than half-past six O'Clock. His break
fast is brought in about eight o'clock.
The usual bill OF fare is three eggs, six
or eight pieces Of toast, piece Of beef
steak from one.half to three-quarters o:
a pound, fried potatoes and coffee. This
is cooked in the kitchen. He has an ar
rangement with the cooks by which he
pays for his coffee, for he says he don't
like the taste OF the Rio coffee supplied
10 the prisoners, and also for a portion
OF the nther articles and for their cook
ing. After breakfast he cleans up his
cell, puts his books in order, reads lit
lle. and embraces the privilege Of exNr.
cising in the corridors for an hour. Re.
turning 10 his cell, he takes up hs Bible
aud reads for some time, perhaps receiv-
ing visitor or Two, for when he returns
to his Cell he IS locked in agaia. About
ten o'clock his dinner is brought 10 him.

TRE assassination OF the chief Secre-
isry and one of the under secretaries for
Ireland Is thought to have been the
work of Fenian sgitators. The Land
League denounces the act Ia severe terms
and calls os the people to assist the su-
thorities. The recent change Of trent
by the Government iAdicated that the
policy of coercion had failed to accom-.
plish what vas expected, and thst meas
ures more pacific in their nature we're
about to he resorted to. The Fenian ag.
itators feared the result of the change
and determined to strike q desperate
blow, IN order that severe proscriptve
measures might again be enforced with
the bayonet throughout ireland. Pesce-
fol means ard measures form no part OF
the progranme of the Fenisr leaders.
Constant agitation and outrages are the
life Of the Fenisn- organization, because
without these incentives the leaders, who
do not fntertsin the most remote idea of
ever seeirg Ireland become independent
OF English rule, e,would be unable to de-
eeiVe the Irish in America and England
nto giving their hard earned dollars to
enrich the seamps and ensble them to
tnfoy life in New York and London.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR vetoed the 20
years Chinese bill because, as be
claimed, it vIolsted our treaty obliga
tions with China. He, last week, ap-
proved the bill which prohibits the land
ing Of Chinese on our shores for term
Of ten years. Ths only difference in the
two bills was the time; our treaty obi
cations were violated in the second and
approved bill exactly as they were IN the
6rst and vetoed bill. Party necessities
on the Pacific slope, State election in
Oregon on the 9th day OF June, for in
stance, had more 10 do with the approval
OF the second bill, than all our treaties
with China bsd to influence the veto of
the fra: one passed. The "political as
poets" are always considered by the lead
ers of the Republican party. The Dem.
ocrsts passed both bills and the only
way out for the Republicans was to pro-
duce the pressure and compel ARTHUR
to swallow himself.

The Enquirer believes that Gen. A.
J. WARNER can win in the 18th District
this year. The change from WARNER to
DAWES was mistake, admitted now by
leading Republicans, aud 1t is almost
certain that DAWES will not be renomi-
mated. Whether he is or not, we are in
favor of General WARNER giving the
nominee trial. 1t is admitted by mem
bers OF all parties that General WARNER
was one of the sblest statesmen 10 the
House during the two years he served.

Mr.. Pendleton's speech in the Senate
