The general impression among the Sena-
tors now at Washington is that the extra
session will last but short time, and they
are making arrangements for temporary
lodgings at hotels, deferring preparations
for permanent board or housekeeping until
the commencement of the regular session.

IT is too late now for this State to cut a
fine figure at the Yorktown centennial, but
Governor Plaisted has given PRESS report
er his idea of what should have been done
and an account of his views will be found
in our local columns. These views would
have been more timely had they been Sub
mitted to the Legislature last winter. As it
is they will furnish food forthought to those
of his supporters who are still grumbling at
the expenditure for Names representa-
ton at the centennial Exhibition in 1876.

A Few days ago two beautiful books ar
rived at Mentor, Ohio, with an inscription
in each saying that they were for ''the Pres
ident of the United States, with the kind re-
CARDS and sympathy of the authoress, Jean
Ingelow." A note from the publishers
stated that month ago Jean Ingelow had
written them to prepare two volumes of her
selected works as best they knew how, and
send them to President Garfield. The COM
mand could not be carried out until the
President died.

REFERRING to the Guiteau case, the

asylums."

AMONG the coming candidates for the
United States Sena te from Oregon is George
Fl. Williams, formerly Attorney General Of
the United States. His candidacy has called
out the following reminiscence from prom
inent Oregon politician. "When Mr.. Will
lianls was nominated for Chief Justice by
Grant, Charles Sumner was riding up in the
car with me to the capitol He said,
what do the people of Oregon think of the
nomination of Senator Williams@ They
are all in favor of it, said I, Except few
malignants who never believe in any thing
around them. Judge Williams is unques-
tionably the first lawyer in Oregon. 1t
never was matter of discussion with us,
being every where conceded Mr.. Sumner
said, He is good lawyer; in my judgment
he is the best lawyer in the United States
Senate At this time the Senate had in it
Edmunds, Carpenter and Conkling."

THE grief of Irishmen at the death of
President Garfield was as profound as the
expression of it was striking. Mourning
was general all over Ireland, and the jour-
nails of the country were quick to give voice
to regret The Cork Advertiser, one of the
most influential papers in that part of the
island, draped its columns, and printed a
eulogy on our late President admirable in
tone and sympathetic in spirit.

More Land Bills.

The Duke of Argyle, one of the largest
landed proprietors in Scotland, was severe
ly taken to task by English Liberal papers
for opposing the Irish land-bill, so generally
favored by the political party to which he
belongs. 1t seems that his grace was
fighting for his own hand. The success of
the Irish agitation has encouraged the
Scotch tenantry, and they demand similar
measure of reform in land tenure. A bill
has been drawn up by the Scottish Cham
Der of Agriculture which will be submitted
to Parliament when it re-assembles.
1t insists upon fair rent, free
sale and fixity of tenure-in brief upon the
abolition of federal tenure in land. That it
will become law cannot be doubted. The
British Parliament will find itself unable to
refuse Scotland the favor it granted to Ire
land. The Scotch tenants have not suffered
80 much as the Irish tenants, to be sure, and
are not laboring under so great distress
chiefly because there is kindlier feeling
between landlord and tenant, because they
are of the same race and religion, and be-
cause the landlord usually resides on his es-
tate. 1t is difficult, for example, to imagine
Argyle driving Campbell from his farm.
Buthe has the right and the power to do so,
and landlord less closely connected with the
people who till his land might exercise the
right Until that privilege is surrendered the
Scotch tenant will be discontented. He
will seek to be in at least as fair state, theo-
retically as well as practically, as the men
on the Western side of the Irish channel
If land-reform be granted to the Scotch
man it canuot long be withheld from the
Englishman. An entire revolution of land
tenure in the British Islands is imminent
The land bill which Parliament passed by SO
great a majority is but the first step toward
total abolition of feudal tenure.

touching the fortunate medium between the

songs for the children, old-fashioned ballads

for the younger singers. The long evenings of

sy charm to this book of songs, perfectly fitted
for the pleasure of the home circle.

Rescued from Death.

The following statement from William j
Coughlin, Sommerville, Mass, is SO remark
able that we beg to ask for it the attention of
our readers. He says: "In the fall of 1876 I
was taken with a violent bleeding of the lungs
followed by severe cough. l soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. was so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed III
the summer of 1877 was admitted to the city
hospital. While there the doctors said had
hole in my left lung as big as half dollar
expended over hundred dollars in doctors
and medicines. was so far gone at one
time report went around that / was
dead. I gave up hope, but friend
told me of Dr.. William Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. 1 laughed at my
friends, thinking that my case was incurabIe,
but got bottle to satisfy them, when, to my
surprise and qualification, commenced TO feel
better. My hope, once dead, began to revive,
and to-day feel in better spirit than 1 have
the past three years.
/ write this hoping you will publish it, so
that every one afflicted with Diseased Lungs
will be induced to take DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam
for the Lungs, and be convinced that con-
sumption can be cured. l have taken two
bottles, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all the other medicines
I have taken since my sickness. My cough
has almost entirely disappeared, and I shall
soon be able to go to work. Sold by all

cy of Peter; to his ignoring my demand
for proof that Peter was ever bishop OF
Rome; indeed, to his complete breakdown
in establishing the foundations OF
the Roman church But will supply
the omission referred to by my friend.
The passage from Bellemine was quoted
correctly, and the bishop knows it. He
has adduced no proof to the contrary,
nor has he attempted any. His comment
on the passage was for the most part
satisfactory to me, for it confirmed my
proposition. overlooked the somewhat
gross and altogether incorrect character
ization of my method. Against my quo
tation with book and page, Bishop Ire
land interposed his personal negative,
without shadow of proof, or even at
tempt to prove his indictment. When
Bishop Ireland imagines shall pursue
each one of his wild and reckless asser-
lions, there is no longer material for a
psychological study but revelation OF
impenetrable stupidity.

Conkling, thanking him very kindly, but

This circumstance reminded DIR. Wat

to him about 1t two or three times, and
finally declared outright that he should
not call the doctor again until the bill for
his past services had been presented and
paid. The doctor was forced, therefore,
to send in his bill.

AT ALBANY.

The election OF successors to CoNKLING
and PLATT seems to be quite hopeless
from the present outlook, and the most
interesting question that is lett relates
to the power Of the Democrats and Stall
warts united to adjourn. The Demo.
Gratis and Stalwarts must necessarily
now be arrayed against the Half Breeds;
and as the Stalwarts dare not vote for a
Democrat, it follows that the question
now to be decided relates wholly to adj
journment before an election, and the
practical reference OF the entire matter
to the people. There is, however, this
disadvantage that the Democrats are
uuder-ii the people should elect Dem
ocratic Legislature In November Cover
nor CoaSKLL-himself a Senatorial aspir-
ant-would doubtless call the present
legislature together, so that two Repub-
licans might be chosen. The two ex-
Senators hope in such contingency, it
is said, to rally to themselves fright
ened party.
But CoSKLING out OF the Senate does
not mean CoNKLING out OF politics. He
reiterates his determination to fight
BLAINE and the hali-breeds in any event
lie will endeayor to defeat their scheme
TO capture the next lot OF presidential
delegates from New York, and failing in
that he will doubtless take good care that
the triumph Of his enemies shall be
brief aud valueless. As a Democratic
assistant the late boss may, therefore,
be as useful out OF the Senate as he
could be in il.
