E(Oz.ID -The debate on Lord Hartington's resolution condemning the foreign policy of the government has been continued through the week though little interest was manifested In it. Several speakers only had halfa score of members to listen to them. The great speech was, of course, that made by Gladstone. He said it was impossible to deny that the parti. tion of Turkey, if not as complete, was as greet as that of Poland. He desired the elevat on of the native reigns instead of the superoeesion of Turkey by another power, and complained -of the Government's policy from first to last. He said they must feel some shame when they looked upon the r' suits obtained, and whabt might have been obtained without so muhob bloodshed, if they had not jealously severed themselves from Russia two years ago. They had left Russia the fineet possible field for working against the pressem arrangement. He bad been associated with all thegreateet states men of England fir half a century, and did not hesitate to say that not one of theum would have imposed suhob a responsibility on the country. He oould not regard suhob a respon. sibllity as within the limits of reasonable statsemanshlp. He spoke for two hours end a half, his speeoh being generally considered one of the greatest of his life. On the e1t Mr. Lowe spoke. He aooused the Government of aoting a falsehood, when Sir Stafford Northoote, Chancellor of the Ex ohequer, rose to a point of order, that the Ian. .guse of Mr. Lowe was unparliamentary. The oaer ruled that as the remark was not ap plied to a member of the Government, it was in order. Mr.'Lowe then repeated his state ment when the Speaker ruled it not to be in order as bein applied to members of the GovernmenL. Mr. Lowe withdrew the expres. setn.

LYNoH Law nr MoNaos, LA.-On the night of thp 29th a party of masked men entered Monroe, took from the jail four negroes and banged them to an oak aree in the centre of the quare opposite the Court Bones. Three of the negroes were implicated in the killing of W. C. Fitzgerald les May, a white oonsta I ble at Trenton, who had attempted to arrest them for disorderly conduct on the streets, and one of them bad been sentenced to the pent tentiary for life and was about to be removed by the sheriff to Baton Bouge, While the other two of the Fitzgerald murderers bhad been re manded for a new trial, the jury baying been hung for several days by one Duncan Hill, a promainent negro politin, who is largely re sponsible for this summary act of justice. The feeling throughobt the parish of disap pointment at the escape of these men from punishment, b leh thbw bad ..served, was very bitter, both among the white and blaoks, but no one suspected that this method would be takes to esmry oat ine ends of the law, and all our good otlsens deepy regret this act of lawlessesam -t? fortretim -as a segro who was charged with wailaytog and merter Ing another negro in cold blood.

THE GERMABN ELECTION8. N. Y. World. July J8 The summer of 1878 promises to be the n busiest and most momentous in Prince Bis- v marck's life. In the two midsummer months be has set himself to restore the peace of Europe, to discover a moded viven di between the Vatican and the Court which announced its policy in the Falk laws, and tI to carry the elections to the Reichstag. t These elections take place next Tuesday, f the Assembly having been dissolved after is an existence of seventeen months-the con stitution provides for a duration of three a years--in consequence of its refusal to pas e the Anti-Sooialist bill. At the general election held January 10, it 1877 (and a few days later in the 70 dis- i tricts where at first there was no choice,) hi there were elected 3197 members of the h Reichstag, classifed as follows : National Liberals, 128; Centre, or Ultramontaoe party, 98, including 5 Protestants; Union iste, 37; Conservatives, 36; Progressiste, 33; Alsatians, 15 (of whom 6 favered local gi autonomy, 5 protested against the annex- t ation to Germany and 4 were Clericale); th Poles, 14; Social Damocrte, 13 ; members lo of a special group led by Herr Lowe. 11 ; i members of "'the People's party," 4 ; Dne S(from Schleswig,) and Independent., who st could not find a resting place in any h, of these parties, 7.

In 8 to The remainder of the votes were divided among the candidates of the minor groups rabove enumerated. Precisely why the Government should Shave forced a dissolution by bringing down two months ago the severely repressive of anti Socialist measures it has been bard ree for many people to understand. The at ng tempted assassination of the Emperor had ta- compelled the Socialists to disavow con mt neotion with the criminal or sympathy ad with his aims and methods, but the mass of the people held them virtually reeponsi er ble, and a strong reaction had set in aust re their doetrines among the very euae en where the Sooialist propaganda had pre va iously been most succeasfully prosecuted. re- When the Prussian Government brought o*. in its scheme for suppressing obnoxious P associations and prints, it immediately ,m checked the favorable reaction and turned s all the Liberal elementq to regard and o1 dread the return of absolutism rather than od the approach of anarchy. The Feudallsts of and not the Socialists became the objects eo of apprehension. It is suggested as a e- likely solution that the former really on thought it possible to force the bill through ne during the excitement, and to eomplete the success began with the withdrawal from the Cabinet of Dr. Falk and the Lib erals. It was, on the other hand, charged openly in debate that the Government had introduced a bill that it knew could not of be pased so as to obtain a pretext for dissolution. To our minds that would d amm at Ignat fa '"a e - h ypth.I... in the other. The National Liberals had not al been so tractable pa of yore; they had of defeated Prince Bismarck a pet scheme of 1g the tobacco monopoly and had refused to e.. sanction the transfer of the railways to the as state, and he may have believed that be would make a gain by an appeal to the a country. As against the Social Democrats .a he has certainly been helped by the second m attempt upon the Emperor's life, and uns o picions exist amtg the National Liberals 4, that he will weaken them by securing the or substitution of more amenable men for e some of their leadcrs. It certainly looked as if there were grounds for such a suspi cion when in Sonneberg Saolfeld (Saze r- Meiningen) Prince Bismarok's son Herbert d was found opposing the eminent National if Liberal leader, Herr Lasker, from whom ir and from Herr Bennigeen the Government's e support was withdrawn, the name of Bis ie marck being deemed such a tower of d strength that Count Herbert was preferred to the territorial lord and heir of the duke , don. Later mail advices, however, declare that ti.e young man would seek a seat e elsewhere. The whole empire, indeed, has e been "bhumming like a hive," what with h distieguished candidates and keen contro " versies. The Liberals of Kulmbach warn ed Prince Hohenlohe, the Ambassador to Paris, that they could no longer support his candidature because of his views on the tobacco monopoly, the army budget and the anti Socialist laws, but the Prince insists on running and pledges hisoat-and. out support to the Government. Herr a Delbrack is an Independent candidate for Jena. Prince William of Baden, brother of the Grand Duke. who in 1871 represent ed Brucheal as a National Liberal is now the Conservative candidate. The Ultra montanes have instructed their friends to vote with the Conservatives in districts where their own candidates cannot secure their return; in Dortmund for instance, Baron,von Bodelechwing, Conservative, is supported by the centre. Naturally, on the other side, the National Liberals and the Progreasists have been forced nearer together, and in Saxony have concluded a formal alliance. On the whole, even if it is sot likely that Prince Biemarck will come out of the confused contest strong enough to dispense entirely with the Lib eral National support which in times past has so often proved invaluable to him, T' it seems reasonably certain that he will improve his position, and be able to secure himself ultimately against the annoyances T he has experienced during the past eigh- mol teen months. tbe sell of 1 Las's Toxa NOT IN DAxoNr-The item viae going the rounds to the effect that "Gen.

The thoroughly disoreditable conduot of the mob who indulged their batred of religion on the ocoselon of the late celebration of the Mar eeilleeVow, by ralsiog a riot round the statts n of the great sad go d Bishop de Belz ince, is viewed in this country as well as elsewhere with feelinge of astolhment and disegoust.

These are the days in which the world is treated to a good deal more than enough of a goodorabad thing.

Tee latest son eation is In the singing line. Mrs. Mand Giles, a choir singer in St. Mary's Catholic Churob, Jersey City, has accomplished the wonderful undertaking of singing uninterruptedly for three hours. She undertook the task in order to illustrate tie ease with which one may sing when employing the methods of vooelisation in which she was educated. A reporter gives thbe following aooount of the performanoe: Mrs. Gilee began to slog t preoioely ten o'olok. "Leot me Dream Again, she sang at irst, changing then t 'She Wandered Dawn she Montsain Side," Mr. Jaeb aooompany·ing with pleasing trlls and vivacios "plum plume.

Meanwhile, although under the pleasant t singing the time speeding very delightful ly, Dr. J. Jay Watson, under wbhose oe Mrs o Giles appears, did all be could so make its passage seem still shorter. He spread abroad I information to the spot in the anditjriom, io- i troduced toe constituent parts of the spot to tI one another, and in timely comments displayed proper appreciation of point, made.

After all, the great problem of Irrigating the - Colorado desert may be sootmplibhed by nats ral means, and without the expenditureof vagt sems of money, as has been proposed. The servers made ln 1873 of the desett bylg west of the Colorado river, and exteoding ians Mexico, demonstrated fully that it was eat of from the Gulf of California by the sedimelt deposited by the Lolorado river. The old shore lines are distinotly recogniableo away up in San Bernardino oounty, and great b re of oysters and other marine ehells attest th- presence at no very remote day of sea water at plates from whbloh it I now 150 miles die - teant. The SBothern Paiflo Railroad romess this dried up part of the Gall, running for over sixty miles at levels from one to 240 feet below that of the sea. The Colorado river has depoelsted aend and mud along ite ooorse until Ilts ed is, in plmee. fully 400 fooeet higher bthn it woo In the old days when It emptied Into the Glf ast Jsees one hundred miles nearer Yome the it doe - now.

The head of the gulf the booeame a lake of mslt water, and he nog fed by no treams, gradually dried up. This dam now averagees height of only 27 feet above mean high tides. The Colorado now flws to the south of it, but some trifliag obsoge of its urrents yes oauoe it to out away the dam t tboe or and to reoonvert the desert into a lake. This does not seem as impossible as that tb river should abandon its old bed north oft ort Tama and fore. Its way through a rooky bill; yet we on me that the latter has actually oee. - .red.
