RECENT arrests under the Coercion
act in ireland are Fenlon, Vice.President,
and O'Donnel, Secretary of the Land League
1T Cahir, and a priest named Sheehey at
Killmartin, County Limerick. In the House
OF Commons attention was called to the ar
rest Of Father Sheehey, and several Home
Rulers bitterly denounced the act. Mr..
Gladstone declared the Government bad not
arrested any one, priest or layman, for being
member of the Land League. They had
only arrested perpetrators or abettors Of out
RACES. II any member, he said, proposed
that discussion of arrests In ireland be taken
up, the Government would not object. It is
said the arrest of Father Sheehey and others
at Killmartin was upon the charge OF at
tempting by threats to incite persons to quit
their employment.
A DISPATCH from Albany, N. Y, says
the election for Senators will not take place

lingites are strongly in favor OF going into an
election as soon as possible, and say that
Conkling will not be candidate. The DEM
ocrats are opposed to an election, claiming
that the question should be left to the peo-
pie. Al dispatch OF the Goth says the anti
Conkling men feel somewhat disheartened
by the Presidents latest appointments in
that State, a majority of whom are reckoned
amongst Mr.. Conkliug's most devoted adj
herents. The Conkling men feel corre-
spondingly elated. There are rumors of q
compromise, by which each faction shall get
one Senator.
