statement that the uiaostone Ministry
had purchased his resignation by ap-
poinuoz him to the me posiuon or rea

The Lord Mayor of Limerick presided.
and speecues were maae Dy several
prominent Rentlemen, denouncing the
action of Mr O'ShanghneuT ana the
Government, and calling on all true
Irishmen to come forward and by their
votes ia the coming election for Parlia
ment show their indignation of the
Government's bribery system. and their
consideration . or the action or Mr
CShanbnessy in resigning his seat to
take a life position under the Govern
ment, for the purpose of electing
- member to Parliament who would act
- . in concert with the liberal party.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
Mr. O'sshanghnesay's address as an at
tempt to break the ranks of tbe home
rule party by one whosa every action of
the rast few months ana wnoe accep-
' tance of office under the Government
. shows clearly that he had been bribed
- to create confusion In the home rule
ranks, and, If possible, to turn the tide
- of politics in favor of the Loot, and
. asking Ma Parnell to immediately nom
inate a candidate. ' Undivided support
was pledged to any candidate whom "he
. -miff bt name.
Mr. Abrahams, th ex suspect who
ref ued to stand for Parliament from
the Limerick district, although proffer-
ed government support and assistance
to enable him to secure the seat, said in
an interview to day that tbe fact that
Mr. O'Shsughnessy had been- brought
over bv the Gladstone ministry to re
sign bis seat, was too palpable, and he
eould not influence tbe tide lor a home
; , rule candidate, although he was opposed
to the policy of that party.

cease and go with him to the Carolina

gon, about as large as a box car and
with springs like a locomotive's. The
wagon bad Just been received from the

pattern as the old one, but is mors sub
stantially built and has a finer trim. It

the mangled . remains of a negro man

to be George -Williams, and who bad
been run over and killed by tbe train
that left Charlotte the previous night
for Wilmington. The body was shock
ingly eat np by tbe car wheels, being;
ground to pulp, bnt not scattered along
the track as is usual in such cases. Mr
Ashford on finding the body, walked on
to Polkton depot and gave information
of the discovery, when a crowd at once
flocked to the spot. The coroner was j
sent for to bold an inquest, but np to
the time of tbe departure of the Char
lotte bound local freight, be had sot
arrived. At first, foul play was suspect
ed by! seme, who were disposed to be
lieve that the negzo bad been murdered
and his body placed on the track for the
train to run over, bnt an investigation
into the matter did not . well sustain
this supposition. It is thought more
probable that Williams had been steal
ing a ride on the' train and bad fallen

he has introduced on the various rail
roads in Virginia, The model is ex-:
bibited at Lyman & Thurman's, on

has attracted a great deal of attention.
the new invention is a double-flange
wheel which passes over split and bro

where the ordinary wheel invariably
flies the track. The introduction cf the
new wheel will require neither material
change nor any vast outlay of : money.
The only changes necessary will be to

east and put under the car as easily and

The Darning f Tiecy's Paper Hill.
- Mr. Richard Tiddy has not yet return
ed from Lin coin ton and but few addi
tional particulars of the destruction of
his psper mills could be learned. We
bear, however, ttat tbe loss is not so
great as was at first supposed. Part of
the machinery was saved from the fire.
It is the intention of the Messrs. Tiddy
to rebuild the burned mill at once. The
building of a new mill was in contem
plation before this one burned down
The Lincoln ton Press received yester
day says: "The fire is supposed to have
originated from a small fire, used by the
blacksmiths in finishing up some new
machinery for the new mill, near the
building. When first discovered, by the
hands at work in the mill, the fire had
gained such headway in the stock room
aa to preclude the possibility of extin
guishing the flames. The bailding was
totally destroyed , and the machinery
badly damaged. Mr. William Tiddy
estimates the loss on building and ma
chinery as not exceeding 9A00O. The
loss on stock is not more $2.5000. No
insurance. The mill will be rebuilt by
January 1st. The new mill 'will be in
operation in ten days, and for the benefit
of the brethren of the press, we would
state that their wants will be supplied
by the Llneolnton and H ew mills. The
lose of the Long Shoal mill will neither
curtail or cripple the operations of
Messrs. W. & B Tiddy." ; .

down south of us either had a lot of
snake bites to contend with, or else
ere a mighty dry set. Tbe prohibi
tionists, however, got to working on the
business, and soon put an end to it. It
s ajaharp dodge to ship liquor to a
customer ia a prohibition town, where
the sale of it is prohibited, for the ex
es agent to deliver the package C
O. D, and the matter being brought to
the attention of the'eoorta. a decision
was rendered that this waa not evading '
or circumventing the law, but violating
it, and notice waa given that if the bus!-
ta was "continued at the old stand"
indictments would follow. The traffic
s ia fall force when the law shut
down on it, and in some of the express
offices there's piles of Jugs and demi
johns stowed away, in corners waiting
for the blockade to raise, .

At no time since the second etefffJrvn
of General Grant has the Republican
party enjoyed the confidence of the na
tion.' At no time during these many
years has it been supported by a ma
jority of the voters of the country. Five
Houses of Representatives have been
elected within the last tenyears : only
in one of these five the Republican a
secured a majority of the members a
msjority so slender that at one time it
was doubtful . whether thev eonld nr.
ganize the House without outside help.
In one of the two last Presidential elec
tions the Republican party was defeat
ed, bat by unprecedented frauds retain.
ed the position of power which the peo
ple had denied to it, while the last
Presidential election was carried bv
wholesale corruption. Thefeelinrof a
majority of the nation toward that
arty is not merely one of distrust, bat
t is a feeling of utter disgust. ; : -

The funds of a political party should
come from the free gifts of all who
believe in its principles and its policy.
Candidates and officeholders should not
be called upon to bear all the burdens
of a canvass. Those who do not suffer
the annoyances of candidacy and office
can better meet tbe pecuniary charges.

give of their abundance, but nothing

profit by striking candidates, and liber
ality in gifts is exaggerated into one of
