A NEW YORK RTcId CORRESPONDENT
has had lengthy interview with Mr..
Parnell, the great Irish agitator, at his
estate at Avondsle, in the county of
wicklow. Mr.. Parnelps words are ex-
ceedlngly interesting at this moment for
he gives in his conversation a clear idea
OF what his methods are forallevistino
the present misery of Ireland and Of
placing the land system on new snd.
according to him, promising basis
briefly told, Mr.. ParnelPs plan is that
the British government shall purchase
the land of Ireland from the present
landlords, paying a fair price at valus-
ton made by an appointed committee,
and that then the peasant proprietors
shall be permitted to take possession of
the land paying for it by installments
extending over period of thirty five
years. In this way the government
would receive back its capital with in
terest; and O. the tenent or his lineal de-
scendant would become owner in fee
forever, end all paying of rent would
eeass."

THERE died at Geneva three weeks
ago NJ. Jacob Vignier, the last scion of
an ancient house, probably the most
ancient of its kind in Europe. Fourteen
generations of Vigniers have followed
the calling of notary III the city of
Geneva. For upwards of four hundred
years the business has decended from
father to sou. Never once since the
middle of the fifteenth century until
the death OF this last chief has s descen.

Taxing Seanestered Pr0nertY.

The much discussed proposition to tax
the property of religious, educational and
charitable institutions has been brought be-
fore the Connecticut legislature in a some
what modified form, which seems to obviate
the most Objectionable features of the orig.
inal proposition. The Connecticut bill con-
templates the taxing of property not actu-
ally and directly occupied by these institu-
tions. The revenue derived by some of the
latter from these outside possessions is very
large, and a portion could easily be spared
to tighten the burdens of the working part
of the community. 1t is right that it should
do so. Trinity church, of New York city,
with its millions, many Catholic cathedrals
in the country, and the richly endowed col
leges ought to contribute their share towards
the support of the government which pro-
tect them in the enjoyment of their wealth.
This is an exceedingly important question,
and the result of the Connecticut movement
will be watched with good deal of interest
by the whole country. 1t is a most difficult
question to deal with, but so large an
amount of property is now exempted from
paying its share of the expenses of the
government, that the present system has be-
come an abuse, and needs to be corrected,
or abrogated entirely. There is no reason
in the world why the poor man who owns a
little real estate should be made to give a
certain per cent. of its value yearly for public
purposes, and the rich corporation, with its
thousands of dollars worth of paying prop
erty should be allowed to go scot-free.

The Teller Committee.

The majority of the Senate committee,
raised under the resolution of Senator Blaine
commonly called the Teller committee
has submitted its report to the Senate. Itputs
in permanent form large mass of facts
which were already pretty well known to
the country. The charges of Senator Blaine
and others, made in the Senate when the
committee was raised, have been amply sus-
tanned by an overwhelming array of wit
nesses. The report gives the testimony of
ninety-one witnesses in Louisiana and one
hundred and seven in South Carolina. 1t
is shown that in the latter state the tissue
ballot fraud extended to every county but
one. In Louisiana the evidence shows that
more than thirty political murders were com
mitted. The committee found a widespread
determination in both these states to restrict
the freedom of speech on political questions,
upon the claim that the discussion of the re-
lations of labor to capital, employees and EN-
ployers, and other kindred subjects, is cal
culated to array colored citizens against the
whites, and thus endanger the safety Of the
people.
As to the effort to right these great wrongs
the committee say 4" No prosecutions have
been instituted by the state of South Caro-
lima against the violators of her laws, and no
effort made to punish the men who have
thus wantonly outraged her citizens. and
when the United States courts have been
resorted to for the purpose of Furnishing the
outrages on the ballot, the complainant
has In very many instances been arrested,
clearly in violation of law, by the state
authorities on charges of perjury, and com
mitted to Jail unless he gave bail. Citizens
are threatened that if they punish the Of
tenders in the United States courts the wit
nesses will be punished in the state courts,
and thus the state not only declines to
punish these criminals, but refuses to allow
it to be done in the United States courts.
The state government is white mans
government; no colored men are represented
in it and, so far no man connected with it
has had the honesty, courage, or humanity
to attempt to redress the outrages of these
unfortunate men of color. The laws of
South Carolina and Louisiana are undoubt-
eddy sufficient for the protection of all their
citizens, but there has been lamentable
failure to enforce them" This is a sharp
and severe indictment, but the evidence to
sustain it is unanswerable. The facts war
rant every word of it.

ORANGE AT school meeting in District No.

This worthy couple, with their five children, who
fortunately were all at home, greeted their old
friends cordially, and II was quite evident from
appearances that the surprise that was intended
for them WAS not exactly a surprise, after ALL
ADJUSTMENTS were varied and entertaining; and
ere there any percepube decline in the ex-
element supper was announced and Immediately
all were ushered into the dining hall, where the
tables groaned beneath their load OF good cheer
After the inner man had been refreshed, the crowd
adjourned To the parlors where an original poem
was read by Mr. Walter Barnes, OF Chelsea, who
also rendered To Mr. and Mrs Huse several pres
ents, consisting OF various pieces OF silver ware
together with shining pile OF silver coin Mr.
Barnes eloquent presentation speech was grace
fully responded u by the happy pair and then
came the congratulations from many old and
valued friends, whose good wishes all possessed
the charm OF sincerity. All felt royalty enter
tanned, and departed at a late hour, earnestly
wishing them continued prosperity and happiness

that land from whose bourne no traveller re-
turns -. Edgar Curtis will entertain his friends

The Potter RepOrt,

The long promised report of this famous
committee is at length made, and amounts
to nothing more or less than tedious repe-
tition of the stale charges of fraud, The
committee was created for the purpose of
fastening forged letter on Secretary Sher-
man and duplicating him in corrupt bar
gain. In this attempt it utterly fails; it
was bafiied at every turn it could produce
nothing but lying witnesses and perjured
testimony which it has been compelled in
sheer shame to disown and repudiate Thus
it completely broke down in the primary
purpose for which it was appointed. The
other special theme of inquiry was one not
contemplated at the beginning-the cipher
business. And the defense on this point
has not been more successful than the at.
tack on the other. The democratic major
ity may undertake TO denounce the scape.
goats, aud to declare the chief exonerated
but they treat the whole with wry face
These were the particular matters referred
to the committee; all the rest was tho old
story; and Mr.. Potter and his associates
undertake to cover up the failure on the
former by a loud din over the latter. They
repeat the well-worn chapters of Florida ant
Louisiana which democratic newspaper,
have recited thousand times. The country
is familiar with all this stuff. 1t know,
that the questions were reviewed by thu
electoral commission and it accepts the de
cision of that great tribunal.

submitted report, tending to disprove tn

Blaine and COnkling.

An intelligent Washington correspondent
writes as follows touching the personal feud
which has long been known to exist between
these distinguished Senators During the
three days debate in the Senate last week
on the Chinese question it was an entertain
ing thing to observe the actions of Blaine
and Conking. These high-spirited rivals,
as usual, took opposite sides on the subject
under discussion. They both made several
speeches. For a wonder Conkling deigned
to listen to Blaine, and vice versa. But
though pitted against each other in debate,
neither would allow himself to refer, even
indirectly, to anything the other had said
They have not spoken TO each other, or in
any way recognized each other, for thirteen
years, although at every session of Congress
during that time they have been ia attend
ance at the Capitol, and have been rub
bling against each other. They sit in the
Senate chamber less than fifteen feet apart
talk over each others head look at one an
other come constantly to within foot of
each other, but so far as any recognition of
each others presence is concerned, they are
both blanks. One may search the Congress
sional Record in vain for a single word ut
tered by Conkling since Blaine entered the
Senate, which in the remotest degree sug
gests that the Senator from New York was
aware that there is any such person as the
Senator from Maine. Blaine has once Spoken
of some amendment or other offered by th'
Senator from New York, but he has neve
gone further than this in referring to Conk
linz"

Veto OF the Chinese Bill.

On Saturday the President transmitted to
Congress his veto of the bill to prevent Chi
nese immigration. In 80 doing he acted in
accord with intelligent opinion in all parts
of the country, with the exception of the
Pacific coast. The message is a creditable
document, going into the history of our
treaty relations with the Chinese empire
and of the immigration of Chinese subjects.
1t deals very plainly with the method by
which the bill proceeds as false pretence,
points out that as the limitation OF num-
bers of immigrants to be brought has no re-
lation to the size of ships, and is not other
wise provision for the safety of passengers +;
it is a subterfuge the purpose Of which is to
suppress right guaranteed by the treaty
II then touches the provision for the abro-
CATION of two articles of the Burlingame
treaty, and points out that these articles, if
we are to keep the treaty, are the very ones
that would give us the right to demand of
the Chinese themselves the correction of
abuses in emigration. One of the strongest
points made by the President is that Con-
gress or any other branch of the govern
ment cannot abrogate a part of a treaty
and leave the balance in force, since that
would be equivalent to one power making
a treaty which would be binding upon two
nations. Another point which is of no lit
tie importance is that the proposed law
would revoke the treaty and leave all of our
citizens now in China without protection
This of itself alone is a sufficient justifca-
ton for the veto of the bill, if the higher
incentives of national honor are not strong
enough to make us keep our treaty obliga-
tions. Mr.. Hayes has done manifest duty
bravely and well. And nowhere will this
fact receive more cordial recognition than
in New England, where fidelity to human
rights is deemed so essential a quality in pub
lie life. The attempt to rally the two-thirds
vote in the House necessary to pass the bill
over the veto failed, one hundred and nine
members voting for the measure, and nine
ty-fve against. Most of the negative votes
came from the Republican side, though
fourteen democrats, including Hewitt of
New York, Morse of Massachusetts, and
Landers, Phelps and Warner of Connecticut
sustained the President. General Butler,
Foster of Ohio and Hale of Maine voted to
override the veto.

Treason EulOgized.

We apprehend the country is hardly pre-
pared for such an unblushing attempt to al
most deity the champion traitor of the
country and the age as was made i'll the
United States Senate last Sunday morn
ing. The session itself was most fragrant
insult to the moral sense of the country, but
its doings made it ncomparably worse. The
Mexican pension bill was under considera-
tion-whch is emphatically a Southern
measure-when Senator Hoar moved that
the name of jefferson Davis be omitted from
the roll. This exasperated Senator Lamar,
of Mississippi, hitherto not reckoned among
the fre-eaters-who said al must confess
my surprise and regret that the Senator
from Massachusetts should have wantonly
and without provocation flung this insult.
The only difference between myself and
jefferson Davis is, that his exalted charac-
ter, his eminent ability, his well established
reputation as statesman, as patriot and
as a soldier, entitled him to take the lead in
the cause to which / consecrated myself,
and to which every hbre oil my heart warmly
responded" Then followed an euogy upon
jeff. Davis, in which he was compared to
Washington, and characterized as the ideal
statesman of the South. He repudated the
attempt of Senator l1oar to impute treason
to him, and said that when Prometheus was
bound it was vulture, not an eagle, that
was found gnawing at his vitals. Senator
Blaine responded and said 1t would be
necessary for humanity to forget its inter
ests and patriotism to give place to crime
before history will give Jefferson Davis a
place beside George Washington"
The vote being taken, the motion of Sen
ator Hoar was adopted by only one majority
every democrat voting sustaining Lamar
