The Government steered through troubled waters toa successful conclusion. .A military yictory and diplomatic pretminence abroad, prosperity and a legislative triumph at }ome, excelled by far the tinsel and limelight of Lord Beaconsfield’s prearranged tableaux. ‘The indiscretion of the, House of Lords ander the guidance of Lord-Redesdale, and ftssubsequent subiission over the.

The experience of the sessions shows the practical vigor of the Radical party and the decadence of the Whigs.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 11.—The naval demonstration has been postponed for a few days, as the Ambassadors of the Powers recognize the good-will of the Porte and the difficulties besetting the surrender of Dulcigno, The Austrian and French Ambas- sadors pointed out to Abeddin Pasha, Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, the dangers for Turkey which might result from @ naval demonstration, and the consequent absolute necessity of: the surrender of Dulcigno. Russia favored immediate action against Turkey, but was induced by England to share the more moderate views of Austria, and accede to the postponement of the demonstration.

LIGHTHOUSE THROWN DOW NDON, Sept. 11,—A stone ithouse on te Sen point of Tanging Koelonge, on the Jet ~bet 3 THE TEST RACE. ‘The great 15¢-hour race between men and horses, the first,of the kind ever given, came to a successful end at 12 o'clock fast night, having béen begun at noon last Sunday. The Taco was originated by Dan O’Leary, who conceived that as the question of’ superiority between the human and equine families in 2 contest into which both endurance and speed eutaconspicuous figure -had long been a mooted one,-a race that would definitly. settle the matter would be of interest to the public generally. With thisend, in view, he pro- jected and carried “ont the contest which ended last evening in a victory for the prom- ising young pedestrian, Byrnes, over five good horses that started in against him a week ago, e " ‘The progress of the race from day to day has been fully described in these columns.: ‘As was expected, the horses kept a strong Jead for the first half of the journéy, and |* this fact served to badly discourage all the men, Byrnes included, but the latter was constantly cheered by his trainer, and finally pulled through. Last Tuesday night, how- ever, all the men regarded their case as a hopeless one, and were ready to quit right there, but finally‘coneluded. to pull along. two days more and then stop if their case looked no better. Before that time came Vint and others had itropped out, but Byrnes, Krohne, and Colston had closed a great pai of the gap opened -up by the equines, and, al- though still behind, had hopes of success. How well grounded these hopes “were was shown Friday afternoon, when Bathman’s } entry and Crockett collapsed completely, leaving only Betsy Baker and Rose of Texas. to represent the horses. By thistime Byrnes was on eyen terms with Betsy Baker, and continyed ;so_ until he left the track in the early hours of Saturday morning. ‘Yesterday, when Betsy Baker came upon the track, it was soon apnarent that the hara work of the previous day had taxed her pow- ers of endurance to the utmost, and that un- less Byrnes failed completely his winning was'a certainty. With this prospect before him, the young men went to work with renewed vigor, and kept ‘hard at work, in- creasing his lead at everyhour. When noon came, he had 542 miles to his credit—a re- markably good six days’ performance when the fact that the weather was not favorable is taken into consideration. Betsy Baker was afso constantly on the track, but, try as she might, could not overtake the man, and after an alldlay chase was forced to give it up asa bad job. About. 8-o’clock in the evenin; Byres retired to his tent, having at thal time a score of 575 miles to his credit, while the mare was fourteen miles behind, and also forced to leave the track. She came out again about 10.o’clock and walked slowly around the track, being wrapped in blankets from head to foot. ancy oe At this time the most exciting feature of the occasion was the race for fifth place he- tween Bathman’s entry and Crockett. Byrnes was certain of first money, Bets; Baker ‘of second, Rose of Texas. of thir and Colston of fourth, so that Crockett an the roan gelding had the fight for the fifth sition all to themselves. th horses were led around the track, and encouraged by shouts from their grooms and trainers. At 11 o’clack- Crockett was five laps behind Bathman’s entry, and from that_time to the close was unable. to gain: any. Byrnes kept steadily in his tent, coming out but: once, about 10:30 o’clock, when be made one cir- cuit of the track. At 12 o’clock the crowd gathered in‘ front of the scoring stand to witness the distribution of prizes, amount- ing altogether to $4,000. fr. W. W. O’Brien did the presenting. After — refe to the fair and honorable: manner in whic! the race had been conducted from beginning to end, Mr. O’Brien called Byrnes forward and presented him with two $1,000 bonds, shaking the yourtg man heartily by the hand. ‘The owner of Betsy Baker then came out and recelved $1,000, Krohne took $250, and Colston $i50. ‘The fifth prize, $100, was awarded to Bathman’s entry, but Jere Dunn entered a protest on account of foul riding, and was given until next Tuesday to produce his evidence. e ‘The crowd then dispersed, and the great race was over, the score being as follows: Betsy Baker.

LATE LOCAL ITEMS. ge" The alarm from Box 59 at 2:10 this morning was caused by fire breaking out once again in the large coffin factory of F. H. Hill & Co.

To ths Editor of The Chicago’ Tribune, Werrs, N. H., Sept..1.—I drove to this place from Canterbury this morning, taking an early start before the dew was off. the grass, and while,the mist half-veiled the hills. The road is delightful'in scenery, winding in and out through native forests, “past quiet old farm-houses, over the hills and along the valleys, with magnificent views of the distant mountains-from every eleva- tion. The route lies through Belmont, a small manufacturing village, devoted chiefly to the stocking industry. whose houses are as white as paint can make them, with blinds as green as the Isle of Erin. ‘Laconia is next brought into full view from the top of a long range of hills. It lies peacefully in a beau- tiful valley, on the shore of the River Winne- pesaukie, which at that point broadens into agreat bay. This also is @ manufacturing village; and a,mileagda half farther on is another village, which would be a suburb of Laconia if it were not a rivat manufacturing town. This is called Lake Village, and is situated on Little Bay, a broadmg of Winne- pesaukie River soon after it emerges from the famous lake of the same name. -From Lake Village the road rises and runs over a range of hills, and descends again as it ap- proaches.’ ' 2, i THE WEIBS. y ‘The Weirs has long been a mere station on the Boston, Concord & Montreal Railway, and the landing-place forlake-steamers which run to Wolfsboro and Centre Harbor, situ- ated across the lake, It must have been a very beautiful spot until two years ago, when some enterprising Yankees began to disfigure it by the erection of summer-hotels constructed of pine boards. It looks now very much like the City of Deadwood, in the Black Hills. Doubtless in‘its native state it possessed at least a poor ‘sod, but this has been worn away by the tramp of visitors, un- til the whole place has become -an ash-heap, resembling a State-Fair ground ont. of re- pair. The hotels are gaudy with paint and ghastly with whitewash; and the way to be comfortable and happy in them is to get out of them as quickly as. possible. Among the pines, beyond the range of travel, up the sides of the hills, there are Edens ‘of repose where tents might be pitched and a summer- Paradise improvised, But the view is mag- nificent. hen -you . plant your feet in a dust-heap, wait a moment for the smudge to subside, and then take in the view over the lake. You will forget that your shoes and stockings are utterly ruined, and perhaps make a movement of charmed sur- prise which will raise such a cloud of ‘dust as quickly to obscure the whole scene. Then you say Something wicked, and clos, your eyes, and—wait. . LAKE WINNEPESAURIE is twenty-two miles long, but its shores are extremely irregular, and it is dotted with an, island for every day in the year,—three hun- dred and sixty-five. From .the Weirs only a little patch up the lake is :visible. But it is as pretty a Dit of water as any man-ever id his eyé3 upon, and'itis set in aland- soaps of rare beauty,—hills and mountains. Red Mountain is hidden from view; but to the south there is Mt. Major, and in the northeast the Great Ossipee Range rises frandly. Lake Winnepesaukie is less cele- rated than Lake George, but a distin- gulshed ‘writer has drawn this comparison tween the two lakes, which is not to the disadvantage of the former: ‘That the internél and successive beauties of the Winnepesaukio strongly resemble, and nearly approach, thoselof Lake George, I can- not entertain a doubt. ‘That they exceod them, seems scarcely credible. . But the prospect from the bill at the head of Centro Harbor is much SUETIOE to that from Fort George,—a fact of which hardly anything could have con- yinced me except the testimony of my own eyes, The Winnepesaukie presonts a field of at least twice the oxtent. ‘The islands in view are more numerous, of finer forms, and more happi- Iyarranged, ‘Tho shores are not Inforior.. The expansion is far more magnificent; and the deur of the mountains, particularly of the reat Ossipee, can scarcely be rivaled. It is, then, on the western shore of this in- comparably beautiful lake that I write.- But what do I see as [raise my eyes? - A VAST CROWD of men, women, and children,—ten, or fif- teen, or twenty thousand people walking hither and thither in a thick dust-fog! The ‘Yankees, ever ready toturn an honest penny, and always cudgeling their brains for a device to make two pennies where they ought to make but one,—the New Hampshire Yankees have made of the Weirsa “summer-resort” for tired city-people, and a . camping- ground for. every Gescripiion of recreation and celebration in which the good people of the State indulge. The Methodists, Baptists, and Unitarians hold their camp-meetings here; the Christian Temperance Union meets here; the Adventists gather here to predict the early destruction of the earth and all that ublic assembles here once a year to fight its ttles o’er again.. The G. A. R. is here to- day, full to the brim of patrintic reminis- cences, and covered all over with dust and badges; and their wives and children, and their friends and neighbors, are here without badges, but in dust up to their ears. It is the great day’of the reunion, and Gen. George B. eClellan has promised tobe here. And it is believed that he will be here; although it is known that neither Gen. Butler nor Gen. Burnside will be heze, though their pres- ence is promised in the great posters which adorn all-the fences and the broadsides of all the hotels. Everybody is ANXIOUS TO SEE “LITTLE MAC,’? and accordingly at 2 o’clock the grand stand is faced by a great throng of people,—some say 25,000; not so many by half, perhaps, but enough to make an imposing assembly. Finelooking people they are, too. Most of the men are sunburned, and most of the women as brown as chestnuts; and among the latter there are many pretty maids. ‘They are ail a trifle inquisitive. They look you squarely in the face, and you know that they are making an fmpartial esti- mate of your character and capabilities. And, if they want a hint as an aid to an ac- | curate conclusion, they do not hesitate to cross-examnine you on the spot. Anxious to secure a slight advan the commonallly, I worked my way through the crowd, and introduged myself to the Grand Commander, who, by the way, hap- pened to be a journalist, and I told’ him I was connected with ‘THE Cux1caGo TRIBUNE, and that I should like a seat on the platform, on which to play reporter. He looked very tmauch surprised (I don’t think the press of the State had a single representative on the ground), and said, curtiy, “THERE'S A CHAIR.” Just then 2 benevolent-looking old gentle- man, who stood on the edge of the platform, two or three feet above the ground, said to me, “ May Ll help myself down by putting my hands on your shoulder?” “With all-my heart,” Isaid. When he stood safely upon terra’ firma, he said, rather proudly, I thought, “Aly legs are not quite so limber as they were eighty-four years ago.” It was my turn to show astonishment, for the old gentleman didn’t look’ over 60, upon my word. ‘Ast stood ack the ma of over four: Score, and re wi adniratio! an old jad: touched me on the elbow an : “What be ye goin’ to do with. that Book” ountin to the note-book in my hand, - Poke notes,” I said. “And will ye print them?” she inquired. “Yes,” re- plied;‘and the old lady evinced a degree of astonishment only equaled by that of the Grand-Commander journalist as he. pointed me to a chair. 7 I took my seat on the platform and began to scribble, whereupon several women in my neighborhood opened a dialogat my expense, in a tone >of voice intended for my ears;-and, as I paid no heed to it,. they raised their voices. They became. very facetious and funny, and I glanced in their airection, ex- + and the Grand Army of the Re- | over | pecting to see some girls of gawkyish aj pearance. But they were Indies-members of the first families,—as I might have in- ferred from the fact that they occupied seats of honor on the platform. THEY UAD NEVER BEFORE SEEN A RE- PORTER,— . that was all. Qne of the ladies thrust her parasol forward, remarking, “Til keep the sun off his neck.” Tlooked up gratefully, and she “snickered.” ‘The platform was oc- cupled chiefly by women, among them the wife of Scnator Blair. Amon eo few men I recognized. Col., Harriman. the veteran sol- dier. ex-Governor, and Republican cam- paiznerof the GranitState, Everybody knew im and ‘spoke to him, and he responded heartily, but witha touch of: that tone of vanit men. Heis a tail man, of a slight figure, with long gray hair combed curefully behind. his ears; and, as the waiting for the Demo- cratic hero of many projected great battles which were never fought, grew firesome, the handsome Colonel put ‘on his specs and pared.his nails. From this genteel employ- ‘ment he was roused by the boom of cannon, and the sound of martial music was heard in the distance. . . It was a trifle ludicrous to hear the band play “See the conquering hero ‘comes,” in connection with the arrival of Gen. McClel- Jan.

He wore a straw hat,and a striped blue- and-white shirt, and the regulation mustache and imperial, and looked very hot and dusty. Gen. McClellan is an inferior-looking man. His forehead is low, his eyes too near to- gether, his chin too short, and his mouth lacks firmness. Everybody, now knows that che has no decision of character; but every- body who knew him personally ought to have been able to predict his failure as a mil- itary man from scrutiny of his face. There is probably no place outside of a iunatic asylum, except in a community of Democrats, where an effort would now be made to lionize George B, McClellan, And the Democrats of New Hampshire will eater, Jengths in giving sympathy to the st Cause than any other Democrats in the country. There is a scrap of history which illustrates this trait of the New Hampshire Democracy. A few years ago they obtained control of the Government of the State, whereupon they enacted a law making it per- missive for towns to levy a tax to Bayt K to citizens the cost of substitutes they had pro- cured when drafted into the army raised to put down the Rebellion. The Town of Can- terbury, being incontrol of Democrats, levied such atax; and, in the course of as made in suppers of the measure, one citizen declared that the man who furnished a sub- stitute EXHIBITED AS MUCH COURAGE, as the man who himself went to the front with a’ musket in his hand. When the Re- publicans regained control of the State Gov- ernment, they promptly repealed the curious statute. Who doubts thatthe Democratic doughtaces of New Hampshire would sup- port the payment of Southern claims and of pensions to Rebel soldiers? ‘ Of course the Democrats in the crowd were bound to make the most of the General who had more tendencies for the South and moe love for the Democratic party than affection for the Nation and its flag. Accordingly they howledand cheered so vociferously that their idol couldn’t beheard ten feet from the stand. He expressed his satisfaction at being resent, and said 1 New Hampshire and lew Jersey stood side by side during the War, and that they now stand side by side in the generous rivalry of business enterprise, This was evidently the end of his prepared speech, or he forgot the rest, for he stumbled on disconnectedly; and fortunately the jubilant Democrats soon drowned him out entirely, and he stopped. Then his worship- ers demanded to shake hands with him, and the program had to besuspended to accommo- date them, :The old Bourbon Democrats couldn’t have betrayed more delight over the General if he had actually SURRENDERED HIS WHOLE ARMY TO THE . REBELS 7 without strikinga blow. Butthehand-shaking matinée had to be stopned, and this was ac- complished by the announcement of an even- fier the pr hich was a long one, en the program, which was a long ont was carried out to’ the bitter end, notwith- standing the confusion and noise were inde- scribable, Gov. Nat Head, a bluff, hearty, good-natured-looking man, but a poorspeak- er, said a few words, and gave the crowd his fatherly benediction. Here an amusing epi- sode occurred. Gen. McMahon, a young- Jooking man with iron-gray hair and mus- tache, took the stand, and said it was the first time he had ever been called to follow Gen. McClellan when he had any doubts or misgivings as to the result, Considering that. “Little Mac” always had doubts and mis- givings on every subject, and never won a battle, the crowd ‘had grave doubts as to what the speaker meant. Gen. Griffin, of Keene, made an excellent speech, but Iam the only person who heard it, ‘and I don’t in- tend to report it. s COL, HARRIMAN ‘ then took the stand, and the audience grew still. ‘He has a splendid voice, andis familiar with the arts of oratory. He made_a speech. for the Nation with a big N. fle’ briety and. graphically sketched the history of the War, from the firmg on Sumter, and the patriotic resent- ment which it evoKed, to the final victor Appomattox. He concluded with a brilliant picture of the future of the Nation. the delivery of this brief but spirited oration there was almost perfect atterition, and the speaker was greeted with thunders of ap- Dlause. Then there were more speeches by, ex-Governors and Generals, and a poem by one Gay, of Concord, which opened in the style of “Hiawatha”;. gave a history of everything that has transpired since the In- diang sailed their. canoes over the: placid waters of Winnepesaukie, including the cainp-meetings; and wound up, after a hun- dred. stanzas, like a camp-meeting hymn. By this time everybody wanted to go home; but the railway-management was execrabl and the departing trains wouldn’t go, an the crowd lingered, aud looked tired and wretched. All New Hampshire had had its holiday, and all New Hampshire wanted to go home and gossip about it.

Correspondence New York Times, Dustrx, Aug. 28—There is not in any of Charles Lever’s rollicking fiction of Irish Ufe. and character anything more thorou; racy of the soil than is to be found in the factg which bring toan end a remarkable chapter in the strange, eventful story of the Ireland of to- doy. It is the stirring story of the Kilburry eviction. The scene of this true tale of fe , in Ireland in this year of grace is Iafd, very appropriately, in a romantic Tipperary valley. Here dwelt ona large farm the Meagher family, of the respecta- ble farming class. Representatives of this fam- ily had been in the place for generations as ten- ants holding alease. Things went on comforta- bly with them until the bard times came. The rent fell into arrears year by was pressing for bis money; the tenant couldn’ or wouldn't give it to him; then the landiord wanted his land, and this tho tenant resolutely: refused to yield. Now # fierce struggle com- menced for the possession of the land. The owner had the power of the law on bis side, and the tenant bad popular sympathy and practi- calsupporton his. The landlord brought his forces on the ground in the shape of the Sherif, bailiffs; and police. The ‘tenant gurrson: bis house with neighbors, and barricuded {t go securely that the small legal force durst not at- tempt to take the place by storm. The Sherift discreetly retired from the field. The Kiiburry contest bad now attracted the attention of ths landlords and tenants throughout the country. ‘It was remarded a3'a test case, and according’ was watched with excited interest by the twa classes, now face to face in open war. Here was a landlord who couldn't get either his rent or his land; here was a tenant who defied the law and the landlord. A second descent was made on the tenant's house, in the rich vale under the shadow of Sheveuamon. This time a powerful torce of police invested the place, and a resident magis- e Out with the alot act in his pocket. ‘The garrison in the house was likewise n largo. @ determined crowd of men and was there, armed with ‘ail pons, from a revolver to = rolling-pin. and for the purpose ce narrate @ enemy thers was a large supply o} water ou the premises. The Shari! knocked ae the door and demanded possession in the name ofher Most gracious majesty Queen Victoris. A shower of boiling water from an up; window answered him in the negative inavery practical fashion. Then the resident Ma; ate rode up to the fortress, with the Riot hand, ready for roading, and called upon the garrison to surrender or take the con- sequences, which he warned them would be serious. The gurrison, represented by a young in a flannel jacket, appeared as said something unparlia- mentary about the Riot act, told the ne trate.to take the place iene was able. Two parties, composed of men of the Royal Irish Constabulary. were told off to attempt to effect an entrance through the win- dows, front and rear, while the main body of the forces battered at the doors with the butts of hi ing parties found it hot work between boiling ‘water. and bludgeons and pitchforks, pokers, scythes, and reap- ing-hooks, A dozen Constadies touk a’ Idi Jadder, and, rushing at the ball door wi itasa battering ram made 4 breach in the outworks through which the Jovaaing force swarmed. The gurrison retreated u; and made a stand on the frst landing; mn from this, thoy retreated to the next landing, and there made another obstinate stand. By this ‘time one of the scaling parties succeeded in en- tering through a back window, and the end of the fight was that the garrison was overpowered and made preonsrs: of war, They wore hand- cutfed and led away captives. Now, the indignation meetings setin. Fierce demonstrations were held in the neighborhood, at which a solemn vow was made that the farm from which Meagher was evicted should be al- lowed to lic waste until he was restored ta possession. It wus thoroughly understood that the man who would take the farm, or work upon it in any way, for the benefit of the landlord or of himself, would do s0-at tho risk of his life. No man took that risk. Aa soon as Mt er, his wife, and his retainers were liberated on buil to take their trial at the ensuing Assizes, a band of masked mete armed, accompanied him to his old home a night: expelled the care-taker who was put in chi by the landlord, having previousl sworn him not to undertake that sort of wor! any more, and reinstated Meazher in posses- aion, swearing him to hold tt against alt comers. Here, now, was the lundlord exactly in the position in'which he found himself que commencement of hoatilities.. Again the land- lord put bray legal mackie os forks for ene: Tpose of in “expel je ten~ ane Blood was up to fever beat on both sides now. The farm-house was -put in #8. con~ dition, within and without; to resist a pro~ longed siege; it was amply provisioned, and was garrison by a band of braves who threw themselves, heart und soul, into the work. ‘The crops on the tarm were now ripe: needed cutting. One bright moonlight night 2 swarm of (prestauy. came on the ground, and nextday, asif by magic, that farm was bure; the crops had been cut down by hundreds of reaping~ hooks and scythes, and carried away to neighbor~ ing barns. ‘This extraordinary harvesting feat was, of course, accomplished in the interest of the tenant who was fighting bis landlord. Ita novelist were writing on imaginary inct- dents like these, he would find it absolutely a to wind up witha iy. There wouldn't seem to be any other natural way out of it, Ifhehad a Nterary daring to make all these desperate doings end up not in fierce and fatal fight for that farm, but ina jolly drinking bouton the spot by the contend! forces, at which the landlord and the She gistrute and the police were * toasted” in champagne, he would surely be congumed by the critics tor constructing an out~ rageousty improbable dénouement. Yet this, and much more, was what really did fact, Itcame aboutin this way: Throu; instrumentality of the friends of landlord and tenant, a treaty of peace was signed on the fol- lowing terms: One of the two years’ rent due by the tenant to be forgiven; the annual rent of the farm to be permanently reduced from 4812 to £400 per annum; the landlord to expend. £300 on such improvements in drainage as the tenant may determine on, The tenant appears: to have the better end of the compact, which, probably, the landiord was induced to accept om the principle of “anything for a quiet life." ‘The last chapter in this remarkable drama is the strange one. ‘The scencis laid in the same farm-house in the rich Tipperary Valley.
