LONDON, January Is. Twenty Irish mem
bers Of Parliament will follow Shaw's course
in separating themselves from the Irish
agitation, and from the Parliamentary party.
The Daily News says Of the obstructive
action of the Irish members, such wrangles
are dangerous experiments upon the forbear-
ance of the Commons.
\ London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says, in the interview with the
Parliamentary deputation, Yesterday, in re-
gard to the Irish land question, Gladstone
yirtually said there was practically little
difference between himself and the deputa-
tons. The dsputation left with the convic-
ton that the bill to be introduced by govern
ment, will embody their recommendation of
principles of security or fixity of tenure in
connection with periodical reduction of rents.
DuBLIN, January Is. In the conrt of the
Queens bench, TODAY, McDonough opened
for the defence. and made a touching refer
ence to the fact that he was almost the sole
survivor Of counsel employed in the OfCon-
nell case. He denounced the prosecution rs
the landlords indictment against the tenants
of Ireland. The court room was crowded.

Orr SAVINGS BANKS.


People OF small means who have their saw
ings invested in the banks Of this State, will
be deeply interested in the report of Bank
Examiner Hon. Fred +. Richards. There are
at present 50 savings banks in active opera
ton in the State. The past year has been
one of great prosperity, and the property in
which their surplus is invested is constant
IL approaching in value. A fact that speaks
volumes for the prosperity Of Maine is that
during the year of 1873. the deposits of the
savings banks decreased SO, 725,320. In
1879. the decrease was $3.50, 1868. The pres
ent year there has been net increase of
sl,96s, ls3-as appears by the abstract from
the report of treasurers, mad. on the first Gay
Of November, This increase would have
been much greater had not the difficulty Of
making suitable investments compelled the
banks to refuse new deposits, or restrict them
10 limited sums. The aggregate of the re-
served fund held by the banks November Sd,
1879 was S5l9, 72l.9S. November LIST, 1850,
il amounted to S607 .629.63.
Three savings banks have practically
closed their affairs during the year-the
Bueksport Ilar,land, and North Arson banks.
There are two banks whose affairs are being
settled by receivers-the Newport and Salem
savings banks.
On account of the depreciation of values
during the years of 1877 and 1878. thirteen
savings banks availed themselves of the re-
lief afforded by law, of reducing their deposit
accounts. Seven of these have already been
able to wholly or partially restore the amount
so reduced to the credit Of depositors. The
Indications are that within a short time near
y all the banks whose deposits were reduced
will be able to restore the full amount to the
credit of their depositors.
The - savings banks have made dividends
The past year as follows: of 6 per cent; 10

signing of paper to stay out of the caucus
| does not compel men to vote for him, but he
thinks they will do so. Ii is hard to tell who

democrats favor Mr.. Grow and it looks as
though some coaliation would be formed
with anti-caucus republicans. The legisla-
ture stands l53 republicans, % democrats,
9 greenbackers, greenback republican and

MAcHAs. January Is. The Longmore
murder case was given to the jury this after
noon Judge Libby in his charge instructed
the jury to what constituted murder in the
different degrees: that sympathy for the
accused should no, be manifested on account
of his youth the jury must be governed by
law and evidence; the power of fixing penal
ties or Of granting parions did not rest with
the jury. The court explained the testimony
in all the important points very clearly. The
testimony of physicians that the gun-shot
wounds would not have caused immediate
death if at all, bat the wounds on the head
we're inflicted by murderous weapons. The
course Longmore pursued in dragging the
body after the shot, but before death ensued,
was dwelt upon. The prisoner seemed in
different all through the trial and was uncon-
cerned when the verdict was reported The
jury went out at half-past three and they re-
ported al six o'clock verdict of man
slaughter. The sentence will be given to-
morrow morning.
