Woodford in New Orleans

The Hon. Stewart L. Woodford ad-
dressed the largest political mass meet
ing at New Orleans since the war, spoke
for one hour and half to four acres Of
people. filing lafayette Square. The
following 10 q sample Of this political
gospel, so good and strong all the way
through, 1t is next impossible to cut it
in two anywhere:
When the Confederacy grounded its
arms at Appomattox, the Captain Of the
Union forces spoke in one sentence the
will and wish Of the North and the Ma
tion when he said, LET us have peace. +"
I believe that lie also spoke the prayer
and purpose Of the wisest and best men
of the suffering South. II I did not thus

died in vain. should despair of the
Republic. / could not be nere to plead
with you for peace and nationality. You
fought with great courage; you were

and common sense have only carved

0antic failure. Your system must have
Inevitably ended in petty independent
and warning States, or in consolidated
empire. Fortunately for yourselves, for,
tunately for Us, your defeat saved you
from certain anarchy and military des-
potism. It saved to Us all our commun-

tional free government should give. You
are not the citizens Of emssculated
States, helpless at home and pOwerless
abroad, nor are you the subjects Of an
empire. but you are equally with rs the
equal citizens Of the one great and free
Republic. How shall this peace be as
sured! Only by equal and exact justice
by all and for all. This will give it. and
nothing else will, or should, or can. The
manhood of the white Republicans of
the North will not and cannot accept
less. IL we granted less to you, you
would Justly say we were ungsnerous in
our victory. II We asked less you would
despise us in your hearts. Look this

The article in this issue headed ''Hum-
bugs and Counterfeits," merits q very
careful reading by all contemplating
life insurance. Its statements are re-
liable and true to the letter. 1t is so
easy on this subject to mistify those who
have not made it a special study that in
a majority Of instances the money spent
for life insurance is worse than wasted

this subject as Of Greek, and 80 too often

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Pure and Impure Literature-Po-
litical Economists-In O Rough
and Tumble.

Htical EcOnOmlStS-In O Rough
and Tumble.
Our neighbors across the st. Lawrence
are truly good. They have remonstrat-
ed forcibly against the Introduction of
those horrible papers which, to the dis
grace OF New York, are sold openly in
our streets. The rascals who conduct
them manage to steer clear of the PEN
alties Of the law just by the skin of their
teeth, but the stuff that is published,
with the disgusting coarse wood cuts
only surpassed in moral and typographi-
cal ugliness BY the vile le:terpress, is in
every way demoralizing. The ideal pa
per would no doubt boil down police re-
ports more than our dailies do to-day,
but their expansion in dozens of disre-
putable illustrated sheets seems to be
profitable.
Loud and Just are the complaints that
arise from the sensible public against
the nauseous flood of vicious juvenile
periodical literature which within the
last year or two has risen SO high as to
seriously threaten the moral and materi-
al welfare Of young America. 1t is
therefore hearty welcome that awaits
the beautiful new weekly, "Harper's
Young People," which is just announced
by that all-embracing and all-powerful
publishing house on Franklin Square.
The new weekly is brimful Of matter to
fascinate the young-and, for the mat
ter Of that, the grown up people too
sparkling with spirit, adventure and fun,

for youthful energy and ingenuity,

The Land Agitation in Ireland.

Although the newspapers are giving
full accounts Of the riotous proceed
ings in many parts Of ireland and OF the
arrest and trial of some Of the leaders,
very little has been published to show
the cause or origin Of the excitement.
1t may be gathered, however, that the
whole island is held by a few land lords,
who rent it to the peasantry, and that
owing to failure of crops and the exhor-
bitant rents, the people are almost re-
6uced to starvation. The masses have
combined to resist the payment OF rents
and have almost organized a rebellion
against the British Government which
they regard as the chief cause Of all
their misfortunes.
In an article from the Western Chris
,ian Advocate, by Rev. G. w. Pepper,
we find the following comprehensive
statement of the causes which have led
TO this excitement:
First, the British government has con-
fiscated every acre on that beautiful
island from the native original owners.
At one time out of the 20, OOO, 600 acres
of which Ireland is composed there was
a confiscation Of IL. 600 600, SO that now,
according to the London Times, vio-
lent anti-Irish paper, there are only
5000 persons, out of over 5.OOO,OOO who
are proprietors Of land in fee simple. In
a popuiation of $500, 600, with nearly
600. 600 tenants, two -thirds OF the whole
is in the hands of 742 landlords. There
are over s, COO, 600 there who do not own
even An acre. Again, the registrar gen.
eral Of England, in his last report, states
that there are 81 600 one-roomed houses
in ireland. in which families, from eight
to ten, eat, sleep and die in the presence
of each other. Three lords IN the c0un-
ty of MAYO, own 254, 600 acres-on these
broad acres there are not 100 comforta-
BILE houses in which my lord would put
his hunting dogs. The eminent George
Jacob Holyoke, an English reformer who
is now in this country, says that 12.OOC
people own all England, and that in Ire
land there is Q strip Of country sixty
miles long owned by one man. The
Irish laborer is Q hapless creature
worse fed, worse clothed. worse housed
than the Russia serf before the ukas<
of emancipation. The children are rag
ged. To every magigtrate, squire ane
petty despot the people are expected t1
doff their hats.
Their condition ir pitiable one in
deed, and they can hardly be blamed TO
resorting to extreme measures for ob
taining relief, but sad IS it is, we greatl!
fear that they have not the ability Il
make a successfui resistance to the or
ganized power Of the English Govern
ment, and SO far from obtaining the re
lief desired, it will only result in disaste
to the people and death to their leaders
But though apparently unsuccessful, tn
agitation cannot but awaken their ruler
to an appreciation of their wrongs whicl
may result in measure Of relief to thi
long suffering people.

DARING PLOT.
Attempts of Convicts to Escape From
State Prison.
The Attempt frustrated by the Visilant
Officials.

CONCORD JUNCTION, July IL. Another
plot for wholesale release of prisoners has
been discovered and frustrated at Massachu-
sets State Prison, through interception of a
letter by prison officials. The letter disclosed
plot 10 capture certain officers, a railroad
train, etc.
Yesterday, officers Simonjs, Fits and Fra
ger were cautioned by the warden to be on
their guard, as they had been singled out for
rough handling, at the same time disclosing
to them the plot. These officers were watch
men, each of them having about 80 men I'M
der their charge.
Details of the plot are as follows At a
given signal Simonds, Fits and Frazer were
to be overcome, which would release 100
prisoners in their charge, after which the deg
pcradoes were to attack and take possession
Of the railroad train which runs into the pris-
on yard, and with the train as battering ram
batter down the entrance gate, opening the
way for escape of several hundred prisoners.
Friday ftO-day) was selected, on account of
its being visiting day, when the warden and
other officers would be engaged with callers.
The resignation of Smonds and his non APP
pcarance at his post this morning, probably
warned the leaders and thus prevented frui-
ton of one of the most daring prison plots
ever concocted. Had the escape been at
tempted, many lives would no doubt have
been lost and the prison emptied of nearly
all its occupants.
