The Irish Church Debate in the House OF
Lords-Thc Fate Of Ecclesiastical Esrab-
lishments.
After a debate which may be said to have
lasted an entire week, which has called forth
the talent of the Lords and which has CON-
manded the attention of the civilized world,
the Ministerial bill which seeks the disestab-
lishment and dsendowment of the Irish Pro-
testant Church establishment has been carried
through the second reading by majority OF
thirty-three. Since the passing Of the first
Reform bill no such scenes of stirring excite
ment have been Witnessed in the House Of
Lords. On every night Of the debate the gal
leries of the House have been filed with dis
tinguished commoners, with peeresses, with
princes Of the blood royal. Itwas everywhere
felt that the question at issue was much larger
than it seemed; that it involved not only
the fate of the Irish Church establish
ment, but the fate of Church estab-
lshments generally, and in q very special
sense the constitutional rights and privileges
of the House Of Lords. On both sides Of the
House the speaking has been able the con-
servatves have fought ably and well but a.
the age is on the side of liberal principles the
arguments throughout have been in favor of
the Ministerial position. The bill has thus 90
far progressed favorably; but as II has yet to
pass through committee and be read third
time its success as whole measure Is yet
doubtful. II is manifest, from the spirit mani
tested by the conservative peers, that vigor-
Gus effort will be made seriously TO modify the
bill. Disestablishment has not been 30 much
doubt that in committee the clauses relating
to disendowment and to the distribution OF the
church property will be considerably modified.
In such case the bill will be sent back to the
Commons and the question then will be,
How will the Commons act?
In discussions on this Irish Church question
in the public journals and in the speeches OF
some Of the peers reference has frequently
been made to the parallel situation Of the
Lords In 1872. AS the situation then was
really strikingly analogous to the present, and
as we have not seen 1t anywhere properly pre-
sented, we reproduce 1t for the benefit Of our
readers. Then, as now, great liberal mea-
sure had been carried by the Commons. Then,
as now, the Lords threatened to rebel and did
rebel The Reform bill had been carried tri-
umphantly through the House Of Commons.
Without delay 1t was sent up TO the Lords, by
whom II was read o FIRST time. On the second
reading, however, which took place October
9, 1881, il was thrown out by majority Of
forty-one. The Commons replied by passing
vote Of confidence in the Ministry by a
majority OF one hundred and thirty-one.
Parliament was prorogued for the purpose Of
introducing another Reform bill. On the 9Th
of December, same year, Parliament reassem-
bled. On the 18th Of December the Reform
BILL slightly modified, was reintroduced In the
| Commons. Having passed through oil its

War Among the Newspapers.

A little republican sheet of this city, which
assumes ''to shine for all" and which is owned
by and represents certain leading radicals of
this State, in and out of Congress, has taken
surprising warlike attitude against both the
administration and its radical contemporaries.
Its editor was all along one of the most ad-
vanced and bitter republican partsans, and at
one time was prominent colaborer with the
party editors he now mercilessly assails. His
former friend and fellow worker, Greeley, he
sneers at and ridicules in refreshing style, as
the godfather of the republican party, and for
the bran bread and other theories and isms
for which that distinguished radical editor is
famous. He is severe on the Miss Nancy class
of political writer's and leaders, and in fact,
strikes all round upon the active and promi-
nent republicans. Nor is there any harmony
among the other radical newspapers or SYM
pathy with the administration. An incipient
war has commenced, indicating the breaking
up of the republican party and the fall Of Gen.
eral Grants administration. This is the more
apparent from the fact that the particular
newspaper referred to is owned by and the
organ of one of the United States radical Sena-
tors from New York and other leading radical
politicians of the State. We need not inquire
here into the cause Of this party newspaper
war and war on the administration. 1t may
be disappointment in the distribution Of the
spoils, or it may be sort Of preparation for
new political shuttle and deal with regard to
the future. At all events it is significant
sign of the times. 1t shows that there Is no
principle or friendship in politics, and that
there is no cohesion among party editors but
that of office and the spoils.

The swedenborsian Convention.

The fftieth annual Convention Of the Swe-
denborgan Society was adjourned yesterday
after q session Of four days duration in this
city. The proceedings, which have been re-
ported in our columns, were Of an exhaustive Q
and interesting character, so far as the efforts
Of the different speakers in review and incul-
cation Of the peculiar afiirmations and tenets
Of the philosopher and religio-literateur are
concerned. Following his example, although
at great distance, the members Of the Con-
vention came forward with q consider
able amount Of philanthropy, evidently
initiating his well balanced mind
with its fine blending of poetry, science and
devotional feeling. A little more material,
however, in accordance with the spirit of the
present day, perhaps, the cash accounts were
closely scrutinized and '1egacy funds" only
noticed. Less conhding In the directing mo-
tives Of mere mortality than was swedenborg,
the members came very near to giving the lie
direct in contradiction 10 report from the
brethren In Lsporte, Indiana. The examina-
ton and translation Of swedenborgian manu.
scripts, both in England and Sweden,
have been carried on with energy and
perseverance,, and general work Of
considerable utility accomplished In this
direction. The Church was evidently divided
during the election for members Of the diff
ferent executive committees for the ensuing
year on the question Of ''rebel" and "Union"
men-a point which, to say the least, appears
slightly unchristian in spirit, particularly when
urged at a period Of time so long subsequent
to the close Of the war. The adjournment was
voted In excellent harmony and the members

Exposition of Fine Arts at Paris.

Two encouraging features have marked the
Fine Arts Exhibition at the Palais de rIndus-
trie, which formed the subject of letter from
our Paris correspondent in yesterdays
HERALD. The first is the fact that in the
distribution Of prizes the young generation is
justly triumphant. Out of the forty medals
eighteen have been received by artists who
have hitherto never attained this honor; five
by artists who won prizes in 1867; six by the
m6daiNes Of 1866; three by those of 1865;
two by those of 1864; one by the winner of
prize in 1868; one by another in 1861 three
by medaiues Of 1857, and one only by any from
among those who were rewarded before 1857.
1t is manifest both that old fogies in art can no
longer monopolize its honors and that rising
pleiad of artists Is about to illuminate France
1t is earnestly to be hoped that the new aspi-
rants for renown in French art, while preserv-
ing all the thoroughness and finish in execu-
ton which has distinguished their immediate
predecessors, will infuse q spirit and power
into their works, life-blood Of thought and
sentiment vainly to be sought for in the most
exquisite productions of many celebrated
French painters, who have yielded to the in
auences of the materialism aud luxury of the
age.
A second encouraging feature Of the exhibi-
ton has been the extraordinarily large num-
ber of lady exhibitors, one of whom-Mlle.
Nellie Jacquemart-has been cordially recog-
nized as entitled to the front rank among liv-
ing portrait painters. The success of this
lady, like that of Rosa Bonheur, will very
properly stimulate many young women Of
taste, culture and genius to enter upon q
career at once more fascinating, profitable and
honorable than various other untried paths
less clearly within ''woman's sphere" but to
which injudicious advisers, of the strong
minded class, are inviting their ambition.
THE GREAT Works OF THE DAY.-The King
Of Greece, in his speech opening the session Of
the new legislative chambers in Athens, threw
out the idea Of an important public work by
recommending the cutting Of ship canal
through the Isthmus of Corinth. Inferior
both In magnitude and consequences to the
Suez canal, the effecting Of navigable pas
sage through the Isthmus OF Corinth would pro-
duce consequences Of much utility to COM
merce, besides aiding the great movement
towards o closer communion Of the peoples
and nations, which has been going on since the
moment that steam was first made subsidiary
agent Of civilization. The Isthmus of Corinth
unites the Morea with Attica, between the
gilfs Of Corinth and Egina. II is narrow, and
the proposed work would be of comparatively
easy accomplishment. When completed IL
would facilitate trade and travel to and in the
south Of Europe, European Turkey and the
adjacent countries. AS this Is the age Of

A NEEDLE ON IRIS TRAVELS.


A lady in this city, a year or two ago,
had the misfortune to step upon needle,
which penetrated her foot so deeply that
she was unable to extract it. For time
she experienced no trouble from it, but
after time she began to feel sensation
Of pain in her limb, which she feared was
symptoms of rheumatism. The sensation
continued to ascend the limb until it
reached her knee, when it became quite
painful for time, and then seemed to as
cend higher, but causing less pain. A few
days ago, while lifting clothes boiler, she
pressed the side Of her thigh against the
boiler, when she experienced such acute
pain that she almost let fall the boiler.
Upon examination she discovered on her
thigh an eruption of the cuticle, similar
to ringworm. and upon pressing the spot
with her hand the point of needle pro-
truded, which her daughter seized with
a pair of tweezers, and with a sudden
jerk, drew an entire needle from her
mothers thigh. We have frequently read
Of similar cases, but were always some
what incredulous on the subject. These
facts were related to us by the husband
Of the lady, and knowing him to be an
honest and truthful man, we have no
doubt of the story.--EyaRsvllle (Lnd.)

The Princess Anne, Negro EEuete-
Winding Up of the Riot.
As soon as the news of the recent diff
Guilty on the Baxter farm reached Gen.
Stoneman, he dispatched Lieut.. Col. Cars
rick Mallory down to this city to inveSti-
gate the matter, and he arrived here on
Friday night. On Saturday morning
Col. Mallory, accompanied by Lieut..
Rogers, commandant of the post, and DIR.
Williamson, rode out to the farm for the
purpose Of conducting an examination in
person.
On arriving at the scene Of disturbance,
the parties found the bodies of the three
negroes, killed on Thursday, still I'M
buried, and hearing that extensive pre-
parations were being made for a grand
procession to take place at their funeral
on Sunday, and fearing that trouble
might ensue if the programme was to be
carried out, Col. Mallory concluded, to
save trouble, and ordered the bodies to
be buried Immediately, which was done.
As an additional precautiOn against
any breach of the peace, Col. Mallory
ordered company A, 9th United States
artillery, recently arrived from Rich
mond, to be quartered for the present on
the Wise farm.
From the behavior of the negroes on
this farm some days ago, it was feared
that trouble might arise in attempting to
get possession Of the plantation, the
negroes refusing to leave the farm or to
make contracts. saying that the govern
ment had placed them upon the planta-
ton, and they would remain until re-
moved by it.
On Saturday they were in a more
tractable humor, and after expressing
contrition for their previous con~
duct, came forward in a number
of instances and made contracts for
the year. To those who did not desire
to remain, permission was given to Occu~
py their houses, rent free, until the first
of April. They all state that they had
been misled by specs Hodges and
other incendiary negroes, who ex-
ercise a controlling interest ia that
region. 1t is also stated that Hodges is
concealed in the city, fearing the effects of
his incendiary conduct the past week.

his movements and will keep look OFT

THE CONDITION OLE TEXAS.

Governor Pease, of Texas, has
written a letter sustaining the report
of Gen. Reynolds, as to the lawless
condition of some sections of the
State, expressing a conviction that
a fair election cannot, at present, be
held in that Commonwealth, and
suggests that Congress be asked to
clothe the convention with legisla-
tive powers, and transfer the APP
pointing power from the military
commander to the Provisional Gov
ernor. In noticing this letter, the
New Orleans Crescent says: 1.-THE
simple truth is, that what is called
the lawless condition of Texas, is
the direct and necessary result Of the
despOtism which has been fastened
on the State in fragrant defiance of
the rights and wishes of the people.
Carpet-baggers and scalawags, pro
tected by bayonets and bullets. have
usurped Office and authority, and
have got together convention, I'M
der the reconstruction acts, to form
a constitution by which a small
minority of profigate adVenturers
shall be secured in the possession Of
political power. In the meantime,
the civil officers chosen under the
laws ofthe State, have been removed,
and military commander has used
all of his power for the purpose of
expressing and worrying the people.
The cure for these evilsis to remove
their cause; and their cause is the
policy of Congress, pushed to a
ruthless extreme by military tyrants
:nl vagabond 1oilists.'"

ANECDOTE OFrHOs #. MARSHALL

The Hon. Thos. f. Marshall, of Ken
lucky, once a prince of good fellows, was
defending man charged with murder
in Jessamine county, Judge Lusk pres
siding. The testimony against the pris>
oner was strong, and Tom struggled hard
on the cross examination, but to little
purpose, for the old Judge was inflexible
in his determination TO rule out oil i'm
proper evidence offered on the part Of the
defence. At last Tom worked himself
into high state of excitement, and re-
marked that - esus Christ was convicted
upon Just such rulings of the court that
tried him"
CLERK" said the Judge, enter a fine
of ten dollars against Mr.. Marshall"
well this is the first time / ever
heard of anybody being fined for abusing
Pontius Plate" was the quick response
of Tom.
Here the Judge became very indignant,
and ordered the clerk to enter another
fine of twenty dollars.
Tom arose with that peculiar, mirth-
provoking expression that no one can
initiate, and addressed the court with as
much gravity as circumstances would per-
NIT, as follows

zen, | feel bound to obey the order of this
