Additional Precautions in Ireland.
The Pail Mall Gazette believes 1t to be SUBJ
stantially true that the government has divided
the disturbed localities of Ireland into 3 or G
districts, each of which is to be under a supe-
rior sort of magistrate who will be able to act
without previous superior sanction, and have
entire control of the troops and police with o
view to prompt action in the event of disturb
ance. The Gazette adds: Possibly this is a
preliminary step towards the enforcement Of
payment of rent.

Boothbay schooner and took her in tow, re-

What Vanderbilt and Gould Say-The
Money Market, sc.

What Vanderbilt and Gould Say-The
Money Market, &c.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Wall street reports
state that Vanderbilt is reported as saying that
he expected the stocks of his roads to decline on
the statements published, but they were cheap
enough to buy. "One of these days." he said,
"the railroad war will be settled SO quick that
some of the smart fellows down in t1e street
will get badly left" Mr.. Gould is reported to
have advised an acquaintance on Saturday not
to buy Wabash for about week. 1t is re.
ported on good authority that the Gould party
has been buying stock for several days, and ad-
vises its following to buy whenever stocks are
down this week.
1t is reported that Lackawanna will declare
on Friday the regular dividend of 34 per
cent. and an extra dividend of 2 per cent
1t is reported that large amount of stock
sold for foreign account will arrive in this mar
ket this week and will lessen the borrowing
demand to some extent. Foreign selling is
counted upon as a bear argument for the
week 1t is reported that an attempt will be
made to make money stringent, but
the principal lenders anticipate easy money
for six weeks or more to come. Prominent
bears think that the market will rally four or
five per cent after which steady decline will
set in. Large time loans on sterling were made
on Saturday.
Alton and Terre Haute will, it is understood,
declare a seven per cent. dividend on the pre-
ferred stock January 14th and something on
the dividend bonds.

THE SUPREME COURT.
The American Bar Association's Plan OF
Relief.

The American Bar Associations Plan OF
Relief.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-It is pretty we'll set
tied that the committee of the American Bar
Association will at its meeting in New York
in February adopt plan for the relief OF the
United States Supreme Court which contem-
plates the establishment of another court to
consist of fifteen judges. A member OF the
committee is authority for the statement that
this action will be taken in Difference to the
wishes of the Supreme Court rather than for
any other reason. He says the judges OF TINS
court are unalterably opposed to another plan
which looks to the subdivision OF the present
bench into separate chambers, each with lurls-
diction over certain classes OF cases. Ihe
Judges think in the first PLACE the plan Will not
give the relief sought and that it would not en-
able the court even though it trebled its capac-
ity for work to hear cases coming up as prompt.
~ as they should be heard, to say nothing OF
relieving the docket of cases that have accum-
ulated. In the second place the Snpreme
Judges think it would lower the dignity, stand
ing and influence of the court to divide 1t up
for the sake of getting more work out OF it. Ii
is probable this consideration weighs more
with the court than any other. The Judges
are not willing to sacrifice any OF the dignity
belonging to the court. They probably will
recommend TO Congress. the passage OH ioHai
