Interesting Foreign News.

The conflict between the people and
the British House of Lords continues,
and things begin to look decidedly
revolutionary. Hereditary legislation
in Great Britain is doomed. A late
London dispatch says: .... ...
The die is cast, and the struggle is be-
gun. The Lords and the country will
finally come to an issue in consequence
of the abrupt determination of the de-
bate last night. Intense excitement
prevailed among the political circles
during the day. The Cabinet has been
in session all the afternoon. and a re-
port is atloat that great dissension exists
in the Council Mr.. Gladstone, Bright.
Lomcs, and all the strongest members
insist on an immediate withdrawal of
the Irish Church bill Oh the ground Of
the obstinate resistance of the Peers to
the principles which render direct
conflict between the two Houses of
Parliament inevitable. Some members
of the Cabinet, Lord Clarendon among
the number, advocated more moderate
proceedings, such as letting the bill take
its course, and only abandoning it at
the last moment.
The insulting language used by Mr..
Salisbury toward Mr.. Gladstone, joined
to the large majority cast against the
preamble, however, show that all at
tempts to effect a compromise useless
There is little doubt but Mr.. Gladstone
will carry his point Of Withdrawing the
bill Immediately. This will be follow
ed by the speedy adjournment, calling
another session in August and creating
Il large batch of new peers, sufficient
in number to overcome the present
Tory majority. -
Placards have been posted on the
walls to-day headed, "Shall the People
or the Lords Rule" and calling mass
meeting at Aurcndel Hall for to-mor-
row. This will be followed by mon
ster demonstration.

A Southern National Party.

Some Of our Southern exchanges are
advocating the organization of a Sou
thern national party. Nonsense Sup
pose there should be organized Nor
thern national party, Western nation
tal party, an Eastern national party, a
Pacific national pary-what sort of
InatioRal party would be the result p
Each section would have its own ideas
about national policy, and then would
follow general smash-up of nationali-
ity oil round. The old Democratic par
,ty was national enough, and the Repub-
lican party is trying to become so.-
Either of the parties may become ma
tional enough for all practical purposes
by the time of the next Presidential
election, and it is idle for the South to
attempt to set up national party on
its own hook.

The second largest dairy in America
is located about four miles from St.
Louis. There are 500 cows im the sta
Bile. They are attended by Swiss cow
mixers. The chief food used is ground

A Deserved Rebuke.

The Philadelphia 1ge relates the cir
cumstances of most severe but right.
eous rebuke administered a few weeks
ago by Judge Chase, sitting as Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, to Attor-
ney General Hoar. The way of it Is
stated to have been this Hardly had
Hoar prostitutcd the position which a
Stanberry and an Evarts had virtuously
filled, before it became his duty to APP
pear in the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States In the progress of speech
by him, the venerable Justice Nelson
enquired: "What is the page Of the
authority you arc quoting, Mr.. Attor-
ney-General ?" To which the man
whom cX-General Grant gave CalsI
net place in exchange for a library, re-
piled: MAY it please the court, de-
cline to be interrupted in my argu-
ment." Whereupon the Chief Justice,
assuming upon his younger shoulders
tile atfront directed at his associate and
incidentally rehectirg upon the whole
bench, brought the Massachusetts at
torncy to his knees at once by saying :
"Mr. Attorney-Gcneral, you will cease
in your argument for the present.
This court, as you will learn when you
have become used to its amenities, re-
serves the right to question at any time
any of irs cOunscllOrs on any point
whatever. Your rcjoinder to the ques-
ton Of my associate is inadmissable
and when you have apologized to the
court for language which we must say
was never head here before, you may
proceed, but not until that is donc."--
Whereupon the legal bully collapsed
and meckly begged pardon, which it
was pleased to allow.

Libel Suits.

We clip the following from the Lou
isville Courier-./oufnal: "n
We never before knew the prosecu-
tion Of newspape publishers for libel
so brisk as it has been in the last year.
A considerable number of people seem
to have gone into the business of bring
ing libel.suits AS Il regular vocation,
trying to fatten their bodies out of the
alleged proceeds of damages sustained
by their characters. The calling, though
undoubtedly well followed, is proving
very unthrifty one. 1t falls two thou
sand per cent. short of paying expenses.
Up to this time we have not known, out
of probably forty cases, "a single one in
which the prosecutor did not have to
pay the costs. The lesson will proba-
bly, be well understood pretty soon
that libel-suits are beggarly business,
whether the prosecutor is in pursuit of
money or character.
We will add, that the Court House is
the last place where man who has
been damaged ought to so to seek re-
pairs.

Martial Law Threatened.

We copy the following dispatch from
the Nashville Banner and invite special
attention to it:
CLARKsvILLE, July 22.-Stokes lead
in the discussion to-day. There was
good attention from a large audience.
He read letter from Boutwell, indors-
ing him. He declared in favor of q
convention. He said, ''Senter and l
stand in favor of a convention" He
threatens national interference and mar
tial law in Tennessee. Senter made an
able speech. He was very hard on
Stokes, and occupied the same position
OH the franchise as at Memphis and
other places. lie said he did not care
who indorscd Stokes. Nothing but
Divine Intervention could defeat him,
and he had no idea Providence was on
Stokes side. Senter said Stokes invok-
ed the Federal support, while he (Sen-
ter) asked it from the people of Tennes-
see. He denounced in severe terms
Stokes martial law threat. .......
Secretary Boutwell,, who indorses
Stokes, has large influence in Massa.
chusetts, and will probably give the
Colonel some strength in that Stste.-
Every man in Tennessee, white or
black, ought to vote against Stokes, if
for no other reason, because Of his
threat of "national interference and
martial law" He's pretty bird to be
talking about such things.

See Hero. StOI1nrS.

The New York Trtbune says, edito-
rally: The President, we need hardly
state, has had no part nor lot in the pro-
posed nomination of his relative, Judge
Dent, for Governor of Mississippi
Whether Judge Dent is a conservative
Republican,, Radical, or no Republic
can at all, makes no shadow of difference.
The President has taken no part in the
election of Governors by the people of
the respective States, and is very un-
likely to take any. The effort of Rod
erick Random Butler to run the Admin
istration in the interest of Stokes is a
failure.

paragraph:

Texas.

We, and others, have been mistaken
in saying that the test-oath and disfran-
chising clauses are to be voted on in
Texas. The constitution, framed by the
Texas convention, contains no such
clauses. The question will be direct
and simple: For the Constitution, or
-4gaiast it.. 1t will be adopted without
serious opposition, and the more con-
servative of the candidates before the
people will almost certainly be elected
to administer it. And the persons
elected are likely to be more conserva,
tive after the election than they are now

Editor Post: write not because /

the, minds of the Athenians aud the
PEOPLE of the country generally. They
are enormously impressed that Sulphur
Springs is the hottest place in the whole
country. I have been spending thelatc

that it isa cooler place by at least six
degrees than Athens, or any town along
the Railroad. Common sense will teach
this to any one who has ever attended
these Springs during this season of the
year. 1t is true the town is low, but tho
country surrounding is also low, and
there is no mountain or hill near
enough to obstruct the cool breezcs
which come sweeping mp the valley.

alarming effect in the country around
Dalton, in the northern part of the
State. Cattle die in the woods and
fields after very short illness, and if
some remedy is not discovered the peo-
pie will neither have work stock or

violent purgative remedies have been
suggested by various persons as sure
cures, but an early death is the only re-

A Popularity of the Knttlesnal1e.

1t is well known that the rattlcsnake
is the most dangerous Of all poisonous
serpents. 1t is not strange, therefore,
that its instincts should teach it that all

deer also, and the hog, arc ever eager
to destroy its life: the first by cutting
it up by jumping upon it With its sharp
hoofs, and the second eating it whole
sale. an operation not very agreeable to
his snakeship. 1t is not to be wondered
at, then, that the rattlcsnake should ever

it should always sleep with one eye
