IRELAND. @LADSTONE’S POLICY. ‘Spectat Cabie. Lowpox, Nov. 27.—Cabinet Councils are concluded for the present. Mr. Gladstone ; has gone to Hawarden, his residence, Mr. | Forster has returned to Dublin, and the : other Ministers have dispersed. The situa- | tion is unchanged. Parliament meets the ; first week in January, unless events compel anearliersummons. Mr. Gladstone adheres steadfastly to bis Guildhall program. The present policy respecting coercion iy a policy of expectancy. It is certain that at what- ever cost the Government will apply to Par- Mament for further powers ii the necessity | forsuch is demonstrated, whether with or ! without the assent of Mr. Bright or Mr. Chamberlain, SIZ STAFFORD NORTHCOTE’S SPEECH yesterday clearly implies that the Conserva- tives intend to leave the Government to find itsown way out of the pendingrdifficulties. ‘The attitude of certain extreme Liberals is | much more. fmportant than Sir Stafford | Rortheote’s platitudes. It indicates a con- Yiction that they have carried their opposi- tion to coercion too far. The Spectator Row urges that a Dill be passed making intimidation to cause a breach of contract a penal offense, for which porsons | should be tried without 2 jury, adding that: | “ We cannot-trust juries to perceive such {n- timldation to be any worse than larceny or embezzlement, since this intimidation no- torously exists in a large part of Ireland.” This demand is equivalent to coercion in a very stringent form. THE MARQUIS OF HARTINGTON, Secretary of State for India, will address his constituents in Northeastern Lancashire in the course of next week, on which occasion | it is confidently and reasonably expected that the plans of the Gladstone Adminis- tration with regard to Ireland, as finally matured after much discussion, will be fore- shadowed. It is a curious fact that rents on the Duxe of Devonshire’s estates in Ireland (he holds 60,325 acres in Cork, Water- ford, and Tipperary) have been pald in full, this being almost the only property in the sister island of which as much can be sald. This fact, it is shrewdly suspected, may have helped not a little to convince Lord nn that coercive measures are not needed In Ireland, Less distinguished land- lords are, as a rule, offered renton the much- talked-of “Griffiths valuation,” and if they Tefuse that THEY GET NOTHING. The Duke of Devonshire is an absentee Tandlord, and cannot be said to be personally | popular, and hence it is supposed that the League must have issued secret orders to his tenants to pay up in full, a hypothesis which would explain fully the remarkable exception offered in his ‘case. ‘The League now absolutely controls Ire- lad, and the Government there is in abey- ance. The fact that three Cabinet meetings-j ave been held this week proves that, in spite of all the comforting assurances to the con- trary that have been made daily, very serious differences of opinion exist in the afinistry. It is, however, certain that the radical element 4s still predominant, and that the adoption of any repressive measures would be followed by the immediate resignation of Mr. Jone Bright and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, which would render a dissolution of Parliament almost Inevitable. TALK WITH GLADSTONE. An interview was had to-day with Mr. Gladstone on his return to London from the Cabinet Council held at Windsor. Mr. Glad- Stone said that it was decided in the Council that Parliament shall be called together on the 6th of January next It was afterwards agreed that early in the session Several measures shall be introduced intend- ed to greatly modify the present Irish land Jaws, and that no resort shall be had to ooer- clon until all other plans have failed, and the use of force has becume a matter of ab- aclute necessity to the preservation of order. COUETNEY’S SENTIMENTS. ‘To the Western Associated Press. Loxpos, Nov. 27—Leonard Henry Court- dey, one of the most advanced Liberal mem- bers of the House of Commons, addressing his constituents at Liskeard, said, if the reso- lution to forego asking for coercive powers ‘Was based on the opiniun of the Irish exec- utive, that they were unnecessary, he should bow to their more intimate acquaint- ance with the situation; but if it had been Come to because one or two persons of eml- Renee sitting at ease in London ‘(meaning ht and Chamberlain)*had registered a Yow under no cireumstances to acquiesce inrequiring stronger powers for governing he should say such resolution was ere superstitious adherence to principles Which could not command respect. If the vernment had decided to introduce an act ‘oprevent the carrying of arms and midnight Prowling he should have given them his wrong support. CABINET COUNCIL. Pramier Gladstone, Mr. Forster, Chief Sec- for Ireland, and Earl Spencer, Lord President of the Council, were at a Cabinet + Council at Windsor to~day. Tt was deelded to summon: Parliament to Meet on the 6th of January for the dispatch of business, THE IRISH LAND BILL. 1 Neus, tn its leader, says the new Irish aa Dill will be beyond question a genuine Dractical effort to settle the controversy. GRANVILLE’S VIEWS.

Sects! Cable. Loxpon, Nov. 27.—Lord Lansdowne’s let- ter, published to-day, though avojding re- crimination, convicts his aceusers of basing the main charges against him on testimony now proved untrustworthy. He refers the public to other points In the evidence given by himself and his ageut to the Royal Com- mission. His letter makes a deepimpression by itscalmness of tone and the conclusive- ness of its refutation. BOOTH. a Edwin Booth’s triumph as Richelieu, recognized and acclaimed by the press almost without exception on Monday, continued throughout the week. He has had large au- diences, constant applause, and frequent goat praises him, saying that ‘‘ Mr. Booth’s Amer- ican reputation is now first comprehensible.” . LITERARY. Much bitterness has been excited in some quarters by Lord Beaconsfield caricature of Thackeray, whom the great satirist’s admir- ers profess to Identify beneath the traits of | St. Barbe, the journalist in “ Edymion.” The uncomplimentary sketch is thought to be intended as the ex-Premier’s revenge for Thackeray's burlesque novel of * Cud- lingsby.” Gushy, the rival of whom St. Barbe is always talking disparagingly, is taken to be Dickens. Lord Beaconsfield will have another novel ready next year. It is said in quarters likely to be accurately informed that Lord Beac- onsfield has made up his mind never to ac- cept office again, no matter what may hap- pen. . ie " BURDETT courts. The statement is once more published to- day that the Baroness Burdett Coutts hes been married. The ceremony is positively declared to have taken place yesterday. Nevertheless the statement 1s not true. Certain business arrangements still form 8. serious obstacle, but both parties are intent on the match, and it will inevitably be carried out at no distant day. leanwhile Mr. Ashmead Bartlett, the groom-expectant, goes about assuring every- body that he is quite disinterested in the matter, and would marry the Baroness gladly even if shewere penniless. Naturally everybody believes hii. BITUALISTIC CLERGYMAN ARRESTED. To the Western Associated Press, Loypow, Nov. 27.—The Rev. Mr. Enright, recently declared by the Dean of the Court of Arches to be incompetent on account of continuing his Ritualistic practices despite the orders of the court suspending him from office, was arrested at Birmmgham to-day and taken to the County Jail at Warwick, TURKISH FUNDS. The rise in the Turkish fundsin London and Paris isowing toarumor that Rivers Wilson has accepted the mission to proceed to Constantinople and preside over an Inter national Commission for regulating the finances, FOREIGN RELATIONS. Lonpon, Nov. 27.—Lord Granville in a speech at Hanley, Staffordshire, after refer- ring to the successive phases of the Eastern question, said: ‘No new proposition rela- tive to Greece has been made since that of France, but itis impossible for the Greek question to remain without solution.” He gave the particulars of Epgland’s pro- posal to occupy Smyrna. Russia and Greece accepted the proposal, and Austria at first promised assistance, but afterwards de- clined to take any active part In the mari- time operations., France thereupon declared if Austria absented herself she also would be unable to join. Germany took the same course. Inthe meantime a ranfor reached Constantinople of the Smyrnan proposal, which acted as a stimulant to the Sultan, who categorically promised the surrender of Dulcigno. Earl Granville defended the European con- cert which, he said, exists at this moment, and he hoped it would long continue. Aus- tria, he said, has been most anxious for the settlement of the Dulcigno question. The relations between England and Russia were most friendly. Germany and Italy helped maintain the concert. He concluded by say- Ing the Government were not ashamed of their foreign policy, and would adhete to it, endeavoring to uphold the concert of Europe while retaining full liberty of judz- ment and action anong the nations of the world, eet: ‘WOOL, At the wool sales to-day 8,100 bales were sold, chiefly New Zealand, Victorian, and Cape. The bidding was spirited, and the opening rates were well sustained. x FRANCE, THE DE CISSEY SCANDAL. Paris, Nov. 27.—The National, of this city, says: The general impression pro- duced by the De Cissey libel suit is very un- favorable to Deputy Laisant, and when the Committee on Inquiry has been appointed several Deputies of the Left will probably protest against the proceedings. ML. Girardin, in La France, accuses Dep- uties Laisant and Lefaure of having dragged the Chamber of Deputies into a false position by the abuse of its confidence, and insists that Laisant and Lafaure ought to resign their seats as Deputies. At a-meeting of the Republican Union, Lelievre proposed a vote of censure upon Laisant, but the latter not being present the motion was abandoned. The scene in court during the trial of the libel suit was an index of the-acuteness to which the antagonism between the Communists and the Moderates has risen. THE JESUITS.

PUNISHED. . The trial of the suit brought by Gen. de Cissey has concluded. ‘fhe Court, after ad- mitting the extenuating circumstances, con- demned Laisant, editor, and Chauvin, man- ager, of Le Petit Parisien, to fines of 4,000 and 200 francs, respectively, and 8,000 francs damages, for which they are jointly respon- sible. They are also ordered to publish the judgment in ten newspapers. The same sentence was imposed upon Rochefort, edit- or, and De Pierse, manager, of L’Intranst- jeant. 9 SPECIE FOR NEW YORE..

But few of the sleeperson board the Oncle Joseph had time to rush on deck before the vessel sank. MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Rome, Nov. 27.—Not only is there talk of acoalition between the Right and the ex- treme Lett for the overthrow of the Ministry, but the possiblijty of a coalition of these parties for the construction of anew Ministry is seriously discnssed. IN THE DEPUTIES. Rome, Nov. 27.—The Chamber of Deputies to-day continued the discussion of the Cab- inet’s policy. Some Deputies proposed to adjourn the debate a month, but Cairoll, the Premier, insisted that the motions which had been presented be discussed immediately, so asto remove any ambiguity relative to the position of the Governinent, This course was agreed to. Romano regretted that the Chamber had entered upon the debate, be- cause its sole object was the overthrow of the Cabinet by a coalition vote. ‘The debate was adjourned until Sunday. THE ORIENT. NEWS FROM CHINA AND JAPAN. Saw Francisco, Nov, 27.—Arrived, the steamer City of Tokio, from Hong Kong, via Yokohama. Hone Kone, Oct. 30, via Shanghai, Oct. 29,—Affairs at Peking are still unsettled, and the different partiesat the Capital are anxious about the future of the country. Of the nat- ure and extent of the demands to be made by Russia, it is believed that Tsung Li Yamen is still ignorant. That territory will be asked for, in addition to a large money indemuity, is generally conceded. Corea and Formosa are mentioned in this connection. The re- port that the Chinese are desirous of settling matters by arbitration is perhaps correct, but it is stated that Russia will allow of no for eign intervention. : The Captain and some of the officers ofa British man-of-war, while recently sailing up the Yangtsze, had occasion to land near Chinghiang, and were surrounded by natives and pelted with stones. Yoxouama, Nov..9—The Sd inst., being the Mikado’s birthday, was observed as a general holiday throughout the Empire. A review of the Tokio garrison was held by his Majesty, and in the evening a reception took place at the palace. In a letter recently recelved from Corea It is stated that the leading members of the late embassy to Japan held a great council in the Capital on the 6th of October, at which up- ward of eighty high dignitaries of State were present. The subject discussed was the de- sirability or otherwise of restricting present intercourse between Japan and Corea. The result of.the meeting Is unknown. Thomas Leon, an American, was accident- ally shot and killed on the 5th inst., while cleaning a gun. He was buried with Masonic Tites. The United States flag-ship Richard left this port on the 7th inst, for a cruise to the’ South. Politically everything is quiet. The con- tinued low rate at which paver currency is quoted has a most paralyzing effect on trade, and it is stated that the Government has finally determined to contract a foreign loan. GERMANY. THE WAR ON THE JEWS. BERLIN, Nov. 27.—A great attempt is being made to excite the indignation of the students against the Jews by the Stoecker party. This is already beginning to have effect at Leipsic, where stormy meetings are held. INCENDIARY PLACARDS, The police have torn down placards in the southeastern quarters of the city directly In- citing the inhabitapts to the persecution of the Jews. NEW CALABAR, FEARFUL BUTCHERIES, New Yorks, Nov, 27.-A dispatch from Liverpool reports the outbreak of a horrible war at New Calabar, attended with fearful butcheries. TURKEY. PEACEFUL OCCUPATION.

CAMELS AND STORES CAPTURED, Lonvon, Nov. 27.—-A dispatch from Der- quez announces that the Tekke ‘furcomans have captured 400 camels laden with stores for the Russian army near Beurma, <a Vennor’s Predictions for December. Vennor sends to the Albany Argus his weather prediction for December as follows: “ December will, in all probubility, open with little snow, but tho weuther witi be cloudy, threatening snow-falls. There will probably be some snow from xbout the 4th of the month, With the second quarter of the month colder wenther will probably set In with falls of snow, but yond sleighing need not b& expected until after the middle of the month. There will be a spell of mild weyther about the 13th and lth. After a brief interval of itid weather, duri which more snow will fall, the third quarter o the month will probably see blustering and cold weather. The last quirter of the month will bring milder weather, but will terminate probu- bly with heavy snow-falls and stormy weather: in fuct, the heaviest snow-falls will be toward the end of the month. and snow blockades may be looked for, the snow-falls extending far to the southward, possibly us fur us Washington, with Very stormy weather around New York and Boston? re Presence of Mind in a Dog, New Brunswick (N.

NG On, Chief Features’ of President Hayes’ Forthcoming Mes- sage to Congress. [eee ete : < Most of It Devoted to a Revie tion. “of His President-Elect Garfield Enter- tained at the White House Yesterday. The Occasion Graced by the Presence of Many Polit- ical Celebrities. 3 Proposed Bill Providing for Two Additional Supreme Court Justices, The Fishery Negotiations Again Pro- posed by the British Gov- ernment. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, THE CHIEF FEATURES OF IT COMPLET ED. ‘Spectal Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, Wasirnatoy, D. C., Nov. 27.—The Prest- deut is taking rapid progress with his mes- sage, the chiet features of which have been completed. It is reported that he has tele- graphed to William Henry Smith to come here and make arrangements for the distri- bution of the message through the Associated Press, and that Mr. Smith will arrive here to-morrow. It has not yet been determined whether the message shall be printed or whether it shall be mauifolded and fur- nished to Congres3 and the press in that form. As nothing of special mo- ment has happencd during the year, and as it is well understood that the State paper will possess interest only in that it is Mr. Hayes’ political valedictory, it is diticult to ses why it is necessary.to send to Chicago to secure a sentinel to stand guard over it. Aconsiderable portion of the message is to be devoted to A BEVIEW OF THE ADMINISTRATION, particularly to the Southern policy. Some of the stalwarts believe that the President will not hesitate to indicate the point where- in the Southern leaders have been guilty of bad taith. Attention will be called to the fact that the country has again ea caped the ravages of the yelluw-fever, and the work of the National Board of Health will be approved. Notwithstanding the crit- icisms upon the Board, ths President consid- ers that it has been a very effective agency in the prevention of diseases. At the same time the President will recommend that means be taken to place the National Board of Health or some similar agency on a per manent basis. Recommendations will be made that the United States Murshals, from whow payment has been withhela for some years, shall be paid fur services which they have legally rendered, and there aresome In- dications that « sufficient number of Demo- crats WILL SUPPORT SUCH A POLICY to pass the appropriation. On the subject of finances, the message: will show that the President has not changed his views. As to the fisheries, the President will be able to report indic&tions of achange in the attitude of the British Government on this subject consequent upon the change in the British Cabinet, as Lord Granville is not disposed to make the Treaty of Washington and the pow- ers of the British Empire subordinate to the police regulations of the fishing vil- lnges on the Newfoundland coast. The President will probably an- nounce the successfii negotiation of atreaty with the Chinese Empire, and will State that the text of It will probably be sub- uiitted to the Senate soon after the holidays. Trescott, the Ambassador, can hardly reach San Francisco before Jan. L The propriety of making A NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH SPAIN will be referred to, atd uttention will be called to the great necessity of improving | commercial relations with the Spanish West India Islands. The portion of the message devoted to Mexico will treat of the proposed commercial relations vith that country, and of the railroad enterprises now iu contemplation between the United States and the City of Mexico, and will strongly recommend ther. ‘The President will indorse the position taken in the Secretary of the Treasury’s report relative to the proper means to be taken to redeem the obligations of the United States which will fall due néxt’ year, and will urge the necessity of the passage of A FUNDING Law. Among the minor recommenaations will be one that Congress provide sufliclent money to insure the complete publication of the rec- ords of the Rebellion. A much larger sum has been found necessary for that purpose than was at first antielpated. Attention | will be called to the necessity of such legislation respecting the United States Supreme Court’ as will relieve the Court and prevent the delay of justice and the possible oppression of suitors. The President still adheres to‘ the belief that the creation of additional Circtiit Judges would afford a complete remedy. ‘‘The President agrees with the Secretary of the Interior in the belief that mounted Indian auxiliaries to be put under the control of the army would be of great service as a means of 7 KEEPING THE INDIANS O THEIR RESERVA- and of preserving the peace. The Admin[s- ! tration will claim much credit fur its suc- cess in the education of Indian youth at the |” Hamptou Normal Institute in Virginia and in Carlisle Barricks, Pennsylvania, There will be an earnest recommendation that Con- gress passa Dill for protection of timber upon the public domain. The President will again call the attention ‘of Congress to the Potomac River and its banks fronting Wash- ington City, especially in the point of view of local and Natioml health. It has been the desire of the President that the improvement of the river-front should be one of the move- ments of his Admixistration. He will urge Congress to make tafticient appropriation to permenently guard against the danger to the public health incident to the: present condi- ton of the river-frost. He considers it , OF VITAL IMPORTANCE to the health ot the residents of the Natimal Capital, both temporary and permanent, that the low lands in front of the city now sub- ject to tidal overflowshall be reclaimed. In their present condition they obstruct the sewerage of the city,are the fruitful source of the material poison, and are injurious 10 navigation. ‘The President and Secretary cf the Treasury are understood to have hada conference as to the-nature of the recom mendation on the tariffsubject, if any are to be contained in the message, and are reported to have nearly come toithe conclusion that & -1s not advisable to make‘any recommenda: tion in favor of a revision of the tariff, in view of the fact that one portion of the cam- paign was conducted on tha part of the Re- publicans on a high vrotection basis. GEN. GARFIELD. HE WILL RETURN TO MENTOR ON MONDAY. Special Dispatch to Tht Citeago Tribune, Wasutnoton, D. C., Nor.i27.—Gen. Gar- field has been very bugy:st4e8 his arrival in Washington.

Judge Sheila- barwer, Private Secretary Rogers, and Maj. Swain. NO WINE WAS SERVED AT THE TABLES, in accordance with the White House custom under the management of Mrs. Hayes. At this dinner-party the elaborate and costly new White House china, manufactured in France from the designs of Theodore R. Davis, of Harper's Weekly, was used for the first time, and attracted great admiration. Gen, Gartield is a special friend of Theodore B, Davis, the designer. A committee of the National Veteran Club, of this city, called upon Gen. Garfield, and, after tendering the congratulations of their organization, stated that they were very anxious to tender the President-elect ASEKENADE AND FORMAL RECEPTION atan early date, After thanking the Com- mittee for their kindly considerations, Gen. Garfield said that, under the circumstances he would prefer that his present visit to the Capital should not be marked by uny formal demonstrations whatever: that upon his re- turn to the city next Murcn he would have no such objection to offer, but would be glad to sew every organization of this character in the city participating in the demonstration on that occasion. THE FISHERIES. RENEWAL OF NEGOTIATIONS BY THE BEIT- IsH GOVERNMENT. * Spectal Disputch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasutnotoy, D. C., Nov. 27.—Forther in- quiry develops the fact that the renewal ot diplomatic negotiations concerning the fish- erles geustion was begun by Lord Granville in behalf of Great Britain soon after the adjournment of Congress. It is supposed that the English Government was alarmed by the movement in this country to restore the duty on fish and fisn-olls, and took the first opportunity to prevent such legislation. As already stated in these dispatches, Gran- ville takes the ground that the rights of American fishermen obtained under treaty cannot be destroyed or abridged: by colo- nial legislation enacted either prior or subse- quent to the ratification of the treaty. This is directly opposed to the doctrine of Lord Salisbury, of Beaconsfield’s Adutlnistration, who held that legislation enacted before the treaty must control the provisions of the treaty. Load Granville also impliedly ad- tilts Britaiu’s Habtlity for the Fortune Bay and similar. outrages by proposing a Com- mission to: adjudicate upon them. A num- ber of new attacks have been made by pro- vineial fishermeu upon our fishing boats, and the question of damages is becoming more and more importaht. NOTES AND NEWS. THE SUPREME COURT.

Boston Journat, The Kurdish invasion of Persia, to which an occasional brief reference has been made in the cable dispatches, is an event of far more {mportance than the smail space given to it in the news of the day would indicate. Itisa strong religious and patriotic move- ment, which has for its object nothing less than the establishinent of an independent Kurdish Kingdom. The tribes engaged in it are nominally subjects of the Turkish Sultan, but their allegiance is weak, and was inter- rupted # year ago byarevolt, The Persian territory which they have overrun is largely populated by Kurds, and their hope is to | compel the Shah to cede to thei some of | these districts, within which they can estab- lish thelr Independence. The leader of the wovement is Shieku Obidullah, a chief of coimpianding qualities and of tiery energy, Wau derives added power froi the fact thas he holds high religious rank among. the Moslems, being regarded xs the third digni- tary of the Faith, and next in rank to the Sheriff of Mecca. ‘Phe Kurds look upon him as their Prophet, as well as their Prince, and they give him unfaltermg obedience. A year ago he attempted tw resist the Goveruor of Orcomiah on his way to collect the revenues in the Kurdish districts, and 1 this year he endeavored to ‘have those dis- | triets placed under his control, guaranteeang | their revenues tu the Persian Government. Both attempts failu, he declared war, and in_ his earlier movements he swept every- thing before him, levying contribuuions upon the Villages and’ ruthlesly destroying those in which he encountered resistance. His army moved in three detachments, nuinder- ing altogether not far from 15,000 en, made up in part of Turkish and in part of Persian Kurds. ‘They are armed with rifles, obtajued durmg the Turco-Russian war, and most of them are mounted ersia_ has made desperate eifurt to turn | back the invaders, hussying together all the troops which she could collect. About the 8th or 7th inst, the Kurds advanced against Oroomiah, 3,009 strong, Dut we.e met and de- ,feated by the Persian army which had oeen ‘assembled at Tavreez, and suffered consider- able loss. At last accounts they were en- caiped not many wiles distant from Orvom- fah, being apparently not seriously crippled by their repulse. If they should be success- ful in a second advance, the situation would be very grave, because Persia has no ilitary reserves, and no resources of any sort tw en- able her to oppose a prolunged resiscance. ‘There are two things connecied with this invasion which make tt especially important, One is the likelihood that it may becoine the occasion of international couplications, A very intelligent writer, connected with the Auerican mission at Orvowiab, and well in- formed both as to the spirit und the dimen- sions of tne movement, describes it as a new Eastern question of scarcely less umport- ance than the one which has so long engaxed European attention. It 13 reported it Persia bas already applied to Russia for assistance in repelling the invasion, and that Russia gave a favorable reply. But the Kurds are Turkish subjects, and the British Minister at Constantinople has urged the Porte to station u military guard along the Persian frontier to restrain the invaders. ‘The terms.of the Anglo-Turkisi Convention <—that mysterious decument which Lord Beaconstield produced with so much dram- atic effeet—bind England to assist Turkey in any peril which may menace ber dominion in Asia Minor. Should the combined insur- tection and invasion spread and the move- ment for the establishment of an independent Kurdistan gain ground, there might easily arise circumstances which would test the strength of the Anzlo-Turkish Convention. _ The other point of interest in conneciiod with this matter is the fact that Orvumial, the most Impurtant city at present threat ened, is the ceutral station of the Nestorian Mission. established many years ago by the Aierican Board, and now under the charge of the Presvyterian Board. The missionaries there are ina position of great peril, being between two fires,—menaced by Kurdish violence on the ong hand, aud exposed tu the distrust of the Persian population on the trang. relieving the Supreme Court of the pressure of busi ness it fs suzgested that a bill will be introduced authorizing the appvintment of two additional Justices, whose places in turn are not to be filled until the number of Jus- tices shall be reduced to nine. This would give the Courta full complement of active Justices (the present number nine), and - would puf two efficient Justices in the place of Messrs. Hunt and Clifford, who_ are never again expected to be able to sit upon the Bench, but who decline to retire. WILL STAY AT TOME.
