FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec s 1879

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec. 5, 1885.
Private intelligence here to-day from
Richmond has tended to revive the spirits
of Mr.. Barhour's friends, who are therefore,
by no means rs anxious as they were yes
terday. The intelligence referred to is to
the effect that of the ninety nine democrats
in the Virginia Legislature forty have de-
clared for Daniel and thirty-eight for Bar
bour, and that twenty.one are either unde-
cided or are supporters of Judge Staples,
Captain Mckinney or Mr.. Tucker. It ia
from these twenty. one that Mr.. Barbour's
friends hope and believe will come the
twelve votes required to nominate him.
A consultation was held By most of the
democratie, members of the House from
Virginia yesterday evening with regard to
the advisability of uniting upon Col. Nat,
Tyler for do0rkeeper of the House. and of
asking the House to give him the place in
recognition of the invaluable services of his
State last fall in perpetuating a solid South;
but, as anticipated in this correspondence,
they agreed not to unite, but to scatter, and
let each man vote for whomsoever he may
please. Virginians usually are not endowed
with the required amount of homogeneity to
enable them to profit by the opportunities for
obtaining federal Offices.
Among the strangers in the city today
is Lt.-Gov. Lewis, of Virginia. Mr.. Lewis,

General Logan for the presidency of the

Gov. ZULICK, of Arizona, says that SNUG
CLING is carried on without let or hindrance
between Arizona and the State of Sonora,
10 Mexico. There is some let and hindrance
to smuggling between Mexico and Texas,
and between Canada and the United States,
but great deal is carried on neverthe-
less. Free trade between the countries
named would stop all this, and, by affording
an enlarged market to the products of this
country, increase the employment of labor
aud enhance the wages thereof.

can be no surer Indication of an improve

than slow and steady advance in the price
Of iron. Just such an advance has been in

it will continue And yet the South-haters

THE STRUGGLE,

The elections still continue in Eng
land and Ireland From all returns
now i'll and carefully estimating the few
remaining counties yet to vote, the com
bined Conservative and Parnellite vote
over that of the Liberal party in the
next parliament viii certainly reach
three and perhaps seven majority. This
is not large, but it is enough for all in
tents and purposes. The English press
IN its alarm now appeals to the English
parties to unite and crush the Irish Ma
tional party. Such q coalition is pos
sible, not probable. Greed for Office, il
for no other reason, would prevent the
accomplishment of such union. Great
enthusiasm has manifested itself all
over Ireland during the past week. A
cablegram from Dublin describes an
evenings celebration as follows. Had
it been possible for a person to stand at
midnight on the summit of the earn
Tual of the Kerry Mountains, where
he could overlook the whole OF ireland

An honest Eng shman named Charles
George Walpoie, N. A.. in his Short
History of the Kingdom of Ireland. 2
has the following to say in reference to
the Irish Parliament abolished in 1900.
It was the Parliament Of the English
colony in Ireland. 1t was never in any
sense representative of the Nation. It
was the corrupt embodiment of DOM
inant race 1t sold the birthright Of
the Nation for It's own selfish ends.
There had not even been dissolution
to test the opinion Of the constituencies,
the proposal to consult the people upon
q question SO vital to their interests
having been condemned by Pitt as rank
Jacobinism. The most remarkable
and creditabie thing about the whole
transaction was that so many as 1N
members Of the Lower House were
found whose integrity the Governments
was unable to corrupt, and whose hon
or it was powerless to purchase. =

SENTENCED RELEASED.
Edward Kelly the Irish Patriot, Re-
membered. @

4 Il 4 " &
In the course of his speech at Carll's
Opera House, short time since, John
Boyle O'Reilly mentioned the fact that
he had been asked to speak at the grave
of Edward Kelly. WHO is Edward
Kelly?" the speaker asked. And then
he told of the sad fate Of the noble, sim
ple-hearted boy.
To-day Internal Revenue Collector
Troup, who sat on the stage from which
Mr.. O'Reilly spoke, said: 'It's a most
singular coincidence that MI. O'Reilly
should introduce kelly's name as he did
workers for the cause of Ireland I can
safely say | knew Kelly the best. He
was born in Kinsale, ireland, and when
tuite young came with his parents to
Halifax, Nova Scotia Young Kelly
and [ went to the Royal Acadian school
there from 1s49 to about 1855 graduating
together and in the same year going to
Boston together. We both entered the
same printing Office, set type together
and became members of Typographical
Union, No. 10, of Boston.
About 1863, Kelly who was possessed
of an intense love for Ireland, began to
organize and drill Fenian circles in Bos-
ton. He was great student, and es-
pecially delighted in military studies.
He in time became very proficient as q
drill master, and while few not directly
interested knew what was going on, it
was fact that for about two years
Kelly had been hard at work drilling
young Irishmen whom he expected to
take with him to Ireland to take part
in the uprising of the downtrodden OF
that nation.
Well, 1866 Kelly went to Ireland and
actually led the revolt in Kerry. Every
one knows how unfortunate things
turned out Kelly was captured and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn and
quartered, but was finally let off with
sentence of imprisonment for life, and
with John Boyle O'Reiliy and so more
was hurried off to Australia. Suisse
quently, Kelly was released, broken
down in health and completely used up.
He returned to Boston, and for a long
time worked as proof but was too
far gone to last long, and finally death
came to his relief.
"That's the sad story If Edward
Kelly briefly told. and repeat that it
struck ne as singular, to say the least,
that Mr.. O'Reilly should refer to it in
the presence of one who knew so much
Of the early history of the young
martyr. OF course, Mr.. O'Reilly
|, had ne asas that / ever went to school
with Kelly. | had almost forgotten
about it myself. until MI. O'Reilly's
remarks sent my thoughts back to 80
years ago. New Haven Union.
