THE GOVERNMENT SHARPLY ARRAYED BY THE
IRISH MEMBERS.

LOSpoN. August 14.-There was long
debate, characterized by much obstruc-
ton on the part OF the Irish members, in
the House OF Commons last night on 4 vote
for the legal expense incurred in the re-
cent criminal prosecutions in Ireland.
Mr.. Harrington, member for West
Meath, alleged that Myles Joyce. who was
found guilty and executed for participa-
ting in the murder OF the Joyce family ID

ty Galway, on September Is, 1852, was !u-
dicially murdered, despite the fact that
evidence OF his innocence was accessible 10
Earl Spencer, the Lord-Lieutenant OF Ire
land.
NJ. Callan, member for Louth, declared
that the Government could have brought
the Pbnnix-Park murderers 10 justice
without the evidence Of james Carey, bat
that Sir William Iarcourt, the Home secre-
tary. contri,ed to have Carey accepted as
an informer for the purpose OF endeayoring

Parliament with the murders.
MIR. Parnell repeated the charges OF Jury
hacking IN Ireland and Of the reckless de-
sire OF the Government 10 procure convle-
tions for the purpose OF striking terror
among the people OF that country by the
tyrannical use Of the powers Of secret in
quiry.
Mr.. Porter, the Acknowledgement for
Ireland, replying TO the remarks OF Tue
Irish members, said that as long as afro
cious crimes went unpublished the mefns
Of inquiry allowed by law would be used
without shrinking.
During the debate Mr.: Harrington
charged Lord Spencer with having Myles
Joyce hanged when he knew the con,
demned man was innocent. He was called
10 order for this remark, and then modified
his statement, as mentioned in the forego-
ing dispatch.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.l
LITTLE PLYMOUTH, NA.,I
August 10, 1888.
The Coalition party Of this county held
their Convention Saturday last at the
Courthouse, and nominated Mr.. T. L.
MIlby for the Legislature. Very little is
known 10 outsiders as to what was carried
on in the Convention, as they closed the
doors against NIL but party friends; but
from what could be learned from the par
Elephants they had quite a stormy time. 1t
seems that another was the choice Of the
majority Of the delegates, and would have
been nominated if they had been LET alone;
but that was not according to programme,
and by some means unknown TO outsiders
and to a majority Of those inside MIR.
Milby was nominated. The majority are
not satisfied about it. Mr.. Milby is thought
to be the weakest man that they could have
nominated. The Democrats have no fear
OF his being elected.
1t is very dry in this section, and the
crops are giving away very much. 1.

The Revolt I'm Spain.
(By cable to the Dispatch.l


LONDON, August IA dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says that several
sergeants who took part in the revolt at
Santo Domingo have been executed at that
place. They refused TO make any dis
closures in relation to the revolutionary
plot. There have been no disturbances at
Valencia or Seville, but some arrests OF
civilians and suh-otlicers have been made
at those places as measures Of precaution.
PARIS. August 14.-At meeting OF the
Anarchists held to-day at Lille, over which
Henri Rocheiort presided, cheers were
given for "the Spanish republic"

De La Vega Armijo, when returning to the
Capitol. traversed Portugal, and learned
the full details Of the plot OF the reyOlu-
tionary fraternity, which comprised all
grades between the ranks OF sergeant and
lieutenant colonies inclusive, divided
into circles, ten persons only knowing the
centres OF organization. II the move
ment had been successful each officer was
to receive two steps in promotion. Officers
who retired at the restoration OF the mon
archy took an important part in the move
ment. The military. it thus appears, lent
themselves to ZOrilla's arms for purely
selfish motives.

In the leading markets of supply
there is a firmer feeling for the food
essentials, but no sharp advance has
occurred except at the speculative
center, Chieago, and the unsettled
condition Of prices there indicate
lack Of permsnency in sustaining
them. AS compared withthe opening
of the present month, wheat is go
per bushel cheaper, corn Il to 11c
dearer; oats, unchanged, mess pork,
42lc cheaper; lard, a shade dearer;
while dry sailed and smoked meats
are unchanged for most qualities, with
a shade cheaper on some classes. The
foregoing comparisons are with the
Chicago, st Louis and Cincinnati
markets, three leading points from
which a large volume Of supplies are
distributed. In this market corn is
scarce and strong and millers have

that mysterious people who once pop
ulated this region, but have been
obliterated ages gone by yet are a never
ending subject for conjecture and study
by the antiquarian,
In a bend Of Harpeth river, about
eight miles rom White Bluff and a few
miles above the famous "Narrows" Of
Harpeth, is field containing 200 acres
known as Mound Bottom" In this
field are numerous mounds by this
extinct race Of people. Rev. Mi. Cole
made a careful examination Of these
mounds. One neal the center OF this
field is over sixty feet high, and
covers nearly an acre Of ground. There
are several more in this field, but this
one is the largest, On the opposite
side of The river from Mound Bottom
is an immense bluff 300 feet high and
perpendicular on the side next to the
river. On the highest summit Of this
bluff. aud at one point overlooking the
country for miles around, is one Of
these mounds. Three miles up the
river from this point is Paint Rsck an
immense bluff on which is painted
