in it, was obtained. The work
of ftelegraphing it from New York to the
Tribune commenced at four o'clock in
the morning. Ten wires were used, and
the Tribune was enabled to appear with
the message in a late edition about half
past seven o'clock this morning. This
is, perhaps, the most remarkable feat Of
telegraphing and setting up matter on
record, as the entire work of making ar
rangements, telegraphing and setting mp
over 10000 words was accomplished IN
less than four hours.
