Famine Stricken ireland.

New YORK, Feb. GA Dublin let
ter published this morning gives terri
BILE pictures of restitution in some parts
of Ireland. In some sections the
famine fever prevails to an alarming
extent and narrowing descriptions are
given of distress, There are four par
ishes in Conemora, lying along the
southern coast of Galway county. in
which it is said not one of the three
commissioners deputized by the Gov
eminent to inquire into the state OF
things i'll Connaught has visited and the
gentlemen travelling under the direction
of the Duchess of Marlborough haye
left these districts out of their inspec-
ton.
They lie away from all regular points,
and the workhouse, the legal refuge for
the destitute, is twenty-slx miles away.
The process servers, however have
visited these wilds. Those four par
ishes cover an area of about forty miles
square, and there is not in the whole
island a more stricken and woebegone
region.
The following Is a report about the
condition of one of the parishes, named
Carnough: with perhaps couple OF
dozen Of exceptions, the whole popula-
ton about five thousand-are on the
high road to death by starvation. Hun

Of them already.
"Those who have anything to eat are
living upon seed potatoes, every day
some family eating its last meal of
them. A number Of families squat in
their cabins, around the morsel of live
turf, all day long, in order not to awaken
the pangs of hunger by active exercise.
The wretched peasant mothers STUN

in their bare feet to lmplers for Indian

also carry loads of turf or dripping sea-
weed on their backs like beasts OF

fire. There is no bed under them
They lie IN their daily clothes, with an
old tattered rug around them. One Of
them is perfectly quiet, the others are

Fight In the Virginia Capitol
COMBAT BETWEEN A READJUsTER AND
A REPoRRER-THE GENERAL Az
sEMBLY IN CONFUSION.

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 9.-Consldsr-
able excitem ent prevailed in the capitol
during to.day's session Of the General
A ssembly, resulting from a personal en-
counter between W. w. Archer, one OF
the reporters Of the State, and Jane S
A. Frazier, member Of the House Of
Delegates from Rockbrldge. The atten-
ton of the House had been called by
Capt. j. H. Chamberlayne, delegate
from Richmond. and one Of the propri-
etors Of the State newspaper, to letter
written by Frazier to the Rockbridge
Enterprise, charging the grossest miss
statements and misrepresentation by
the State OF every word uttered on the
floor Of the House.
Mr.. FRAZER disclaimed any allunon
in said article to Capt. Chamberlayne,
but said he intended to refer 10 the re-
porter. Capt. Chamberlayne assumed
the responsibility Of his agents, and
branded the statement charging gross
misstatements and misrepresentation
as "false, malicious, wanton and SLAM
derous." Mr.. Frazier said he had dis
claimed anything offensive 10 the gen.
tleman from Richmond, and did not
propose to pick quarrel with any one
on the floor of the House. and SO the
matter rested.
Subsequently Mr.. Archer, the re-
porter referred to by Mr.. Frazier, went
out into the rotunda, and sent in for
MIR. Frazier, who, upon coming OFT
was accosted by Mr.. Archer asking
him if in his remarks on the floor he had
meant him, (Archer.) Mr.. Frazier
replied: Il say you have made false
statements about me in your report.
Mr.. Archer thereupOn struck Mr..
Frazier IN the face, and a fight ensued,
in which both did some lively tusseling.
Such was the disorder in the rotunda
that members Of both houses, as well
as spectators, made a general rush for
the scene, and all business was tempo
rarily suspended. The excitement was
! intense.
As soon az the House resumed its
deliberations a squad OF city police
were sent for, and committee appoin-
ted to investigate the Disturbance
Meantime the deputy sergeant.at-arms
arrested Mr.. Archer and another re-
porter, charged with taklsg part in the
assault. Both were brought before the
bar of the House, and dscha rged to
await the report of the committee. All
the parties, Frazier included, were sub
sequently arrested by the police and
bailed to appear befor the Police Court
tomorrow, to answer for breach Of
the peace,
