rart in its deliberations. Among
the delegates from distant States are
j. P. Steele, Iowa; Prof. George T..
Morrow, Illinois; Cyrus II. Lakin, II.
linois; the Hon. Clinton Babbitt,

diana.
From neighboring States many gen.
tlemen of distinction will be present,
notably the Hon. f. A. Burke, editor
of the Times. Democrat, New Orleans,
one Of the ablest men in the
South, and Chas. f. Hooker,
Mississippi's one-armed silver.tongued
orator. lMr. Frank P. Morehead,
editor OF the Planters Journal, will
also attend and the Hon. j. X. G. Pit
kin, an eloquent son of Louisiana,

come will be delivered by Commits
sioner McWhirter, and Gov. Ba6e will
also speak.
One Of the satures Of the meeting
will be a butter exhibit, for which lib
eral premiums will be awarded. The
session of the Convention will be
pleasantly enlivened by vocal and in
strumental music. Real estate agents
from neighboring States will also be
present and will hold special meeting
on the afternoon OF the 25th. Ample
accommodation at moderate rates
have been provided for any possible
number of strangers who may come

will stand any demands that may bC
made upon it. 1t is tC
be hoped that the Bluff
City may be generously represented, al
the occasion will doubtless be fruitful
of benefit not only to the Agriculture
Department of this State, but to the
mercantile interests, in which Mem

John Ewens arrived t)-night on his
regular gauge inspection tour OF the

describing the condition OF the

THE EDUCATION BILL.

In the Senate on Friday the bill Tor
aiding education in the South was
under consideration, when Senator
Evarts, who is high authority upon
the subject, replied TO the legal OBJ
jections that had been made against
the bill, and declared that he failed to
see that they were well founded. He
pronounced the bill TO be ga deliber-
ate, conservative, thoughtful and hon.
orable measure for the remedy" Of the
ignorance that existe. He considered
II a measure conducive to "the COM
mon defense and general welfare"
Senator ingalls, opposed the bill, and
reproached the South for want Of self
reliance in calling upon the general
government for assistance, and assert.
ed that "the South has not been impov-
erished by the war" Senator Harris
OF Tennessee opposed the bill because
OF constitutional objections, which
Senator Evarts did not find to exist.
Mr.. Harris further stated that il those
objections did not exist he would still
oppose The bill, for the reason that the
money TO be appropriated would be
drawn by taxation by the people OF
the several States. HE would never
consent to see the strong hand Of Fed
eral power exerted in a State for the
purpose Of controlling or interfering
with its domestic affairs" Senator
Harris evidently fails to perceive that
the federal power has interfered in the
Southern States, and very efrectually.
That interference has produced effects
that require dealing with; among
them il hiss endowed race
reared in ignorance with the
ballot. Entrusted with such a
power it is OF the utmost Importance,
"tor common defense and general well
fare" as Senator ingalls, correctly ex-
pressed it, that the ignorance Of these
votsrs should be removed by provision
for education. As the difficulty arose
from an act of the Federal power
though not directly, but incidentally
there can be nothing unjust, and
nothing humiliating to the dignity Of
a State, in calling upon the Federal
power to assist in removing formida-
BILE danger arising from an act o. that
power, and the South does not merit
the reproach OF Senator Ingalls, when
it applies for remedy where the
trouble was not OF its own making,
That the South has so courageously
battled with and to 80 grea'
an extent conquered the immense
difficulties the war entailed upon it,
should be reason for aiding it where
difficulties exist beyond its power &c
deal with as speedily as is necessary
not reason why much needed aiC
should be refused. That the South
has been amazingly successful in re
covering from the effects of the war II
true, but the extent and effect OF tn,
struggle is proof Of the vastnes6 OF tn
damage that had to be repaired. Fo
Senator Ingalls, to assert, "The Soutl
has not been impoverished by tn,
war" is msniiestly contrary to tn
facts, aud In venturing on such an as
sertion the Senator showed how diff

THE IRISH QUESTION.
The UItimatum Of the People eOI
ceFmimg Home Rule.


cerning Home Rule.
LONDON, February 20.-The Irish
party will hold a meeting at the Can
non street hotel in this city on st. Pat
rick's day. Mr.. Parnell will preside.
The object OF the meeting viii. be to
issue to England the ultimatum Of the
Irish people concerning home rule.
As the ultimatum selected for the
event precedes by but five days the
22d OF March, the date set by Mr..
Gladstone for the commencement of
the government work on Irish legis-
ton, 1t is believed the Nationalist
leader means to force crisis on the
home rule question. Mr.. Parnell has
also arranged to have his party hold
fifty meetings throughout Ireland
simultaneously with the one he will
preside over. The ultimatum will
be also announced at these meetings.
PARNRLL INTERVIEWED,
London special: Mr.. Parnell, in an
interview last night, said: "The situa-
ton has not been altered by the dec
laration OF the Premier tonight. l
think il only reasonable that the Min
istry should be allowed the time Mr..
Gladstone asks for the consideration
OF the proposed measures with regard
to Ireland" With regard to the state.
ment that the government intends to
introduce the land bill teiore discuss
ing home rule, Mr.. Parnell said: "If
the government adopt the course they
will gravely mistake the sentiment of
the Irish people and their representa-
tives. Before all questions in impor-
lance for the welfare OF Ireland and in
the anxiety Of the Irish people is the
question OF home rule. While there
are many questions in Ireland at
present, especially questions connected
with the land, entailinR hardships, |
think the people are unanimous in
the feeling that in the great crisis
which events have now ripened, the
highest wisdom and duty will consist
in subordinating the interests OF every
class to the interest OF all classes. /
am further Of opinion that IL the land
question be left to an Irish Parliament,
landlords will obtain a more favor
able settlement than il thrown upon
the mercy of the present Parliament
at Westminster"
The leaders OF the Irish Parlia.
mentsry party are in a state Of mild
exultation to-day over the announce
menls made by Mr.. Gladstone in the
House OF Commons last night. This
is not because the Premier has as yet
promised to do much for Ireland, al
though his speech is understood as
pledging him to introduce definite
scheme OF home rule on or about
March 22d, bat because he has set at
rest the rumor that this burning ques-
ton was to be postponed for six
months or until the next session, be-
cause he was outspoken against coer-
cion and because there is a good pros
pect Of peace in Ireland during the
comparatively brief postponement Of
the home rule question that the gov
eminent proposes.

ist member for North Longtord, wa
found this morning in high spiIiH
