Mr.. Gladstone and the Irish Church.


In the British House of Commons on Friday
Mr. Gladstone stated that on the following
Monday he would offer a motion to the effect
that the House go into committee on the Irish
Church Establishment, adding that when it
was agreeable to the House and the Ministry
he would press the consideration of the ques-
ton. This looks like an unexpected move
after the withdrawal Of Mr.. Maguire's resolu
tions on Tuesday last. 1t reveals unquestion-
ably determination on the part of the opposi-
ton not as yet to give up the game, and to
press to an issue at least one portion of the
Irish question. 1t is quite possible, too, that
Mr.. Mcguire may have been induced by his
friends on the opposition benches to withdraw
his resolutions on the ground that they were not
sufficiently specific, and that they would raise
an issue which was dangerously broad.
Chances of success are certainly greater If one
question is dealt with at a time. Mr.. Glad
stone has decided to test the feeling Of the
House in regard to the Irish Church Establish
ment. Monday, therefore, will be great day
i'm the House of Commons Gladstone, we may
rest assured, will put forth all his strength. In
Disrael, however, he always finds foeman
worthy of his steel; and it remains to be seen
what tactics will be adopted by the Jew Prime
Minister in the circumstances.
On the last occasion Disraeli silenced the op-
position by threatening dissolution of Parlia-
ment. 1t is quite possible that Mr.. Gladstone
and his friends have considered this threat
in the interval, and that in their eyes it now
looks less formidable. A dissolution of Par
lament would certainly, in present circum-
stances, he attended with great Inconvenience.
II is in the last degree desirable that the
Scotch and Irish reform bills, both of which
have been introduced, should be carried
through before any appeal is made to the con-
stituency. A dissolution would of course ne
cessitate delay. It might even place the lib
erals in power. This, however, is not ALL
general election now would not obviate the ne
cessity of a general election early in 1869 for
30 soon as reform bills have passed for the
three kingdoms an opportunity must be given
to the people to elect their representatives. II
Is questionable, therefore, whether the threat
will be put in execution. Whatever incon-
venence would result from the dissolution
would be an inconvenience equally shared by
all parties-by tories and by liberals, by the
ministry and by the opposition alike. Mr.. Dis
raeli has, however, this advantage over his
opponents; he knows that there is large
number Of men who win do anything rather
than 60 through the expense Of general elec-
tion, with the certainty of another general
| election in the immediate future. Their fear
| fulness will be his gain. Disraeis is fertile
brain, and his next move will be watched with
| interest.

paoslslr MURDER IN THE eearIsra wAsu..

Last night about twenty minutes to eleven O'Clock
while otricer Hardy was patrolling his posi- his at-
tention was attracted by the cries Of man whe was
calling out "Heip, murder, watch" Following the
man who gave the alara to No. 500 East Seventeenth
street, he found man named William McNin, lyiEg
on the noor, suffering severely .fom q frIghtml
wound which he had received In tteower part Of tho
stomach. The injured mans bowels were protrud-
ing from the wound and he was sufrcring extreme
pain. The officer. ON making inquiries, ascertancd
that McNir had beeb boarding with his brother.in.
law John O'Shea, but short time since ne
had LEFT him owing o board bill !; that
last night NcNin, In company with hts
brother called st Osea's house for the purpose of
getting his trr INK, when alteration ensued be.
tween the pc rites, and Oshca II is said got hold u
large chb ell and plunged II into McNn,s stomach.
The once, arrested O'shea and brought him to the
station ouse, where he locked up for the night.
McNin was brought to q drug store, where hs

him entertains hope Of his recovery and says that
II fs impossible for him to live. When taken from

Conscience Money.

On Thursday ninety dollars of government
funds were transmitted to the Treasury through
a Catholic priest in Washington and duly cred
tied to the Conscience Fund" This fund
has received similar contributions from time
to time, until the aggregate sum amounts, we
understand, to two or three thousand dollars.
The lowest contribution has been fifty cents.
II is well when the restitution of but half
dollar il the consequence of an awakening of
conscience to a sense Of duty. But on what
principles Of moral philosophy can we account
for the striking fact that the most slightly bur-
dencd consciences are the most easily pricked?
How is it that we hear Of no restitution Of the
vast sums which have been accumulated within
the few past years by stockgamblers in Wall
street, by shoddy men of every degree, particu-
larly by those who sprang up like mushrooms
all over New England during the late war; by
the lucky adventurers who secured contracts
for horses, for guns for worthless steamers, for
last, but by no means least, by distillers and
dealers and internal revenue officers, who,
whether detected or not, are conscious of being
implicated in incalculable whiskey frauds?
Why are not the consciences of all these heavy
sinners pricked? Why don't they disgorge
their ill-gotten gains? So far, we have not
heard of single instance Of tender con-
science on their part The "Conscience
Fund" amounts to only two or three thousand
dollars, while two or three hundred millions
would not cover the losses which the Treasury
Of the United States has sustained on account
Of robberies on gigantic scale. II is obvious
that we cannot rely upon the conscience
Fund" alone for the payment of our national
debt

OF the treaties which have been concluded. 1t
matters but little to us which party is in power
if liberal and sensible policy is followed out
in regard to foreigners. 1t is reported at the
same time that Hiogo and Osaca had been de-
serted by the foreigners, and that vessel Of
war, supposed to be either French or American,
had been fired upon by the Japanese These
reports may mean no more than that in the
Tycoon's district the fighting was severe. We
require further information to clearly under

TIE NATURALIZATION QUESTION IN THE
HOUSE or COMMONS. the HERALD of yes
terday we gave an epitome Of the debate which
took place in the House of Commons on Fri
day on the question of naturalization as be-
tween England and America. II has been
manifest for some time that there was dispo-
sition on the part of British statesmen fairly
to consider the question, as IL affected their
own country and ours. The new treaty en-
tered into between North Germany and the
United States rendered it impossible for Great
Britain to hesitate as to her duty in the matter.
The debate, SO far as we are in possession Of
the speeches, seems TO have been conducted
with good taste and good feeling. The old
dogma Of absolute and indefeasi5le allegiance
is really obsolete, and not word during the
debate seems to have been uttered in its favor.
II cannot but be gratifying TO all to learn that
Lord Stanley and Mr.. Seward are already IN
communication on tho subject and that there

Of Genera Thomas in the Cabinet9 1t only
means, w suppose, that the President holds to
his construction Of the law, and that he does
not intendo plead guilty before the bar Of the
Senate. General Thomas, therefore, serves
his purpoc in the Cabinet, although as fifth

The Grea, Equinoc,ial snow storm.

The Great EquinociiaI snow storm.
The vernal equinoctial has not failed us this
time, but has given us blow and a fall of
snow without precedent in this latitude and
longitude, we believe, for twenty odd years
Within the margin of ten days-between the
10Th and 25th of March-we are apt to be
visited by one of these equinoctial storms, and
particularly as the winding up of rough
winter. That of Friday night last Ito say moth
ing of Saturday. extended over a vast range
of country, and was the result of the natural re-
action in the elements from the preceding warm
spell and the summer-like hurricanes which
lately swept over the West, from the great
plains to the Alleghanies and along the lakes
to Buffalo and Toronto. In noticing our tele-
graphic weather reports from time to time from
the several cities between Fortress Monroe
and this point we have observed that our heavy
nor'easters throughout the year have their
origin near the Capes of Virginia or Cape Hat
teras and ride northward on an upper cur
rent of air, and that the undercurrent from the
opposite direction is analogous to the wind
which rushes backward on both sides of
passing railway train. Displaced in front, the
air rushes to fill up the vacuum left behind.
Our theory is that the projection of the At
lantic coast known as Cape Hatteras Chat
stormy cape) is the dividing point between the
system of rains and storms of the States below
and of those above, and that all our great
nor'east storms strike inland from the Gulf
Stream at or near Cape Hatteras, and
are with few exceptions wholly inde-
pendent of the system of storms of the
seaboard section south of Wilmington, North
Carolina. At all events, from the observations
we have made we are satisfied that if ''those
who go down to the sea in ships" from New
York are informed by telegraph that north
easterly storm is in full blast this morning at
Fortress Monroe, they may be sure it will be
here in the course of the night A heavy storm
of this character travels at the rate of some
twenty-five miles an hour. Our seafaring men
have learned something of late years of the
value of the telegraph in regard to coming
storms; but, from our observations, we sub
NIT that the telegraph by the shipping interest
along the Atlantic coast, if properly employed,
might be made so effective as to render our
coasting trade at least perfectly safe against
the dangers of the elements.
