SECRETERY SHERMAN AND THE
PET BANKS.

Fom the New York Times, Rep.
The Secretary stigmatizes as false the
statements that the order of August IL
was issued to relieve the banks, or to
he lp any one, or because he was inter-
ested in any bank, but his explanation
leaves the trausactr onpretty much where
itswas before. Accepted as the result Of
the best possible motives, it was still the
exercise Of 4 discretion which the Trea-
surys ought not to possess, and whose
exercise could. only be justified by much
,graver reasons than those adduced.
Once concluded, the terms of this or
any other bargain between the treasury
and the natio, al banks should have been
strictly adhered to, and the money mar
ket left to take care of itself.

EUROPE.
The Irish Agitation.

LONDON, Nov pa despatch from Dublin
to the Standard says the Government has de-
termined to abandon all preliminary difficulties
which might obstruct the obtaining of loans
from the Board of Public Works for the i'm
provement of estates, and in order to expedite
the expenditure of money strictly for the en-
ployment of unskilled labor, they will immedi-
ately give loans TO land owners and sanitary
boards. They will add to the principal the
cost of the preliminary proceedings and the
interest on the sum borrowed, allowing two
years grace. Repayment, therefore, will COM
mence at the beginning of the third year. This
concession will only take effect IN districts
which Government will declare to come under
the designation of distressed districts"
The Dublin Irish Times states that it is pos
sible the Government may be induced, on the
memorial of boards of guardians, to grant
money to assist emigration from localities
where other arrangement is unable to cope
with any threatened calamity.
The London correspondent OF the Manches-
ter Guardian says discussion now princi-
pally turns Oh the point whether the words
used by Michael Davitt and others were within
the scope of the sediton law, whether the Gov
eminent will be able to obtain their convlc-
ton. There is much doubt of this, even among
eminent lawyers. On the other hand there IS
no question of general desire for some vindi-
cation of the authority of the law. 1t is not
believed there can be any section of the British
Deople, nor any considerable number of Irish
who do not wish to see the end of the agitation
for nonpayment of debt, and that being ended,
it is thought there will be an increased dlsposl-
tion to have regard to the more acceptable
claims of Irish politicians.
At a meeting at Loonamoore, near Balla,
Ireland, Messrs. Parnell, Gray and others were
present Resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the action of the government, but urging
the people to quietness. The meeting was
large and no trouble is reported.

THE SAVAGES SIMPLY VANCOUVER
ING TO GAIN TIME.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Prominent army
officers in this city are by no merns sanguine
of the attainment of success by the Ute COM
mission (of which Gen. Hatch is PRESIDENT in
its efforts to procure the designation or sur
render by the White River Utes of the murder
ers of Agent Meeker and the instigatols of the
treacherous assault upon Thornburgh's COM
mand. On the contrary the belief generally
expressed in, army circles that the Indians
have been and are still simply trying to gain
time in hope that military operations against
them will be prevented by winter weather and
that the guilty members of the tribes may
scatter before spring opens so as to eude
either detection or punishment.
Gen. Sherman said yesterday that he hoped
for the best but there was no telling what
would take place. He had given orders, he
said to leave no means unturned to make our
soldiers, at present in camp i'll the Ute coun-
try, as comfortable as possible, and had direct
ed that shelter, clothing and the best OF food
that could be procured be furnished them. In the
event of the Interior Departments failing in
its present efforts to obtain possession OF the
murderers the army would be on the spot and
make short work of them in the spring or
sooner if necessary. lie believes that the
winter will have so reduced the condition of
their ponies as to make it impossible for them
to escape Other officers of experience in In
dian wars remark that in only one instance in
the whole history of our country's Indian
troubles has an Indian chief delivered up for
capital punishment guilty member of his
tribe, that case being that of Billy Bowlegs,
thesSeminole chief, during the Florida war, he
having surrendered three of his tribe to
Gen. Twigg to be executed.
