The republicans in the senate have
wisely concluded TO back down" from
their caucus decision TO confirm only the
republican justices sent down for appoint
ment by the Cook county judges, and the
committee having them in charge consent
ed to report all their names to the senate,
though there was an understanding that
the republican senators would vote against
five Of the nine democrats. The effect of
the caucus back down, however, has been
to loosen the democrats from their pledge
not to pass the appropriation bills until
the democratic Chicago justices should
have had a fair show in the senate.
The report OF the committee was fol-
lowed by an immediate motion, which was
carried to 90 into executive session and
acts on the nominations, and thereupon fol
lowed about the hottest afternoon the sen
ate has yet had. The result was the con
frmation Of all the republican justices, OF
four of the democrats, the rejection OF two,
and the hanging up Of two others.

The Cartar Family.

The first minister of the town of Woburn
was the Rev. Thomas Carter. His pastorate
extended from 1642 till his death in 1854. His
descendants are numerous, and at meeting
held on Wednesday, some thirty or more rep
resentatives o. the family decided to hold re-
union of all who bear the Carter name. The
reunion will probably be held at the historic
town of Woburn, some time next year, which
is the two hundredth anniversary OF the death
of Rev. Thomas Carter. Efficient committees
were appointed. The chairman OF the general
committee Of arrangements is Mr.. John R.Car-
ter of Woburn; of the committee on finance,
Mr.. G. N. Carter, of So Winter street, Boston;
and of the committee on genealogy, Mr.. Ssmu-
al r. Carter, of Paris, Me. There are many
who bear the name of Carter who are not GER
tain of their descent from the Rev. Thomas,
hut all will be invited for the purpose of estab.
fishing genealogical facts, so far as they are ac-
cessble; and also because those who may not
be descended from him are very likely children
of his brother, who lived in Charlestown. The
moderator of the meeting was Rev. Charles +.
Carter of Manchester, n. H., and the secretary
was Rev. Clark Carter of Lawrence, Mass.
Either of these gentlemen would be glad to
answer correspondence fTom and become ac-
quainted with the genealogical facts in posses
sion of any members Of this large family,

IRELAND'S AFFAIRS.
Ezciting Parliamentary Campaigns
Home Rufe Meetings Disturbed by
Orangemen.

DUBLIN, Sept. 2S.-The parliamentary cam

ing more exciting. At Dungannon yesterday
a monster league meeting was held, at which
Thomas Power O,Connor, Member of Parlia-
ment, editor of United Ireland, and Mr.. Hea-
ley, Member of Parliament, were the speakers
Thousands of people were present all fnlly
determined to resist any attempt on the part of
the Orangemen to repeat their demonstration
speeches began, and while Mr.. Healy was deep
in his denunciation of the land act, process
sion of Orangemen, accompanied by several
bands of music and rapidly increasing in num-
bers as it NOV ed along, marched down the main
street. just beyond the Royal school they
halted, organized counter-meeting and were
addressed by j. w. Macartney, Member OF
Parliament, and Mr.. Harman. To prevent a
renewal of the riotous proceedings of We1nes-
day, troop of lancers, 100 infantry and 800
police officers had been sent to Dungannon but
even this precaution failed to deter the excit-
ed and turbulent element brought from Belfast
and other places by the Orangemen from at
tempting to break up the meeting of the Home
Rulers. Their efforts were frustrated by the
constabulary and the lancers, who patroled
the streets.
At the close of the league meeting an at
tempt was made by body of OraDgemen to
mob Mr.. Healy, as he was entering the post
office. A strong force of police drove them
back, and escorted Mr. Healy to the railway
station in safety. Three of the riDgleaders
were arrested. AS the train conveying Messrs.
Healy, O'Conner and o. Bren stopped at Port
adown it was met by bowling mob of Orange
men who overpowered the guards and assault
ed Mr.. O'Connor, against whom the ill-feeling
appears to be directed He, however escaped
with torn clothes and few bruises.

THE SENATE COMMITTEE.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 28.-John Brewster, of
Brewster & Co., was q witness today before
fore the Senate sub committee ON labor and
education. He thought the relations betw cen
capital and labor could not be affected by
legislation. In the schools there should be
less piano playing and more practical educa-
tion.
Senator Blair said in his opinion the schools
of twenty-five years ago were much better
conducted than now. He predicted that un-
less the North woke up, the Southern schools
would far excel them ia educational progress.
Lorillard & Co. said their firm employs about
1000 persons and new pays wages amounting
annually to 81, 100000. About 40 per cent. Of
their employees are girls, most of whom spend
their wagessas they earn them. All who are
injured or Sbecome i'll in their employ are
treated without charge. He favored the estab-
lishment of industrial schools. Many employ
ers, he said, are turning their minds towards
enhancing the interests of their employees,
socially and otherwise.
The committee adjourned to Monday next.
