The Irish. Question.
Tho debate upon tho Irish ques?
tion in-the British Parliament, con?
tinues to bo interesting rather than
practical. The motion of Mr. Ma?
guire expresses nothing moro than
an opinion, and if adopted, the re?
forms desired may not bo made. The
Government's plan of a university
seems to be laughod at rather than
troatod as a serious proposition. Tho
land tenuro question, which is at tho
bottom of all the discontent, dires
not seem to be touched in the Go?
vernment scheme of pacification. In
fact, the ministry hopo to get over
that obstacle by failing to notice it.
It is, of coarse, very difficult to
know how to treat such a subject.
The land already monopolized in a
few hands cannot bo taken from
them, nor can running leases be dis?
turbed. How, then, is anything satis?
factory to be accomplished? The
O'Donoghue said the law should be,
that new leases should bo for terms
of not less than thirty-one years'
duration. John Bright thought that
the best thing that the Government
could do, would be to negotiate with
the land-holders and make the land
tho people's. The latter required
proprietary rights. Beside tho land
question, others were mentioned ns
exercising an important influence.
Tho O'Donoghue thought that there
ought to be independence in legisla?
tion. Upon tho tyranny of tho
church endowment laws, which de?
creed that Protestant clergymen and
a Protestant church establishment
should be supported by 'Catholics,
there was a general agrcoment. This
is, and will continue to bo aa long ns
maintained, ono of the most pro?
minent objections to the administra?
tion of affairs in Ireland, and it will
keep up an angry and disaffected
feeling, iu spite of any means that
may be takeu to allay it. The Dis?
raeli Cabinet do not intend to deal
with this question of relief to Ireland
in a liberal and honest spirit. It
' cauuot, therefore, bo expected that
tho measures proposed will bo suf?
ficient to patch up tho discontent.
Fenianism, says tho Philadelphia In?
quirer, is not to bc cured by pills or
plasters; it needs a potent medicine,
that will bo of sufficient virtue to
reach tho seat of the disease, and to
extirpate it thoroughly. Without
soiiio thorough proposition, time is
wasted over impossibilities, which
cannot bo of any avail upon thc final
settlement of the case.

TIJC New Orleaus Times calls atten?
tion to tho fact, that in 1857 Parson
Brownlow visited the city of Phila?
delphia for tho purpose of holding a
controversy with tho Dev. Mr. Pruyn,
on tho question : "Ought American
Slavery to be p rpetuated?" Ho was
thon a strong pro-slavery advocate,
and in his ..peech stoutly maintained
the affirmative of the argument. His
reasoning was mainly founded on
what ho then called his "teachings of
religion." In a burst of oloquenco,
ho told his hearers that, in the event
of a war (such as subsequently oc?
curred) between tho North and the
South, they would lind him and his
friends ready to "welcome them with
bloody hands to hospitable graves."
Yet this man is now tho radical Go?
vernor of tho State of Tennessee,

THE BESUI.T IN NEW HAMPSIUKE.
It appears that tho Republican ma?
jority in New Hampshire, this year,
is only 2,530. In 18G5 it was 6,127;
in 1806 tho majority was 4,65(1, and
in 18?7 it was 3,146. The Democratic
Sain since lust year is 616.

progress of crviliEation, indicated by
tho increasing liberality pf sentiment
manifested by European .nations to?
wards tho jewB.' Through a desert
of norsnrint'rtr). ??or'gey und bitterer
by far than that which their fathers
had to traverse after their escape
from Egypt, they have struggled for.
many centuries, until, in tho morn
enlightened era which lins dawned
upon the world, they seem at last to
be fairly emerging from their tribu?
lation and entering n laud of pro?
mise. Eveu after physical torture,
and repeated efforts for their exter?
mination had ceased, it was sought
by social ostracism and a deprivation
of civil and political rights to de?
grade and isolate them; bnt the
vitality and energy of the Hebrew
race proved irresistible, until at last,
without surrendering aught of its
distinctive religious character, it has
obtained recognition and respect
from the most powerful empires of
Europe. This is not because the
Jewish religion is gaining strength,
but because tho true spirit of Chris?
tianity, which is a religion of charity
and toleration, is becoming more de?
veloped.
"Something's up." Tho row has
begun. Thc rudicnl managers are
already in hot water; and tho pro?
babilities are th ut the cooks will spoil
the broth. An informal caucus of
tho State Central Committee, tho
Grnnd Council of the Union League,
and members of tho Convention, was
held at tho Club House on Tuesday
evening, and the pow-wow was any?
thing but peaceful. Grave charges
were made against some of tho graud
tycoons of the new party, and threats
of public exposure were mingled with
curses loud und deep. It appears, or
rather it is all?gea that money lias
been freely oollected'froin sundry in?
dividuals for electioneering pnrposes
and the payment of miscellaneous
"incidentals," connected with the
several plays that have been perform?
ed upon tho radical boards, and that
tho treasurers have refused to render
an account thereof, all of which has
very much disgruntled tbetoctbrs in
the drama, and aroused suspicions of
foul play. During the caucus, l?obt.
Smalls, n colored delegate from
Beaufort, gave public notice that his
District would not support C. C.
Bowen ns a candidate for Congress.
The inhabitants of James and John's
Islands are likewise opposed to the
nominee, and Colleton is said to be
' 'shakey. "- Charleston News.
While the rebellion lasted, the
North never accused tho rebels of
cowardice. On the contrary, we
r;ave them credit, for pluck, audacity,
daring, endurance and a determina?
tion that only death and ruin could
break. Those who confronted the
enemy in the field were not tho le;ist
ready to allow bim the possession of
these warlike qualities. If any ono
spoke contemptuously of tho rebel
spirit, it was not the soldiers who
closed with them iu the struggle, nor
tho leaders who attempted to over
j como them in tho conflict. There
can be. no harm in remembering this
fact in these days, when the Noith is
dealing with n prostrate South.
There eau be no harm in our treating
the Southerners os though they pos?
sessed all tho bravery which wo put
to their account in the days of war;
and there eau be nothing but harm
in treating them as though they had
given us reason to charge them with
tho spirit or bearing of cowardice.

i Norwood; or, Village Life in New
England! By Henry Ward Beecher.
New York: Charles Scribner & Co.
At the request of tho indomitable
i and enterprising Robert Bonnor, of
; the New York Ledger, Mr. Beecher
i undertook to write this now famous
novel. In his preface, tho author
! naively remarks: "Had it been a re
i quest to carve a statue or build a
i man-of-war, the task would hardly
i have seemed loss likely of nccom
i pindi mont." It was accomplished,
j however, and those who did not read
Mr. Beecher's novel in a serial form,
1 have now the opportunity of perus
i ing it in a moro satisfactory shape.
Simply as a novel, there have been
j written many bettor works than
j "Norwood;" but every chapter of it
1 bears tho marks of a superior mind,
? of un original thinker, and for these
' reasons "Norwood" deserves tho at?
tention of those who consider novels
! as too light reading; and for the same
! causes "Norwood" will bo rend and
i admired when many popular novels
