GLADSTONE AND IRELAND.-Mr. Gladstone
has addressed q letter to the ex-Solicitor Gen.
eral, Mr.. Hugh Law, announcing bis determi.
nation to restrict his visit to the vicinity O.
Dublin and to decline all invitations aud COM
pliments of a public character which might
involve him in o discussio of the questions
at present before the country. He does not
think in the present state of feeling that IL
would be iudicious for him to make any public
appearances in the South. and he declines to
90 to Ulster, lest he should make the rest OF
ireland Jealous and affOrd grounds for the be-
lief tb at he il dissatisfied with the reception
or with the operation of the important laws
relating to Ireland. which form 90 large n
part of the history of his administration. Such
q belief. he says, would be the exact reverse
of the truth. He rejoices to have been per-
mitted to make solid contribution to the
welfare of the country, and be awaits in hope
the time when he may find himself as before
associated with the majority of the Irish men,
bers in pursuit of the public wea'. For the
present it is his paramount desire if he cannot
do good to Ireland at least to do her no harm,
and neither by omission nor commission to ag'
gravate existing difficulties or to be wanting
in appreciation of the warm and kindly senti-
ments of the Irish people. He thinks, there
fore, the most prudent course he can pursne
will be to adhere to the intention of keeping
his visit within the limits of q purely private

rTLE WEIGHING EXTRAORDINARY

i. Special Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Gazette.
Washing ton NoU. 4.-One of the crooked
tkhods of contractors for furnishing the
ians with beef has lately been discover
by Secretary SchurZ, which will convince
Sse gentlemen more than ever that he ia
heorist, and that there is nothing practi-
j in him. 1t will be remembered that in
Red Cloud investigation, set on foot by
of. Marsh, it was developed that the
hal method of "weighing" cattle was to
less at their weight. This was broken up
Ia actual weighing insisted upon. 1t now
mes out that certain contractors have
BEN more than equal to this requirement,
Id that they not only weigh every head
applied, but that they weigh considers-
b part Of each drove twice, The method
this: A large pen is built and divided
kough the middle, the fences around it
a the division fence being of close
ards and ten or twelve feet high. At
. point where the dividing fence meets
! outside one is o smaller pen large
pugh to hold about dozen cattle. The
br Of this is the platform of the scales.
y beam is outside of the outer fence. The
All pen in which the weighing is done
two doors, one opening into each di-
lon of the main enclosure. When q
en are driven in, say from the right
Id enclosure, to be weighed, the man on
outside keeps notes of the weights.
b driver on the inside, after these are
orded for any lot of dozen, drives them
- into the lett enclosure. He then refills
small pen from the right division, and
on till he announces to the inspector
side that the whole drove has been
ighed. Before this is completed, how
er, the driver manages to paes most OF
Dse weighed back from the left division
% the right, by a small door in the par
lion itself. All thus returned to the
ght division are driven through the
Pighing pen again, and their weight duly
eorded the second time by the inspector
the beam outside. By this plan even a
ball drove is made to do excellent service
20 the contractors. And now comes this
rman theorist and upsets these nice
aDgements, and actually insists that &C
g as be is Secretary of the Interior not
@ound of beef shall be weighed more tha;
be, if the contractors starve for it.
