mists had compact body of $50 members,
and after the Orleanist pretensions had been
subordinated to the claims of the older branch
of the Bourbons they were in a position to
restore the monarchy. The conspiracy failed,
and the Legitimist party is now dwIndling 10
narrow proportions. Our Paris correspondent
telegraphs that the results of the Department
elections have thrown the Reactlonary lac
tons into Consideration. Well ii may. Gam
BETA evidently has the country behind him.
The activity of Mr. GladstOne's Ministry has
been almost unprecedented. With session OF
barely more than ten weeks before them, they
introduced as many as fourteen measures OF
extreme importance. These iNcludcd the
Burials bill, the Elementary Education bill,
the Scotch Secondary Education bill, the
Ground Game bill, the Compensation for
Disturbance bill, the Employers Liability
BILL the Customs and Revenue bill, the Irish
Relief bill, the Census bill, the Ballot Act
Renewal bill, and four other measures. Under
the circums tances the defeat of the Irish Com
pensation for Disturbance act is highly ex-
aSperating to statesman of Mr.. Gladstone 5
temperament. He cannot take advantage OF
the Royal Prerogative, as he once dd III
abolishing Purchase in the Army after bill
which had passed the Commons was defeated
in the Timer House His only resource is to
90 forward with undated energy and to pro
long the session until the majority of the re-
naming measures shall have been acted upon.
The Buiials bill is sent back to the House OF
Lords with important amendments. which VIII
make il more acceptable to the NoncOn-
formists. The Ground Game bill and the
Employers Liability act have also been sent
to the same Chamber. These are excellent
measures, which the Lords will scarcely ven
ture to throw out. Our special cable dis
patches throw much light upon this body OF
new legislation.
The reception Of the Republican candidate
for the Presidency in all the counties OF The
Southern Tier was hearty aud enthusiastic.
As General CARTE Id himself remarked, all
New-Yolk seemed to be out-Ol-dOOrs. AT
every sta ton where the special train stopped
between Jersey City and Salamanca the car
was best eyed with throngs of Republicans
eager to catch glimpse OF their leaders
face and to hear his voice. AT Paterson there
were 5000 people assembled to greet him.
At Middlctown there was another dense
crowd. At Port Jervis General Garfield made
o capital speech with pointed references to
The birthplace Of De Witt Clinton and to the
stone which marks the meeting place of three
States. At Hancock the nomenclature would
have caused some embarrassment if General
Garfield had not had the tact to culoglze one
Of the greatest OF the Gener5 Of the Decla-
ration. At Susquehauna, Binghamton
Owego, Wavery, Elmira, Corning, Addison
and HoucLvile speeches were made by
General Garfield and his travelling com
panions, and good feeling and enthusiasm
were infectious. At Binghamton there was az
assemblage Of 5000 people, and az Corning 9
car had been effectively decorated and trans
formed into a reception parlor. This series OF
oii-hand demonstrations is a signal proof OF
the popularity Of the candidate and the pro-
found interest which the people are already
taking in the campaign There has been nc
time for preparations. There is nothing forced
or mechanical in the enthusiasm with which
the leader is greeted. The people have gone
out to meet him in their own hearty way, ant
he has returned their greeting with unaffected
franhness and simplicity.
