Misfortune to Senator ingalls,.

The elegant residence Of Senator Ingalls,,

on the 18th, supposed to have been lett in
q pile OF shavings left by carhenters. A
Washington special says: Senator ingalls,

s~ociates on account of the destruction OF
his home and valuable library. The
structure was begun by him TWEEN.
ty years ago, and by successive
improvements and additions had be-.
come one OF the largest in the state. 1t
was in more than the ordinary sense the
home OF the senator and his family. His
library was one OF the largest west OF the
Mississippi river, and was especially rich
in political literature. The house also con.
tanned many pictures, wearing apparel and
priceless momsntoes OF the living and the
dead. The structure was inadequately in
sured, and the senator's loss is estimated
at $40, 900 over and above the insurance

accumulations. {

Result of the DIVISION Vote.

Gov. Church of Dakota issued q procla-
nation as to the result OF the November
election on division. The law authorizing
the vote required each country to make q
certificate OF the returns to the governor.
These returns were not all received till the
10th inst. which explains the delay OF
the governors action. The proclama.
ton shows 81, 7S4 votes cast for di.
vision and 32,913 against. The dis

made to the secretary is explained par.

the three disputed precincts in Minot were

In the last number Of the New
Princeton Review DR.. John Hall dis.
cnsses the proposed Protestant union,
a plan for which has been put forth
by the Episcopalians. He thinks the
scheme impracticable, as the 1OO,27e
congregations OF the other Protestant
trinitarian denominations would not
agree to absorption in the Episcopal
denomination, which numbers only
3,lO9 congregations, on any terms
agreeable to the latter.

Speech by the British Premier.

Lord Salisbury, speaking in Liverpool,
said the Gladstonians relied upon the o n
viction that Ireland was ungovernable,
and directed their policy toward securing
the fulfllment OF that Imagination. Glad.
stone had said new crimes had been added
to the statute book. The highest legal
authorities had assured him (Salisbury)
act was q definite application OF law com.
mon to England and all countries where
law prevailed. Gladstone had prophesied
that the conservatives would eventually
givehome rule to Ireland, their defense OF
the union being insincere. Let Gladstone
consider the spirit Of the Unionists, many OF
whom sank every party and personal con-
sideration to preserve the country against
G~ladstonism. Never was the principle of
national union more sincerely held. The
Unionists were convinced that Ireland
would sooner or later become thoroughly
consolidated with Great Britain, and
peacefully and prosperously exist under the
same legislature and laws, paying the
same respect to law and in the
enjoyment OF equal liberty. Yacilla.
ton was the great crime of England
against Ireland. No governments
could be OF any avail unless it showed
that it could govern %resolutely. He de-
