THE SHAVING DOWN PROCESS.
General Malone said that the principal
had been fixed upon (at near $50 OO0000W
by careful calculation OF what the State
was entitled TO eliminate. Beyond that
point he was not willing TO go one step. He
warned his party In most emphatic terms
against proceeding beyond that boundary.
Z" A Just settlement OF the debt would mea-
sure up 10 his fail ambition" he declared,
and he wanted the bopdholders 10 have all
that was due them and within the ability OF
the State TO pay.
THE GENERAL.
General Malone had somewhat to say
personal 10 himself, and made few sharp
" digs" at the Funders; but, altogether.
he was in quite as good humor as was to be
"expected under the circumstances" lie
was interrupted over and over again, only
TO answer and return TO his plan with re-
newed zeal and yig0r.
IL was about 10 O'Clock when The caucus
adjourned, 10 meet again this morning at III,
and to resume work on the debt question.
The chances are in favor OF The General
carving the caucus with him. They were
nightly pleased with his speech.
MR.. PAaNBLL IN THE HOUSE.

layne. seconded by Mr.. Edwards, the privi-
leges Of the floor Of the House were eX-
tended TO the Hon. G.. s. Parnell.
Speaker Lacy appointed Messrs. Cham
berlayne and Edwards a committee 10 wait
upon Mr.. Parnell and inform him OF the
action OF the House.
Subsequently the committee appeared, es-
c0rting Mr.. Parne!l.
MIR. ChamberIayne said Mr.. Speaker,-In
obedience to a resolution OF this House lately
adopted, extending the privilege OF the
| floor to Hon. Mr.. Parneli. a member OF Par
| lament. have the honor to present 10 you
the Hon. Mr.. Parnell.
Mr. Speaker Lacy: Mr. Parnell, by COM
mand OF the Virginia House OF Delegates, |
bid YOU welcome TO this hall. You will
find in all Virginia, know, sympathy for
anything interesting any distinguished clli-
zen OF Great Britain, and more especially
interesting the people OF suffering Ireland.
The courtesy of this floor is extended TO
YOU by resolution Of this body.
| Mr. Chamberlayne: | move that the Char

The members were then introduced to
Mr.. Parnell. At the expiration OF the ten

|
nell, who said:
Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen Of the House
OF DelegateS,-I have been permitted by
vour kindntsS TO say a word or two in reply
and in return for the advantage you have
given me in being presented to your famous
| House.
! feel il great honor, great courtesy
and kindness, in being allowed to enter
your House and 10 say word upon the
subject Of the cause Of my suffering coun-
| try.
/ am sorry TO say that in Ireland we do
not eniOv the blessing Of freedom. Our
people, il they desire to obtain comfort and
happiness, have to look to the land OF the
West, which has has been refuge for 80
many millions, and TO the great State OF
| Virginia, which has always welcomed us
| kindly.
IL perchance in the near future another
wave OF emigration sets in, believe many
OF our people. remembering the past KIND
ness, will turn their face 10 this state. In
that event it would be my task to endeavor
TO send them in such way as TO enable
them to take advantage OF the magnificent
resources OF your country. lApplause.l
Unfortunately the history OF Irish emf
grafton has been a sad one. Our people
starvation, without the means and without
the education TO tit them for the work in
the new world.

there must bet should be the duty OF
statesmen in the new and IN old countries
to see that our people are better equipped
for tneir new life, instead OF being shovelleo
upOn YOUR cOast-a disgrace to my country
won't say country, but to the Govern
ment. would like to see them come witt
: some means to enable them to start ant
Dush out into the land instead OF being
compelled to earn daily wages about Tx
eastern cities. Our people are emlnentil
fitted for agricultural pursuits. They have
sDent their lives in these pursuits. WHY
should they not turn to the same life, OF
their arrival, with which they are familia
