THE Salisbury govern nent has not
only weakened on its local government
bill for England, Scotland and Wales, but
has abandoned its Irish land bill, falling
back upon the present land commission.
Salisbury has all along been much strong
or when he announces what he will not
do than when he frames constructive
legislation. Meantime the barriers OF
centuries are slowly tumbling down. Mr..
CRANE, a liberal unionist, tells the crowd
in Hyde park that he will vote against
the government rather than see the com
penaation clause of the local govern
ment bill become a law. A few weeks
ago Mr.. Gladstone was called an asso-
ciate of friends of sssassins; because he
dined at the same table with Parnell; bat
all England has this week seen dozens Of
tories standing with Mr.. Parnei upon She
platform at the opening OF the Irish ex-
hibition in London.

THE death of Marshal Edmond Lebeuf,
the incompetent war minister of Napol-
con III, may serve as reminder to the
restless factions of France that the
strength of an army does not always rest
upon generals certificate. "lf the war
should last two years we would not be
obliged TO buy even gaiter button for
our soldiers," was the marshals striking
reply to the emperor, when asked If the
French army was prepared for war with
Prussia. 1t was this breezy penchant
for show that had carried LebHuf to the
top round. He was mighty as military
oourtjer, but was nobody in the field.
The disasters of Wissembourg, Woerth
and Forbach sent the marshal to the rear
in disgrace. The FRENCH people we're
ready to tear him to pieces, and an official

THE New York Sun, in alluding TO the
departure of a company of negroes for
Liberia, recalls the fact that it '1s over
hundred wears since the movement was
begun in this country TO transport our
colored population to Africa, and three
quarters of century since the American
Colonization Society was formed for that
purpose. In the times of slavery there
were many thoughtful men who believed
that the only hope of ultimately e1tin-
gushing slavery in the United States
was through the gradual return of the
solored psople to the land of their ances-
tors. and the Federal Government at one
time promoted the scheme by an appro-
priation of 100000. Nearly 10000 peo-
pie were aided to emigrate to Liberia
before the war which ended in the aboli-
ton OF slavery; and that event has not
closed up the work of the Colonization
Society, for We occasionally hear of small
bodies of colored emigrsnts sailing
away under its auspices and aided 10y its
funds. But the. idea of transporting TO
Africa the 100000 of coIored people
now rooted in our soil has been abandon
ed even by the Colonization society

EBAsrus Snow, the Mormon apostle

men who contributed materially TO the

TO see in the rising generation of Latter

Of $3.50 about four months ago against q
colored man for groceries which he could
not collect, so he seized the mans horse

months in which the colored neighbor
could pay up or have the animal auc-

pired Tuesday and the horse was trotted
out to be sold to the highest bidder.
There was an immense crowd assembled
when the bids were opened. The SYM
patny of the people seemed TO be with
the colored delinquent, and the bidding
was lively, raising one cent at o time.
II kept right on unth it reached S2. IL,
and at this sum the horse was knocked
down to Roswell Brown. Then the
crowd chipped in enough to pay for the
horse and TO buy a bag Of meal, and they
