A public pecting was held in London last
night, under Tory management, to protest
against the passage of the bill fer the discs
tablishmnt OF the Irish Church. The au
dieuce was large, and many Conservative
peers were present, together with members Of
the House of Commons. Resolutions were
adopted strongly condemning Gladstone's bill,
and calling upon the House of Lords to reject
or materially alter it.
The recall of Mr. Edward De Stoeckl, Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Pienipotentiary

A mass meeting OF the citizens was held in

FLOWERS AND FRUIT FOR THE SIcK-An
arrangement has been made by a young lady Of
This city, by which fresh flowers and fruit from
the country can be distributed among the sick
and poor, who are sadly in need of such re-
ireshment and comfort Many persons who
have gardens, or who live where wild flowers
can be gathered, would gladly send to the city
hospitals, and to the weary and suffering in the
city, if they knew how to reach them. This
plan makes the way easy. Every Monday and
Thursday morning, from to II clock, begin
ming Monday, May 10, the chapel of the Hollis
street church will be open TO receive contribu.
tons of flowers or fruit. This chapel is selec-
ted because it is near to the railroad stations,
and convenient for this purpose. The division
OF the city into districts, and the systematic
visiting Of these districts through the winter by
members Of charitable associations, have made
it easy to know where these gifts will be most
acceptable, and all that are sent will be prompt
ly distributed. Boston Adrertiser.

Some of the prominent Radical journals ut
the North continue to censure in the strongest
terms, the appointments to Office, made by
the President, or authorized by him. This, as
a general rule, would be to u.s. prima tacte evil
deoce that the appointments were moi SO bad
rs represented. But, unfortunately. for the
administration, these Radical papers bring
such proofs OF the utter un6tness of many Of
the appointees Tor the stations they are to fill,
that there is no getting over them.

The Direct Land Tax at the South.

There is some talk of enforcing the
collection of the direct land tax in the
South; The southern States share of
this tax-which amounted to twenty
millions among all the States-was six
millions Of this sum only about three
millions has been paid into the Tresury
from the southern States 1t will be re-
membered that when this amount had been
collected President johnson sent a mes
sage to Congress setting forth that in
view Of the poverty produced in the South
by the war it would. in many instances,
be ruinous to that section to enforce the
collection Of the tax at time, and recon-
mending that it be suspended for some
time, so as to allow the industrial interests
of the South to recuperate. II is stated
that the limit of the suspension fixed by
Congress has now passed, and the law
providing for tie levying and collection
of the tax comes into full force again. 1t
is argued by those who urge this pro-
ceeding that the industrious of the South
have greatly improved in the interim; that
the crops are abundant; and that there is
no longer any excuse ior delay on the
score of poverty. Whether the Secretary
of the Treasury will act upon the advice
rendered him in this matter remains to be

Old Virginia-GodBless Her

She is the mother of States and states
men and we do not wonder at the ardent
feeling and morbid pride with which the
wandering children extol the grand old
Commonwealth. Everywhere her sons
rise up and call her blessed Whether
her praise be upon all lips or the voice of
calunny be raised to traduce and defame
her at all times and in alb places they have
adhered to her name and her cause with
more than the ordinary steadtas tness of
filial devotion. For is she unworthy of
the honor, for her historic history shines
bright and clear, her honor is untarnished,
and no spot blurs her escutcheon. When
other States we're madly and wildly rush
ing into the rebellion Virginia paused
upon the brink /; but when she reluctantly
gave the weight of her great name to the
cause of the Confederaey the waveriug
confirmed and the arbl of all nerved with
strength and consciousness Of rig bit and
justice.
But the war has closed. The people
of the South, cropping in darkness, living
in anarchy, and standing amid the ruins
of her desolate homes, have looked to
Virginia for counsel. Her voice has been
heard. The election for Governor, mem
bers of Congress, and members of the
Legislature, and upon the new constitution
took place on Tuesday ; and it will be
seen from our dispatches this morning
that the friends of harmony, reconciliation.
and tranquility. have triumphed upon
the platform of universal suffrage.
The Conservatives heve swept the State
as the fire sweeps over the parched prairie
patriotism has proved stronger than
fanaticism, and those who, for selfish
motives, have raised their puny voices
against reconciliation have been forced to
yield to the blast Of public opinion as the
frail reed bends to to the Storm The
result in Virginia is the beginning of the
end the end to that hatred and pro-
scription which has brought anarchy
upon the South, and which, if persisted
in, will bring bankruptcy and ruin. The
dawn Of glorious future is fast dispelling
the shadows of the past Memphis
Avalanche.

Gen. Canby's Proposition for Calling
Together the Virginia Legislature.

WILL ONEUy>S IEOROSitIOu lOT OUE1tnE
Together the Virginia Legislature.
l learn to-day, from source in Rich
mond entitled to credit, that General
Candy has sent circulars to all the MEM
bors of the Legislature elect asking each
of them if they can qualify by subscribing
to the iron-clad oath. If he ascertains
there is quorum of both Houses thus
qualified he will issue his proclamation in
about fifteen days announcing the result
of the election and calling the Legislature
together to ratify the Fifteenth amend
ment and elect United States Senators.
The members unable to qualify would in
this case remain absent until the Con-
stitution had been ratified by Congress
and the State admitted when they would
present themselves and qualify under the
State Constitution, from which the test
oath has been expunged. Should there
not, however, be found quorum able to
qualify by taking the test oath, the
Commanding General vii. then defer issu-
ing his proclamation, but will order new
elections to fill the seats which will be
declared vacant by reason of inability to
qualify as above. 1t is supposed there
will be quorum of both houses and that
the ultras will have majority on joint
ballot, with, in that event, would enable
then to elect Unite State Senators.
Governor Wells and l.. H. Chandler
both defeated Radical aspirants, would
doubtless in this case be sent to the
Senate, and one Of the main fruits Of tie
victory recentlp achieved would, by this
artful arrangements, be snatehed from the
hands Of the liberal Republicans, but
should there not be aquorum the electinns
will scarcely alter the complexion of the
Legislature, which now stands from the
official returns as follows In the Senate
thirty white liberals aud none colored; In
eight white proscriptionists and five col
ored, in the House ninety-three white and
three colored liberals, and twenty three
