DUBLIN, September 1.-THE United
Ireland to-day, commenting on Mr..
Chamberlsin's recent speech. says
twenty-seven Invincibles murdered
Government officials, attacked the
judges and jurors, and held this city
and State chattering with terror until
the band was finally broken up, be-
cause some Of its members failed to re-
member their oath of refusal to open
their lips, when, if they had kept their
mouths sealed. the Castle star-chamber
Inquiry would have merely involved a
week in prison. Similar organizations
would he started in every city and town
and village throughout ireland if Mr..
Chamberlain argument Of Irish weak.
ness is pushed to extremities. The
paper then discusses the probable re-
suit Of England following the policy in
dicated in Chamberlain's speeches, and
says that such a course would probably
result in the French army landing at
Limerick simultaneously with an Irish
conhsgration in all the principal cities
in England, and well-planned attacks
on various palaces and banks in London.

SAN FRANCISCO, September H.
Several weeks ago Judge Clough, Of the
Superior Court, became insane, and was
duly committed to the asylum at Stock
ton. There was considerable discus
sion at the time in legal circles as to
how his place on the bench could be
filled. there being no provision Of the
Constitution or Code which created
vacancy in the case Of a
Judge going mad. The difficulty was
apparently solved by the resignation
Of the Judge, written, as every one sup
posed. during a lucid interval, but now
1t turns ont that he was quite insane
when he signed the paper. Within the
last few days he has recovered his rea-
son sufficiently to attend to his BUSH
ness. and he declares that he has no re-
collection Of his resigning his judge
ship. II appears that his wife. wishing
10 care for him at home. took him from
Stockton with the assent Of the doctors,
but without q certificate Of recovery;
that after his arrival in the city, at
the request Of the clerk Of the court his
wife induced him to sign his resignation,
it being understood that she should re-
tain the paper for certain length Of
time, and III the event of the Judges
recovery destroy it; but that if he got
no better she should send it to.the Gov
ernor. lie did not get better. she for
warded it 10 the State Capitol, and the
Governor appointed Walter Levy judge
in his place. Clough, however, has
since improved, and is now sane. The
political Code Of the State declares that
person of unsound mind can make
no conveyance OF other contract,
nor waive any right until his restoration
To sanity. Mrs. Clough testifes that
the Judge was insane when he signed
tie resignation, and he confirms the
statement by syerring that he has no
recollection Of the circumstance. lie

a League club here in 1856. The club
has been run at a loss this year, and
there was such lack Of interest shown

LOUISVILLE, KY, September H.
"Tobacco-day," or the celebration OF
the sale of the one-hundred-thousandth
hogshead of tobacco in Louisville this
year, took place to-day. The city IS
crowded, so that locomotion in busi'
ness streets is almost impossible. Ex-
cursion trains from neighboring States
have been arriving since yesterday, and
there are fifty thousand visitors in the
city. The parade was magnificent
pageant. It was composed Of the most
elaborate, artistic, and costly displays,
representing nearly every commercial
interest. II was over eight miles long,
and took hours to pass a given point.
Though the various commercial in
tercsts were represented, the tobacco
interest was given the post Of honor,
and their displays occupied three ont
OF the procession Of eight miles. The
streets were crowded from early morn,
and it being a holiday, the city was
handsomely and deliberately decorated.
Fully fifty Thousand visitors witnessed
the procession, which began its march
at 1880 o'clock, and paraded the prin-
cipal streets, headed by the police and
fire departments. There were many
very picturesque displays in the pro-
cession, and large quantities Of
tobacco Of all grades and quail
ties were hanging from different wagons.
White Burnley, Virginia wrappers,
the celebrated IIart.county yellow
prior, Green-river dark leaf; heavy,
rich, long tobacco from Christian and
other southern counties blue prior,
GAINESVILLE leaf, and every other quail
ty known and used by manufacturers
were represented in the display. The
tobacco-men not only had separate, in
dividual displays, but they all united in
preparing a number of huge floats,
representing tobacco in all stages Of
cultivation and manufacture. Among
the prominent floats to be noticed was
sn immense decorated platform, with
designs intended to represent the
whole tobacco trade. Another was
a panorama Of Columbus discovering
America another Sir Walter Raleigh
presenting the Queen Of England, sur
rounded by five maids Of honor. with
leaf of tobacco; another was realistic
tobacco-plantation scene. Following
the tobacco-foats came nine other long
divisions in the parade representing vs.
rious other interests and industries, and
these were equally as interesting and
attractive as the preceding. The pro-
cession was four hours passing a given
point. The procession ended at the
Exposition, where the largest crowd
ever in the building assembled.
Damrosch's orchestra PLAYED L" To-
bacco." Several speeches congratula-
tory to the trade Of Louisville were
made, and 4 hogshead Of fine Burley
tobacco, selected as the One-hundred-
thousandth hogshead, was sold at auc-
ton. The hogshead weighed l,l90
pounds, net, and brought s2,023, or

and burned together. One OF the cars
was laden with whiskey, three with cot

William Lyon, Of this city, who was
driving the locomotive Of the train that
ran into the forward section, gives a
graphic description Of the accident. lie
says had the 1agman signalled him a
quarter Of a mile further back the col
lision might have been averted, but he
was not tagged down until it was TOO
late TO stop. Lyon blew down brakes
and reversed, but all to no effect.
Within one hundred yards Of the for
ward train he leaped from his loco
motive, barely missing a telegraph
pole and falling down a high
embankment, sustaining severe shak-
ing up. The colored fireman, John
Glasgow, laid down in the tender
against the coal and was carried through
the entire wreck unscathed. Aleck
Hurt, colored brakeman, was not so
fortunate. He was caught under the
debris and burned to death, as were
also two unknown tramps, who
were stealing ride on the rear
of the tender. The colliding locomotive
was utterly demolished and burned up.
A section of the Lynchburg fire depart
ment was dispatched to the scene OF the
accident to-day to suppress the flames
and put out the burning coal, in order
TO enable workmen to construct track
around the wreck. Passengers and bag
gage have now to be transferred, and
