1t appears, from the Springfield Register,
that injustice is done to certain citizens of
Springfield who, in 1871, gave their bond to
the state to purchase what additional ground
might be needed for the state-housc in the
frequent newspaper statements Of late that the
aforesaid citizens have gone back on their
bond. 1t was not until 1877 that the lepis.
lature finally took steps to find out what
additional ground" was needed, and that
point having been settled, the citizens In
question made an attempt to purchase it, but
found the owners unwilling to sell at any.
thing like a reasonable price The only
thing left was for the state to have the land
condemned and its value fixed by commits.
sien. The commissioners assessed the land
at $4,000, and the bondsmen rendered the
owners of the land the money, but they re-,
fused to accept 1t, commencing litigation to
overthrow the appralsement. The bondsmen
then rendered the $40 600 to the state treasurer,
but he also refused to receive it, SO it is Ger
tainy from no unwillingness on their part to
pay the money, but rather GU account of use

Parnel, the Irish patriot, had an enthusi.
astic reception on his arrival in New York
last Saturday. In response to a speech of
welcome, he made some short remarks,
briefly outlining the objects of the agitation
of which he is the head, promising to speak
more at length ON future occasion. He then
proceeded to the home of his mother and
three sisters, who reside IN New York
Next evening he was met by an immense
concourse at Madison Square Garden, where
he delivered an admirable address Thurlow
Weed occupied seat on the platform, and
Judge Gildersleeve presided The substance
of his speech was that his mission to this
country WAS political as well as charitable
While there was no doubt that great distress
prevailed IN Ireland, and aid from this side
was needed to prevent wide-eytended suffer
ing if not starvation, he reminded the meeting
that America had for years been sending aid
to Ireland, and the only effect had been to aid
the poor tenants TO pay their enormous rents
and thus to fatten the landlords, who were by
these means encouraged to keep up the rents.
1t was therefore of more importance than
charitable aid that means should be placed in
the hands of the patriots in Ireland TO agltate
against and overthrow the infamous tenant
system that England had imposed on the
Means to avert starvation could be
extorted from the government, but political

The New Years reception at the presIden.
tia mansion in Washington was varied by
quite lively episode. Among those who
waited on the president was one COL Henry
c. De Alma, collector of customs at Sitka,
Alaska, 1t seems, long after he had received
the appointment and entered upon the duties
of his position, through the sheer careless
ness Of the President and John Sherman, his
nomination was rejected by the senate, and
the colonel could get no pay for his services
He came TO Washington and his case was
laid before congress and the senate finance
reported in his favor, but the mat.
ter has been lingering for a year or more, and.
meantime De Alma and family are starving.
SO he awaited himself of the occasion
the New Year reception offered him
to give the President a piece of his mind,
which he did in very vigorous Anglo.Saxon
He was removed by the police, but the incl,
dent will probably lead to decent attention
being paid to his case.
