The recent defeat Of the Home Rulers in the British Parliament seems to have been most decisive. They have hitherto acted generally with the Liberals, to whose assistance, years ago. they owed Catholic Emancipation; and, more recently, the dis. establishment of the Irish church. Of late they have been trying to bully the Lib- erals into allowing the restoration of the Irish Paliament,. or "Home Rule" as they term it. Their bullying has only had the effect of uniting both Liberals and Con- servatives against the Home Rulers, who were defeated by more than six to one in the late vote in the Commons.

THE SENIOR EDITOR OF THE .AL.4
BAMA PEESS.

La .commening on the late meeting of the
Press Association of Alabama, in Mobile, the
Decatur News thus speaks of the Oldest editor
in that Safe, under whose instruction We
received our first lessons in journalism, and
who is the only surviving pember of the
family Of our sainted mother:
ION Thursday morning the Association met
in the rooms of the Board of Trade, and was
called to order by the President, Hon. j. F.
Grant, of the Jacksonville Republican Our
readers must not infer from the name of Mr.
Grants paper that he belongs to the latter day
saints u party, whose every principle and
acts for several years past have been in ant,g-
onsm to the idea Of Republicanism, for long
before tue dominant party assumed the name,
his Journal had taken it, and was going out
weekly, bordened with the current news oil
tue day, and advocating the principles upon
which all good government is based.
Father Grant is a true follower and zeal,
Gus advocate Of the Jeiersonian Democracy.
and for more than half century has welded
his able pen in defense of the principles
taught by the peerless Sage of Monticello
He is now approaching the end of long life
The most Of which has been passed in connec.
ton with journalism in Kentucky Tennessee
and Alabama. He enjoys the proud satislac-
lion of having made a good record and will
bequeath to posteriiy the inheritance Of
character as pure and spoiess as fallen man
ever possessed; and when silently he sleeps
beneath the sod this inscription may fifty be
written upon the slab that marks his resting
place "None knew him but to love him
none named him but to praise

gave her daughter several thousand dollars to
invest for her in some safe and productive

to be fatal mistake, for in few months the
storks became worthless and the little fortune
was lost! As soon as the daughter received

that il had been lost. She did this with her

BURNED TO DEATH.

On Monday last, about o'clock. says the
81. Charles Herald, a cabin in the quarters OF
the Trinity plantation burned to the ground
When the fire was first discovered, tue occu-
pant, colored man named Jean Louis Hay
del, moved his family and part of his effects
out of the building and then returned to
quench the flames. He placed ladder
against the side of the house, and mounted
the roof While pouring water through an
opening, the roof caved in and he was hurled
to the rafters, where, being sutiocated by the
dense smoke, he became insens bic and was
burned TO DEATH all efforts TO secure him be-
ing truitless. After the flames had subsidized
search was made for his body, but only
portion of the stomach and pieces of his
lower limbs, blackened and CHARGED were
found. Other parts were found, but they
crumbled to ashes when handled. The affair
caused general gloom to hang over the
residents of the plantation for several days.
