Special Cable. Paris, Feb. 26.—3r. Parnell has sent the following letter to Victor Hugo: “Papis, Feb, 24.—ILLUsTRIOCS Sm: The nobilty of heart, the deep sympathy with human suffering, and the exertions in favor of oppressed natonalities . which lave distinguished you throughout life encourage me to invoke your powerfnl advocacy in defense of the suffering Irish people. The question is not a sectarian question in its present aspect. It is a purely social question. It is the cause of 5,000,000 of \\'orkingm.en struggling for just- jee and for the right to live by their labor In their own land, against a small and privi- leged class, foreign in their origin, foreign in their aspirations, and supported in their iu- justices and tyranny by the force of a foreign naticn. What have been the results of the domination of thisctass? They are written in the history of recurring famines, DECIMAYING GENERATION AFTER GENERA- ; TION. No human words can paint the miseries and sufferines which have been witnessed even Dy the youngest among us. . Millions have been driven from their homes in despair, -Hundreds of thousands have perished miserably of ‘hunger in a land teem- Ing with food. Half of our population exist constantly on the verge of ZIamine, while 10,000 landlords,” many of whom havé never seen Ireland, riotin ex- jravagance and luxuryon the confiscated product of the people’s labor. It is against the system which has produced the evils that westruggle. 1t is to put an end ouce and forever to THIS DETESTABLE STATE OF SOCIETY that we appeal to the conscience of all good men, without distinetion of creeds, of party, or of nationality, to 2id usin shaming the Government of England to do justice to our people. To you, honored sir, who have lkmown how to awaken the sympathy of mankind for * Les Miserables,” we feel that we shall not appeal in vain when ive ask that your voice shall be raised in behelf of a brave but unfortunate nation. Accept, illustrious sir, the assurances of my high esteem. CHARLES STEWART PARNELL. O'KELLY PROTESTS. Ar. O’Kelly. who is here with Mr. Parnell, yesterday wrote a long letter to Archbishop McCabe defending the course taken by him- self and Mr. Parnell in the recent negotia- tions with the Parisian press, and protesting against the letters of men Jike Bellingham and Errington. In the letter he says: “XNeither Mr. Parnell nor mvself sought the alliance of any party in ¥rance. We have appealed to French pub- licists of all parties and all shades of opin- ion,” Nevertheless, in conversation with Mr. t was ascertained to-day that curi- vusly enough ncither he nor Mr. Parnell have yet secured the papers which are most infiuential in France. AX INTERVIEW WITIL THE BISHOP OF PARIS. AMr. Parnell and Mr. O’Kzlly had a long in- terview with the Cardinal Archbishop of Parisat the Episcopal Palace this morning. They were received with great courtes) The Archbishop appeared to take a lively interest in the state of Ireland, 1le earnestly counseled moderation, and deprecated any departure from legal agitation. Mr. Parnell se¢med satisfied with the result of the inter- view. THE SITCATION. Spectal Cahle. Loxpox, Feb. 26.—Private letters show cousiderable improvement in Ireland. * Boy- cotting 7 fails, the reign of terror is reduced 20 narrower liwmits, tenants are beginning to pay rents long withheld, while the bhold of the League on the peo- . ple is already loosened. Nothing more discredited Parnell than his adviees at the Clara meeting to evicted tenants to plow pasture-land. followed by his sudden retrac- tion in discovering that the act he advised was criminal. Notwithstanding this wee: suceess, the embarrassments of the Govern- ment thicken. The prospect of next week’s pusiness is extremely -confused, partly from Sladstoie’s absence, partly from tke doubt- lul operation of the new rules, and, partly from the known determination of the Irish embers to offer every possible obstruction to every form of business, whether Irish or not. FROM DEFERENCE TO THEIR RADICAL SUP- POLTERS, the Government intends to postpone the Arms bill. They find it necessary, also, to 1ake up a vortion of the army estimates on Monday, with a view of the renewal of “the Mutiny act, winch expires at the énd of March. The Irish intend to avail themselves of the old forms ot the touse the moment “urgency” ceases, in order to prevent the progress of the esti- mates. ‘The action is purely vindictive. The Tories also bégin to comvlain of the nost- ponement of tho Arms bill, alleging that they gave their support to the Goverument hitlierto on the understanding that this bill would follow the Coercion ene immediately. “Their proceedings on Friday showed a dispo- sition on the part of the Conservatives to em- ‘Darrags the Government unless the cocrcion program is carried out fully. MiL PARNELL'S POWER 1S COMPLETELY BEOKEX, and it Las been broken 'cmefly by his own infatuated ‘course. The English Radicals hsve and frrevocably thrown him over, and it s altogether probable that Mr. William Shaw, mem- ber for Cork County, will sogn be the acknowledeed leader of the entire Lrish party in the House of Commons, Mr. Par- nell’s second flight (it can be called nothing else) completes his downfall. Various ex- planations are offered for his departure, but the plain truth of the matter is that hedreads arrest. THE STRENGTH OF THE COMBINED LAND LEAGUE AND ULTRA RADICALS was shown on the final division on the third reading of the Coercion bill, when they could only iuster against that measure forty-six member in a House of 351 THE TRISH PEOPLE cannot fail to see therein the result of Mr. Parnell’s leadership. In the absence of any fresh disturbances in Ireland, the proposed- Anns bill will certainly be dropred, and the Land bill be introduced next week,— that is to say, if Mr. Gladstone hasby that time fully recovered from the consequences of his recent aceident. A much more serious contest will arise on this measure, as nearly the entire strength of the Con- servatives will be arrayed in opposition to it, reinforced by many old Whigs and the. Liberals wio are against any forcible inter- ference with the private rights of landlords. The introduction of this bill will be the be- ginning of a new and formidable agitation throughout the whole country. FOUGHT TO SOME PURPOSE. Speclal Cable, 3 Loxpox, Feb. 26.—The Coercion bill hav- ing passed the House of Commons last night, after occupying the attention of rar- liament during nearly two months, the Irish Obstructionists can congratulate themselves afterall on having delayed the obnoxious measure to some purpose. They have shorn a harsh law of someof its ter- rors, and no_inconsiderable part of its dura- tion. The Government, having pacified Mr. Forster by giving exceptional powers to the Irish Executive, is said to be disposed to use these powers sparingly. Possibly - it may be so, since the Government has hinted that If the improvement in the state of Ireland continues, Mr. Gladstone probably will not proceed with the Arms bill, his second measure for AAKING IRELAND TAPPY. People in Ireland seemn disposed to await pa- tiently Mr. Glapstone’s Land bill. The best advice to Irish people would be to so govern their actions as to avoid the neccessity of its application to them. As Mr. Cowen, the member for Newecastle, who proved bimself, with Mr. Labouchere, to be such a sterling friend of Ireland, said in a recent speech: *“Insurrection in Ireland would be made a criminal enterprise.” THREATENING BY CARLE. To the Western Associated Press. Loxpox, Feb. 26.—Sir Willlam Vernon Harcourt, Home Secretary, respived last evening a cablezram from John Devoy, of New York, saying he, the Secretary, shonld answer with his life for his language in the House of Commons referring to Devoy. PARNELL. Parnell telegraphs that he has had an in- terview with the Bishop of Paris, and was cordially received. OBSTRUCTION TO BE CONTINTED. The Standard says: The Irish members of the Commons intend, by prolonging dis- cussion, to prevent the War Secretary from moving the estimates. There is a strong im- pression that the Government will be una- ble to obtain supplies for the army without ‘proposing urgeney. . PARNELL'S WORK IN PARIS, Parnell’s appeal to Victor Hugo asks the author to use his pen in behalf of Ireland, alleging that it is a battle of 5,000,000 work- ingmen struggling for the right to live by their labor in their own land against a small, privileged class of Jandlords. JO'KELLY has written to Archibishop McCabe, defend- ing the course taken by himself and Parnell in the recent negotiations with the Parisian press, and protesting azainst the letters of men like Belilngham and Errington. Parnell was received to-day by the Archbishop of Paris, who counseled moderation. v THE FINANCIAL s:cxrjn:mny OF THE TREAS- ¥ RY intends to move in the Commons Tuesday for--a sessional order limiting the scope of amendments, which may be moved when supply is the first order of the day on Mon- day. Intheabsence of this order, it would be possible Monday for amendments to be moved on any subject. It is understood the Home-Rulers intend to avail themselves of this privileze to an exlent that precludes all hope of a vote for the number of men jn the army being taken, and even threatens to de- fer the statement of the Secretary of War. EVICTION. Donrry, Feb. 26.—Lord Annerly’s threat to evict all tenants on his Longford estates, and take into his own hands about one-third the entire county, has directed attention to the black shadow of eviction which is loom- ing over a vast number of farmers in Ire- land. The tenants may at present be divided into three classes: First, those who are will- ing to pay, but are afraid to; second, those who can pay but will not; third, those neither able mnor willing to pay. The first class are very numerous. ‘They already show signs, as Dillon says, of giving way. The second class, it is pre- sumed, will follow the example of the first, but in respect to the third class it is feared great difficulty will arise with those who caunot pay. UNDER THE COERCION BILL it will be impossible to resist eviction. The tactics which have worked so successfully heretofore will be utterly useless now, be- cause every person resisting a process-server or Bailiffl will be liable to arrest on the spot and imprisonment for eighteen months with- out trial. THE LAXD-LEAGUE’S MONEY, Donry, Feb. 26.—The amount of money invested by the Land League is considerably under £50,000, principally in American se- curities. A portion will be, placed in the French securities, but Gambetta’s hostility has caused complications in that direction. DEVOY'S TELEGRAM. Following is a copy of the cablegram sent by John Devoy to Harcourt, mentioned in the dispatches to-day: To the Home Sceretary, London : You say yon will stamp us out. Two ean play at tho game of “stamping out.”” The days when you can stamp out the Irish people are passed forever. Jons Devor. JORY DEVOY. - Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tridunc. NEW Yorw, Feb. 2.—The cable to-day states that Sir Willinm Vernon Harcourt, the British Home-Secretary, bad received a cablegram from John Devoy, of New York, saying that he (the Secretary) should answer with lis life for nis language in the House of Commons, referring to the author of the dispatch. THIS MAN DEVOY is an attaché of the Herald, and is a revolu- tionist of the most pronounced type. He was once imprisoned, and is now devoting Herald office, and especially in Hodnet’s, the headguarters for Boheiians here. Mr. Devoy said this evening: ** The cause of my dispateh was originally the speech of Mr. Forster in introducing the Coercion bill, “in which he said, speaking of the Irish Na- tionalists: *These people are all united on this question, and our ouly rem- ely is to strike terror into them.’ 1In reply to this, I made a speech in this city which was, I think, incorrectly reported. In }ime it reached London, and Sir William, in commenting upon it, said it was the' duty of the English people to stamp out such men as Davitt and Levoy and their many allies iu England and Ireland. Yesterday I cabled this dispateh inzeply., Ideny thatitwas a tureat” con- tinued, Mr. Devoy. *It is onlya warning, He mide the threat and I sents reply.” BRITISH NEWS. GLADSTONE’S CONDITION. - Spectal Cable. Loxvpox, Feb. 26.—The replles to the latest inquiries this afternoon report that Mr. Gladstone’s condition Is satisfactory, but his complete recovery is slower than was at first expected. Itisnow certain that he cannot reappear in the House on Monday, and perbaps not until Wednesday. Hisphysicians insist on the longest possible period of re- pose, saying privately that he showed evi- dence ,of great fatigue prior to the nccident, adding that, while' the loss of blood originally gave -relief to. his overtaxed system, the resultng Joss of ‘strength.imperatively démands time for re- covery. The evidences of widespread inter- est steadily pour in. The Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Louise, all the Am- bassadors, and numerous Liberal Associa- tions, as wellas ‘foreign statesmen and Sov- ereigns, have been telegraphing inquiries. o TIE DISEASED-PORK SCARE. - Sveclal Cadle. Loxvox, Feb. 26.—The scare ab out tri- chinz in American pork hasextended to most parts of England, and in the country districts paragraphs appear in the local papers setting forth the danger of eating any pork from the United States, even after 1t has been cooked :thoroughly. The provision deal- ers say that the demand has greatly diminished, and attempts have been made to induce the Government to prohibit the use of such provisions in the navy. An extract .from the receut report of the British Con- sul at Baltimore describing the rapid spread of trichinosis in your country has increased the alarm. American firms of good standing should lose no time in endeav- oring to protect their trade, or this country may follow the example of France, Austria, and Russia, which have forbidden all impor- tations of pork from the United States. BOOTH AND IRVING. Special Cable. Lospox, Feb. 26.—The announcement that Messrs. Booth and Irving will act together at the Lyceum in April, alternating the parts of Othello and lfago, is certainly the most unexpected, as it is the most satisfactory, an- nouncement that could be made to London playgoers. As Othello Mr. Booth has not inereased his London fame, nor was Mr. Irving’s delineation of the character of th Moor a particularly happy one. ¥ As Jago Mr. Booth has recently won un- bounded praise trom London crities and London seciety, while Mr. Irving, who earned some reputation in this character in the provinces, 11AS XOT YET BEEN JUDGED BY A LONDON AUDIENCE, Miss Ellen Terry will be Desdemona. It is_also possible that *‘ Venice Preserved” will be given, with Messrs. Irving and Booth as Pierre and Jafier and Miss Terry as Belvidera. Respecting MMr. Booth’s performances of Lear the press continue their. unanimous praise. The Theatre considers it his greatest intellectual success, and concludes: “Would, indeed, that he were a resident of England, giving to the stage the valuable influence of his study and authority.” THE SUPPLY BILLS. o the Western Associated Press. Loxpox, Feb. 26.—The Standard says: “The Irish members of the House of Com- mons intend by prolonged discussion to pre- vent the War Secretary from moving the army, navy, and eivil service estimates. ‘There is a strong impression that the Gov- ernment will e unable to obtain votes for the army without proposing urgency.”" i THE QUEEN SOLICITOUS FOR THE PREMIER. AMrs. Gladstone visited the Queen’s draw- ing-room yesterday. Her Majesty expressed the desire that Premier Giadstone would not endanger his complete recovery by too early returuing to Parliament. -DENIED. The News denies that Labouchere has be- come connected with the Pall 3full Gazctte. BOAT-RACE. ‘The University boat-race, between Oxford and Cambridge, takes place April 8 AMERICAN STOCKS. Loxpoy, Feb. The Economist this week says: “In American rallways New York, Ontario & Western declined 4, St Louis & San Francisco 3, St. Louis & San Franeisco preferred 5, Central Tacific and Ohio & Mississippi 2 each, Ohio & Mississippl preferred 514, and Erie preferred 3, but St. himself to agitating in the vicinity of the Louis Bridge preferred iq 4 higher.” AN ELECTION In East Cumberland to fill a Parliamentary vacancy caused by the death of Musgrave (Conservative), resulted in the choice of Howard (Liberal) over Lowther, Lord Beac-~ ousfield’s Chief Secretary for Ireland, 3,071 to 8,041, = . GERMANY. ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDE-ELECT. BERLIN, Feb. 26,—Princess Augusta Vie- toria, bride-elect of the eldest son of the Crown-Prince, arrived and was received by the Emperor yesterday. The streets are alinost jmpassable becfse of the crowds viewing the decorations. THE PUBLIC ENTRY, The bride-clect, accompanied by the Crown Princess Victoria, started on a public entry into the city at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The route fromr their garten to the Royal castle, about three fniles, was kept by a continuous double line, which as faras Brandenburg gate consisted of members of the various guilds; thence of students of the high- schools and academies, trade societies, and rifle clubs. The weather wasvery favorable, Stands containing 18,500 seats ere erccted along Under den Linden, and let at an average of 15 shillings a seat. They -were crowded, as were also the windows of houses, some of which wereletas high as £25. The procession consisted of six court carrlages escorfed by cavalry. Outside Bran- denburg gate the procession was received by the Governor, the Commandant, and Prefect of Police. A salute of seventy-two guns was fired on Parizer Platz. Burgomaster Forckenbeck welcomed the Princess Augusta in the name of the City of Berlin. The pro- cession was enthusiastically received at all points. The Ruyal castle was reached at 3 o’clock, i OX PARIZER PLATZ, Burgomaster Forckenbeck read an addréss wishing, on behalf of the citv, every blessing ana happiness from the marriage which the"| daughter of an ancient race of German Princes was about to contract. THE PRINCESS thanked the people from the bottom of her heart for the grand reception, saying that, in return for the love displayed for her in such a rich measure, she would seek henceforth to be regarded by the Berliners as entirely one of themselves. AT THE CASTLE, . the Crown Prince escorted tha bride up the stairs to the Swiss Iall, where she was wel- comed by the Royal.Princesses. She then vroceeded to the Brandenburg Chamber, where the Emperor and Empress, with their guests, awaited her. The murriage contract ‘was signed in the Chamber of Kurfurst, after which the Emperor, precedea by the Digni- taries, accompanied the bride to her aparl- ments. The illuminations to-night are uni- versal throughout the city, and joyous crowds paraded the street until « late hour. THE EMPEROR HAS ACCEPTED THE RESIG- NATION © . of Count von Eulenberg as Minister of the Interior. FRANCE. VICTOR HUGO'S FESTIVAL. Special Cable. Paris, Feb. 26.—The Victor Hugo festival may be said to have begun already. Excur- sionists front the provinces have been flock- ing to Paris all day. From morning .till evening the , poet has been beset by deputations eager to profit by the present unique opportunity - of interviewing, him. A delegation. of the Interna- tional Literary Association waited ‘on him this dfternoon at his house in the Avenue D'Eviau, and presented an address of congratulations. Victer Hugo returned thanks in a short specch. “I am much touched,” sald he, “by this tribute. In - myself I am nothing; or, if I am - any- thing, v is only because all my life long I have striven to do my duty. I thank you.” Victor Hugo entersupen his 80th year to-day, and it is not easy to under- stand why his 80th birthday is to be cele- brated to-morrow. i SOUTH AFRICA, THE BOEE WAT. . Lospox, Feb. 26,—A Natal dispatch says Pretoria can hold out six months. A BATTLE will probably occur at Lang’s Nek, where 8,000 Boers have improved Martini-Henry rifles and. & reserve reported at 20,000, armed with Smith & Wesson rifles. The English have less than 4,000 troops, but reinforee- ments are being pushed forward with all pos- sible speed. . TROOPS ORDERED FROM INDIA.

THE EAST. BELIEF THAT WAR BETWEEN GREECE AND TURKEY 1S DIMINENT. Special Cable. 3 Loxpox, Feb. 25.—In diplomatic circles here, as upon the Coutlnent generally, the belief is strong thata warbetiween Greece and Turkey is imminent. The present British Ministry, after encouraging Greece to the very verge of resistance, now advises the Hellenes to have patience and wait, and it is not surprising that they deem the first advice the best. Active preparations for hostilities are being made on both sides. . GOOD ADVICE. To the Western Assoclated Press, ATmENs, Feb. 26—The European repre- sentatives have separately interviewed Pre- mier Counmoundurous, counselling Greece to refrain from disturbing the peace. .

Iam ns free as man may be, And so I'll stay till Death shall get me; If I've no wife, [ have no strife, And naughtto hinder or to fret me.

New York Sun, “Isthis a fancy pleturer” asked a statd old woman, opening her purse to buy a photograph of Lotta, in the character of a mischievous, romping school girl. . “No, ma'am,” replird the girl behind the counter, “it’s the.picturc of an actress.” ‘The woman couldn’t have dropped the card quicker if it bad been red-hot. “Here is a very pretty onc that isn't an act- ress,” the salesgirl continued. * Who ts she?” “Idon't know; but she’s not on tho stage.” The photogruph snowed a beautiful face, one unknown ju public performances; Yet mani- festly belonging toa New York wowun; for it was the original work-of a well-known pho- tographer. Ia g roundof half adozen stores where such pletures are dealt in onls two more pictures of other than stage favorits were seen. In neither instance were they portraits of women very extensively known in society They bad undoubtedly been produced to meet the demand indieated by the conversation quoted. The ‘*professional beauty ™ s one of the l&.audon Ppeculiariticsnot yet brought to New York. The sale of actresses’ pictures does not fall off in the least, thourh the business is not done so much by itself in_scparate stores. A photo- graph counteris nowa common thinz in the fancy-goods establishments of Broudwuy and Sixth avenue. The buyers ure mostly women, who simply desire pretty things for muntels and cabinets, and ure not uctuuted by admiration of the criginals. These actresses’ portraits are the most ‘attractive pietures tobe hadac tritling cost, and, therefore, scli readily. 'Ihe purchases by ten ure usually for coliections of dramutic portraits, though n bashful- youth sometimes buys the counterfeit presentment of some burlesquer in a wanuver indieating an intention to weur it mext his beurt. Inquiries of the sellers yesterday elicited a fact that was corrobornted by tho stocks on hand: that many of the former pets of the camera are wholly supplanted. Lydiz Thompson, Pau- line Markham, ada Harland, ltose Massey, Rosina Volks, und other favorits of a few ye ago, are hurdly to be found in the largest assort- ments. Even Muaud Bronscome, of whowm 300 negutives are suid to have been made, fu post- ures rauging from simpering prettily o & swing to clinging desperatcly to i cross, 18 dropping out of favor. The run at present is on Mury Anderson. A cabinet picture representing ber as the Countess in ** Love,"” with o hawk perched on her lifted inger (just a8 be usunliy refuses to perch in the play), IS the most rapid-elliugs thing now in the market. Her head {n profile, with 1 Ianguishing expression in her face,-and her back hair mussed, stands next ia popular favor. The writer counted twenty-seven ditferent aspects of Miss Anderson's beauty in one Sixih avenue collection. Among the actresses ‘who firmly hold their places before the camera ure Lotta, Kate Clax- ton, Minnio Palmer,- Fanuie Davenport, and JMaud Grange: ‘heir faces ure adaptable for photographing, and the photograpbers are con- suntly punng them fnto new und besitehing poses. Alongside them remains Hetty Tracy, a urlesquer Wwith the cuuntenance of n saint. The uew ones that sell well are Ademide Det- chon of Walluck’s, anor Carey _of the Union Square, Catharine Lewss of e Fifth Avenue, Eftie Elisler of the Madison Square, Carrie Howard of the Bowery varicty theatres, Annic Pixley, the Western star, and Adu Gliman, now at Booth's. There hus been only & muderute de- mand for Sarub ;Bernhardt. This §s due to the fact that she 3 not ornamental on a card, rather than to uny soclat prejudice aaiost ber.' Many parchasers do not know or inquire whose the POFLIAltS itre, and have 00_further interest than to get a pretty picture. On the other hund, the prominence of an uctress on the Stage iukes n demand umony ber admirers.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, NEW Yoer, Feb. 26.—Discussing the loca- tion of the proposed World’s Fair and the ne- cessity of securing a site i Central Park, Gen. Grant said to-day: ‘“ The next few weeks will determine whether ah Interna- tional Exhibition {s to be held in New York in 183, A change in the feel- ing of the people must take place soon or the project must be abandoned. When I was chosen President of the Commission Isaid thatI could give little attention to its work for. sev- eral months on account of my expected absence, but that next . year I might be able to do mere. I relied upon others to raise the funds and organize -the work. If the people who wish the fair to be held at Inwood will come forward and subsoribe for the stock, let them do it now. If they will not, then SOMETHING MUST BE DONE to interest the people at large, so that they will subscribe. Whatever is done needs to be done at once.” Referring to the sugges- ~tion that Chieago would take the fair off the hands of New York, the General said: “I have no doubt Chicago conld raise the money for this fair within forty-eight hours,” sald the General quietly, but with the fire in his eyes which 80 often shines in them. ** Do you advise handing the project over to the Chicago people >” “They ougzht to have it if they wish it, provided New York is willing to give it uwp. But _if the inhabitants of Manhattan Island can Dbe made to interest themselves in it as they ought they will soou raise the mioney and go for- ward with the work thewselves. There is every prospect of A GREATER EXHIBITION than the world has yet seen if New York is as enterprising as she _is. reputed to be,” con- tinued Gen. Grant. *In 1876 the country was suffering from a recent panic, and there are now five who feel able to make a journey to attend an Internationaf Exhibition where theré was. ene ai 3 the time of the Centennial. The World’s Tair will be at none too early a date if heldin -1883, and 1 venture the prediction that, if as successful as it may easily be made, it wili_be followed: by another International xhibition in some part of the world within the next six years.” CABINET GOSSIP. WITAT A CORRESPONDENT SATS. Special Dispaten to The Chicago Tribune. New York. Feb. 26.—A Mentor corre- spondent telegraphs: * Let me give you a few inside pointg. Gen. Garfield doesn’t lny so much stress on the Treasury business as others do. He thinks that the three chief opportunities in the next four years will be in the man- agement of the Law Department, the Navy Department. and the Post-Otlice. He sees the Utah business Iooming up. fn the near future, and the Attorney-General will have to handle it. None buta great lawyer can cope with the question, and he means te give sucha one the chance. We have no navy. We want one. No appropria- tion asked ~ IS EVER'REFUSED THE NAVY. What could not a clear-headed, resolute man do in that Department, and, if in four years a Secretary could and did give us a navy of which the coun- try would be - proud, what a feathor it would be in his cap, and what & banner for the Administration to wave, 1 Then comes the Post-Oflice, with its myriad workers and jts many needs. ‘I'he oprortunities there have been the cue to many a talk between Garfisli 2nd Foster, and you may rely on it that those men mean business. Light Dbegins to dawn there, ferh:lps. Let us look at the posjtion. I have told you_that Gov. Charles Foster is on tha slate as_Postmaster- General, and- I repeat it. In Mr. Garfield’s mind Foster is the ideal Postinaster-Gen- eral,—clear-headed, methodical, and a marvelous fellow for details. Foster is charmed with the idea, and the only draw- back is the uncertainty with which he re- gards the succession to Pendleton’s seat in the Senate. Iowever, if Gen. Garfield can- not show him THE SUPERIORITY OF THE POSTAL PATRON- AGE to that of the Ohio Governorship, I’'m: mis- taken. Please put Foster down as Post- master-General, and then we come to New York, Gen. Garfield _has never wanted to give New York the Treasury, and the events of the week elineh his elief that it would be absurd to do so. I telegraphed long axo _that, unless after Gen. Garfield reaches 1Wash- ington there is trouble with Blaine, the Treasury will come to the West. Wit then is” there for New York?. Well, according to Gen. Garfield, the choice places are the Post-Office, the Law, and tna Navy. The DPost-Office is-_given, or rather pressed on Toster, and I believe he will takeit. The Navy, L think, will go to New York, and Morton will_be the man, if Folger is got out of the way.” ANTI-CONSOLIDATION. THE SUIT OF THE DIRECT CADLE COMPANT.
