IRELAND.
SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.

DUBLIN, Oct. 25.-No Importance whatever
is attached to the so-called Fenian .revela-
tions." Their only object is thought to be to
raise disturbance for the benefit of the skir-
mishing fund in America. The Dublin Free
mans Journal denounces the Fenian 'revea-
tom that the Irish would assassinate Glad
stone or Foster, and says the statements are
monstrous, absurd, and that not his fiercest
enemy would believe that any 1rishman would
stoop to the crime of assassinating Gladstone
or Foster. The Irish Times considers the
revelations" an insane invention.
A POLICE AFFAIR.
The arrest of Miss Hobnett at Ballydeho
yesterday was merely police court affair, and
not under the coercion act. A priest near
Claremorris yesterday evaded police interfer-
ence by holding Land League meeting in his
chapel. 1t is thought this plan will be gener-
ally Iesorted to for future meetings.
MORE ARRESTS.
There were several more arrests under the
coercion act in Ireland to-day.
A CORPORATION MEETING.
DUBLIN, Oct. 25.--At a meeting of the cor
poration to-day twenty three members voted
in favor of E. Dwyer Grays motion to con.
fer the freedom of the city upon Parnell and
Dillon, and twenty three voted against it. The
motion was negatived by the casting vote of
the lord mayor. MacHone, the farmer found
murdered, was an active member of the Land
League.
DESERVING THE LEAGUE.
At a meeting convened by the Catholic cler-
gy to consider the course to be pursued in
view of the recent action of the government,
many Land Leaguers were preseut and urged
refusal of rent until Parnell was released. The
meeting, however, following the advice of the
clergy resolved to discontinue connection with
the League and pay rent.
CONFIRMAToRY.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-A correspondent of the
pressa ssociation in Dublin says: The chief
of detectives has confirmed the report that
there was plot to assassinate Forster, and
added that he knew the names of two men
told to commit the crime. The chief denied
that there was any plot against Gladstone or
Sir VIM. Parcout.

MEETING AT BROOKLYN.
New YORK, Oct. 25.-Mayor Howell pre-,
sided at an Irish Land League meeting in the
academy of music, Brooklyn, tonight. Wen
dell Phillips sent a letter saying if ireland
would listen to Parnell he would carry her
point. At the Parnell Central Land League
tonight letter from Anna Parnell, Dublin,
was read, in which she said she
had hoped that there had been a committee
appointed in this city to secure employment
for such of the royal constabulary as desired
to resign and emigrate. He thought it would
be well if such committee was appointed to
have emigrants bring with them their dis
charge and certificates from the local Land
Leagues. The committee on organization was

Proceedings of the Senate.

The oath of office was administered to act.
ing secretary, F. G. Shober.
Sherman called up the resolution authoriz-
preserve papers of Count De Rochambeau to
await action of congress on the proposition TO
sell the same to the government.
Sherman stated that tine papers were now in
the city and consisted of about 400 origina
letters and military papers from the hand of
Washington, Rochambeau and Others of which
not more than fifty had ever been published,
they contained also 500 original maps, forts,
camps, etc.
In reply to a question by Cockrell, Sher-
man stated that the cost of the papers was
$4,000.
Cockrell said he had no objection to the
resolution, provided no objection, moral, legal
or equitable, should thereby rest upon the
senate to purchase the papers.
VOORHEES, said he would vote for the resolu-
lion. The highest obligation should rest on
the government to purchase the papers. He
regarded them of nestimable value. They
contained the richest historical literature.
The papers were now in Washington, in pos
session of Marquis De Rochambeau, descend
ant of Count De Rochambeau. The marquis
would willingly make gift of these papers to
us if he could afford it, but he could not. The
value of the papers. $40, ,000 was in his (Voor-
hees) opinion very low.
Edmunds doubted whether the Senate had al
the present session any authority to direct the
librarian of congress to do anything what
ever.
The resolution was modified SO as to instruct
the committee on library instead of librarian to
attend to the preservation of the papers.
ingalls, said the plain English was that the
resolution was committing the sen
ate to the purchase of the
papers for $4,000 without any inspection as
to what they contained. The senator (Voor-
hees) had said the Marquis De
Roehambeau would present the papers
to the government if he could afford it. That
was an extraordinary attitude In which TO
place the gentleman who at this time is a
guest of the nation. 1t smelled little to him
of pawn broker shop, or that of dealer in
secondhand clothing to see a guest of the
nation here asking the government to make
him q present of $4,000 Friends of the
Marquis De Rochambeau would be placing
him in an unfavorable attitude.
Sherman stated that the papers have been
brought to this country at the request of the
committee on library.
ingalls,, though admitting that the papers
might, on examination, be found of great
value, ridiculed 'hatulent sentimentalism'
recently sprung up in regard to old swords
and old papers.
After a debate the resolution was adopted.
Sherman offered resolution which was laid
over under the rules, directing the financial
committee to investigate the accounts for the
expenditure of the several appropriations for
contingent expenses of the treasury depart
ment since July first, 1871.

The Prosecution of Judge Cox.

The judiciary committee of the House
held two sessions in private yesterday,
for the purpose of investigating the
charges preferred against Judge E. St.
Julien Cox. At the afternoon session
Messrs. James nj. Thompson and George
W. Summerville, of Sleepy Eye, and
Thomas Sullivan, of Minneapolis, were
examined and testified as to facts in their
possession as to the alleged misdemean-
ors of the judge. In the evening a brief
session of the committee was held, at
which Messrs. John Lind, of Tracey, M.
Sullivan, of Marshall, 81. Webber, of
New Ulm, and Clerk of Court Patterson,
of Marshall, were examined. The COM
mittee refused to divulge the nature of
evidence, claiming that its publication
at the present time might prejudice the
judge or his prosecutors. The evidence
will be given to the public in full, how
ever, as soon as it is all in, or as soon
as the committee is prepared to report to
the house.

"scalpers" did an immense business yes

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25.-A large number of
delegates to the river convention arrived
to-day and are quartered in different ho-
tells. The Louisiana delegation has regu-
larly organized with Hon. D. f. Kenner
chairman, and have had full exchange of
views, and will rate as unit in the con
vention. AT meeting this evening they
agreed to submit the following to the
convention:
ResOloed, That we heartily approve the
expressed determination of the federal
government to improve navigation by
adequately constructed levees, preventing
destructive floods, and giving ease and
safety to trade, commerce and the postal
service on the great natural highway of
the Mississippi river. Also that we ap-
prove the steps already taken in the ap-
pointment of mixed commission of
engineers from the scientific corps of the
government and from civil life to plan
and execute this great work, and in ap-
propriatlng sums of money both for
necessary surveys and examinations
Of and for commencing work under the
plan proposed by them and in view of the
greatness of the object sought, the nee
essity of the uniformity of the system
and administration, to the success of such
work in the interest of the rights of 3d.
100000 of citizens. we demand that the
efforts of the government shall be both
persistent and liberal, that the course indi-
Gated by the legislation of the last con-
gress shall be maintained in the Missls-
sippi and extended over its tributaries,
and that appropriations shall be adequate
to the magnitude of the work and the
necessity of pushing it forward as rapid
ly as the increased commercial necessity
demands.
Another resolution regarding the jetty
system at the mouth Of the river will be
added to the above when it is submitted
to the convention.
The Iowa delegation held informa
at which the Hennepin canal
system was discussed and the convention
will be asked to embrace that project in
its scope and demand of the government
aid in improving navigation.
Several delegates from towns along the
Missouri river insist that the conventio
shall recognize that river The same may
be said of many of those living on the
Ohio river, and the prospects are that the
convention will find it very difficult to
confne its action to the Mississippi river
as the projectors of it desire.
