THE HAREAs CORPUS ACROSS THE

The latest English files represent that .
special session Of Parliament was held
on the 18th of February, to take into con-
sideration the Fenian troubles. Earl Rus
sell in the House of Lords, and Sir George
Grey in the House of Commons, both In
the Ministry, proposed the suspension Of
the Habeds Corpus act in Ireland for a
limited t;Bien
When the question was raised in the
House Of Lords Earl Derby said il would be
for the Government to justify the course it
was about to take If the House of Com
mons agreed to the proposal he would NOT
interpose moments delay, but he hoped
that at the earliest possible moment the Govern
nssnt tuOuld state The grounds on srhieh they re-
lied for the justification Of their proceedings
Pending the passage ofthe bill in the Com
mons authorizing the suspension of the writ,
Mr.. John Bright protested against it, but
said he would not oppose the Government.
The act was suspended, however, by nearly
unanimous vote in both Houses.
We do not know the real extent of the
danger to the integrity of the British Empire
to be apprehended from the Fenian move
rnent nor do we feel at present any special
interest in preserving its integrity. The OBJ
ject in calling attention to these proceedings,
is to note the watchful jealousy with which
the English Parliament is disposed to guard
this great buIwark Of freedom against in
fringement. The bill only asked for sus-
pension for limited time, and even that met
the opposition oftwo of the most distinguished
members of each House; in the one, of
Earl DERBY the tory chief and alleged
sympathizer with the South in our recent
conflict and in the other, of JOHN BRIGHT,
the brilliant and courageous liberal, and
during the war an avowed friend of the
North and of the Government.
1t seems that there, even on the threshold
Of rebellion requiring for its suppression
SO extreme measure as the suspension of
the hGbeds corpus, great leaders of conflicting
parties in the British parliament can concur
in demanding reasons why il should be done,
and that the duration of this lapse of in
dividual freedom shall be limited In noting
it, we can but mark the contrast presented in
this country, and fervently hope thatthe day
is not distant when thegovernment shall fifty
recognise the suppression of the late rebel
lion, and crown its work by restoring the
privilege of the habeaS corpus.

The Evans.NewIsnd Tragedy.

Special Dispatch to the Louisville Courier.l
INDIANAPOLIS, March Ga horrible ira
gedy occurred in Bedford last night 1t
seems that Prof M. Evans, in. regard TO
whom there was some scandal a short time
ago, had seduced daughter of DR.. Ben.
Newland. The Doctors daughter had been
off at boarding school, when her condition
became SO apparent that she was sent home,
where she has confded all to her father.
The Doctor took his pistol and one of his
dissecting knives and went to Evans house.
The latter was not at home. Newland took
a hunt for him and found him in the street,
when ne shot him down and then cut him in
pieces with the knife. Evans was minister
of the Christian Church, and man who at
one time occupied a high position, and is
we'll known as the author of work entitled
"The Pioneer Preachers" of Indiana. At
one time he occupied chair in the North
western Christian University of this city.

The proposition of Mr.. Shurz, heretofore
referred to in our dispatches, embraces a more
general plan than was at first supposed. He
designs establishing line Of steam emigrant
ships, to run between New York and the
Hanoverian port of Mostmunde, the ves-
sells to be constructed with special view to
the comfort of emigrants, the plans of which
have been approved by some of our most
successful ship-builders. 1t is in connection
with this project that Mr.. Shurz desires the
Government TO issue land scrip for sale in
Europe, to induce immigration. Mr.. Shurr
was formerly the Prussian General Consul in
Brazil, and comes to this country Endorsed
by Mr.. Judd, our Minister at Berlin; Mr..
Fay, late o. S. Minister in Swift erland /;
Herman Krisman, Secretary of Legation at
Berlin, and other distinguished persons.

THE "organ" announces in one paragraph
that Hon. John w. Smith, Senator from
Shelby, stated to gentleman Of this city
that one hundred thousand dollars would be
raised in Memphis to defeat the franchise
bill now pending in the Legislature" and
in another that the same "Hon. John w.
Smith" was a candidate for county Judge at
the recent election and was badly beaten,
only receiving ITO votes out of 276l.
The latter paragraph explains the hrst.
The people of Shelby have a poor opinion
of their Senator, and their Senator has n
poor opinion of his people. The sentiment
is mutual. But notwithstanding this the
honorable Senator viii persist in holding his
seat in the Legislature Such rebuke is
nothing with Radical" His oficdis, not
to represent but to mis-represent his con-
stituents.

GENTLEMEN: Attention has been called
to an item in your paper, which states that
the slave trade between Georgia and Cuba
has been reopened that large number Of
freed people had passed down the Savannah
river, en- route, and that one steamer had
taken cargo direct TO Cuba from this
place.
General Tillson authorizes and requests
yeu to contradict this statement, as careful
investigation Of rumors of this kind shows
that there is no truth in it. Only two or
three parties of freed people have been sent
down the river--one Of these went on the
the steamers r. II Nay and UEion-neither
of which went to Cuba; the other parties
all went to plantations in Georgia, rear the
river, and this side Of Savannah.

Commanding Station Of Grenada, Miss.
This is a dispatch purporting to have
been received by the Governor of this State
a few dir,s since, and the friends of the
Governor represent themselves as alarmed
for fear his life may be taken by violence.
OF course the dreadful deed is expected at
the hands Of malignant rebel and still
further ofoourse this Is to be cited as evidence
before the Obstruction Committee that the
Southern people are still obstinately rebel
lious and wicked, and are hungering and
thristing for the blood Of the saints"
We are utterly at q loss to know how to
to treat this supremely ridiculous story. To
say either that one does not believe il, or
that the authors brain is added with fear,
or that he Is crazy for notoriety, or that he
is knave, or that he is a simpleton, is but
a feeble mode of describing the intense alb
surdity of the thing Not knowing Capt.
HUNTER, wo do not choose to apply epithets
TO him however, or TO any one who believes
or prctends TO believe that any human being
conte>plates Gov. BRowSLow's assassina-
ton. Such people are objects only Of pity.
We may add, however, that such mode
Of manufacturing political capital viii fail.
The device Is zoo shallow to deceive any one.
A very large majority Of this people are yet
sane, and have healthy aversion to sensa-
tional horrors Of this sort. The men who
attempt to stimulate the public pulse with
such stories should be ashamed ofthemselves.
Gov. BRowNIow's life Is, in our opinion, as
safe as IL he were the mild-mannered, judi
cious, sensible sad popular Chief Magistrate
he should be.
