THE TIPPERARY ELECTION.

The voters of Tipperary seem to have honoured
their functions more in the breach than in the
observance at the remarkable contest which has just
terminated. Out of 9,500 electors on the register
only 2,161 recorded their votes. The reason is
clear. - The vast mobs who beset the
polling booths were well enough disposed towards
the supporters of Rossa; but in some places scarcely
anyone cared to vote for the more moderate candi-
date. In the town of Tipperary only ten votes were
given for Mr. Heron. With one exception, the total
number is less than on the occasion of any previous
contest in this county. At the general election of
1852 Mr. Francis Scully polled 5,150 votes, and
James Sadleir (afterwards expelled from the House
of Commons) 5,083. In 1865 Mr. Charles Moore,
who died in August last, was returned at the head of
the poll by 2,722 votes, the late Mr. Dillon muster-
ing 2,662, while Mr. Peter Gill, the " national"
candidate, registered only 938. In October 1866
3,419 electors voted for one candidate, and 2,865 for
another. Last November there was no contest ;
Mr. Moore and the Hon. C. White were returned
without opposition.

LIFE ASSURANCE.

The Rev. John Hodgson, M.A., Secretary to the
Clergy Mutual Life Assurance Society, has just
issued a pamphlet entitled, " Hints to the Clergy
in respect to Life Assurance," which the educated
and intelligent class to which it is addressed would
do well to deeply consider with a view to its per-
sonal application. The work sets out with a re-
markable array of facts, all showing the advantage,
we might almost say the necessity, for life assur-
ance amongst the clergy, and as it has been shown
most unmistakeably that the duration of life
amongst clergymen, as a class, is longer than
amongst the population generally, the ques-
tion that naturally arises is, where is there
an office where this peculiarity is taken
into consideration, and a corresponding reduc-
tion made in the terms of assurance ? To
that question Mr. Hodgson gives the best answer
by referring the inquirer to the office of the
Clergy Mutual. There the clergyman will find
the peculiarities of his position have been fully con-
sidered and provided for, and the great success that
at present attaches to its operation is a strong
proof that its advantages are highly appreciated
and approved of by the clergy of the United King-
dom. We commend a perusal of the pamphlet to
the clergy generally, feeling certain that whet*
doubts exists as to the duty of life assurance, the
arguments of Mr. Hodgson will fully and satisfac-
torily settle the question.

Rossini's remains have been removed from the
sepulchre of Count Pepoli and placed in a new
tomb constructed of stone in the cemetery of Pere-
Lachaise, Paris. The inscription outside simply
bears in letters of gold the name Rossini.
It has been stated that an English nobleman is
ready to spend the p incely sum of £130,000 in
building another opera house! In mitigation of so
palpable a waste of money, it is averred that
" national opera" would benefit thereby. Whether
there be not other more important national objects
which it would redound to the honour of such a
liberal donor to support is not my province to de-
termine ; but no one can avoid the thought.

lIODGE IN DORSET.

Lord Shaftesbury- complains that the condition of
the agricultural labourer on his Dorset estates has
IL—agricultural population. The weekly wages are
in money only 12s. a week, but the statement omits
to take note of the allotments which are attached to
every cottage, and which are worth at least 2s. a week
more. The rent of the cottages is only ls.,
though they cost MO a pair. Lord Shaftes-
bury adds:—" The labourers in this district work
only from seven to five, with time off for meals—a
less time of labour than in almost any agricultural
part of England. And they will not work any more ;
for when my principal tenant offered them an increase
of wages for an increase of work, they flatly refused
it." The Dail!! News does not, however think. that
..i.-I:nation'ntlefectol7. No doubt Lord Shaftesbury
does his best for the Donet-.sliiie labourer, but this
very fact proves that the wages are insufficient to
maintain the peasant. Lord Shaftesbury treats his
cottagers liberally in order to eke out the miserable
weekly money payment. It is only by charity that
the labourer can reasonably exist. What must his
condition be on estates the owners of which are less
liberal-minded ?

A SUIT FOR THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.

The site of the wealthy city of Louisville, "U.S., is now
forming the object of a law suit. The heirs of John
Caml,hell who, in 1783, possessed 000 acres of land, claim
to be the rightful owners of the ground on chic h the
commercial centre of the city stands. Tho first clu.rt3r
of the city was given in 1828, sinco which time it has
passed through many hands. The land and improvements
aro valued at 530,000,000.

the conduct of the State elections. Ile expresse3 himself
in the highest terms as to the manner in which
everything is conducted on these occasions. He
went through a largo part of the city during
election day, but he has often seen more disorder in a small
town in England or Ireland fer ten minutes than he
could observe the entire day is NJw York. He attributes
the good order that prevailed to the system of having so
many polling places, of taking the vote by Ballot, and not
announcing the state of the poll until all is over. Ho
considers the Ballot to be the most complete style of
voting, and after his recent experience he unhesitatingly
tells his fellow-countrymen that they should never
cease to agitate till they have it. With secret
voting the English system of election would
be the most perfect, for owing to the excellence
of our registration there could be no " repeating" or
fraudulent voting. He is sure that it would not make
any difference in the balance of political parties in Eng-
land, for it must.be borne in mind that there is the tyranny
of the mob as well as that of the employer and the land-
lord to be guarded against.

THE TIMES V. THE SPANIARDS.

The war between Spain and the Times still con-
tinues ; but the London journal holds its own bravely.
The Madrid papers affirm that the Times has been
bought to write dawn the candidature of the Duke
of Genoa, but that King Victor Emmanuel will setae
everything, and
make the Duke have the crown,
whether he likes it or not. To these foolish remarks
the London paper once more repeats calmly that the
Duke and his family entertain insuperable objections
to the scheme of seating the young prince on the
throne of Spain ; and that it is not responsible for
the will, the intention, or the power of King Victor
—albeit it is by no means clear how even a King can
compel another person to become a Sovereign,
if that
person andhis relatives refuse. The Times
recommends that the Spaniards settle the difficulty of
the crown by electing the son of the ex-Queen) or
even the son of Prim or Serrano.

TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE ON THE

.RHIN.E.

The Rhine Ga,:dte says:—" The iron bridge yet unfi-
nished, which the Railway Company of Berg was con-
structing across the Rhine, has fallen, in consequence of a
laden vessel having come into collision with the scaf-
folding of the construction. About forty workmen have
been killed and twenty wounded in this catastrophe.
This accident will retard for six months the completion of
the bridge."
London, England, 1869-11-27

The jad,gir.ent of the court below affirmed accordingly.

The following notice appears in a Chicago
journal :—" Personal.—(lf living) -vk ill the gentlemen who
left 195 * ave., last Sunday evening, to fight a duel on the
prairie, call and claim their property. If not called for
within ten days, will be sold for debt.—J. and B."

George Francis Train has commenced a suit against
the Kansas Pacific Railway, claiming $300,000. He is
also, he says, entitled to recover a similar amount from
the Union Pacific Road. Mr. Train has served no com-
plaint upon his opponents, and it is not, therefore, yet
apparent what his actions are brought for.
A BOILER EXPLOSION IN KENTITCKY.—A ter-
rible boiler explosion is reported from Conington, Ken-
tucky, the boiler in a large planing mill and sash factory
exploding, and creating the greatest alarm. At first the
wildest rumours were current, but it appeared that one
man only was killed and fourteen injured. Not one brick
of the building was left on another. The cause of the ex;
plosion is not known.

Three burglars lately entered a house at Mason-
ville, New Jersey, belonging to a Mr. Kelly. After tying
the family to their beds they proceeded to search the
premises. Mr. Kelly, releasing himself, escaped, and pro-
curing firearms from a neighbouring house, on his return
fired at and severely wounded a person whom he saw
getting out of a window. To his surprise this proved to
be his wife. The burglars escaped.

WHAT THEY LIKED, AND YET DID NOT LIKE.—
It is related of the Duke d'Ossana, Viceroy of Naples, that
by a skilful play upon words he prevented the execution
of a great injustice. On the death of a very rich but
bigoted citizen it was found that, negligent of the claims
of his only son, he had left his property to a convent of
Capuchins, at the same time with a proviso that
the monks should give the young man any part
they liked. having been put into possession
by the authority of a magistrate, the Capuchins
offered a small sum of money to the rightful heir; but
instead of accepting it, be brought the affair before the
Viceroy, who summoned all the parties concerned to
appear before him. When he had heard both sidas,
of the question, he turned towards the magistrate
saying, "It does not surprise me that the Capuchins,
having obtained possession, should wish to retain as much
of the property as they can ; but I am astonished to find
that so wise a judge as yourself should have so
wrongly read the terms of the will. Does it not
ordain that the monks should give their benefactor's son
the part they liko ? Now, when they offer him eight
thousand crowns, while purposing to retain the remaining
forty-two thousand crowns themselves, it is quite plain to
roe that the part they like is the forty.two thousand
crowns, and not the eight thousand► I degree, therefore,

HOW WILL IT END ?

The intimidation on the part of the Fenian element
seems to have been so gross, that even if O'Donovan
Rossa passed muster on other accounts, a peti-
tion must inevitably dislodge him. But it
is more than doubtful whether his election can be
considered valid in any sense. He is a felon ; and it
has always been held that no person convicted of
treason or felony can hold a seat in the House of
Commons unless the term of punishment have, from
any cause, terminated. James Sadleir was expelled
for haying fled from justice. The Daily News quotes
a still more decisive precedent. In 1848, when Smith
O'Brien had been convicted of treason, Lord Rus-
sell, then Prime Minister, moved, "That it appears that
William Smith O'Brien has been convicted of an
offence which necessarily incapacitates a person,
hitherto a member of Parliament, from remaining a
member of this House." Smith O'Brien being thus
civilly dead, incapable of retaining his seat, and equally
incapable of being elected, a new writ was at once
ordered for the county of Limerick. If then the
person elected on Thursday be really a Fenian con-
vict, the return must be void, and the seat will be
given to Mr. Heron. But in some quarters it is said
that the O'Donovan Rossa who has been placed at
the head of the poll is not the man in prison, but his
nephew, who bears the same name. The proposer of
the Fenian candidate announced this fact to the High
Sheriff before the opening of the poll.

THE LAND QUESTION AS A ROCK AHEAD.

The Liberal Government, notwithstanding its large
majority of suppert)rs in the House of Commons, is
in a very sad state, according to Mr. Cecil Raikes,
M.P. for Chester: it is like a vessel drifting inevit-
ably upon a rock. The rock ahead of course is the
Land Question ; and in Mr. Raikes's opinion—the
hon. gentleman is considered the rising. man of
the Tory party—if the Government bring in a
Radical measure it will split to pieces ; if it does not
do so it will split to pieces. This prophetic warning
virtually amounts to an announcement that, whatever
the Government does, the party to which Mr.
Raikes belongs will not help it. They
mean to oppose the men of the present
ministry ; meanwhile, principles may go to the
winds. Or else certainly what ho would consider a
moderate measure would have the support of the
member for Chester. Yet Mr. Raikes urged that
there must be no alliances on the part of the Con-
servatives with the Whigs. How else is the " Radi-
cal " measure to be defeated ? ,

SOUTHWARK.

The fluctuations of politics in Southwark are
endless. A fourth Liberal candidate has now come
forward. This is Sir Sydney Waterlow, who was
asked to stand the other day, but, as it was under-
stood, declined. He now accepts the invitation,
and his address is already out. Sir Sydney pronounces
for the Ballot; promises to agitate for readjusting the
basis of local taxation—that is, to make the richer
parishes help the poorer ; declares in favour of
throwing open the universities ; and in the matter of
the land will support a measure for securing to the
tenant farmer, on the determination of his tenancy,
full and ample compensation for improvements. There
are now in the field for Southwark Mr. Labouchere,
Sir F. Lycett, Sir Sydney Waterlow, and the as yet
impersonal working man's candidate.

MR. HOUSMAN, M.P.

The Right Hon. E. Horsman sketched out his
platform for the next session at a meeting of his con-
stituents at Liskeard on Thursday night. He pro-
nounced for a continuance of the policy of conciliation
to Ireland, so as to remedy the injustice of centuries.
The land laws must be modified ; but if Mr. Glad-
stone were to comply with the demands of Fenian
fhp :Fpnion yulgenera anti
ing fixity of tenure, the lite or L-roveniment would
not be worth three weeks' purchase after the assembling
of Parliament. Mr. Horsman expressed himself to
be in favour of compulsory secular education, because
it was national, and the only system that could reach
the mass of ignorance and crime. The last vestiges
of religious inequality must be destroyed by throwing
open the Universities to Dissenters.

CHARGE OF SIMONY AGAINST A
CLERGYMAN.

in the Court of Arches Sir Robert Phililmore, the Dean,
has had before him the case of Lee v. the Rev. J. J. Merest
for the removal of the defendant as vicar of Upton Snods-
bury, Worcester, on the ground of simony. The defendant
had pleaded guilty to an indictment for libel, uttered with
the intent to extort money. The defendant did not appear.
The Queen's Advocate (Sir Travis Twiss), Mr. Archibald,
and Mr. Conic appeared for the promoter, the secretary
of the Bishop of Worcester. The offence of simony
was laid under the 12th Anne, c. 11, section 2.
The evidence proved that the Rev. Murray Richard Work-
man purchased of the Rev. Mr. Donald, the patron and in-
cumbent of Upton Snodsbury, for £4OO, the next presen-
tation, and Mr. Merest, the defendant was soon afterwards
presented. Mr. Workman was examined in Court,
and the conveyance was produced. Afterwards a
disagreement took place between Mr. Workman and Mr.
Merest. A criminal preceding by the former against the
latter for a libel took place, and he pleaded guilty to an
indictment for threatening to extort money. Subsequently
Mr, Workman brought an action against Mr. Merest for
£350, and judgment was allowed by default. An execution
was issued, and only £5 was obtained. The
Queen's Advocate and Mr. Archibald addressed the
Court, and submitted that the case had been proved. His
lordship, who had remarked in the course of the case that
this case was the first instance under the statute of Anne,
said at the conclusion that he had no doubt on the case,
but from its great importance to the Church generally, he
would look Tito the matter, and give judgment on Monday
next.

FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.

(THIS DAY.)
This morning Captain Shaw reported to the
Metropolitan Board of Works nine tires that had
taken place during the past few hours. The fol-
loss ing, however, were only deserving of being pub-
licly recorded, the others being of a trifling cha-
racter :

About two o'clock this morning a fire of a very
destructive character, by which the lives of several
persons were jeopardised, happened in the extensive
toy manufactorylbelonging to Mr. J. B. Roby,
58, Driflield-road, Roman-road, Old Ford. The
flames originated in the basement from some un-
known cause, and rapidly extended to other rooms,
and finally broke through the roof. So rapidly did
the flames travel that the inmates had the greatest
difficulty in escaping, and as it was they were
nearly blinded with smoke. The engines and Lon-
don Salvage Corps quickly attended, and plenty of
water having been obtained from the East London
Company's main, the firemen succeeded in extin-
guishing the flames, but the premises and their con-
tents were for the greater part destroyed.
A fire of a calamitous character, unfortunately
attended with fatal consequences, happened in the
private residence of Mr. W. Smith, 6, Knights-
bridge-green. From all that can be learned, it
appears that a child named Alfred Simpson, aged
three years and two months, had been staying at
Mr. Smith's, and on Friday night was to sleep on
the sofa bedstead in the second floor back ; a fire
being left burning in the stove of the same room.
After some time the inmates were alarmed at finding
smoke issuing from the room in which the child was
sleeping. Search was immediately instituted, and
upon entering the room it was found that the sofa,
a portion of the flooring, the skirting, and a num-
ber of light articles were in flames, and the unfor-
tunate child was lying obscured by smoke on the
burning sofa. By a desperate effort some of the
persons rushed through the fire and heated smoke
and pulled out the child, but, unfortunately, it was
quite dead, having been suffocated, but not much
burned. The engines were soon on the spot, and
by the exertions of the firemen and plenty of water
the fire was prevented from reach►ng any other
parts of the building. It is supposed that a spark
flew out of the grate and lighting upon the sofa
caused the unfortunate occurrence.

BREAKFAST.— EPPS'S COCOA.— GRATEFUL AND COM-
FORTING. —Tlio very agreeable character of this prepata.-
tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service
Gazelle remarks : —" The singular success which Mr. Epps
attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa hasa
never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the
operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap-
plication of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills." Made simply with boiling water or milk.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS.

An application was made to -day in Vice-
Chancellor Malin's Chambers on behalf of Mr. C.
Evans that his name should be struck off the list of
contributories of the Imperial Land Company of
Marseilles. It appeared that he had been allotted 50
shares, that he had signed the memorandum of
association of the company, and that he sub-
sequently applied for 100 shares and received
the same; but according to applicant's statement
it was with the understaneing that the 50 shares
;3hould be merged and included therein. Mr.
GaskJl, from the firm of the solicitors for the
official liquidators, suggested that the application
should stand over And come on with other applica-
tions of a similar nature, ,and the Chief Clerk ordered
accordingly. The application inade last Thurs-
day to the Vice-Chancellor in court on the part of
the official liquidators of the company respecting
claims to the amount of £37,000, againet Messrs.
Albert Grant and Frederick Heritage, stands over
until Thursday, the Ist proximo.

Mr. Humphrey, having proved that his till was stolen on

with something and join the other prisoners, and then run
away. He went after the prisoners, but lost them; and
last ufght seeing Lamont took him back to the shop, when
he admitted having taken the till, and the other prisoners
were taken into custody by Sergeant Head, 2 E.

that they had been told by him to take the till, but that
the witness denied.

been to other shops in the neighbourhood and committed
robberies, which on inquiry he found to be true.

FIXITY OF TENURE.

Mr. Buxton, M.P., is an advocate of tenant-right in
Ireland ; and Mr. Buxton is an Irish landlord. The
hon. gentleman has got tenants on his land whom he
is content to allow to remain. Once upon a time, how-
ever, such was not the case ; and Mr. Buxton's oppo-
nents are pointing to his proceedings then as a practical
enunciation of the impracticability of his proposal.
In a work which Mr. Buxton has published he tells
the world that he bought his land, with a number of
small tenants upon it. The land was rich, but had
been and was being villainously treated ; it was un-
drained, and badly tilled. He tried to improve it, but
found the opposition of his small tenants too much for
him. So at last he determined to clear the
ground ; he bought out the tenants, they destroyed
their wretched hovels, and took their departure. He
then drained the land, put a Scotch farmer there,
and that farmer is now prospering. It is hard to see
where the story tells against Mr. Buxton. He " bought
off" his tenants; surely in so doing he acknowledged
their right to hold the land, unless they were com-
pensated for the loss.
