THE ScOTcH-IRIsH CON0REss.-lt is,
perhaps. not literally scientific to speak
n the scotch Irish race" The people
called such have never been strictly
differentiated from others of kindred
descent. Their history Was never
written and their chronological origin has
not been clearly traced That there was
commingling Of Scotch and Irish Gets
IN the north Of Ireland is well known.
That their descendants aitcrwari
occupied part of Scotland ia also estab-
lished. but beyond this little can be
definitely stated
The people called Scoich-Irish. how
ever. have played a very important part
I'm the progress 81 civilization. They
have cmigrated 10 every part 81 the
known world, and are remarkable for
their thrift. intelligence, and rugged man
hood. In America. especially, has their
influence been felt in marked degree,
not alone ia building up the institutions
of political government, but in cduca-
tiOnai. journalistic, and professional

negroes in the back districts Of Louisi-
ana in letter 10 the 74bHHc on Mon

for the slaughter until IL was reminded
that the contest for Senator Chandler $
seat is waxing hot ia New Hampshire,
and his rival claims 10 have secured a
majority of the Legislature. The flap

simply the willy Williams old trick for

Sorrn Cotton manufacturing seems,
AT the moment. TO be the principal form
assumed by industrial development at
the South. From al parts OF tie cotton
growing States come reports OF the
erection of new mills and the enlarge
mcnt of old ones The South already
has firm grasp on The manu-
fscfure of the cOarser varieties of
cotton goods II is stated that al least
- per cent of the brown goods made IN
the country are produced at Atlanta.
New England manufacturers seem JIM
clincd TO abandon the coarscr lines of
textiles entirely recognizing that the
advantages OF situation and labor, en-
loved by their Southern rivals cannot be
overcome
But the Souih IS not inclined 60 con
fine lis energies or devote lbs advantages
10 any restricted branch of this impor.
tant industry. Some OF the new cotton
manufacturing establishments viii prove
dangerous rivals TO the spinners of
Lowell and Fail River in departments
which the latter have considered pecu-
liarly their own.-hrchangc

PAHNELL.-A cable dispatch says that
the Pafnen commission resumed los sii-

taking the stand. said Lc desired 10 cor
rect that part of his evidence given on
Friday in relation 10 the statement made
by him in .he House of Commons con
corning the nOn-existence of secret sOcie-
ties in Ireland Upon referring 10 the
reports of the proceedings OF
the House of Commons he found that his
remarks, which had been quoted by At
t0ney- General " ebsier, referred partic-
ularlv 10 kibbonism, and not 20 secret
generally. His remarks.
therefore, were fairly accurate state
ment of the facts, as kibbonism at that
time practically did not exist IN Ireland.
QUAY AND THE PREsIDENr-Senat0r
Quay aud President Harrison have eyi-
IDENTIFY agreed To agree once more az

Senator and the President held long

when the Pennsylvania lett the White
House, it was anDOunced that
b. i. GilkesOn. of Pennsylvania,

having been arranged between the two
that GilkesOn should be made Solicitor
