EXCITEMENT IK THE HOUSE OP COMMONS.
London, July 22.—1n tbo House of Commons
this afternoon, Disraeli announced ttiat the
Government bod abandoned tbo Mo roll ant Ship
ping bill for Ibis session. Ho expressed a hone
that the session would bo closed on the 10th or
12lb of August, and possibly earlier. I’llrasoll
followed in a speech, in which bo violently at
tacked tbo Government, sayings “The conse
quence of an abandonment of the Merchant
Shipping bill would bn tbo destruction of ibou-
sands of livefl." Ho spoke vehemently aud ex
citedly, used extraordinary epithets, stamped
lita feet, and gesticulated wildly, starting
tbo Ilouno in an uproar. Disraeli moved
that Plimsoll bo removed from tbo Houso. Tbo
Spoakor ordered Plimsoll to withdraw bis re
marks, and ho wont out, shaking bis flsto at tbo
Government benches. The House then consid
ered tbo action proper to tako in regard to Pllm
soil's conduct. Several speakers urged bis ex
citability as au excuse for bis offense. Debate
on tbo subject was Anally adjourned till Thurs
day next.
London, July 22.—The scene in tbo Tlonse of
Commons ibis afternoon, caused by tbo violent
speech of Plimsoll, was unparalleled. Plimsoll
first earnestly implored tbo Government not to
send thousands of persons to undeserved and
unhallowed graves through tho conduct of ship
owners of murdorous tendencies. Upon being
called to order, bo advanced to tbo tablo and
gave notice that he would nnk on Tuesday next
whether certain vessels which bod been lost, en
tailing great sacrifice of life, belonged to Mr.
Dates, member for Plymouth. Plimsoll added,
that bo was determined to unmask those
villains.
In reply to tbs Speaker be said bo applied that
expression to members of tbs House, and refus
ed to withdraw it.
Ur. Sullivan, after Plimsoll had left tho
chamber, apologolicailyjUiutod that be was mo
montaiily insane.
Mr. Hates subsequently made a personal ex
planation in regard to tho remarks of Plimsoll
concerning himself. lie acknowledged that bo bad
lost five ships during tbo last two years, but
said they wore well equipped, wore classed A
No. 1 at Lloyd’s, and were only Insured for part
of their value. Ho expressed pity for Plimsoll,
who, be said, was not responsible for bis ac
tions.
T. E. Smith and Sir. Bathbono crotostod
against the Government's course. They de
clared that the ntisponeo and uncertainty which
would bo produced by the withdrawal of the
Merchant Shipping bill would be injurious to the
shipping Intoreßtß.

Hamilton, Undcr-Secrotary of State for India,
in reply to an interrogatory, declined to submit a
correspondence in regard to the diflicultieß with
llurmah, but said bo hoped that they would bo
amicably adjusted.
Till! CONSERVATIVE ritOOBAMME.
Disraeli stated that tbo Conservatives, at tboir
meeting to-day, adopted some resolutions which
it was unnecessary to explain.
It is rumored that there will bo fresh trouts
in tbe House whon tbo motion to abaudoo the
Merchants’ Shipping bill and proceed with the
Agricultural Holdings bill comes up.
THE COTTON TRADE.
LiviurooL, July 22.—The i'oaf declares that
nothing has occurred to cause the slightest un
easiness in tbe cotton trade, and that tbo reports
to tbo contrary are sensational.
THE RIFLEMEN.
London. July 32.— Tbo Elcbo challenge shield
match, at Wimbledon, Is on. The attendance is
email. The ranges are 800, 000, and 1,000 yards.
The possible team scoro at each range is 000
points. Tbe shooting at the 800-yard rango was
completed with tbo English eight score 513,
the Irish 603, and the Scotch 498. la shooting
at the second range the Irish eight scored 627,
the Scotch 611, and tbe English 604. Victory
for the Irish team is now believed certain. The
American riflemen are keeping the targets for
the Irishmen and superintending their shooting.
There has been a considerable Increase in the
attendance since this morning, and more interest
la also manifested.
Later.— The Irish eight won the Elcho chal
lenge-shield. Tbo score was t Irish, 1,600;
Scutch, 1,503 ; English, 1,502.
Only during tbe shooting at tbo 1,000 yards
range were tbe contestinta in the match for the
Klciio Shield favored with bright weather. Af
ter the victory of the Irishmen, Wells, Captain
of the English eight, called for ohoora for the
Irish team, which wore given.
Aborcom, Captain of tbe Irish eight, spoke in
response, and called for cheers for the Bcotch
eight.
Dunlop, Captain of the team, in speaking
complimented the American team and America.
Col. Ulldersloeve returned thanks (or the favor
able remarks regarding his country. In regard
to the hope that had been expressed that an
American team would compute at Wimbledon in
1870, be said: In Philadelphia, in that year,
wo hold a National Centennial celebration, and
we invito the rifle teams of tho civilized world to
a friendly contest tbeio. Should that be accom
plished you will see an Amoticau team at Wim

ritERA-QUARRELS.
tint York
Pants, July 7.—Within the pest few days (he
Parisian press has broken out into & state of vio-
Icnco entirely unprecedented in my time. 1 have
eoon a groat many Journalistic quarrels boro, and
a great many duels, but I do nut remember an
epoch resembling the present. Generally (hero
is sotuo show of courtesy in these newspaper
quarrels, and writers conduct themselves like
gentlemen, hut Uiey now seem to liavo broken
away from all rcstiamts winch polite intercourse
imposes, and indulge in a violence that w en
tirely unprecedented. They call each other
names, and use very ugly epithets, Idling col
umn after column of tho richest billingsgate it
is impossible to imagine. Naturally Paul do Cas
saj'nac has a dozen men upon him at kins mo
ment. and I begin to think that some of them
are taking advantage of tho public cath ha took
some ten years ago never to send another chal
lenge. lie had then pinked hw* eighth or ninth
man. Paul will not send a challenge to any
man, hut bo does not often refuse one when
sent to him, and recently came out of but seven
teenth duel triumphantly. Now bo has a croud
of men abusing bun bko a pickpocket,and bo re
turns tho fire in terms oven more violent, telling
bis adversaries that they know where to find
him if they want him. Of course, considering
his past career. (Inn will he interpreted solely to
the disadvantage of Do Ctssagnac, for it will bo
said, no account being taken of the provocations,
Hint bo is inviting Homo one (o tread upon the
tail of ms coat. There is an extremely violent
quarrel between young Dohrousse of tho J'rrsrc
and M. Do Yilllomebsaut of tho Figaro, in which
tho young man uses language which can hardly
bo justilied when speaking of a man going bn
7(1 years of age. The quarrel arose iu this
way: In editorial council the Figaro men
were discussing an interesting pioceol nows just
purchased from a reporter, and one remarked
that it would surely ho stolen, and proposed to
change a certain number of words. and to make
a voluntary error, to bo corrected the next morn
ing. The Press? was caught with its hands iu
the Figaro's sack, having "given the item os us
own with tho errors and changes. Al. Do
biansso was furious when taken to task for
this offense, and began to abuse M. Do Ville
niCßsant personally, calling tiha a swindler, a
black-mailer, a general sort of a rascal, and
other names of the kind, referring particularly
to bis failures. Do YlUomeaaaut did fail twico,
but compromised with his creditors for about
ono-fomth of their duos; but loot year be paid
every one of his creditors the ajjouut in full
with interest, in some casus (or (noutyycais, or
double his original debt. This wan a case of
probity which young Dobrouese, who is tho sea
of a rich parvenu, (ailed to note, and bonce did
the aged Journalist groat injustice. Thin matter
has boon taken into tbo law courts. Tho two
reporters first concerned wont to Holland
day before yesterday and bad a duet, in
which one woo wounded. Louis Youillot
has two or tbroo quarrels on band,
and Kdmond About bos soma also; still
another is that between M, Oambotto, as direct
or of La Jirpnbliquf Francaise. and Al. Grantor
Do Cassagnac, nu editor of L'Ordi'e. Hie latter
was accused of venality, having received a cer
tain sum of money from tho Kmporor for his
Journal. 110 wrote a very polite note, saying
that an eiror had been made, and that this
money was not for himself, but was intrusted to
bim for distribution among the “union of Con
servative Journals" Minting at that time. 11.
Granier sout an indisputable proof, containnd in
a legal Judgment iu his favor, based upon a charge
that he bad uo*. distributed the money accenting
to the Kmporor’s intentions. AI. Ciambctta’n
paper paid no attention to tbo correction of tho
proofs, but repeated tbo abuse, whereupon
Oranior do Cassagnoo challenged Oambotta. The
former is over OU; Oambotta ib under 40. Tho
latter declined to tight, and lost night 11. Orauier
eftVH that if ho cannot roach his Influlter with bis
sword, bo will do so with his boot one of these
days. Several other Journals oro engaged tn
similar quarrels, and tho spectacle now presented
is probably unique iu tbo history of Journalism.
Of course tho Journals sell like hot cakos, tli6
crowd rushing to the kiosques every day out of
curiosity to see bow much mud the editors ore
throwing at each other.
London Standard,
Pauib, June 6.—To-day what oogrotwcs Paris

tween M. Dobrouseo, tho editor of the Frensc,
and M. Do Villemossaut, of the Figaro, and be
tween the Jiepnbliqiie lYancaiso and M. Du Cas
sacnao, Sr.. The position of the former quarrel
will bo understood from the following letter m
the JVewe of to-night:
To M, lie ViltnnAucmt, Editor qf th* Ftyaro—fitn:

your impudence, and the proof baa been given. To

You lie. 1 have had the misfortune to meet you sev

You lie, 1 repeal that, according to your shameful
system of Intimidation, with (he object of extorting
money, you have threatened me fur months past with
the publication of my family affairs to which you re

from you, and all the precaution* of a man cunning
in calumny will not succeed la shifting it on ay shoul

please, but don't talk about honor, and don't pull the

Washington. D. C., July 22.—Tbo National
Jifpuhlican in authority for the statement that
tho Cuban situation was ono of the questions
yesterday considered In Cabinet meeting. It
will to-morrow publish a double-leaded leader
foreshadowing a change In tho Cuban policy of
tuo United Slates from ono of inert sympathy
and strict neutrality to ono of comparative and
natural fraternization with tho patriots. The
following are some of the points of tbo editorial:
The Cuban war baa existed since ISCB. Haifa
dozen treaty powers have recognized
Cuba* Tbo time to near wlicn tbo
interests of humanity will demand that some
preponderating authority shall interpose to put
an end to tho strife. It in not exaggeration to
eay that more than 200.030 human livoe have
been sacrificed by disease and the caausltios of
battle since tho rebellion began. Spain hoe
made no headway—on tbo contrary, the patriots
bare advanced step bv step from a comparative*
ly insignificant away over a small portion of tho
island until they have now absorbed its richest
and most fertile geographical divisions. The
Interior, of the island {rays tribute to
tho patriots, furnishes them with recruits
and supplies, and only pays been to the Spanish
authority whoa the presence of Spanish troops
makes it compulsory. Tho Spaniards have
failed to redeem a solitary pledge made in pur*
auAuco of tho diplomatic intercourse occasioned
by circumstances attending tho war. I‘oiritedly,
the United States has been deceived in this re*
gard, or put off with weak excuses so many
limes, and m so many wavs, that patience has
almost ceased to bo a Tit ian. Tbo abolition of
slavery on tho island, promised years ago, lias
not been attempted. Embargoes upon the
estates of American citizens have been
continued in violation of solemn agreement.
Tho payment of acknowledged indebtedness to
American citizens for injury to properly baa
been procrastinated. Delays and prevarications
in tbo trariHaction of business between tbo two
Govorumouta have occurred so frequently, and
in such a way. Os to bo liable to tbo construction
of indifference ou tbo part of Spain, if not in*
lentioual insult.
There is no authority for staling that this ar
ticle contains tbo opinions of iha Adixumstra
tion.
FISHER.
oxb bst or ms omciAi. aoti.
Special JhtpsiteH to The Chicago Tnhunc,
Wasiiimuton, D. C„ July 22.—District-Attor
ney Fisher will be, clearly obliged to go. The
evidence against him rapidly accumulates to
show bin uufitness for the office. TboiTtvnmtf
Star , which bee been a friend of Fisher, says
among the numerous charges against Attorney
Fisher is one that be conducted the negotiations
on behalf of the Government in the transfer of
the property necessary for tho extension of the
Capitol grounds with a looseness inexcusable.
Tbo particulars of this transaction are said to be
as follows: On tbo tilb of May, 1672,
Congress passed an act providing for
tho enlargement of tbo public grounds
around tbo Capitol. This act stipulated that the
Department of the Interior should purchase
such property as was needed at its cash value or
at a sum not to exceed the appraisement made
by a commission of nine; that before sacb pay
ment shall bo made tbo owner or owners of the
property purchased shall, by good and sufficient
deed or deeds, in due form of law and approved
by tbo Attorney-General, fully release and convey
to tho United Slates all and each of their
several and respective rights in said titles to
sneb lands and property so purchased. After
having satisfied himself that the title was clear,
Attorney-General Williams directed Judge Fish
er, as United States Attorney for tbo District,
to prepare the deeds and other necessary con
veyances. This Judge Fisher did. Tho deeds
aero approved by the Attorney-General, sod by
bimeontto tho Department ol tho Interior,
which was made under the law the custodian
thereof. It is charged by the property-holders
that Fieher, although a United States
officer and acting for tho Govern
ment as tho purchaser, made them par
him for such service iu prices ranging from S2O
to fSOO each. The property-holders demurred
from such payment because of the fact that the
Government was the purchaser, and tho usual
rule is that purchasers of property, ami not the
seltvis. pay for tbo conveyances- They claim,
too, that his charges were exorbitant, because
the only service be rendered was mere mak
ing out of the deeds, the title having been estab
lished by the Government/ It would appear, in
the light ofrecout development, that Fisher either
failed to have the deeds recorded or that the
tax-gatherers of the District have levied tribute
ou private individuals to nay tho Government
obligations. It Is alleged that the publication of
property to be sold for delinquencies iu taxos re
cently which filled the columns of a morning
paper disclosed tbo unpleasant fact that all the
lots on the enlarged grounds bare been assessed
in the names of tbo previous owners. In oilier
words, no notice la taken of the Government's
i occupancy of this. ground. This could only
have arisen either from a failure to record the
deads, or shows glaring deficiencies and errors
in the District plat-book, in short, the Govern
ment has no official record of being the owner of
its own real estate.

V?ABm:.QTON, I). C.| July 21,—The relative
value of compound and ordinary engines as to
the speed that can be obtained with the least
coat has long been a subject of dispute. The
Bureau of Btoam Engineering of tbo Nary De
partment for two years has been experimenting
upon this question with engines of the two dif
ferent cissies. The result from the three ves
sels,—Swstars, Plymouth, and Omaha,—as
shown by * the steam log-books, has Just
been ascertained. The Bwatara, with a
compound engine, on its recent cruise
around the ( world, during which it was
compelled to use coal of inferior quality, aocb as
It could obtain at the different coaling atatioui.
obtained one horso-power with 3>j pounds of
coal per power. The Plymouth, with common
engines, obtained tbo same power at an expendi
ture of pounds of coal. Tha Omaha, also
with common engines, obtained tha same power
with the use of 6 pounds of coal. Tha result uf
the experiment is very plainly in favor of tha
compound engines.
CITY POS-nUSTE&a' UONDB.
The Poelmaater-Ueuoral to-day commenced
thu consideration of the revision of tha bonds of
thu Postmasters m all of the great cities- This
was done at the iuatance of Postmaster Hurt, of
Boston, and the Postmasters of other large
ettiea whoso bonds, owing to tuo rapid increase
of business, have become enormously large. Iho
bondtpf tbo Postmaster#, at all of these cities,
although tbev hold no Government money in
their possession after banking hours, are very
large. The Postmaster at Boston is obliged to
give an aggregate bond of $700,000; the
.Postmaster at N«W Turk a large* bond i
tbe Postmasters at Chicago and St. Louis about
$400,000 each. Tbe snb-Treasnrers In tbs same
cities, who bold millions of Government none?
the entire month, give hoods for scarcely one*
third the amount required of Postmasters. The
Postmaster-General has deemed to change the
basis upon which tbo I’ostinnstnrs'nritids are
given, and to fix them on an entirely different
basis. Tbo bond* for tho stamp account are to
be made to conform somewhat to the manner in
which Collectors of Internal Revenue are made
accountable for reveuuo stamps. ‘I he
general result will bo a reduction of
at least one-half of the aggregate amount of
bonds in all (he great Post-Offices. Tbe bond
for tho Boston Post-Office will be reduced to
about $25,000, Postmasters. In explaining their
experience In scouring bonds for tbeno largo
stuns, bavo made some amusing statements.
Tbo Postmaster at New York finds that, bj
trading nearly every place in Lie office to politi
cians, ho could give tbo necessary bonds. The
Postmaster at St. Louis says tb&t by disposing
of every office under Ins control and mortgaging
tho Post-Office building iiaolf be might possibly
bo ablo to mako the bond.

tbo firm. Thor announce tbo estimated liabilities
to bo $195,63:1.(11, and tbo assets to bo estimated
at $ 135,030.11. Tbo firm did a heavy business,
having large yards at tins place and at Halloo,
lad,, as well. At tbo latter place they furnished
employment to ovor 1115 man, upon whom the
blow falls very heavily. Tbo canso of tbo failure
is tbo continued prostration in tbo cooperage
market, sad many bad debts which could
not be realized upon. Only last week a fire in
a yard of tbo firm bore-destroyed about $‘.10,000
worth of slaves and manufactured barrels.

all its available assets, and it is hoped the result

Ar*f—Wo do hereby declare oar unfaltering devo
tion to the cardinal principle* of republican Govern
ment enumerated by Thumaa Jefferson; tbe preserva
tion of flio General Government In lla whole constitu
tional rigor aa Uia shoot anchor of ottr peace at home
and safety abroad ; supremacy of the civil over mil
itary authorlfer; economy In public expense, that
labor tnsy belightly burdened; the honest payment
of our debts ami sacred preservation of pn olio faith;
the arraignment of all abuses at tbe bar of publio
ivason; freedom of religion; freedom of tbe press ;
freedom of person under the protection of habeas
corpus, and trial by juriee impartially selected,
Heooiut— Fledged to this creed of political faith, we
do further resolve that we protest against the hardens
of a high protective tariff u needless exactions from
a people already Intolerably oppressed by a gigantic na
tional debt, and that we insist that the tariff bervgu-
Utcd so u to provide only sufficient revenue for gen
eral uses, and not fur tbe phrpose of enriching the few
at the expense of the many: that we protest against
the multiplication of Fodem offices, the assignment to
them of unusual high salaries, sod the abase of Fed
eral uatrutioge, which leads to dwarf the stales and in
corrupt free lustltutlons.
Third— That agriculture, manofact area, and com
merce should bo tbo equal evt of well-regulated Gov
ernments. Tho obstructions of to-day should be re
moved, but no favoritism abonlj bo extended to olthc*
at the expense of tho others; ' that labor mad capital
are mutually dependent, amFeqoal justice demands
that IcHialatloo should, m far u practicable, harmon
ize their conflict*, and prorent the one from oppress
ing or obtaining nndue advantage over the other.
f-'oufUi—That vro protest against any increase of the
circulating currency, but demand that snob measures
bo adopted by Congress which will result in the re
sumption of specie payments at the earliest possible
moment.
That wo are opposed to (he granting of nb>
