GLAD TO GET TRUTH.
English Popers Know Thrt They Haue Been
ImposedOn.

ImposedOn.
London, July 28.-The cabinet has de-
cided that the only possible course to be
taken in order to secure the passage of
the evicted tenants bill IS a summary ap-
piication of closure. Simple as the bill is
hundreds of amendments have been filed
to each clause. The conservatives have
contributed the most of these, but the
Parnellite members have submitted some
drastic proposals, which will involve a long
debate if the ministry allows them to be
discussed. For instance. Mr.. John J. Clan
cy wants to give the arbitrators under the
bill power to make unlimited grant to a
reinstated tenant for the purpose of rebuild
ing his house, sowing his crops, purchasing
stock, etc, and William Redmond has an
amendment which proposes that planter
tenant refusing to give up his holding shall
| pay compensation to the evicted tenant,
| under the act of 1870 Pr1l'ooe time
.nr.It Tor each clause with final closure of
the committee stage on August 9TH. This
programme cOntemplaleS a division on the
third reading of the bill on August 11th
with a remorseless use of the guillotine to
bring it about.
This throttlng of debate will undoubted-
~ be held by the peers as an additional
justification of the rejection OF the bill by
the house of lords.

The Macon, Ga, correspondent of The
Spectator sends to that paper a denial from
Governor Northen of story of the lynch
ing and faying of negro in that state,
and in the course of the denial Governor
Northen writes:
Il am thoroughly Disguised with the
course of the English papers. L am salts

To this The Spectator answers: These
stories and other tales of woman being
rolled in a barrel bristling with nails, ne
gro children being lynched for trivial Of
lenses etc. come from American CORE
spondents, who are supplying falsehoods to
the English press for the sake of obtain
ing a few dollars. The Spectator adds:
I'VE are glad to get reliable contradic-
ton of such stories"

the English and Irish press upon the recent
visit of Pugilst Corbett to Ballinrobe,
where he gave a performance in aid OF a
chapel, in course of erection there, have
elected a letter from Michael Davtt The

was not pugilistic but theatrical, and was
conducted by the same company that per-
formed with Mr. Corbett in the Drury Lane

town which was the birthplace Of his
father.
