Gen. Malone.

Less than two years agoin aspeech
delivered in Ohio the President, then
General Garfield, said:
81 would clasp the hands of those
who fought against US, only on one
supreme condition, that it be admit
ted in practice, acknowledged in
theory, that the cause for which they
fought was, and forever will be, the
cause of treason and wrong. Until
then my hand shall never grasp any
rebels hand across any chasm, how.
ever small"
Having not only grasped the hand
of General Malone, but sent him
bouquets, told him he would stand
by him, urged the Senate tocontinue
their support of him, and nominate
and appoint his friends to Office, the
conclusion is legitimate that the
General has complied with the "su.
preme" condition, acknowledged
himself a traitor and malefactor; and
there are many people, once his
friends, who have been induced tc
believe that he is both by the course
which he has pursued since his ad
vent to the Senate.

The Irisl, Troubles.

Capt. Boycott, who has gained
considerable notoriety from his con-
nection with the Irish land troubles,
does not seem to take much stock in
the new bill which has been report.
ed as satisfactory to the Irish. He
does not think there is any hepo of a
peaceful solution of the difficulties
in Ireland for some time to come.
He thinks the land laws ought to be
revised, but that the trouble in Ire
land is the insane desire to farm at
all hazards. According to his state
ment the demand for land is greater
than the supply, and that were land
ever so free in Ireland, the Irish peo-
pie could not get their support from
it.
The Gladstone bill, however, is re-
ceiyed, we think, with very general
satisfaction among the Irish leaders,
and meets most of their demands.
The main features of the bill are:
/. A fair rent, to be fixed by the
land court of the county.
2. Compensation for improvements
by tenants is guaranteed.
8. Only tenants paying as high as
$3.50 rent can contract themselves
out of the provisions of the bill.
This is important and will prevent
landlords compelling tenants to &C.
cept leases waving the benefits of
the law.
4. Fixity Of land tenure is estab-
lished for the period of fifteen years,
during which there can be no evic.
ton or compulsory increase Of rent,
so long as the tenant fulflls certain
statutory conditions regarding pay.
ment Of rent, guarantees against
Naste, right of inspection, etc.
5. Fee sale; that is the right Of the
tenant to sell his improvements is
guaranteed under certain restrictions.

The Glenn NeNspapers.

There is growing feeling in every
healthy community against the
journals who make it their special
object to minister to perverted taste
by seeking out and serving up in a
seductive form disgusting scandals
and licentious revelation. There is
good reason to believe that the clean
newspaperis more highly priced To-
day than il wds fonr or five years ago.
IL is also safe to predict that, as peo-
Pile in all ranks Of life, who wish to
protect their own at least from con-
taminalion, becomes more conscious
Of the pernicious influence of a GER
tain class Of journals, they permit to
be read in the family circle are the
class that never forget in the propri-
cites of life. Already men and wo-
men Of refinement and healthy NOR
ais haye'had their attention called to
the pernicious influence of bad liter
ature, and have made eommendable
efiofs to counterfeit the same by'caus-
ing the sound literature to be pub

it has a place in the family, and has
