\ Strange Idea of Fun.

NEW YORK, May 7.-Late last night while a social party, numbering about fifteen per sons, wore enjoying themselves at the resi- dence of Mir. and Mrs Frank Clifford, One Hundred and Tenth street., Riverside Drive, some unknown person threw nitro glycerine cartridge into the apartment where the party were gathered. The cartridge exploded with loud report, shattering the window and shutters of the room and striking terror and alarm into all present. Mrs. Clifford was badly cut about the head and face and is con- fined to her bed. Miss Jane Leonard and Miss Bessie Clifford and several others of the party were also slightly injured by broken glass and debris. A man named William Moreton, rock plaster, who occupies apart ments over those occupied by the Cliffords, was arrested on suspicion, but discharged for want of evidence. No cause can at present be assigned for the dastardly act other than that it was done for mere mischievonsness. The police are hard at work trying to unravel the affair

many opposing it earnestly, while others ex-
 press the belief that with some amendments
 the bill should pass. The Greenbackers,
 however, show much excitement when the subject of national banks comes within range, and as the result long debate may be expected on the subject. When this is out of the way the contested election cases come up, and a long contest is expected upon the subject. The Democrats are preparing to resist the unseating of Dibble of South Carolina and the chances are that there will be lively fight over the question. The Re- publicans propose to seat Mackey. The Democrats will move to refer the case back to the Committee on Elections to take testimony. This will be resisted by the Re- publisans, who will press the resolution to seat Mackey, whereon the Democrats will. it is said, filibuster.

LONDON, May 8.-Mr. Forster has offered Gladstone his services provisionally as chief secretary for Ireland.
 At the meeting of Conservative leaders last evening it was agreed to postpone the motion of want of confidence which was to have been moved this afternoon, but instead will proffer their support to the government.
 Parnell, Dillon and Davitt will issue man. ifesto denouncing the deed as calamity to the cause of Ireland, and appealing to the people to join in an expression of universal feeling of horror at the crime.
 The German and French press generally attribute the crime to the Irish belief that the Gladstone ministry was impotent and as- sert that the clemency recently shown by the government would lead to further excesses

RoIief for Fftz John Porter.


 WASHINGTON, May I'm reply to General Fitz John Porter's application of April 17, for remission of the portion of the sentence of his court martial that is being executed, the President has issued the following order and has thus removed the only legal obstacle to Congressional action, and exhausted all his powers in the case under existing laws Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States of America
 To all whom these presents may come greeting:
 Whereas, On the 10th day of January, 1863, Fitz John Porter, then major general of vol unteers in the military service of the United States and also colonel of the Fifteenth regi- ment of infantry and brevet brigadier general in the United States army, was by general court martial, for certain offences Of which he had been thereby convicted, sentenced ito be cashiered and to be forever disquali- fled from holding any office of trust or profit under the government of the United States;' and
 Whereas, On the 21st day of January, 1868, that sentence was duly confirmed by the President of the United States, and by his order of the same date carried into exe- cution and
 Whereas, So much of that sentence as forever disqualified the said Fitz John Per- ter from holding office imposed upon him 8 continuing penalty and is still being execu- ted and
 Whereas, Doubts have since arisen con- corning the guilt of the said Fitz John Por- ter of the offences whereof he was convicted by the said court martial founded upon the result of an investigation ordered on the 12th day of April, 1878, by the = President of the United States, which are deemed by me to be of sufficient gravity to warrant the remission of that part of said sentence which has not been completely executed.
 Now, therefore, know ye that l. Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, by virtue of the power vested in me by the Con- stitution of the United States and in consid- eration of the premises, do hereby grant to the said Fitz John Porter full remission of the hereinbefore mentioned continuing pen atty.
 In witness whereof 1 have hereunto signed my name and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of May, A. D. 1882 and of the independence of the United States the 1O6th.
 CHESTER A. ARTHUR, President.
 Frederick T. Frelinghuysen,
 Secretary of Stats. The following is General Porter's accept anoe:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May ,, 1882. Hon. Frederick T. FreIinghuysen, Secretary of State
 SIR-I respectfully ask you to express to the President my acknowledgment of the re- ceipt, through you, and my appreciation of his order remitting the continuous portion of the sentence imposed upon me by court martial in 1863.
 I am very respectfully yours, etc,
 FITZ JOHN PORTER. General Porter's memorial to Congress re- cites and embraces the documentary history of the case, and asks that Congress will take the necessary action to at once carry out the recommendation of the advisory board of army officers ordered by the President, and to restore him to the positions of which the sentence of the court martial deprived him.

RoSSa's Idea of the Assassination
The Views of American Officials.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Executive officers express no opinion about the murder of Lord Cavendish, but prominent Senators and Con- gressmen deplore the fact, particularly on account of the probable effect it will have on IreIand's future.
 Editor Ford, of the T,2sA World, has sent telegrams to many prominent people here asking for expressions as to their ideas on the Irish question. Among those applied to are all of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Their answers have invariably expressed sym pathy with the cause, but solemnly caution Ireland against rashness and injustice.
 prominent official of the State depart ment, who has resided for years abroad and who is thoroughly posted on Irish subjects, assassination of Lord Cavendish to that class of Irish agitators' who live by agitation, col lecting ten cents for the league and ninety cents for themselves. They were, he said, far sighted enough to see that with the suc- cess of the peace policy their occupation would be gone, while the restoration of the coercion policy would be a harvest for them. He feared their plans would result in the overthrow of Gladstone and the establish ment of new coerciye minister. Mir. Fors- ter might be premier, but he doubted if he had sufficient calibre. He would probably be an influential member of the new Cabinet. The discovery of the murderers and dis closure of their motives might, he thought, give another coloring to the outrage and per haps save Gladstone and Parnell, between whom he doubted not there had been an un- derstanding when Parnell had been tempor- arily released,

work of any friends of the Laud League, nor does he believe any Irish organization is re- sponsible for it. It is not outside the region of possibility that the assassination was the work of some desperate Irish landlords whose fortunes they think have been ruined by the Land League, as their cause now they say has been betrayed by Gladstone. As suredly an enemy has done this.
 Rossa's Idea of the Assassination.
 NEW YORK, May 7.-O'Donovan Rossa, head of the Irish skirmishing organization in this city, was seen to-day by representative of the National Associated Press. When asked for his views on the assassination of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, Rossa said that he had an opinion, but declined to make it public. He would not give an opinion as to whether the act would be for the benefit of Ireland or not or whether it was the work of skirmishers. He thought that cer- tain factions in Ireland had for some time in- tended to put Mir. Burke out of the way, and Lord Cavendish unfortunately being with him and an eye witness to the assassination he also fell victim.
