Hedeplored seetion- allam, and defended the Southern people from the charge of disloyalty to the TWnion, Garland also supported the bill, Vest op- posed the bill on the ground that Its passage would be an interference with State-rights, TM supported the bill, and took Vest to task for introducing his pecullar notions, Sena- tors Morgan and Maxey also favored tho measure, Tho former sald he wanted tho bill amended so that girls mighthe permitted to enter colleges established under the act of 1862, that thoy might be educated teclini- cally, Hoinnde along speech in support of this idea. ‘The Sennto, adjourned without “taking a vot on the measure, Snourp tho British Ministers move tho suspension of the Ilnbeas Corpus act for Treland on the assembling of- Parliament, the Parnellite members of the House will offer the most strenuous and persistent oppo- sition. ‘hoy are determined to opposo the suspension by overy means which tholr in- genuity may suggest, and Hvely tlmes may be looked for, ‘The HMome-Rule members number sixty-three, and.any of thom who dares to shirk responsibility or acts against tho Parneilites prepares tho way for political suicide, ‘There may be some who have no hopes In the future who will act with the Government, but It issafe to say that ot least fifty of the Irish mombers will unite to ob- struct the passage of any coercive legislation, | and this number well led will make a long and bitter fight.

An Aus- trian Journal stated some time ago that Rudolph had ordered the furniture for his new home from Varis, The Vienne Alder- men became wroth at hearing this, and ap- polnted 2 committes to investigate the truth of the report, Some of them in supporting the resolution took occasion to comment on the extravagance of the Royal family. ‘Tho Investigation showed that the reports of ex- travagance and that the Prince had patron- ized Paris nt the expenso. of Vienna wero untrue.
