A negro named George Marshall rob-
bed Mr.. Buckley, of Utica, Kinds
county, of $3.50. He made good his
escape. The Jackson Times relates the
particulars:
Last evening all old gentleman over
seventy years of age was driving on his
way home to Utica from Edwards,
where he had been laying in a wagon
load of supplies. About half way be-
tween those places he was accosted by
a stalwart negro man. named George
Marshall, who asked for a ride. Mr..
Buckley, the old gentleman, kindly
granted his request and took him in the
wagon. They had proceeded but a
short distance when Marshall, drawing
a knife pressed his left arm against
Buckley's throat, forcing him against q
pillow and robbed his pockets Of $3.50.

SUNDAY Laws in Ireland.

LONDON. May 13.-Smythe's motion
in favor of closing public houses in
Ireland throughout Sunday, which
passed the Commons, was an abstract
resolution declaring in the opinion of
the House it is expedient that the law
which forbids general sales of intoxi-
eating liquor during a portion of Sun
day in Ireland, should be amended SO
as to apply to the whole of that day.
The Times says the question practically
raised was whether, on a matter which
purely concerned their own constituents,
the opinion of a vast majority of the
representatives of Ireland should be
overcome. The Irish people may fairly
be said to be unanimous in favor of
Sunday closing; al earnest has been
given of a fair treatment of Irish local
feeling, which may be trusted to bear
good fruit, and it is only astonishing
the Government should have wontonly
exposed themselves to defeat by throw
ing away so admirable an opportunity
for Cancellation.

j.. Support.

The New York Tribune has declared
emphaticallv for Tilden for President.
The Tribune is a Republican organ,
and its support of a Democrat for the
highest Office within the gift of the
people is very significant. In alength-
ly editorial it says:
Though there are several Democratic
Statesmen who might be named whose
candidacy would go far to assure the
people Of the earnestness of the party,
it seem to us that only one has been
brought prominently forward who has
been SO thoroughly identified
with political reform as to be
able to lift the party up into
the confidence of the people. That
man is Gov. Tilden. The feeling of the
people is that the country would be
safe in.his hands as the Executive. 1t
is is our conviction that if Gov. Tilden
should be nominated at st. Louis, the
gentlemen who have called a political
conference in this city would take no
independent action, whatever might be
done by the Republicans party at Gin
clnuatl.

A telegram from New York tells of o
political conference he d in that city on
the 18th inst. by the Liberal Republi-
cans, pursuant to the call issued by
VIM. G. Bryant, Thomas D. Woolsey,
A. II. Bullock, Horace White and Carl
Schurz. About three hundred dele
gates were present. Secretary Lodge
called the meeting to order, and read
the call. Thomas d. Woolsey was
elected: President, who said that for
eight or ten years past, the country
was growing politically worse; leading
and strong men of the Republican par
ty had made the country blush with
shame, andnow this meeting vas called
to decide what was best to be done to
remedy matters.
Carl Schurz thanked the audience for
such II large attendance. He said it
was claimed that Independents are on
the fence, but it is owing to the vast
quantity Of mud on both sides of the
fence thai they are afraid to decend.
He declared that the object of the con-
ference was to promote and further the
general interests of the country.
On motion of Mr.. Schurz, Park
Goodwin, Judge l.. S. Foster, Of Con
necticut, John W. Hoyt, of Wisconsin,
Martin Bremmer, of Massachusetts,
and Carl Schurz, were appointed a
committee to draw up some definite
plan of action, and take such Other

American citizen, when the officer de-
clared he would shoot the German and
American Counsels if they lnterfered
with Gen. Gonzales efforts to prepare

ago he proposed to prove that his name
less power would do what he claimed,
and announced that on the 10th inst,
he would destroy a fifty ton vessel one
mile from land. At the appointed hour

that the Judges have in addition to
their salaries been surreptitiously pro-
