IreIand's Woe.

From the Charleston News and Courier,
The following letter of the Bishop of Ell
phin to Bishop Lynch gives vivid and dis
tressing account of the suffering of the poor
in Connaught, and explains why II is that
general aid is necessary;
SLIGO, Jan, n, 1850.
My DEAR LoRD-lt becomes my urgent
duty TO make known to your lordship, and,
through your favor, to the clergy and the
faithful OF your diocese, the restitution which
now unhappily prevails in every parish of
this diocese of Elphin, md which every day
assumes moro alarming proportions.
During the last four years of
agricultural depression our people
gradually lost their means and fell into
debt; and within the year which has just
osed the failure of crops, the exceptional
depreciation of live stock of every kind, and
the great mortality in cattle and sheep, re-
duced the great majority of the tenant class
to extreme poverty. At the present moment
they have neither money nor credit, nor the
coarest food to support life. The few wet,
unwholesome potatoes, saved from the
blighted crop of last year, nro now consumed
For weeks past very many of the poor have
sold or pawned the last article of clothing,
even their very beds, in order to buy little
Indian meal, which they could not got on
credit. In fact, famine is rapidly overspread-
ing this province, and the debility brought
on by unwholesome, insufficient food, during
the past months, will render its work ofdeath
rapid and irresistible.
In this sad condition we have but one
means of sewing our people from Wholesale
eviction and starvation--an appeal to Chris
tian sympathy for prompt and generous aid.
Great efforts will, no doubt, be made here in
Ireland by those who are themselves above
distress. Several thousand pounds will also
come to us from England; but all
that will be inadequate to mitigate
the distress in one case out of ten.
1t is on the ever-generous offerings of the
millions of our fellow-countrymen in Ameri
en- that wc must chiefly rely for saving the
lives of our people. And even with your
most abundant gifts, the help of the State
will still be necessary, if the people are to be
kept in their homes, and if their lands are to
be titled and seeded this spring in way to
save them from another famine in the COM
ing year.

PIneries Of Eastern Texas.

The jasper News-Boy says All over the
county throughout Eastern Texas are mil
lions of long-leaf pines wasting for want of
shipping facilities. The finest and best trees
are being lavishly used in making new rails
every two or three years for fencing purposes,
for building worthless log cabins; and, in
many instances, hundreds of trees, which, If
in market, would bring So to $40 each,
are daily being felled and burned, in order
TO prepare few acres Of sandy soil for
cultivation. Yet, in this almost pine
wilderness country, such a destruction and
waste of timber is only common
occurrence. and there Is seldom any
thought of it beyond the plowman's trouble
with the stumps, which are left-the monu-
ments Of departed trees and wasted timber.
Our section NAV almost be termed grand
forest of pine trees, but if this waste continues
surely there will come TO be a marked dc.
crease in the value of our pine lands; for,
once the soil denuded of its natural
growth, il will never again produce the same
species or quality Of timber, as that which
first lowered above its turf. The second
growth of timber is invariably different from
The first. For example, on lands where for
merly grew large, tall pines, will, after their
being cut away, grow white-oak gum, or a
stubby quality Of short-leaf pine. These
observations doubtless sound trivial, and pos
sibly unworthy Of mention, to many Of our
readers but there Is vast, timberless region,
which is not so Gar off in the dim, distant
future, is TO be supplied with building mate
rial, fuel, etc., and then our lumber facili-
ties will become known far and wide, and we
xp;lI fnd n use for all fhe fine trees left ia nv
the woodsman. Our pineries are the Texas
Leadville;; they are the big bonanza boom Of
the Lone Star State. Our main forte Is a
railroad, and we are anxiously awaiting the
movement Of capitalists in that direction.

Misery In Ireland.

The first cabin into which l went was
place that an Englishman would think too
bad for his pig. Its floor, of earth and stones,
reeked with damp, and water even stood in
the hollows; the only furniture was few
cups and saucers, stool or two, and as many
tubs and pots, in one corner
mass of dirty straw had evil
IDENTITY been used as bed, and on the
wretched hearth smoked rather than burned
an apology for fire. The man of the house
---shoeless and hatless, pale and haggard-sat
idle upon bag of Indian meal, beyond which
his food resources did not go, and through
the gloom around the hearth--there was no
windowto speak of-could be dimly made out
one or two crouching female figures. never
saw anything in the way of home in civil
lied country--and have seen good deal
more appalling than this. Yet here was the
case Of man renting three acres ofland, and
usually getting what he would be content to
call q living out ofthem. Now, alas he and
the thousands of others like him have reached
the end Of their miserable last seasons crop,
and beyond them but little way lies starva-
ton. The half bag of Indian meal was
all the family had, nothing more remain
ing upon which, by sale or mortgage, money
could be raised, and 10 the question, What
will you do when the meal gives out ?" came
the despairing answer, "The good Lord only
knows"
Not far from this was shown by my melan-

THE GARFIELD BRIBE.
From the Phila. Times.


Mr.. Justice Swayne's statement con-
corning the De Golyer business is
much palmer than that Of Mr.. Doolit-
tie. He says g..
So far as | am concerned there is an
entire is-statement. never wrote a
word of what Is attributed to me. l
never knew anything of the facts of
the matter charged against General
Garfield, and it was certainly never in
any shape before the Supreme Court
| had, therefore, neither occasion nor
nor opportunity to express any judi
cial opinion upon the subject. 1t is
not stated where any case in which
General Garfield was corned is report
ed. My confident impression is that
never heard of such a case before.
General Garfield is personal friend of
mine, and have the highest conf
denco in his integrity.
This is clear and correct. Justice
Swayne's opinion, that q contract for
purely professional services is valid,
but that such services are separated by
broad line from personal solicitation
and from official influence, was given
in the case of Burke vesus Child, with
which Mr.. Garfield had nothing to do.
When Chittenden, who was Wash
ing'on lobbyist, sued Mcclellan and
De Golyer in Chicago, for his share of
the profits of the paving contracts, the
5000 he had paid to Mr.. Garfield,
then chairman of The appropriations
committee, formed an element in his
claim.
The defendants counsel demurred ~
the recognition of This transaction, on
the ground that il was an agreement for
the sale of official influence, and there
fore void, as against public policy and
good morals, citing Justice Swayne's
opinion In Burke versus Child in support
OF this view. IL was in this trial that
the 5000 fee first came TO Ii ht. II
attracted great deal Of attention at the
time and much was said in the papers
about the judicial condemnation of Mr..
Garfield's relations with the paving con-
tractors. The details had, however
passed out of mind, so that when the
quotation on the subject was lately
printed and attributed to Justice Swayne
it was widely accepted as correct. Tile
truth appears to be that IL was Judge
Farwell, Of the Circuit Court Of Cook
county, Illinois, who passed judgment
on this fee, and it never came before the
Supreme Court. This appears to be the
whole truth Of the matter, which has
been badly muddled during the past few
days. The facts concerning Mr.. Gar -
field, it will be observed, are not ques-
TONED. The mistake has been in put
ting the case in the wrong court.

THE Money MARKET.-The money
editor of the Ledger, of yesterday re-
fers to the large supply of money md
the uses it is put to by capitalists as
follows:
"The stagnant condition of our
money market is shown by the large
cash balances on hand, as revealed in
the semi-annual statements now being
made by our monetary institutions,
the excess over previous reports being
largely increased. The fact is that
banking institutions are now more
careful in placing funds, the expert
ence of the past being "a very severe
one as to proportionate loans on real
estate as compared with the mar ket
value, and the property now held upon
foreclosure of mortgages is larger than
ever before known. This depression
in real estate of course results from
the more general inactivity of bust
ness in every department of trade, and
until a revival is brought about we
may look for continued timidity
among those who hold the reserve
forces of all enterprise. Interest rates
are quite low now, five per cent. being
considered fair price, and under this
state affairs large sums are gravitatlng
into bonds and local miscellaneous
stocks, as reliable investments for re-
turns. The depressed condition of
business all over the United States
most assuredly accounts for the large
investment of capital in our Govern
ment securities, so that the present
favorable condition of our national
finances is due to the want of more
general prosperity among the people,
the moneyed men hiding away their
spare capital in As and 43s instead of
risking it in doubtful business ven
lures at the present time. Whene yer
more than usually perceptible re-
vival of trade will be inaugurated the
premium upon Government bonds will
disappear and the demand for invest
ment in these securities will slacken.
The banks are discounting at 495 per
cent, but with fewer customers Il ian
they desire. Very choice paper is
also taken by private lenders as low as
3@3t per cent. Call loans are quoted
at 3(64 per cent. In New Y ork
money is easy and call loans rule at
1908 per cent. on stocks and 1l0s2 per
cent. on Government bonds. Time
loans are in somewhat better demand,
but without material change in rates.
Prime commercial paper is discounted
at 394t per cent.
