A POLITICAL I'LACAKD. I
A number of placards wore postoc
in this city during last night , an
nouncing the formation of the nation
al association of Ireland , the object ol
which is the revocation of Irish legis
lative independence , ' and calling a
meeting for the 15th inst. , of those
who wish to enroll as members. The
placards contain hostile references to
the Dublin castle officials , and to the
government. It 'a not 'believed thai
these placards were posted by any ol
the regular organized Irish societies
here , but it is thought they wore put
up by some person opposed to them ,
who , seeing a favorable opportunity ,
wished to bring them into contempt
Earl Spencer , lord lieutenant of Ire
land , has decided to remain at his
post in Dublin.
NEW YORK ON THE LOOKOUT.
NEW YORK , May 10. Superinten
dent "Wciliug was asked this after
noon about the report that he had re
ceived a dispatch from Dublin detec
tive officers , announcing tha murder-
era of Lord Cavendish and Under Sec
retary Burke had escaped to America ,
and asking him to let the police keep
a lookout for them. The superinten
dent replied that ho had received no
dispatch , but said that hereafter ho
would answer no questions regarding
the matter , thus intimating that he
expected a message of that kind.
HOW GLADSTONE RKCEIVRO THE NKW8.
A cable from London says Glad
stone attended Saturday evening a
reception at the house of the Austrian
ambassador. While enjoying the oc
casion the first telegram from Dublin
conveying intelligence of the crime
was received , and was immediately
dispatched to the ambassador's resi
dence. It was delivered to Sir Wil
liam Vernon Harcourt , who under
took the task of communicating the
news to Gladstone. The premier was
quietly called aside and taken into a
jprivato room , where ho was informed
what had occurred. The natural pal
lor of the old man's face became ab-
Bolutoly ghastly , and , throwing up
both hands , lie staggered to a seat *
without a word. For a moment it
was thought ho would faint , and there
was a rush for restoratives , but ho
gradually recovered , and , refusing all
proffered assistance , demanded , in a
broken voice , to know the particulars.
At first ho would not believe the story.
After ho had beiome convinced that
there was no hope that reports had
been exaggerated , ho rallied , and ,
making a brief excuse to his
host , entered hia carriage and wa
driven home. Ho spent nearly
the entire night writing and
reading telegrams , directing to his
secretary and forming plans to meet
the situation. A summons was sent
members of the cabinet to moot him
at his house Sunday afternoon , and so
much other business of vital import
ance was transacted that it was 0
o'clock in the morning before the
premier returned to bod. Ho was up
again at 9 o'clock. The ministers
found the premier almost crushed by
the blow , but on the alert to meet the
crisis. . Ho listened to their suggest
ions almost silently , made but few
comments , although he penciled an
occasional note.

LINCOLN , Mny 10. A glimpse of
the hotels last evening reminded ono
forcibly of the excited gatherings
when the election of a United States
senator was on the tapis. The crowd
at the Commercial was ao donae that
standing room wai pretty hard to got , '
although there waa n * special subject
under discussion to give rise to all
thia interest. A good deal of sapient
logic waa evolved on the question of
apportionment , nnd the opinion gen
erally advanced by these of the mom-
bora proaont that the Burna bill
DID NOT DISPOSE
of the matter satisfactorily , and that
the counties of Lancaster and Doug-
as should not bo tied up together.
Thg ihombora from Caaa , Otoo and
Nomnha aoom to acquiesce in the idea ,
itating that there would bo no particu
lar profit to. them in having the
, wo large counMca in ono diatrict.
Dn the subject of the payment of tha
Btnto militia , there ia no disposition to
dispute thu right of the men to receive
; ho proper pay for their services. The
only matters of doubt on this point
are whether the officers are to bo
awarded fancy salaries for the time on
duty , and whether the railroads , in
whoso interests the soldiers wore
called in , are entitled to the payment
of largo bills for transportation. Thcao
matters will develop much more
clearly when thu bill ia introduced.
