PARNELLs FxONERATIoN.
Archbishop Walsh estifiss in Behalf
of the League.

LONDON, May 0.-Archbishop Walsh con-
commission to-day. Ha testified that facts
that had come to his knowledge have proved
tn t the league tended to diminish crime.
There had been gradual decadence in { %
secret societies of Ireland sinc5 1866. He
was aware that tae league had advised
tena Is not TO enter the land court after the
PASSAGE of the act establishing that court
in 1881. Subsequent events had justified
that advic'. He only knew Of ore instance
where the league had been indiscrete. This
indiscretion consisted of the passage OF
resolution by branch of the league to pub
lish in each district list Of persons not
members of the league. He protested
against tine action and the publication of
the list was thereupon abandoned. AS the
league spread the secret societies vanished.
The people lea ned to prefer open parlia-
men ary action I'd to dislike secrecy.
Throughout his diocese case OF boycotting
had been few, although the league was
strong in that district.
THE ONLY BOYCOTT ExcvsABLE.
The only sense, the archbishop sud- In
which boyco ting ought to be tolera ed
came under the name Of exclusive dealing.
Anything ks intimidation was reprehen-
sible. Memb RS of the league held that boy
cObtlnR Kept the cou ltry tre9 from out
RACES. The witness did not approve of re-
fusing to sci the necesSarie' of life to
man under boycott. He understood the
plan Of campaign TO be purely voluntary
combination and that it did not imply boy
cotting.
Mr.. Atkinson, of the counsel for the
Times, here quoted from pastoral issued
by the archbishop in 1882, announcing tho
movement not to pay debts and forcihle re-
sistance to the law. Archbishop Walsh
said that the pastoral had been issued in
consequences of al increase in the number OF
sec, ct societies, owing to the disorganiza-
ton of the league under the imprisonment
its leaders, and while the people had been
driven TO despair by evictlors

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Mr Loblsy, clerk
of the house committee on elections of the
50th congress, is diligently at work arrang-
ing the printing and docketing papers re-
ceived in the contested election cases, which
will claim the attention of the commi tee
during the 51,t congress. These papers,
together with the exhibits IN 16 cases, which
have already been certified to the clerk of
the house, are very voluminous, requiring
no less than 259 packages to contain
them. OF the 16 cases on file
all but three come from southern
states. Indiana furnishes one, that of
Posey VS.. Parrott, from the First district;
Connecticut presents Cne, that of Seymour
vs. Miles from the Fourth district; and
Mar rvland adds her quota in the case of
Mudd VS.. Compton from the Fifth district.
VIRGINIA AND MISSISSIPPI.
Virginia and Mississippi each furnish
three cases, vi gina those of Waddell vs.
Wise in the Third Langston VS.. Venable in
the Fourth, and Bowan VS.. Buchanan in the
F fth; and Mississippi those Of Chalmers vs.
Morgan in the Secold, Bell VS.. Catchiags in
the Third and Kerhaghan VS.. Hoker in the

Langston VS. Venable will be opened on
Saturday. The papers are formerly opened
in the presence of the contestant and con-
testee after due notice has been given.
The papers in tho Waddel- Wise case will
be opened in a short time. They are very
bulky and the contestant estimates that
it will require a volume of 5000
printed pages to contain the testimony
taken Nothing is known of the course
which the committee will follow in dealing
with the A kansas case of Clayton VS.
Breckinridge, Mr.. Clayton having been
assassinated while the work of taking testi-
mony was in progress. No papers in the
case have been received by the clerk of tae
House. Altogether the WORK of the cleo
tions committee of the next House promises
to be very artuous, and it will take dill
gence on the part of the committee to dis
pose of all the cases before the termination
of the co gress.
