Tenure Bill.

British Polltics-GIadstone and His Land
Tenure Bill.
We have already commented upon the speech
OF Mr.. Gladstone on the introduction of his
second grand bill for the settlement OF Ireland
and Ireland's troubles. Last year Mr.. Glad
stone did great work. He broke down-he did
more, he made an end of-the biggest griev-
ance Of which Ireland had any cause to COM
plain. We speak of the Irish Church Estab-
lishment Now Mr.. Gladstone, with Ireland
as rebellious as ever, undertakes another
reform. 1t is our opinion that Mr.. Gladstone
will carry through this second great reform
with as much ease as he carried through the
last. But will he please Ireland? II he does
not, he should. What more can any Parlia-
ment do than do justice9 This it aims at and
this 1t win do. But If Ireland is radically
opposed to the British government what is the
use Of talking about reform? In the estimation
Of all honest souls the bill now submitted by
Mr.. Gladstone ought to make an end Of all
Irish trouble. lit does not, who Is to blame
So far as we, can see, the Irish in Ireland
should settle all this EnglishIrish trouble
by . complete exodus. Ireland In America
would be happy. The Irish in Ireland cannot
and they will not be pacided. We can only
say ssCome."

THE UNION LEAGUE RECEPTION.

The ladies' reception OF the Union League Club
last evening at the msgnincent club rooms corner
OF Madison avenue and Twenty-sixth street. was, in
ali probability, the most brilliant affair Of the kind
which has taken place In this city for years. The
formal reception took place at nine O'Clock, ana she
President Mr.. Schultz, received.
The rooms OF the club were beautifully illnminated
full Of the most exquisite paintings After the for
malities OF the reception prOmenadiDg and dancing
was commenced III the theatre, and was kept mp
until the wee hours. Among the distinguished per-
present were Horace Greeley, General ingalls,,
John F. Kensett F. d. Carpenter, William Orton,

MIR. Banks Cuban Resolution.

In the House yesterday resolution was
introduced by Mr.. Banks providing for strict
impartiality in enforcing the neutrality laws
of the country and suspending the statutes
Furnishing violations of the neutrality acts so
far as they relate to the conflict now going on
between Cuba and Spain. The resolution was
referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
Of which Mr.. Banks is chairman, and will
probably be reported soon, and quite likely
will be passed, at least in the House.
The resolution viii do o little better than
tub for whale. It does not compass the
question, but it is little step towards the
right. 1t says that as we have given thirty
gunboats to Spain, we will, for considera-
ton, give as many to Cuba. If we have here
tofore done anything to aid Spain, we are
willing to do as much for the struggling
colonists. Having bolstered up the failing for
tunes Of the imbecile old kingdom with our
gunboats, our diplomacy, our protection
and our oppression of her weak enemies, we
now offer, in generous way, to do all those
things for the unhappy colony. Having
knocked down and robbed our neighbor We
propose to offer him our sympathy. This is
the measure of the resolution reported by Mr..
Banks, and such is the desperate strait to
which the action Of the administration has
driven the true friends Of Cuban independence
that they will hail even such a resolution with
delight It does at least unbind the hands Of
Cuba, and gives her from this time forward
guarantee that she will not again be fettered in
the race in which we gave Spain such long
start. But we had expected better things
from General Banks, and still expect better
things from him. Let lis have no milk and
water resolutions in crisis like this OF Cuba,
which pleads to us even with the voices of our
own murdered citizens. Let us no longer
show ourselves to be the great Snob among
nations, bowling as republics only bow to the
laughter prestige Of nobility and blood.

A MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-The attempt to mur-
der Mr.. Eaton the other night, within view Of
his own house, has bad appearance. Plumber
was not the object, neither was ordinary per-

plan made by persons familiar with the gentle
mans habits. As there has been given public
indication that this man was looked upon with
bitter dislike because he was counsel in some
cases against the Erie management, people
may naturally wonder whether this is the

found out in the meantime that his wife has
been unfaithful, and entering her room shoots
her twice in the head. Another man, who is
said to have been her paramour, was in the

ton Of q new Charter, the authorized party
