tations.

THE following was adopted at the
socialist meeting in New York city,
Thursday night: All people have a holy
right to protect their liberties by any
means; and, whereas now war has
broken out between the most noble ele-
ments of Russian society and despotism;
and, whereas under the government of
Alexander more blood was shed and
more misery brought upon the subjects
than under all former cars; therefore,
be 1t resolved, that although we con-
denim assassination as impracticable,
nevertheless we consider that under a
government Of such fearful tyrany as
the Russian empire, it is the only means
that could be used; and, therefore, we
consider the deed Of the Russian people
not to be assassination but execution,
and we see in this act a terrible lesson
TO all tyrants.

BLAINE on AMERICAN HOGS.

The minister of the United States at
the Court of st. James and the French
capital, have been instructed to lay before
their respective governments to which
they are accredited, the sense of this
government of the injustice which is
shown toward American citizens and
the food products Of this country by
the attitude which is being assumed in
Europe on this question. Positive in
structions have been sent Lowell, at
London to meet Crump's statements
and expose their erroneousness. Noyes,
at Paris, has been telegraphed In the
following terms, directing him to lay
the facts before the French govern
ment:
Washington, March 16.-To Noyes,
Minister at Paris: Your course respect
ing the pork decree of the French
government is approved. The state
ments of Crump, acting British consul
at Philadelphia, occasioned excitement
and wide spread comment here, lead
ing to correspondence with the British
legation and boards of trade. The hog
cholera is COMPOUNDED with trichinosis,
which is an entirely distinct disease !;
but the representations regarding hog
cholera are very greatly exaggerated.
The most searching Investigation fails
to show any basis for the published
statements. The mortality among very
young swine from cholera has been less
this year than for several years past, and
the condition of full grown hogs, which
alone are used for packing and export,
is this year exceptionally good. The
British representative at Philadelphia,
apparently has been misled by designing
spectators, to the great injury Of legit-
innate trade. Deny in the strongest
terms the report Of the British consul,
should the French ministers appeal to
it as justifying them in interdicting or
restricting the American pork trade.
Instructions follow. BLAINE.

THE SITUATION IN IRELAND.

The Irish World, of March II, has a
special cable dispatch from Dublin, con-
tanning the following points Thirty
land league chiefs are now in prison.
Sheridan, the organizer, was arrested
on Wednesday, at Tubbercurry. His
wife is on her death bed. Landlord
ism is now rampant; landlords are serv-
ing some of the prisoners with writs, for
back rents, in Jail. Land meetings were
held last Sunday in fifteen counties,
which were attended by great multi
tudes; immense enthusiasm was mani
tested; brave speeches were made;
strong, radical and ringing resolutions
were adopted. The people are most
determined, and will fight the good fight
to the last. Four hundred tenants un-
der landlord Palmer, of Mayo. have
struck against rent on account of the
arrests going on. Eviction notices are
falling in showers over Ireland; twelve
hundred writs of ejectment were served
last week. The land league counsels
the people to resist to the last; the con-
sequence, IN all likelihood, of this gen.
eral resistance, will be a large number
OF lam sales for non-payment of rent.
What the landlords will gain by such a
result, remains to be seen. There is a
general feeling with regard to eject
ments throughout the land league, that
the people should allow evictions to
take place, and that the land league
should then Immediately provide houses
on the evicted farms.

A WILD-CAT

A telegram from New York gives the
following: The people of the United
States will soon have an opportunity to
invest large sums of money on the wild
cat speculation now occupying the at
tention of the English public. This is
a project for making coffee out of dates.
A company has been formed in London,
called the Date Coffee company, which
proposes to- revolutionize the coffee
trade of the world. 1t has issued a
flaming prospectus, and has expended
large sums Of money in advertising, and
has actually succeeded in selling its
shares in the market at $l60 each, their
par value being only $25, and all this
before the company has made a dollar
of legitimate profit or had fairly begun
operations. The o~riginators Of this bold
scheme have succeeded so well in Eng
land that they have already turned their
attention to America, and they are
publishing in London glowing accounts
of their prospects here. They estimate
their profits in this country to begin
with al s25, 900. 900. They have al
ready opened correspondence with some
of the brokers in this city, and an agent
is soon expected here to begin opera
ations. The first movement will be, it
is said, to close a contract with an ad-
vertising firm, by which $4,000, if
necessary, will be spent in advertising
the project, after which the projectors
anticipate no difficulty in relieving
the American public of a few million
dollars, while the scheme, from its incep-
tion TO its present wonderful success in
London, reads so much like a chapter of
the South Sea Bubble, or"John Laws
exploits in Paris" that persons on this
side of the water almost doubt the
truth of what they read in the London
press in regard to it. There is no
doubt, however, that even in this day of
enlightment such a project can be sue
cessfully carried out in London, when
it would fail here.

TIE Fund for the Benefit of Ex-Pres-
dents OF the United States.

In November last an appeal was made
for an informal subscription to provide a
perpetual fund, whose annual income
should be enjoyed during life and while
not holding any federal office, by the
oldest ex-president of the United States.
The desired amount of the fund was
stated at s250,0O0 and its probable
yearly income at So, 500. The task of
raising the fund was undertaken in
person by George Jones, and the record
of his completed work is contained in
the following report: &.
81 have the pleasure to announce, that
of the entire amount Of $3.50, 900,
which has been subscribed, S216. 900
has been paid in. The outstanding
subscriptions are mainly those of a few
subscribers for large amounts, who are
at preset out of the country, and have
not had time to answer my request for
payment. The amount already received
has been invested by the committee Of
subscribers, consisting Of E. ID. Nor
gan, Oliver Hoyt and George Jones,
and will yield an annual income of $12,-
600; should the remainder be invested
to equal advantage, the fund will yield
over $4,000 a year. A great majority
of the subscribers deem it not advis-
able to make public the names of those
who have contributed to the fund, and
about $50, 900 has been subscribed on
distinct understanding that the names
of donors shall be kept secret. / may
say however, that an analysis of the
list in my possession, shows the follow
ing distribution of the amounts. Two
subscribers of $3.50 600 each, three OF
S10,0 600 each, eighteen of $1,000 each.
When it becomes necessary to provide
for an ultimate disposition of the fund
a meeting of the subscribers will be
called" (Signed,) GEORGE JONES,
Treasurer.

Europe Again scared Over Its Re.
ported temperance.

From the New York Times.
The scare about the plague has again
appeared in Europe where 1t will doubt
less cause much concern, particularly
in those countries which have many
dealings with Armenia and Mesopota-
mia. Undoubtedly, the plague ought
not to be treated with unconcern or de-
%rision, and it has frequently shown its
ability to travel over the greater part
of the old world, from its pestilential
hot-beds in the valleys of the Tigris and
E%uphrates. 1t is as well, however, to
remember that certain parts of Mesopo-
tamia are eve entirely free from the
plague. In the cold weather it exists
languidly and ftfully, but ween the hot
season sets in it RACES more or less in
every town, from Mosul to Bagdad down
to the Persian Gulf.
The cause of the scourge is now toler
ably well known. The Tigris and the
Euphrates, at the period when the
SHOWS at their source begin to melt,
cannot have their waters carried off
into the Persian Gulf by the Shatel-
Arab, and accordingly they flood the
low-lying countries around for distan-
ces of fifty and ever 100 miles from
their banks. When the hot weather
sets in, the overflow is speedily dried up
but the whole Of the previously sub
merged country becomes a swamp of
m%iasmatic, p%estilential vapors. The
earth seems to crack and breathe forth
miasma. :
Then follow fevers and the plague
among the inhabitants. Villages are
annually depopulated, but the surround

toned to the visitation that they only
