LONDON, May 17-Michael Brennan,
In speech at Ballyroon, Sunday last,
declared that year hence that if any re-

he would be laughed off the platform. He
characterized the land bill as a miserable
measure, and advocated a general strike
against all rent. He said the anti-slavery
movement in America commenced by
offers Of compensation TO slave owners,
but that slavery was washed away in
blood. He said the people should make
it impossible for landlords to collect ren.s.
TUNIs, May 16.-It is now considered

For want of space yesterday we
failed to remark upon the orderly and
decorous proceedings observed at Elm.
wood cemetery last Sunday afternoon.
A full report, however, rendered this
less necessary. The crowd was one of
the largest that has ever gathered
upon such an occasion, and it is graf
flying fact to all who would honor the
memory ofthe Confederate dead in a
proper spirit that not the slightest in
cident occurred that was calculated to
mar the harmony, solemnity and
beauty of the day. Long may it be
observed in such manner and spirit,
even long after the last Confederate
now living has been numbered with
those who inhabit that beautiful city
of the dead. The programme was
faultless, the II usic grand and inspir
ing and the lessons Of morality and
wisdom inculcated deeply impressive
A community that lends itself to such
gentle influences that honors the dead
and the Sabbath day and the Author
thereof has much to be thankful for,
and may indeed expect the highest
blessings vouchsafed to mortals here
below.

Conversational,

WASHINGTON, May H. In the senate,
Mr.. Davis (W. Va.), after the reading of
the journal, inquired ironically of Mr..
Dawes whether he was not now ready to
proceed with tho consideration of the res
olutlon for the election of senate officers.
Dawes replied that whenever a majority
of the senate shonld decide on that reso-
luton he would bow to it. He would not
be found resisting the will of the senate
itself. If the senator from West Virginia
had become, through an accidental occur
ence on therepublican side, ready to submit
to the will Of the majority, because he
believed there was q majority on his side.
He Dawes had not a word to say, but
was willing to bow TO the will Of the ma
jority for or against him.
Senator Dawes said be was glad the
senator from Massachusetts, was willing to
proceed with the pending business, which
he had been so anxious to 60 on with
during the past month.
Mr.. Dawes regretted that the senator
waa ambitious to expose the ground on
which be stood. One would suppose that
when a United States senator took po-
sition so inconsistent radically with the
fundamental principals Of government,
that the majority should not rule unless
that majority would de as he wanted it,
be would not be ambitious to uncover it
TO the American people.

AN IMPORTANT TEST CASE.
The Brewers of Kansas Against
The PrOlibiIOry Law.

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE Republicans
Kansas City special dispatch from Law
renee, Kansas, states that John Walrup
of the Lawrence brewery, arrived here
to-day fom Chicago, where he attended
the meeting of the National brewers as
sociation. Having about $4,000 in
vested in his brewery business, which is
destroyed by the prohibitory law, he laid
the matter before the association, and they
agreed to help him to the amount Of
$4,000 if necessary, in testing the validity
of that law in the United States supreme
court. 1t is understood that he Is pre-
pared TO make this test case; and that
the papers are already made out for his
arrest, and the placing his case in course
of adjudication. Under the sanction and
protection Of the state laws he was en-.
couraged to engage in the manufacture Of
beer, and he proposes now to ascertain
whether under the federal constitution
state has the right to take his property for
public use, by prohibiting him TO sell what
the state law permitted him to manufac-
ture. If the right of the state to enact
supplementary laws includes the right to
destroy private property without COM
pensation, the brewers propose to have
the exact limits of the authority defined
by the tribunal of last resort
