Since the discussion on Gladstone's res
olutions there has been some abatement
of the war fever in England. The real
story OF this discussion is said to be as fol-
lows: "There have all along been two
parties in the Cabinet Lord Beaconfield
/, decidedly Turkish in his sympathies,
while Lords Salisbury and Carnavon and
Mr.. Cross are Russophiles. 1t was the
ambition OF Beaconsfeld to crown his
Ministerial career with all the eclat of a
great war, like Walpole, Pitt and Palmer
ston. He had resolved upon active inter
vention. Orders We're given for the or
ganiZation of an army of 10000 men I'M
der Napier, of Magdala, with instructions
to occupy the shores of the Bosphorus OPP
posite Con:tantinople. 1t was understood
that Russia would regard such action on
England's part as cdsus belH. This pol
Icy of the Earl Premier strong party in
the Cabinet violently opposed. The press
divided. The Daily Telegraph and Pail
Mall Gazette favored the B.aconsfield pol
Icy. while the Times opposed. Mr..
Carlyle, learning of the resolution, wrote
his remarkable letter. Mr. Gladstone fol-
lowed with his resolutions. This move
brought division among the liberals.
Johu Bright opposed any scheme to drag
the country into war, on the ground of his
conscientious scruples. The Marquis of
Harrington, on the other hand, leaned
toward the Beaconsfeld policy. The agl-
tation soon spread over the country and
assumed remarkable proportions, in the
same way as the Bulgarian horrors agita-
ton of last autumn took bold of the peo.
pie. The effect was to completely demon
alize the liberals. The Marquis Of Hart.
ington resigned the leadership of the op.
position, withdrew his resignation, re-
signed again, and when, through the in
Prevention of Earl Granville. Mr.. Glad
stone amended bis resolution, Harting
ton agreed to continue at the head Ut his
party. The effect of this general shaking
up was that Lord Beacon iield was forced

A POWERFUL AND VIGOROUS SPEECH


hAsHNGToN, January 8, 1877.
Louisiana WAS again befors the Senate
to-day.
Mr.. BOgy and other Democratic Senator's
skiEmished, so TO speak, along the line, 9 \
deavoriDg to find a chance TO demand q re-
opening of the canvass of the electoral
vote, and attacked the Returning Board ON
every side.
Senator Sherman came to the defense Of
Louisiana, and showed that the only ques-
tioa was whether the evidence before the
Returning Board justified it's action.
He was en- the spot, gave the subject
careful examination, and was free to say
it did. hG held that the decisions of the
board wers in every case marked BY striot
observance Of Law and equity.
Speaking Of the memorial Of the conser.
vative citizens of Cincinnati, praying for a
settlement of the presidential question
without the etfusion of blood and upon
fair and Just basis, Mr.. Sherman said he
joined with the memoFialists, and that the
only compliance with their reasonable re-
quest would be the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Hayes; that ii Tilden was declared
President it would be by the blood Of thou
sands of Southern Republicans, murdered
that the Democracy might come into power.
The debate received profound attention,

towusman, Captain $. J. Adams, and j..
Burwell. president of the above rail,
road. We are glad to see this sort of
spirit manifested by the directory, of
which Captain Adams is a member, in
an enterprise of so much importance as
this railroad is to Dallas.
Now, let the citizens of Dallas show a
like spirit; lot them give countenance
and encouragement to this road. Let us
invite Mr.. Burwel here and talk with
BIN, and know him. Now is the time
for action. This is live road, and al.
though nothing has been said about it,
still they are going ahead rapidly.
They have their line already graded and
tied, ready for the iron, from Lawrence
nearly to Athens, and will soon be to
Palestine. This is work in earnest, aad
with proper effort nov, Dallas can soon
have direct rail connection with Pales
tine. This is matter of the very high
est moment to our people, and is worthy
