I a attempt- exor cise any such jurisdiction the Senate Usurped an authority not con- ferreduponit by the constitution or the laws. It had no more right to demand'of the President the evidence on which he acted or the reasons for his action than it bad to demand of the Supreme Court reasons for it* decisions or to demand of the House of Representatives its reasons for passing particular bills. It bad no more power over the subject than had the I resident to ask the Senate for it* reasons tor rejecting a nomination. The attempt w . ft * a ’ b°W u.urpation on the part of the Senate.” 1 Brown maintained that the tenure of office law, which he termed “an absurd law,” was in palpable violation of the constitution.

New Orleans, March 17.—A Winsna, Miss., special says: At Corrolton to-day a fearful tragedy occurred, in which ten ne groes were killed and three wounded. Some 'weeks ago two negroes attempted to assas sinate J, M. Siddell, Jr,, inflicting some painful hut not dangerous wounds. The negroes engaged in this dasta-dly at tempt are known to be the most defiant and lawless in the country, and since: the attompt on Mr. Siddcll’s life have been more openly defiant than ever. For gome reason not known they swore out a warrent a few days ago for Siddcll’s arrest. It was at this trial to-day that the killing occurred. The negroes present were mostly armed. About 10 o’clock a party of armed men, numbering about forty or fifty persons, rode np to the court bouse. They dismounted, and entering the bnilding, at once commenced firing on the negro with the above reanlt. They then returned by the samo route they come. They do not live near Carrollton. A later dispatch from Winona throws a little more light on the horrible assassina tion at Carrollton to-day. At tbe magis trate’s trial before Mayor Elam in the court house, to-day, in connection with thereoent trouble between a few negroes and J: M. Siddel, Jr., about twenty colored (men were present.

A committee of the Hibernian Society to-day sent to Parnell a draft for £800. It was collected years ago for tho Smith O'Brien fund, and was in the custody of the Hibernian Society.

Morton’s London, March 10.—Despite all stories to the contrary, it is learned to day authori- tiyely that both Air. Joseph Chamberlain, President of the Local Government Board, and Mr. Trevelyan, Secretary for’Scotland, have placed their resignations in the hands of Mr. Gladstone. The Premier has, how ever, declared fo accept the resignations. His answer to tho tender of them was a most conciliatory one. Air. Gladstone suggested to both gentlemen that they de fer final decision on their resignations un til alter a personal discussion of the ques tion at issue between them and him. To this both Chamberlain and Trevelyan have assented. It is now known that the subject of dispute is Gladstone’s Irish expropriation scheme. The exact sum which will be required buy out ail the landowners of the aountry, according to the - Premier’s plan, is £150,000,000. Tho proposition to in crease the public debt of Great Britain that much in order to purchase peace in Ireland ia claimed by the radical leaders in the cabinet to be asking far too much for what will be obtained. There wus to have been a special meeting of tbe cabinet to-day. It lias, however, been postponed for the purpose ot giving tho resigning ministers time for reflection, in the hope "that both will change their minds. Their perapnal friends declare that neither Chamberlain nor Trevelyan will altet his purpose of refusing to participate in the government which is to be responsi ble for Mr. Gladsone’s land scheme. Both Chamberlain and Trevelyan were in their usual places in the llouso of Coin mons to-day and chatted with Gladstone, Parnell is in poor health, and it is probable that lie will have to give up his idea of speaking at the National festival in London to-morrow. The News says that Chamberlain and Trevelyan have written Gladstane a state ment of their views on the land scheme. The cabinet conncil has consequently de cided to postpone any action likely to lead lo dissension. It is an honest effort, without acerbity on tho part of the majority and tho minority to arrive at the best solution for the welfare of Ireland. In the meantime, both Chamberlain and Trevelyan w ill con tinue discharging their official duties. Tre velyan has invited the Scotch members ol Parliament to a conference to-morrow on the crofters question. Chamborluin agrees to giving Ireland home rote, but is opposed to baying out landlords. The present crisis will probably postpone the date ol Gladstone's statement to Parliament on the Irish question. Althongh it is expected that Parnell's sup port ot Gladstone will bo solid, it becomes more and more evident that Chamberlain will secure a large foUowing. Chamberlain and Trevelyan left the Uqnse after tho dis posal of question* on notice paper. Trouble Brewing itetween France Germany.

Tho tragedy began some months ago in a trilling altercation between a young whito man named Moore nnd a colored man named Brown, t. M. Liddell, n friend of Moore, afterwards got into a difficulty with Brown through reference to Brown's treatment of Moored in which Liddell struck Brown with his fist and wss shot in the elbow by Brown and was fired nt by several other colored men. In tlie farther course of this difficnlty, Liddell was shot a second time ami two colored men were shot slightly. Following this the negroes made affidavits against Liddell and others, charging assault with intent to ninrder. These coses came np yoaterday for trial and were culled at uoon, when the court house was immediately filled with negroes, who stationed themselves around and about Brown's brother. The attorneys were proceeding with the cose when there suddenly appeared about one hundred white men, all of whom were well armed. Perceiving their entrance, Ed. Brown drew a pistol and fired in the direction of Liddell, who was between his attorneys, anil thereupon th* firing became general. Ten negroes were instantly killed, and two others have since died. Some escaped by jumping through tlie windows, a dis tance of at least twenty feet from the ground. On most of tho dead bodies arms were fonml. Tho room was completely filled with smoke. Tbe judge’s bench is t n the north side of tho room and the benches facing it are towards tho south. It is very largo court-room, with windows all around.

Two other theories are ad- vnnaed—one that tho Oregon struck a float ing torpedo, and the oilier that her side was l torn open by an explosion of some desorip- ift j tion from the inside.

There were 250 guests, including Earl Aahbnrnbam and many 1’arnellite members of Parlia ment. Jlimy telegrams were rend express ing confidence in Parnell and tbe Irish commonera. E. Dwyer Gray, who] presided, regretted the absence] of Parnell. who was nnweU.| Amid great enthusiasm he proposed a toast, “Ireland, a nation," adding that if ever al race on the face of the globe had proved its right to nationhood, the Irish had done sojj In spite of centuries of bitter struggle, uni paralleled sacrifices, and unequaled suffer ings, Irishmen bad shown that they were determined to obtain tbe rights of a nation, and never was their determination stronger than now. He hoped that before long Gladstone would be enabled to solve the problem'. Irish men wished to legislate for themselves in their own country, and wonld loyally ac cept any measure giving them that priviJ lege, thus benefiting both countries ini stead of endangering the empire. Other toasts followed. Mr. O Brien, presiding over a meeting of 4,188) Irishmen at St. George's Hall in Brad ford to-night, made a sjieech in which he said that Ireland's prospects were never brighter thsn now. It would not be the fault of the Parnollits if this most promising chsnce of tffecliug a reconciliation of the people should be madly and wickedly sac rificed.

Tho troth is, that while the revenue rebate did give the Diamond Match Company n great advantage over its rivals, tho main fuctora in tho conoern's success were its great com mand of capital, tho business sagacity of its head, and its ownership of the valuable patents and secreta.
