Unknown Fate OF TWO vessels.

HALIFAX, July 81 Schooner Marie Annie
sailed from Pictou over six weeks ago. with a
cargo of coal for this port, and nothing has
since been heard from, and fears are enter
tanned that she is lost.
A fisherman named Sam Gray, picked up a
black bottle floating eight or ten miles off
Sambro. In the bottle he found sheet from
a circular OF Leve & Alden's Tourist Agency,
on the back of which was written, in large,
struggling letters, the following: March,
1882; Ship Oasis, from Cardiff, bound to New
York; ninety days out; short of provisions;
heavy gale of wind coming on and ship max
ing water; never EXP ect to reach destination;
lat. a. 25, Ion. $3.50. This is wrote by one of
the crew; one in hopes it may give some It'd
ing for what end we max" The document
bears no signature, and from tke character of
the spelling and writing is evidently the work
of an uneducated man. Whether it is hoax
or not it is impossible to say.

THE THREE ENGLISH PaRLII-
MhNT PARTIES.

The London Echo, a liberal paper,
points out that there are now three
parties in the House of Commons
These are the Government Party, the
Conservative Party and the Iush
Party. Taking the views Of the
three parties Ia respect to hisb
affairs, the Echo describes the Gov
ermaut Party as anxious to 80 ius-
Uce 20 Ireland by remedial measured
in respect to the teuantry, accom-
panre! by strong measures to over
awe the disShscted; the IRISH Party
as supporting the government in its
remedial measures, but opposing
those that are coercive, and The Con.
erryaIive Party defending the cause
OF the land lords against the tenants,
but supporting the government IN
reprepsng lawlessness with strong
hand. The definition Of the viows
and purposes of the three Por6a-
mentary Parties is in tho main just.
1t 10 true thGt the Government
Party is carrying the olive branch in
the one hand and the sword in the
other, and that the Irish Party is
willing to accept the olive branch
but dencunccs the cword. But it is
also true that while it accepts all
that Il can get in the way OF sub
stantul amelioratlon OF tenant right,
with prospective propriotorship, it
simply takes these as installments OF
demand that will not be aaCsfpd
with less than legislative lndepend =
ence, The Irish heart is hopeful as
well as aggressive, and patriotic IT.
ishmeu believe that "to that com
| plexion it will come at last The
Conservative Party, on the other
hand, is the party that defends The
interests of property and opposes the
concessions to Ireland, because il
fears that the next step will be tC
demand similar concessions for the
tenant farmers OF England.

No RELIEF FROM USHING
TANITTONi

The sham which originated in the
House of Representatives, pretend
lnS to be relief from taxation, but
which was really contrived in the
interest of the banks, OF the propri-
etors of patent medicines. OF the
dealers in perfumery, and of the
monopoly Of manufacturing matches,
says she New Yolk san. may now be
regarded as dead aud done for.
Alarmed at the signs Of public
resentment against Congress, the
Senate committee sought to propi-
tiate favor by adding steel and su-
car to the other items When the
bill was reported to The Senate in
this changed form, the door was at
once opened to amendment. The
Democrats weie placed in position
to test the sincerity o! the Republi-
can side by proposing real measures
Of general reliei, allsof which ema-
mated from the Republican caucus.
The record shows how those prop
ositiona were received, and it also
shows that, after days Of discussion,
the Republicans Abandoned their
bill on Wednesday, and took up in
stead that enormous swiudle which
Secor Robeaon proposed and carried
through the House. to secure his
monitor job, and to punioh num-
ber Of officers who had disapproved
of bis corrupt management Of the
navy under Gen. Grant.
This retreat leave es the kepubli-
can Party in grave dilemma for
the fell elections. Tie reckless
proAigacy and .prodigatity Of this
Congress exceed all experience,
The farmers, the mechanics, the
lsdorers, and the plain people, as
Mr. Lincoln called them, who pay
the 6reat body oil the taxes by the
sweat Of their brows, have cried
aloud for reeit and they have
cried in vain.
Congress will adjourn leaving a
disoreditatie record. 1t has voted
away the peoples money in Wild ex =
travsgence, without any honest at
tempt to reduce the burdens that
weigh upon industry and enterprise.
II the Democrrts are at al wise N
their nominations, and in presenting
the issue OF retrencbment and re-
form, as they did in 1874, history
SiU be apt to repeat itself in the
experience Of the coming elections.
