ENGLAND.

ENGLAND.
LIVERPOOL. March 20.-The steam
ships City of London aud Java, from
New York, have arrived.
LONDON, March 20. = Mr.. Glad
stones bill to disestablish the Church
In ireland, came up again in the
House OF Commons, and was debated
at great length.
Sir John Girley, Liberal member
from Kilkenny, regarded the Estab-
lished Church In Ireland as badge
of conquest, and asserted that it must
be abolished.
Edward Meall, Liberal, floh Brad
ford, also supported the bill In a
speech of considerable length, and
was followed by the Right Hon. Stat
ford in opposition.
John Bright then delivered a long
and able speech in favor of the meas
ure. The Established Church of
England had the assent Of a large
majority of the people OF Englaud,
but the question was whether that
Church was good also for the
people of Ireland. The oppo-
nents of this bill had utterly failed
to prove that the opinion Of the
civilized world was hostile to this
measure as had been stated
He reviewed the opinion Of states
men on the question and quoted Lord
SANKEY'S remarks that Ireland was
the question OF the hour" He re
ferred to the conduct of Lord Mayo
White, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
and the opinion of other tories to
show that that party had no policy on
the Irish question. The bill now
before the House, he continued, was
acceptable to the mass of the people
OF Ireland Catholic or Protestants
as well-and was almost universally
approved by The people OF Eagiand,
as had been before stated. Here the
established Church in Ireland was
badge of conquest. Conservatives Of
the future would view the attitude of
the present conservatives on this
question with surprise. He quoted
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1869-03-22

Mr.. WALKER may think there is
no desire on the part Of the people
to have a report from him before the
city election. In this he is very much
mistaken. They wish to know what

nue. collected BIZ him during the past
year. Ia the history of Evansville
taxes were never so high as during
the first year of Mr.. WALKERS term

the money? Thao is the question.
Will the Mayor respond to- a ght at
the meeting of the Council? His
predecessor had no difficulty in ma

Aprd election. showing how much
the city owed and what for. Why
can't Mr.. WALKER do the same? Is

unable to do so? We hear DO.

silence. We ask again, will Mayor
WALKER report?

i as much mistaken in this as it

VAN RIPPER will heed our caution, aud
that hereafter he will not be found
making insinuations about voting for
appropriations which are improper.
1t is very impolitic, to say the least,
for him to do so. We are interested
in the young gentleman to an extent
that iucIines US thus to warn him.

LOUISVILLE.
Remarkable Article from the Louis
Vile C0uFier-JOHFHal.

LOUISVILLE. March 21 - The
Courier Journal publishes this morn
ing the following remarkable article
When it was announced that General
Grant had appointed Gen. Lougstreet
to the office Of Surveyor at the port of
New Orleans, we at once concluded
that the President was apprised of
his appOintee's having been once in
dicted for smuggling. aud therefore
thought him the better qualified to
detect others who might engage IN a
similar practice About the year
1855. we are intOrmedf LOngstrcet be-
ing a Major in the Uaited States
Army, and Ia command of a military
post on the American side of the
Rio Grande, was indicted 10 the Dis
trict Court of the United States for
the Territory of New Mexico for the
crime of smuggling, but when the
United States Marshal went to the
fort to execute the process of said
court the gates were closed against
him. and he had to return without
executing it.
The Marshal having reported these
facts to the then Governor OF the Ter
ritory, he made application to General
Garland, VINO commanded that mill
tary district. to have Longstreet sur
rendered to the civil authorities for
trial, but as Longstreet was a rela
tive of the General he evaded
the application of the Governor.
and ordered a Court of Inauiry
to Investigate the matter. This court.
composed of his brother officers.
found Longstreet guilty. but the Gen
eral disapproved Of the finding Of the
court, and the matter was settled by
his giving pledge to the civil officers
tn there should be NJ smuggling on
the part of the military. Hence we
infer that Grant, knowing that Long
street had some know edge of the
holes through which often lers might
