THE IRISH FAMINE,
The Distress on the Increase.
LITTLE BENEFIT FROM THE GOVERN
MENT'S RELIEF WORKS.

NEW YORK, Feb. pa cable special saws:
The distress in'Ireland grows more widespread
daily. 1t is only through the admirable ma
chinery OF distribution organized by the Man
sion House and Marlborough committees that
actual starvation is checked. The famine will
probably intensity during the coming fort
night, after which, for short period, It will
probably be less severe in consequence of the
employment OF labor in sowing crops. This
done the first crisis will follow.
Mr.. Jonathan Prim, famous for his labors in
l847, said today that the worst time will be the
last fortnight in May, all through June and
the first two weeks in July. This statement is
confirmed by experience, and it is also the
opinion OF every authority on the subject. Much
doubt is expressed regarding the value of gov
eminent measures for relieving the distress by
lending money for improvements These
works have been given to contractors who do
not employ the unframed and enfeebled poor
for whose benefit the works are intended, but
only men who can do the best work for
wages. The temptation to bad landlords to
wiring profit from the tenants is shown by
the following extraordinary notice from Der
ry paper issued by landlord who received a
grant from the government for inprovem ents /:
"Those tenants who wish to have i'm provo
m6ntS made on THAR hssilaiAs~ eithef drain
age, fencing or roads, are informed that upon
proper application money will be advanced.
but the tenant must agree to one shilling for
every one pound spent being added to his
rent. such increase to commence November
1881"
Letters and reports from various sections
show starvation at the door in thousands of
cases. In the county of Donegal the number
of distressed receiving relief has increased to
$50, 600 and in the county of Mayo to over ST.
900 by actual count.

quired to continue the present expedited
schedule of Star routes to the end of the fiscal
year, and that the service must be discontinued

routes If the required appropriation was re-
fused by Congress, that two months and half

virtually and actually receives no correspond

the serious inconvenience resulting to the pub

routes upon the present basis. The bill omits
any consideration of three or four routes which
have been special subjects of investigation by
special committee. leaving them to be ef-
fected by the ultimate recommendation of the
appropriation committee. The bill will pro-

CERNING THE CROOKED
COUNT.

litical Capital.
ISpecial DESPATCH to the Press,


AUGUSTA, Feb. 21.--A large amount of BUSH
ness was transacted today in the Legislature
Several important measures were finally pass
cd. The committee on State printing and
binding reported that SIC, 943 Is has been paid
Pillsbury s. Co. the past year, of which amount
$500 hove no vouchers filed. A. j. Cameron
for binding has received $S594.54, of which
$4,000 have no vouchers filed. Both branches
adjourned until Monday next at o'clock p. M
Investigating the Count.
The investigating committee on election re-
turns will give their first public hear ing on
Tuesday afternoon or evening next, when
witnesses from Oxford county, who have heen
summoned, will be present and tell how the
returns from that county were fraudulently
manipulated. Convincing proofs of forgery
and other crookednes IS in counting returns
will be shown. The Washington county re-
turns will be taken up by the committee just
as soon as the witnesses reach here. The evil
dence of fraud in these cases is overwhelm-
ing.
A Characteristic Trick.
The Argus of this morning, in its legislative
report, states that the order of Hill (fusion) of
CA1oAt S"AAhS uPoA euo 0oFOIuUI OOuu-
Gil for detailed statement of the expenses in
Cured in protecting the public property as
provided by the resolve appropriating $4,000
for that purpose, was tabled, and says that the
Republicans are opposed to giving stateme Mt
of facts. As reported in the PRESS, and as
the clerks record shows the order was tabled
and then taken up and passed. The order was
simply tabled until after the expira ton of the
morning hour, for fear that it might excite
discussion and interrupt business. 1t was
passed unanimously, without debate, and there
was nothing to indicate that the Republicans
were frightened. If anybody is frightened it
should be the fusionists in fastening upon the
people debt of such magnitude as they have
by their wicked acts and the responsibility of
which rests on them.
1t is said that the committee has examined
the case of the town of Allison found abund-
ant evidence Of fraud of T. he Lincoln county
sort.
Gov. Davis will return from his flying trip
Boston on Monday afternoon.
On Monday resolve will probably be re-
ported in the Senate appropriating some $780,
600 for re-uniforming the militia.

Congressional Temperance Society.
WASHINGTON, Feb 22.-The 10Th anniver-

was held in the Methodist Episcopal church
last evening. Senator Window presided in
The absence OF the newly elected president,
Secretary Thompson. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Messrs. Dawes and Williams of Mas
sachusetts, and appropriate resolutions were
adopted.
Democratic National Convention.
The all asorbing topic of the evening is the
meeting OF the National Democratic Execu-
tive Committee tomorrow morning. The lob
by and corridors of Willard's Hotel were
thronged this evening and judging from the
animated discussion on every hand the cues
tion OF where the national conversion shall be
held seems almost paramount to who shall be
the Presidential candidate. A strong delega-
ton is present from Boston, and while making
no particular claim, they offer the largest hos
pitality and best accommodations the city can
afford should the committee decide to compro-
mise conflicting views by selecting that city
1t would be at best but guess to predict the
action OF the committee tomorrow, bnt if any
reliance may be placed upon careful estimates
OF the average of views expressed this evening
II may De assumed that the chances are in
favor OF Cincinnati as against either Chicago
or st. Louis. The general impression seems
that June 10 will be selected as the date for
holding the convention.
