The Coercion bill, which has now
passed both houses of the British Par
lament and received the royal assent,
consists of three clauses. The first gives
the Lord Lieutenant the power to arbitra-
rily arrest in any part of Ireland any per-
son reasonably suspected of having been
guilty, .'either before or after the pas
sage of this act" either rs principal or
accessory, of treason OF reasonable prac-
tees and the act defines reasonable
practices in such a manner as to include
any act, or the inviting to any act, which
would tend to Il disturbance of order. The
Lord Lieutenant's warrants are evidence
of the matters they contain. and no court
or process of law can deliver the persons
arrested under them out of prison with
out his consent They may be legally
retained in prison during the continuance
of the act The second clause prescribes
the manner of drawing up the warrants.
The third declares that the act shall
continue in force until Dee. so. 1882.

IournalIstIc cabinet Making.

The combination of Blaine as Secre-
tary of State and Conkling as Secretary
of the Treasury, which is now going the
round of the press. appears at first sight,
says the New York Post, as an unusually
fantastic exploit of journalistic Cabinet
making. Perhaps President Arthur has
never thought of it. But there is reason
to believe that it is seriously thought Of
in some "stalwart" circles. The pro-
gramme is said to be this: Mr.. Conk-
ling desires to be Secretary of the Treas
ury and thus to control the most impor-
tant department of the government. To
put President Garfeld's bitterest enemy
in so high position of power while the
tears shed about President Garfield s
death have scarcely been dried, would
shock the popular heart too severely.
Some pretext must be found. That
pretext is general reconciliation, ex-
emplifed by Blaine and COnkling sitting
at the same council board. The tableau
might be striking enough to make the
people forget the shock of Conkling's
appointment. But it would not last
long. Even if Blaine consented to stay
in Office the presence of Conkling in the
Cabinet and his overbearing spirit,
sustained and encouraged by his init
mate friendship with President Arthur,
would soon make Blaine's position abb
solutely intolerable. The tableau, having
served its end, would then dissolve, and
Conkling would remain in the Cabinet
virtually alone. There may be madness
in the proposition, but it is not altogether
without method.

CONDITION OF SENATOR HILL. - a
Philadelphia special to the Baltimore
Sun Of Saturday says: 'eThe reports that
Senator Ben. Hill. of Georgia, who is
now under treatment at the Jefferson
Hospital, was in a dangerous condition
and had lost nearly quarter of an inch
OF his tongue, which affected his speech,
have caused great anxiety TO his friends.
A reporter who called upon the Senator
this afternoon found that he was in ex
cellent health, or, as he expressed it, hac
never been better in his life. He is busy
making preparations to leave for Wash
ington next week, not only to take par
in the organization of the Senate, but
also 10 push matters incident thereto.
He converses with comparative ease,
although the wound is not healed, and
his physicians assure him that it will in
no wise interfere with his speech when
fully cured. The report that he has lost
large portion of his tongue is entirely
without foundation"

Richmond and Yorktown.

The celebration of the Yorktown Cen
tennial will be fttingly closed with a
grand demonstration at Richmond. The
City Council has appropriated $4,000,
and to this will be added by private sub
scription a sum sufficiently large to in
sure the success of this supplementary
celebration. Yorktown and Richmond
are indissolubly linked together in his.
tory, and the strangers who visit the
spot made famous by the events Of a
hundred years ago will not care to re.
turn to their homes until they have seen
a city which IN later times became a
point Of surprising interest TO the peo-
pie Of the whole civilized world. On
October 10th the Virginia militia
will receive the New York Thirteenth
Regiment and other visiting military or
CARNATIONS, and there will be grand re.
view in the Capitol square. Marching,
drilling, banqueting and speech-msking
will fill up the remainder of the day.
There will be no further ceremonies IN
til the 22d, when a national salute will
be fired and historical address delivered
by Rev. DR.. Curry in Capitol square.
On Sunday the Governor Of Virginia,
the visiting Governors and other distin-
guished guests will attend divine service
in St. Johns Church, and the three sue
ceeding days will be devoted to military
parades and drills, grand civic and mill
tsry professions, moving tableaux repre-
senting historical events, musical con-
certs, and other entertainments for the
benefit of the visiting multitude.

The Star Ronte Prosecutions

Proceedings in the star route cases
were begun on Friday by the exhibition
of an information against General Brady
and several others for conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. The information
is based on the operations connected with
the route between Prescott, Arizona, and
Santa Fe, New Mexico. The contract
as originally awarded was for $13, 313 q
year; but the compensation was increased
and the service expedited" until the
government was defrauded of $3.50, 000
between July 1, 1878, and June 80, 1880.
1t is said that the government have pro-
ceeded by information instead of indict-
ment, because the grand jury having adj
journed until October Sd, after that date
the three years statute of limitations
would have barred the prosecutions.
However this may be there seems to be
no doubt that the persons implicated do
not relish the summary manner in which
they have been brought into court. They
have lately boosted very openly and de-
family that proceedings before the grand
jury would come to nothing, and the
determination of the administration
to follow them up closely has
taken them by surprise. The re-
tainer of Messrs. Bliss and Brewster on
behalf of the government looks TO them,
as it does to other people, strangely like
business. 1t is said that Dorsey is to
be arrested next, though his friends still
insist that he has too much political
strength to make such thing possible.

A Competitor of the Richmond and
Danville System.

The faith Of European capitalists in the
splendid future of the South finds signal
expression in the enormous investments
they are now making in various industrial
enterprises there, and among them all there
is perhaps none more striking than that of
the Erlanger syndicate. Only last June
were operations begun. Count Changer,
of Paris, with several other gentlemen Of
Frankfort and London, at that time devoted
$25, 900, 600 In cash to the formation of a
system Of railroads 1851 miles in length
which should connect the terminus Of
the Texas Pacific at Shreveport, Louisi-
ana, with the Atlantic at Brunswick,
Georgia, and at the same time embrace
north and south line extending from
Cincinnati, by way Of Chattanooga and Me-
ridian, to New Orleans Such progress has
been made that within thirteen months, by
the terms Of rigid contracts, the whole will
have been completed, and line In addition
built from Memphis IN q southeastwardly
direction to Eutaw, Ala, which will give that
city her shortest route to the sea. The Gin
einnau Southern, extending to Chattanooga,
was but recently leased for long term Of
years. The next link, reaching to Meridian,
Mis-, is also a completed road, and is owned
by the syndicate. The syndicate owns also q
completed road extending from Meridian to
Vicksburg, and is building another from q
point on the opposite side of the river to
connect with the Texas Pacific at Shreve-
port. The other line, from Meridian to New
Orleans, is being pushed rapidly to compile
ton. The port on the Atlantic at Bruins
wick-the only one in the Southeast not
controlled by the Louisville and Nashville
is to be connected with Eutaw, Alabama,
as stated above, and this will involve
the building Of only 1853 miles Of road, as
the syndicate alreay owns completed
roads from Eutaw to Selma and from Bruins
wick to Albany. To connect Selma with
Albany is, therefore, to give Memphis a sea-
port on the Atlantic and open competition
with the Louisville and Nashville and other
great systems for the export trade of vast
area Of rich cotton county. The completed
Erlanger system will also be in competition
with the Richmond and Danville roads for
the trade and travel Of Baltimoreans in Ten
nessee, Alabama and Mississippi, and may
thus exercise wholesome regulative influ-
ence over the schedules Of the latter sys-
tenn.
