Saying nothing of minor points, the iul-
portant outcome Of the Irish national conven.
ton at Dublin, which adjourned last Sat-
urday, is distinct declaration of the land
league against accepting the land bill and in
favor Of continuing the agitation until a final
separation between England and Ireland shall
be accomplished. Considering the number Of
prominent lrishmen that took part in the
meeting and the large attendance Of Roman
Catholic priests the attitude thus taken has
created an immense sensation all over Eng.
land The general tone of the London press
is, that in the land bill all has been done that
will be in the shape of efforts to plscate the
Irish, and that hereafter stern measures will
be resorted to. Meantime Ireland continues
very unsettled. The system of intimidation
continues in force. and serious outrages on
property are continually reported There is II
very bitter feeling between the people and pc.
lice. One of the latter was set u BON and muir.
dered by a mob IN Dublin, Thursday night,
when assisting IN the arrest of drunkard.
The Methodist ecumenical council IN Lon
don adjourned on Tuesday. The meeting up
or the whole is said to have been a pleasant
and profitable" one, and 1t was resolved to
hold another in America in SIX years The
good brethren from this side realized. how
ever, and painfully no doubt, that Methodism
IN England and on the continent is very diff
ferent article from what II Is in this country.
The greatest friction occurred on the temper
ance question. In their hospitality the Eng.
lish hosts invariably arranged for various re-
freshments for the delegates in a side chapel.
This was horrible scandal to the straight
laced members from the United States, who
we're also shocked at finding wine on tables
wherever they were invited to dinner. The
result of the council very likely was that the
eastern and western sections parted at its close
with poor opinions Of each other. The
Yankees know too much 10 suit the English,
while the English know too little to suit the
Yankees. The English press say the Amer
lean white delegates were very uncivil to the
c,lored representatives to whom the English
ware, II anything, mere ELUSIVE in their at
,entions than to the whites.

THE INDIANS.

There is no news this week in regard to the
Indian disturbances in Arizona to indicate
that the war Is likely to assume any such di.
mansions as the earlier excited dispatches
would have us anticipate. A sufficient force
Of the regular army has been hurried into the
territory to cope with thousands of hostiles,
yet the fighting bucks are nowhere to be
found. Gen. Carr, the dispatches say, left
Fort Apache on the 18th for the battle ground
at Cibicu, expecting to meet hostiles almost
anywhere on the way. He found no trails,
however, that were less than week old.
When the command reached the ranch of a
noted hostile Indian named Sanchez, the Yu.
mas, that accompanied the regular troops and

will" into the few acres of corn poor Sanchez
had planted, and devouung 1t to the las, husk.

ass The command has thus far encountered
no incidents more exciting.
While Carr Is thus advancing from the
east, Col. Sanford is advancing with another
force from the southwest, and Col. Price
from the south, so that the only chance for
the Indians seems to be to fight q vastly su.
perior force or escape TO the bleak and barren
north.
Blu, there is very strong reason to believe
that the Indians have no serious idea Of fight

keep out Of the reach Of white vengeance.

One OF the first duties of President Arthu

having been neglected previous to Its adjourn
ment in spring. The duty is now imperative

danger of lapsing into anarhcy, the most cal
amitous condition conceivable into which i,
could fall.
The president of the senate, however, when
elected, does not become vice president That
Office is now vacant, and will remain so until
the regular election in 1885. When the vice
president succeeds to the presidential office he
is no longer vice president but becomes presl-
dent, and holds the office to the end of the
term but when the president of the senate or
speaker OF the house succeeds to the office, he
becomes acting presinent only, and holds the
office until new president and vice president
can be chosen at a special election which
would then De Immediately called.
The office of President Of the Senate is
therefore, even now that Arthur has become
president, of vastly less importance than ii at
Of vice president. At most he could be acting
president only for short time. There seems
therefore little occasion for that large amount
of borrowed trouble on the part of certain re-.
publican organs growing out of the fact that
as the senate now stands the democrats are In
the majority and the president pro tem they
elect will therefore most probably be demo
crat thus rendering it possible that even before
the present republican presidential term Is end
ed we may have democratic president; and to
avoid such calamltous possibility ithas even
been proposed that the present democratic
majority in the senate shall elect republican
president pro TEN. 1t is needless to say the
democrats IN the senate will be guilty of no
such folly. As an able republican paper well
puts 1t, The Democrats would earn no rep
u,a,,on for magnanlmiy by such an act,
nor have the republicans in the senate been
behaving in a way which entities them to any
such display of magnanlmlty The bargain
with Mr. Malone, by which they secured a
temporary control of that body, showed how
ready they were to take hold of every advan-
tage which offered itself, and not even to stand
upon terms of public honor and honesty"
There Is no call for any such magnanimity on
the part ofthe democrats. The president pro tem

Christmas falls this year upon Sunday,
for the first time since 1870 There is Il Pc
culiar appropriateness in this, because the
day should be regarded more us religious
than as a secular festival. Therefore, while
we wish our readers Merry Christmas, we
advise them to defer the feastipg, the fun and
the frolic until Monday. They will be none
the worse and may be all the better by it. A
curious old song preserved in the British Mu-
scum, declares that when Christmas day falls
upon Sunday the winter will be pleasant
but marked by high winds; there will be
peace and plenty in all lands; rogues shall be
Immediately found out, and child born upon
that day will become great lord. 1t was
considered peculiarly unlucky for Christmas
to fall on a Saturday. In that event, the old
song says, the winter shall be dreadful; great
tempests shall STAY man and beast; the crops
shall fail; many old folks die, and general
distress and trouble pervade all lands.
