FOREIGN NEWS.
The foreign report of the 14th inst.,
gives an account of a speech made at
a large meeting at Ayr, Scotland, by
ChagibeTbpii. which produced im-
metisiie-iXCit^ient. It is stated that,
he has received numerous letters
warning him that he will not leave
Scotland alive 1 . His speech was of a
most inflammatory character. When
he made a bitter assault upon the
Irish people, charging them with all
manner of crimes, cries of “outrage" 1
were , made and hisses accompanied
by cheers from enemies of the Irish.
Chamberlain exhibited firmness and
maintained his assertions as truth
which could not be denied. A cry
followed, “take care of yourself.” He
bitterly assailed Parnell, and de
nounced Gladstone “as a farce to the
unity, strength and honor of the
mighty Empire our forefathers be
queathed us.” His violent speech
greatly excites all parties. “The
Gladstonians,” it is reported, charge
Chamberlain with slandering and vil
lifying his former colleagues and sym
pathizing with the perpetrators of
outrages in Ireland. Such was the
bold attack made by him upon the
friends of Home Rule that it is said,
he would he attended by a private
guard.
Lord Randolph Churchill, also,
denounced Gladstone, in his speech
at Birmingham, on the 14th. He
charged him with trying to bring the
Parliament into disrepute, to put an
end to the present session by the
most unscrupulous means, indeed
spoke of him as a political incendiary
It seems as if the Ministry has be
come frightened at the changes go
ing on in the kingdom, favorable to
more enlarged liberty and justice,
and to check it, are endeavoring to
defame the greatest and purest lead
ing public man in the realm. Cham
berlain was doubtless, sent to Scot
land to weaken the hold which Mr.
Gladstone has upon the good will and
appreciation of the people of Scot
land, while Lord Churchill was to
start the infamous ball of denuncia
tion, defamation and scurrilous a-
buse in England. Mr. Gladstone,
with characteristic moderation, an
swers that he is unaware of any law
to prevent the public discussing the
conduct of Parliament or the speak
er. Mr. Gladstone’s offence is in up
holding the principles of the British
constitution, which, if fairly con
strued will advance the people in all
■actions, in Wales, Scotland and Ire
land, in the charact er and rights of
freemen. He of course has to op
pose the majority in the House of
Commons, and the speaker in every
act which may defeat this great anil
patriotic end. The advocates, of un
just and arbitrary power, who op
pose the political consequence of the
people, seeing the progress of Mr.
Gladstone and his adherents, are
seeking to check it by scurrilous false
hoods and defamation of the great
leader and his followers in their ef
forts favorable to political freedom.
They see that America and other en
lightened nations are taking the part
of. the Irish and cheeringly en
dorsing Mr. Gladstone's policy and
strengthening his hand and those
of his adherents in the great strifggle
for freedom and justice; and -friends of
arbitrary power, knowing that truth
and justice are against them, are resort-

and the duty of the merchants of St.

ful city a statue of him who, more
than any other man, by a scratch of

Gentlemen, I thank you very sin
cerely for your cordial reception.
Mr. President, I am profoundly in
debted for your words of courtesy.
I am here simply as your guest, and
l am impressed so by it that I shall
not commit the offense of trespassing
upon your patience, but with my cor
dial wishesfor your increased and ever
increasing prosperity, 1 bid you good
morning.”
Now Mr. Editor, this seems to me
nothing less than treason to the
“Grand old Party.” Have not the
“/lien of great moral ideas,” taught
us that Mr. Lincoln was the second
Washington of the Republic? Then
did they not claim that Gen. Grant
was the 2d second Washington? Then
passing over R. B. Hayes of whom
they were not specially proud, they
hailed Gen, Garfield as the 8d second
Washington. How could Mr. Blaine,
the mouth-piece of the Grand Old
Party, stand up in St. Louis and as
sert that Mr. Jefferson, whose whole
life was in antagonism to the princi
ples of that party, was the original
and only true second Washington?
Shades of Lincoln, Grant and Gar
field! What did the man mean? Was
there method in his madness? Know
ing that his great rival, John Sher
man, is of all men now living, the
farthest removed from Jefferson in
thought, feeling and action; may he
not have meant the eulogy as a stab
under the fifth rib to the Ohio mon
archist? Tne praise of Jefferson from
the lips of a Federalist can be ex
plained in no other way. But what
ever your motive may have been,
Mr. Blaine, i agree with you that “in
the annals of American greatness,
Jefferson, should stand next to Wash
ington.”

W’hen, last evening, General George
Sheridan repeated by request, hi*
lecture on “The Modern Pagan,''
which was by the way an attack aaii '
a refutation of lngersollisui, he w/v-
introduced to the audience by the
Lieutenant General of the Army.
They are friends anti admirers of each
other but are not relatives. Tlie lec
turer says he is constantly asked
what relation he is to General “Phil. 1 "
He answered the question humorous
ly once, in. a political speech. “So
that there can be no possible misun
derstanding,” said he, “I will state
that I am neither his father nor his
brother, nor his cousin, nor liis uncle,
nor his wife’s aunt's sister’s mother-in •
law.”. In fact, he was no possible re
lation of the great soldier.
“General, George”, as he is-called
by his friends, owes his title of Gen
eral to having once been Adjutant
General of Louisiana. He was elect
ed to the Forty-third Congress from
that State, but his election was con
tested by ex-Governor Ptnehback.
and he was not awarded his seat un
til the closing hours of the last day
of the last session, just in time to
draw his pay for two years service,
mileage, and 'expenses of contest,
amounting,in all to ab6ut fourteen
thousand dollars.
