Gladstone, Lowe, Bright and Chancellor Sell
bourne we can quite understand how readily
the situation would be appreciated and prompt
action taken. II must be borne in mind that
the seven years lease Of the present Parlia-
ment had nearly expired, and it was merely q
question of dissolution now or in the follow
ing autumn. So far as the country was con-
cerned it was q matter of little Consequence
which of those times WAS selected. A disco
luton in the middle of the summer, when the
London season was at its height, would have
been eminently inconvenient; but as between
now or next fall mattered little. Such being
the case we have no doubt Mr.. Gladstone
thought himself perfectly justified in selecting
the moment best suited to advance the cause
of his great party.
The angry growl of the conservative leader
confirms our opinion that that party is not
prepared Just now for the contest Mr..
Disrael, who with consummate tact and
Judgment has led the tory ranks for so many
years, has lately been playing waiting game;
he bad noticed the Ministry getting weaker
every day Of is existence time was doing
for him more than he could ever hope to dc
for himself, and he clearly wanted the next
session to complete his arrangements. Hi
epigrams and word painting had still to b.
invented; his ranks had TO Be closed and o
party cry to Be- agreed On, and they positively
had not even an avowed policy. ALI this could
and would have been arranged during the
next nine ponths Never were The CONSERVE
] tive party LEES Prepared 10 90 10 ths country.

The feeling in Providence, against the At
tempt to throw the spragues Of Rhode Island
into bankruptcy was intense. A dispatch 70
the Boston Globe says:-
The general feeling was intense against the
proceeding, and movement was Immediate
ly put on foot to prevent the impending pro-
ceedings with their disastrous effects. This
movement took the form of petition, and In q
short time three petitions were rapidly circa-
lating among the stockholders Of the bank
and readily receiving signatures, to the fol-
lowing request:
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Mar. 81, IA.
| 70 the President and Directors of the Ma
tional Bank Of Commerce:
The undersigned, stockholders ia the Ma
ton Bank of Commerce, having received in
formation that the board of directors has
voted to commence proceedings in bank
| ruptcy against the A. & W.Spragne Manufac-
turing Company, request that in view Of the
great depreciation of property that must ensue
from such proceeding, alike disastrous to both
debtors and creditors, request that you call
meeting of the stockholders of the bank with
out delay, and suspend all further action un.
I'll the stockholders have an opportunity to
express their views on such proceeding In
bankruptcy by a stock vote.
At a meeting of the Peoples Savings Bank
connected with the National Bank Of Com
merce, vote was passed, 4 to /, not to file
petition OF bankruptcy. The two banks are
partially under the same direction and work
together, and the vote would indicate that the
bankruptcy movement was precipitated with
out a general consultation.
Since Mr.. Chaffee began his work of extri.
eating the Sprague affairs from the dilemma
| which forced suspension of their paper, he
has put the idle wheels Of industrious me
chanism in active motion, aud kept busy at
work thousands of operatives who otherwise
would have severely suffered during the Win
ter months. The manly, business-like state.
ment of Mr. Chaffee tells the story too plain.
y to be misnterpreted, of the suffering which
will ensue if the bankruptcy proceedings are
persisted in.
LATER-Up to 6 o'clock o-night signatures
had been received to the petitions represent
ing more than half the stock of the National
Bank of Commerce. George C. Nightingale
one of the directors, resigned as he would
not countenance the movement. Amasa
Sprague, who still remains director was not
present at the meeting last Monday. There
is an impression that the bank officers were
hoodwinked into the business by the Presi-
dent. The amount of Spraeue paper held by
the bank is about $3.50. 900. Mr.. Chaffse, Mr..
Smith, President of the bank, and Charles
Bradley, attorney for the bank, have been in
consultation since p NJ, but the result OF
their deliberations is not yet made public.
No citation has yet been presented.

The Brooklyn Eagle has discovered the ex.

stables filed with filth and dirt, packed to

condinions Of disease, Of eishtshundred cows
fed upon hot swill emptied Irom an adjoining
distillery. Some are tootbless, others blear
eyed, others have fostering sores upon their
legs and udders. Some are 20 bloated with
dropsy thai they have to be propped up to be
prevented from falling down, never to rise
again. Others are 90 cadaverous from dis
eases that their bones protrude from the flesh.
All have the abbreviated tail incised as an
inoculating process to modify the acuteness
and intensity of the disease which results from
the inhibition of the swill. In the stable there
was no ventilation except the air that strug-
gled through the d. os. No light was visible
between the boards. The ceilings were low,
and the cows stood knee deer in mud and
filth which abounded on every side. 1ne
Eagle publishes the names of several who
peddle the swill milk to the amount of $4,000
quarts daily as "Orange County" "Pure Put
nam County" and "Long Island" milk, to re-
tail dealers and citizens Of the two cities.

''all things were not as they should be in the
Methodist church in Industry" that there was
trouble between the pastor of the church,
Rev. ]. Hayden, and the members OF his
choir, and rather blaming Mr.. Hayden for the
trouble. We have long reply in denial,
from Mr.. Hayden, the eist of which is that
there were several members of the choir
whose performances were unsatisfactory. but
who had been suffered to remain. One 'lady
member, who appeared to be "boss," said re-
