CAPT. JoUETTs PROMoTIoN.-The Senate COM
mittee on naval affairs to-day decided to recon-
mend the confirmation of the nomination of
Capt. Jas. E. Jouett as commodore in
the navy. His nomination for advancement
and the favorable action Of the committee
are based, upon Capt. Jouett's conspicuous
record Of gallant service, and primarily
upon the recommendation of the board of
admirals convened after the close of the war;
headed by Farragut and including Admirals
Porter and Dupont,) that Jouett be advanced
thirty numbers for ''heroic conduct In battle" )"
His present nomination provides for carrying
this recommendation into effect to the extent OF
sixteen numbers, thereby placing him at the
foot of the list of commodores.

deem it my duty to the city. over whose welfare
l have been called TO preside, and to the plb-
lie at large, which is being tnfamously deceived
by incendiary Misrepresentation as to our Situ-

the slightest reason TO apprehend any disturb
ances. riot or iawlessnesS whatever, from the.
working classes of San Francisco. Ii troubles
comes to us it will not come from them. Most
ineXcusable and outrageous means are being
used by designing men to goad them into riotous
demonstrations but they will fail. They are as
they have proved themselves to be under most
trying provocation the law abiding and peace
preserving portion of our population. l vouch
to the world for them, that they will so continue,
and further declare, however the people abroad
may be imposed upon, that the people OF this
city see through all the transparent humbug-
gerry OF military interference, police Increase
and inf1ammatory circulars and will wait their
constitutional day OF judgment to peaceably,
but effectively, consign their authors to politi-
cal infamy and oblivion which they most richly
deserve.

The HOVels Of Ireland.
SCENES OF ABJECT MISERY AND SICkENING
SQCALOR.

George Hepworth In a cable dispatch to the
donors Of the New York Herald relief fund tells
OF the sights he witnessed In the suffering coun-
ties of ireland. He says: The first case re-
member was that OF an old woman who sat on
the muddy threshold OF her hut as he went by,
lifting up her hands as if in supplication and
crying, Nothing has passed my lips for twenty
four hours" | never knew the value of a loaf OF
bread till that moment When we gave her half
loaf she took 1t with the eagerneSS OF famiShed
dog She trembled with age and weakness, for
she was over seventy years Of age, AID hunger
had reduced her to the likeness or q skeleton.
There was glare in her eye that told OF famine.
She stood In the middle OF the road and thanked
God that Americans had not forgotten Ireland.
MOTHER AND BABE.
Nor shall soon forget the sight which saw
In another hut. The mother OF seven children
was holding the youngeSt,.a girl Of a few
months, In frantic embrace, moaning as she
rocked to and fro. She looked up With startled
gaze as we entered the Goor, which we could
only do by bending, and gave a low cry as
though In very terror. After few minutes she
the landlord sent 10 evict her. Then she told
me she had nothing to eat for many days ex-
cept poor dole OF Indian meal which a relief
committee gave her, and for which she was
starved herself it was impossible to supply milk
for her babe. She would be compelled to see it
Gle py inches IN her arms. But for the meal
which the relief committee supplied the family
would nave literally had nothing to eat.
ON THE EDGE OF THE BOG.
Let me give you a sample of what saw In
many scores OF hutS, and in a few which are
matched and OF stone, and stand on the edge of
a bog which affords them peat for fuel. They
contain three small rooms One is the room
where the household lives. Through a small
hole In its roof OF the kitchen smoke is gene
rally forced to escape. There is almost peat
famine this year on account Of the wet weather.
The only fuel consists Of a bunch OF green twigs.
Another room is for the cowff they are happy
enough to possess one, which is very rarely the
case. The COW is part OF the family, and
always goes in and out through the front
door: In the third room, which is perhaps
eight OF nine feet square, the family sleeps
They have one bed, with two thin, worn
out blankets, and here four Of a household OF
nine must sleep, not lengthwise, but crosswise
covering themselves as best they can The rest
pile up small bundle Of straw in the corner
and sleep on it. Pressed by hunger, they have
eaten all their store Of potatoes. The only food
in the whole house is a few pounds OF Indian
meal. which they mix with water, and make it
into stirabout. This is all they have and all
they will have until the autumn. What WON
der, then, that they should be disheartened and
discouraged? | have asked again and again
what part Of their wretchedness is due to in
temperance. l am assured that 1t Is caused
solely by the utter failure of the crops.
