WASHINGTON, December 14.-Considera-
bic interest was felt to see whether the
Civil Service or Appropriation bills would
have preference, after the Committee -on
Public Lands had made favorable report
on the resolution inquiring if lands have
been patented to railroads since the eXpira-
tion limit fixed by law and presentation,
and another asking if all the mail carrying
contracts had been carried out, and If not,
why not.
Caswell, catching the Speakers eye,
called up the POstOtfiCe Appropriation bill.
Kelly and Kasson were on their feet IN
an instant protesting, Kelly desiring to
taFe up the Revenue bills and Kasson the
civil service, but by a vote of l3O TO 26 the
appropriation bill was taken up, the Demo
Gratis voting almost solidly with the Appro-
priations Committee and in favor OF taking
up the bill.
The chairman of the House Committee
on Public Lands has been instructed to re-
port the Washburn bill, repeating the pre-
emption laws and extending the time from
six to thirty months in which homestead

MARsH's WARSAW "oRGAN."
From the Macomb Eagle.

The Warsaw Bulletin, Congressman
Marsh's home organ, is pitching into the
McClaughry men in this district quite live
ly. Speaking of the efforts of the Nc
Claughry men to carry certain counties for
their choice, the Bulletin says:
1t is easy to predict the effects of all
this.-The republicans of the district are
not fools, and the soreheads will find it
about as difficult to prejudice them with
such stuff as it was to lntimidate the Marsh
men in the late convention. The dele
gates to the congressional convention at
Monmouth next Thursday. will nominate
Col. Marsh, and he will receive hearty
endorsement from the McClaughry dele
gates from Henderson and the Gest dele
gates from Rock Island.
Referring to an article in the Carthage
GaSette-a McClaughry paper-the Bulletin
compares it to the Bushnell Record under
Capt. Epperson, two years ago, and says:
The face of the article is ulcerous with
the outcropping of bad republican blood
and personal prejudices. The republicans
will remember another Judas who in past
campaign attempted to deliver the district
to democracy, and they will also remember
with what a humiliating and Overwhelming
defeat he met. Poor Epperson had the
semblance of an excuse for his course, and
although he was unreasonable and I'M
truthful in his assaults he was not snakey
He fought losing fight The Gazette
takes up the cudgel that Epperson laid
down, with less cause and more venom,
but without the brains or influence to
WELD it with even the poorer effect of that
mistaken individual 1t will lay it away
with even the poorest success. The
journal that prostitutes itself to such vile
ends forfeits the respect of all honorable
men and deserves the disaster it invites.
The Bulletin also fires few small shot
at the McClaughry men as follows
McClaughry's pyramid as grown beau
tifully less, until now little Henderson is
all that is left of 1t.
McClaughry sent emissaries into Warren
county to ''whoop up the U. P.'s" and
others TO raise hell on the Wabash" The
same lads must have manipulated his case
in McDonough county.
Marsh has a good round majority in the
Republican convention of McDonough
county, but if McClaughry hadn't sent his
missionaries from Hancock home they
would have made the thing about unani |
nous over there.
We fancy our contemporary imagined |
blow when he said, 1--WE suppose the post
master at Blandinsville invited 8 few
Marsh men together and did up the bust |
ness without consultation with, or Motif
cation of the balance of the party" Judge, |

THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION.
After the ceremonies at the monument
had been concluded the distinguished
guests proceeded to the Exhibition build
ings, in the rear of the rotunda. There
they were met by the directors of the Ex-
hibition and escorted to the main hall by
the procession of the men employed in the
building.
OPENING OF THE GREAT FAIR.
There, while the orchestra and chorus
of 800 voices rendered Memberships
'EHymn of Praise the national anthem
was omitted from the programme Mr.
Alfred Webb, on behalf of the directors,
presented theLord Mayor with catalogue
and the keys of the building. whereupon
the Lord Mayor declared the Exhibition to
be formally opened.
THE POSSIBILITIES OF IRISH LABOR.
In his address Mr. Webb dwolt upon the
difficulties which had been encountered
only to be overcome, and upon the emf
nently satisfactory showing made in this
display of the industries of Ireland
Lord Mayor Dawson, in his reply. allud
ion of the possibilities of the Irish people
made strong point of the fact that its
success proved that the future of the Irish
race was in their own hands.
THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.
The exhibition really is an exceedingly
fine one and reflects great credit upon
every one connected with it. The build
ings comprised are the main hall. the east
and west galleries. the picture gallery, the
Rotunda, the agricultural shed and the
machinery hall. Those especially built for
the occasion are similar in general form
and arrangement to the central buildings
at Philadelphia. The are constructed of
iron, glass and wood and are very hand
some.
A WONDERFUL SUCCESS.
The exhibition is much more complete
than had any idea it would be, and
under the circumstances, got up as it was
under great difficulties and in the face
of good deal of positive opposition, it
can be called nothing else than great
success.

IRELAND's GREAT DAY.
Scenes and Incidents in Dublin as the Unveil-
ing ofthe Statue of Daniel
0'Cennell.

DUBLIN, Aug 16.-Yesterday was in
deed what heard more than one man call
it upon the street, "a great day for old
Ireland" Grave apprehensions were felt
in many quarters, as it was known that
over 10000 people had arrived in the CAPT
tai up to Monday night and many more
were expected; rumors of a rising against
the government were circulated, and prep
arations were made by the assembling of
%, 900 men in barracks to maintain the
peace.
FEARS OF A COLLISION ALLAYED.
About P M. it was rumored that the
authorizes intended to line the streets along
the route of the procession with soldiers,
but the intention was speedily and wisely
abandoned on the representations made at
the castle by the Lord Mayor, the Right
Hon. Charles Dawson, that such action
would inevitably precipitate the collision it
was desired to avoid.
A LOVELY DAY AND HUGE RowD.
The day was as beautiful as could have
been wished, though there were several
light showers before night. The route
followed by the procession was about four
miles in length. At least 10000 men
marched in the ranks, including ''caval
~ force" of some /, 800 carmen, who form
dis play The crowd of spectators was
something immense. being differently es-
timated at from 100000 to 200 900.
THE MILITARY ABSENT.
The Metropolitan police were stationed
in small parties at different points about
the city. The soldiers, generally very
prominent features in any Dublin crowd,
were conspicuous by their absence.
ALL FLAGS SHOWN BUT ENGLAND's.
The city was everywhere handsomely
dressed with flags, the green banner, with
the harp of gold, being of course the most
noticeable, though great number of
American flags were carried or hoisted. |
As a stranger to the city / was somewhat
astonished not to see displayed during the
whole day single English ensign. Even |
the Bank of Ireland, where two sentinels /
from an English regiment were posted, |
had no cross of st. George floating from
its flagstaff.

the unquestion able popularity of the beaV-
