Herald.] London, March 20, 1873. Parliament reassembled in session in the afternoon to-day. The attendance of mem bers of the House of Commons was un usually numerous, and the galleries were tilled almost to suffocation with visitors. The interior of the House presented an unusual spectacle in anticipation of an important communication from Mr. Glad stone announcing the termination of the ministerial crisis by his return te office. All the benches were filled with members, and the opposition mustered in considera bleJUrce. Among the distinguished per sons present were Prince Arthur, the Duke of Cambridge and Princt! Christian. Many members of the House of Lords also at tended in the gallery set apart for the peers. As Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli en tered the House loud cheers were succes sively raised by their repectively suppor teres. PREMIER GLADSTONE’S SPEECH. When Mr. Gladstone rose to make his statement the cheering was repeated, this time from all parts of the House. The right honorable gentleman said he was now able to acquaint the House with the fact that he and his colleagues iu offi ce, with Her Majesty’s permission, were prepared to carry on this government as before. He explained fully that “it was only after the party opposite had uncondi tionally refused to form a Miusistry that he and his friends had consented to resume office.” Mr. Gladstone added that the Queen had given him permission to read an extract from a statement he had made to Her Majesty. It was to the affect that he did not suppose that the efforts of the gen tlemen of the opposition to defeat the gov ernment were made with the deliberate intention of refusing to organize a Cabinet if it should be required of them ; but the summary refusal given when the occasion arose he considerad not fully in accord with the exigencies ot the case nor with parliamentary usage. The Premier’s statement was frequently interrupted by applause, which was warm and long continued at the close. Mr. Disraeli explained the course he had thought proper to pursue since the begiuning of the crisis. He confessed that the differences between himself and the Irish Catholics were insurmountable. A new Cabinet would require until Easter to get into working order. Even then it would have to deal with financial estimates made by its predecessor, and would prob ably be outvoted every night in Parlia ment. A dissolution ef the House had been suggested. But why dissolve ? Sit ting on the opposition benches he and his friend had difficulty in forming a policy on so short a notice; and it was not to be expected that they could appeal to the country without a policy on questions more important than that of the Irish University bill. There were many ques tions on which it had been impossible to mature a policy, even in opposition, such as the Central Asian difficulties, the ne w rules introduced into international law by the Geneva Board, the payment of the award for the Alabama claims, the com mercial treaty with France and others of equal magnitude. All things considered, he had felt it to be hiS duty to decline the responsibility of organizing anew govern ment. The Queen herself had suggested a dissolution of Parliament; he had de clined to advise such a step, and stated to Her Majesty that in his opinion there was adequate reason for the government to resign, and that it night return to office without the slighest loss of honor and to the greatest possible conveniences of the public interest. Mr. Disraeli closed with the remark that possibly some of his supporters in the House might be dissatisfied, to which there were loud cries of “ No! ” “ No! ” THE STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS —DUCAL ENDORSEMENT OF DISRAELI'S GENIUS. London, March 20, 1873. In the House of Lords Earl Granville aononnced the decision of the govern ment in a speech differing little from that of Mr. Gladstone. The Duke of Richmond defended the conduct of the leaders of the opposition in the crisis. It had been asked, if Mr. Dis raeli was not willing to undertake the task of forming a Ministry, why did he labor to put the government in a minority in the House of Commons t He combated the idea of inconsistency, and eulogized Mr. Disraeli, who, he declared, had "increased the lustre of his fame as a statesman by his wise, patriotic and unselfish action in the present emeigency.” ♦ ♦ A Political Reminiscence. The New York Poet recalls from the records of Niles’ Register the fact that Congress, in 1816, passed what was called a “ compensation bill,” changing the pay of members from |6 per day while in ser vice, to $1,500 per annum, and increasing the pay of Speaker and Vice-President at the same time. It passed by a very de cided vote, but was so distasteful to the country as to defeat every man who voted for it and compel the next Congress to de feat it, although it made the new act take effect upon the following Congress. Pay was again fixed at so much per day during the session, but the amount was raised to SB. • The increase voted then amounted to $200,000. Henry Clay was among those who had to ran the gauntlet of popular disfavor because he voted for it. Hence this old incident: ~ r "T , During the canvass Mr. Clay met an old hunter who had previously been his devoted friend, but was now opposed to hint on the ground of the compensation bill. “Have you a good ritle, my friend ?” asked Mr. Clay. “Yes.” “Does it ever flash ?” “ Once only.” “ What did you do with it—throw it away ?” “No; I picked the Hint, tried it again, and brought down the game.” “Have I ever flashed but on the compensation bill ?” “No.” “Will you throw me away ?” "No! no!” quickly responded the hunter, nearly overwhelmed by his euthusiastjc feelings ; “I will pick the Hint aud try again V” John Pope, well known in the polilics of Kentucky, offered himself as a “candi date against Mr. Clay, lie was a one armed man, which gives point to the fol lowing bit of Irish wit An Irish barber residing at Lexington had always given Mr. Clay his vote, and on all occasions when he was a candidate for office electioneered warmly for him. His ardent temperament and unrestrained passions frequently involved him in scrapes and difficulties, out of which Mr. Clay had generally succeeded iu extricating him. While the canvass was going on, after the compensation bill, the barber did not evince his usual zeal and animation ; on the contrary seemed to he indifferent as to the result of the election. To all inquiries for whom he designed to vote he answered evasively. He was accosted a few days previous to the election by a gentleman for whom he entertained the most pro found regard with the question, “ For whom, Jerry, do you moan to vole?” lie garding his interrogator with an earnest, shrewd look, he replied, “ Faix an’ shure, docthur, I mane to vote for the mau who can't put more nor oue hand into the threasury.” The Irishman’s logic was as good as his wit. But the results of the proceeding are most fully described in the folio wing ex tract from a letter of Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, dated June 16, 1817. He says : According to the opinion I hazarded to you a little before your departure, we have had almost an entire change in the body of Congress. The unpopularity of the compensation law was completed by the manner of repealing it, as to all the world except themselves. Iu some States, it is said, every member is changed ; in all, many. What opposition there was to the original law was chiefly from Southern members. Yet many of those have been left out because they received the ad vance wages. I have never known so unanimous a sentiment of disapprobation, and what is remarkable is, that it was spon taneous. The newspapers were almost entirely silent, and the people not only unruled by their leaders but in opposition to them. I confess I was highly pleased with the proof of the innate good sense, the vigilance, and the determination of the people to act for themselves. Georgia State News. Dr. E. P. Btarr died in Savannah, on Sunday last, of consumption. llev. Mr. Gross has been confirmed as Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah, vice Bishop Pierce resigned. During the late revival in Columbus one hundred accessions have been made to the several churches. A family of twenty-one persons emi grated from Paulding county last Novem ber to Arkansas. They caught the small pox on the way, and now not one of them survives. The remarkable facility with the blood ed pointers of Athens tackle a full grown sheep leads the unsuspecting farmers in that vicinity to believe that they have been trained especially for that kind of sport. A youthful sportsman in Cutlibert used a shot-gun accurately enough the other day to shoot himself through the head. After a while fond parents will provide their babies with derringers and such things, and then the mortality among aunts and cousins will be intensely inter esting to newspaper men. The following paragraph, which we clip from a State exchange, is an excellent lung tester. Any one who can hold his breath until he can reach the full-top will never die of consumption or erysipelas : “Mr. John Lilly, a citizen of Conyers, and a brick mason, happened to have the mis fortune to get his arm and thigh broken while at work on a brick building a few days ago in Atlanta, by the giving way of the scaffolding, precipitating him to the ground." On Sunday evening last, in Atlanta, just opposite the Mineral Spring, on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, some lit tle boys got aboard a freight train that was passing. After riding a short distance they all got off but one—Clark Puckett— who concluded to go to town on the train. After moving on a piece, the platform of the cab upon which the boy was standing was torn off by the jamming of the bum pers ; the one on the car in front being highest, and the boy was thrown off from the stand and down the embankment, in juring his arms very badly and bruising him otherwise. For some weeks past Atlanta has been somewhat tree from the invasion of burg lars, but it seems that the warm air of spring has set them to work again. Friday night last towards the hours of morning, the house of Mr. Varnador, on Washing ton street, was entered and robbed of sev eral articles. Mr. Varnador having retired at a late hour, was sleeping with more than usual soundness, when the robbers made an entrace into his bed-room, com ing in through a window facing the street. All the clothes in the room were searched, and the robbers, supposing that a little medicine chest in the room was a money coffer, took it oat and emptied it of its contents. The chest was thrown into Mr. Garrett's yard, after the burglars saw the deception. It was new and well stored with medicine, hence its destruction was no small loss. Very little money was gotten by this raid. MACON, GA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1873. Singular French Divorce Suit A suit for a divorce a mensa et thoro, (which has been pending two years,) brought by liWno David d’Angers (nee Huet) against her husband, came on for public argument ou February 17. M. David d'Augers, the son of the celebrated Kepublicau sculptor, is himself au artist, and lias frequently exhibited in the Pali sade I’ludustrie. His wile is the daugh ter of the well-known landscape painter. M. Paul Hunt. The marriage was "made” (all marriages in France are got up ’by some third party) in 18(18, by M’me Car uot, the wife of the Deputy of the Seine— son of the great Carnot. It is in the names chiefly that the interest of this case rests, for the story of the differences between the spouses is commonplace and frivolous in the extreme. Very early after M’me Carnot’s introduction M. David d’Angers anticipated that lie should uot get on well with his father and mother-in-law, and determined to keep his wife from their Influence. Fora short time he succeeded, but very soon the mother in-law, it is alleged, began to make mischief, and her own brother, M. Sallart, a couucilor-geu eral for the Seine and Marne, called as a witness by M. David d’Angers, thus deposed : “My sister does not understand the proverb, you can not ‘Give a tliiug and take a thing.’ She had no sooner al lowed her daughter to marry M. David d’ Angers than she repented, aud ever after she strove to sow disunion iu their house hold. M. Paul Huet is now deud, and the separation suit is brought by the young wife under the influence of her mother. Among the charges of alleged “cruelly” are articles stating that the husband prevented bis wife from going to mass on a Christmas day ; that he did not show sufficient sor row for the death of his father-in-law, and iuvited company to his house twelve days after that event; that he frequently reproached his wife with awkwardness, bad mauners and want of tact; that once, after a quarrel, be told Madame David to pack her trunks and go away; that he Bedded her before the servants, and said she would inuoculato her child with he bad temper, and that once, when she was kneeling down to look at the baby, who had a cold, he pushed her, and she fell on the floor. The Judge Advocate summed up against the divorce. Judgment is re served.— Correspondence London Times. Thomas Holloway, of England, the pro prietor of the famous patent medicines which bear his name, is said to be worth $60,000. He has recently built an insane asylum costing $500,000, and has other charitable schemes on foot on an oqually magnificent scale.
