affairs of Europe is but lightly regarded.
Such policy has always been and will always
continue to be unpopular in England, for no
people on the face of the globe are more
thoroughly imbued with patriotic fervor and
love of dominion. 1t is the boast of England
that the sun never sets on the Queens
dominion, and any administration that will
have even the remotest tendency to leopard
Use her territorial interests or lessen her
prestige among the nations, will be frowned
upon and driven from power. The Liberals
have been unfortunate in the adoption of
such policy, for their defeat is inevitable,
and must be Overwhelming. This Lord
Harrington tacitly acknowledges, and he
advances to the attack upon the ministry
more from sense of duty to his party than
with hope of ultimate success. His on
slaught lacks that vigor which has heretofore
marked parliamentary contests in times of
emergency. He sees defeat staring him in
the face-he knows he is leading forlorn
hope, hopelessly weak both in parliament
and before the people-and makes but a
feeble assault, not at all calculated to awak-
en- enthusiasm among his adherents. There
can be one result. It will depend much
upon the consideration of the premier
whether it will be disastrous rout OF a
complete exter mination.

[Phila. (July 25) Special to Chicago Tribune
The Grand National Clan of knights of
Labor has been in session in this city this
week. Reports have been received from the
Grand Clans of the States giving member
hip which proves that the society now num-
bers $4,000. The highest number is in
California, which has 141 200 members.
PENNSYLVANIA has $4,000, Indiana $4,000.
Ohio $4,000, North Carolina $4,000, New
York 40 900, and other States have smaller
numbers, down to 5000 in Colorado. The
society, which has been in existence for sew
eral years, has received large accessions of
membership since the riots a year
ago, when large number of railroad en-
ployes, upon the djsbanding of their organ
izations, Joined it. The increase is =sti-
mated by leading members of the order at
| 100000 within a year, and the reports of
last month show that there have been over
| 45 900 new members installed. The Grand
| National Clan is presided over by Uriah s.
| Stevens, of this city, who was elected at
Reading last winter. The members of the
society are bound by VOWS of Sc
recy, but some of the psicipal Off
| GERS, from whom this information
comes, say that complete secrecy is nc
longer possible, since the organization has
grown SO rapidly. The organization con-
sists of Clans in every city and large town
in the country, who send delegates to the
Grand Clan of the State. Then there is 6
Grand National Clan, the governing power
which is composed of delegates from the
State Clans or GO Divisions" The Society
has no connection with the National Green
back Labor party, although the latter is com
posed largely of it's members. The Consti
tuition of the Order forbids active participa
ton in politics, but this part of the docu
ment has, it is said, become dead letter
The object of the Order is, in the words o
the Constitution, the elevation of labor AM
the emancipation of man, but they have il
several places engaged successfully il
political contests. They claim to have cas-
the vote that reversed the poll ical complex
ion of San Francisco, Toledo, Pittsbure

where they we're never beaten before, an
beating Democratic candidates in place
where the party had before had an undoubt

1t is a thrilling narrative and one which will
arouse Indignation in the breast of every
reader. That two villains could find con-
ductor weak and puerile enough, and a train
load of passengers sufficiently stupid to al
low them to abduct a lady on the plea that
she was insane, seems to be in
credible. If such things can be, no
lady can travel without male pro-
tector. This hideous outrage should be a
warning to prevent future crimes of SIM
liar description. 1t would have been SIM
pie matter for the conductor to have left one
of the trainmen, or for some chivalrous
passenger to have stopped at Utica and in
voked the aid of the authorities, to ascertain
whether the story of the villains was true or
false. This would have saved the unfortunate
lady from fate worse than death. A some

that no other railroad train will ever be

COY. PALMER,s TESTIMONY.

The evidence of Ex-Gov. Palmer, of
Illinois, closes for the time being the inquiry
of the Potter committee as to the electoral
frauds in Louisiana. Gov. Palmer was the
chairman of the committee of visiting
statesmen of the Democratic persuasion, and
ought to have had facilities for watching the
work of the returning board. But these
facilities were refused him absolutely, al
though the Republican visitors were freely
accorded the privilege of watching the prog
ress of the count. This of itself is a sig
nifcant fact, suggestive of an intention to
deal unfairly. He bears testimony to the
reluctance of the members of the returning
especially Madison Wells-to fill the
board by the appointment of good man
who should be above reproach-another sig
nifcant fact. Further he testifes to the
criminal ineffciency of Kellogg in his pun
ishment of crime. No effort was made, he
states, to ascertain the perpetrators Of any of
the outrages committed. OF to bring them to
punishment, and it was very evident that
neither Kellogg nor any of the other Repub-
lican officials desired to prevent or punish
them, relying upon their existence as means
for carrying elections. 1t was very apparent
that if political outrages were completely
suppressed, there would be no excuse fol-
throwing out votes, and, consequently, the
Republican regime would have been ended
in an incredibly short space of time.
Gov. Palmer is not of opinion that the
election in Louisiana was fair one. He
particular party, although by inference he
asserts that the frauds we're committed by
the Republicans. He shows how great
frauds could have been perpetrated by the
| returning board, which, taken in connec-
ton with the positive evidence of other wit
nesses that such frauds were committed
goes to make up strong circumstantia
case against the Republicans. He shows
that the Republican officials took no steps
towards suppressing riot and bloodshed
thus creating the inference which i.
strengthened by the fact that they uset
them for political purposes-that they en-
couraged outrages simply because it CAV,
them political capital and enabled them t.
retain power through the assistance of fed
eral troops. Altogether, Gov. Palmer's evi
dence is important, more because of tn,
conclusions which it suggests than from tn
statements he makes. He IS a man agains
whose veracity no word can be said, for hi
character is above reproach, and his state
nlents are worthy of the fullest credence.

and needed afterward to secure the results of
the election. He was needed all through, even
in the Senate, to keep up an administration
majority. His opportunities, therefore, have
survived his contemporaries.
The question will be suggested, Why is he
needed more than many other equally able
men? Probably because he is possessed of
a peculiar faculty for deviltry; because he is

ends; because he controls all the disreputable
element in Louisiana politics, and is able to
use it to serve whatever purpose he may have
in view. It is because he is an unprincipled
political trickster that he is needed, and be-
cause of his eminence in this direction
his services are more in demand than those
of less unscrupulous men.

Rumors of g desperate collision between
the factions in Lincoln county have been
afoat here for the last three days, and the
fact of a bloody engagement having taken
place is to-day confirmed in letter received
by the United States attorney of this dis
trict. The facts are that McSween, accom-
panied by sixty-four of his men, appeared in
the town of Lincoln on the 18th inst, for
the purpose of capturing the place from the
Dolan party, which was assisting the sheriff
in holding it. All of the women had been

TIE 4rr4cK UPON BEAcoNsF1E1D.

u
The debate in the British House of Com
mons on Lord Hartington's resolution dis
approving of the treaty of Berlin, commenced
on Monday evening. It is evidently the
policy of Earl Beaconsfeld to let the object-
ors to his policy have full swing. He is con-
fident of the result, having his own adherents
we'll in hand, ready to overcome the opposi-
ton as with an avalanche whenever the
proper time shall come. In pursuance of
this policy the Liberals were allowed almost
the entire time of the sitting to state their
ground of dissent from the policy of the
government, and lay down what arguments
they had why the treaty should not be ap-
proved.
The mover of the resolution found but
little in the treaty of Berlin to criticise.
It was to the Anglo Turkish convention he
most objected. The island of Cyprus, he
commended, was useless for the defense of
Asia Minor, and besides, it should not be the
policy of England to defend Asia Minor.
That was not the road to India, and in as
Stunning protectorate over Asiatic Turkey,
Beaconsfeld had taken too great RESPONSE
bility, from which it was the part of wisdom
to recede before it was too late. With regard
| to the Berlin treaty, Lord Harrington held
that by its terms Russia had obtained more
territory than she had claimed as conditions
of peace-a very palpable misstatement when
we compare the treaty of San Stephano
| with that of Berlin. His associates
on the Liberal side also made attacks upon
the government, but they are meagrely re-
ported and their general drift can only be in
| ferred.
10 all of these structures Mr.. Bourke,
under secretary of foreign affairs, made
brief reply. He held that the policy of the
plenipotentiaries at Berlin had restored the
prestige of England among the nations of
Europe. Had they advised Turkey to accept
the original terms of peace, such step
would have been fatal to English influence.
The Anglo Turkish treaty was menace to
Ru STA only in case of aggressive designs on
her part. The government, he held. should
not shrink from the responsibility entailed,
| when such important results were to be at
tanned.
Judging from the somewhat imperfect
report of the debate, it is very evident that
the Liberal party of England is anti-pro-
gressive and obstructive in its aims. It
deprecates foreign policy which has a
tendency to keep Great Britain in the fore
as governing power over other nations
through cowardly fear that she will incur
obligations that may at some time involve
her in monetary difficulty or endanger her
peace, The national pre-eminence in the
