Times, headed ''The Core of the Irish Diff
Guilty." in which ne maintains that the
question to which all men responsible for
the government of Ireland ought to turn

the arrears difficulty, he says, is solved,
every difficulty will be solved. If 1t is neg
lected, then farewell to hope of peace, pro
gress and contentment.

Henry Broadhurst, Liberal member of Par
lament, making an inquiry concerning the
truth OF the rumor that the government was
prepared to consider an amendment to
make two thirds majority necessary to close
debate, says: owe have surrounded the
closing power with strong safeguards, and
we propose that when 1t has to be applied it
shall be by simple majority. This propo-
sal we will to the best of our ability press
upon the House."
The Catholic clergy OF the diocese of
Cashel and Emily have passed resolutions,
pledging themselves TO exert all their infu-

nation OF the League were $780, $50. Up
to the present time there had been remitted
to the General Treasurer of the Irish
National Land Lesgue and Miss Parnell

explained that their States would have ap-
peared to better advantage on the statement
but for the fact that the greater portion of
their remittances had been sent direct to
Europe, and not through this organization.
The Secretary stated that the local remit
tances, including those sent direct since the
Buffalo Convention. would aggregate nearly
$500, 900. The chairman read telegram

the receipt of 1856, 600 from America. and
thanking the friends of Ireland in this
country for their noble exertions.

"ResOloed, That we are proud of the Chris
ttan forbearance of the Irish people under
their dreadful eXasperatiOns, and while ex-
hOrting every man in Ireland to continue
his Influence in preventing even the least
act OF violence, we solemnly charge the
British Government with the responsibility
for all the crimes and Outrages of an extra
ordinary nature occurring since the impris-
onment of the chosen leaders of an indomi-
table snd eXasperated race.
"ReSOIved, That while we do not ask the
release of any citizen who has violated the
Just law of the land, we demand of the
proper authorities, not as a favor but as
right, the immediate trial or unconditional
release of American citizens confined with
out accusation in foreign jails.''
The convention then adjourned, subject

regretted that so many who participate in
this sport are snobs and cads, for it is
a pastime that our cty.bred people

dangerous fall. It is outdoor exercise, and
gives one good shaking up. This amusement
is growing rapidly in popularity. and, while
the Long Island farmers may OF right set them
selves against it, the result will probably be
simply a transfer of the hunts to new fields,

lively that Kane, the United States Super

privilege than he was entitled to under the

before the election began, and that he ex.
pressed no dissatisfaction; that Kane had
been caught twice with his hand In the bal
lot box. aud it was shortly after one of
these occasions that the bundle of
tickets had been found in the box. The

OF the governments witnesses. One was
shown to be a gambler, and to have been
tried for larceny and murder Another, a
cOlored school teacher, was shown to have
forged pay rolls and swindled bank In Co
lumbia, and had improper relations with
some OF his pupils. Another was shown to
have swindled a cOlored woman out OF a
tract of land, and testimony was introduced
which went 10 show that every witness ex-
amined by the government bore bad repu-
tation in the community IN which he lived,
and to be unworthy OF belief under oath.
