The american Reprint Ofthe En-
cNcIODediO britannica.

We wish to call the attention Of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedias Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one half its original cost and per-
feet in all its parts every word cut, illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
Letters like the following show what the lead
ing men of the age think of this great work.
Letter from Prof. DaUid SaUing Of Chicago.
The American Reprint of The Encyclopedia
Britannica is library with an index-a library
upon great themes by great men. I am glad to
see this edition now first published in America.
While poetry deals in sentiment and fiction in
dreams and Visions this work deals in facts; it is
the foundation-stone of wide learning.

The Encyclopedia Britannica is, outside OF
the Bible, the most valuable work in the English
language, It's articles bring down all scientific
and other discoveries to the date Of their issue,
so that the general reader who wishes to know
what has been discovered on any matter has on
ly t O refer to its pages. Through the enterprise
of Messrs. Stoddart of Philadelphia, this great
work is being reprinted in our country, and sold
at half the cost of the English edition AS the
accuracy Of the Reprint is guaranteed, the pur-
chaser obtains for a very small sum what is it
self perfect library. To buy an abridged en-
cyclopedia, VIII en- one so copious and so recent
can be had for nearly the same cost is to show
ones self fit for the lunatic asylum.

The time for theories, vagaries and fancies, both
in science and religion, is past. Men are asking
ever. where what are the facts These truths
and their relations to each other constitute true
knowledge, and knowledge crystallized-or the
best thought of the age every subject conden-
sed and brought within the scope of set OF
books constitutes the true encyclopedia and such
is the Encyclopedia Britannica.

THE IRISH AGITATORs.- Oct
pa private conference oftenant farm

Irish counties sent ther delegates Cork
and Marlborough, Galway, and Ennis
earthly, Ballinrobe in the county of Mayor
Tipperary and Sligo were particularly
strongly represented. Mr.. Parnell, NJ.
P, was present, The conference was
held for the purpose of forming an Irish
land league, which should compass two
main objeet--the first being the reduc-
ton of rack rents, the second that occu-
piers Of the land might have facilities for
obtaining the ownership Of it. Mr.. Par
nell was unanimously elected president.
Long discussions ensued, the sense Of the
meeting being that the time was gone
when landlords could be asked to abate
their rents; that the people who titled the
soil had the right to live on it; and that
even if a general abatement of rents were
made, this would avail little without Sc
curity of tenure. The charges of Rovyism
brought against the movement by opposi-
ton journals were Indignantly refuted
andithe sending Of "cofin notices. andial
violent measures deplored, but letter
was read from Major O'Gorman, M P,
in which the writer declared before AL
mighty God that the Irish had more cause
for violence than had the French in 178e
Finally it was determined to draw the
counties together into solid organiza-
ton during the coming winter, and thus
defend the farmers against those threats
of eviction which now hung over them,
Resolutions were passed inviting Mr.. Par
nell to proceed to America and there win
the sympathies of the Irish for their af
hicted fellow countrymen.

The post Office war at Blackville, Sc,
is developing some new phases of demo
cratic rancor and rebel proclivities. Mr..
Nix, the present colored republican
postmaster, whose life has been threaten
ed by democrats, it appears, was appoln-
ted to succeed the former rebel Postmis-
tress, Miss Maher, for cause. The
charges against her were to the effect
that her loyalty to the bull-dozers was
such that it was impossible to send re-
publican documents through the Black
Vile post office, and that republican
documents and letters addressed to re-
publican citizens were always opened and
delivered to democrats, the latter threat
ening to do violence to the person to
whom they were addressed if any at
tempts should be made to obtain the docu-
ment from the office. Now, since the
attempt to assassinate Nix, a paper, un-
der date of October T. at Blackville, has
been signed by persons calling themselves
LAWYERS, ETC., recommending Miss Maher
as an efficient officer, and asking for her
reappointment. This document has been
received at Washington. 1t is endorsed
by EHamburg' Butler, Wade Hampton,
the governor of the state, state treas
urer, recorder, and others high in au-
thority, including the local court officials
who refused to take any steps to arrest
or prosecute Williams the would-be
murderer of Nix. The department, to
this time has received no charges against
Nix, and Hampton and senator Butler
do not state in their endorsement how
they propose to dispose of Nix.

WASHINGTON, June Al.-Mr. Cobb, rising to
question of personal privilege, sent to the
clerks desk and had read an extract from the
Indianapolis Journal of the 18th inst. charg-
ing him with having repeated the threadbare
lie about Massachusetts regiment interfering
with voters III Indianapolis on October 18.
1864. He also had read extracts from other
papers and let ers received In corroboration of
the statement which he had made in his
speech, and again reiterated the charge that
the election referred to had been inrerfered
with by tn Masss chusetts regiment.
Mr.. Warner. who had been stationed at In
dianapolis in October, 1864, stated it had Off
oially come his knowledge that there had
been interference at the electioEs.
Mr.. Brown denied the truth of the state
ment made by his colleague. The reason why
the Massachusetts, regiment had been quartered
at indianapolis THAT a conspiracy had oetn
unearthed, having az its objec' the Inversion
of the State govern nent and turning 1T over t.,
the Confed racy. He didn't charge 1t was a
Democratic conspiracy, but all the persons
who had been tried and convicted had been
Democrats, and not a single Republican had
been implicated. -
Mr.. Coub asserted that Republicans had been
connected with that conspiracy.
MIR. Baker also denied Cobb's statement, and
alluded to the connection OF tue Democratic
party with the knights Of the Golden Circle.
Daily globe., 1879-06-22

He regretted to see that his friend from Ohio,
(Warner) had so forgotten the lofty Inspirations
with which he had been instigated IN 1864 that
now, in order to get himself on terms of good
fellowship with those he had fought against he
had got to hurl his darts over his shoulder ut
the men whom he then commanded.
MIR. De La Ma'yr entered his earnest protest
against uncovering the dead. He had given
three years-three earnest years. We had been
fighting ghost ever since. He despised and
hated this fighting of ghosts. (Applause on
the Democratic side.)
MIR. Warner, after great deal OF noise and
confusion, obtained the floor in order to reply
to the remarks of Mr. Baker. He repudiated
the statement that he stood on different ground
now from that on which he stood in 1864.
Mr.. Baker thought the gentleman from Ohio
was in the condition of a political Rip Van
Wrinkle, who had gone to sleep on the vanguard
of liberty, in the ranks of the Republican
party, and had walked on the other side. (Jeers
on the Democratic side)
The matter was then adopted.
MIR. Kenna, from the committee on enrolled
bills, reported the army appropriation bill and
it signed by the Speaker. ...... r..
The House then resumed in the morning hour
consideration of the bill prohibiting political
assessments. Mr.. Hostetler withdrew the de-
mand for the previous question and moved to
refer the bill to the committee Of the whole,
and on that motion demanded the previous
question. The Republicans then, notwith-
stanaing an intimation from Mr.. Springer that
the bill would not be taken up for consideration
at the present session, refrained from voting,
thus leaving the House without quorum.
During one of the roll calls q message was
received from the President announcing his
approval of the,legislative bill. The announce
ment was greeted with applause on the Repub-
lican side, and Mr.. Garfield remarked: We
have provided for ourselves, now let us pro
vide for the rest of the government.
The supplementary judicial bill, enrolled
was signed by the Speaker, and sent to the Sen
ate for the signature of the presiding officer OF
that body.
The morning hour expired without any az
tion on the political assessment bill, and i
went over until next norning.
During the days session there was utte
apathy manifested, so that 1t was almost i'm
possible ia obtain a quorum on any vote, al
though on one Of the roll calls 1S9 member
| answered.
The bill to establish post roads in certail
States passed.
The Senate amendments to the House bill fo
in the debate on which MIR. Baker opposed tn
that would rost one hundred million of dollar
great work in which men from the North an
from the South could Clasp hands to get
were concurred in, 1865 to II. The principa
amendment is to make the number Of commits
| soners sever, and it announced by Mr.
Hooker that professor Hilgard is to be the ac
