Th.e weather has been especially favorable

Atlaxta, July 7.—-The Southern Star
of this week, announces that two thousand
five hundred dollars has been raised to
wards the third party campaign in Geor
gia. It appeals to all members of the
party, especially the “Northern brethren,”
to open their pocketbook and subscribe to
the campaign fund.
All money is to be sent Her. Sam

with five hundred dollars. The amount de
sired for the work in Georgia is twenty-
five thousand dollars, which is to be de

meetings in eyery section of the State.
Among the orators who will come is one
John A. Brooks, of Kansas, known to the
world as the third party candidate for
Vice-President.
London, July 5 —The general tone of the
English prefcS is sgainst the polic y of silence
or of angry denials in the treatment by the
Irish party of the revelation in the trial of
the O'Donnell Times suit. Tho papers euy
this will not suffice; the revelations call for
disproof, either th ough a jury or a parlia
mentary committee. The pitBs say if such
an i vestigatiou is not demanded even the
Etiglish allies of the Parr.cllitvs will share
the ugly suspicion that the Irish party are
guilty of the cha'grs made againsttncm.

The Pnily News says: "Purnell’s plain

absurd charges against him by dupes and
parlhana. He has dons his duty by explod

Commons is not the place Irunt which a
