AT CLANGOREY.
Iordon. Feb 24-In the House of Commons
v, Morley gave notice that he would move, as
amendment TO Mr.. w. IL. Smiths motion that
A. House adopt the Parnel report, that the House
.on,ohatcs the charges of the gravcst and most
.h,.;ous falschood. based upon calumny, that have
Soon made against members of the House, and.
,bile expressing its satisfaction at the exposure
r.dc Of the evil-doers, regrets the wrong inflicted
I'D the suffering and loss endured through those
acts of fragrant iniquity
Cir Charles Edward Lewis. member for Antrim,
.ove notice that he would move that the House
ssnlores that Messrs Dillon and O'Brien and
soren other members have, by an official comms-
e;on been declared parties TO a reasonable con-
sri,acv: that Mr. Parnell and many others have
been declared parties 10 criminal conspiracy;
.rd that the House finds the conduct Of such
members deserving of severe condemnation.
Mr. Sexton moved to adjourn His purpose
was 70 call the attention of the House TO the
iueoal violence used by the Irish executive during
the Clangorey evictions. In the dead OF night
q body of emergency men. assisted by body of
armed police. burned the houses over the heads
of the tenants 10 be evicted making many families
homeless: while charitable neighbors who en-
doavored 10 provide shelter for the victims
rourbly assaied, the police marching TO the farm
where huts were in course of erection and arrest
inr the wOrkmcn. in gross violation of law.
Another lawless outrage of the police was their
breaking into tenants houses and arrcsting seven
teen workmen. Could the police break into
houses for the purpose of making arrests, except
upon charge of felony? What was the charge
against those workmen? Father KinSella, who
had tried to protect them, had been sent 10 prison
by complacent magistrate for opposing the
illegal command of a police officer. All Of which
nroved once again that Ireland was not governed
by law. but was ruled 10y horde of INSCRIPTIONS
instruments of practically absolute Minister
Mr. Balfour denied that the police had destroyed
The property Of tenants. Mr.. Sexton he said, ap-
peared 10 think that evictcd persons should be
allowed 10 violate the law with impunity. Pow
erty might excuse much, but il could not excuse
Organized and wholesale lawleSsncss. The men
evicted at ClanGorey were. however rich enough
10 subscribe 10 the Plan of Campaign. They were
rch enough to offer the land agent certain pay
ment on condition that their friends were let out
of prison. Certainly landlords should be sparing
in the use Of violent methods Of eviction yet, il
il was once admitted that the law might be dehed
whenever resistance was backed by powerful
conspiracy. a most injurious blow would be struck
at the order and prosperity of Ireland. Cheers
Sir Charles Russell maintained that the Gov
ernment procedure in Ireland constituted sys-
lem that could not long stand beside that OF
country governed according TO constitutional
principles {" Hear, hear. Tie proceedings 1t
IlangOTey presented an instance where the police
measures were purely arbitrary, without either
legal sanction or moral justification. Tie des-
potism of Mr.. iialiOur directly endangered the
reace of the country. The House should remem-
bed the case of ClangoTey as another instance OF
low Mr.. BalfOur always stood by tEe ponce IN
enforcing the law. however brutal their conduct,
or however great the interference with the rights
and the liberty of individuals. Cheers
The House voted agalnst the motion 10 adjourn
by 1876 u lj4. =,
There is a treat deal of agitation in Para-
Chamberlain i'm a letter 10 The Times hat the
Gladstone party has made a BARGAIN WIN the
Paruell party 10 the prejudice OF undenomlna-
tOnal education. agreeing 10 abandon opposition
10 Catholic schools for the Irish support on other
things.
Nj Morley las been interviewed on the sub
ject. and he denies that there IS any such COM
pact. He declares that he has never spoken on
the subject 10 any member Of the ParneH party
Nr Gladstone is studying the report OF the
Psrnell Commission. He Is expected 10 make
brilliant speech upon il in the course Of the de-
bate on Mr Smiths motion that the House ac-
cept and approve the report.
Mr. sexton. interviewed in regard 10 Mr.. Cham
berain's charge Of bargain with the Irish parity
echoes the explicit denial of Mr.. Morley, 10 the
effect that there is no such bargain. Mr Cham
terlain however. persists in his story and says
that. whether the compact has or has not hccn
written il exists al the same, and was probably
made, and that in Parliament Mr.. Morley VIII
have 10 choose between the Catholics and m"
Nr~"onforniS Is and that il is impossible to please
both.
