ARREST.OF PARNELL, The news of the arrest of Mr, Parnell while on lls way to address a largo imecting in Lrotund yesterday is not altogether as surprising agit would have been had not the speeches made by him recently fndieated a purpose on his part to fores tho British Government to adopt that extrone meastire, While iu this country the summary arrest of any person In. thie of peace for more words, however violent and incendiary, ean hardly find Justitieation, and can hardly have any efvet other than to magnify the linpor- tance of the person arrested, aud erente o wider sympathy for him among lls partisans, nevertheless It is unquestionable that the are rest will meet nlmust universal approval in Eneland and greatly strengthen the Ministry Trond out of Parlimnent. . ‘Iwo’ yeara ago Mr. Parnetl, who was a comparatively. new man in British politics, une an appeal to the elvilized workt In be- hall of fumlne-strieken Lreland, whose peo- ple were deprived of thelr meagre supply of food, remorselasly taken from them to pay ex- orbitant rents for Jauds which for several sive years. had failed te produce an igeerop, ‘The fearless nanner in whieh Farnell presontéd the afiietions of his Ar, cotntrymen, and the enlm, temperate, and dignified unanner in which he pointed out that the cause of this chronfe suffering was the eruel and merelless Jand system of Lre- land, won the sympathy of all nations, but espectally of the Aierican people, in this coitry the subject was discussed with as much earnestness as If It was.an American question, and contributions of food and money were sent forward to ald and rellovo the sufferlng poor, while there was a strong expression of public, opinion uppealing to Great Britain for a liberalization of the odlous lund Jaws, Mr. Parnell pert sonally visited Unis country and most favor- ably impressed the people with hls unselfish burposs to obtain a modification of the Irish Jand laws. ‘The agitation, being wholly dis- {net from “nationalism? Jn the sense of o polltical separation of Ireland nnd Great Urltaln, appealed to all classes and shiides of oplulon, wid for-once in the history of Lre- and the people of that country were united. drelund sentto Parllament & nearly ananl- mous representation In favor of laud reform, Mr, Gladstone had deetared his purpose to propose a fund bi avhich would relleve Lre- land of many of ler substantial gelevances, ‘Vhat bill hy proppsed and carcled through ufter one of the most mpnuiorable struggles ever known In Parllamynt, 1b granted to tho Irish tenants the following rights and privileges, uuknown to them for many conturles: (1) That every tenant new or hereafter venting land should he en- tiled to a lense for fifteen years, (2) That for every penny expended by tim tn the way of improvement or betterments he acquired a property interest, (3) That at the expiration of the lease he was entitled to compensation for this property, and before he contd be refused a new tease he must be paid for thts property, and fi ense he is not palit he is entitled to new lease for tifteen sears without change of rent. G4) ‘That In valuing the Innd with regard to fixing tho rent thereot tho valuation must be asta tho naked Jand, unless the hnprove: ments thereon were placed there by the Jandlord., (5) That when the tenants and landlords do not agree ds to what Isa falr rent that fact shall be determined by a court established for that purpose, the penses of tho court boing pald by the British Governinent. (6) That no tenant shalt bo evicted from the Innd except for non-pay- ment of the rent Judielatly determined to be “fair? (7) ‘That the tenant has a property: Interest fn his lease, whleh lense nnd any Iinprovements on the land he may setl at any: the. (8) ‘Phat any tenant wishing fo buy tho faud held by him may have tho valuation thereof determined, and, upun payment of one-fourth the price, the Government will advance him the other % per cent of the purehase money, and allow him to refund the same in tweyty-iive equal annual Instalt- ments, 4 This DI, which secured to every Irlstt tenant fittegn years’ absolute and undisturbed possession ata fale rent, with the right of property in lls tense, and in all exponditures: on the land, and with tho right of purchase of the land, the Government advancing hin three-fourths of the money, was passed, the whole body of the Dish representatives, ex- cupt fifteen, votlng for it—these fifteen dis- senting members velng Mr. Parnell and ls immediate followers, who had, pending the DiI, separated themselves trom thy Ministry and from the Irish members of Parliament. Ever since the passage of the bill Mr. Par- nett bas with his followers denounced it tin the most violent terms, aid sotght by the greatest Inbors to prevent the people from accepting its benefits, The Land League, whose original demands fell shortof what the bill actually grants, has bern continued and employed in urging tho people to resect and Mr, Parnell has converted the league thto an organization demanding the national Independence and political sevaration of Ireland from Great Britain, In the promo- tlon af this scheme he has been apycaling to the people of ircland to distegard the Land bill and all its benefits, and to unite In de: manding political independence, On this question of Irish Indepondence of Great Britain there ts a wide difference of opinion In Ireland. ‘fhis agitation at once divides the Irish people, who were united on the land question, Into two vlo- Tently opposed parties, and of course wenk- ens the friends of Irvland not only-In Trotand but the world over. Mr. Parnell has been, urging the people of Ireland not ‘to take teases under the Land bill; siot to pay at most more than two shillings rent on the pound valuation, and generally to defent and roject the bill, with a view thatthe continued distress, perhaps famine, will drive the Brit- Ish Government, through fear of a rebellion, into granting the extreme political measures now demanded by Mr, Parnell. In this pol- ey Mr. Parnell must expect to lose much of the sympathy so cordintly extended to him on the land question. ‘Cho Scotch and En- glish tenants are now: preparing to have Par- Hament extend to them the Innd reforms al- ready granted to: Ireland. ‘These people, whose efforts will be atl powerful to secure to Ireland further rellef on the land question, will cordially sustain the British Govern- ment in resisting Parnell’s extreme policy, and will possibly present at undiyided sup- port to the mensure for hls arrest, The resuit of all this is to divide nnd dis- tract the people of Ireland and agaln reduce them to poverty and want. On the question of Irish independence of Engtand they have always been divitted, and never more so than now, Any agitation on that questlon wilt be sure to unite England hid Seotlaut and at Jenst half the people of Irelagd against It, particularly when its avewed purpose fs to reject the great, far-reaching, and most ine portant benefits of tho Land bill, Of tho 105 Irish representatives in Darlinnent, not more than a dozen or fifteen approve and ine dorse Mr. Paruell’s pollcy, ang that polley ean only hope for disastrous dcfeat, JUNGE DAVI8 AB PRESIDENT PRO. TEM. ‘Khe election of Senator David Davis, of Illinols, as President pro tem, of the Senate ig a very sntlsfactory conclusion of the cons troversy over tho Presidential succession which is vested in tliat position, Lt was Nehleved yesterday through a resolution offered by Senator Logan unger the Instruce trons of the Republican Senators, aud by a vote of 37 to 35—nelther Bayard nor Davis voting. It was a fitthng rebuke to the parti- sanship and trickery of the Democrats to solze unripe frult, Itassures a falreminded tnd finpartial presiding oflteer to the Senate; it prevents tie Domverats from tating ad- vantage of nssasination to rench for power which they could not obtain at the hands of the‘people, and it holds out no further in ducement to assasinatlon for partisan ends, Judge Davis Is entirely consistent in ‘ace vepting the position the Ltepublicans have conferred upon hin, Me feels that the Pres- {dential question was settled Inst fall when the ‘people yoted that the oftco should be placed tn the hands of the Republicans dur- Ink the next four years, He dovs not believe that this popular verdict shoul be set aside by the pistol of an assusin, But tds Is not atl The act of assastuntion alone would not have ennbled the Democrats to seize the Tresidentlat succession, It was necessary for thom to resort to fn trick to seeuro their party advantage, ‘They were obliged to ex- elude ‘three Repubtlean Sonntors-elect In order to carry their point, ‘They deprived one great State of all representation and another State of one-half ts representation, uso Means to secure the temporary majority necessury to elect Mr, Bayard Presidpnt pro tem, ‘Thus the election of a Doenucrat be- came a double outrage—ilrat by conferring upon the Democrats the Presldentlal succes- slon to which they are not entitled, and, secondly, by disfranchising one State entire- ly and another in part In order to seenre this unfalr advantage, We can well bellove that Judge Davis ts propured upon every proper occasion to do equal justice to both parties and all factions in presiding over the deliberations of tho Senate, Ilo was elected to that body as an Independent, and has always exercised the right to vote with either party in accordanes with his own convictions, His brief address In uceupting the place of President protean. Indicated, that ho would continua to feel the sano Nberty In the future, At the same thne, the Democrats cannot hope that, in uny emergency, Judge Davis will bein party sytpathy with them, whother as President of tha Sennte or tn case ho shall ever become Acting President of tho United States, ‘The elreutustances of his election preclude any such feeling on his part, ‘Thore was no other purpose In electing Mi. Bayard President pre tem, than te lodge the Presidential suc cosalon in the hands of the Nemocruts, ‘Thera was ne other purpose In remaying Mr. Bayard from that position than to tuke away from the Domocras a possible necesslon to the Prestdeney to whlelt they are inno sense entitled, Judy 44 hits heen elerted Prestdent pro tem. by Ue- publleay votes exclusively, and has accepted that phice ander the conyietion that the.

Hence there ts not thd slightest danger that Judge Davis as President pro ten of tho Senate wil evar net as a representative of the Demoerntic party. He will ungtestions My endeavor to be tpartial as between the two parties, asa presiding oMeer oneht to be, no matter what votes haye elected ttn. But the Democrats must feel that i the election of Judge Davis they have lost the Unfair advantage whieh theyobtalned by une fair means, ind that they have defied and out- raged public opinton without avall. ee THE BLOCKADE IN PRODUCE, "The sttuntion of things on “Change yestor- day was but pitrt of tho legitimate sequel to the recent fever heat of speentation In prod- nee, Many people who had bought near the top grew thred of walting fora riso and flading only an unstendily growing loss by shrinkage in prices. They soll enongh to depress quotations a little further, and the overstrain. of the situatlon did the rest, ‘There was a rather heav¥ call for margins, and the call found many tuprepared to mevt It. ‘They had done sueh a heavy business, much of ton small margins from custom ers, that all their avatinble cash was already locked up, and 1h Where thoy had a profit on thelr deals they were crampert for money, And so they had to let ge, the con- sequence being a further bly break fn prices, ‘The selting of wheat was largely done on nee countof parties in and near St. Lonis, the gales of corn mostly tor Wall street people, and provisions were flung so treely on behall ofa prominent Eastern house in tag provis- jon trade as to excite grave riinors in regard to stubility, ‘The markets reacted somewhat Inter, but the feeling was excecdingly fever ish and unsettled. ‘The commeretal situation Is an abnormal one. Almost at the edge of whiter our ware- houses are so full of grain that one railroad. corporation has given public notice that it will reeeive no more grain vonstgned to Chi- eago for the present; and another road fs understood to be connnitted te the same pol- ivy. Nor Is the ell contined to Chleago, ‘The country warehouses, as well 5 thoso of other cities nre full of grain,beeausespeculation has enttried the prices up so high that consumers donot buy. Even with our drop of 16 cents per bushel on corn, we are still so. high in Chicago that shipment to New York Isfinposs@le except at a loss, though Now York Js reintively higher than Liverpool. ‘The wheat market fa ina similar fix, It fooks us if we haye made a market for other people to sellin. ‘The people of Western Europe are pureliasing grain from other countries, and searcely buying any pork prod- uetsaball And avery unpleasant point in the story of our commercial blockade Is the prospect that a severe dectinc here would be followed by © corresponding downward mnovement on the seaboard and Jn the Old World that would offer little Iéss loss on shipinents than now stares us in the face, ‘Tho people who have brought about these conitions by rushing pull-mell over each other as buyers of property that they would not know what to do with If It were deliy- ered to them are slowly waking up toa real- izing sense of the facts Inthe euse. What they are “golng to do about it’ ean scarcely betold. Many of them-aro already heavy losers, and there is reason to fear that they will loss yet more heavily before they are through with the deal, Lt would seem that ninuch greater loss must necessarily ensne four warehouses bo reileved suficiently to admitof a healthy trade during the rapidly Approaching winter, All this Is the more to ‘bo deplored as IE would seem that presont prices are not much too high, were It ngt for the reaction that inevitably follows an andue Intlation, such as wa have recently experi- enced. A BRILLIANT CAREER. Mr. Windon’s finanelal enreer has been meteoric in its brevity aud Sts britliancy, The suceess he has attalned as Sceretury of the Treasury may be suld to have been unex- pected, and perhaps on that account it has made nll the more impression upon the pub- lle. Me oceupled a respectable position In the Senate, ant had gained conslterable reputation from his connection with the antl- monopuly movement some years ago. Me was well Ilked and highly respected, but, ae the same time, Mr. Windom never ranked nmong the great statesmen or brilliant men of the day. His appointment as Secretary of the ‘Treasury gave him tho opportunity to apply hisexceltent business sons to the Gov- ernment service, and !t has enabled him within a few short months to take a foremost rank among the publle men of the United States, _ Ono masterly stroke hns achieved for Mr. Winttom more reputation and commendation thanJohn Shorman earned during his four years of service usSceretary of the'freasury, Sherman was steadfast In purpose and per- alstent in keeping straight ahead tn the Mne of resuniption, But he would probably have been more conservative thin Whidom was in the emergency tint confronted the Intte and hence less successful, When Mr. Wine dom took the ‘Treasury portfolio several hundred sillions of United States bonds Dearing 6 and 5 per cent Interest wero about to become subject ta call. There seemed to be only one of two things to be done—elther to pay theso bonds or to continue to pay the high rate of Interest they were drawing. Congress had made no provision for pay- ing or refunding them. ‘The money to take them up was not In the Treas ury, and under 9 strict construction of the luw Secretary Windom. seemed to be powerless, Dut hie discovered a way out of the difiiculty which, {f successful, would save tho Government some $14,000,000 or $15,000,000 of Interest per annum, He of fered the holders of tha high-interest bonds an opportunity to extend them, aubject to ‘Government call, at }_¢ per cent, Umiting the amount and fixing the time for such ex- tension, ‘fhere is nothing so effective asin Inult. ‘The holders of the 5s and 63 knew that they gould not hopo to draw this inter est very long, and made a rush to secure an extension at the low rate of Interest, because they feared they might otherwiso be shutout from the opportunity. ‘Tho result was that Mr. Windom successfully achieved refund- tng within g few weeks, which Congress had failed to provide after a winter's disousslon. It is not surprising that this aceomplishiment brought hn fanie and public gratitude, He has also asserted aclalm upon the good will of the country by refusing to accommodate Wall street In such management of the Gav- efnment finances as would best serve tho speculative Interest. Mr, Windom will retire from the Cabliet atter only six months’ service with o reputa- tion which will place his nawe along with those of Hamilton, Gallathn, Chuse, and Sherman in the history of American flnance, President Arthur will be exceedingly fort- unate if he shall sueceect in filling hls place with n mun who will be able to give equal sutisfuctlon. Jt ix stated that Mr, Windom lnsists upon retiring now, ‘This niay be true, beeause Mr, Windom is w young man, has no desire to abandon public life, and, by retlring at the present tlie, may be elected ta tho wosition which le vacuted fu the Sen- ate in order to enter Gartelt's Cablnet, ‘Thera is no doubt, however, that he would have remained fn his present position if Prealdent Arthur had fndleated a destro to have hin keep It throughont the present Adimtulstra- tlon, and if elreumstances hat warranted the Detlef that the new Admaitstratlon would voniite the poltey of fts predecessor. ‘Tho same may be assumed to be trne ef atl the ather membersof tho present Cabinet, for they had severally made tholr arrangements for serving four years. It cannot reasonably be expected, however, that these gentlemen will remain for ashort time terely to sult tho new Presitent’s convenience, and only to. retire al hls bidding without cause for change. Mr. Wiidom has done timself and his State much credit, and his retuen to the Senate will be n proper acknowledgment of his suecoss." st LAND REFORM IN GREAT BRITAIN. The London Speetator of Sept. 4 has an Intelligent article on the sublect of “The English Land Agitation,’ and in this article deseribes clearly tho present state of parties on that question, whieh bids falr to be of ex- citing Interest tha coming year in England, ‘The statement of tho Spectator we reduce us follow ‘bho Inndlords, « majsorily of tho tenants growlng grain, and most tenants holding dalry fans distant from the great cltles have sustained for five years severe losses, ‘The losses sustained by them are estiianted hy Mr. Bright at $1,000,000,000, not Including tho redtietions In the atimber of thelr sheep and cattle, ‘The farmers assume that these losses will contline, and look torward to ruin if they have leases, and thoso having ne leases throw up thelr faring or demand permanent reductions, ‘Lhe landlords, who have perma- nent burilens, regard these demands ag monstrous, Some of both classes regurtl this dlstress as temporary, but its duration un- certaln, and heres are unwilling to grant or take new leases on the only possible presont terms, Out of Uily great diversity of in- terest and opinion Inve grown up four parties, whieh are thus deseribed : 1, ‘The protectionist. ‘Chis Includes many ‘ory landlords, a few Ignorant Whig land- lords, and a great body of tenants, and his tho latent sympathy of the whole body of the landed aristocracy, who. dread a loss of power as much as one of money. These persons think that a tariff duty of dolar a bushel on grain would enable tenants to pay liberal rents ang live comfortably; and they bid. for city support by promising that there will result 0 largo rise in wages, ‘They pro- elaim a war of tariffs, forgetting that thoy eamiot discriminate between nations In tariff legislation, & Tho second party fs that whieh demands readjusted taxation; but ting cuts but little figure In the contest. - %& The third party is that of tennant-right, whieh holds that there must be better secure ity for capltal Invested In tho soil, that rents |. must be reduced, and that cultivation so. al- ters Iand as to create for the cultlyator a right of property In the holding, Uhough not Ju the freehold, ‘They demand In substance the three “h%s’? put forth by tho Irish agl- tators, ‘Tho English tenants concede to the landlords the power to reduce tho claims agulust thei into pecuniary payments, ‘This {3 the growlng party, counting ,in fts ranks somo holders of land; all Scotch farmers, who are forming new sovietics every week; tho Farmers’ Alliance, which has made ten- nuteright {ts lending principle; all farmers hopeless of protection; all Lrishmen; and a large body of the elty populations. Of these demands the Spectator says that security for capital will readily be granted, including the right of actlon by the tenant for damages In belong deprived of his holding. Free sale may also be granted, with the pro- viso of p permanent predimption to the lund- Tord. But’ fair rent” will be the great bone of contention. ‘The objection to any legisla- tlon on this point is thus stated: ‘Tho laudtord will sny that tn England tho land was toade culturable by him, and not, ws in iro- Jand, by the tenunt—which Is trug in the muln— und that he bns ag much right to hire out his plant” ag any othor trader hus, or any bulldor hos. A © judicial rent for o farm, when tho Igudlord hus mudo the farm culturnvle and habe Itnble, implies a Judicial rent for a house, or a Aiictory, or a sewing-machine. In that neque nent tho Jandilord will be supported by the tricd- ing Instinct of tho English pooplo, which in- duces thew usually to object to any law of mixe fuitm—though thoy piss such tunws ubout cabs, solicitors’ fees, tho supply of water (a near nus aloxy), and Of gad—and which may possibly rave Irresistible. f+ will Le suld thut, ag no- body need farm unless he Mkes, foud being pro- gurablo olsewhere, tho ront of the machiner; for farming, of which land [sy part, inust be loft to tho open market. And it will algo be sald that ntandowner has a full right to farm all his own, Jnnd, a claim which dircetly linits tonant-right, und whieh, owing to tho trival origin of Irish LOU bus never been admitted In that coun- ty. | 4. The fourth party Is that which proposes freo trade in Innd: ic, ‘This purty thinks that {f land wera mado ns salable us consuls, and entnil aod settlement were abolished, land would be sold in bits, and farmers’ grievances would adjust thomsalves, Tho landtorda would be less pressed for money, und the tenants would, to a cortuln extont, hyve tho option of changing tennney into ownershtp, subject to mortgige. Morvover—and this 1s important and little noticed—tho system, found 60 Bttractivens reguris houses, of granting long iewses partly for alow rent and purtly for a sum down, would bo cusily Introduced, ‘This free-trade-In-land party has the sup- portof the Government, the support of the whole Liberal party as an organization, and of all landlords not devoted to an aristocratic systen, Itis supported and adyoented by Lord Derby. Itts not, however, supported, though not opposed, by any large boily of farmers, who, while willing to eufranchiso the soll, really desire to enfranchiso the ten- quits, ‘This statement of the division of partics In Great Hritain on tho land question leaves no doubt but that a mensure substantially as sweoping as that in Ireland, so far as tho condition of affairs in Great Britain require ft, will pass the present Parliament. ‘Tho three F's will be established in England aud Scotland so far as tho diferent elreumstances may demand them. ‘The whole Scotch peo- ple demand the reform, and befora the Pare Hament meets the English tenants as a body will unite with the Scotch, Mr, Gladstone Js not the man to hesitate In such a imatter as this, Me carried his bill for Ireland against the popular British sentiment, which was hostile to any rellef of Ireland,. Ie de- fended that Dill because It was right In pri elple, and le will not now hesitate to give to England and Scotland a lke relult from the feudal land laws which preyall there, ‘The falr-rent and ‘the freo-trade-In-land parties wIlk_ unite and carry both of the measures, und “Mr, Gladstone will become kuown In history as tho author of the greatest reform in the Innd laws that has been acomplished sinev the French revolution, Ile has already Attuned the unquestioned position as the foremost statesmun of the century, and the | enianelpation of the soll and of the cul- tlyators of tho soll of the United Kingdom will glve to kim the glory of accomplishing by peaceful revolution reforms greater than wore ever obtained by furce.
