Gen. Johnso,a's address.

Gen. r. w. Johnson was next introduced
and commenced his remarks with an ANUS
ing reference to the manner in which the
committee had filled up the gap with home
talent pending the arrival of Mr.. Dillon.
The general spoke as follows:
After the very able and eloquent remarks of
our distinguished guest it would be imposing
upon your good natures if were to attempt to
detain you long, and hence 1 shall only say
word. We came here this evening to hear the
speech of one of Ireland's ablest men, who,
fresh from his home beyond the great waters,
comes to tell us of the sufferings of his people,
a people bound to Us by the ties of kindred and
q common language. The presence of this large
concourse of people is not from idle curiosity.
On the contrary, I can see in your faces the
deep sympathy you feel in your hearts for tho
sad and distressed condition of the famine
stricken people of the old country. As soon as
the lightning flashed the news across the great
ocean of the Necessities of the people of Ire
land, the sympathetic chords of our nature
were set in motion and our hearts and our
hands spanued the mighty waters and embrac-

order of march and escorted Mr.. Parnell up
Third street to the Opera House.
At the hotel and along the whole route, the
utmost enthusiasm was manifested. The
crowd OF people, men, women and children,
was simply immense. The sidewalks were
crowded with spectators, and surging mass
rushed along after the procession. Cheers
were frequent and hearty: Altogether the
demonstration was creditable in the fullest
success, and fully $1,000 people shared in the
ovation given to the great Irish agitator. Ar.
irving in front of the Opera House, tho crowd
was found to be doubled in its immensely and
with no little difficulty was MIR. Parnell intro
duced into the Opera House, followed by the
cheers of the pOpulace.

at the Merchants Hotel.

Returning to the hotel Mr.. Parnell was
assigned to parlors No. IS and No. 10, on
the second floor. Having removed the
stains of travel and refreshed himself Mr..
ParneA was taken in charge by Mayor Daw-
son, Col. John S. Prince and Hon. G. NJ. Mac
Carthy.
Shortly after, about 7:15 o'clock P. NJ,
supper was announced, and escorted
by the above named gentlemen, Mr.. Parnell
was conducted into supper, specially pre-
pared, the bill of fare Astounding in game
products of Minnesota. While at supper
the escort, consisting of the Irish and Cath
Ole societies, arrived at the hotel, accom-.
panied by the Great Western Band. An i'm
mense crowd had gathered and impatiently
but decorously awaited Mr.. Parnell's
appearance. The hotel corridors were
crowded, and the streets about
the hotel were jammed and crowded with q
surging mass of people.
AT 7:45 o'clock Mr.. Parnell appeared, con-
Quoted by Mayor Dawson, Col. Prince and
Mr.. C. NJ. MacCarthy. They went out by
the ladies' entrance, and Mr.. Parnells ap-
pearance was the signal for three cheers
which were given with vigor by the societies
aided by the enthusiastic populace. Enter
ing a carriage at the corner of jackson and
Third streets, the party was conveyed to the
Opera House.

idea to conceive of the boon for Ireland, and
since il is the sole boon that will save her, why
should it not be grsnted2 Laws might be
needed which would constrsin certain land
lords for reasonable compensation to curtail
their denesnes, and admit Irish peasants,
where now but deer arc allowed to walk. 1t
might be necessary to force absentees, who care
for Irish acres only as means to secure them
Irish pounds to accept in lieu of their title
deeds government bonds. But what
of this? The salvation of nation is the su-
preme law of property. In the freest govern
ment of the world the nation retains over its
lands the right of eminent domain. Individ-
uals hold lands as members OF nation, In viz
tue Of the laws of that nation, and never did
them to be used and kept
to the detriment and death of the people.
1t is not my province to propose in detail what
measures might be adopted for the relief of the
irish peasantry. This shall be the business of
statesmen. Suffice to say that if the task be
once undertaken there are thousand methods
whereby the evil can be remedied with wrong
to none through the fairest and most equitable
laws.
God speed tho day when a brighter
sun shall rise over afflicted Erin! So long has
she suffered and pinned in her sorrows that since
there is justice above the wished-for day can
not be far distant. Then, when all her legal
wrongs are annulled, when no oppression shall
blithe her spirit, will she prove to the world
what she is and what she would always have
been had the opportunity been allowed hap
py, prosperous island; first flower of the earth,
first gem of the sea- In the meanwhile all
honor to the men, who. in Celtic parlance,
''stand in the gap" and labor to hasten her
liberation.
Following Bishop Ireland the Mayor
presented the Ron. Charles Stew
art Parnell, whose |. opening
remarks aroused fairly deafening applause
and whose speech throughout was greatly
applauded.

demands of Irishmen had ever been obtained
from the imperial government, except by
means of agitation. To say to-day to Mr.. Par
nelPs countryr1en to stop all monster meet
ings to cease their loud demands for reform, is
to say to them to forget their manhood, to be
contented with their chains, to fall back into
the silence of the grave.
No fault can be found with the ag-
itation; the means are legal, the demands are
reasonable. The land league agitation coun-
sells no shedding of blood, no agrarian out.
RACES; moral force is its sole arm. It fosters no
hatred against the persons of Irish landlords;
its antagonist is the system of Irish landlord
ism, to which the better natures of landlords,
individually often kind and generous men, arc
enslaved, no less than the homes of their ten
antry. 1t propagates socialistic or COM
munistic doctrines; it distinctly recognizes
the rights of property, and does not ask that
parliament touch an acre of the landlords de-
mesne even to save the life of the nation with
ont compromising him for his loss. The Irish
people to-day. as in the days of Daniel OCen-
nell, despite their sufferings, have that control
men and to great peoples, which allows them to
hold their souls in patience. and to
seek right however pressing the emergency,
only by righteous means, sure that though the
delay be longer, the triumph in the end shall
be the greater.
Mr.. Parnell and his fellow-agitators
demand that such changes be made in the Irish
land laws, as will gradually conduce to peas
ant proprietorship, giving to the Irish tenant
the ownership of the soil, and by the magic
power of property raising his courage, opening
before him the avenues of ambition, industry
and freedom, constituting him the equal of
the French or the Belgian peasant. What is
| the cause of the unexampled prosperity of
modern France, country which has astonish-
ed the world by the ease with which she pays
I off the billions Of her war indemnity and finds
at once when nations believed her to be neces-
| sarily exhausted, billions equally as many for
| internal improvements? The cause is her peas
ant proprietorship. Its grand and noble

One of orr thrifty darI-iac who cnlti- /

One of our thrifty darkies, who cult
Yates small farm not far from town,
was interviewed the other day by one
of our merchants, and qestioned about
the condition Of his crop. He gave a
gloomy account of things generally, and
said the rains had entirely ruined him
that his cotton was rotting, and would
yield scarcely anything. When asked
how many bales he had made last year,
he said fire; and when asked how many
he expected to make this year, he re-
piled that he had already picked out
four and had three more in the field that
he was picking out as rapidly as posi-
BILE, aud thought that he would reach
seren bales this year though he had
counted upon eight. If all the crops are
ruined in the same proportion, planters
ought to be satisfied.
The MISUNDERSTANDING has
been completed to Opelousas. All it
needs now is leveling. Beyond this
point the work is progressing rapidly,
and Washington will soon be reached
We are informed that the road will be in
readiness for passenger trains i'll about
two weeks. Our people are jubilant,
and things begin to look quite lively.

We met gentleman this week from
a distant part of the parish. He says
that their best land in a good season
will produce bale of cotton to the acre,
and that an avetage yield would be
three fourths of bale; but this year,
notwithstanding the prospects in July
were better than ever, owing to the
prolonged rainy weather since, the
average crop would be between q half
and three of bale.
