Mr. Gladstone’s Appeal to the People
of England.
His policy for Ireland necessarily
excites a great degree of interest in
the United States, not alone among
our Irish citizens but other intelligent
classes of our people. The leaders, in
public affairs in England, profess to
be governed in a great measure by
what they call the English constitu
tion. That is, an unwritten and un
compiled code of Principles, but it es
tablishes a system, however obscure,
of principles favorable to public liber
ty. It would occupy more space than
we can afford, to enter into any ex
planatory details of the various prin
ciples and doctrines cf which it is con
stituted, to present even a faint sem
blance of wdiat it is, but taken in all
its parts it is favorable to the princi
ples of Liberty. Many thousands of
intelligent and educated Britons,
have a clear and comprehensive idea
of all its parts, and they could see,
that for many long years the Irish
have been deprived of the benefits of
its beneficent principles. In Mr. Glad
stone’s wise and considerate appeal to
the people, he looks to these intelli
gent subjects, not only for their votes,
but their vast influence with others
less informed in favor of the wise and
beneficent measure which he submits
to their consideration and votes, to
sustain his measure for Irish home
rule.
England claims not only to have a
free constitution, but a most liberal
government as opposed to what we
may term an arbitrary government.
The latter explodes all rule but that
which is founded in institutions of
the will of a King, and dogmas found
ed in violence and terror. To give
more freedom and better rule to Ire
land antagonizes these arbitrary dog
mas, will emancipate and regenerate
the Irish from old prejudices, over
throw the tyrannies which have ©im
pressed them for centuries, and make
them as they deserve to be, the equals
of the English and the Scotch. It is
not a rasli and dangerous experiment,
as its opponents assert, for, as to in
tellect, virtue and honor, the Irish
are the equals of any other classes of
people in‘the kingdom. Many of
England’s greatest statesmen, gener
als, orators, poets, and other writers,
were Irishmen. Burke was never ex
celled as a statesman, Wellington as a
commander, Sheridan and Curran
orators and vU y other and or-
. WPz andd; ished for genius, by Eng-
land or* Scotland. The pride the
honor, and justice of England de
mand the success of the Home Kale
measure; her quiet and safetv de
mand it, and Gladstone, the greatest
of English Statesmen, stakes his char
acter and honor upon the safe and re
generating influences it will exert up
on the entire realm. .
Gladstone stands out in this great
effort for liberty and justice, though
defeated by a few votes in the Parlia-
Washington Letter.
From Our Kegular Correspondent.
Washington, June 14, 188G.
Having entered upon the seventh
month of the first session of the forty-
ninth Congress, the lower House pro
poses to make an effort to crowd the
work through within the time con
sumed byThe session ending July loth
1884. This prospect to the outside
observer, is not very promising; but
those supposed to direct the majority
of the upper and lower Houses, say
that it can and probably will be ac
complished. There is already talk of
introducing a resolution in the House
fixing June 2Gth, for adjournment
with the expectation that the date
w r ill not be set more than ten or twelve
days beyond that time.
The President and his wife have un
der contemplation a tour of the
northern lakes with a select party of
friends in a chartered steamer, during
the summer. It is probable that they
will spend some time on the seacoast
and in the mountain regions after the
adjournment of Congress, and then
go to their old home in Buffalo. Ac
cording to the program they w’ill leave
Buffalo some tinle in August and
make a trip which will include Lakes
Erie, Huron and Michigan making
stops at points of interest. The pro
gram may be varied or abandoned,
but it is under serious consideration
at the White House and will probably
be carried out. Much will depend on
the adjournment of Congress. If
Congress does not adjourn before Au
gust, the President will of course be
detained at Washington, and his sum
mer outing, as now proposed, will be
abandoned. It is said that the Presi
dent and his wife have never been
farther west than the city of Buffalo.
Mr. Cleveland is quite anxious to
make a tour of the lakes, and if he
does so, the Chicago Iroquois Club, to
which lie has a standing invitation,
will doubtless entertain him.
There seems to have been very
good management displayed in the
matter of making contracts for post-
office supplies during the eighteen
months past and consequently a great
saving to the Government has been
the result. During Judge Grasham’s
term as Postmaster General, this bqs-
tire business-like transactions. Post
master Generai Vilas is giving spec
ial attention to this class of work un
der him, and together with third As
sistant Postmaster General Hazen, aft
er much careful labor now have bind
ing contracts which, while they will
doubtless yield fair profits to the con
tractors, will, at the same time, be of
great advantage and benefit to the
public at large. Take for instance the
contract for stamped envelopes, just
made bv the Postmaster General for
the four coming years, commencing
ment, the grandest and most majestic July lst . Before advertising for pro

A BALL THROUGH HIS HEAD.
THE SUICIDE OF MR. DAVID WELLS.
Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock
Mr. Dayid E. B. Wells placed a pistol
to his head, and in tw T o hours after
ward was a corpse.
Mr. Wells was about twenty-eiglit
years of age. He was born and raised
in Washington county, and was a son
of Col. T. F. Wells, a well known and
respected citizen of that county. Mr.
Wells has spent about two years in
Macon. He was at one time a clerk
in the dry goods store of Lyons A
Cline but left there in January last.
Some time in March he was given the
position of city salesman in the store
of H. D. Adams A Co., Captain Adams
being his brother-in-law.
For many years he was addicted to
drinking. Friends and relations
tried in every way possible to prevent
his becoming a slave to the habit,
but in vain. He was finally sent to
the asylum at Milledgeville to he treat
ed as an inebriate, and was discharged
something over a year ago and
thought to be cured.
For several weeks past members of
Captain Adams's family, with whom
he was living in Vineville, noticed
that he had returned to his old habits,
and after being advised by Capt.
Adams in a friendly way to desist un
til forbearance ceased to be a virtue,
Captain Adams was forced to harsher
methods and reprimanded him. Even
this failed to bring about a reforma-
ed to'seayl*
and seemed quite low-spirited. Gn
one occasion he asked his sister, Mrs.
Adams, for laudanum with which, to
end his life, but as such a threat had
been made often very little attention
was paid to the request.
Yesterday morning he sent worn to
Capt. Adams to go up stairs and see
him. Knowing what he wanted,
Capt. Adams requested his brother,
Mr. Chas. M. Adams, to say to him
that he had no work for him and that
his place had been filled. The mes
sage was carried to him and Capt.
Adams went to his store.
About 8 o’clock the negro Bob
Parker, who is employed on the lot
went to the stable, whioh is situated
in the rear of the liouse, and there
found Mr. Wells seated on the plat
form or step. Taking a piece of pa
per from a crack in the door, Mr.
Wells asked him to take the P a P® r _ ,
the house. Then, as if a thought had
struck him at the moment he added a
few more lines arid handing itto the ne
gro said: “Good-bye. I aitt going
never to return.” Bob told him to
wait until he returned with an answer
and then went toward the house.
While ascending the rear steps, Bob
heard the report of a pistol, which so
frightened him that he dropped the
note. Mrs. Adams was standing in the
door and also heard the report.
Bob ran to the stable, from which
the pistol shot proceeded, and there
found Mr. Wells lying on the platform
and blood issuing from a hole m tne

raised by Mr. Morrison, of Illinois,
against the provision looking to a
change of rules of the commission.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, briefly an
tagonized the point, holding that the
provision was merely a limitation or?
the expenditure of public money.
Mr. Morrison, in support of hi>
point, said that under the law the du
ty of adopting regulations devon ey
on the commission and the president.
The purpose of the proposed legisla
tion was to impose certain conditions
which the law did not impose, am
therefore was a change of l a '' r 111 COIt

point of order, but as the decisioi
