THE FLOODS.

The Entire L.evee at St. Louis Submerged. People Driven From Their IIoihm cad Compelled to Seek Shelter in Cox Cars. Iteetitution at Venice, Illinois The Situation at Kansas City The Overflow at Alton. THE CiKKAT OVEKFLO 5V. The RlTer Gradually Rising t St. Lonla The Whole of tile Levee Submersed. St. Louis, June i" The river is still rising slewly, bat the situation both here and in last St. Louis Is practically unchanged. The Bowman dyke still stands the pressure, and that and other weak points are constantly being strengthened. Threats were made last evening to cut What is known as the Madison County dyke, which is a high embankment ranting east from the river a mile and a half about midway between Erooklyn and Venice, but after a long and angry wrangle between a cumber of inhabitants of the former place and some people living north of the dyke, it was decided nothing should be done till to-' day, as the cutting of the dyke would let more water in Brooklyn and inundate ail the part of town not already submerged. The Tooele were very determined and guarded the Uvee ail night with shotguns and other weapons. - Bat so far as known no attempt was made to interfere with it. A large volume of water still It 3ws through the breaks made yesterday in the Chicago and Alton and other Kiilroad tracks, and is spreading out and covering more ami more of the bottom toward the bluH'i and along the Vandalia Eailway, but no damage to the Latter is yet reported. Reports from points along the Missouri vary considerably. Atsomeplaoes the water is still risirg, while at others it has fallen from a few inches to two feet. It is safer to fay, however, tha. there is considerable more Trater to come dawn from the region this tide of St, Joseph, and the rise here may bs a foot higher. A dispatch from Bismarck says Yellowstone Ilier is already as high as lait year, and the Missouri Rjver is rising at that place. TelegTanis from other daces high up the Missouri indicate that th.e usual June riss has commerce), and in all likelihood some part of it will reach here before the present flood recedes to any extent. Should this be the case the situation would become alarming, and the destrnetion of property along both the upper and lower rivers will be appallirg. Tbe river roee another three inchei to-day, and is still coming up slowly. No particular charge in the situation cn this side of the river. The whole of the levee is now snb- . merged, and in the lowest places the first floors of stores are flooded from a few inches to a couple of ff et deep. Business in houses on the river's front is suspended, except In two or three doggeries, where Bcaffjlds have been built and whisky still dispensed for five cents a drink. A little excitement was occasioned in I 'ist SL Louis this afternoon by a threatened overflow of the Cairo Short Line track, by backwater, but a dam of earth and s-nd bags was hastely thrown upon tbe water side of the track, which checked the flow of water and averted danger. The Chicago and Alton c nnection wim tbe Indianapolis and St. Louis and the Wabash are driving piles in the break in their track above Venlcs, and it is expected they will have a good trestle acrois the gap by Wednesday, and their trains be rtnnire SKain. The National Stock Yards in East SL Louis are in no danger of being flooded as has been reported. They can easily stand a rise of three feet, and it would require four feet to stop business. The Union Yards, on this aide cf the river, are also well protected and in no danger. The situation in Kaat Carondelet and Cahokia grows worse dally. The water covers that whole section of country, and some flooded cut families begin to suffer. Their wants will probably be supplied to morrow. The railroads which have lost their tracks have abandoned the ferriage system U5tveen here and Alton, and have arranged with the Vandalia Road to run their pasenger traius. The Indianapolis and St. Louis will seal their trains to Efiingham, thence to Mattom. The Wabash will use the Vandalia to Altamcnt, where it will take its own track, ana the Chicago and Alton and C, B. and Q. will run to Smithboro, where they will connf ct with their own roads. All othar Eastern lines are using their own tracks and all Wfstern trains are getttini trains through in pretty good shape. Tho Vandalia track, about which there was some apprehension esterday, is still two feet atove water, and can rea lily be made to resist four or five feet. Appeal for Aid. St. Loop, Jane '25. A large number of fanners ard lind owners on the Amnion bot oru and residents of Venice and other towns between East St. Louis and Mitchell held a meeting at Venice this afternoon.

The river at 7 o'clock -was twenty-three feet four inches on the Signal Service gauge and rising steadily. It bos risen six inches since last night. The inhabitants in West Kansas City are preparing to leave, one or two families having changed quarters to-day. There is much apprehension regarding the ice houses and other property along the river in that vicinity. The water is now considerably higher than at any time since

1Tllepread Destitution. Alton, 111., June 2". The magnitude of the disaster from the Hoods below this city is jest beginning to be discovered. The bteak of the dyke below this city has caused a destruction covering a wide area. The Say Carte bottoms are ruined for the year. Thousands of families between Louisiana and Crofton are homeless and fleeing before the floods. Stock to the number of 0.000 head has already been drowned in the American bottom. Telegraph communication is seriously interrupted. PAUPER EMIGRANTS. A Determination to Put ft Stop to the Land toe of Paupers From Forelsa Countries. New York, June 25. The Emigration Commissioners held a special meeting to consider measures to prevent pauper emigration from Great Britain. This action was called for in view of the large arrivals of pauper emigrants yesterday. Commissioner Stephenson said he had procured affidavits from several immigrants showing that they have been inmates of poor houses in Ireland and were induced to come to this country by work house masters, from whom they had received passage tickets and small sums of money. The Commissioner considered the landing of pauperj largely due to the laxity of the management of Castle Garden, and lecommended that inspectors be appointed who would not be af rai d to do their duty. After further discussion it was resolved to instruct ihe Secretary of the lljard to detain all emigrants proved to be sent here by funds furnished by the British Government, atd to appoint a Committee of tbe Board to wait on the Collector of the psrt ard present the etlidavita taken in regarj to such esse?, and ask that the Steamship Companies which brought such emigrants here be compelled to return them to the port whence they came, at their own expense. While the meeting was in progress, tbe Commissioners were informed that the steamer Anchoria had justarrived with immigrants wkose passages were paid by the British Government, and who were paupers. It was reeolved r ot to allow the Ancho ia'B passengers to lscd until the inaiector had made a thoroogn investigation. The Commissioners expras the nuelvea determined to put a stop to tbe larding cf pauper immigrants from foreign countries. A TIIKAVKK FIRE. Theater In Dervlo Burned and Forty-Seven Lives Lost. Loxpok, Jnne '23. Intelligence of a frightful calamity at a place of amusement in Dervio, ou the shore of Laks Como, has just been received. While a performance was in progreis at a puppet Theater the structure took fire and was entirely destroyed. Fortyteven lives were lost and twelve others injured. The show was in a large hall over a tavern. ! There were ninety persons in the hall. A Bengal light was used to represent fire and t parks. From this fire was set to a quantity of straw and firewood in an adjacent room. On perceiving the tlames the showmen thcuted "Fire!" but the spectators thought tr.e cry was merely a realastio bill of the show and remained seated. The cries of tire were soon raised outside the hall, and the audience thinking an a Cray had arisen in the street, barred with a heavy door leading frcm the hall, they did not discover their mistake until the Hames burst into the room. After the fire was extinguished forty-seven charred corpses were found near a table, including the bodies of a showman and his wife. A large portion of the bodies at Dervio are women and children. Tne wounded .were hurt by leaping through the wiuJows. A ehud was flung out of a window by its mother and fell upon a pile of straw. This is the only one of the spectators, present in the hall who was not hurt. DrouDlDK of John Im Stryker. Fabato;a, June :.'." John L.

PAII THE PENALTT.

Four Arkansas Trwin Kobber Kzeeated on One Gallows. Little Rock, Ark., June 22. At Clarksrille, Johnson County, to day Gove and Jim Johnson, McDonald and Herndon, who, last March, murdered Conductor Cain while robbing the Little Rock and Ft. Smith Railroad train near Mulberry Station, were tanged in the presence of a large crowd, several thousand persons from several Counties being present. A Cazette special says: During the early morning all the prisoners slept soundly and talked free'y to the persons admitted to their presence. Considerable time was spent by all in reading the Bible, and during the talk McDonald described the white man he murdered at Silver City, Montgomery County. Georg Johnson, leader of the gang, said he could have committed suicide any time alter the convietion, and would have done so but for Jimmie, his nephew, also to be hung. He polled a knife out of the lining in his shce, where it had long been concealed. The prisoners ate a hearty dinner at 11 o'clock and talked on commonplace subjects.. McDonald complained of being compelled to leave a blind wile and children destitute, and believed she would net survive him ten days. She declared he was innocent of Conductor Cain's death. George Johnson said he believed Jimmie fired the fatal shot, not knowing what he was doing. Jimmie replied that if he committed the act he did not know it At neon the guard approached and pinioned tbe prisoners and put them in & wagon, which waa followed to the sea Hold by a crowd numbering 11,000. On the night of March 12 of this year, a little more than three months ago, the west bound train on the Little Rock and Ft. Smith Railroad was boarded by a band of four robbers at a station known as Mulberry, just on the western border of and inside the County ol Franklin. They at once began yelling like Indians, and swinging their revolvers over their heads, ordered the passengers to hold up their hand. In the midst of the panic caused by their presence Conductor Cain, who had charge of the train, came into the passerger car, and as he approached Jim Heroin shot him and he fell. Miltou Lester, a break man, then ran to his assistance, when Munroe McDonald shot him. Jim Jt hnson then rushed in to prevent McDonald fioni firing aain, when the latter, in the excitement, fired at Johnson but missed him. Johnson at once returned the fire, shootirg McDonald in the face and inflicting a severe wound, wbich crippled him so that he could rot escape with the others. Finding be could not get away McDonald assumed tbe wounded pass-enger dodge, in which he was highly successful umil Lester, the wounded kreakman, got yes on him and recegcized himon sigbt8s tbe robber who had wounded him during the skimUh. Conductor Cain died almost immediately when shot, and the killing ot the conductor, tbe wounding of the brakeman, and the cripplinc of one of their, own gng, so demoralized the desperadoes that they abandoned their original purpose of reaching the pai.scngeis and hastily retreated, the two Johnsons going in one direction and Herndon in another, leaving McDonald, the wounded one. in a farm house near the station, where he wes subsequently captured. Ilster, the brakeman, was shot jast below the left eye, the sight of which was destroyed, but he finally recovered. Gove Johnson was the chief in planning the robbery, but Herndon wes chosen as leader in the attempt. AN OLD LADY'S TROl'ltLES. As Aged Mother Driven From Home by an Unnatural Daughter. Wheeling, W. Va June 23. There arrived in this city this morning from i'ittüburg, over the Pan-Handle Road, a German lady, gray-haired and bowed with rears, utterly destitute of either money or friends, who nan just pissed through an experience of hardship and suilering terrible to one so old, and which, Indicted as it was at the hands of her only daughter, was doubly hard to bear. A reporter saw her just after her arrival, and from her gleaned the following facts in her history: "Her name is Mrs. K'te Meyer, eighty-three years of age, and une has heretofore resided with her daughter's family at Marietta, O. The daughter's husband died a year ago, und she, being a remarkably piepoesesring wem an, although forty years of age, became engaged to a well known and wealthy young man of Marietta, who, however, demanded that tbe old lady be driven from home or otherwise disposed ol. Accordingly Monday, the 11th in st Mrs. Meyer was driven from her borne by her daughter without a dollar of money or luflicient clothing, akd without means of existence except by beegirg Mrs. Meyer bad another daughter residing in Pitiüburp. and having no other resort except to become an inmate of some county infirmary, (be resolved to traved on foot to herdaughter'a. a journey of over 20) miles, and theie claim an A.ylum during the few remafniufr years of her life, bhe accordingly set out from Marietta, and, after tolling faithfully for four days ai?d nights, begging food from farmhouses and ton little towns aloDg me route, she arrived at Bridgeport tne evening of Friday, the 15th inst., after a tramp of about aeAenty-five mUes. Crossing to the city she remained here until the following day. bePu civen bbelier and food by some of our Garmaa citizens, when she renmed her pilgrimuje. reaixiine tltot-urg; lat -Thursday. Here, however, a fresh trouble awaited her. Her daughter, the found, had removed soma fifty or sixty mil as outaide that, city, and although German friends thore reDteud her ome assistance no one could be found willing to receive her naa permanent addition to his family. She was, therefore. turned adrift ouoe more in the art-at city without the wherewith to purchase a l ite to rat or a place to lay her head. The old lady, by this time almost broken hearted, found her way to the Pan Handle Depot, intending to return to Wheeling on a ticket f urnifhed her bv l'ituburg fiiends. But, apparently stlil pursued by fate, she missed the train, and was compelled to ileep in ihe depot all Wedoeslay nlgat. taking the train tbe next day and reaching the city this mornlDg. efhe had determined to return euce more to Marietta and make a final appeal to hor dsugnter to give her shelter and food.

CiirciH hati, June 24. The monument to General FredHecker Was unveiled with great ceremony in Washington Park to-day. A great procession marched through the streets, and speeches were made by Emil Rothe, Moritz Jacob! and Albert Springer. The monument is the work of a Cincinnati sculptor, Mr. Leopold Fettweis, and reflects credit ' on his artistic ability. The entire height of the monument is seventeen feet, corresponding exactly with the size of the MeCook monument In Washington Fark. The pedestal on which the . bust is placed is twelve and one-half feet high. The bust Itself is of colos?al size, giving a three-fourths Yiew of liecker. Theres" three bases, leading by steps to the shift cf the monument, the lower base measuring seven and a half feet fvjuare. The word "liecker" is inscribed

in large characters on the front surface of a smaller base connecting with the shaft, The surface of the shaft bears four inscriptions. The front has the years "1848" and "1SG1," memorable in llecxer's life, engraved upon it. On the south surface, in German caracters, are the words: "In word and deed for the freedom of the people, in the old and new Fatherland." A similar inscription ia on the north side in English words. The last surface contains the words of dedication: "In memoriam by his CinciDEati friends." Above these inscriptions are four laurel wreaths, with four different emblematic scenes. The first is the torch and sword, representing progress and power; the second is the scroll and pen, representing the man of letters and the statesman; the third is the American shield, with ivy and oak ; the last is the farmer with his agricultural implements, representing llecker at home.

THE GAINES JL'D CJ51ENT. SCew Orleans Highly Kxcited Over the Recent Decision ot Judge Hillings. New Obleans, La , June 25. The decision of Judge Billings cf the United States Court directing the isaue of a mandamus compelling the City Council to forthwith levy and collect a special tax for the purpose ot paying Mrs. Gaines tbe amount ot the judgment against the city rendered by him, some $2,000,000, has excited popular feeling in such a manner as it has not been wrought up for many years. The press are unitedly opposed to Inforcing" the decree, and not a member of the Council Will dare to vote to obey the order of the Court. There is even talk of hanging Judge Billings In effigy. It has been decided by the city to appeal the caseprovicled the Ccurt will accept a reasonable bond; if not, the policy of the city will b9 one of passive resistance to all orders of Court, The aggressive movervienta must come from the Court, and they will be firmly met. An effort to commit for contempt of his authority on the part of the Judge will be ofoet with a refu?al to obey, and if the Court calls on the Marthel to enforce its orders tbe city will call cn its cwn police and thus force will be met wiih fcrce. In brief, the order of the Court to levy the tax will not ba obeyed, and no one shall go to jail for disobedience in the refusal. Not the least interesting of the developments in this case is the fact that Mrs. Gaines was cn the street yesterday trying to borrow money with which to psy her way back ty her home in Washington. Incidentally sli stated that Ehe bad not a dollar of interest in the proceeds of this judgment, as it was all going into the hands vi a syndicate of lawvers and speculators. a xorru WOMAN.

The alaim was at once given and a doctor called in, who found she had taken morphine. After several hours' work with a battery the woman was restored to consciousness, when she stated she had taken twenty grains or morphine, in broken doses, from 1 o'clock last night; that she was tired of lite, bad nothing to live for, and wanted to die. This is Mrs. Witty's third attemptat self-destruction. Thi? woman has a remarkable history. She is a cousin of Frank and Jesse James, who were present when ehe married Bay Singleton, in Kansas City, several j cars ago. Singleton at the time was a fugitive frain justice, tbe officers of Mississippi being attcr him. so he had assunud the name of Walter Witty, the name of a wealthy banker in his native State. Afttr rrpchirg Texas Mrs. Witty discovered that she had married her husband under a false name, and compelled h.ni, at the point t f a pistol, to procure a litxnss and marry ter under the name of Singleton, the latter weddicg taking place in the town of Danton. When Witty wa9 shot by William Hefran, alias "Canada Bill," his vife came to him and tenderly nursed him until he died. While waiting on the dying man a womaa who had been Witty's mistress forced herself into the room, when Mrs. Singleton drew a revilver from ber bosom and drove the woman from the house.

A It LACK FILSOJ. Baltimore tbe Scene of a Number of ISrutal Assaolts on White Girls by a Colored Thug. Baltimore, June 2-'. Wihin the last two or three months a number of outrageous assaults have been perpetrate! ly ne-o?3 on ladies and children along tha reatcrn limits of this city. Last niftht Miss Clara Snyder, a young lady residing near the suburbs, had been visiting some friends a few blocks away from her home, and ato;it 10 o'clock, it being a brlf.ht moonlight night, she starred on herTetmn home. Two of her lady friends followed her a short distance to jae if sbe g3t across tbe lots in safet'. Suddenly they were horrified to see a large negro man leap out from behind a pile of lumber and deal Miss Fnvder a terrible blow in the face, knocking her down. They were almost speechless froin terror, but ran back toward their home and gave the alarm. Meantime the daring villain diagged the young lady by the hair of the hr ad across the lot to an alley, at the same time tearing her entire drees in shreds. Ho stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth, and would no doubt have murdered her but for the arrival of several gentlemen summoned by her friends' f creams for assistance. The negro made his escape.

The Democracy of Ohio in Line. Largest Convention or Representative Men Ever Held at the State Capital. Judge Hoadly Nominated for Governor The Platform Sketch of the Nomine Other Gatherings. OHIO DEMOCRATS. Knt1iastastlc Convention at Colum'ons Judge Iloadley Somlnated for Gevernor The Proceedings. CoLCMiirs, 0., Juno 21. Tbe Democratic State Convention onvened at 10 o 'clock this morning with the largest crowds ever seen on similar occasions in Columbus. Not more than half the people could be accommodated in the Opera House. The sultry weather and rain made everything disaagreoable. The contest between Ward and Hoadley, for Governor, waged fiercely daring the morning hours. The Contention was called to order by Clark Irvine, Chairman of the Central Committee, and reports of tho Committees appointed last niht were hc&rd. All preliminary "organisation was dispensed with, and lion. John;McSweeney,of Wooster, cf Dorsey's counsel in tbe Star Haute trial, introduced as Chairman and recaived with much enthusiasm. He spoke briefly in the line of exhortation, and predicted a Democratic victory, but touched no hmt. The floor of the Convention becams a overrun with spectators that business was suspended and a Sergeant-at-Arms from eajh District appointed to get the delegates seats. It was aDout half an hour before work wa3 resurmd. The Committee on Rssol'itions not being ready to report, the Convention proceeded to the nciuiDation of a Governor. There wan great delay in the presentation of names. Kfcrls were made to proceed to a ballot without names, but after a long wait, Senator Innrman crowded on to the stage amid the wildest enthusiasm. He followed T. K Powell, and ftoiided tha noraiaatio:: of General Durbia Ward. He made an able plea for a recognition of th services ot General Ward. He warned the Cmveaiion about tie icg themselves to any ous is-ue, end announced that the party hii alsvays bten arrayed against sumptuary legislation, and shall continue in that wny. Töernmes of Hcadly aLd Geddes were then' presented in order. .Trouble was reached on the first ballot when Butler County was c.tlled, wnlch had a divided delegation, and resulted in aall of the Counties to do away with the unit rule, which was carried amid great conf usioa, and showed the strength of the ltadmg CAüdidates to be about even. The ballot was no; linisbed until l:'.',0 and was as follows: Hoadly, 2t0; Ward, 261; Geddes, 77; Denver. 4. The second ballot proceeded till Datier County was reached again, and tbe same trouble ensued. After the c-ill bad been concluded some changes began for Hoadley, and the greatest sxcitement prevailed, delegates climbing over each other and storming each o'.her and ttormicg the platform. Before the result of the ballot could ba announced a motion to nominate Hoadley by acclamation wap carried. He had in the neighborhood of 350 votes, ol9 being necessary to a choice. Judge Hoadley soon appeared and accepted the ncminaticn in a ten minutes' address, during which he renewed his connection with the party, and although he l ad wardered at one time with the Ilpnblitans to light the battit s of ihe tolor.nl race; the Democracy wai broad enorgti to receive him again. He esteemed it a great compliment to be nominated over a more worthy candidate, and believed they could win cn a platform whose leading principles wtie personal liberty, self-control ia temperance matters and a license system. Tbe Convent:on proceeded to tbe nomination of Lieutenant Governor, and John G. Warwick, of Stark County, was selected by acclamation. Before the ballot wa? concluded De Witt Coalman, of Fortage County, and other candidates were withdrawn. The work cf nomination was frequently interrupted and delayed, and in the meantime General Ward was brought in and made a speech, in which he Eeverely rebuked the party for failing to recogniza his thirty years' services. Though not to be daunted he announced himself publicly as a candidate for the United States Senate. The sp ch cf Judge Geddes wa in a somewhat different vein, though both pledged fealty to the party. Before other nominations were made the Committee on Resolutions submitted the following, which was adopted: rLATKORM.

The party were received In

tbe President's library, and Sullivan addrMsed the Itesicteut MR. ErLLITAS's APDRES8. Tbe following ia a synopsis of Mr. Sullivan's speech: Mr. Irk.-IDE.vt A Convention at Philaaelpbia of American ulceus of the Irish race, com nosed of 1,200 delegates, chosen from all psrts of tbe I'ntted Slates, Instructed me to present to you the following resolution: Resolved, That tbe policy of the English Government in first reducing the lrinh peasantry to at ject poverty, and then sendlHg them pennllesa to the United State, dereodeots upon American charity, ia unnatural, inhuman, aul an ou trace uron tbe American Government and people. We respectly direct the attention ot" tne United states Government to thia iniquity, protect aeainst iw continuance, and instruct the oSlcials who ahall be che sen by this Convention to present our protest to the President of the Unite 1 State, and respectfully but firmly urge upon the President that it la tbe duty of the Government of the United States to decline to support paupers whose pauperbin began under and ia tbe result cf English misgovernment and to demand of England that sbe send no more of her pan pen to these shores to beeome a burden uprn the Arrerlcan people. It is, sir, this question : Sboll a foreign Government be permitted to reduce by law and force to raupeTi.-m lame numbtrscf taose from whom it claims the allegiance of and to whom it o-xes the protection cue subjects; and then compel tbe Rain blic of the United States to receive aud provide for them? As American cdtf7ns, we charge that the Government rf Great Britain by law and fore: rr luces to pauperism many thousands of the peop e of 'relard and then deporta them to the Unite. I Sta e. their arrival at our ports in extreme drita'ion being of cemmon knowledge and of odcial record. Aa Ameiican citizens, we solemnly proteet against thia outrage on humia'ty. on civilization and on international equity. Tbe only defence unofficially offered tythe Eiiglisni Government is thatlreland is so poor that euigrationjf a necessity. In relation to this defense we submit this proposition: That If the poverty of Ireland be not natural, but artificial, and be the result not of tbe operation of economic principles, but of a political system therein maintained, the English Government can not take advantage ot its own wrongdoing; Is not entitled to an avoidance of its consequences, and ahould not be permitte! to inflict its victims as charges upon the American Republic. That in the absence of legislation oa the sn!ject, the President of the United 8 a tea make official protest to the Government cf Great Britain apalTist the fnrther deposit upon the territory ol the United States of persona reduced by misrule to pauperism ia Ireland. 1 hat the officials of tbe United State at American seaports and aloi g the Car: alia n frontier be instructed carefully to collect information, statistics 1 and descriptive, on the subject cf pauper Britisb irr migration, which has already entered or may heieafter enter the territory of the United S;us. and that the reports of thev ofl:cUls be U ammitted to the ConRrees of tbe Uaited 8tate with tecommerdaiions by you for the eaactment of appropriate lemedial legislation. Ibat tbe United States Government consider tbe propriety of calling tbe attention of tbe Government ef Great Brittalu to the fact that tbe political and social condition cf Ireiar.d compels a large cumber of citizeas of the United gutes annually to tiLdan immense aum of non.-y into that country to relieve dire and chronic misery and prove tt the fatal effects of f.'.mlre ia tbe mtdsiof in abundance o' food: and that in tbe nrme cf humanity Itself the Briti-u Government bertquca ed by the Government of the Uni ed fcutes to remove the causes wbich create aad perpetuate this misery and keep nearly fire million human beings in unparalleled t-istre aad on the ver.-e of be most frightful deaih. lli&t the Government cf Great BriUia will be p!eeedto receive a courteous sutgestioa in bettlf cf tbe people cf Ireland It wnuia be improper to dcubt, since the present Minister b&s himself declaied that "it would b a coatraventi jn of the law cf nature and e.cxl. if it were possible for any finale cat.'on of Cbiisundom to emancipate itself fiom the cblizatior s which bind all other nations and to ariogate iu the face cf mankind a position of peculiar privilege " Jndieial record shew that between 1M1 and 1SS0 no less than a mLIiia human beirrs were subjected, tinder English law In In land, to wbat Mr. Gladstone hs pronounced

r "nearly equlvolent to a lentfcceof drath" evic tion; and, in stiteci menectu&i una reform, in five years evictions have doubled. Briff h statistics exhibit tbe frightful and almost incomprehemible fact ttat 50 ir cent, of the people of Ire'and are living in mad cabins, half of them bevels cf a single room. To point out that compulsoiy deportation to this Republic is not an equitable or humane method for Improving the condition of these so-called subjects of England is nirely within the rights, if it be notoneof the duties, of the Government of the United States. In clesing Sullivan Introduced P. L. Hornet. President ol tec Irbh Emigrant Savings Bank, New York, who said the inmates of Poor Houses and other dependents who had been receiving out-dcor relief in Ireland have been aided by the British Government to emigrate to this country. It is a matter e f general krowledge that Parliament baa voted 1M),0C0 to serve that purpose, and tbat agents of the BriiUh Government have come to this country to perfect arrangements for tbe reception of those aided emigrants. Application was made by Mayor Gaskell to the immigration Society at New York for that parpose, and the Society declined to have anything to do with inch business, and he proceeaed to Eoston. where he met with better success. Tbe aided emigrants cor gist largely of people unable to werk, old women and young children. They have been aided to the extent cf having their passage paid, and are given the miserable pittar ce of ten shillings upon their arrival here to go to their friends. Of course that sum Is entirely icadequate, ard the consequence has been they were compelled to seek aid in New York, Boston and elsew here. If regular affidavits in regard to these facts are required they caa be furnished. We respectfully request you to use your influence to prevent a recurrence of this state of things. It ia to tbe interest of American municipalities to have progress in this aided emigration scheme stepped. At the proper time yon will doubtless make appropriate recommendations to Congress upon this subject. Jamee Lynch, of New York, President of the Irish Emigration Society, was the next speaker, lie iead an enract from a letter on the subject of aided emigration, and said tbe charge of maintaining the poor of Ireland falls upon the poor l.aw e.uard, ans, which body at a recent meeting In Limerick, passed a resolution to tbe effect that no moie aid ceuld be given to these immigrant. He a't.0 taid such aided emigration, if net stepped, would result in stripping the paupers from all the Poor Houses in Ireland. Many cf tais cit of emigrants, who have arrived in this ountry, have rrade application to be sent back to Irelaari.- Oat cf seventeen immigrants tccently arrived, only fir were able to work. Jarres Rejnoidi, of New Haven, presented a Vetter of instruction to the Presidmt from er-eiov-ercor 11 o bait B. Bigelow. of ConcecUcur, and stated tbat cf eighteen of those lorcea emigrants were now ia New Haven are in des:: tu e t icimstance. ouly five of whom were able to work. Totnese five Reynolds furci-hod temporary employment, so as to enable them to t iiJge over their present dlfhculties and prev.ntttem from becoming American paupers. Citizens of every municipality atd community in America bare as much interest, financially and otherwLe. in puttii.g a step to this syatcm of emigration as the Irish end American has. EreryboJv looks upon this thir g as an lni.(3:ty tbat shoald not be tolerated by the American people. - Mr. Smith, of Ohio, sad icventT-taree of these imTover.aiied people were sent to Tiin, and were a burden upon tbat community. If a less number had been sent, theu some eöort might be made to atsistthtmr but the preeent party was too large to supcort. Smith s&'d his neighbors insisted he should erne -here-and-l&J? Oi matter before the iTesident, so the trouble mI?M be rcmeJied. , Tbe PrcsMent replied to the addretses as follows i . "Tfce subject you present will receive my careful cout-iOeiauon. It haa already been under consideration by the Secretary of d'ate. and 'corres ponder ce in regard to it has bee a had with our Diplomatic and Consular representatives, and an lnvestigatira into the facta ia now being male by them. It is of course proper that this Government should ascertain whether any Nation with which it holds amicable relatione ia violaUng any obligation of International friendship before cailicg attention to any such matter.
