P., the well-known Historian, novelist, and journalist, brings a serlous charge against Mr. Forster, the Irish Secretary, Mr. MeCarthy says that Forster knows quite well that neither Parnell nor any of the indicted Land-Leaguers can be convicted, and that the prosecution is to be carried on for effect merely, Mr. Stansfield, English Radical Member of Parilament, believes the bi whieh will be introduced Into Parliament by the Ministers will solve the Irlsh lond-tenure dificulty. David R. Plunkett, one of the ‘Tory members for Dub- lin University, has been calling Parnell and other Land-Leaguers hard numes, ‘The Land: Leaguers may say Mr. Plunkett has always been an oflee-hunter, a self-seeker, and a word-spouter, This Plunkett Is grandson of Grattan’s colleague, who advocated what Parnell and his friends are now advucating, —justice to the Irish people, Tun Rt-Rev. Dr. Keane, Roman Cath- oli¢c Bishop of the Diocese of Richmond, Va, hing set about In good earnest to du away with liquor-selling on Sundays by meinbers of his flack. He addressed a large meeting of the saloonkeepers of Richmond Sunday evening, pointing out that selling Nquor on the Lora’s Day was a violation of the commandments of God and the precepts of the Catholic Chureh; that it led to sin, shame, and erkjnes and that no good Catholic ought engage In such traffic on such a day, After the ad- dress some thirty satoonkeepers signed a pledge not to sell any Hquor on Sundays, and to encourage others to abstain from dving so. A committee was appointed to obtain the signatures of other dealers. Tur London Globe and other Tory journals are considerably exercised over the resolu- tlons of sympathy for Ireland passed by the Houss of Representatives last week on the motion of Congressman Calkins, of Indlana. They consider the action of the louse as an “unwarrantable finpertinence.” ‘hough why they should so consider it 1s not easy to see, Why should not the Congress of the United States protest against laws under which pauper immigrants are oblized to seck refuge in this country, and under which large numbers of our eltizens are obliged to pry yearly tribute to a set of cormorants called landlords 2 Arrrmrts to wreck tralus that opportuni- ty may be lind for plunder become alarmingly frequent of Inte. Tie Trinuxe referred to an attempt of this kind on the Wisconsin Central Road Sunday morning, This morning details are given of an attempt to wreck an express train on the Burlington & Quincy Road, about midnight Sunday, between Leland and Earlville.
