The Rumor that the British Forces
Had been Attacked and De-
feated by the zulus
is False,
English Operatives Greatly In
oensed at the Proposed
Reduction of Wages.
CARDINAL MORICCHINI DIVING

LONDON, March 17.-Oporatives at
Blackburn are greatly incensed at the
proposed reductions in wages. A
troop of HusSars and some companies
of infantry were held in readiness at
Preston Friday and Saturday.
A Cairo dispatch says: /" The khe-
dive has informed the British consul
that he apprehends fresh disturbances
unless the cabinet is remodeled." ("
The damage as Sezedin is estimated
at about s1, 100000.
The story that Colonel Pearson had
been attacked at Ekow by a large
force of Zulus, and that the latter
were defeated with great loss, is utter
ly false. 1t was probably circulated
by the ZuluS to delay the dispatch Of
assistance to Ekow. The Orange free
State government has refused aid or to
permit its citizens to aid the British
against the ZuIus on constitutional
grounds.
PARIS, March lit is believed
that WaddingtOn cannot remain pre-.
mier. Fournier is mentioned as his
successor. The opinion gains ground
that Gambetta must assume the pre-,
miership.
Jules Ferry, Saturday, introduced
a bill restoring to the State sole power
Of confirming degrees, excluding four
professOrships of members of unauth
orized religious societies and reorgan
izing council of public instruction s,
as to eliminate clerical elements.

CALCUTTA, March 1.-THE chic

A Disease that wrecks the Svstem


Every function is deransed, every nerve
-unstrung, evory muscle and fiber weakened
by fever and agus. 1t Is, in fact, disease
which, if unchecked, eventually wrecks the
system. In all its types, in every phase, it is
dangerous, destructive. stupor, delrium,
convulsions, often attend it, and cause swift
dissolution. But when cOmbatted with Hos
letters Stomach Btters its foothold in the
system is dislodgod, and every yostige of il
eradicated. The benign anti-fehrile specific
and preventive Of the dreaded scourge Is REQ
ognized not only within our own boundaries,
but in trOpic lands far beyond them, where
intermittents and remittents are fearfuly
prevalent, to be q sure antidOte TO the mala-
rial poison and reliable means Of overcom-
ing disorders Of the stomach, liver and bow.
els Of which vitiated torrid atmosphere and
brackish miasma-tainted water are extremely
provocative. All emigrsnts and travellers
should be supplied with 1t.

LAMENT OF A BARD OF ERIN.
BY S. R. T.

Over her shoulders hung loose her disor-
dored locks-she wept for her own green isle. ]"
When night had folded his sable
wing upon the shores of Antrim, and
the vast pillars of black marble,
whose shadows, projecting far oyer
the foaming waters, were Illuminated
by the rays of the silvery moon, tones
of lamentation and sighs Of woe often
times broke upon the stiffness of the
scene
Was it the plaintive voice of some
stranger bird who, having wandered
afar, bemoaned the rich foliage and
the nutritious grain of his native
land? Was it celestial harmony that
blended with, or was borne trembling
upon the fresh breozes of evening :?
Was it the voice Of spirit, or the
breath Of the wind as it sighed at in
teryals over the swelling billows?
All no it was the voice Of child
of Erin, the hallowed voice of poetry
which thus moaned in the silence of
night Like the ancient bard who
sat upon the rock covered with the
foam of ocean, pressing to his desc
late bosom the harp that had so often
echoed the praises of his own beloved
country then wildly swelling over
the waste Of waters, the lonely bard
would sing lament for the oppres-
sion, the cruel wrongs that Albion
heaped upon his people
Alas the misery that rends thy
teeming bosom, thou noble mother Of
brave men Alas for thy chains
beautiful isle of the sea Whose
noble brow arose amid the nations
encircled with glory, the sign Of re.
demption on thy forehead, radiant
with the laurels of hundred vic
tories.
AS the Son of Man was betrayed by
the faithless Apostle, so vast thou all
tender and true sold by him in whom
thou didst conGde. And now thou
dearest the cross through the world,
jest TO the ribald throng of soldiory,
exposed to the jeors Of the populace,
drinking the chalice of bitterness.
But look up TO heaven for hope and
strength. This cross shall be thy
crown, for thou art chosen as a second
offering Of expiation.
As Ireland fell like the lofty cedar
beneath the ruthless axe, she raised
aloft her mutiated arms in maledic-
tion on the Norman hordes whose
eoursers neighed through her tremb-
ling valleys, as they onward sped to
plant their hated banners upon her
towering hills!
Ye tyrauts, We proud intruders,
the sin be thine, that brothers cry

THE Appeal says that the funding
act and the validity of the State debt
have beenapprOved by the Democratic
party in three separate State conven-
tions. We distinctly remember that
the language Of every platform of that
party has been that it favors the pay
ment of the lust debt of the State
and all the acts of the legislature have
confined themselves to legally issued
bonds. The time has never been when
a resolution could have carried in a
Democratic convention, declaring the
entire debt legal and binding. We
may be mistaken; but we cannot recall
any convention that has said the en-
tire debt Of the State is sacred and
legal. We ask for light from our
morning contemporary.

Senator Hansons speech on the
State debt, as published in yesterdays
Appeal, We are satisfied does that gen
tleman the greatest injustice. He is
reported as occupying extreme high
State credit ground, when everybody
IN this community is acquainted with
the pronounced low tax views of SEN
ator Hanson. He is reported as de-
nouncing the investigating committee;
as denying the charges of fraud and
illegality concerning any Of the debt;
as saying that he would not vote as
low as fifty cents, with four per cent.
lnterst, unless The bondholders consent
to Il; as exclaiming that he would
ascend the gibbet with the enthusi-
asm of religious martyr sooner than
bequeath to his children an inheri
tance Of shame and disgrace by vot-
ing for any of the propositions deemed
right by the people OF Tennessee !;
and as asking What right had they
to discriminate between creditors ?
What right to pay the capital
bonds and reject others?" We
are morally certain that Senator Han
son is incorrectly reported and mis-
represented in this matter. 1t is
known that at the time of his election
he did not entertain nor utter any
such sentiments, nor does he now.
That we may place Mr.. Hanson right
and define his true position to his
people, We make the subjoined extracts
from paper which he wrote to gen.
tlcman in this city who had requested
his views on this subject, and had
suggested Che idea of making bonds
and coupons receivable in payment of
back taxes, so that the old scores
might bo cleared up, Touching these
public matters, the senator replied,
January 23d, 1879:
"Ast TO paying in bonds, think il would
be well provided it was THE RIGHT KIND
OF BONDS. | am not, as the people down
there seem to think, in favor OF placing
all bonds on the same footing. l cannot
sanction the recognition of white series
ID war interest bonds; nor can / green
series 9, for more than 33Hc. In short,
there is only about $l0000000 that l am
willing to recognize as valid; therefore |
should be careful in allowing payment in
bonds. AS to my position on
the State debt question my remarks were
fearfully garbled, and really contained no
substantial part of what said. spoke
in protest against the precedent Of sub
mitting such questions to the people.
voted to submit the ques-
ton to the people and / will NOT vote for
moro thon a 25c tax, nor for any PROPOSE
ton that will require more than that in
the settlement Of our debt
These extracts are emphasized and
punctuatad just as they were writ
ten. 1t is due to Senator Hanson
that the Memphis Appeal, and other
papers which have noticed his late re-
ported speech, should copy the above
extracts, so that it may be seen that
the distinguished senator has been
misrepresented, and that it may be
known what he really does favor.
