1G"ThcSpringfcld Republican med
dies with our Vermont politics as fol-
lows:
The opposition to Representative
Woodbridge grows more Interestingly
active and pronounced. Although
some of his friends have risen in his lie

could better represent the first district
than its present incumbent, and that as
surely some one else will.

record as Il specimen of heightened
journalism, sound logic, and purity OF
diction.

cratic State Central Committee have adj
iourned. The following were chosen
delegates at large to the National Con
vention: Gen. John B. Gordon, Absalom
Il. Chappell, B. H. Hill, Henry 7. Fitch.
The committee recommend a District
Convention on the 3lst of March, to
nominate candidates to Congress and
delegates to the National Convention.
The Committee adopted resolutions
animadverting upon the unconstitutional
acts of Congress and its effort to estab-
lish negro supremacy in the South, but
provides against such a contingency as
befell Alabama. They urge Democrats
to vote at the Apr! election, and recon-.
mend Augustus Reese as candidate for

FOREIGN.

LONDON, March ID, midnight.-In the
House Of Commons tonight motion was
made requesting the Government to fur
nish the papers in the blsckade-running
Springboke case.
The Lord Mayor explained that the
imprisonment Of Mr.. Johnson, an Orange
Secretary in ireland, was caused by his
refusing to apologize for heading an
illegal procession.
Ina Committee of the Whole on the
state Of Ireland, Mr.. Forteschue said that
reform in Ireland was possible without
disturbing the land tenure, but held that
church reform needed frank dealing.
Mr.. Keona thought that the new Uni-
versity plan was the governmental pledge
of future equality Of religious sects in
ireland. f agl .ff 5000 rda
Mr.. O'Dopahue, member of Tralce,
said that disaffection among the Irish was
widespread and had reached all classes,
and paralyzing trade. The Church and
land questions were leading causes
of discontentment; but the principal
cause was the refusal Of independence
in legislation. The first remedies should
be to deprive the Irish Church
establishment of its endowments, and
grant to tenants leases of not less dura.
ton than thirty one years. Hamilton
charged O'Donahue with being an or
ganizer of mock funerals in honor OF
assassins. John Bright said that the
evil of absenteeism and the injustice of
the church establishment were not the
only faults. Tenants require propri-
etory rights. The scheme proposing that
the Government advance money for their
relief was impracticable, as the owner
ship of soil could only make the land the
peoples. The proposition made by the
Ministers for the creation of great
savings bank was inadequate. The plan
of Lord Russell for the settlement of the
church question came too late. He said
endowm ents must be withdrawn from all
religious sects to make loyal and moral
people. Stafford Northcote immedi-
ately followed with very lengthy
speech in defense of the Government
