Proceedings in tho House Of Commons,
LONDON, Aug. 8.
The House Of Commons was to.
day the scene of severe encounter
between the leaders Of the Tory and
Liberal parties. D'Israeli savageIy
charged Gladstone with bad leader
ship both in the House and in his
party; with wasting many weeks on
subjects subsequently, abandoned;-
with needless invoking the exercise
of royal perogative, and with post.
poning important and even vital
legislation.
Gladstonereiterated that d Israeli'e
so called facts were offsprings of his
imagination and lingual powers, and
that the lost time Of which DIS
raeli complained of was due to the
resistance made by the Tories to the
electoral reform.
Sir John Grey member from Xii.
kenny city, gave notice of his inten-
ton TO call the attention Of the House
of Commons on Friday to the sub
jects of the riots which occurred in
Dublin on Sunday last.
A foot and mouth disease OF an ex.
tremely virulent type has broken out
among the cattle in the County of
Meath, Ireland, and is spreading rap
idly.
Gladstone implored tho House to
pass the ballot bill forthwith in a
violent personal and partizan debate
after which Forster summed nm for
the bill as one demanded by the peo-
pie. The bill passed.

DONDONs aug. O.
A dispatch from London to-day
says the city is quiet, but the excite.
ment of the populace has not yet
subsidized. 1t is generally thought
that the 81 mpathixers with the Feni.
an prisoners have not yet given up
the idea of holding another meeting,
in spite Of the prohibition by the a'il
thorities. The sentiment of . major.
ty Of the people is in favor Of grant
ing amnesty to all Fenian prisonsrs,.
but violent opposition 70 the au-
thorities is generally deprecated. II
was the belief that the royal visit
would be made the occasion for re-
leasing the prisoners. The papalace
are very bitter against the Prince Of
Wales because he has not inSereede0
for amnesty. Several places visited
by the royal party were Quilted BY
the mob on Sunday. The whole
police force is still on the alert. Tho
military is consigned to the barracks
to be ready if called upon to aid the
police. The most Of the wounded
are expected to recover thus far no
deaths are reported, but it is thought
that from five to ten persons will die
of their injuries.

Political Meeting.

Col. G. q. Carpenter will speak at
the Court House, in this city, on
Saturday evening, 10Th inst, and at
Eddyville on Friday, 25th inst, at 2
o'clock, p. m. Let our readers bear
these meetings in mind, and fail not
to attend as far as possible. Col.
Carpenter is an able and effective
speaker, who will do full Justice to
the cause he advocates.
He is to be, if he lives, the next
Governor of Iowa, and we especially
urge our people who are not
already acquainted with him, to
make his acquaintance on these occa.
sions. He is one Of those whole.
sonled social men whom it will do
you all good to know.

in answer to the formers request for
his resignation, in which Pleasanton
says that under any other cirtum-
stances nothing would give him
greater pleasure than to accedo to
any request of the President of this
kind; but the cause Of this request
was stated BY Gen. Porter to be the
difference xisting between the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Boutwell, and
himself as regards the government
and the management Of Internal
Revenue. Boutwell, claims the
powers which under the laws of
Congress governing that bureau are
vested solely in the Commissioner.
The question therefore is q purely
legal one, and the precedents of our
Government have been to have such
questions, when appealed to the Pres.
ident, referred to the law officer Of
the Government for his opinion, and
upon which the President would base
his decision. Pleasanton then refers
to his request to the President to set
tie the matter in that way, and con-
tinues: 'This appeal, as / under
stand It, is not to be entertained, but
the subject is to be treated rather as
personal difference between Seo'y
Boutwell, and myself. In this con-
nection it ls proper to add that the
personal conduct Of the Secretary
has been such as to preclude the ten
der Of my resignation until some
opportunity is granted Of indicating
my administration of the Internal
Revenue Bureau. In justice to the
public interests placed under my
charge, and of the Importance to the
taxpayers of these difficulties, I
most respectfully decline to tender
my resignation, and, trusting it will
not be deemed inappropriate, ask
that your present determination be
reconsidered, and the investigation
Of the matter of difference between
the Secretary and myself be referred
to the Attorney General for his legal
opinion. With great respect.
/ (Signed) A. PLEAsANToN, Com.
This letter was accompanied by a
private note from Pleasanton, OK
pressive, it is said, Of HE devotion,
friendship and support of the Presi-
dent in the future. Within two
hours of the receipt Of Pleasanton'e
communication, the President sent
him a notification of his suspension.
The immediate causes, as assigned in
official quarters for the suspension of
Pleasanton, are that the Internal
Revenue tax was not collected with
efficiency that Pleasonton had re.
versed the rulings of his predeces
sors in several important particulars
and has made decisions the effect Of
which was to unnecessarily lessen
the public receipts, also, acting in
dependently Of, and not consulting
with his superior officers as to these
and other matters OF the admins
tration; and that change was neces
sary in order TO be in harmony will
;. the working of the Treasury De
partment.

Give o. Back the Tails.

II we, as Mr.. Darwin says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, In changing things hath not
Asyet the matter mended.
Descendants of our ancestors
Have M such times as they,
Who had no rent of house or tax
OF government to pay.
No tailor bills came in-Dame Nature
And freaks OF fashion did not make
Of monkey-girl a slave.
SO the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And. Darwin, If you can, my boy,
just give us back the tails.
No hurrying out OF bed had they,
No boiling break fast down,
No hasty walk to shop In fear
OF some old boss's frown.
The Iady-mOnkey sat not up
Till day the night did rout,
In waiting Tor the lodge TO close
And let her husband out.
They had no votes, tits true, but they'd
No officers to keep,
And DER defaulting cash account
They never had to weep.
SO the olden ways the happiest way;
And, Darwin. If you can, my hoy,
just give us back the tails.
They had no fashions promenade.
Where beauty's feet would stray.
But then the old boss-monkey had
No milliner to pay.
They had no wine, the monkeys young,
Through night to keep a-storminp:
They saved thereby (you know yonrselD
A headache in the morning,
A.Peaceful race were they, who ne'er
To wars appeal did fly;
They saved thereby occasion for
A Joint Commission High.
A smarter race were they than that
Which nom them hath descended.
And Time, by changing things, hath nc
AS yet the matter mended :
For the olden ways the happiest way
The new condition fails;
80; Darwin, IL you can, my boy,
Please give us back the tails.
