Plans Tor Carrying on the Nationalist
Agitation.


A great meeting of the National Leaguers
OF the county of Londonderry, Ireland,
was held in the city of londonderry
Saturday. The object was that OF devils
ing methods OF carrying ON the National
list agitation by series OF public meetings,
which may escape the usual prohibitions
issued by Dublin Castle against the con-
ventions avowedly in the interest OF the
league propaganda. IT was, after q long
discussion, decided TO organize coiitinu-
Gus series OF anniversary celebrations of
episodes in the Irish resistance to Eng .ish
invasion. The sentiment is that the
Castle authorities will not prohibit or dis
turb these ostensibly patriotic celebra-
tiOns, while the very nature of the occa-
sions will tend to revive the Irish national
spirit and make it the more susceptible to
league influences. The first of the new
series of meetings viii be held on the 18th
of the present month, which will be the
anniversary of one of the most inspiring
events in the annals / Irish patriotism.
1t was on this date, in 1889, that some
cool-headed apprentice boys of London
derry, while the citizens of the town were
running about in wild panic over reports
that a general religious massacre had been
ordered and was about to be put into eX
ecution, noticing the approach OF King
James's troops under Lord Antrim, drew
up the ferry gates just as. the besieging
soldiers were about to secure their pos
session, and thus so efiectually barred out
the enemy that the town was enabled to
properly put itself in condition to success
fully resist the memorable l0o-days siege
Every arrangement will be made to have
this Derry celebration as successful as
possible. The orations will be delivered
by the ablest speakers in the league, and
inducements will be held out to draw
excursionists from all parts of Ireland.
Much anxiety is felt by the league
leaders as to what policy the gov
ernment will adopt toward the pro-
posed class of meetings. The Derry meet
ing will be largely experimental. The
leaguers assume that as the Derry resist
aIce to King James was mainly Prot
estant the Orangemen should not oppose
the celebration, but the Orangemen de-
clare that the new league scheme is
merely a false pretense, devised for the
purpose of hoodwinking the officials into
tolerance of dangerous form of ma
tional propaganda, and have already
threatened to organize counter-celebra-
tions for the purpose of making riots i'm
minent,and so inducing the castle to issue
the usual prohibitions

HOW ATKINS
Was Defeated for Clerk of The H0use Of
EcnrPSenfAiiNes.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial Go
scite: 1t seems that there We're not two
ballots for clerk, but than when the roll
call was finished, and the tally stood
Clark 92, Atkins 81, Martin 6, friends OF
Atkins, headed by no less person than
Randall himself, who left his seat for the
purpose, obtained the change of three
Martin votes to him, leaving the tally at
Atkins 81, Clark 81, Martin ). Immedi-
ately afterward, Phil Thompson and 9TH
ers induced change of two Atkins men
to Clark, making it Clark 81, Atkins 81.
Martin $. Then, while the tellers and
clerks were puzzled Martin vote was
changed TO Clark, electing him-by Clark
%, Atkins %, Martin ,. 1t was the one
close fight of the caucus, and the length
of the ballot and the uncertainty for a
time of the result led to the general idea
outside that tie had occurred, and that
two ballots had been taken. As giving an
idea OF the immensity of the Democratic

WE devote great deal of space this

made by the several secretaries, and
Il careful review of the foreign re-
aations OF the government 1t is a
compact and business-like document,
out there is much in il that not only the
Democratic but the Republican party will
dissent from. Indeed, the bill introduced
IN the Senate yesterday by Senator Ed
munds providing for the construction of
four postal telegraph lines, is in the very
teeth OF President Arthur's expressed OPP
position to postal telegraphy, and this no
doubt will have the consent of a
majority OF the members of both
houses. What Mr.. Arthur says about
the regulation 10y Congress of the inter.
State traffic by railroads will command
attention rs tribute to the sagacitv of
Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, who for years has
pressed this matter upon the considera-
tion of Congress with the aid of
a majority OF the Democratic members
of both houses. The radical measure
the President suggests for the eStirpa.
tion and suppression Of polygamy
will challenge attention as really the
only means left the government TO nc.
complish that purpose, and that will do it.
AS TO the tariff bill of the 3d of March
last, which Arthur does not wish to see
repealed or amended, Mr.. Carlisle's elec-
tion to the Speakcrship of the House is a
plain answer that it is to give place to one
that will distribute the burdens OF
taxation more equitably and assure the
rights OF the people as against the monop.

was passed. There are other points in

MnwAukEE, December Through the

other powerful friends, Isaac X. MoultOn,
veteran inmate of the Soldiers Home,
was to-day released from the insane asy-
lum at Wauwatosa, where he has been
confined for twelve days, illegally. Having
quarreled with the head nurse of the
hospital OF the Soldiers Home, he was
seized by Provost Sergt. Hall and COM
mitted to the asylum on papers signed by
Gen. Sharpe, commanding the home, who
entirely ignored the legal. requirement
that person so committed must be ex-
amined and pronounced insane by two
competent physicians. Gen. Sharpe did
not see Moulton at all, and it transpires
that ersonal enmity of the officials at the
Home was the only cause for commitment.
Moulton is pronounJed sane, and will
bring suit against DIR. Mcbride, of the
asylum, fos false imprisonment, and will
prefer charges against Gen. Sharpe before
