the last amendment of the House of
Lords to the land bill, striking out the
provision for staying proceedings for
debt, Gladstone, adVerting to the re-
marks made early in the evening that q
farce was being played, asserted that OPP
position leaders were not aware when the
sitting Of the House commenced. OF
course the government intended to take

Psrnell, who said he thought the con.
duct Of government all through con-
temptible, characterized Glsdstene's

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.


New York. 16.-The Times: The or
der has gone forth from Daniel Manning,
the new leader Of the Tilden democracy
Of New York, that q democratic state
convention to nominate state ticket this
fall, shall be held either at Albany or
Saratoga. The work for the convention
| is already laid out. The slate Of nom
nations is made up. The general prin-
oiple to be observed in Tilden's new cam
paign is one Of compromise. The snti-Til-
den men are to be conciliated and if need
be bribed by good places on the demo-
cratic ticket. The wisdom of beginning
early with this programme IS evident
this year. Only g portion Of the state
officers will be chosen. Tilden, with ab-
solute control of the state committee, and
with every probability of his being able
to control the state convention will Law
this year the foundations of q scheme
which will next year result in his nomi-
nation for governor, and will finally be
crowned in 1884 by mis- nomination for
President.
The Tribune says Of the proposed union
OF the democracy. 1t is proposed tina.
TaDmany and Irving Halls shall
unitedly take the first step. The various
democratic organizations, big and little,
shall send delegations to confer with the
state committee, as to the proper recogni-
ton of each In the coming convention.
Every faction and everything like q per-
sonsl organization, from that of 0s-
waid OttendOrffer or Andrew a.
Greenup, 10 Tanmany Hall will send
delegates 10 represent and advocate its /
claims to voice in the convention and a
share IN the local patronage. The state
comtniItse is to decide upon these claims,
and allot to each representative in such
proportion as may seem best adapted to
produce harmony and unite democratic
voters. This scheme has been seriously
considered by prominent men in Tam
many Hall.

Then the young men, rs we'll as the old men

founded, had only strong and wise chiefs like

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 5.-A
Lawrenceburg special to the Courier
journal on the 10Th Of July last stated
that Arthur Ingram, a poor old man,
about fifty-three years of age, who
leaves wife and FIVE or six children,
was foully murdered by W. T. Grant
near his home in this county. Grant
who is in Jail, makes the following
cool confession; On the 10th of July
he and one Travis went to Van Buren,
Anderson county, aud there met old
man Ingram. They went and took a
drink. They went from there to Cal
vert's store, not very far away. There
Grant bought a quart of whisky.
Grant, Travis and Ingram drank free.
ly of it, when old man Ingram became
drunk and boisterous. Grant and
Travis took the old mans sack that
contained some meal or -four he had
bought and each took hold of
him to assist him home when they
had gotten near Ingram's house,
they called for some one to come and
get him and his sack. When his daugh-
ter came out Grant got over the fence
and asked the old man to get over,
When he refused to go, Ingram
reached over two or three times
and took hold of Grant, using
some harsh words to MIN, when Grant
picked up a rock and knocked him
away from him. He then secured a
FIVE pound rock and struck the old
man severe blow, knocking him fif-
teen feet. Ingram's daughter was
standing there all the time crying and
screaming, to let her father alone,
The last blow did the work of killing
him, when Grant sat him against a
tree and left.
