LONDON, January 2S.-Bo:h Mr..
Gladstone and Sir Michael Hicks
Beach were given ovations rs they en-
tered the House of Commons this az

operate with Mr.. Gladstone. Il is re-
ported in the lobby OF the House of
Commons this evening tina. the Queen
is sounding Lord Harrington as to his
willingness to undertake the task Of
forming coalition Ministry.
"TIMRs" POINTERS.
The Times urges, in view of the
general oppoit.on TO permitting Lord
Granville 10 resume the office Of Min
itter of Foreign Affairs, that he would
make an excellent President of the
Council and leader in the House Of
Lords. The Times al points out
Lord Ha tington's splendid chancs to
construct a nat onal party OF the
Wings and Conservatives opposed TO
home rule. "The materials for the
formation Of such a party are album
daot," says the Times, "aud the
emergency requires only leader OF
saga:ity and Courage"
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Standard this mo ming says:
"The Qlean ENTHUSIASTICALLY sum-
mon Mr.. Gladstd1e TO form a Cabinet.
II Lord Harrington refuses to Join,
the country may expect succession
Of short governments until means have
been found to rearrange the parties
upon truly national basis"
The Pot Gays: "Lord Harrington
could reck on in all matters of foreign,
Irish and domestic policies upon the
support of at least twenty-five Con-
servatives. We have thrown away
the chance of the Liberals helping us,
we must now help the Liberals.
Upon one point sound politicians
ought to agree-the necessity of de-
feating the Radicals and the Irish"
The Telegraph says the Parliament
airy supporters OF Nj. Parnell state
that he will not accept Cabinet
office.

In the February number of the
atlantic Monthly Mr.. Abbott Lawrence
Lowell has a vigorous article en-
titled ministerial Responsibility
and the Constitution" which is
devoted to showing that under
q constitutional form of govern
ment, establishing separate functions
and high degree of independence
for the executive, legislative and Judi
cisl departments, ministry re-
sponsible to the Congress is imprac-
ticable. He maintains that a respon-
sible ministry belongs to parlia-
mentary governments, not to constitu-
tional governments, and the attempt to
engrait it upon one Of the latter would
end in lis sabversion. Mr.. Lowell is
right, but he need not have any fears
OF even the serious propose. OF "a

NASHVILLE, 1ENS., January 2S.-
Early this morning Detective Page of

He confessed his guilt and is now in

EXCITING RUNAWAY hATchave-
Mr.. Irwin Nather, recently city " |.
tor OF the Memphis Scimitdr, and Miss
Susie Calender, daughter Of Mr..
Thomas Calendar of this city, were
married this aft moon. 1t was run
away match. The parents Of the lady,
who are wealthy, objected to
the match, because the aspiring
young journalist is not rich
in this worlds goods. The fact
il, Mr.. Mather went 20 Memphis
after stormy scene here with the
family OF the lady, in the hope that
absence might smooth matters. The
ruse failed, however, aud he returned
home determined to win the fair girl
who had remained true to him
through good and evil report. A
runaway match was decided on this
afternoon at O'Clock. The ardent
lover, with the editors of the
American aud Union, took hack and
drove to the residence of the lady, in
the most fashionable quarter of the
city. She was in waiting, and, telling
her parents that the die was cast and
she would marry the man she loved,
she tripped out to the carriage, and
was on the way 10 Mckenzie church,
where DR.. Barber was in waiting
before the old folks knew what was up.
The lovers were standing before the
preacher and the service had Just COM
meneed, when the lady's father, mar
ried sister and aunt rushed in.
SENSATIONAL sCRNR RksUES
The bride tainted in her lovers
arms, the father stormed and the
newspaper men pleaded for their
brother, but all in vain. The father
swore the ceremony should not be
completed; Mather swore 1t should.
The expectsnt bride, after a mo-
ment, regained consciousness. A
fuse was adopted. The newspa-
per men blocked up the aisle
and the lovers escaped through a rear
door to the hack outside. They started
of before Mather discovered that the
license had been left in the church.
One of the newspaper men found it
under the eyes Of the ira.e father. and
after hot chase reached the carriage
aud gave the all-imporiant document
to Mather and in half an hour he had
won bis bride. The lady is one OF the
bellies of Nashville fociety, beautiful,
highly cultivated and wealthy. Math-
or is popular, de CRYING young man,
and 10 congratulated.

very important questions are TO be
considered: ~ The silver question

(2) The just now very vexing question
of freights.on grain and meats, the pres
ent tariff of rates established by the
railroad pool south of tie Ohio river,
amounting to an almost pEohibition of
exports from this city Of both these
staples. (S) An appropriation for the
improvement Of Little river, the
free navigation Of which 10 essential
to the trade now enjoyed by Memphis
in that region. As to the silver ques-
sion the APPEAL suggests to the mer.
chants that they take medium ground
between the extremists who are for
an unlimited coinage of silver on one
side aud the opponents OF bimetallism
on the other, and urge upon members
the coinage Of silver dollars up to the
gold standard and the gradual recall
for resoinsge of the present so cent
dollar. As 10 grain rates they ought
to be easy Of solution on consultation
by committee of the Exchange with
the railroad managers; and Congress
should be petitioned for an spPropri-
alton for the improvement Of the Lit
tie river.
