HDemocratic Campaiga song.
Sons OF sires, whose names immortal
Round our country's altar shine,
Sires who fell at freedom's portal,
Leaving you the gift divine,
Gathering from. the past it's glory,
Learning from the past its woe,
Rise ~ freemen, write your story,
Write in characters that glow.
This is time for strength and action,
Men of courage, firm and true.
Let no blind, insidious faction
All your mighty works undo.
Send to front II, heart that falters,
Trust no voice that bids you stay;
He who paths straightforward alters
Leads you far from victory's way.
Shall we be one gorious Union,
State respecting sister State?
Equal, each, from full communion,
Dare one think or hesitate9
Shall we IA mighty nation,
Weakened, bow to party force?
Shall the sovereign peoples station
Be usnrped by cunning course?
Lo! the graves are torn asunder!
Forth our Zero Fathers stand.
Echoes far, like rumbling thunder.
Censure DER the recreant land.
Trace with awe each ghastly finger.
Pointing there to blood and tears.
Her o'er Seventy 10 linger,
Fixing wrath of hundred years.
Dem mncrats, from snow capped mountains

See have dried wlr's bloody fountains.
Harki re .echu friendlie.t strains.
Dem from palm crowned riyers,
Democrats. from sunny skie1,
La! the nation throbs and quivers,
Evermore dissensiou diea.
Through the coming campaign ticket
United rise in might to bear,
Safe the democratic ticket
Trusted in your honor's care.
May the God OF nations 'hield you,
Daughters of the nation pray;
May.vvur faithful courage yield y0u
Laurels of victorious day.
Firm of heart. in full reliance
In the Justice of your cause
Bidding every foe defiance,
Forward nowi nor rest aor pause,
Northmen! South men! strong united,
Be as one unbroken band.
This battle-cry your faith has p!ighted,

As an .asgle. from the height,
Looking down upon the lands,
On forecasts black as night,
Fair fields and desert sands,
See the traveller below
Losing heart. as. league on league.
Long wildernesses show
No end to his fatigue.
So faith, amid her stars,
Beholding far beneath
The bright and gloomy bars
In the web of life and death,
Sees weary hearts that deem
The dark breadth is the whole,
Sees happy hearts that dream
The bright rays all their goal,
Ahi let this faith be ours
That even mid the pain.
Above the present towers.
And sees the nearing gain;
While, breadth by breadth. appears
As from the weaver's hand, 81.
The pattern of the years
Which God Himself has planned.

Ireland.

The Government AFraigned-DenHn.
 clatiOn of Its Tardiness i'm Providing
 Relief Measures.
 DUBLIN, Jan. 20.-Pursuant to the call signed by prominent Home Rulers and oth- CTS, large meeting was held in the City Hall In this city to-day, for the purpose of con- sideripg what measures would be taken to abate the distress now existing in this coun- try. Lord Mayor Gray presided and called the meeting to order with few remarks ex. planatory of it's object, and expressing deep sympathy with the inhabitants of the districts which are now face to face with famine in the dead of winter. His Lordship trusted that the large audience present would show itself to be of one mind in reference to the responsible duties Provi- dence has involved upon the leading Irishman and the results of the gathering might pres ently be seen in some action tending to assist and relieve the people who were being crushed with prevailing troubles. William Shaw, Home Rule member of Parliament for Cork, and Mitchell Henry, Home Rule mem- Der for Galway county, made speeches prom ising for that body immediate consideration of Irish affairs. They believed that Parliament would not feel like as suming the responsibility of postpon- inglHthis subject when its importance and the actual condition of large propor- tion of the Irish people were placed before it with proofs of the necessity of some speedy action. After addresses by other persons to the same general effect, series of resolutions were offered and unanimously passed, strong ly condemning the Government for it's tardi- ness in providing some measures of relief for starving Ireland, affirming that it was in the power of the ministry, even during parlia- mentary recess, to carry forward the public works which had been proposed, and to make other arrangements to meet the crisis now upon the country.

THE INDIANS.

Douglass ClamOring for HattOns-EHis Demands Promptly Refused-ESforts to Induce the Utes' Removal.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The Commissioner of Indian Affairs day or so ago received 8 message stating that Chief Douglass had been demanding rations, but they had been refused him. To-day the Commissioner received the following:
 Los PINos, Jan. 19. To MT. Hayt, Commissioner, Washington, D. o.:
 Douglass was at the agency yesterday re- newing his request for supplies through Sa- pavanaro. He was refused, which caused considerable dissatisfaction among the Indians. Sapavanaro favored giving Douglass four as 8 peace measure during Ouray's absence. The Indians are offering exorbitant prices for arms and ammunition.
 [Signed, SHERMAN,
 Clerk in Charge. The law forbids the issue of rations to In dians on the warpath. The White River Utes are considered to be on the warpath until they surrender the twelve Indians concerned in the outrages at the White River agency, conse- quently the demand of Douglass will not be complied with.
 A delegation of Cherokee Indians now In the city will have an interview with Ouray and the other Utes in Washington and urge them to give up their lands in Colorado and come down to the Indian Territory and settle The Government approves of this project and will use all it's influence ts bring about it's consummation. The Ute chiefs fully appre- ciate the gravity of the situation and will use all their influence to bring about speedy and amicable adjustment of the questions at issue. The Secretary of the Interior and tho Com missioner of Indian Affairs are quite hopeful of the success of their efforts to induce the surrender of the twelve guilty Utes and the removal of the tribes from Colorado.

tionally severe. As has happened on two previous occasions of great fires, consid- erable part of the foreign district was de- stroyed, including several missionary estab- Ishments, one church and the office of the foreign newspaper, the Tokio Times. The United States Legation was in danger, but fortunately escaped unharmed Extraordi- nary measures of relief have been instituted by the Government authorities and private individuals. There is strong cry for i'm perative action by the Government to pre- vent future crowding together Of .inAamma- ble structures.
 Much surprise and feeling is noticeable at the announced intention of the Japanese Government to fix higher rate of customs duties upon American than upon English imports. It is evident that strenuous eff forts will be made by the English agents to keep down taxation upon English commo- dities, while the American agents have deemed it incredible that any unjust dis elimination would be shown against q nation which has all along stood up as the firmest friend of Japan. Nevertheless, this unfor- tunate mistake has been committed, and energetic representations of its impolicy and danger have been presented by the United States minister, whose remonstranoes, it is believed will prove effectual

 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.-The pilot, mail and purser's bag of the quarantined steamer City of Peking were landed last evening. She brings the following news
 Hong Kong advices of December 24 state that Chung How, who occupies the chief po- sition of influence in China, is about inaugur- ating the old principles of Chinese exclusive ness throughout the empire, and of making all foreigners as amenable to Chinese laws as native subjects.
 Owing to strong intersections from foreign private sources, and especially, it is believed, from the Anti-Opium Society of England, the barbarous sentences of mutilation passed upon the surviving relations of Yakub, ex-ruler of Kashgaz, have been commuted to life impris- onment.
 Yokohama advices to January state that public attention is entirely absorbed by the disastrous confagration in Tokio on Decem- Der 26. This is the third similar overwhelm- ing calamity in seven years-the first in 1872 and the second in 1876. Now miles of ground are laid waste. Almost fifteen thousand homes have been destroyed, and fifty thousand persons rendered destitute. The actual pe- cuniary loss is still undetermined, but it is not so great as it would be in western coun- tries, owing to the cheap construction of most of the houses. The loss of life is put down at about one hundred The number, however, is uncertain, many persons in the rapid progress of the flames having been overtaken and destroyed. In several instances unrecognizable bodies and frag- ments thereof were found among the ruins, and many died from exposure to the cold, the night succeeding the fire being excep-

FitZ John POrter-Ihe Revised BiII for 1 His Restoration and Reimbursement. l WASHINGTON, Jan. 20--The House Militia l ry Committee finally agreed this morning up- on Representative Bragg's bill restoring Fitz | John Porter after materially amending it from the shape in which it was left at their meet ing on Saturday. Section two of the original biil which had been stricken out after some discussion, was agaln restored this morning.
 It reads that Major General Fitz John Porter is hereby declared restored to the service of the United States, with all the rank rights, titles and privileges to which he would have been entitled if there had been no court mar tial, and in conformity to the recommenda- tion of the Board of Officers convened by special order No. 78, section 5 of the original bill was again amended, and the following substitute was agreed upon and incorporated in the bill
 ''That the amount due and payable to the said Porter, as arrears under the provisions of this act shall be determined by estimating the pay and allowances of Major General on the retired list of the army from January 18th, 1863, (date of last payment), to August 31, 1866, both dates inclusive and the pay and allowances of a colonel on the retired list of the army entitled to credit for twenty years service from September 1st, 1866, to the date of the passage of this act, and the entire sum or sums so estimated and determined shall be paid to the said Porter by the Secretary of the Treasury immediately upon the passage of this act; the sum required for the purpose being hereby appropriated from any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated"
 It is roughly estimated that this allowance for arrears of pay will amount to between $50,O00 and $60, 900, and is in lieu of the $75, 900 at first proposed. Exhaustive re- ports, the majority prepared by Representa- tive Sparks and the minority by General An son G. McCook, were read, and both will be presented to the House to accompany the bill.
