IRELAND.
Lonpon, Nov. 26.
Government engineers have surveyed the districts bordering on the Shannon River in Ireland, with a view to the commence- ment of a scheme for their drainage, to cost a hundred thousand dollars. The prospect of employment in those districts is regarded with great sitisfee‘ion. s

Mr. Gladstone, in a speech to the elec- tors here on Wednesday afternoon, ex- pressed himself in favor of giving home rule to Ireland, but in local matters.

Daly’s return to Castlebar will be cele- brated by bonfires and other demonstra- tions throughout the country.
Mayo, Nov. 27.
Parnell left Sligo to-day, but Davitt and Daly will remain until Killen is released.
Parnell has received invitations from all parts of the country to address meetings. His propaganda has been actively carried on in Sligo during the trial. Speeches and other incidents cause increasing excitement inthetown. Last night a mob of 3,000 persons paraded the streets, followed by 20 armed constables to prevent stone-throw- ing and violence, which occurred on the previous night.
On the trial of Killen to-day, his counsel in cross-examining police witnesses, asked absurd and irrelevant questions, provoking frequent altercations with the Magistrates, who pointed ont that he was keeping his client in durance, while he amused the audience.
The only failing at all material to the issue which he elicited was that the notes of shorthand writers, while agreeing upon the main points, differed upon details. ;
Rea, Killen’s counsel, during a tempor- ary absence of the magistrstes, harranged the audience, telling them that he had been threatened with imprisonment for contempt and had received a letter threatening him with assassination.
UNITED STATES.
Hotyoxe, Mass., Nov. 27. The Catholics have signed a petition for the removal of Father Dufresne, the priest who was lately mulcted in $3,400 for ex- communicating a hackman who attended a Protestant church. Dufresne threatened the excommunication of the Catholic wit- nesses against him at the trial. Cupar Rarips, Ia., Nov. 27. The town of Roudalia, Fayette county, was burned yesterday. The fire broke out in the rear of Sidmen’s saloon and spread rapidly ; the Post Office is also burned. There was but little insurance upon any of the property; many will be financially ruined. The fire is believed to have been set by a rival saloon-keeper. Indignation runs high.
New York, Nov. 26.
The Herald prints an interview with W. H. Vanderbilt in relation to the great sale of New York Central Stock tu the Syndi cate, in which he {says that the stock is to be paid for in United States four per cent. bonds. He then goes on to say:
‘*T began to discover in the public senti- ment some time ago a feeling that I was a great railroad monopolist and all that sort of thing, and there was a feeling in the public mind against it. I always believe in the popular feeling, and I made up my mind that there must be something in that objection and I am convinced now that there is. So I determined to widen the circle of management, and make it as ex- tended as would be safe and reasonable.” (He thinks this new arrangement will put a stop to all that annoyance.) ‘‘ The great benefit to this city will be the close connec- tion it brings about between the several railroads spread over the West reaching as far as Ogden and covering an immense ter- ritery. Gentlemen managing these roads went to Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl- vania and endeavored to make arrange- ments with them,but did notsucceed. Then they came to me. The New York Cen- tral and Lake Shore are the two finest properties in the world. I thought the mattér over and finally went to Mr. Mor- gan, of Drexel, Morgan & Co., who are known throughout the world, and told them what I would do. I wanted to make these people who were always com- plaining and making trouble my friends and I think I have succeeded. The way to do that is to touch their interest, help them and at the same time help your- self. If they make ten dollars and I make two dollars I shall be perfectly satisfied. All these rolling and turning mill fellows were screaming when their places were closed and they were making no money. They said that the railroad was making it all. Now they are making money and willing to see the railroad make a little too. What would New York be without the Central Railroad? Of course the Central owes something to New York.”
Being asked ‘‘How soon will the stock be on the London Market,” Mr. Vanderbilt
said :
‘‘It will take a little time to perfect all the arrangement, but it is in good hands and will reach them in due course I think it will go through for 150. and will be brought here 4s a permanent investment. Practically, the Wabash rail- roads and the directions of the Central will
; be one institution with common interest. It

isin this connection that the city wiil de- rive its great advantage. If the junctures had been made with the Pennsylvania or the Baltimore and Qhio, Philadelphia or Baltimore would have been the cities bene- fitted, but I have succeeded in bringing
rthat advantage here. The Michigan Cen-
tral and Canada Southernare also brought into line. They are both tremendous pro- perties and have scope enough within their own limit to make them immensely profit- able concerns. The people will soon begin to understand the value of what these people have done,”

Berusn, Nov. 27. Bismarck has published a letter thanking his friends in England and Germany for their solicitude about his health. He takes this method of acknowledging their kind- ness, because he is not yet able to write to
them. Lonpon, Nov. 27.

OPENING OF CONGRESS—NO RADICAL LEGIS- LATION PROBABLE,
Wasurnoton, D. C., Nov. 24, 1879.
The second session (first regular) of th® 46th Congress will begin in one week from to-day; and the members are rapidly drop- ping in to be ready for their duties. I have taken some pains to sound them as to the proba>le course of Congress, and the conclusion in brief is that there will be less legislation of a radical kind than has been known in any session for years. That is, the bulk of the legislation will be conserva- tive and in line with existing politics, and more in the nature of amendment and per- fection than change. ‘There seems indeed to be little canse for changes now, since the business of the country is rapidly improy- ing. -This appears to be the opinion of a majority in both the great parties as far I can gather,
It is of interest to enumerate some of the more prvminent measures which members mention as likely to be more or less dis- cussed. The greenbackers will urge the currency question, but I think Republicans and Democrats for the most dart will not eucourage the agitation of it. Many Dem- ocrats whe last session were in favor of such discussion new say that it will be use- less to disturb the country with it, since business is so good. They say, however, that should Secretary Sherman recommend the retirement of the legal tender circula- tion, they will make a tight that may be- come more wide in its influence than any party now contemplates. But many Re- publican members, who ought to know, sa that the administration will not urge this subject or any other that is likely to dis- turb the business of the country.
The tariff question, it was thought some time ago, would be an important one, but I tind many have changed their minds in that also, and are not in favor of pushing it in the face of present industrial prosperity, and, I might add,the Presidential campaign. This reminds me of a rumor that some in- terested party has insinuated reports throughout Ohio that General Garfield is not “‘sonund” on the tariff question. But business men will not be deceived by this, and, therefore, refuse to send him to the Senate. General Gartield is a conservative on all business legislation, and it is that qualification in our legislators which has saved our tariff system from those extremes which might have wiped it out entirely long ago, and made such fluctuations as would have ruined all business and
made prosperity impossible. I make this digression mersly to observe that General Garfield seems to
represent just now the sentiment prevalent ir both parties against any legislation that sould suddenly overturn established usa- ges or agitate the material interests of the nation. I think, however, there is a grow- ing disposition among Democrats and Re- publicans to do something to extend trade in foreign markets, such as giving liberal postal contracts tv steamship lines from the United States to South American ports.
The calendars of the two houses contain a mass of stuff, but little of which is im- portant, except the remnants of the politi- cai legislatien bequeathed by the last ses- sion. Whether these will be brought for- ward is a matter of doubt, the Democratic leaders disagreeing as to its advisability. If they should, the session will be lively and long ; if they shouldn’t, it ought to be dull and short.

British Taxes..
Mr. Duncan McLaren, the senior mem- ber for Edinburgh, has just received a re- turn he moved for last session, of the tax- ation paid by England, Scotland and Ire- land respectively. The gross product of the revenue in excise, customs, stamps, in- come tax, and land and house tax, in the year ending 3lst March last is stated at £68,792,673, of which England contributed £54,456,718, Scotland £7,719,500, and Ire- land £6,616,455 ; and the estimated popu- lation of each country was, England, 25,- 165,336 ; Scotland, 3,627,458; Ireland, 5,363,324. It is likely, however, that quan- tities of the goods used both in Ireland and Scotland are first entered at English ports.
