The House of Commons has finished the consideration of the Irish Land bill in committee of the whole, and expects to pass it and send it to the House of Lords next Monday. The bill lias been radically amended in some of its sections, and has been materially improved in some respects. All except the ultra- Home-Rulers are disposed to give it a fair trial. When the late Senator Carpenter, was re-elected to the Senate over Keyes and Howe, after having enjoyed a forced recess of four years, he had the photographs taken of his twenty-five adherents in the legislature who stuck to him from first to last. Perhaps Mr.

Conkling will imitate example, and get the group ot twenty-seven who voted for him until he was finally beaten. It might console him in his retirement. E. G. Timme, of Kenosha, and Ole t'.

Johnson, of Beloit, are making a vigorous canvass for the nomination of Secretary of State on the republican ticket. Both have got up electrotypes of their faces, and are having the cuts inserted in papers, together with all the endosements they can rako and scrape from every direction. They are both good men, both did good service for their country in the army, and both would fill the position creditably, but they show themselves somewhat boyish in parading their countenances before the public in cheap newspaper cuts. Neither them look very much better in the newspapers than the average patent medicine man, who thinks his overwhelming brow inspires the public with confidence in his curative powers. After a contest of ten weeks the legislature of New York lias selected men to represent the Empire State in the U.

S. Senate in place of Conkling and Platt. E. G. Laphom was elected to fill the unexpired terra of Conkling Thursday afternoon, July 21st, by the unanimous vote of the republican members.

Warner Miller was elected to fill the other vacancy the week before. Conkling and Platt are now retired to private life and two republicans who are in sympathy with the administration will fill their places in the councils of their nations. Eibridge G. Lapham, who has been chosen as successor, is a citizen of Canandaigua, in Central New York, is 67 years of age, and has been a member of Congress for six years. His term as Senator will expire March 4th, 1885.

The term of Warner Miller, his colleague, who takes place, will expire March 4th, 1887. He also is a member of the lower house. Saturday afternoon President Garfield had a relapse occasioned by a stop page in the wound. His condition was thought serious if not critical, and Di s. Hamilton, of New York and Agnew, of Philadelphia, the consulting surgeons were sent for.

They reached the White House Saturday evening and as a result of the conference of the resident and the consulting surgeons, it was determined to make anew incision in the back to tap the channel of the wound and relieve it of thejeonfmed accumulation of pus which had obviously caused the sudden and change in the ccndi tiou. The operation was successfully and the effect was as had been anticipated. The President again began to improve, and his condition is now encouraging. There is a general agreement however among physicians and surgeons, that, though President Garfield may survive his wound, he is by no means yet out of danger. The sudden favorable turn of last Saturday morning has given new occasion for anxiety as to the final result.

Hon. Nathan Clifford, one of the Justices of the United States Supreme Court, aged 78 years, died at Cornish, Monday, July 25th. The event has, for been anticipated, his health having been in a very seriously impared condition for several years. His ailments were mental as well as physical. Judge Clifford was born in Rummy, N.

August 18th, 1803, and removed to Maine at the age of 24. He was elected to Congress in 1838, and re-elected in 1840. He was Attorney General in the Cabinet of President Polk from October 17, 1846, to June, 1848, following which he was for some time Minister to Mexico. In 1858 President Buchanan appointed him an Associate Justice of United States Supreme Court, and as such until a few months ago, when he was completely incapacitated by disease. He was a member of the Electoral Commission of 1877.

We publish at the head of our editorial columns this week a call for the republican state convention which meets at Madison Sept. 21st. The convention is to be held much later than usual this year and the state campaign will be short in consequence, at which no one will find a great deal of fault, we think.

THE DUNN C( )UNTY (OUTLAWS. The Dunn County News brings details of the pursuit of the Williams brothers. It appears that the desperadoes have been soon several times since the pursuit began but usually by women or children. One of the chief facts from the reports of those who have seen the murderersleading to a belief that the pursuers were on the right trail, was the finding of the carcass of a steer that had been killed the night before, and an 8 pound chunck of meat cut out of its flank; also traces of a fire where the meat had been cooked. The News says: latest report is that the villiaus were seen in a thicket on the Eau Dalle river, near the mouth of ady Creek, by two children, Thev ran home and told ilieir mothers and the two women went with them and also saw the men.

A Mr. Howard, husband of some of the women, mounted his horse and rode to Sol Fletchers camp of the pursuers in that vicinity and a squad of men hastened to the spot. The outlaws had left the thicket and plunged into the woods about twenty rods distant. Their tracks were seen and the foot-prints made by the one wearing a moccasin was discovered. If this proves to he reliable the outlaws are doubtless working back to their old haunts at Hersey.

This will change tlie base of operations from Eau Dalle to a point further north, at the mouth ot Cady creek. The old stage road from Menominee to Brookville should be closely picketed to prevent the bandits from going north. If they can be definate 1 7 located and there is sufficient force in the field, there is yet a fair prospect to capture them. During the entire chase the outlaws have had great advantage over the pursuers. The forest is so vast in extent and its thickness so impenetrable that they could desire no better hidingplace.

They are familiar with the paths and roads and the nature of the country will enable them to elude their pursuers without much difficulty. If they are found it will be by accident rather than by any concerted action. Men could not be more untiring, presistant and vigilant than the party in pursuit have been, but Uie his are heavily against them. Still, we are not without hope that we shall be able to chronicle their capture next week." Gambling Wheat Deals. Supreme Courts of both Michigan and Wisconsin have both sat down heavily on the business of gambling in wheat In the case of Raymond and others against Leavitt, decided at the June term of our supreme court, the complainant had supplied with which to force up the price in Detroit, and cause a thus compelling those who had contracts to fill, or who must purchase for legitimate consumption, to pay more than would be naturally required.

Having lost 70 per cent, of the amount in this speculation the complainant brought suit to recover his money. But the court decided that dealers who manipulate the market in order to bring about unnatural fluctuations in price are engaged in the plainest an 1 worst kind of produce gambling, and come under the censure of the law of the laud. Such contracts cannot be enforced and if parties see fit to invest their money in they must get it back by other than legal measurses. The Wisconsin supreme court in the famous case of Barnard against Backbans, held that speculation in grain, where there is no intention to deliver on the one hand, or to receive any grain on the other, are unlawful and fall outside the protection of the statutes, the same as other kinds of gambling and The business methods practiced in the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce are but hazard upon prospective changes in the market, the sales are not bona fide no grain being actually delivered with the full price paid. Therefore any suits at law growing out of such transactions will not be sustained in the courts.

(Mich.) Republican, The Monument. at Clyde, Sandusky, Ohio, was unveiled a bronze statue of James Birdseye Mc- Pherson, near the spot where he was horn and reared and in the presence of 18,000 people. Ex. President Hayes presided over the ceremonies. Speeches were made by him, by General Sherman, General Force and Governor Foster.

A letter dated June 28th was read from President Garfield, slating that it was his intention to be present to honor the memory of McPherson whom he loved as a comrade and admired as a soldier. McPherson died so young, so brave, so cultivated, and so attractive, that he has a warm place in the affections of the Union army as a soldier who gave up his life for his country. touching letter to mother immediately after his death is justly regarded as an historic gem. President Hayes in his opening address instituted comparisons that some may deem extravagant, but which are not so regarded by the brave and true men who were acquainted with the extraordinary worth and personal attractions of this gifted and justly lamented American hero. The ex-President spoke thus feelingly: His name will forever be found on the shining roll of the best loved heroes.

Neither Bayard, nor Sidney, nor Nelson, nor Wolfe, nor any other knight or hero of the old world in any age has better titles to love and grateful remembrances than belong to him whose grave here at his birthplace we are now about to mark. The statue is the work of Louis Trebisso, an Italian artist who resides in Cincinnati. PRISON LIFE. Washington, July 25. Prison fare and dicipline have taken, much of the starch out of Guiteau, and have even had a good effect on his inordinate vanity.

When first confined he made frequent complaints of his treatment. He regard ed himself as an important personage, a prisoner of state, and demanded better care than was bestowed on Ids fellowprisoners whom he designated as common felons. He protested against being put on a level with the other prisoners, and said he was a gentleman accustomed to having the best of fare and in fact, to luxury, and insisted that he should be so treated. His demands were often made in an insulting manner and usually ignored. He is fond of writing about himself, and consumes every scrap of paper he can get in this way.

He has not ceased to complain and demand better his manner is changed. He is more subdued and apparently begins to realize that others do not regard the crime in the light that lie does. The other day he complained he did not get coffee enough. The warden allowed him two cups at a meal while the other prisoners get only one. his concession served to revive his spirit of seif-impertance, and lie forthwith began to put on airs again.

Then his extra allowance of coffee was cut off 1 whereupon he wrote a lengthy letter to the warden, couched in offensive and telling that officer that he was not fit to have charge of a man of such importance as Guiteau. The warden paid no attention to the letter except to determine not to allow Guiteau another favor, but to confine him to the most rigorous prison treatment. None of the guards are allowed to speak'to Guiteau. The warden and his deputy, and the District-Attorney and his assistant are the only persons who are allowed to exchange any words with the prisoner. When it is necessary lor one of these officials to sec Guiteau lie is brought into the office, locked inside with the official and a guard stationed at the door.

Guiteau has abandoned all his foppishness. At first in jail he was careful with his toilet but now he comes into the warden's room when sent for sometimes only half dressed. One time he appeared with only a shirt and pants on, with tlie pants rolled up, and the last time he hfd on nothing but his pants. He has never been changed from one cell to anotherjas reported. He is in the same cell that he was at first put in.

Corkhill's order to put him in solitary confinement and shut him off from sight of the others has not been complied with, as the jail has too many prisoners to admit this. Resides the warden considers present mode of confinement about as solitary as can well be in a jail so full of prisoners. Guiteau has no desire to escape. He knows the danger that he would incur outside from the popular indignation. He had first heard that the President was getting well from the talk of the guards.

He had been brought to the room to wait for the District Attorney, and while sitting there one of the guards remarked to another that the President would recover. To the warden and his deputy Guiteau makes remarks going to show that he anticipates a big sensational trial which will make him a central figure. The Indians of Wisconsin have gone into the secret society business and organized an association known as An investigation into the motives and inspirations of has lead the authorities at Washington to decline to pay the members their annuities until they take an oadi to desist from and forego a pleasure known as the medicine dance. The reasons given for this mode of procedure that the Dreamers so-called have organized for revolutionary purposes, and that they in conjunction with other wild men of the woods contemplate a general upraising against the whites. The first organiation of this character was effected by Sioux Indians, who made their appearance among the Winnebago and Indians of Wisconsin about three years since.

Since that time the order has assumed formidable proportions, re gular star chamber meetings being held at stated intervals. Parents must not find fault if their shoe bills are double what they need be, and at the same time their children's toes are ragged, if they neglect to buy shoes which have improvements that protect them from wear at the toe, and that are not objectionable in any way.
