The American RiHemen-The Pope and
Francis JOseph-Ihe International
Code Conference.

LONDON, April 13.-In the house of
commons this evening Mr.. Sullivan, q
member for the south, wanted to know
whether the law in regard to bearing of
arms in Ireland would in any way in
terfere with American riflemen who are
coming to Ireland to take part in the
international rifle match. The chief
secretary for Ireland replied that all
classes would heartily welcome Amer
leans this summer. The gentlemen
from the United States who were
to take part in the competition
were undoubtedly law abiding
citizens. There was no reason to sup
pose they would break the law, or be
any more likely to render themselves
liable to arrest than Scotchmen or En-
glishmen. Mr.. Sullivan insisting on q
positive assurance, so that there might
be no Misrepresentation, the chief secre-
tary replied that there would be no in
reference with visitors, because it was
understood they had no intention of
breaking the law; but, if necessary, a
special arrangement would be made to
secure their entire freedom OF move
ment and exemption from the formal
operation Of the law.
The London Times and Daily NeaOS
having recently published certain docu-
ments which had been submitted to
select committee of parliament on the
South American bubble loans, a mo-
ton was introduced summoning the
publishers of these journals to the bar of
the house to answer for the breach of
privilege. The motion met with con-
siderable opposition, but after long de-
bate on the liberty and responsibility Of
the press, was adopted.
The report in the Paris newspaper
L Union, yesterday, that the pope had
made to the Emperor Francis Joseph,
through the patriarch of Venice, a
strong remOnstrance against the op-
preston of the church in Germany, and
that the emperor had responded, de-
ploring the struggle and counselling
prudence, is pronounced to be without
foundation.
In the house Of commons tonight
Captain Ballie Cochran moved that in
the opinion of the house the interna-
tional code conference, to meet at st.
Petersburg, affords favorable Opportu-
nifty for England to withdraw her agree
ment to the declaration of Paris in 1856.
Mr.. Burke, under secretary of state for
foreign affairs, spoke against the mo-
ton. He declared that England could
not honorably withdraw from that de-
claration without the consent of the
other parties who signed it. Her relin-
quidbment of the right to seize an enc.
my's goods on neutral vessels was doubt
less great concession, but England was
gamer by the abolition of privateering.
In other respects he thought the revival
of this question tended to no good re-
suits. On the contrary, it was likely to
raise other grave issues, and if persisted
was rejected by vote Of thirty-sfx ayes
to two hundred and sixty-one nays.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The Tribune
says it is probable that no objection will
be made to the reception Of Mrs. Til
toms testimony, which the defense will
probably offer next week. Mr.. Morris,
Of the counsel for Tilton, stated yester-
day that the plaintiffs counsel would
not object TO the reception of her testi-
mony, and Judge Nelson had said to
the Tribune reporter that, both sides
eoDsenting, he should permit her to be
sworn. Beecher's testimony will un-
questionsbly close this week, if not, in
deed on Thursday. Cleaveland may
then be called, or Mrs. Tilton may be
put on the stand, If Mr.. CIeavelsnd's
illness continues. The future may az.
feet the views OF the defense in this re-
gard, but it is more than probable that
the plan above indicated will be fol-
lowed.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 8, 1875.
Messrs. Caldwell & Caldwell:
GENTLEMEN-Your communication
on the subject Of your further employ
ment as counsel in the case Of the State
against the "GibsOn county jail-break
ers,n was received in due time. After
conference with the attorney-general, l
have determined not to incur, on behalf
OF the State, any additional expense to
the prosecution Of these cases. The dis
trict attorney-general will, therefore,
have to cOndnct them without assist
ance. When my Immediate predeces-
sor employed yourselves and others
TO assist the regular officers of the
State, and resorted to other ex-
trsordinary measures to bring these
alleged offenders to trial, his purpose
was TO demonstrate the fixed determine
tion of the authorities of the State to
protect its citizens at any price, and to
punish offenders against its laws. But
since the arrest and indictment Of these
parties the United states authorities
have assumed Jurisdiction over them
aud have undertaken their punishment,
after refusing the application Of the at
tOrney-general to leave their trial and
punishment with the courts of the State.
This action on the part Of the authori-
ties of the United States has caused me
to adopt the resolution herein indicated,
and l will thank you to communicate it
to your associate counsel. Very respect
fully, your Obedient servant,

The Treaty TO be Enforced against Black
Hill ExDeditfOnE

YANKTOE, d. t., April 13.-Chief-
Justice Shannon, in charging the grand
jury of the United States court here to-
day, directed their especial attention to
the proposed Invasion of the Black Hills
Indian reservation, which is within the
jurisdiction Of this court. He charged
them fully in regard to the Indian inter-
course law, and as to the duties of the
civil and military authorities in enforc-
ing these laws and the treaty stipula-
tions, the remedy being ample in all
cases. He spoke in very strong terms
against allowing individual preferences
or iDclinatiOns to prevent full and rigid
execution of all these laws or the full
recognition Of the treaty stipulations
while they remain in force and until
regularly done away with. This treaty,
he said, shOuld be observed with some
solemnity, and should be as strictly
carried out as If made with strong and
powerful nation. 1t Ia understood that
troops have been sent from Fort Randall
to cut off the expedition now about start
ing from Sioux City, and will doubtless
be turned back. The military authori-
ties, having full power under section
tWenty-One Of the revised code, not only
to remove persons already in the Indian
country, but to prevent those who are
found on its border, with an evident
purpose Of going there.
