The DEFEAT OF THE BRITISH MIN.
INFRV

The = tenure OF Office Of the British MINIS
Try, headed by Disraeli, is likely TO be a short
one The cable brought rhe intelligence on
Saturday OF the defeat. of the Ministry IN the
great contest between the Tories and the Lib
erals Oh the IRISH Church question. A later
dispatch states that the Ministry will probably
resign IN view of this decisive defeat In an
appeal 10 the country the Tory party can
hardly expect TO gam strength in Parliament in
view OF the enlarged constituency provided
under the Reform Bill.
This triumph Of the Wing and radical coali-
ton under Gladstone Is significant of the
steady progress OF liberal reform ideas in Eng
land; and the Irish Church question is but the
inItiatory measure of the budget of reform
bills the liberals propose to bring forward in
thIs Parliament. The established church in
Ireland was the chief grievance of the IRISH
people. Less than one-ninth of them are Epis-
copalians, yet the clergy Of this small fraction
receive the entire ecclesiastical revenues Of the
Kingdom; including the ancient endowments
of the IRISH Catholic Church. and the state
grants OF modern times. Even the university
sustained By the government has tests for the
conscience Of lis students which exclude
Catholics from ats advantages and honors.
In the debate the Liberals showed conclu
siyely that the established church has been I'M
fruitful as missionary evangelism. is I'M
genial TO the soil, disproportIonste to the re-
sources OF the island, and a source of ill-will
and discomfort, If not a '.badge Of serfdom," TO
the inhabitants Their deduction was that inn
mediation action was demanded, and the
House, by sixty majority, declared that the
motion to postpone should be rejected, and that
what the London nA>s terms the "cancer of
the empire-the Irish Church-shall be re-.
moved"
The next move Of the Liberals in regard to
Irish affairs will probably be to reform the op-
Pressive land laws Of Ireland.

Resolutions Adopted by the
Democratic State COnVen-
fiOn of West Virginia.

l. ResoLued That we approve the platform OF
the National Democratic Convention lately as.
sembled in New York, as the true exponent OF
our political principles and pledge our hearty
and united support to the nominees OF That
Convention for the offices OF President ana vice
President of the United States.
. Resolred, That we demand of the Leg:sla-
ture of this State reduction Of the useless
swarm of officers with which we are infested,
and such other measures of economy. retreneh.
mept and reform as will reduce the burthen of
State and local taxation, which Is tXhausting
the substance of our people.
g. tResolUed, That we demand the reform OF
the present system of registration as unust,
oppressive upon the people, and at variance
with the fundamental principles of free govern
ment.
4. ReSolUed, That we denounce the Radical
paI ty of this State, because, with view OF
their own power, they have re-
fused to permit the people to elect their own
Registers and have vested the power of appoint
ment and removal in the Governor, so that the
INSCRIPTIONS purposes Cf the party may be bet.
ter accomplished; and because with the same
view they have by recent legislation relieved
their Registers, thus unfairly and improperly
elected, from either civil or criminal respCnsi.
bility, for even willfIl and corrupt violation Of
duty.
). Resolved, That while we are willing to &C:
cord to the negro the full measure OF legal
rights, with ample protection of person and
property, we are unalteraSly, opposed to negro
looking to that end =,
6. ReSOlUed That we denounce the Radical
party for having, through its representatives in
Congress by the passage of certain military re-
construction bills declared null and VOID the
Government of Virginia, which formed the
State of West Virginia, thereby denying the
legal existence of our new State.
