TELEaRAPHIc SUMMARY.
THE GREAT DEBATE on HOME RUIZ
lew ORLEANS. SUNDAY. JULY 5. 1874.

orr Irish correspondence, took place la
Tuesday night in the House of Commons M
Butt first offered his resolution in favor
Home Rule.
He maintained that home rnle involved Il
ton. The lnpsrial Parliament, in which IRE
land will still be represented, would have tb
power to tax the resources of Ireland as wei
as Great Britain.
Since the union OF ireland she had always
been unprosperous aud dissatisfied. He &C
knowledged efforts had been made 10 redress
her grievances, hut these had failed, and al
ways would fail, because real liberty was de
MED. He appealed to the House to adopt bis
resolve as the only real remedy. By restoring
its constitutional rights coEtentment and pros
perity would be established throughout the
country.
The Attorney General for Ireland gave
decided and emphatic negative to all the pro
positions which DR.. Bait advanced. The
present proposal WAS infinitely more danger.
Gus to the peace and prosperity of the country
than the demand for the Repeal of the Union.
A collision of the Imperial and Irish Parlia-
ment would be inevitable; particularly on
questions of commerce and finance. Tie pro-
posed action wonld endanger the commercial
and social fabric and political constitution of
England, but practically ruinous for Ireland.
He regarded the agitation of the subject as
mischievous and futile.
Viscount CREIGHTON. member for Enniskillen,
said che people Of Ulster were unanimous in
tho opinion that homo rule was equivalent to
civil war. and would Inevitably result in the
subjggation of Ireland by some foreign power
Marquis Of Harrington said the great bulk
of Irishmen do not desire home rule.
The question must be regarded from an
charge of the Imperial interest, must reject
the motion whatever be the effect upon inter-
nal affairs. Ireland under no consideration
wouid ever induce Liberals to ,purchaee Irish
support by sacrificing the slightest interest of
the empire. He felt that any coquetting with
the question will immediately result in the
complete REORGANIZATION of the Liberal party.
On the I'd OF July the debate was med.
Disraeli was unable to agree that Ireland had
arght to o greater amount of self government
than Scotland or England. He demonstrated
were not appointed to high places by the Gov.
eminent, and denied Ireland was treated q
conquered country. He said two separate par
liaments would CONSTANTLY be in collision. A
appealing to the Imperial Parliament. He
opposed the motion because il was Injurious
10 both countries. At the great crisis of the
world, which was nearer than some supposed.
he wished the people to be united. TO accept
this molten would be to produce disntegra-
fion in England. and might result in the de-
struction of the Empire.
Mccarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, the O'Conor
Don, and hers, spoke In favor of the motion.
AT a late hour the House divided aud DR..
Butts resolve was rejected by vote of 81
yeas to As nays.
OF Roman mobiles. He SAID that the demon
stration of the previous Sunday in his honor,
was spontaneous and magnificent, that the
Go1nte. demonstration OF Wednesday was the
darkness. The Pope added that he had re-
ceiyed q latter urging him to quit Rome be-.
cause his person was not safe, but he declared
he would remain here long as God per-.
nsitted.
His Holiness received the Generals of Re-
ligious Orders on the 3oth; He said he deplored
hn ,.,r . hi,
Them to remain united and they would reas-
eemble hereafter.
