THU TIPPLRART LLECTION.
The Tipperary electioo ended au we ao
ticipated. The Caseyites declared war on 4
the Home Role movement, and the consti- r
tuency has struck back by placing the
Home Rule candidate at the head of the
poll. Mr. Dwyer Gray obtained, on Moo- i
day, 858 votes, while his opponent polled
only 844. The significance of these
numbers cannot be mistaken, nor can the h
fact be overlooked that the Home Roleh
vote on' this oeeesion was greater than at a
either of the two last elections in " the •
premier county." It should be added that, a
notwithstanding the busy season of the
year, the electors thronged to the booths
tn ooprecedentedly leasge numbers, and
that, except in one or two places, where P
the friends of the defeated candidate con
ducted themselves in a turbulent manner,
the utmost quiteness marked the final stage t
of the contest
Bnt Tipperary has not only returned t
Mr. Gray to Parliament, but now seems ti
inclined to pay the expenses of his election.
Immediately after the declaration of the n
poll on Wednesday, in Clonmel, a meeting a
of leading and irf!centia! electors was a
held, at which practical steps were taken g
to this end, and before it separated a con
siderable sum of m .ney was actually sub P
scribed. Mr. Gray, who was invited to be
present at s late stage of the proceedings, °
expressed his unwillingness, under ordinary a
circumstances, to allow any portion of the a
cost of the contest to fall upon the county ;
but be admitted that the circumstances
whlobh actually occurred were quite excep.
tional, and be, asoordingly, thanked his
friends for the resolution they had taken. '
For ourselves, we hold, as we have always
held, that it would be well if the constit
encies charged themselves more frequently
than they do with the legitimate election a
expenses of their representatives-it would
be better both for themselves and for their a
representatives; and that tisle particular C
case is one in waich the popular champion 9
should be " borne harmless' as the phrase
is, we think very few will deny.
IRISH BUSINISa IN I'ARLIAMENT.
Yet another piece of British obstruction
of Irish business! On Wednesday Sir
Colman O'Logblen moved the second read- i
ing of a bill to introduce the ballot at the
election of Poor Law Guardians to Ireland.
The necessity for such a measure is evi
dent to every person acquainted with
stairs in the provinces, and it was abun- I
dantly demonstrated on this occasion by
the member for Clare, by Mr. McCarthy
Downing, and Captain Nolan. But, as t
might have been expected, Mr. Stephen
Moore, the representative of the 700 Tories n
in Tipperary, and Mr. Bruen of Carlow,
opposed the second reading, and to please
the anti-Irish landlord faction represented
by those two gentlemen, Sir M. H. Beach 1
followed suit and got the bill thrown out,
though it was evident that it was sup
ported by a majority of the Irish represen
tation. Two other Irish uneasuren-Mr.
Biggar's Franchise Extensiin Bill and Dr.
Ward's Fisheries Ball-also occupied good
places on the ord rs of the day for Wedres
day, but they .had to be astandoned bu
ceause they had not been print ed! How
they caileo niot to be piinted Is, csal"re per
sons will, perhaps, thidk, a rmatter con
cernitg whichl explanation is derir.bte.
- -q'netrly-aotable piece of -jruliamentary
news this week is the annouucemeut to
garding the arrangement alleged to have
been arrived at between the Iome Rule
party and Sir M. H. Beach, regarding- the
progress of Irish b usiness in the House of
Commoutr. The story as told-by i Liberal
organ is that the government lime practi
cally confessed itself beaten by Mr. Parnell
and Mr Biggar, and proposes ' a length
ened armistice, tf not an absolute tresty o.f
peace." The arrangement, we are told, is
to the effect that, " in consideration of the
Irish members refraining from obstructive
proceedings, such measures relating to
Ireland as are objected to by Home Rule
members will not be taken up till after the
5-h June, while the Government will en
deavor to obtain an early day alter the
Whitsuntide holidays for the discussion on
the second reading of Mr Butt's University
Bill" Whether all thIs is true, we know
not; but, assuming the accuracy of the
statement, we are not quite convinced that
the Government will t.ot have the best of
the bargain. If, indeed, there, were good
reasons for believing that tile Goverinmrnt
meant to do anything more in regaid to
Mr. Butt's bnll t au a llo,w a diacsaon t on
it, the negotiators on the Irish side would
have a good deal to say fur themselves;
but we are not aware that such a supposi
tion is we'l fotlntldd.
AliCII)DCACON REDtMONI).
f This day's Frseeman contains the follow
ing notice of the death of this amiable
and respected dignitary of the diocese of
Dublin: "A remarkable man has just pass
ed from our midst, the Very Rev. Archidea
con Redmond, P.P, of Arkiow, Vicar
Forane, and Archdeacon of Glendalough.
The lamented deceased was born near the
beginning of the present century (180i ) in
the parish of Newtownbarry, county Wex
ford. His uncle, the Rev. Aidan Redmond,
was parish priest of Arklow, and there the
nephew was educated at the Rev. Mr. Bar
rs s classical school, then in repute as an
educational, establishment. Subsequently
I he entered Maynoothl College, and was or
dained in the year 1827. He was at first
sent as curate to the perish of BIsuchards
town, diocese of Doblin, to which he had
been affiliated. After a short period he
was transferred to Arklow, under his ven
erable relative. In 1&4 his uncle died, and
Dr. Murray, the late venerated Archbishbop
of Dublin, immediately appointed the
nephew as successor. Full of energy and
eloquence, the young parish priest, who
had thrown himself with ardor into the
tithe, subsequently engaged in the land and
other popular questions of the day. The
present line Catholic church at Arklow,
which he commenoed in 1858, and rapidly
finished, will long last as an enduring mon
umentof unceasing perseverarnce and uc-1
eeusful devotion to work in hand. For
years his voice and pen were well known
to a large circle of the public.. liad he
lived till Quarter Tense, next December,
Ih;Wonld have completed half a century
lthe tsacred ministry. He was engaged
in work to the very day os his death; but
a complication of inflammation of the lungs
and bronchitis, under which he had been
I labouring for some days, proved too much
for his excellent constitution, and he sur
rended his soul to hie Maker's hands on
the morning of Tueeday, May 15,1877.

Tis eIRISHME or AUOvUTA, OA., SPAK. w
At a recent meeting of Irishmen in An- a
gusts, Ga., the following preamb:e and  
resolutions were adopted: d
WaszAas, elf-gcrvernamet with all its ti
blessings and benefits, ie the inalienable L
right of the people of Ireland, a right G
which they have never relloquisbed, bus of C
which they have been deprived by force, m
fraud and corruption eombined; rod where- at
as we, the Irishmen of Augusta, Georgia, se
sympatbising deeply with oar countrymen n
at home in their eforts to regain tbia ines
timable right, and whereas by reason of
the present condition of affairs in Europe, aI
the time is most opportune for a public ex- w
pression of our sentimeate on this impor- hi
tant subject; be it therefore
Besolved, That while we are mindful of w
the duties we owe to this Great Republic
the home of our adoption-we will never P'
cease to love the land of our birth, and to m
take an interest to everything that per L
tainus to her welfare, endeared as she is to
us by the memories of bher former glories, v
and by the blood which our forefathers p
abed in defence of her liberties. To our
gallant brethren at home we tender our t
warmest sympathy, and we trust that their
persevering stroggleesfor self government. 11
will, at no distant day, be rewarded with
complete success. In this emergency we
are ready to assist them to the best of our
ability in any possible way that may be
suggested. at
Resolved, That the "Union," after a hI
trial of seventy seven years, has utterly w
failed of attaining the object for which ce
it was ostensibly enacted, to wit: To ti
bind the people of Great Britain and b
Ireland in a closer bond of friendship a
and interest; that the Irish people were a
never more united, or mere determined in is
their demand for national autonomy; that ti
nothing less than a compliance with this o
demand will satisfactorily settle the "Irish fe
question," and that England most restore it
this right if instead of a discontented el
and disaffected Ireland she would pre'er fi
to have the friendship and alliance of a es
brave and generous people.
Resolved, That we heartily sympathize F
with those brave spirits who still languish It
in prison for daring to think that Ireland V
should be free, a crime, if crime it be, of g
which we are.all guilty alike; and that we
recommend Her Majesty's Government to
order their immediate selease as a pre- I
liminary peace offering to the people of ii
Ireland. c
Resolved, that we cordially invite our P
countrymen in every part of the world to c
publish their opinions on this question, in a
order that our position in tuis critical tl
juncture in European ffailis may be fully I
understood, and that these resolutions be b
published in the Irish and Irish-American a
newspapers. t
t
The Colonization movement among the
Irish Catholics of the North is taking prac- i
tical form and already we read of the t
transfer ,f numbers of families from the
coal niins oft Pennsylvania and the large 4
cities of the East, to settlements in North t
Carolina, Texas and Arkansas. St. Lc iis
hlas also organized a Clnization Society ,
with a capital of $25,000, and a clergyman
with two of the most respected merliants t
of that city are now in Texas prospecting a
with a view to the purchase of a large tract
of land to be resold tn small farms to those (
of their countrymen who w'ts to settle in
the country. In a recent number of the
Philadelphia Standard, we find an inter- I
esating letter from Mr. Charles Boyle, of
Western Texas, from which we make the
following extracts :
I am happy to inform you that our Cole
ny (Brehony) in Western Texas is in a
prosperous condition. Seven families nom
bering thirty-two persons having joined us I
during the last six weeks.
It is about seventeen hundred miles from
Philadelphia, Pa., to Harrisburg, Texas,
the eastern terminus of the Sun Set Route,
it requires about four days to go there by t
rail and costs about $33 00. The cost to b
f New Philadelphia seventy miles distant C
1 from Harrisburg, is about $35 00, and to t
L ulting about one hundred and seventy
miles west and near the Father Brehony t
Colony, is about $40 00. Land vartes in
price from two to twenty dollars per acre
and may generally.be bought for one third S
cash and the balance in one or two years. a
Tte climate, is neither too hot in Sum- I
mer nor so co:d in Winter, as that of Penn
sylvania. I have been informed by Mr. I
Patrick Walsb, of Luling, Texas, formerly '
c of Mexico, that both he and his working
a cattle suffered more from heat in one day I
in Missouri, than they did all last summer
r in Texas. He made forty-two bushels of I
corn per acre and six bales of cotton on
e nine acres; the first cotton he ever saw
grow. He says that any person who can
plant corn, can plant cotton. lie receives
fifty cents per bushel for his corn, and fifty
a dollars a bale for his cotton.
One man can attend to ten acres of corn
a and ei ht acres of cotton, and it is the best
y country in the world for a man with a
family. A child ten or twelve years old I
, can pick as much cotton as a man, and
. make more money in three months, than a
d boy twelve years old can in a whole year
e on the coal-breakers in Pennsylvania, be
sides the bappiness of breathing the pure I
d air, and not requiring fifty per cent, of the
p clothing, also being of infinite pleasure to
e the parents, that the minds of their dear
j children are not pointed by the foul lan
s guage and obscene practices of those in the
e city or town factory.
I Texas is no place for twenty-one year
e old babies or children in pantaloons, but
manly men and sensible women do
7 better here than anywhere else than I
Sknow of. Its cheap and rich lands, with
Sclimate where crope are continnually grow
r ing, where cattle, swine and poaltry thrive
a without any attention from the hand of
Sman.
There are thousands of acres of improved
Sland to rent, at from three to seven dollars
d per acre cash, or half the crop, the farmer
ta lornishing everything except provisions for
s the family. Practical farmers do well on
a those terms; but the man who has a few
h hundred dollars to boy his own team, farm
ing implements, and proviasions, until the
n crop is made, does better. He only gives a
third of the corn and one-fourth of the eot
ton as rent. A man with rfive handreddol
Slartbhe ther, eas buy hie owa 14a, a4d
atemeats and eonditions of different 1
families that I had the pleasure to eonverse
with, that Texas is the best eoountry in the
world for either man with or without
money; but as I said before, he must be
mas who goesh there without money.
I assore you that we have had no little e
dienalty in settling in our colony, but I had I
the extreme pleasure to hear Conaghan,
Lucid, Conners, Doran, and others, thank
God that they left the coal mines. Youni
Conagbno, who farms with bis father, told
me it was the nicest work be had ever done,
and said if he got the best job in Penn
sylvania and his fare paid htek he would
not go.
In another part of tles letter Mr. Boyle
speaks of the New Philadelphia Coleony, t
which is entirely distinct from bhis (re
bony), and which is also doing remarkably
well.
We hope that some day or other our
people will awaken to the importance of I
making efforts to attract emigrants to
Louisiana, which f ifers greater natural ad
vantages than Texas, but the apathy dis- I
played in all quarters on the subject E
makes aus fear that the work will be left to
the next generation.
TWHAT A MISSISSIPPI PAPRB 81AYB OF
THBE STAR.
(Viceaburg Herald. June 6ih)
Mr. John M. Touhey, Traveling Agent
and Correspondent of the New Orleans
MORNING STAR AND CATHOLIC MESSaNGER,
will be in the city for a few days, and we
commend him to the favorable considera
tion of our citizens. The MORNING STAR
has a number of subscribers in this com-
mounity, and is noted for its excellence as
a newspaper and the ability with which it
is edited. Although as religious publicsa
tion, teaching and inculcating the doctrines
of the Catholic faith, it has always mani
fested great interest in affairs of the State
in which citizens of all classes are inter
ested and has been an outspoken champion I
for the doctrines and policy that have re
sualted in putting into power the present
·overnments of Mississippi and Louisiana.
For tllhis reason it has had, and should
have, many readers of all denominations.
We cordially endorse the paper and its
gentlemanly agent.
THE ISRAELITES OF TIHE UNITED STATES.
The Board of Delegates of American Israel
ites appointed a committee last year to
collect information concerning the Jewish I
population of the United States, their 1
congregations, schools, and charirtale in- I
stitutions. This committee reported in
the convention that was held in Now I
York last week. Some of its estimates,
based upon returns as yet incomplete, I
are surprising, if they prove to be I
true. The entire Jewish ponulation of
the country they place at 250 000, and the I
value of all the synagogues and con
gregational property at less than $6,000,001.
They have found 341 congregations, and
the meubership of the four aRcret orders,
founded for purposes of charity iard nutu- t
al easistance, is computed at a little over I
40,000 Estimating the imen to hbe one in
five of the entire po ulation, these orders
would appear to contain four flfclhrs of all
the male adult Israelites in tire conotry.
The Jewish population of New York city
is placed at 60,000--a figure considerably
below the usual etim4 tes As to the valu- I
ation of the synagogues and congregational I
ptroperty, the many costly edifices in New i
York, Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago, and I
Cincinnati make that, appear incredible. I
And with 341 congregations, many socie
ties not so formally organised, and many I
individuals who belong to no associated i
body, a total population of only 250,000
would make the average congregation very
small indeed.
The Israelites both of America and
Europe, are unceasing in their efforts to
secure relief and protection for tthe perse
cuted children of their race in other lands,
and to educate and improve the Ilsa en
lightened and the impoverished and help
less in the ways of indo try, thrift, and
order.

TBHE LADOVNERBB OF GBBREAT BBRITAIN
AND IRELAND,
(ew erk ass' Juns 3.)
One of the most important events of the
time is the Parliamenotary inquiry, now
completed, Into th diestribution of real
property in Great Britala. What invests
this achievement with pesuliar interest is
the fact that sines the eompilation of the
Domesday Book uader Willian the Nor- r
man, nothing like It has been aecomplished.
Before citing, howevor, some of the more
striking results, it is proper to note that I
the present registration does not repro- I
dune all the useful features of its unique
and time-honored exemplar. It by no
means contemplated a survey of all publie
and private domains, a precise determina
tion of their selling or renting value, a der I
tailed statement of the kinds of culture
employed, or a separation of improved l
from non-improved property. It aimed
simply at an approximate estimate of the
number of landowners in the United King
dom, together with the amount and value
of their holdings. " For this purpose resort
was bad to the existing schedules of the
Poor Law and Income Tax Commission
era, and the report lately presented to Par
liament may be regaraed as an abstract
some particulars, yet on the whole suffi
ciently exhanstive and correct. We should
premise further that neither London and
the built-up district encircling the metrop
olis, nor waste lands, common lands, for
ests, parks and pleasure grounds. fell
within the scope of the inquiry; and that
the Irish rents, being computed upon an
appraisement of many years ago, do not
furnish anso adequate measure of present
values. But we are enabled to answer the
capital question, who owns the arable soil
of Great Britain t
The aggregate of real property in the
three kingdoms, excluding the kinds of
land above specified, somewhat exceeds
seventy.two millions of acres. Or this
total supeificies we find that 348 proprie
tors, those, namely, ; hose estates several
ly comprise twenty thousand acres or
more, engross nearly a quarter, or in ex
act figures 17,300,000 acree. Next we
note that 2,198 proprietors who individu
ally own five thousand acres or upward
are collectively credited with about thirty
four million acres, or one-half of the whole
area. A somewhat larger category, yet
still inconsiderable-in point of.numbers, to
wit, the 10,900 landowners who possess one
thousand acres-or more, is actually master
of fifty-two million acres, or more than two
thirds of the entire arable surface of the
United Kingdom. It appears that the
remaining third is shared between 1,160,
000 small proprietors, whose average hold
ing does not exceed seventeen acres.
These figures undoubtedly confirm the
prevailing impression regarding the ab
sorption of British soil by great sland
owners, but a scrutiny of this report in
more aetail reveals a fact for which we
were lees prepared, namely, that this mon
opnoy Is far Itss decisive in England than
in Scotland and Ireland. I bhus, in Scot
land, there are twenty four proprietors,
and three in Ireland, each of whom pos
et eres one hundred thousand acres or up
ward, whereas in England there is olly
one ,ian who controls so wide an area.
Again, the aggregate territory belonging
to the twelve largest English landowners
is ccmpnted at about one million acres ;
the property of the twelve foremost Irish
landowners reaches nearly a million and a
third; while twelve real estate magnates
in Scotland have among them not less than
four and a third millions of acres, or
about one quarter of the whole area of
that, kingdom. There is one Scottish land.
owner who controls one and a third million
acres, or more than the sum of the estates
belcnging to the twelve greatest proprie
tors in England or in Ireland, and we may
add that the same man possesses a consid
erable property-sone thirty thousand
acres-south of the border.
To point in another way the contrast
between the several divisions of the United
Kingdom we may say that England has
one landed proprietor for every twenty
inhabitants, Scotland one for every twenty
five, and Ireland one in seventy nine in
habitants. In England, too, the mean
area of each holding is only 33 acres, in
Scotland it is 143, and in Ireland not less
than 293 acres. It is to be noted, likewise,
that wiii the whole English soil is divided
among nearly a million owners, the num
ber of freeholders in Scotland is bnt 132,000,
and in Ireland not more than 69,000. If,
finally we leave out of view those who
possess htss than an acre, and ta.ke into
account only such as have one acre i r
more, we observe that England has one
proprietor in 72 inhabitants, Scotland one
in 176 and Ireland one in 166. Of 1,173,000
landowners in the three kingdoms, it
seems that 850,000 command less than a
single acre, while the remainder belongs
to a more fortunate class.
When we turn to the relative values of
land in the several parts of the United
Kingdom, we fled the difference singular
ly favorable to England. Looking. for
instance at the income from rents of the
twelve largest properties in each of the
three countries, we see that the mean rev
enue per acre is about $5.62 in England,
but only 81 30 in Ireland, and scarcely
eighty cente in Scotland. Again, the
average return from his estate to each
English holder of lard is eatimated at five
hundred dollars, against seven hundred
I for his Scottish and nearly a thousand for
his Irish compeer. Let us take now a
single landowner in each of the three
kingdoms, and mark the annual in
come of his estate. The foremost ter
ritorial magnate of England has less
than a hundred and ninety thousand acres,
whichb, however, bring him eight hundred
and sixty thousand dollars. On the other
hand, the million and a third of acres be
longing to his great Scottish rival yield an
aggregate of just three hundred and forty
thousand dollars. According to a very
faulty appraisement, the largest Irish pro
prietor is still worse off, since his 170,000
acres are said to be worth lem than fifty
thousand dollars a year.
Such, in some of its striking asiects, is
the condition of real property in the Brit
ish Islands. We do not propose to discuss
its untoward features or the remedies suog
Sgested; neither can we dwell on other ci
Srious details which are brought out in this
Sreport. We would point out, however,
r that none of the facts cited justify the con
Sclusion that the laws now in force further
