FOR IRIsHMEN no READ.

The New York Herald of the 2Sth
states that according to its own re-
ports and statements there is an Irish
organization in this country to-day
possessing fund of between eighty
and ninety thousand dollars. This
fund is increased every week by small
contributions, and the professed OBJ
ject for which it is to be used is to get
up a skirmish against the British
government in the interest of the Irish
race. The enemy which the Irish
people in ireland are on the skirmish
line against now is death-death by
cold or famine. The starvation
of a whole race is threatened,
and the world is ringing with
its appeal for succor Under
such circumstances it is unpatriotic,
unchristian and inhuman to retain
this immense amount Of money wait
ing for some visionary opportunity
while the people whomit is proposed
to renotely benefit are famishing. 1t
is potatoes they want and not pow
der. A good dinner, and not dose
of dynamite. is the great need Of the
hour. The trustees of this skirmish>
ing fund should at once draw their
check and send the amount to their
suffering countrymen. Those who
have contributed to it will, We are
certaic, indorse the action of the
trustees, .,ud commend instead Of con-
denim them. A skirmish for bread is
now the great question in ireland.

The Marquis of Anglesey, liberal
member Of the house Of peers, is dead
aged 80. VIM. II. Smith, first lord
of admiralty, liberal conservative
speaking in Westminster last night,
condemned the disposition of certain
liberal politicians to coquette with
home rulers, evidently referring to
the promise of Lord Ramsey to sup
port inquiry into the question of home
rule in the house of commons, in re-
turn for which Liverpool home rulers
promised him their votes.

His application will doubtless be
refused, as his community occupies
exactly the same position as Protes-
tant free churches, which provide
their own edifces and pay their own

Honor, first, to the old guard of

hard fight for nationality and human
rights. They were the wavering
centre Of the line of battle, and their
steadiness, courage and devotion
throughout the entire struggle in
spired the whole Republican host
with the zeal which made victory
certain.

patriotic instincts led them to choose
the right side, and whs threw them

of youth.

duty to the party which has protected

the fight was closest.
Honor to the sagacious men of
business, who laid aside for a time
their engrOssing occupations and
labored to secure the triumph of the
party which has made business profit

currency and sound financial condi-
tions. The part they took in the

Wade Hampton did deliver the
Solid South, as he promised. There
was no mistake on his part. Why
should there be any where the elsc-
ton does not really begin until the
partisan managers sit down to count
the votes? The Solid South was
ready to give its electoral votes, with
out an exception, to anybody who
would help it to get control of the
Government which it failed to dss-
troy. Delaware was kept in line by
only 1000 majority, and the majority
in Florida was not large, but the
thing was done as Wade Hampton
promised. The sixteen States in
which slaves were formerly held gave
all their electoral votes, and about
460, 900 majority on the popular vote
as counted, for General Hancock.
No one cares whether the majority
there was small or large. There is
not an intelligent Democrat who
does not know that the real majority
was suppressed, stamped out, and
virtually disfranchised in several of
the Southern States. No Democrat
feels that his party is the stronger, no
Republican feels that his party Is the
weaker, because of the large major
tiles where free elections do not exist.
The answer to Mr.. Hampton is found

PROHIBITION ADOPTED IN
kANsAs.-Sufiicient returns have
been received to show that the
constitutional amendment pr,hib.
iting the manufacture and sale
of liquors in Kansas has been ADOPT
ed by at least 10000 majority. The
friends of temperance made special
efforts in favor of the amendment on
election day, that being the principal
question in most localities. In all
the cities, and many small towns, the
ladies electioneered for the cause of
temperance, and had tempting lun-
chss spread in the vicinity of the
polls,. which voters partook of freely,
the only consideration being prom.
ise to vote for the amendment. The
opponents Of the measure made no
effort to defeat it, and will content
themselves with devising means to
evade its operation and surmount it
with such legislation enactmsnts as
will render it of no effect. The
amendment will 60 into effect when
the vote is canvassed and published
by authority Of the State board, and
in the opinion of many lawyers this
will abrogats all licenses heretofore
granted by any municipal law. 1t
also virtually repeats the present
dram.shep act of the State relating
to the granting of licenses. The
other provisions of the act prohibit.
ing penalties for sale without auther.
ity of law remain in full force and
effect. 1t is not known how the leg.
islature- elect stands on the questions
growing out of the amendment, and
strong fight will be made by the
two factions,
