moie ominous is the fact that the bulk of the
older members ot the party regard with in-
cieaslng disquietude the supiemacy ot
Chuichill. During tlio past week much quiet
discussion has been going on. The opinion
decidedly gains ground that the ministry
jeopardized Its chances by placing Glim chill

be no hope of recovery , for
lie lias to o\ercomc many deep
and well-founded prejudices , and to

are adequate to tiie inevitable demands that

at budget time lie has practically nothing to

constant attendance and sleepless vlgilanco.
Altogether it cannot bo doubted that the

not turned to account by watchful foes
without.
Hartlngton has almost as many points of
dlfTeicnco with Chuichill as Gladstone him-
self. Although not revengeful , ho cannot
easily forget the Insults hcancd upon him by
Churchill last November at Manchester. The
rock ahead is not so much Parnell as the
chancellor of the exchequer. A single grave
indiscretion may wicck the ministiy. In the
case of a man notoriously obstinate , inacces
sible to advice and fiery tompuicd , this la a
position well calculated to cause misgivings
in tli conservative ranks.

that of the Buchanan administration in the

holding was the difficulty of your statesmen
then , as landlordism in all its ramifications
Is the difficulty of our statesmen , and your
llartlngtons and Salisburys were for putting
off the day of settlement as long as they

WILIj DEMAND A STAinMnNT.
A demand w ill bo made for a general state
ment of tlm Irish policy which the govern

tory answer Is given the debate will likely bo
protracted and the lories will not bo unfairly

lor such a general statement as will make
clear whether tboy mean to adopt coeiclon or
attempt to cairy out measures of conciliation.
It Is almost ccitatn that they will elect to tiy
conciliation. In tills case , Parnell's
policy will bo to play a waiting game.
Jn no condition will Painell consent to
illow the lories to prorogue parliament till

piecaiious , They cannot do what they like

tor Salisbuiy and Cnurcliill. Their
only way is the adoption of
an Irish policy vhich Gladstone
may accept , and Gladstone will agree to
nothing which does notcouler effective homo
rule on Ireland. That is the ciude statement
ot the situation. Tlio toiles themselves be in
to see they must attempt a settlement of the
Irish difficulty on a bioad basis , and that
until this is done all stable government is im
possible. There is a noble softening of
opinion on the Irish question among the
geneial public. But whether this results

depends on the stability of the unionist alli
ance. Already it Is lu danger , owing to the
popular discontent at seeing the lories in
power. It Is curious to notice that bofoie
Chuichill has appealed as the leader In
the commons the unionist alliance
shows signs of breaking down. Still
more cuilous is it that the
first blow against the alliance is
about to bo struck by Cliambcilalns ,
old Birmingham friend. Unfortunately for
the Salisbiiry-Hartington combination , Mat
thews , whom Chuichilll Insisted upon mak
ing homo secretaiy , must bo ic-elccted by the
Birmingham radicals befoio ho can take his
peat on the ministerial benches. This , the
Biimingliam ladlcals say , they wont do.
SchnadheiMt Is pulling the whes against him
so thcio will be apietty light in the unionists
camp.
MATTIIKWS' UNrOIlTlTNATn POSITION.
In addition to being a tory , Matthews Is r
Catholic , and many ) eais ago was elected by
the Fenians tor Dung.iravan , when ho made
speeches about his old trlend 6'Donovan
Kossa , which will supply some inteicstliig
quotations as coming from the unlonlsl
homo sccietary of a toiy government ,
Chambcilaln used all his Influence to pievcn :
the Birmingham i.idicals from opposing
Matthews' re-election , but Schnadlior.st ha ?
been too much for him , Besides , Schnad
liorst has , amusingly enough , found an ally
in the toiy camp In the person ot Johnson
ot ISallykllbeg the notoiioui oiango leader
who denounces Matthews' appointment as
Jesuitism. So that between the icd-hot radi
cals and the true blue Protestants , tfio poor

what the unionist most fear is some bit of
clover tactics , which will force them to vote
ugalnst Gladstone , in order to keep the con
servatlvo ministry from defeat. lIs \ sal < :
the unionists will avoid thlsdllenima by tefiis
ing to veto at all upon such mo

amusing one. They abused Churchill so
much that now they find it hard to believe
him to bo a statesman. Like tlio crowd aroiiiu

Iwidly dining to hope lie may hatch into r
statesman , 1 find the general belief Is thai
the present administration will have a long

veloped by Churchill. If Chuichill shows
the statesmanship his fiimuls think hepos
senses , then it is said Sallsbuiy is sine of tor
jfarttof power , If not , then the tones w II
go out moie or less quickly , according lo the
degree of Churchill's falluie. So far as 1 cai
judge , Cliuiclilll Is expected to ilso tothU
ouieiKCiicy ns he has to past ones. Next to
Churchill , I think , the lories hope for some
dyi.imlto outrage or assassination. This
they claim , would make Knglaud conscrva

SalUbuij's tactics aie gieatly admired

Perhaps the most Instructive part ot this
little side shovy Is the selection by the Bir

Should Cook succeed It will bo a distinct tii-
innph lor Gladstone and will do much to dls
hcaiten and demoralize Hartlnglon's follow
ers. Chamberlain's falluio to prevent the
Birmingham radicals fiom opposing Mat
thews has naturally made ( lie torics
angry and disgusted. They ask ,
what good Is an alliance with
Iluitington and Chamberlain , if the radical
lank and file won't obey them. This little
ilpplo on the political sea has greatly dfo
conceited the suppoiters of Salisbury's gov-

However , this Is meiely an Indication. The

The contest In Blimlngham Is the first

WASIIINOTOX , August fi. [ Special Cor-
csiioiidcnco of the Bni : , ] There 19 vciy
itllo doubt that If tlio session uf congress
winch has just closed w.is now nssuinliHnjj
.lint . the first move to bo irmtlo would bo tlio
Milargcmcnt of our army. Tlio agitation of
.lie trouble \\llh Mexico dm Ing tlio past ton
ditys , growing out of the Imprisonment uf
Editor Cutting and others and tlio out mires
on American citlrcns generally on tlio
northern boundary of the republic , has pie-
cipltated a great deal of comment on the
arcvltyof our national police-force. While
[ lie Texas delegation In Coueiois , no doubt
liioimli designs of dlp'.ouncy and piopiiety ,
fail to look uimn the dllllcultyltli Mexico
as being In an alaimlng degree serious , the
impicsslon piovalls In diplomatic chcles and
imong men who know most about the exist
ing disputes along our southwestern bolder ,
Hint ( hero will yet bo bloodshed. A number
of prominent men In conmess hiuo said to
your correspondent dining the past week
lh.it they would not bo suipiised If the presi
dent should iqconveno congmss befote the
end of this month. It Is known that
the Mexican nutter has been the subject
oC serious discussion In the last two meetings
of the cabinet. Geucial Sheridan has tallied
with the president and cabinet olllceis about
tlio capacity of our army and about what lie
can do In the way of suppoiting any mo-
clam.itlon or demand made by the chief
executive.
In event of a fiKht with Mexico thcic would
Ijcless time for preparation than there would
1)0 if a war was biought about with any other
country. A fusllade would instantly spring
upon tlio bolder and would demand troops
Instantly. There could be no mature pro-
paiatlon for war , and thcro could bo no laws
enacted to meet the exigency. It would bo
almost like achief-ot-polico ordering squads
ot men to a special part of a city to quell a
riot. Sheridan expects to receive most assist
ance , in event of an immediate disturbance ,
from the state militia. A halt million troops
could be raised , and it is altogether prob.iblo
that anv disturbance with Mexico growing
out of the pending troubles could bo settled
without any special act ot congress , and it is
therefore not likelvthatan extia session will
be called even if the present negotiations for
an amicable adjustment tail.

A KI'.NTt ir.IXJ1t. :
Sonator.Joe Blackbuin , of Kentucky , en
tered the committee loom of Hepiesuntativo
Whaiton Gieen , of North C.uolina , tlio other
day during the sitting of eongiesIn his
arms hecauied a small package neatly put
up. A ctowd of southerners stood around
discussing politics and legislation. Tlio
Blue Glass statesman , wion utter entering
tlio room , burht lei tli bis enthusiasm by re-
maiking :
"Whaitoii. I have a presentfor you. Take
it it is a bottle ot thiity-slx year old whisky ,
smooth as oil and sweetas honey. "
Mr. Given , who is one of the most p.xton-
.slvo wlno-growois in tno United States , and
who knows what n peed aitide of drink is ,
took the bottle and thanked the donor. Sena
tor Blackbutn continued to stand in the mid
dle ot the lloorand smile. Finally he said :
"Thirty-six vears ago old Grandfather
Loclnaiio. \Voodfoid county , Kentucky ,
spent an hour nt my father's house. They
were old triends. 1 was a chump ot a boy
fifteen years old. Lochrano always pointed
mo out as a ilsing statesman and took great
pride in assuiingmy father that 'that boy
Joe' woulit bo in the United States senate.
On this occasion of Loclnane's visit to my
falhei's house 1 remember to have been with
the two men when old man Loehrane Mid
that ho had just inn off the finest barrel of
whisky that had cvei passed tlnough a Ken
tucky woi in , and that ho had hoimetlcally
scaled the bungs to tnat barrel , and did i.ot
propose to open them till 'that boy Joo' was
a United States senator. Well , to make a
long story short , Loclnano never failed to 10-
mlnd my father of his vow wncne\er J took
a step upwards. The old man wasl.ero a
few yeai sago when I was a member ot the
house , and i em Inded mn that he iiad that
bairel of liquor yet , which would not bi
opened until 1 was promoted to the other ender
or the capitol. A year ago the old man
Lochrano died. On his lips was a request
that his son should execute his pledge in
lefcrcncc to that bariel of whisky. At that
time I had been elected to the senate , but had
not taken my seat. The other day I iccched
a letter fiom young Locluano stating that
he had shipped to my address
sevoial bottles of whisky fiom tlio
bairel filled by his fat her more than a third
of a century ago. They coino up in this
shape [ holding up a quaitbottle scalded with
I'le'sentlv Senator 1'ugh entered the room.
Senator Blackburn Immediately piosentcd
him with a bottle of the liquor. Next day
Senator lilncUburn was in the same room
when Senatoi Pugh entered.
"Joe , " said tlio Alabama senator , " 1 am
not a begcar , but there Is a tiling 1 would Hko
to requestor you. "
Senator Blackbuin looked up at his friend
In surpilse , and expected a very grave re-
"That bottle of liquor which you gave mo
yesterday. " continued Senator Pu-jh , "was
tli smoothest and most oxlillaiating stimu
lant I evei tasted. It Is the clixer of life. 1
have two lilends In the senate who aio re
formed dmnkards. Now , 1 haven't much
conlldenro in leformed drunkards , because
they either become no account or leturn to
their dissipations. The Jiien 1 refer to met
Vance and Vest. They have not been woith
a Hit for senatorial work for weeks. They
are completely relaxed and lw\o no ambi
tion. "

which illustrates what 1 am trying to say. It
Is not piopcr for mo to use names , but the
stoiy goes.
Before Senator I'ugti could proceed fin ( her

of the "t-llxir of lllo" should ho dellveied to

"It was at that e.irly period In the rebellion
when suspects and consiilratois were being
anested and Imprisoned by the wholesale. A
letter written upon a printed sheet of paper
eh Ing the business of a piominent firm of
merchants in New Yoik and containing In
cendiary language towards the union found
Its way Into ihehamU of government olllclals
in the south. The declamations were penned
by a tra\ellng man who ropiesented tlio firm
mentioned in the letter head , Tim result
was the arrest of the miuclpal member of
the firm on the thaigo of conspiracy against
the government. The letter was signed In
such away as to not makn It perfectly clear
who tlio author was. and of course suspicion
boie herolly upon theiirm mentioned. Hois
a man well-known In * few York to day ,
Men were held In pilson at time on the
sllchti-it suspicion suspicion , In fact , more
slight than this one. Tlio wile of the mer
chant came to a friend of nilna In New Yoik
mmciliatolv after tlm arrest of tlio husband
and leituested him to communicate with
President Lincoln the fact that her husband
iad been nutated for somolhliii : for
wliieh ho was in no way lespon-
slble. My fileud nddiessed a note
o the picsldent telling him that
he man under in test vns not culltj of the
Misdemeanor , even In n eollatei.il or 11104
emote way. The wlf' > catuo heie. it was
11 o'clwk at night when she nutted. At the
lepot she tolil the cabman to drive to the
white house. The chlver expostulated with
ler , and told her Hint it was of no use to cill
it the white house at sueh a late hour of the
ilirht. She said It made no dluYienco , < lie
wanted to see Mr. Lincoln , and that he mint
irlvo her immediately to the executive man
sion , When she presented herself at the en-
ranee to the while house it was midnight.
Uvurj tlilnit was quiet. The < * oidon of police.
N cry strong at that time , turned out In full
foice. They would not listen at first toher
entreaties to bo admitted to tlio white house.
finally "he pievalled upon one ol tlio ollletis
o take the letter of intioductlon she had to
President Lincoln , who was then asleep. A
ninuto after the president had been awak
ened , his wile was heard In thocotrldor on
the upper iloor. lie appeared In his robe and
sllppeis. lie held the letter in his hand and
the tremor upon it indicated his feeling.
"Mia. - , tills case demands
Immediate action , " bald Mr. Lin
coln. "If > ou wlllcntako my arm
tvewlllpp Immediately to Secretary Slauloii. "
Acioss the lots nt a lapld tiaco went the tues-
dciit and the lady. Stanton was aroused
from his sliiHib MS , shown the letter by the
inesldent and lequested to release the pris-
> ucr. He wioto a dispatch ami handed it to
Mr. Lincoln and said ho would attend to tlm
matter turthcr In the morning.
"Like a lackey boy the president ami the
lady started towards tlio down town hotels.
It was 1 o'clock In the morning. Washington
was tilled witli revolutionists and would-be
asvasMns. Yet Mr. Lincoln never faltered
and seemed not to comprehend his danger.
When heai rived at the hotel with the lady
on his arm ho told her to goto her loom ,
sleep soundly , return to New Yoik in the
moinlng and that her husband would meet
lier on the dock. The lady could not bcllc\e
It , but Mr. Lincoln assined her that such
would bo the case. The picsldent then went
to the telegraph ollico , filed tlio message ,
which demanded the unconditional release ot
the prisoner , and icturned to the white house
alone.
"Sine enough , when the lady alighted from
the ferry at Now Yoik the next day. her hus
band was thcie to embrace her , I am in
clined to believe the millennium will come
befoio wo shall have another president who
would do such au act as this. "

Niw YOIIK , Aug. 7. [ Special Telegram to
thelJir. : . ] An aitlclo lias recently appealed
In several papers to the effect that General
Giant wanted to bo burled at Mount Mc
Gregor , and that ho left a letter expie-slng
this wish in plain terms. The reasons ghen
foi this desire on the part of the general , was
that his lifo had been prolonged by the pure
air of the mountain so that ho was enabled
to finish his book , and thus provide for his
family. This statement was shown yestci-
day to Colonel F. U. Giant. Ho read It carc-
lully. "There is no foundation for such a
story , " lie said with emphasis , as ho handed
back the printed slip. "My father never
wrote such a letter ; never made such a re
quest orally , nor , 1 feel sine , cvei thought ot
such a thing. I don't see how such a icport
could get started unless by some out ) who
have an intcie tin Mount McGiejrpr. "
"You do not think that the general could
have expiessed such a wish toother persons
than you ) selli1" '
"No ; I do not , for this reason : Mv father
never gave any definite expression about his
place ot burial till after 1m jest his voice.
Then , shoitly betoie his deatli. ho wiote me
a note on tlio matter. In this he mentioned
New York , Galena and St. Louis as the
ulaces tor his interment. Ho mentioned New
York ln.it and stated Ins icasous tor dcsliing
that lie bo bin led heie. These wore in briot
that lie liked tlio people and because tlio city
had become the homo ot his i.imily. Km-
thei moic it was the laigest city in the coun
try. Galena was his eaily homo and St.
Louis the place In which he began his man
hood's caieer. 1 read the note o\er and
over , and then told him that i wanted to
have him bulled in Washington. When he
heaid this he took the paper and toie it up ,
'I'eihaps , ' he Mild , 'my luneial may take a
public form. If It does , you must see chat
whoever I am buried your mother will have
a place beside mo at her death. ' This was the
substance of nil ho said or wrote about his

glowing restless. Many of them have largo

to till them. Mr. Oppenhelm , of the firm of
Levy Uiothers , says that his liun lias eiders
for 8,000,030 cigars , and on thiec-fouitlis of
these onlcis ho must have the Knight ] of
Labor label. With his picsoiit loico it would
take several yeais to fill the orders , and there
Is such a scaiclty ot Knights of Labor cigar
makers that the foices docs not grow. If
they take back the 1'rogiesshes , who arc on
a strike , they will bo in as bad a fix , us they
can't then get the Knights of Labor label.
The situation Is the same with other nianii-
lactiucrs and It was summarized by Air.
Oppenhelm as follows : "If wo have our
clgais manufactured by the Progressho
union wo can't get the Knights' label and
can't sell them. If w o don't have them made
by Piosressives wo can't havn them made at
all foi the piesent. I don't know what wo
shall do. "
Tlio munufactiiicr will have another con-

The genoial Inclination is to allow them two

requiiu about S50cona ! week to keep them
