V eraling Star and Catholic Messenger. RA 0rl.uAn. uvAN., MAY ts, 1rs8. LNIT FRONI LOUZVIIVIL, KY. LourvrrM.LU, Mby 16, 1878. lisr Memsing Star Baving been painfully observant of the ab sense of advice. from the Metropolis of this old Commonwealth in the columns of your esti mable journal, I have taken upon myself the privilege of attempting to supply the "misemin link." The progrees of Catholloity in this section, whilst not eharacterisad by that degree of suoo oes notable in other and more favored comr munities, has been steadily assuming a char sater indicative of future influence, as is evi doened in the gradual increase in the number chehurobes manifeet here. iE-r are at present eighteen churches (and al In course of construcotion), a number of paroebial schools comparatively well attended, and a corps of able and zealous clergy, ever mindful of the proper discharge of their sacred duties; in point of fact, this diooese has been noted for its distinguished olergy. Many of the most distinguished Archbishops and Bishops of the country were at one time sonanoted with the diocese, among whom may be classed (if I am rightly informed) TH ZDMINUNT AND MOST WORTHY ARCHBISHOP OF NUW ORLANLS. SThe eooiety of _8. Vincent de Paul has many devoted adherents here, as also have various Benevolent and Total Abstinence So cieties, all prospering apparently, notwith standing the stringency of the times. Perhaps the topic of general interest at this juneture is the approaching August election. A large number of self sacrifloing patriots have signified their willieguese to sooept any offie " within the gift of the people," and de vote their time and energies to the public service. If there is anything that suggests especially the degeneracy of the time, it is this mania for office, this inordinate desire to obtain a position obviating the necessity of working, that characterizes the present age, and points it out prominensutly as the ageof cffioe.seeking. For each offloe there is an impatient horde, canvassisg, wire-pulling, and capable of doing almost anything that would farther their in terests, in order that their efforts may prove sueessful. They in turn have their elec tioneers, to whom is commissioned the task of bribing and corrupting the " intelligent voter." at times rendering that great gift to freemen, the ballot, a mere farce. Of all classes of men that inhabit the coun try, the "election bummer ' is perhaps the most despicable; his presence in a community is unfortunate, as it tends to promote a spirit of idleness, and causes the "busy hum" of trade, of mechanics, in fact of all honorable indus try, to be hushed, and gives in its stead drunk enness, poverty and misery of every kind. Oar State Legislature, during its late (and protracted) session, passed many bills, amongst which was the "concealed weapon" bill; which makes the carrylng of concealed weapons a misdemeanor, and punishable by incarceration for a certain period. Persons desirous of earrying arms are abliged to carry them pub -Iuly exposed. It is argued that this will materially reduce the number of'shootiog "affairs" that have recently canused an unen viable notoriety to be attributed to the credit of the State. Indeed, not long sinooe we passed a period that would be rightly termed the ' carnival of the pistol," the number of mur ders and shooting engagements was so large, and anything that would tend to reduce crime in this commonwealth would be hailed with pleasure by its law-abiding citizens. K K. O'DONNELL, M. P., FOR DUNGOAR FEN, IN. SCOTLAND. A VFRY STRONG SPEECH. On the last Monday of April, Mr. O'Donnell, the distinguished representative of Dungar ven, Iselaud, in Parliament, addressed an im monse meeting in the City Hall, Glasgow, oScotland. His account of the scenes in Par liament on the ocosasion of the debate about Lord Leitrim, when the House was cleared and Gladstone and L-rd Hartington were grossly insulted, will be found fresh and inter esting. The suojeot of the Leitrim murder is one that even now divides the attention of the people of Great Britain and Ireland equally with the threatened Russian war. It marks an episode in the history of landlord oppree sion in Ireland, and everything in connection with it is of great interest to Irishmen the world over. The Dublin Nation gives this aso count of Mr. O'Donnell's speech : You know the storm of obloquy that has been poured upon the heads of the three mem. bEs of Parliament-Mr. Parnell, Mr. O'Connor Power, and myself-wbo stood up in the House of Commons and stated the truth in opposition to the libels of the professional and volunteer i~beller. of Ireland. It has been said that our unveiling of the truth was unnecessary. I would ast this meeting if this is the case ? On the 2od of this month Ireland and Great Bri tdain were startled by a terrible tragedy-the murder of a peer and hie two attendants (the latter utterly inoffensive and linocent men) in Done l. That in itself was a terrible thing -ind , the taking of a single human life is always terrible; the taking of three human lives is still more deplorable and awful. But the question as presented to the country by the enemies of Ireland wea-Did that murder in Donegal afford any reason, or shadow of a reason, for the wholesale calumniation of the Irish tenantry-of the Irish race ? (No.) Why, the news of the inquest had not reached Lon don before nearly all the journals of London, and a large number of the journals throughout the British provinces-to their shame be it said-had already found out who were the criminals-had already discovered what were the motives that prompted the crime, ex amined the whole case by the light of their imaginations, and, on the strength of that re markable testimony, had brought in the Irish nation guilty of a base and culpable and bar barous assassination. While this journalistic conspiracy was going on against the reputa tion of Ireland, were the actual leaders of tho landlord party-the men who from year to year oppose improvements on tenant rights in Ire land-were they idle I (No.) The murder was committed on the second of the month, and within a week in the Bones of Lords the heads of the landlord faction--Lord. Sramorer and whole beep of those pearls of the peerag had given notloe of their intention to move for papere sad returns, and so forth, regarding I the late horrible outrge In Donegal, and the increase of murders and orlme among the Irish people. Did those men observe the silenoe due to the mordered dead I Did they observe that silenes due to an undiscovered orime, to the investigations of Justice, to the nationality that might be ezpected to live even in the breasts of tbose degreded Irishmen I The work of slander went on merrily in the press and in Parliament. What did the responsible Gov e-nment do-this British Government of Ire land, to whom we are told to look for equal jnstioe f Before it was known-it is not known yet-what were the motives that prompted that terrible orime, a meeting of my Lords Joe tioee, and others, was held at Dublin Castle a meeting of the Privy Council, which habee power by the mere breath of its mouth to take away the liberties of the people of any district in Ireland-that Privy Council forsooth pro claimed the entire distriot in which this terri ble crime oocurred, and thereby stamped upon a!1 the innocent inhabitants of that district the brand of a murderous conspiracy (blasses.) Imagine the most horrible outrage that oas be imagined occurring is Glasgow, what would you say to any Government in London if, with out further knowledge of the fates, without waiting the result of a trial, without waiting the result of a single magisterial process even the preliminary proceedinge are not con. luaded-what would be said if all Glasgow was laid under prohibition, and the police empow ered to search for arms in the houses of the inhabitants-to deprive of arms all the ionhab itants, forsooth, becausean undiscovered crime had been committed within the limits of Glas gow-and that therefore all the people of Glasgow should be suspeoted of having some hand in that murder fThe supposition is purely monstrous, and I ask under what pre. tence are the virtuous, upright, and maaly Irish pleasants to be found guilty without trial, to be condemned without proof, to be defamed In this infamous manner Anything of the kind would be not only imposeible but incon ceivable in Boutland. Wales, or England (cheers) SuchBb was the poeition of affairs on the 12th of April-the entire anti-Irish press at their work of defamation, the landlord party at the same work,' and having their detama tory motions on the books of the House of Lords, the Government backing up the de famers of Irishmen to do all in their power to convert suspioion into certainty, and to try and condemn an innocent people (oheers.) I confess, nevertheless, I should not have brought forward my motion in the House of Commons relating to the assassination cf Lord Leitrim and the manner in which the people of Donegal had been treated, as not I, but some older member of the Irish party ought to have done so. Not I, and not any single member of the Irish party, but the entire Irish party as one man should have arisen and flung back the lie in the teeth of Ireland's defamers, come what might; let the Government bench es howl and the Government press shriek itself into fury (cheers.) Mr. Parnell, Mr. O'Connor Power sad I consulted over the matter, and we came to the deliberate conclusion that it was necessary at all personal cost to lift if it was but a corner of the veil that hangs over the realities of landlordism in Ireland. Well, I bronught on my motion-"That the conduot of the Government with regard to this crime was unconstitntional"-of course it was: did they not assume already as proved what was still an undisaovered crime under investiga tion T-"that it was calculated to hinder ratner than roromote the ends of justice"-of course it was, for is there anything more likely to force the public opinion of a country against the law than to see the law strained in order to de fame a country f-"that the action of the Government was oaloclated to foster disbelief in the impartiality of the law"-who can doubt that 1 It cannot be imagined for a moment if that murdered man had not been an Irish landlord, and an Irish landlord of most evil re pte, I may add, that any soouh meeting of Privy Council would have been held in Dublin, or any such motions been put on the books of the House of Lords, or that the whole Govern ment party would have assumed ouch an attI tude of unprovoked hostility to the tenant classes of Ireland. It was necessary to point ont the unoonstitutionality of the Government's action, and the first ground to which I had to go was to take up the Government argument, and to examine and challenge it. You assume that this crime is the result of a murderous conspiracy of a whole district against an up right landlord. Is that true f (No.) I told them it was not true ("Right.' and cheers). But, at the same time, so caref lly did I avoid prejudglug the case that I put my preliminary objections in the form of a guarded supposi tion, and asked the House to consider ifa cer tain state of things had existed in England, and in an English county, would they have come to the same conclusion as in the Donegal case, or have dared to apply to an English county those prohibitory mesaures, those Inso lent suspicions, whioh they showered upon the people of Donegal 1 Was it true, I asked, that Lord Leitrim was a just and upright land lord, whose death could be traced to nothing but a murderous and unprovoked conspiracy? Was it true or not true that the life of Lord Leitrim was snoh a life that he might have ronsed'pasaionate hatred for more reasons than one ? Or was it not true that, besides agrarian conspiracy, there might be personal vengeance, family vengeance, outrage of common humani ty, at the bottom of this crime ! I said to the Government-"You say, by all your acts, that Lord Leitrim was murdered by the tenantry of Donegal. You pretend to know all about it without a single proof. You assume that Lord Leitrim aoted as a somewhat severe but as a righteous and j set land'o'd should have rstsd. Why, the infamies of that life which ended so terribly are the common property of public a opinion in Ireland. You cannot take up any of the journals without finding allusions to the I well-known stains upon that life of upright I landlordism" (laughter and cheers.) Thcae a journals described that upsight landlord as one I who used the terrible powers of eviction to punish even the baulking of his basest passion, and, forsooth, when that was public property and publio Information in Ireland, was I, an Irish representative, to be forbidden the op portunity of laying therse things before that impartial Imperial legislature that is open to all complaints and rseady to listen to all opin. I ions (Laughter) My lords in the House of Lords oonld speak, and liaten to speaking, I about that blameless and upright life, about his murderous tenants, sb3ut that degraded I Irish nation. There was nothing eontrary to t publio decency in that, there was nothing con- t trary to publ!c justice, there was nothing oon trary to publio fairness; but for an Irish member to come forward and say, "Before 1 forming our opinions we must at least take into consideration this fact, that there are a other ciruoomstances than agrarian crime which ought to be taken into considera tion," the virtuoous members of our im maculate aristocracy- (laughter)--louohed wildly at their bosoms for their vinsigrettes and smelling-bottles - (great laughter) - and, in a Bofinal paroxysm of feminine hysterioe, set themselves to cry out for the exolnsion of 1 the public press (oheers). How the Czur of Ruseia must chuckle at the love of publicity i whioh the liberal British Government can dis play on occslon hobeers). Having referred to the insult in the lobbies to Mr. Gladstone, the speaker continued:--Having thus breathed themselves in the lobbies, they returned to listen to the case of the tenantry of Donegal, 1 and from that bour to the very end, the GJv- t ernment giving the coe, the Government party and the Government senpporters deliberate!y I asmumned that I and Charles Parnell and O'Co:l nor Power were defending assassination (" to, no'). We told them again and again that what we were defenoding wes the constito tional right of the population of the Donegal distriot, as much as the Middlesex distriot, or any 6oottish distriot, not to be o-ndemned until they were found guilty. What we were ' defending was the oonstitutional right of the I Irish peasants and Irish people not to be I branded by the Government with the Infamous r brand of murderous conspiraey. What we a were defending was the right of men not I proved guilty to be held at least preeumptive.s I linnooont. What we were oondemning was the attempt of the Government to prejodge a the whole offence, to find guilty without proof, to visit upon a distriot, upon a olse, upon the I entire tenantry of Ireland the aosemnlated spite and venom with which the landlord dlam regard that small instalment of justioe oon talned in the Gladstone Land Act (obeers). I may sometimes have expressed opinions not Sperfetly fattering to the intolligenoa of the least highly-gifted member of.Parliament, bus I will not do the intelligence of the least Shighly-gifted member of Parliament the Injou tioe of supposing that he for one single in stant misunderstood our real position, or that he was under any misconception when he so ouased us of favoring assassination, while all we were doing was demanding justiee for an innooent peasantry. Bat the game went on, and member after member rose-some on the Government side, some supports, still more outspoken, on that side whieh is not usually oonsidered the Government side-(laugbhter) and the borden of the debate was, "Shame on you three Irish members because you are favoring assasination" (bisser) And not a man who said that believed what he was say ing. (Cries of "Not one.") They said it purely as one of those ornaments of debate which mem bers of the British Parliamen• permit them stlves in referring to Ireland, but which they dare not permit themselves in referring to Eng. land. Well, when I sat down, Mr. Parnell rose, and in one of the most calm, care.!l and well prepared orations that even be ever delivered with proofs and with quotations and excerpts of every- kind-reviewed the oourse which the Government was always taking towards the Irish tenantry, and olearly and distinotly proved that the present game of oalumnlation was only another ohapter in the old game of oalumniation with whiobh Government after Government have sought to meet the just claims of the Irish people. But the one stook answer was still : ' You are favoring assassi nation." They dare not advanoe a proof, they dare not suggest even a reason, why the people of Donegal should be soepeoted of murderous conspiracy. They simply got up the parrot cry of "You are favoring assassination." They had their way; they bowled and they booted, and they interrupted and they insulted, and this member arose, and that member arose, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer came for ward and expressed his reprobation of our condoot (laughter). And, finally, when they had exhausted themselves, the debate ended, and the baffled majority discovered on going out of the House of Commons that they had not been able to keep the truth inside the House of Commons (laughter and cheer.). Mr. O'Donnell then dealt with the land question, and conoluded by saying-Abesenteism wi a one of the first courses of the Irish Parliamen tary situation. He was not a despot, however -through not being an upright landlord, he supposed (laughter)-and he would allow the less sative members to be less active in one con dition-that they should not come forward to degrade the common cause and insult the com moo banner and defame the common nation ality by foul dissensions in the face of the en emy (loud and continued hobeering.) We hear a great deal sometimes of the equality of laws between Ireland and England. and the mutual good feeling growing up be tween the two races is spoken of in a comfort able kind of way by those of our own coon trymen who, though born in Ireland, have never felt what it is to be Irish. In this coun try there are a good many people who, from time to time, have felt that ' the ecrse of Swift" -lies heavy on them, and, for the benefit of those optimists who believe in the possibili ty of a race-friendship between the two na tiors, I will instance a sample of how the thing works in practice. There are about 20,000 shipyard laborers in England, who, almost to a man, are Irish. Their work mainly consists in helping skilled workmen, called platers, 90 per cent of whom are English, and all members of a powerful trades union. A few years since both classes of men were paid time wages, the ratio being about 32s to 18e per week for skilled and unskilled labor. Piecework has now been introduced, end the plater earns three times his former wages-of course, by working three times as bard. The helper, however (who, under the sub-contract system, is paid by the plater).only receives 17s per week, although his labor, in the same way, toes increased three-fo!d, and the difference in skill between the workmen is really very slight. In some yards the masters, seeing the injustice done to the laborer, insisted on his receiving piece wag-e, and he then earned 8s where he had preniotnly earned 51. This, however, was too n.uoh for the platers, and their union stepped in and put an end to this equitable mode of payment, without alleging a shadow of reason ; the real one being too disgraceful to mention-the wish to pooket for themselves the result of other men's sweat. Scarcely any union exists among the laborers, who are therefore not in a position to struggle against their tashmasters (their fellow-work men); but their grievances have been exposed in a series of masterly papers by Mr. James Lynch, of South Shields, who has again and again invited the unionists to appoint arbitra tors to decide the matter. This was oontempt oously refused, on the ground that the suffer ere wore persons who merely belonged to the ' sister island," but Mr. Lynch, nevertheless, has not given up the struggle, and he deserves all the help and sustainment which Irishmen on Tyneside can give him. Politically as well as socially, a league of 20,000 Irishmen might weild great influence, and I trust Mr. Lynch, in the end, will sunoceed in obtaining justice for them by giving to the mass that oohesion and union so necessary to the improvement oj their position.-London Correspondesce Nation. MARSH LANDS OF MII8888IPPI AND LOUISIANA. Home Journal. The action of the last Legislature of Louisiant, in chartering a company to drain certain marshes, and the recent recon noisance and favorable report of the engi neers, have drawn attention to tbhis clasof lands. I have long been impressed with their value and susceptibility of reclama tion. A number of years ago from the Pearl river marches, on land now owned by Dr. Copes, of youear city, and Col. Arich, of Bossier parish, I sent specimens of marsh soil to the commissioner of Agriculture, who submitted them to Profeasor Jackson, of Boston. He made a minute and exhaus tive analysis, which appeared in the ensu ing report from the Agricultural Bureaua. I obtained an analysis likewise from Prof. Forshey and the late Prof. Riddell, of the University of Louiseians. These eminent authorities found in the specimens exam ined all the elements of fertility ; indeed every constituent of production was pres ent, not only to make the marshes a desir able soil for cultivation, but an admirable fertilizer for other soils. It consists of a black loam, often six feet deep, on which the neatural grass and reeds grow in great lauxriance from five to eight feet hiLbh, from year to-ear. Is places they are con ered with wild pea vine, wild potato vines, dewbherry and b!ackberry bushes, and a countless variety of fliwers. Occasionally there are shrnbs and bueshes, but no timber. Most of these marshes are firm enough for pastarsge, particularly for cattle and hogs. The latter keep fat on the gram and other roots and bulbs, and on the innumerable shell fish-crabs, fiddlers and musoels found there. Cattle find in the high old grass a warm shelter from the winter wind, and a green bite about every tussock ; and the yonng grass, protected by the old, springs up even during the winter. Hence marsh cattle and hogs are always in good condition, and are in marketable order when upland stock is poor. About the Ist of March the old grass of the preceding year becomes dry and hard and miy be readily burned, leaving on the surface a deposit of carbon and ashes. On this the young grams in a few days springs up, and these vast plains become one emerald of verdare, and so continue until the enasing winter. Cattle become very fat, and the butter and cheese made from this pasturage cannot be excelled. A coarse, rough hay is made from marsh gramss, which oxen will eat when hungry. It is better adapted, however, for bedding for stock, in barn yards, hog pens and stables and will greatly increase and add to the value of home-made manures. Repea'ed and constant cuttings, however, greatly improve the marsh grass, and in the course of a year or two an excellent and succun lent hay can be obtained from it. In Dem erara and other places in that quarter, there are lands precisely like our marshes, in cultivation, which, under a system of canaling, ditching, flood gates and em banking, produce extraordinary crops of sugar, rice and tobacco. This system of culture involves no more expense than the clearing of a tract of heavy timbered lan-d, and you avoid the expense of fencing, be cause your canals and ditches constitute your fences. The dirt from the ditch, banked along it, constitutes your fence, and soon becomes solid and firm. Excellent walls and even houses may be constructed of the turf cut in oblong squares, and very good fuel may be likewise thus obtained. An ordinary band will ditch two rods a day, but an Irish expert will accomplish much more. In three weeks after the tide and rain-water are drawn away, these marshes may be plowed. Ditching and draining should be com menced in the fall, so as to plant cotton and rice by the first of March. Two crops of rice may be made, and as the marshes are all within the influence of the sea, it is presumed that, unless under a very unu sual temperature, cotton would continue to blow and mature a month later than on the uplands. The tide usually ebbs or flows once in twenty-four hours, usually from one to three feet, according to the direction and volume of the wind. The marsh lands, in their natural state, are seldom overflowed, except daring a gale or long protracted blows. Most of the marshes are intersected by bayous or natural canals, that greatly fa cilitate drainage and serve for water fences, These abound in fish and crabs. A plantation once made in the marash is made forever. The soil is inexhaustible, being composed mostly of phosphates. Used as a fertilizer on pine lands, the marsh mud has been thoroughly tested on sea-island cotton, Irish potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, etc. For its specific action on cotton I refer to Henry Saucier, Sr. Esq., of Bay St. Louis, who has tested it thoroughly. And for its adaptability for vegetables reference is made to Capt. John J. Saucier, Waveland, New Orleans and Mobile R. R., whose find garden will speak for itself. This intelligent gentleman cul tivates ordinary pine land, fertilized exclu sively with marsh mud. In regard to health, people usually as sociate malarial diseases with marshes. I leave the why and wherefore of this to medical men, who are alone competent to elucidate such phenomena. But having lived on and adjacent to the marshes of the Mississippi sea board for many years, my experience is that there is no healthier lo cality anywhere. Malarial fevers and chills and fevers are not known. Since the Bon net Carre crevasse, a flood of Mississippi river water, passing into lake Pontchar train, and along our coast, has brought some chills and fever. Previous to this, I rarely ever saw a case, and never had one on either of my plantations, both of which are enveloped by salt marsh, and in 25 years I have not had to call in a physician. Oar upland pine woods are very healthy, but not, so much so as the marshes. Very truly yours, J. F. H. CLAIBORNE. Talleyrand was lame, Madame de Stael was cross-eyed. There was no love lost between them, and both disliked to be remined of their infirmities. "Monsieur,"said Madame, meeting her dearest foe one day, " how is that poor leg t" -" Crooked, as you see," was Talleyrand's reply.
