Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-04-09

states that Mr.. A. NJ. Sullivan, M. P, will
hold the leading brief for the defense of
Herr Most, and that he is instructed to
apply to the Court Of Queens Bench for
mandamus to compel Sir James Inghsm,
the Chief Magistrate of the Bow Street
Police Court, to admit Herr Most to ball.
The Ne,oS states that several English mem
bers of Parliament have privately expressed
the opinion that 1t is desirable to take
steps, supplementary to the land
bill, to prevent wholesale evic-
tions in Ireland. AS matter of
fact this will be done by the bill, as 1t con-
tains provision that processes OF eviction
not completed by the time the bill becomes
a law will be imperative. AS 1t practically
takes nine months to complete an eviction,
notices served in March will be void. This
provision in the bill gives peculiar satisfac-
tion to the Irish members of Parliament.
The Times this morning entirely approves
the land bill, and says cit covers the entire
area of the widely extended complication
of questions, and leaves not an inch of
ground untouched. 1t has been warmly and
hatefully received by the great body of the
Liberal party"
A bulletin issued at II O'Clock this morn
ing says: ''Lord Beaconsfeld passed good
night, and had a refreshing sleep. He has
taken his nourishment well. The symp-
toms caused by his late serious relapse are
passing away. The condition OF the patient
is more hopeful than 1t was yesterday"
A dispatch from Newcastle, Natal, says:
"The Beers are daily infringing the peace
terms-'looting' property Of the loyalists,
refusing to surrender farms and houses, and
assaulting the proprietors II they attempt
to take possession. The law is powerless.
Iu the House of Lords to-day the Duke of
Argyle said he heartily approved of every
measure which can tend to the increase of
ownership of land in Ireland. 81 think, F"
he said, "the governments scheme will
tend to paralyZe the ownership of land by
placing 1t under limitations unknown in any
civilized country. Under this scheme neither
the landlord nor the tenant will be own
ers. The ownership will be in
the commission or in abeyance. This would
result injuriOusly to the agricultural inter-
ests OF any country, especially of Ireland.
l felt that l could not as
an honest man be responsible
in recommending the scheme as a whole to
Parliament. 1 regret to have separated
from my friends, especially from Mr.. Glad
stone, with whom l have had connection of
ever increasing respect during twenty nine
years."
In the House of Commons to-day, Lord
Elcho, Liberal Conservative, gave notice
that he would oppose the land bill by an
amendment that, while the House was will
ing to consider any measure based upon
sound principle, the present bill is economi-
cally unsound, unjust and impolitic.
Right Hon. Sir Michael Edward Hicks
Beach Conservative gave notice of a mo-
tion strongly condemning the governments IS
course in reference to the TransVaal.
Mr.. Gladstone said he could not at pres
ent give the government night for discus
sion. He also said, in reply to Sir Stafford
Northcote, that he confirmed with the deep
est concern the resignation of the Duke of
Argyll, Lord Of the Privy Seal and gave as
the reason, therefore, namely, his
objection to portion of the land
bill. He said, further, in reply to
a question, that he could not defer the de-
bate on the second reading Of the land bill
beyond April 25th. o
Sir Charles Dixie said the statement that
Turkey had applied to Egypt for troops is
untrue.
Lord Spencer Churchill, Conservative,
said he abstained from personal explana-
ton relative to his recent charges because
he could not throw the shadow of doubt
upon Sir Charles Dilke's unqualified denial
yesterday, but he believed that he (Lord
Churchill) had been justified in acting as he
had done.
Sir Charles Dixie, replying to question,
said that France had given assurances that
her operations IN Algeria were only intend
ed to punish the tribes, and has assured the
Bey of Tunis that if 1t becomes necessary
for her troops to cross the frontier it would
be as his friends and allies.
In the House Of Commons to day, the
Duke of Argyll, Lord Of the Privy Seal,
expressed his deep sorrow at leaving the
Cabinet. He said he did so because of the
land bill alone. Although not opposed to
the extension of ownership of land by the
peasants, he was opposed to the bill which
would destroy the ownership Of land by
other classes.
In the House OF Commons to-day Sir Staf-
ford Northcote Conservative stated that
the leaders Of the opposition were not re-
sponsible for Lord Elcho's motion in op-
position to the land bill. The bill, he said,
involved such important financial and po-
litical questions that they did not yet know
how they would attack it.
The House of Commons adjourned to the
25th instant, and the House OF Lords until
the 5th Of May.
A report is current that Lord Carlingford
will succeed the Duke Of Argyll as Lord of
the Privy Seal.
The London correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian, referring to the land bill,
says "The general impression is that no
bill Of such Importance was ever better re-
ceiyed. The extreme Irish members will
probably take as much credit as they can
for having forced the measure on the
government, and will accept the bill,
which will probably pass its
second reading about May first by very
large majority. There is universal admirs.
ton of the skill with which the bill has
been drawn, and of the provisions whereby
the rightsof the tenant appear to be pro-
tected in every conceivable case without in
justice to the landlords. The Conserva-
tives, while not denying the magnitude of
the proposals, do not appear to be violently
averse to the provisions of the BILL"
The Post says: "Mr. Gladstone presented
the land bill In a speech of two hours and
twenty minutes duration. 1t was delivered
with unabated vigor, and was remarkable
for his well known power of lucid explana-
ton of details.p The Post makes sweeping
attack on the landlord and tenant clauses
of the bill. 1t sees no objections to the
clauses providing for advances Of money
for purchase, reclamation and emf
grafton, provided proper security Is
taken, and concludes: Tt is a
measure which will require most
careful and jealous consideration. 1t goes
far In the direction of the principles of the
Land League. 1t proposes change in the
principles of the Irish land tenure which
Mr. Gladstone ten years ago would have
condemned as revolutionary, and which,
had 1t been suggested to him, he would
have rejected as impracticable."
The Standard says: "The most powerful
argument advanced by Mr.. Gladstone In
favor of the land bill is the existence of GER
tain defects in the land act Of 1870.
These imperfections may justify the
amendment of that act, and to
very considerable portion Of the present
measure that title might be given. But the
infinitely more important parts
OF the bill do not admit of
this description, and If they
are to be vindicated at all, they must be de-
Tended on grounds which Mr.. Gladstone
did not particularize yesterday evening""
The Standard strongly condemns the
clauses for appropriating money, and says
the first stpart Of the bill, with due revision
and amendment. might be passed at the
present session, but the bill as supplement-
ed yesterday evening contains materials
which would require at least two sessions
before they could be moulded into service
able act of Parliament.
The Daily AeaOs, while deploring the resig-
nation Of the Duke of Argyll, says the bill
meets with the cordial approval Of the Lib
eral party.
