The Irish Land Question Officially Introduced. Lonpon, Sept. 4, 1869. The Marquis of Hartington attended the Cutters’ ‘Danquet at Sheitield last night. He made a speech. He said:— The task for the ensuing session of Parliament would be the settlement of the irish land question. He hoped the subject would be debated with as little litical feeling as possible. 1t had never been the ttle ground of party. Men were comparatively unpiedged, and statesmen of various opinions showed an honest disposition to grapple with the diMculties surrounding this inatter. Cardinal Cullen’s Pastoral. The London Times comments as follows on Cardl- mal Cullen’s last pastoral and on the claims put forth by the Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireiand:— “They demand the overthrow of common educa- tion, and the exaltauion of denominationalism. The language of Archbishop Cullen must provoke resentment. The pretensions of the Catholic hierar- chy toward the State are intolerable. There is mot one of their resolves on education which the people wil not emphatically repudiate, and which, if brought before Parliament, will not be rejected. The lesson of the past two years seems lost on these prelates. They have not understood how a proposal of great moderation and acknow ledged wisdom proved abortive last session through the profound antipathy of Parliament to applying Public money to Catholic uses. The present propo- Bals are about as hopeless as any that’could be pro- pounded. England and Scotland will not listen to them. Even in Ireland they will not command the assent of classes interested in higher education, and in Parliament they would be mentioned only to ve condemned," Canada to be Consolidnied and Developed.

Spanish Interests at Halifax—An American Steamer Overhauled and Searched. Hairax, N. 8., Sept. 4, 1869. The American steamer Hornet, which arrived at this port @ few days ago, has been selzed by the cus- toms authorities of the Dominion of Canada, and 1s now lying at the Queen’s wharf, discharging her coals and stores, which the agitated Consular repre- sentative of Spain and the lynx-eyed official of the Custom House suspect of concealing arms and am- munition intended for the Cubans. There is con- siderable excitement, and the street is filled with rumors which are generally wide of the truth. The Hornet was formerly the blockade runner Lady Sterling. She 1s owned by William Rand, of Portland, Me. Her seizure was undoubtedly made at the instigation of the Spanish Consul, upon the afMidavit of a sailor to the effect that her supply of coals covered arms and ammunition. When the Hornet iret came into port she was boarded by the Custom House officers, and carefully scrutinized and pronounced free of suspicion. Her papers were ex- amined and nothing irregular was discovered, She had cleared at Philadelphia for Queenstown via Hallfax, and there was nothing to show that her voy- Sree ea age and destination were not legitimate. The The Cotton Supply. aliegation that munitions of war were LIVERVOOL, Sept, 4, 1869, concealed under her coais was denied under oath by the officers of the Hornet. Kvery facility was afforded the customs authorities for making @ thorough investigation, ‘This did not sat- isfy the Spanish Consul, and he demanded a more rigid search, which has been acceded to by Coilec- tor Barney. It is reported that the Dominion re- quired the Spaaish Consul to furnish securities to the amount of £30,000 sterling before proceeding in the matter, but this cannot be traced to any relia- ble source. Juage Jackson, the American Consul, has, I under- stand, entered his omcial protest against this latver proceeding, as he considers the evidence insuill- clent to sustain the allegations and the seizure un- warrantable under the circumstances. No doubt, ere this, correspondence has passed be- tween Secretary Fisn and Judge Jackson. ‘rhe pro- vinclal government of Nova scotia has reiused to assume any responsibility, and the onus of tue affair will rest entirely upon the Dominion government. The capt:m of the Hornet, W, H. Esling, 1s per- fectly cool and contident. He says that nothing be- side Lwo pistols can be tound on board, and is san- guine of making the British government pay deariy tor its precipitate action. The investigation will not be concluded before Tuesday, and is pretty sure to end in tne release of the Hornet and in showing that a ene has committed a foolish and costly under, End of the Ship Laborers’ Strike in Quebec— Emigrants Arriving.

The Byron “Scandal” Case. LonDon, Sept. 4, 1869, Mr. Willam Howitt writes. to the London News to-day on the Byron scandal. He says there is little doubt that the altered conduct of Lady Byron to- waras her husband was the result of her father’s representations, backed up by some odious story. He traces the conduct of the wife in buying up the husband’s memoir ana destroying it and asks tf the evidence of the party destroying the evidence of an opponent can be accepted. The same act of depriv- ing Byron of the opportunity for self-justification deprived the wife of the rizht to advance fresh charges. The writer feels certain that this will be the ultt- Mate verdict of the public, The Weather and Crops. Lonpon, Sept 4, 1869.

Tho Test Oath Question—Opinion of Attorney General Hoar, RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869, ‘The following is Attorney Genera! Hoar’s opinion, received this morming by General Canby :— ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, August 23, 1309 To the Hon. Joun A. Raw ins, Secretary of War:— Sink—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of July 27, 1449, in which you request My opiniouw “upon so much Of the questions sub- mitted in the letter of the Commanding General of the First Military District, ted the 10th inst, and accompanying papers, copies of which are enclosed, as refers to tl legal qualifications of officers to be elected under the pro- posed constitution of the State of Virginia; and bea peg Myla the question whether persons elected to office in such State, under said constitution, are required, by the supplemental reconstruction act of July 19, 1867, to take and subscribe to the oath pre- scribed or referred to in section two of sald act, be- es entering upon the duties of their respective omices, ‘The latter question 13 the only one indicated with such distinctness as to enable we to be fully satis- fled that its purport is apprehended, and [ there- fore confine my answer to that. By the statute of April 10, 1869, the registered voters of Virginla were authorized to vote on the question of the adoption of aconstitution for the State, and at the game time to elect oficers under it, subject to the approval of Congress, The vote bas been taken in pursuance of the provisions of the act, and the election held, and some parts of the consti- tution submitted have been adopted by the people and others rejected. The parts of the proposed con- stitution thus adopted, 1f they shall be approved by Congresa, will be the constitution of Virginia, under which all its officers will be required to act, ana the qualifications as _ well as the duties of these officers will be determined by it, When Virginia ts restored to tts proper relations to the country us a State oi the Union its officers and Legislature will be sach as the constitution of the State provides, deriving their powers from that instrument, and tt will clearly not in the power of Congress to impose any require- ment of additional qualifications upon them dif- ferent from those, which, under the constitntion of the United States, may be required in all the States, If, therefore, any tests were to be imposed upon members of the Legislature not provided by the constitution of Virginia, or any restriction imposed upon the people of the State in their choice of officers, not recognized by 1t and nov made applicable under the legitimate powers of Con- gress to all the States, the Legislature and officers would non my opinion, be the Legislature and oficers of Virginia under its constituuon. 1 do not see that Congress can undertake to furnish the State with a suitable Legislature to start with, or to exer- cise any control over tts composition which could not be exercised over sunsequent Legislatures. 1am therefore of opinion that the oath prescribed by the statute of 1562, and by tne statute of duly 19, 1867, chapter 30, section 9 re- quired to be taken by ail persons ‘elected or a pointed to office in the said military districts, under any so-called State or municipal authority,” is not to be required of the officers of the State of Vir- ginia, or members of the Legislature elected under the new constitution, It does not seem to me that the provisions of this ninth section, which are appli- cable to the government of the State under military authority, were intended to apply to the Legislature and ofMcers under whom the State ts to be restored to its proper relations to the Union, and by whom the government of the State is to be administered alter its restoration. This opinion ts strongly confirmed by a reference to the second section of the same act, which artho- rizes the commander of any district named in the act to suspend or remove from office or from tne Rew of official powers any officer or person olding or exercising or professing to bold or exer- cise any civil or military office or duty in said dis- trict under any power, election, appointment or authority derived from or granted oy or claimed under the so-called State or the government thereof, and to detail a competent officer or soldier of the army to perform such duties. It wouid be impossibie to suppose that Co! could intend that a Legis- lature, under the constitution of a State, could have its members appointed by a detail from soldiers of the army. The reasonable conclusion seems to me to be that tt was not intended that any sueh Legisia- ture should be aliowed to exist and act until recon- struction was completed, except for the limited and qualified pu requisite to reconstruction; but, on the other hand, I fully concur with the view of the General Commanding in Virginia; that under the reconstruction acts of y, i$ no officer or legislator is competent, or should be permitted to exercise any of the functions or power of his office within that State, except so far as those acts themselves provide, without taking the oath which is referred toin the statute of 1867, above quoted. The act of Apri 10, 1869, requires the lature to meet at a time which it desig- nates. That it is to meet implies that it is to come together for sume purpose. It is required under the previous law to act upon the question of adopting the fifteenth admendment to the constitu- ton of the United States before the admission of the State to representation in Congress. Tam of opinion, therefore, thac it may come to- gether, organize and act upon that amendment; put hat until Congress shall have approved the consti- tution and the action under it, and shall have re- stored the State to its proper place in the Union by recogpizing its form of government as republican, and admitted it to representation, the Legisiature is not entitied and could not, without violation of law, be allowed to transact any business, pass any act, or resolve or undertake to assume any other function of a Legisiature if the test oath has not been required of its members; and that no officer elected under the new constitution can enter upon the duties of his office without taking the oath white the military government continues.

RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869, Too papers to-day state that the Norfolk and Great Western Railroad Company concluded tta deiibera- tions in that city by entering into a contract for the gale of 60,000 acres of land, now heid or hereafter to be acquired, to the Vir. ginia International Land Company, composed of anumber of wealthy gentlemen of New York, several of whom spent two weeks in the early part of June in the examination of the country aiong the line of the pi ed railroad, Another important matter brought to the consideration of the Norfolk and Great Western Company was the subject of the consolidation of their line with the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad. The directors had an inter- view with a member of the executive committee of the road, and took the initiatory step for the pur- ose of making their road part of the Southern acific road. Acommittee was appointed to confer with @ committee of the Southern Pacific to make @ contract for the consolidation of the roads, Gift College. RICHMOND, Sept. 4, 1869. The Richmond £nquirer of this morning, speak- ing of George Peabody and his recent donation to the college over which General Lee presides, say His latest gift 1o this great interest is peculiarly gratifying to the Southern people. The South has watched with most appreciative interest the labors of General Lee to establish for her benefit a firat class college. Nothing tn the grand career of her favorite son has endeared him more to his coun- trymen than the self-sacrificing zeal in their behalf with which he has prosecuted this object since the war Mr. Peabody, following the promptings of a high-minded liberaiity, has donated $60,000 to Wash- n College to be appiled by General Lee tn cai rying out his plans for the extension of that institu. tion, The generous donor could not have appiled the gift in any way in which it would have conduced more to the object in view, nor could he have done an act more graterul to the whole South. Even his princety donations to Southern common school education have not a ened such @ feeling as will the comparatively email one to Washington Cotlege, The former were Piaced mainiy in the bands of men not of our sec tion, strangers to us and to our needs, and conse: uently it required time for us to be made to rea- tee the high purposes of the giver.

This treatment in- duced him to get arevolver, and he had occasion to use it before daylight yesterday mornifig, when he found another thief in the stable. This time the tn- truder ran when Eppennetter came upon him, and the latter drew his revolver and fired several shots at him, one of which must have taken effect, blood was found ya his tracks, but he escaped his pursuers, : Tan RigHTSs OF THE CITY TO BE MAINTAINED— No ENCROACHMENT OF SIDEWALKS.—Charles Kel- sey, Sr., and Charles Kelsey, Jr., were both arraigned before the Police Justice yesterday, the first for a violation of oration ordinances and the latter for assaulting Street Commissioner Furey while the latter was in the ae of his duty. ‘The diMiculty, tt appears, grew out of the action of the Street Commissioner in causing the removal ofa te which had been placed on Irving street, pear yan Brunt, thereby closing the public for about a biock to the water’s edge and depriving the city of the use of the water front as well. It was further found that @ warehouse in course of erec- tion on Irving street, owned by Mr. Kelsey, Sr., en- croached upon the sidewalk, which was ordered to be corrected. Yesterday morning the Street Com- missioner, accompanied by @ squad of policemen, visited the place ana ordered the work to be discon- tinued.

St. Louis people may talk about the removal of the national cepital to thelr city; but to juage from the multitude of St, Louis merchants now in New York, taking advantage of the low rates of freights to purchase goods, one would think that the capital of St. Louts was being removed to this city.

Return of the President to Saratoga—Closing of the Season—Politicians—Gratifying Con- dition of the RevenueI[mprovements at the Union. Sararooa Sprinas, N. Y., Sept. 3, 1369. The return of the President, rejoining bis family, who remained at tne Union during his absence ofi- cially in Washington, has revived (the attraction of Saratoga life, and, notwithstanding the incorrigible | fall in the temperature, a few new arrivals are notea on the registers daily. There is, however, a lament- able tninning out of the fashionables, at least so the ladies think. One of these interesting representa- tives of the human famuly last evening, while sitting in front of a biazing fire in the hotel parlor, with a heavy woullen shaw! drawa about her shoulders, with her eyes vacantly fixed upon the cheerful embers, with @ countehance drawn out in sympathetic unison with her feelings, suggesting forcibly the last rose of summer and the rapidly fleeting days of the season of gayety, in soliloquizing sentences and shivering accents ex- claimed, ‘Oh, dear me, how short the summers are, Everybody is going away. They go by hundreds and come by units. How dreadfully ionely itis get ting. Taree hundred from one hotel ina day. Only three arrivals to take their places. I wish it were July.” The words of the fair soliioquist here be- came inaudible, a few broken sentences occasionally, such as “Go home,” “Last days of the season,’? 1870," “Next summer,” “Fine time,’’ “New fagh- tonsa,” “Gayest season of all next year,” and #0 forth, wound up her lamentations. Those who are now arriving, after the butterflies have gone to their winter lumes, come here for & brief period to partake of the health-inspiring waters of the springs, and to enjoy, unembarrassed by the crowd, @ few days of reai recreation. The President, in visiting here with his family at this stage of the season, fairly ant much benefit in regard to health rest. He finds fre- quent opportunity of driving out and enjoying him- self quietly in his own way. A few political intruders, however, followed him up on the train yesterday, and up to a very late hour last night and at a very eariy hour this moraing these individuals might have been seen with wise faces and 1m occasional mysterious consultations in retired corners standing about the hotel watching forachance. A card drawn up in due form asking the President to name an hour for an interview was formally presented. These individuais have been waiting hourly for a bag ever since yesterday. It 1s very singular that a President cannot be allowed the ordinary privileges of other men, but that he must be bored and hunted down at ail times and under all circumstances. If the President wished to be annoyed in this manner he might have put up with the confusion of reno- vation going on in White House, paid no attention to the great coal, iron and ratiroad interests which he has been givi his personal attention; he might have sacri- ficed the pleasure of mingling with his fellow ctu- zens, learning their wishes and consulting their necessities in the prosecution hereafter of the details of the home policy of his administrauon, and given his summer montas to listening to the selfish inter- ests of politicians, and neglected entirely the good of those over whom he rules. If politictans had the common sense of other people they could easily see that they are not only injuring themselyes but ver, sana marring the peace and enjoyment of the Prest- ent. + One of the subjects which received the attention of the President duriug his recent visic to Washington was tae working of the revenue. He was exceed- ingly gratified to find that where less than $5,000,000 were collected on spirits during the latter part of the late administration over $59,000,000 have been collected irom the same source #0 far under the new order of things. Everything else in regard to the proceeds of mternal revenue its in propor- tion, From present indications next winter will see @ thorough modification of taxauon—the effect of the many reforms already set in motion by direction of the President, ‘The industries of the country will be beneiited; the people will be relieved of tne burdens imposed upon them by the irregularities which characterized the last days of Andrew Jonn- son’s term of office. The government already shows a healthy administration, and the whole land will be restored by its purifying influence. ‘The irrepressible Lelunas having catered to fash- fonable circtes in the conveniences and accessories of gay life, in numerous masquerades and balls, aud at the game time filled the pubiic, a3 well as se.ect stomacns, from their capacious larder, and addi few stone to the heaitny dimensions of one of t brothers particularly, have taken to the pick and shovel. Two days ago an army of sappers and miners were recruited and mustered on the grounds of the Union. To-day the work of improvement shows rapid strides, and by next summer, in addition to a large increase of “quarters,” visitors here will be surprised tosee the Union receiving them with @ smiling front of marble. In view of 1870 being the “biggest” season of all the past. the Union musi be equal to the occasion, and accordingly the new im- provements. ‘One of the surgeons to the Empress Eugénie was here several days ago, and after overhauling the Union gave assurance that two of the cottages at- tached to the hovel were just what would suit the Empress, He said the Empress wouid visit Saratoga next summer. Last evening, about an hour afier his return, the President, Mrs. Grant and the two children spent several hours at a private party at the residence of John A. Griswoid. Commodore Vanderbilt and bride, William H. Vanderoilt and the ladies of their party left here esterday ‘for the season.” Mr. A. T. Stewart and judge Hilton, with their ladies aud several friends, are sull here. SARATOGA, Sept. 4, 1969.

This afternoon the President received a despatch in re- gard to the health of General Rawlins.
