Loxpox, July 24.—Muecb interest has been aroused in political cireles by the discovery of speech John Bright made in Dublin, October 81, 1866, in which he gave & strong and clo- quent defense of a separate parliament for Ire- land. Among other things, be said the tenants in England and Scotland are much more pow- erful tHan the tenants here, because you aro ‘acting alone here and act upon a great powerful body_ia London. If you had @ parliament at College Green, clearly the tenantry of Ireland would, with the present feeling in Ireland, be able to force through that parliament any measure of justice they named. But as you have to deal with a great parilament sitting in London, all the clamor you make and any de- mand you urged irom this side of the channel comes With very feeble effect, espectally as you can only be represented by about 10 members, id Of these, uniortunately it happens, a con: derable number are unwilling to support the demands made. Itis one of the most difficult things in the world tor fifty men among 600, Some hundreds of miles from those they repre- sent, to work vp any question which may be agutust the predjuces ‘sympathies of the 600. Bright bas made a short but feeble reply tw this. —-__ BRAVE ARCHBISHOP CROKE. Encouraging Words to the Friends of the Irish Cause. Lonpox, July 24.—The Most Rev. Thomas W.

In the letier bearing the remittance the urchbishop says: “There is no ground for despondency. We have the greatest political strategist at oar head. Tue courage of our race was never higher nor more hopeful. The sympathy of the whole civilized world Is with us. We have a compact party of 300 members in the house ot com- inons. Nearly a million and a hulfof Englts! men Voted for restoring our country’s rights.” en E28 A GREAT MINERS’ STEIKE THREAT NED. Trouble Caused by the Reduction in Wages at the Scott Mines. Pirrs2cxG, July 24.—Trouble on a large scale is brewing amoug the miners, and a general strike 1s possible. For some weeks past there has been a general strike among the railroad miners, especially along the line of the more and Ohio rallroad. ‘This has exte: and there is every possibility that the Monon: gabela river miuers will soon be out. Some days ago the miners at Representative Seutt’s works signed an agreement to work for a year ut sixty-five cents per ton. ‘The operators al other pits claim that they are unable to compete with Scott and pay seventy-one ceuts, and aia num- ber of Works the men have been notified that Wages wil be reduced from seventy-one to sixty-nve cents. The men are strongly opposed to any reduction, and trouble 1s looked for. Sodeeoub A Wicked Kansas Postmaster. CONSPIKING TO BLOW UP A COURT HOUSE TO DESTROY EVIDENCE OF LAND FRAUDS. Kansas Crry, Mo.

Upon“ entering the office be had found, as a general rule, that the traderships were held by Tepublicans. He had reappointed old traders, ‘and among them republicans. He bad, he said, revoked the license of Jacobs, because the latter (ried to sell out his license. He beard a report that 8. M. Jackson had offered to sell his tradership license, but Jackson denied it in- dignantly.
