Required to Sign the Pledge.

man with bias cut to his mug and
wearing Connemara whiskers, named Thomas
Nee, was before the court yesterday afternoon
on the charge of disorderly conduct.
The complaint was preferred by a raw look
ing fellow named Thomas Joyce, and the
flashes of cross railery set the court in roar.
The parties reside in the. same house on Com
mercia street, and Joyce testified that defend
ant was wont to get drunk and that when on
his tantrllms hc was liable to- burn the house
down. The defendant kept up a continual
clattcr and OH taking the stand he turned the
tables so badly that complainant almost col
apsed.
He said he was continually taunted by conf
plainant, who charged him with being a pau
per and not having paid his fare over to Amer
lea. AS to the charge of drinking, he said:
''Your worship, drink but glass of beer to
warm me heart. It's himselfs been drunk
an smuggIed whisky six times in the last
month, after takin' the pledge; God willin',
I'll take the pledge for twelve menths to-
morrow. It's himself that's after raisin' me
poor old father out of the grave at me-" The
court gave him lecture and let him off on
condition that he would take the pledge in
stanter. "God bless you, yer Worship" he
replied; '.its the first time I've been before yer
worship in Inc life, and faith it'll be the
last Making a courtesy that would have
done credit to a courtier, hc skipped.

school, and Mrs. E. Alcott us teacher in the
first grade of the Jefferson school, vice Mrs.

Adopted.
The report of Superintendent Wright was
read showing the enrolment of pupils for De-
cember to have been 1882, an increase of 454
as compared with the year 1879. The report
stated that the jackson school would be ready
for occupancy Monday, January 10TH Super
intcndcnt Wright recommended that it be
formally dedicated on Monday January 10, at
10 A. NJ. With regard to fixing the new
bounderies Superintendent Wright recommend

Third wards residing in the district bounde d
by Gautier street extended to Jay street; Jay

mended for each of the schools.
Prof. Wright.thcn alluded in high terms TO

and scholarship.

spcct and accept the building.

IRISH TROUBLES.

short hand reporters notes of speeches of
Parnel and other leading traversers The
court granted the requ est of McDonough,
counsel for the traversers, in that copies of the
extracts be supplied him. The court further
requested Mr.. Law to supply whatever defense
was required and said the crown should
render the defense every possible facility. Nc

livcrcd by two of the trayersers since infOr-
nation was laid, should not be read. The

LONDON. Dec 3l.-A Times editorial says:
"a new Irish land bill has, we believe, been
found with a view to supplanting or replacing
certain defects which experience has shown to
exist in the land act of 1870, and not with the
view of introducing new principles reversing
it. The bill is little likely to satisfy those
friends of Ireland who are engaged in mid
night drilling of deluded peasants. The pro-
posed movements of flying columns will exer-
else more persuasion with the malcontents,
who may be Fenians under new names, than
any legislative measure"
DUBLIN, Dec 31.-Thc land league meetings
which were TO be held at Claudatkin county,
Dublin, Decegheda county, Louth county and
Kantuck county, on Sunday, have been pro-

the government has resolved to prohibit all
land league meetings on Sunday.
LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Times says the year
1850 has been one of solid business in most di-
rections, and of foolish spcculatiOns in very
few The beginning of speculative period
has been reached, and it may be years before
we reach its height From all appearances
both France and the United States are far
ahead of us i'm this direction. On them prin-
cipally the duration Of the time of quiet bust
ness activity would seem to depend. The pro
digious absortion of capital in public works
now going on in France may alone lead to
temporary unpleasant results to SPECTATORS,
but the new year will be begun hopefully, and
such is the temper of the stock markets hat
a still higher range of prices need surprise no.

Ramsey's Term us Secretary of the Navy
Having Expired, the Office il Vacant
and the Department without "a Head.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.--On December 20,
President Hayes designated Secretary Ramsey
to perform the duties of acting secretary OF
The navy in addition to those of secretary of
war. The appointment was made under
authority vested in the President intended to
enable him to fill u vacancy in the cabinet
occasioned by death or other cause by
assigning another cabinet officer to
perform the, duties for a period not
longer than ten days. Secretary Ramsey's
appointment, by its terms, expired yesterday,
and as no other appointment has been made,
the navy department is at present without a
head and vacancy exists in the cabinet.
Some days since the announcement was au-
thorizcd that President Hayes would rcappOint
Secretary Ramsey every ten days until the 4th
of March, or the advent of the new admins
tration. Yesterday, however, the question
was raised whether the President could legally
make a second appointment for ten days, and
upon being referred to the attorney general, it
was decided adversely. The subject provoked
lengthy discussion in the cabinet meeting
to-day, and after critical eXamina-
ton of the law on the subject, the
conclusion was reached that the intent OF the
statute was simply to relieve the President
from an immediate embarrassment OccasiOned
by sudden vacancy in the cabinet, and that
authority to appoint or assign another mem
Der of the cabinet to perform additional duties
for ten days did not extend beyond one appoint
ment, its object being simply to tide over an
interim until regular appointment could be
made to fill the vacancy. Under this decision
of the cabinet the reassgnmcnt of Secretary
Ramsey from December 80 becomes invalid,
and the navy department is left
i'll an anomalous condition, with
no secretary, and no one authorized or empOw-
cred to act as such. 1t will dcvOlvc on Presi-
dent Hayes to Immediately appoint some one
to fill the vacancy occasioned by Secretary
ThompsOn's resignation until March 4. 1t was
suggested this evening that the President might
consult the wishes of Gen. Garfield and ap-
point for the unexpired term the probable sec
retary under the coming administration.
A final conference was held at the interior
department this afternoon with the Indian
delegations, relative to obtaining the right of
way through the Sioux reservation for the
Chicago & Northwestern, and Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroads, and signed an
agreement granting the right of way. Under
its terms the Sioux nation will receive s. per
acre for every acre of land taken by the rail
roads.
