THE LAND ACT.
Debate on the Bin Proposed to
Amend the Measure,

LONDON, April 26-In the House OF
Commons to-day Mr.. Redmond, member
for New Rose, on moving the secoRd read
ing of the land law Of Ireland act amend
ment bill, as directed by Messrs. Healy and
Parnell, said he believed that the necessity
by everybody both inside and outside the
House. Mr. Redmond said the bill was a
crushing answer to the accusation that the
Irish party desire to deprive tenants of the
benefits of the land act.
Mr.. Gladstone said the government could
not support the second reading of the BILL
The land act, he said, might not be dis
turbed, but this opinion did not apply to
the purchase and arrears clauses of it. The
latter clause certainly fell far
short of its object. and should
be legislated upon early in the present ses-
sion. The government would approsch the
question impartially, listening to sugges-
tions of all quail fed persons, and settling
the question effectusliY. Mr.. Gladl tone
praised the system for settling arrears
that many landlords thought settlements
should be compulsory. He considered
that relief should take the form of gift
and not that Of loan. he saw in the Irish
bill the first CLEAN of hope on dark sub
iect, for, although he was confident of the
power OF the empire, compulsion, be de-
clared, was completely alien to the spirit of
the constitution. At the beginning of his
speech Mr.. Gladstone referred to proposals
which, he said, it might be the
duty Of the government to introduce
during the present. session, for the direct
purpose of maintaining peace over Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone said he approved of the sp
plication OF the Irish Church surplus fund
for aiding tenants in arrears, butfeared that
the fund Was not large enough for the pur-
pose.
kMessrs. O'Shea and MacFarlane expressed
satisfaction with Mr.. Gladstone's state
ment.
Mr. Healey said he believed the intentions
of the government as indicated by MIR.
Gladstone were sincere.
Mr.. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
announced that the Land Commission would
issue circular giving notice that it is ready
to send valuator to farms where landlords
and tenants agree to adopt bis decision.
This is practically an adoption Of the main
point OF Mr.. Macfarlane's bill.

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICAL
TRIALS.
Evidence In the BsrnweII Cases Con-
tinued.

CHARLESTON, April 26 In the United
States Circuit Court to-day the trial of the
case of the United States against John T.
Hogg and thirty eight other defendants,
charged with obstructing qualified voters
from voting at the election in 1880, was re-
sumed. The prosecution examined six
more colOred witnesses, who told the same
story as those who had preceded them. The
government then rested fits case, and the
defense had examined two witnesses up
to the hour of adjournment. The witnesses
for the defense testified that owing
to the rotten condition of the
house in which they had held the
election the managers were compelled to
adopt the rule that only one vote should
be admitted at a time. With this object in
view two State constsbles were placed at
the door and admitted the voters one by
one. The white men got to the polls first
and formed into line, as is usual at elections.
Tne negroes, who had camped all night near
the polls, at daylight marched down
to the polls in company front and
demanded a right to vote. They were told
that they could vote as soon as their turn
came, and such of them as got into line and
took their turn had every opportunity to
vote and did vote. Between thirty and forty
Republican votes were cast before 9 O'Clock
in the morning. About 9 o'clock an alter
cation occurred between a white man and a
eolored man, aud the main body Of the col
ored voters, who had withdrawn from the
polls and were stationed about a hun
dred yards off, rushed down upon
the whites with yells and with clubs,
pistols, scythes and pieces Of iron in their
hands Blythe Intervention of white aud
colOred men a row was prevented, and
not a person was hurt. The difficulty
only lasted about five minutes. About this
time the leader OF the Republicans received
dispatch from one of the county leaders
telling him not to cast his vote, and accord
ingly they refused to vote any longer. When
questioned by several of the white men
why they did not vote, the negroes said
that their supervisor had failed to come. 1t
was no use to vote because the poll would
be contested, anyhow. The case will proba-
bly, consume all of tomorrow and Friday.

FERNANDINA, April %. = Editor Morning
Neips: 1t may not be known to readers Of the
News, and the public generally that the city
of Fernandina never yet attained that great
factor Of Civilizations telegraph Office. Our
little city is growing rapidly, but the grasping
hand of the monopolist having held her so
long by the throat, she can now scarcely real
ize her many wants. First and chief among
our necessities is a telegraph Office In the
city for business convenience. This, in truth,
we have not. The unknown railroad company
0he wrong party) have wires for the business Of
the road, but, be it known, this Is not for the
public, and when you are forced (for there is
no alternative) to go there with your message,
you must wait from two to three hours before
getting it off; and then, TO complete the COM
pliment, pay double rate. This Is what the
writer manifested on many occasions, and all
other business men here have the same griev-
ance.
Cannot some enterprising wire company
come to our assistance! A well arranfe1
office, located in a central portion of Fer au
dina, would be highly remunerative 70 its own
ers. hope the News will give US its invalus.-
BILE assistance to obtain this long felt need.
