IRELAND. Secretary Foster issued circu.
lar last week to the magistrates of Ireland in.
slsting that more attention be paid to the sup
preston of disorders, and intimating that adj
ditional military would be sent to their aid
Since then not only two additional regiments
have been sent, but the cabinet in council, at
Fosters request, have asked the Queen to sus'
pend the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland
Every hour appears to increase the gravity of
the situation.
Healy and Walsh, two OF the indicted agta-
tors, had their trial at Dublin on Tuesday and
were acquitted. John Power, tried before the
Cork assize for being one Of party of armed
men who forcibly entered house from which
tenants had been evicted near Tralce and slit
the ears Of the occupant was also acquitted
on Tuesday.
Capt. Stackpole, a wealthy farmer, attempted
to sell some of his horses in Limerick last
Saturday, but a bell.man, in the Land League
interest, paraded the streets forbidding people
to purchase. In consequence, and illustrating
the existing terrorism, no sale was effected.
ENGLAND-There was fearful coliery ex.
plosion at Pennygrieg in Wales on the 10th,
in the new colliery in Shonda valley Full a

but 20 Of the bodies had been recovered.

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The only dlssonant voice, among all the
higher officials Of the Hayes administration
in reference to the silver dollar, Is that of Mr..
Burchard, superintendent of the mint So far
from agreeing with the presidents recommen-
dahon to stop its coinage or Secretary Sher.
mans to increase its weight, he thinks we
can 60 on with the coinage at the present rate
without disturbing the money market or the
relations between the two precious metals, for
fifteen years, or TIL we have as many dol
lars in circulation, or in the treasury, as
France has 5-franc pieces, which is about $685..
100000. He thinks that 1t would be possible
to run the business of the government without
trouble with a gold balance IN the treasury as
low as $25, 100000. All that is needed, in his
opinion, is to have enough so that the govern
ment can continue to pay out either gold or
silver unfortunately when called for and
as long as this can be done silver will
not depreciate. Experience has shown during
the last few moHths that the people are really
more 10th to take gold for ordinary purposes
than silver. This Mr.. Burchard explains by
the fact that for small amounts, IN the way of
change merely, silver dollars are found to be
more convenient, and for larger sums the bills
are preferable, so that for actual circulation
gold finds no place. Should any attempt be
made by Congress to interfere with the coin
age of the silver collar, Mr.. Burchard Will
oppose 1t strenuously. He shows that only
aA- nnn nnn g. a., III no
is there as part Of the reserve, the rest being
in circulation in the form OF silver certificates,
the coin being merely held as deposit, &C.
cording to law, for the redemption of this
this paper whenever called for The silver
dollar Is rapidly increasing in favor in the
west being called for with greater freedom
the better it is known. ltIs sent to applicants
to the nearest sub-treasury free of express
charges.

PANAMA CANAL.-The most cheering news
continues to come from Paris for the success
of the De Lesseps Panama Canal project. All
the stock asked for has not only been subscrib-
ed, but whereas but 100000 shares were offered,
the applications are for 100000 and the CON-
pany will be compelled to parcel out the shares
by allotment. The company have offered
Richard w. Thompson, Hayes's secretary of
the navy, the craftsmanship of the American
branch as well as the Presidency of the whole
company, and as the salary offered is $25, 900
year, "the ancient mariner of the Wabash"
eagerly accepts the offer and promptly resigns
his seat in the cabinet. Meantime bets are
freely offered in Washington that Thompson
will never draw the first quarter Of his salary,
and the stories about the rush for shares IN
Europe are set down as Lesseps gas and
fustian.
The stories, whether true or not, have, howev-
or, given a new impetus to the Nicaragua ship
canal movement and bill has been introduced
IN congress, and will probably be passed, to
organize company for its construction, with
Gen. Grant at its head, and E. D. Morgan, II.
]. Jewett, Howard Potter, VIM. r. Garrison,
Frederick Billings, Geo. w. Riggs and others
among the original corporators.
No doubt ship canal by the Nicaragua
route can be constructed for half the cost OF
the Panama canal, and would be a shorter
route to California, China, &c, by 700 miles.
Besides the government favors that route,
while the Hayes administration is strongly
disposed to throw obstacles in the way Of the
De Lesseps company by putting forward un.
pleasant pretenslons to control arising out OF
the Monroe doctrine.

Mr.. Calkins secured the passage by the

Mr.. Calkins secured the passage by the
house of resolution on Monday expressing
sympathy with the unhappy laboring classes
of Ireland.
1t Is found that Taylor, who was elected to
FIJI the vacancy IN what was Mr. Garfied's
congressional district at the time OF his last
election to congress, cannot take his seat, as
the district has been changed and wiped out
by the Ohio Legislature since Garfield's cleo
ton.
The republicans in their factious opposition
to the Morgan resolution for the restoration of
JOINT rule % for counting the electoral vote,
are likely to be "hoist by their own petard."
VERY WE'LL say the democrats, "it you refuse
to allow this or some like rule to be adopted,
there is no rule or law for joint meeting OF
the houses to count the presidential vote, and
none can be held yet the vote can only be
counted in the presence of the two houses So
the democrats have let the Morgan rule drop,
and now if the republicans want JOINT meet
ing of congress to count the presidential vote
they must propose some rule on the subject,
and the democrats will vote for no other than
the one they have fillibusered to defeat. 9th
erwise there can be no count over which at
least the democrats are not gong to be greatly
worried

JOHN KELLY.

The democracy OF the country generally
will not be dlsplcased to learn that John
Kelly, the noted New York "boss," has had
his head cut off, His power as political
/ leader arose from the fact Of his holding the
comp!rollcrship of New York city, an officer
through whose hands all the bills had to pass
and who thus enjoyed almost unlimited power
TO reward friends and punish enemies. He
! became boss of the Tammany Association and
through 1t ruled the democracy of the city
lie was so inflated with his power that he un.
dertook to rule the democracy of the state, and
because Gov Robinson and his friends refused
to knuckle under to him he threw the vote of

mer. Kelly professed great friendship for
Hancock and earnestness in his support but

in the city, appeared equally earnest in sup,

as much as Tammany, Kelly became jealous

the usual democratic majority in New York

That happened last week, and Cooper, instead

bell comptroller. Kelly thought he had
friends enough in the Board of Aldermen to
defeat Campbells confirmation, but when 1t
came TO a vote, two of the friends upon whom
he relied deserted him and he lost his head
The result it is believed must prove fatal to
Kelly's political power. He held it only
through his control over the enormous reven
ues of the city, and shorn of that magic wand
he must sink to his former level of common
ward hummer.
What probably proved the turning point in
kelly's fortunes as much as anything else
was the fact that in his arrogance last summer
he made bold, abusive and unjustitiiable
personal attack on Bennett, of the New York
Heruld. Bennett was land still is) in Europe
but when he heard of the attack he gave or
ders that all the batteries of the Herald should
be turned upon John Kelly, and that he was
to be followed relentlessly until he was de-
stroyed The order, 1t Is needless to say, was
rIgdly obeyed For the last three months
hardly day passed without a page OF the
Herad beng devoted to John Kelly, and Mr.
James Gordon Bennett, jr., now has the salts

his "maneuvre." Poor John!

opera glasses, and other novelties.

The line Of solid goods is more than usually
elegant, including all this class OF goods: hne
card cases, tea, sugar, berry ana coHee-spoons'
rings, and host Of other pretty things, in the
most elegant cases.
The line of hollow-ware is a large stock in
itself, containing handsome goods for table or
