THE LIBERAL DEFEAT IN DULRITAM is attributable to “dissatistaction with the Government's coercion policy. Lrish votes did not turn the scale. They number only 250, while the number of Liberals who did not vote was nearly 1502 Mr Cowen and other © ‘Northern Liberals who are opposed to coercion - took ‘no part in the canvass. It is diiiicult for the Government to suspend the Coercion acts, as outrages in Ireland are on the increase, and the lawlesness of the agitators, whose occu- pation is flireatened, compels it to persevere; inits thankless task. THE FAIRTRADE AGITATION accupies the first place in English polities. The North Lincolnshire election was won by “the conservatives on the faith of extravagant promises in this direction. Sober Conserva- uves censure Mr. Lowther for making de- iusive engagements which he could not fal- iM. - Sir Stafford Northcote’s speech at Shef- field is wannly attacked by the Liberals. The Tory leader evidently sees the value of the reciprocity agitation to his party, and While he avows himself a free-trader he says he desires tree trade to be universal and fair. Such conditions being impossible, it is apparent he is not anxious to discourage a useful party agitation, though he guards himself from the respousivility of giving * effect to protectionist aspirations. LAND REFORM. The Cambridgeshire election will test the sincerity uf the farmers’ demands for land reform. The Liberal candidate, the Marquis of Blandford, is the eidest.son uf the Duke of Marlborough, and brother of Lord Ran- dolph Churchill, ‘fhe Marquis has been liv- jug in retirement, in consequence of the Aylestord divorce svandal. He has pul- dished articles denouncing land monopoly, und now, abandoning the politics of his house, stands on the Jand-reform platform, # FACT that Irish capitalis re endeavoring to start home manittactures, and proves that tran- quillity is expected from;the Land act. ‘The Guinuesses are starting two woolen facto- Hes, and the Midland Great Western Rail- way has resolved to aid, manufacturing en- terprises. : TM FRENCH GOVERNMENT fs reported to be coming to reason about the commercial treaty, M.

At first ‘they thought-the movement would die oz inanition the moment trade began to revive, butas there is no prospect of trade reviving they were forced to tight the devil with fire, Lunderstand that the idea of putting, for- ward land reform as a counter irritant against fair trade OKGINATED WITH MR. BRIGHT and Mr. Chamberlain. They learned from their agents in the manufacturing’ districts that the artisans were flocking to the retaliu- ti andard, and as they could not without acement hint at areturn to the corn it occurred to them that a crusade. against the landlords and the ‘hereditary aristocracy” would be what Mr. Bernal Os- borne éalled “a paying rival entertainment.” So it comes about that the Tories are now posing as the friends of the Liberal artisan, while the Radicals are cultivating the Tory farmer.. It is just possi- bie that we may see Mr, Gladstone fol- lowing Disraeli’s example, and appearing at harvest homes and agricultural shows in the traditional garb ofa ‘Squire. The Conserv- atives thought that the fair-trade ery was irresistible, but Lthink the land-reform cry is just as attractive. Moreover, a land-re- form platform will always hold . good, whereas should trade at the north pick up the fair-trade movement will die out. ‘fhere is no blight so effective as that of national prosperity for POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC QUACKERY., Meanwhile the fair traders are working with extraordinary vigor. Clubs are being formed in allthe chief manufacturing centres, and stump-speakers are out in all directions, So far, however, the movement is SADLY LACKING IN MEN. The Anti-Corn law agitation forty years azo owed as much to the earnestness of Cobden, the eloquence of Bright, and the vigor of W. J. Fox, the Unitarian minister, as to its own abstract merits, and the fair traders can never become truly formidable until a leader arises. The Duke of Rutland yesterday addressed a large gathering at the Sheffield cutlers’ feast, and excited great enthusiasm by repeating the prediction of Sir John Macdonald, the Can- adian Premier, who has been here for some time, that England will be compelled to prot her industries, and that. the laboring classes will drive the Government to doit. Lhe Duke added: “tell the laborers and artisans of this town thatif such is their opinion‘they must. show it at the polling booth.” This speech was received with immense cheering. Mr, Gladstone and his colleagues . are aware of the growing feeling aguinst “one- sided free trade,” and will make desperate efforts between now and next February, when the House will meet to push the coun- termovement for sweeping land reforms, the reduction of rents, and the extension of the franchise. MI. JAMES LOWTHEL'’S ELECTIO: in North . Lincolnshire on the fair-trade platform has staggered the Liberal journals. As I cabled you last week, they were all snugly confident that the late Chief Secre- tary would be hopelesly beaten. | Yester- day afternoon, before the result of ‘the polling known, the Pall-Mall Ga- zette Si that ‘“‘the — Free-Traders found 2 goud.deal to eneottrage them in the recent utterances of the piebald faction of Protectionists and retaliator3,” and went on to ridicule Mr. Lowther's ‘arguinents, whieh are now proved to be in harmony with the opinious of the electors. Mr. Ecroyd, at Preston, Mr. Lowther, in North.Lincoin, and Sir George Elliott, iu North Durham, have now been elected on the fair-trade platfoni, aid in-the manufacturing ‘towns which’ I have lately visited Lhave been assured that almost ‘any’sort of a candida can be elected on thatticket. Sir. Stafferd! Northtote-who learned finance at the feet of{Mr. Gladstone, has fought shy of this question; but at Shef- field yesterday he declared that, though a free-trader, he desired to seé freetrade “ uni- versal and fair.” eee £ & THE LAND LEAGUE. is an e&tinet volcano.

He was identified indireetly with the Youne-Ireladers of 1848, and has been for many years the confidential legal_ adviser of the heirarchy. Even Archbishop Croke, prob- ably. the most stalwart Leaguer within the pale of the Church, is satisfied’ that in Mr. O'lHagay’s hends the act will certainly uot he used as an instrument for tenaut oppres- ston. and’ the MR. GAVIN, M.

MI. PARNELL SEES that to retain his plice and power he must uy some other tack, and he will begin an agi- tation this autumn fora revival of Irish in- dustries. ‘The best card, however, is repeal. Ata meeting in ‘Tyrone the other day h id that to his knowledge one Cabinet. Mini: had avowed that, if the agi continued, home-rule in some shape or other would have to be cohceded 1 Lhada brief conversation yesterday with William Lee Howard, who. was sent to Iee- land fast year on an exploring expedition by the United States Government, He told me that the general opinion there is that Mr. Ben- nett’s yacht, the Jeannetie, must have been cnught in the ice and.crushed, The erew could not have survived the severities of last winter in the polar regions. ‘The bones of the ptarnigan and other birds, as well as of native animals, everywhere strew the ice. It fs just possible, Mr. toward says, that the Jeannette’s crew may have taken to quarters und saved themselves, but he does not entertain very sanguine hopes of this. The ice has not yet opened, and the iecbergs will be met with later than usual in the Atluntic this year.

The weather is still extremely cold and unseasonable, and the growth of the root crops has been checked. THE TOURISTS are hastening howe, for the weather is.just as bad on the Continent. It is rumored that TNE GREAT FIRE IN CHEAPSIDE ~ the other day was the work of Fenian incen- diaries, and that an explosion yesterday near Ilunt & Roskell’s workshops was also duc to a conspiracy. It is difficult to see, how- ever, what the Fenians could hope to gain by setting fire to two or three warehouse in Cheapside and Bread streets, and itis much more probable that gangs of thieves are at work firmg buildings: tor the purpose of pluncer and sheltering them- selves behind the panic over the infernal machines, After the Clerkenwell explosion, for which Michael Barrett suffered, the police found that thieves perpetrated many subsequent outrages, and I have no douvt that-this is the gase nuw. It is certain that, if any explosion or fire should be traced to the Irish “Skirmishers,” it would result’ in great misfortune to the Irish people.. Since the Liverpool affair, Irishmen in the Jarge centres in the North have been regarded with some suspicion, and “no Irish need apply” would be the ery everywhere it the “skirmishers”? should attempt to pursue the mad program of the New York leaders. Mr. Parnell and his associates are well aware of this, and are endeavoring by every means in their power to dissuade their followers from coun- tenencing such desperate work. The feeling of uneasiness in London has been increased by the event of the past week. THE DECLINE IN AMERICAN SECURITIES has been heavy this week, partly owing to the war of rates on the trunk roads. In At- Jantic, Grand Trunk, and Illinois the fall has been caused chiefly by the failure of 2 broket at ‘ Manchester, whose. stocks had to be thrown on the market atatime when there were no buyers. The general opinion here is that these causes of depression are but temporary, and the ‘unusually low prices must shortly bring out buyers. John Taylor & Co. have issued'a circular denying President Bond’s state- ments, and the accuracy of his list of subscribers to the deferred bonds of the Reading Road. The subscribers entered ‘as not having paid the first installment have paid not only the first, but both installments. The circular de- nounces the VPhiladelphia- publications as garbled aud scandalous. ‘The Daily ‘Lcle- graph this morning says. it questions whether, in the whole ‘history of railway poleimies, any more meah and discreditable device was ever attempted than in the pub- lication of the list referred to.

Being practical people, they no doubt think it safer to make sure of Paradise by coming over before. they die than to defer the trip till afterward. ‘The ladies of the demi-monde are in future to be carefully excluded from the amplithe- atre seats at the Opera, where the excessive freedom of their manner and conversation has of late been a grievous aflliction to the American tourists and English Dissenting ininisters who at this season of the year form the chief part of the audience.” - THE FRENCH “ CONQUEST.” A MARD TASK, LONDON, Sept. 3.—A Paris correspondent of the Zimes says the electiqus were undoubt- edly hurried in the belief that large rein- foreements would -be shortly sent to Africa, and no sooner are the elections over than preparations for the dispatch of troops to At- rica are apparent in. all directions. Al- though, according to the calculations of an opposition paper, fitty-nine battalions, cach 500 strong, are already there, being one-sixth of the peace effective. Nobody disputes, however, the necessity of these reinforee- ments. The Bey has lost all authority over the tribes and his soldiers. -Europeans dare not stir out of the coast towns, and the cry of all unofficial telegrams is for more troops. A military newspaper asserts that the ambulances are crowded. Typhoid fever is raging. One battalion which was 605 strong in July is now reduced to 40. An equipage train has fifteen dead and twenty-five sick out of 100 men, and the mortality in some regiments is 148 out of 1,000. It is evident that France will have to subjugate Tunis inch by inch.

A DOLEFUL WALL FROM ‘THE “ EAGLES? “Spectal Dispatch to [he Chicaco Tribune. New York, Sept. 3.—The Brooklyn Eagle dues not like the statement of the Rev. George Miln, now of Chicago, that the moral condition of “Brooklyn will not compare favorably with that of Chicago, and that the Brooklynites know how to hide thelr wiel ness better than do Chivitzuans, as was re- ported in the dispatehes last night. Quoting Miln’s statement, the Eagle says: “This arming statement. Wetrust that Mr. Miln speaks rather from the Chicago stand- point of great jealousy than asa neutral and intelligent observer, fur it there has been anything concealed from view of-an immoral character in this city, and itcan be added to the public scandals, then indeed Brooklyn must be THE WICKED T YLACK ON THE FACE OF THE AIT. Why, for twenty y or more, the misdeeds of Brouklyn people have futuished the coune try with themes for sip when virtua seemed to broud over the land. If we are to believe that there is still a fraction of seandal in this city that has been covered up, that in fact we are worse under the suyface than we appear to the world, weshall begin to despair of ever sveing the City of Churches an example to other communities. Lut it is tuo early to give way to this feeling of hopelesness. 1t is possible that Mr. Miln. was guilty of heterophemy—saying one thing and meaning: another. Doubtless what he meant to con- vey wis the conservatism and cautiousness of the Chicago man as compared with the candor and outspokenness of the Brooklyn sinner. Anybody who has studied =~ THE GUILEFUL CHICAGOAN® must have been impressed with the demure- ness ot his villainy. Who ever heard of 2 Chicago man owning up to a fault. Or the contrary, it is alleged against him tha: so dueply” engraven into his charnctes is the vice of hyprocrisy that he calls milk by the deceitful nine of creain, and meditate: his most diabolical conspiracy against his neighbor in the Sunday-school, and ever in the church itself, So crafty is he that he seldom, if ever, patronizes one of the gnulti- tude of liquor saloons in his neighborhood in the daytime lest his tongue ‘should be loosed and in 2 moment. of exhilaration he should babble some of the guilty secrets in hisbreast. He wears kid-gloves to busiuess to give’the impression that-he can afford it, and when he steals he always arranges that it shall be by embezzlement in order that the confusion in HIS LOOKS SHALL DEFY EXAMINATION. As for the other formsof immorality which constitute the principal stock in trade of the more ‘candid Brooklyaite, the cautious Chi- ¢agoan has so arranged his divorce lav that they pass on the records for eruelty, de- sertion, and incompatability of temper. We fear that Mr. Miln has quite mistaken the Chicagu man, aud has been deceived by ‘his quiet‘demeanor and saintly aspect, his de- corous manners and sombre attire, Itis the gay and dashing Ureoklyn man whose faults are on the surface, not the sombre, sedate, and calculating Western sinner.” é WHEAT. ASN UNACCOUNTABLE DROP.IN ITS PRICE. Spectat Dispatch tu’ The Chicaco Tribune, New York, Sept. 3.—The break in 3 Chicago wheat from $1.36 to SL23¢ in this market yesterday was a most sudden and uns expected drop, and was wholly unaccounta- ble wpon legitimate influences or even upon ordinary ‘speculative manipniations, and it gave rise to much comment, which has-this morning settled inte the positive conviction | that it was an engineered break of the Cin- cinnati wheat clique to force down this mar- ket and thus break Chicago, which they had been unable to do even with - their enormous deliveries of Thursday last.
