Court found q provision In the law for
this; but the award of the new jury will
be final.
1t has come out that the large and
lofty stone building corner OF Pennsyl-
yania Avenue and 18th Street on the
South West, has passed under the con-
troll of the Richmond & Danville Rail-
road, and will be their headquarters,
the officers to occupy the upper stories
as residences for themselves and fam
lilies. This building was originally
erected for the Republican newspaper
under Murtagh; but the paper was bet
ter housed than it could afford, and had
to get humber quarters. Then the
Census office and tile Pension Bureau
rented il; both finally abandoning II.
It is one Of the finest buildings in the
city.
4 railroad to the Grea Falls of the
Potomac is OH the carpet and soon to be
set booming" The track to be OIL the
Maryland side Of the river, OH or near
the conduit of the aqueduct. Then the
Falls will be better opened to public in
spection; the lands surrounding them
improved, and the whole line gradually
cut up into small properties for out-of-
town residences.
Talk of earthquakes, New Zealand
takes the lead. l must leave you to do
better Justice to the narrowing details
than my space will admit of.
The information we get about Irish
affairs is disgracefully unreliable, anu
therefore the reports about Mr.. Glad
stones recalcitrancy after he has heard
the decision of the people, may be man.
ufactured, like most Of the other stun
sent us, In this whole business the
American press has, for the most part,
discredited itself, and, TO an undesirable
degree, the whole country. Instead OF
having reliable Americans for corre-
spondents, the chief journals engaged
Irish. and those the most ultra, in that
capacity, and thus "fooled our people to
the top of their bent" The Washing
ton Post under the head of 'lrisE cor
respondents" says that our "people gen.
orally have been deceived by the foreign
news they have read, and this news has
usually been filtered through the New
York papers. These papers have large
ly been represented in England by
Irishmen" (often able and eloquent, no
doubt "but they are an ardent, impul-
sive, prejudiced race, hot in their hates
and their affections, and few hots
make an overdo. Instead of sending
Americans, the New York dailies have
been thus represented by Irish in En-
gland. The Sun by an Irish member Of
Parliament, Thos. NJ. Healey, and Mr..
Sullivan; the World by Henry G. Gill
also member of Parliament, and two
anonymous members; the Herald by
O'Kelly and Mccarthy members of Par
lament and II. B. Connery, and the
Star by Thos. Power O'Conner, men,
Der of Parliament. The Post adds "The
American public has previously suf-
fered because of the extravagant infu-
sion of (ictitious) patriotism into the
average Metropolitan newspapers. AT
any rate, says the Shepherdstown' REG
IsTER, "Shake not thy CORY locks at us;
thou can st not say zoe did it," How
ever, it cannot be alleged that it is all
"hotheadism" with those Irish writers;
thew and their cause have made a pretty
penny ont of the hubbub. They would
like it kept up.
More troubles are reported relative to
captures of fishing vessels, from Glouces-
ter, Mass, probably. This thing should
be stopped, and law and treaty faith
fully respected. If the Canadians are
and have been wrong, make them pay
full damages; if our side are the ag-
gressors, let that be acknowledged and
right resume her sway.
Much feeling is entained about the
Senate's rejection of John Goode as So
licitor General. 1t is said to have been
done through bargain in 1881 between
the Republican Senators and Malone;
when the form Ter. in consideration Of
his having given them the control OF the
Senate, agreed always to sustain Ma
hone in all matters affecting Virginia.
1t is a question whether the President
will renominate GOode.
Our latest European news gives Glad
stones foes about 1875 majority over him
and Parnell. Salisbury will be Prime
Minister and Lord Harrington in alli-
ance with him. The talk is that the
Irish National League will be put
down; a check put to unlimited debate,
and obstructionism suspended. Hart
lngton scores Gladstone for his practical
alliance with Fenian agitatienists in
America and Ireland, whose only object
has been an independent Irish Republic,
to attain which violence, bloodshed and
destruction of property are declared le-
Ultimate. To yielG now, says Harting-
ton, would be TO meet the same exigency
again under worse circumstances.
