| at meetings where murder has been advocated; ns
Is morally responsible for the course things have
| taken. II the Government wanted to produce q
moral effect TO signify TO the IRISH people, that thelI
| turbulence must stop short OF crime. they could
have done it effectually by arresting MI
| Parnell. legal pretext would not have
been wanting, and the fact that no 'con-
viction could have been expected need not have
deferred them in Mr.. Parnclls case if it did not
deter them in Davtt's and KilIen's. These two ore
men of no standing; in no sense, so far as one
hears, they leaders their offence does not ex-
coed the offence Of many other more prominent
men, and the Irish will be likely to say that the
Government did not begin with the leaders because
they dared not. The arrests, in word, will do
good, from the Government point of view, only on
condition that the policy Of repression. of which
they are a sign. Is pursued to the bitter end. If
Mr.. Parnell can be silenced, Mr.. Lowther may re-
jOce; but the first effect OF the new policy is to
elicit from Mr.. Parnel declaration that the course
of the Government, which Mr.. Lowther represents
IN Ireland. is contemplate and cowardly, and that
Ireland is a country where mans liberty is safe.
The Home Rule Executive in London is still more ex-
plict. Mr.. OConnor Power. Mr.. Finegan, and their
comrades express their Indignation at the fact that
the first response of the British Government to the
cry Of distress in Ireland is the arbitrary arrest Of
three gentlemen engaged in defending the rights OF
the suffering tenantry; and they regard these
arrests as characteristic of the despotism, police
rule and espionage which prevail in Ireland, and
they solicit contributions for Defence Fund. The
arrests were made by due process of law they are
no arbitrary than any arrest Of any person ac-
cused of crime is arbitrary and the talk about dcs-
potsm is just fit to keep company with Davltts
about landlord-ty tyranny. Messrs. OCOnnor Power
Il Co. know this perfectly well but they also
know that agitation is not to be kept mp by the use
of reasonable language and there is every sign that
the excitement produced by these occurrences will
manifest itself in flood of words which the
Government may, if it please, base a good many in
dictments 1t will be placed in the pleasant d-
lcmma of having to bring to trial great numbers of
persons whom Irish jures will regard as heroes, or
of modifying the purpose which it has just an
nOunced. The measure it has now taken Is
one of those half measures which signs of weak
rather than strength and it is unhapplly
adopted Mt the moment when display of decision
and vigor was most needed. @. W. 5.

icy TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSE]
WASHINGTON Dec. SIN the Senate this after
MON Mr.. Bavard introduced resolution. which was
raferred 10 the Committee on Finance. providing
that from and after the passage # this resolution
the Treasury notes of the United States shall be re-
ceivable for all dues TO the United States, except
ing duties on imports aud shall not he otherwise
legal tender and any of said notes hereafter rcis-
sued shall bear this superscription"
Senator ingalls, Immediately offered a resolution
which he asked might lie on the table and be
printed 1t expressed the opinion that the present
volume of of United States notes should not be re-
duced aud that said notes ought to continue TO DC
legal tender in the payment of debts
A1RIBuSF correspondent has conversed with n
number of Western Republican Senators in regard
,o the ouesons raised by these resolutions, and he
finds them practically solid in support of the reso-
t,on Of Mr. Ingalls, The Senator himself says it
represents the views of all the Republicans OF the
Mississippi Valley, and probably majority of the
Democrats with an even chance of support among
Republican Senators from States further east,
Among the latter the sentiment is primarily favor
able to the Bayard resolution but the fact that the
Democrats are anxious TO seek issue on fnan-
caJ questions, in order TO divert pubic attention
from the issue on which they have been so disas-
trously defeated, leads Republicans who would
otherwise favor the retirement of the greenbacks
T. acquiesce in postponement of the question until
after the next Presidential canvass.
REPRESENTATIVE Price, who introduced resolution
An the House yesterday sipilar TO that of Senator
Ingalls, had a conversation with Secretary Sherman
this forenoon. lie was told by the Secretary that
he did not desire any financial legislation during
this session.
Secretary Sherman said to n correspondent OF
TnE TRIBUNE this evening that lie did not care to
add anything TO what he had already said on this
subject in bis report. He has always held the
opinions there expressed. and believes now that the
legal-tender property does not increase the valne
of the grcenback or make il any acceptable to
the people. II Congress would make this change,
giving the Secretary time to prepare for it and
authority 10 reduce the value Of outstanding legal
tenders. to $500. 100000. the shock to business
would probably be much less than if the Supreme
Court shonld suddenly decide. year or two from
now, that such notes reissucd after the not
legal tender.
Secretary Sherman said.that be does not now nor
has he ever seen any objection TO the issue Of
Treasury notes provided the volume Of them 10

icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Dec 3.-The attempt to unseat
Representative Orth (Rep. of Indiana, does not APP
pear to make any Roadway in the House Committee
on Elections.
There has been considerable speculation as to
what action the committee would take i'll this case.
If the next President were to be elected by the
House of Representatives, the vote of Indiana
would be requi ed to decide the result. That State
has six Democratic and six Republican Representa-
tiyes and one Greenback Representative-Mr Della
Matyr. The vote of the State would there
fore really be cast by Mr.. De La Matyr,
unless Republican unseated. Every
effort has therefore been made by the Democrats to
make out a case in favor of Mr.. McCabe, who is
making contest for Mr.. Orth's seat.
Toward the close of the extra session Mr.. McCabe,
who had up to that time done nothing To establish
his right TO seatpresened apettion askingfurther
time for taking testimony on the plea of newly dis
covered evidence. The committee gave him fifty
days i'm which to get afidavIts to sustain his petit
tlon Ii appears that he has done nothing about 1t.
At the meeting Of the committee this morning,
Mr.. Weaver (Gbk.l, of Iowa, moved that Mr..
McCabe's petition be dismissed. vote was post
poned until the meeting next Tuesday. Mr..
Springer chairman of the committee, said to-day
that he thinks Mr.. Wcavers motion will prevail,
and that nothing further will be heard of the con
test against Mr. Orth. Republican member
of the committee remarked that he thinks Mr..
Wcaver's motion will receive a unanimous vote.
