UNION & RECORDER, Millkdgkvillk, April 20, 1880. Mr. Gladstone’s Efforts for Reform in Ireland. Every effort, that could be made to depress Air. Gladstone in his noble scheme for justice to Ireland, has been brought forward to effect his defeat. No one denies his masterly efforts, the spirit and energy with which he has appealed to all parties to do jus tice to Ireland by giving her Home Rule not inconsistent with the integ rity of the British empire. His op ponents, while asking the House and the people to hear all sides, are un worthily misrepresenting Mr. Glad stone's policy, and wilfully and falsely declaring, that, if adopted, it will make Ireland an independent na tion as much so as France or Germa ny. Lord Churehhill said in his place in the House: “The real principle of the bill was a repeal of the union.” Coming from such a source it is calcu lated to mislead members, who, hav ing no fixed views of their own, rely upon the declarations of such men as Lord Churehhill. We doubt if Church- hUI comprehends the great measure of Mr. Gladstone for the relief of Ireland. But he places himself in an unenvia ble light when he intimates it would be a total repeal of the union to adopt t, for it exhibits his ignorance of the measure, or a desire to defeat it by misrepresentation. Instead of de- -trov ng the Union, it rivets it with bands of justice, and we may properly add of kindness. The hearts, of the people which have been indurated by tyranny w ill be softened by kindly sympathy and practical justice. The occasion is a great one and may be attended by the most valuable re sults for the whole Empire of Great Britain. It would be attended by those virtues of friendly union which will make Ireland a powerful sup port to the British Throne. Blind will the English be if they shall steel t heir hearts against this grand scheme of peace and reconciliation. THE TARIFF. We trust the Morrison bill will be- •i-oine a law. The Democratic party was pledged by their resolutions in National convention to reduce the tariff or attempt to do so. The Re publicans too were pledged to some reduction. But so far the Fall River Flag seems to be in the ascendancy. They hurrah over their many millions of bounty. What the people want is a reasonable reduction, gradually made, so 1 hat no interest will be great ly injured and every interest will be gradually improved. The people have slept long and quietly over their wrongs and they expect the Demo crats. If possible, to relieve them ; at anv rate to make an honest effort to do so. We hope a vigorous effort will is* made to secure the earliest possi ble reduction. E. >i:i< . Th B.

The Celebration of the Chatham Ar tillery Centennial in May. Tiio soldiers of the State and in fact d the whole country have their eyes on Savannah and the approcahing •« h i irat ion of the Centenial of the "hatham Artillery. The one hundredth anniversary of • his gallant battery is full of histori- ‘id and pleasant memories, and it is nmb-r that the celebration on the Ma n* ■r V\ ri 1 Hit South. •ve anil to be continued 8th proximo, is looked s the greatest military ceremony ever seen in The Chatham Artillery distinction in the Revolu- ionarv -struggles and had the honor i being complimented by General fa-liington in the field and also of • ing inspected by President Washing- >n hi time of peace. The record of ■ie company has been transmitted ntarnished for a century, and it is :!! one of the finest organizations in 7e country. Its centennial celebra- !on will be a genuine reunion, and Dldiers will come from North ard oath to join in the encampment and jilitary exercises of the first week in lav. Fully three score companies f infantry and cavalry will unite in ne celebration. The Chathains know bow T to arrange u-h celebrations, for they observed leir 50th and 75th anniversaries on n extensive scale and with great vie. Hon. John Ward, now of New ork. but at the time a young man f Savannah, delivered the oration at •>e fiftieth anniversary, and Colonel has. C. Jones, Jr., had the honor of elivering the oration at the seventy- fth anniversary. By a pleasing ^incidence, or rather on account of gratifying survival of the former, Chat hams have prevailed upon fr Ward to deliver the Centennial ration. He will thus have had the onor of delivering two of the chief rmiversarv orations before this his- mc command with a space of a half sntury intervening. Col. Jones will l the approaching Centennial con fute a sketch of the command, bieh will add to the interest and istoric memory of thejoccasion. The Dmmand of the military features of ie celebration will be vested in Gen. Burd Grubb, of the U. S. Army, ad commander of the First Troop of hiladelpbia City Cavalry. Our Next Judge. We announced some time since that Judge T. G. Lawson, the presiding judge of this circuit, w T ould retire from the bench at the expiration of his present term. The next Legislature will, therefore, have to appoint a new Judge. We have already heard the names of several prominent gentle men mentioned in connection with this position, and among the number, that of Captain C. P. Crawford, of Milledgeville. In all the range of our observation, we know of no one bet ter capacitated to fill the position. Not only is he competent to fill this position* but he would reflect credit upon the Supreme Court of Georgia, were he a member of that august body. Aside from possessing the highest order of legal ability, his in tegrity of character is a conspicuous feature of the man. His life’s- record is without a blemish, and in the strongest sense of the words, he is a noble Christian gentleman. There is nothing of the demagogue or poltroon about him. He has ever held himself aloof from all political intrigues, and if he is elected Judge of this circuit, it will be upon his own merits, for he will never stoop to electioneering sharp practice to gain any position within the gift of the people. It is because of these qualities of mind and heart that we are anxious to see him appointed. The position of a Judge of the Superior court is an important one, and the people cannot be too so licitous in getting the right man for the office.—Irwinton Southerner. THE MEXICAN PENSION KILL. The Mexican pension bill passed the House by a vote of 158 to 88. It has yet to pass the Knuntlet of the Senate; and the friends of the bill are a little apprehen sive that it may meet its doom in that Au gust body. We hope, however, that such will not be the case, and the bill will pass giving the noble old veterans their dues. They served their country with patriotic zeal and bravery, and deserve the recom pense. The following is the bill as passed: Section 1. That the Secretary of the Interior be and he is hereby authorized and directed to place the names of all sur viving officers, soldiers and sailors who enlisted and served in the war with Mexico for any period during the years 1845, 1846, 1847 and 1848 and were honorably discharg ed, and their surviving widows, on the pension roll at the rate of $8 per month from and after the passage of this act during their lives. See 2. That the Secretary of the Inte rior is hereby authorized and directed to make such rules and regulations as are necessary to carry this act into effect, pro vided that where it shall appear that dis charge is lost secondary evidence may be permitted; and wtaero it shall appear an applicant has received land warrant that shall be sufficient evidence of an hon orable discharge unless the evldenoe shows that he procured It by fraud; and provided further, that this act shall not apply to persons under political disabili ties Henry Clay’s Fortune. [Ben: Perley Poore.) Henry Clay was pronounced in solvent by his Kentucky opponents in 1842, and they paraded some mort gages on his property as evidence of his inability to pay his debts. In a letter to a friend, denying this calumny, Mr. Clay said: “I am not free, absolutely, from debt. 1 am not rich. 1 never covet ed riches. But my estate wouId, even now, be estimated at not much less than $100,000. Whatever it may be worth, it is a gratification to me to know that it is the produce of my own honest labor, no part of it being here ditary except one slave, who w T oukl oblige me very much if he would ac cept his freedom. It is sufficient, af ter paying all my debts, to leave my family above want if I should be sep arated from them. It is a matter, also, of consolation to me to know that this wanton exposure of my pri vate affairs can do me no pecuniary prejudice. My few creditors will not allow their confidence in me to be shaken by it. It has, indeed, led to one incident, which was at the same time a source of pleasure and of pain. A friend lately called on me, at the instance of other friends, and informed me that they were apprehensive that my private affairs were embarrassed, and that I allowed these embarrass ments to prey upon my mind. He came, therefore, with their authority, to tell me that they would contri bute any sum that I might want to relieve me. The emotions which such a proposition excited can be con ceived by honorable men. I felt most happy to be able to undeceive them, and to decline their benevolent pro position.” Mr. Clay never had any outstonding accounts at Washington, and as he did not keep house it was not difficult for him to “pay as he went.” Bailv, The following are the plaintiffs in the case against the Ordinary in the Prohibition contested election: Allen, John T.
