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- state [cheers]; and that vast doiuat* for which Jefferson gave $15,000,00* is now represented in seven great and prosperous states and three large ritories; which in the course of t; will add four or five states, possibly,* to the American union.

[Loud cheers,] 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.” ed.

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.
