ENGLAND.
Proceedinss I'm Parliament. {.


LONDON, March 6.-In the House OF
Lords this evening Marquis Salisbury
attacked the foreign policy of the Gov
ernment, showing that the foreign pow
ers were all contemptuous in their man
ner towards England. Prussia had de-
clined England's aid in negotiating
peace with France, and Russia had re-
pudiated Obligations solemnly agreed
to at the end OF the Crimean war
These insults he placed in contrast with
guarantees which England was a party
to, and therefrom he deduced the decay
of her International influence. lie
urged reorganization OF the army, to
the weakness OF which he attributed
mucn of England's lost prestige.
Earl Granville protested against the
unreasonableness OF the assault made
upon the Governments conduct in for
eign affairs. Hequoted distinguished
American officer who had expressed his
surprise at the complete state OF prepar-
alton for war in which be found the
British navy.
The discussion ended by the adoption
of an order for reprintng the text OF
guarantees given by England in CONT
mental matters.
In the House Of Commons day
Disraeli gave notice that he should a: a
future day ask the government TO IN
form the House whether or not 1t was
aware of last years treaty between Rus
sia and Prussia, when Odo Russell was
sent to Versailles to consult the Ger
man Chancellor.
Gladstone communicated to the
House information received from " est
meath county, Ireland, confirming pre-
vious reports Of the mischievous ten
dency of affairs there He said special
measures of precaution were needed,
for the lives of the judges in that
county were threatened, and he urged
the members to take speedy action.
The bill for the army reorganization
was taken up, and there was keen en-
counter over the clause abolishing the
purchase of commissions, supporters
of the system predicting the loss Of
military character and prestige should
il he done away with.

th h r 70 recently made by us. concerning
,bs .i fstaI difficulty which all American Preslcc
'lants experience in piercing the atmosphere OF
,1bseonious assent which surrounds them, and
Of breathing any gales of truth blowing straight
from the people, there has come to us TINS
anecdote concerning President Lincoln, One
of Mr.. Lincoln's most intimate and trusted
political friends, who had been absent In Eu-
rope during the first year of his administration,
returned to this country only to lind the Presl-
dent girded about by men, who, as he thought
warped, colored, and disguised the truth IN
their communications to him. The President
and his friend thereupon made bargain that
certain person, perfectly trusted by both OF
them, should have access to the PRESIDENTIAL
ear at all times, day or night, for the special
purpose of telling unpleasant truths; and the
bargain was faithfully carried out, greatly to
Mr.: Lncoln's credit and benefit. Dr. johnson
said that the hardest thing to get at in this
world is fact. The emphasis of that saying
needs to be ten times reduplicated in2its apph-
cation to the case Of an American President.
We are not in faver of a very large increase in
the number of cabinet officers, but, in our opin:.
ion, there should at least be one more added
to the present number. There ought to he in
the cabinet secretary of the exact truth y
1t would take brave man to fill that office. -
