ENCOURAGEMENT FOR IRELAND.
Interesting Meeting of the Sixth Ward
Land League.

--S~~9~
The Sixth W ard Land League held a
very successful meeting yesterday after
noon. Father Gallagher presided and
kept business moving lively. Short and
stirring speeches were made by Chief
Justice Wood, P. Crowley and John G..
Donnelly. An interesting incident of the
meeting was the reading of an extract
from an Irish paper by Mr..
G. NJ. Mccarthy of the central league of
this city, referring to speech of Michael
Davitt, made before some two thousand
Orangemen, showing that the land ques-
ton is uniting Irishmen as they were
never before. The resolutions adopted
by the central league Saturday night,
published in yesterdays issue of the
GLOBE, were endorsed in addition to which
the following, presented by AID Jerry
Nc Carthy, were adopted:
RESOLVED, That we hail the approaching
unity of the Irish people, as now indicated by
| the present agitation of the land uestion in
Ireland, and the kindred agitation in the
United States, and believe that the time is moi
| far distant when all local barriers and'differ,
ences will be absorbed in the one thought
that Ireland must be united and free.
|
congress of the United States, the legislatures
of the several States thereof, and all public
commercial bodies, will speedily and strongly
declare in favor of the rights of the Irish
1 people to own, as well as to occupy, the soil
Of their native land.
Resolued, That we tender our sincere
thanks to the governor Of this commonwealth
Hon. J. 8. Pillsbury, for the promptness WIN
which he communicated the cheering news OF
the action of our State Legislature to the
friends of the cause in the old country, who
will be greatly encouraged thereby.
Some twenty-five new names were en-
rolled, making total membership OF
over one hundred. On next Sunday after
noon the league will be addressed by
Senators Adams, Crooks and Bonniwe1.
Vocal and instrumental music will also
he provided, making the meeting the
most interesting Of the league.

The Situation at Frontier Agencies.

Gen. Cook, Irdan agent at Rosebud agency,
passed through the city Saturday. He reports
the weather exceedingly unpropitious in that
part of the country. He has lost fifteen per
cent of the cattle received as four and half
months supply. owing to the severity of the
winter. The supply of cattle is not sufficient to
last until April 1st, and he will probably have
to call on the contractors for deliveries at an
earlier date. As there has not been spot of
ground seen since November 15th,. and the
snow is badly drifted besides, it will puzzle the
contractors to make their deliveries, but the
contract price is such that they will probably
have handsome profit if they have to EMPLOY
bull-whackers to carry the steers on their
shoulders one or two hundred miles.

There is a great deal of excitement over the

In an interview with Mr.. Dillon, that gen.

replied: "It has rendered it impossible for

The Scott County Treasurers.


On last Saturday at the expiration of
the time set Oy the court, when sentence
would be pronounced against both Ring
and Baumhager, they having been de-
clared guilty, at their respective trials, of
embezzlement, the defendants appeared,
and Herman Baumhager was first sem
fenced, as follows:
To be imprisoned in the county Jail for
six months and to pay fine of $l06.50.
And it should be stated here, that the
amount of the embezzlement which
Baumhager was found guilty of by the
jury, was only s5325, and therefore was
not of an amount sufficient to
make it a States prison offense.
1t should also be borne in mind that
Baumhager has not been tried upon the
two other indictments that were found
against him for similar offences by the
last grand jury And further, that he
has not been indicted for the shortage of
s1,62s.30, when he turned over to
O'Dowd, and is bound over TO appear
therefor before the next grand jury and
term of court.
Ring was then called up and sentenced
To be confined at hard labor in the
States prison for the period of two years
and six months, and to pay fine of
$21,472.
The Judge in delivering this sentence
stated that he did not feel like making
any remarks in connection Herewith, the
duty was altogether too unpleasant a
one, but he had studied well the case and
framed his sentence accordingly.
Both of these parties have taken an ap-
peal to the supreme court, and given bail
to abide its decision, Baumhager in

mex as sureties; and Ring in sl5, ,OOo, with
