Summoning Parliament, and the Com.
ments ofthe Press Upon It-Opposition
TO Justice May.
LONDON, December lo.-Gladstone's cir.
cular to the members of the House Of
Commons, desiring their attendance in
Parliament for important business, says:
1.-THE business Of first importance will at
once DO proceeded with"
The Daily MzVs, In a leading editorial
article, commenting on the circular, says:
"It efjectually disposed of the rumors
which had again begin to circulate, that
the Parliament would, after all, be sum.
moned before Christmas, and OF other ru.
mors put forward with semblance OF au.
thority, that the government would be
compelled, in consequence OF division
among the Ministers, to content itself with
q declaratory resolution on the Irish ques-
ton, instead OF proceeding by bill"
The DAILY Nelrs adds: At the same time
most persons will read Gladstone's circu.
lar with distinct sense Of relief. 1t Is
one thing to feel morally certain that the
important business will be entered on at
once. It Ia another thing to be informed
OF the fact by the Prime Minister.
The Times says: The issue OF the cir.
cular to the magistrates by Chief Secretary
Forster for Ireland, o month after Glad.
stones speech in Guild Hall, at the In
auguration OF the Mayor OF London, ia
which he says that the obligation to pro-
tect every citizens life and property may
compel the Government TO ask for an in.
crease OF power, proves that, in the judg-
ment OF the Government ITSELF matters
have grown worse. It proves, also, that
the existing means Of repression are OF no
avail. II, In the face OF existing terrorism,
magistrates and police have not yentured
to enforce the Law, will they be strength
ened to do 90 by Forsters reminder? The
authors OF sedition and its abettors will
laugh at this tardy attemp. to use absolute
weapons for quelling lswlessness, whose
growth they have entirely failed to check.
It may well be asked whether the contin-
gency has not arisen which Gladstone
painted. At q special meeting Of the Fer
magh branch OF the LAID Leagus, yester.
day, q resolution was proposed summon
ing the Government to preven. the Chief
Justice from. trying the trayersers. Ata
meeting in London the Committee of the
Parnell defense fund, Justin Mccarthy
presiding, q resolution was adopted that
a petition be forwarded to the Queen,
through Mr.. Forster, urging that the Judge
may be not allowed to Try the traverseIs.

C0LLIERY CALAMITY.
Terrible Explosion In n Cardiff Mine
Righty.seven Persons Believed TO Have
Lost Their Lives.

Lotk Luelr Lives
CARDIFF, December 10.-A great explo.
sion occurred this morning at the Pery-
craig new colliery, in Shoudda Valley. II
is believed that eiehty.seven persons have
perished. An exploring party discovered
sixteen corpses. The search is impeded
by after.damp and debris. The pit Is
aeventy.eight feet from the scene Of the
great explosion in the Dinas colliery in
the same valley, January ls, 1873, when
about sixty persons lost their lives.
LONDON, December 10.-An explosion
at the Penygraig colliery occurred at forty
minutes past one o'clock this morning.
The shock was so violent that It was felt
for miles around, and the damage was so
great that the explorers were not able to
descend into the mine for some hours.
One shaft was choked. There is not the
slightest hope Of saving any Of the eighty
men and eighteen horses still in the pit.
-Four men have been brought up alive.
A London dispatch says: At the dis.
astrious colliery explosion, one hundred
men were in the colliery at the time Of the
shock. The explosion was felt for miles
around, the earth shaking as II there was
an earthquake. There were also eighteen
horses in the pit, which ia four hundred
and fifty yards in depth. The most intense
excitement prevails throughout the dis.
trict. All the roads and approaches to the
colliery are thronged with men, women
and children. The cries Of the poor peo-
Pile whose relatives are imprisoned are
heart rending. Many volunteers offered
to join an exploring party, but up to
O'Clock no attempt was made to descend
the SHAFT. The colliery Is owned by
Messrs. Raivland 1 Morgans, OF Psnygraig.
The pit is within one-halt mile OF the
Dinas colliery, where the bones Of the
victims Of the explosion OF January Is,
| rs, remain uncovered.
$50 P. Mt is now ascartained that SO
ot the persons who were in the pit at the
time Of the explosion are dead. Seven
corpses have been brought up thus far,
but many others have been discovered
and will be raised this evening.
MIDNIGHT. twenty-five bodies have
been recovered go far, and thirty.four
mora have been seen in the Penygraig pit.

The Misleading Results OF the Census.
We clip the following paragraph from
the Baltimore Sun:
"Ths supervisor appointed by General
Walker, superintendent OF the census, TO
ascertain whether any great amount OF
population failed OF enumeration in 1870,
has eIicsed enough facts to show that the
census takers in that year were lsmentably
deficient in the discharge OF their duties.
While the progress OF Alabama has been
steady and gratifying for the past ten
years, yet portion of the increase Is due
to the better enumeration this year and
the nearer to complete enrolment Of all
the people OF the State this year."
This ascertainnent in regard to Ala
blm1 accords with what We have all
along couteaded must have been the case
il West Virginia in 1870. 1t was appar.
snt, even to superficial observers, that
there could not have been an average in
crease Of 40 per cent in the population Of
the State in the last ten years. We gave
lately some specimens Of the way the
average panued out in adjoining or neigh
boringcouuties, showing that while etheper
cs1t Of increase in railroad centre like
Taylor county was very moderate, 1t was,
on the other hand, excessively high in in
accessible counties like Randolph and
Tucker.
Intelligent people had noticed that full
as many people were going west and south
from the State as were coming into it from
other States, or from Europe. Where then
did the average increase OF 40 per cent
come from? Nobody has offered any sat-
istactory answer to this question. The
plain aud simple solution is that it came
from the defective census Of 1870. Fol
the frat time in our history perhaps, we
have had census this year that is al
least close approximation to reliability

PHILADELPHIA, December 10.-The Pras
will publish tomorrow a letter from Geo;
S. Boutwell,, q. A. Arthur, Noah Davis and
Roscoe Conkling, which, after re-
ferring to tho editorial that appeared
in the Preg Of October 20, 1880, in which
it was alleged that Senator Bsyard
in speech recently delivered at Dover,
referred to the case OF Phelps, Dodge & Co.,
who were compelled some years ago to
refund the government the amount Of du-
ties unpaid on certain undervAlued in
voices, and declared that Senator Conk-
ling, Noah Davis, the District Attorney,
Mr.. Arthur, Collector, Mr.. Jaynes, special
officer, and Geo. S. Boutwell,, Secretary Of
the Treasury, were present in the Custom
House when this money ($267, ,000) was
paid that they divided It among them
selves, and concludes: Amonth has now
elapsed since you thus published and
characterized this reported alliance. The
Stats Sentinel, paper published at Dover,
the place where the speech is said to have
been made, contained, only one day later
than your issue, o like report, yet up TO
this time no disclaimer or retfaction by or
on behalf Of Mr.. T. F. Bayard has ap-
peared as far as we know. We think it
Is time to notice so serious slan-
der, purporting to come from q
member ofthe Senate otthe United States.
We therefore pronounce the statement
by whomsoever made as truthless cal
umny; If It was made with the assertion
that the man who made it had "knowl-
edge and means Of knowledge" Of its
truth, besides being falsehood twas
wilful and wicked ialsehood.

abolish his investigating committee. There
Il no pretense OF future occupation for 1t.
|. cost the government good deal Of
money to crafty Senator Henry's thirst
for fame, but we presume there are some
conpensations in the matter, one Of
which is that the people are now satisfied
that the accounts OF the Treasury Depart
ment, il not just as Ineligible on first
glance as they might be, are at least hon.
es.ly kept. From first to last our Senator
has Jailed to excite the membership OF his
own body over his frequent declarations
not only of his suspicious, but Of his
knowledge Of facts that were bound to
as!ound the country. We always observed
that such SenatorsI as Thurman, who ia
supposed to smile gsaciously on our sena-
tor, and BGyard, who is also gracious to
him. never seemed to get excited over the
probability Of an astounding discovery.
Somehow they could not bring themselves
TO see that it had remained for our Henry

stone than all the rest Of the Democratic
lights who had been picking at it for so
loas time with view Of finding cam
paigu material. They seemed to hang
back and let Henry have free course to
r4n and be gIoriiied all by himself. And
he has had his little run, at cost Of o
good many thousands to the Government,
bat he is not gloriied that any body
knows of. The experts could not find
what no wanted to find, and SO the hunt
has been given up at last.
