rested-Notice of Amendments to
Mr.. Smiths Motion on the Parnen
Report.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-In the House of Com
mons tonight Mr.. Morley gave notice that
he would move as an amendment TO W. II.
Smiths motion that the House adopt the
Parnell report, that the House reprobates
charges Of gravest and most obvious false
hood, based upon calumny, that have been
made against members of the House, and
while expressing its satisfaction at the ex-
posure made of evil doers regrets the wrong
inflicted, and the suffering and loss endured
through those acts of fragrant iniquity.
Sir Charles Edward Lewis, member for
Antrim, gave notice that he would move
that the House deplores that Messrs. Dillon
and OBrien aud seven other members have.
by an official commission, been declared
parties TO a treas)nable conspiracy; that
Mr.. Parnell and many others have been de-
clared parties TO criminal conspiracy,
and that the House finds the conduct OF
such members deserving of severe condem-
nation.
NIOLENCE AT CLONG OREH.
Mr.. Sexton moved TO adjourn. His pur.
pose was TO call the attention of the House
to the illegal violence used by Irish execu-
tives, during the Clongorey evictions. In
the dead of night body of emergency
mon, assisted by body of armed police,
burned a house over the heads of
tenants to be evicted, making many
families homeless, while charitable neigh
bors who endeavored TO provide shelter
for the victims were roughly assailed, polios
marching to farm where huts were in
course of erection, and arresting workmen
in gross violation of the law. Another
lawless outrage of the police was their
breaking into tenants houses and arresting
seventeen workmen. Could police break
into houses for the purpose of making
arrests except upon charge of felonyi
What was the charge against these work.

A PRIEST IMPRISONED.
Father Kinsela, who had tried to protect
them, had been sent to prison by COM
plaisant magistrate for opposing the illegal
command OF police officer. Ali Of which
proved once again that ireland was not
governed by law, but was ruled by horde
Of unscrupulous instruments Of practically
alb b3olute minister.
Secretary Balfour denied that the police
had destroyed the property of the tenants.
Mr.. Sexton, he said, appeared to think
that evicted persons should be allowed to
violate the law with impunity Poverty
might excuse much. but it could not excuse
organized and wholesale lawlessness. The
men evicted at Clongorey were, however,
rich enough to subscribe to the plan of
campaign. They were rich enough to
subscribe to offers TO a land agent
of certain payment on condition
that their friends were let out OF prison.

the use Of violent methods Of eviction; yet,
IL it was once admitted that the law might
be defied whenever resistance was backed
by powerful conspiracy, a most injurious
blow would be struck at the order and pros
perity of Ireland. [Cheers1
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES IGNORED.
Sir Charles Russell maintained that the
government procedure IN Ireland consti-
tuted system that could not long stand
beside that OF a country governed according
to constitutional principles. LHeari Hearll
The proceedings at ClongSrey presented an
instance where tho police measures were
purely arbitrary, without either legal
or moral Justification. The despotisn
Of Secretary Balfour directly endangered
the peace OF the country. The House
should remember the case OF Clongorey as
another instance OF how Secretary Balfour
always stood by the police in enforcing the
law, however brutal their conduct or how
ever great their interference with the rights
and liberty OF others. [Cheers.1
The House voted against the motion to
adjourn by 1876 to 154.
MORLEY DENIES BARGAIN.
There is a great deal of agitation In par
liamentary circles over the allegation made
by Mr.. Chamberlain in a letter to the
Times that the Gladstone party has made
bargain with the Parnell party to the
prejudice of undenominationai education:
agreeing to abandon opposition to Catholic
schools for Irish support on other :hings.
Mr.. Morley has been interviewed on tue
subject, and he denies that there Is any
such compact. He declares that he has
never spoken on the subject to any member
of the Parnell party.
THE TALK OF A BARGAIN.
Mr.. Sexton, interviewed ii regard TO Mr..
Chamberlain's charge of bargain with the
Irish party, echoes the explicit denial of
Mr.. Morley that there is such bargain.
Mr.. Chamberlain, however, persists in his
story and says that whether the compact
has or has not been written, it exists all the
same, and was publicly made; and that in
parliament Mr.. Morley will have to choose
between Catholics and non-conformists, and
that it is impossible to please both.
Mr. Gladstone is studying the report OF
the Parnell commission. He is expected to
make q brilliant speech upon it in the
course of the debate on Mr.. Smiths motion
that the House accept and approve the
report.
Mr.. McInerny, editor Of the Limerick
Leader, has been sentenced TO imprison-
ment for one month for pub fishing report
