THREE ENGLISH EVENTS, The Trlbnte to John Bright at the End of Twenty-Five Years’ Service. Tli© Agitation for Repeal of the Law Against Marriage with the Sister of a Deceased Wife—The Dynamite Trials. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. London, June 9.—ls no change of programme occurs, Monday, the 11th of June, will be in the nature of a red-letter day in this country, for there will transpire on that day three events which will command the attention of the whole nation, and in all of which, moreover, other nations will feel an interest, particularly the United States. One of these events will be the tribute which Birmingham will pay to John Bright in commemoration of his twenty-fifth year of service to that town as its representative in Parliament. A monster procession will open the festivities, and after a garden party, and a great banquet in the town hall, with the most magnificent display of fire-works the midland counties have ever beheld for the delectation of the masses, the affair will culminate on the third day in a grand public meeting at which presentations of various kinds will be made to Mr. Bright, including his own portrait, painted by Mr. Frank Holl, R. A., a splendid dessert service of oxi - dized silver, which has cost $3,000, and last, though not least in the sentiments of esteem and affection they will express, a large number of the kind of testimonials in which English enthusiasm is always so prolific, viz: eulogistic addresses from societies, guilds, corporations, etc. With the datails of this celebration the American people will not much concern themselves, but with the object of it, which is to do honor to a great and good man, they will feel a sympathy scarcely less intense than that which will throb in the breasts of all liberty-loving Englishmen. Considering the lively and intelligent interest which Mr. Bright has always taken in American affairs, especially during the civil war, there is a marked appropriateness in the contemplated participation in these festivities of the American Minister, and it is earnestly hoped nothing will occur to prevent Mr. Lowell from being present. Mr. Bright’s chief services in Parliament have been in connection with such measures of reform as free trade, the repeal of the corn laws, the abolition of slavery, the purification of the Indian service and the extension of the franchise. Such a statement ns this, however, represents but a small part of his life work, for his voice and influence have been given to many other causes. Agreeably with his Quaker proclivities he has always advocated peace between nations, and has been a constant and at times bitter opponent to the established church. Ilis contempt for royalty was very marked in his early career, and the Queen for a long time entertained a great dislike for him. But the splendid character of the man softened her animosity, and, in fact, changed it to admiration, so that now it is an open secret that Mr. Bright is one of her Majesty’s favorites. How much this change in the Queen has had to do in modifying the views and tempering tne criticism of her whilom adversary it would be difficult to determine, but that such a change has really taken place is unquestionable. The royal family have a hold on the affections of the English people which is constantly strengthening, and as for a constitutional monarchy restricting the liberties of its subjects, that notion has been exploded so far as the English government is concerned long ago. Possibly Mr. Bright perceived the destiny of events, and as the mountain would not come to Mohammed, he concluded to adopt the other alternative. In other matters, however, the great reformer has had the pleasure of seeing the mountains give way, for, from having been, in regard to some of his cherished views, in an apparently. hopeless minority, he lias stood his ground until the mass of his countrymen have planted themselves on the same platform, and has thus, on more than one occasion, become the adored lender of majorities, most of whom formerly nl most despised him. So goes the whirligig of time! Twenty years ago there was not. to all appearances, in the entire arena of British politics, a man less likely to ever fill n cabinet position than John Bright, and one who should have predicted that such a thing would come to pass would have been regarded as a dreamer of absurdities, doubtless by even Mr. Bright himself. Since then, however, he has been several times one of her Majesty’s ministers, and has several times, without detriment to his availability for ministerial timber, resigned this place of power. MR. bright’s RANK AS A STATESMAN. Considered as a statesman, Mr. Bright must be given rank by the side of Mr. Gladstone, though he has not shown the practical qualities which distinguish the latter, and has not, therefore, rendered his country nearly as much hard service in the routine work of putting reforms into operation. As an orator he is the superior of Gladstone, whether in Parliament or before the people, for the Prime Minister commits tne fault, for which a great American statesman is notorious, of taxing the comprehension of his hearers with lengthy sentences, whereas the man whom Birmingham delights to honor chops up his ideas into well-sized, clean-cut expressions, whose meaning sparkles on their surface, and which carry conviction alike to the thoughtful and the thoughtless. In their popularity with the masses, these two men are excelled by no other two in the country—perhaps by none in the whole world. Gladstone is “The Peoples’ William,” and Bright has long been called “The People’s Tribune,” and both have earned these soubriquets in the most honorable manner. They have resorted to none of the tricks of the demagogue; they have always been patriots and statesmen. They have not followed public opinion; they have led it. Mr. Bright’s confidence in the good sense of the masses of his fellow-countrymen has always been very marked, and occasionally it has reached the height of sublimity, as, for instance, when he closed one of the greatest orations of his life by tli£ cry: “This is our faith, this is our hope. Let us try the people.” Having consistently trusted the people, they in turn have trusted him, and in the tribute to his genius, his eloquence, his statesmanship and his lofty personal character, w hich next Monday will witness, not Birmingham alone will take part, nor this nation in general, but those who love liberty and admire true greatness in all the nations under the jun. MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFB*B SISTER. Another of the important events that are take place on the 11th of this month is
the presentation, for its second reading before the House of Lords, of a bill to legalize marriage with a deceased wife’s sister. This measure has been strenuously advocated by | Mr. Bright for many years, and that it should i be brought forward under circumstances I which make its adoption almost a certainty | just when its ablest champion is celebrating his silver wedding with his constituency, is, to say the least, a very happy coincidence. Mr. Bright himself has no doubt of its passage. A large majority in the House of Commons is a foregone conclusion; the hitch has always been with the Lords. But popular clamor, the influence of royalty and other ! causes combined, have opened the eves of ; their lordships to such a decree that it is now generally expected they will put the measure through. There will be a bitter contest, however, as, in fact, there has already been. When a man like Lord Shaftsburv, who, strange to say, is on the wrong side of this controversy, says, as he did last night, that the upper chamber ought to continue to stand out against the proposed change, even though their opposition to the will of the Commons led to their extinction as a legislative body, you may guess that there is blood on the moon, and that it will not be easily wiped olf. The fiercest opponents of this measure are the ecclesiastics of the established church. Dissenting ministers, as a rule, favor it, but the bishops and clergy will not be conciliated, and they really, in many cases, carry on their side of the conflict with very little regard for the kind of weapons they use. To attribute unworthy motives to those who are seeking to legalize marriage between the parties in question is a method of assault in which from long practice they have become quite skilled. This accounts for the recent rumor in regard to the matrimonial intentions of Mr. Bright. That gentleman has the misfortune to be a widower, and his deceased wife left a marriageble sister behind her. Being ardent'y in favor of having marriage with a uecesed wife’s sister made legal, the case against him is as clear as daylight. Thus the church party are determined and unscrupulous. They will do everything possible to hold tne law as it is. but they are sure to be beaten at last, and Mr. Bright and many other good judges think the day of their discomfiture near at hand. The friends of this measure,' in seeking to mould public opinion, have shown an enterprise that is rather unusual in politecal agitations in this country. They desire to win, for they have worked hard and long in a good cause. One of their wisest strokes was in seeking the opinions of State Governors and newspaper editors in the United States. The law against this class of marriages not existing there, it was thought that men of influence and observation in that country should be given an opportunity to testify as to the results. The replies, of course, admitted the frequency of such alliances, and were almost unanimously favorable to them. “There lias never been any objection to such marriages.” says one. “Their effect on social and domestic life has been excellent,” says another, while a third declares that “the general observation is that family ties are more certainly, more kindly and more affectionately preserved where the father marries his deceased wife’s sister.” These are fair samples of the whole, and their publication has done good. Considerable capital has also been made for the proposed bill out of tlie fact that it is looked upon with favor by the royal family. Measures have been passed from time to time which have contravened the royal wishes and which have been met at their different stages by the active opposition of royalty. But the argument in such cases is that the people must make the laws, not the sovereign. When, however, it is known that the Queen and her family favor a bill to which many of her subjects object, the fact is duly paraded, and it has its weight. How much her Majesty is influenced in favoring this measure by the attachment of Prince Louis, of Hesse, widower of the Princess Alice, for the Princess Beatrice, the Queen’s enemies must determine; but that if the law were changed, this royal pair would take early advantage of the liberty given them lias been pretty generally understood here for some time past. That this couple should be kept on the ragged edge of suspense while this matter is being settled shows that the course of true love does not always run smooth even in palaces. It would seem, however, that in not being able to do what they desire to do, the children of her Majesty are just now in peculiarly ill luck. Beatrice wants to marry Hesse, and cannot because the law is against her; the Duke of Albany wants to be Governor-general of Canada, and cannot because the ministry is against him. The only reason I have heard for the refusal of this young man’s services in the capacity referred to is the fear that he might put on airs in Canada and not be sufficiently mindful of the instructions sent him by his superiors in office at home. But this is very thin, and I suppose the real secret is in the strong radical tendencies of the present government, for it is well known that among Mr. Gladstone’s advisers are some who are not only averse to conferring any additional power upon the members of the royal family, but who would strip them, if they could, of even the semblance of authority which they now have. Personally the Duke of Albany is quite unobjectionable. He is, perhaps, of all the princes the best fitted for public usefulness, for he possesses in a marked degree the characteristics of the Prince Consort, being at once orator, philanthropist and statesman. The other important event fixed for Monday, the 11th, is widely different from either of those already mentioned, though in this, as in them, a deep interest will be felt in America. I refer to the trial of the dynamite conspirators, which will begin on that day. This case having been passed by the examining magistrates and the grand jury, there is a pretty general expectation that the accused parties will be found guilty. If they are, the sentence they will receive will be a stunner, you can rest assured, for the courts of England do not convict men of such a combination of crimes as “treasonfelony, conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to overawe the Queen” to let them off with a song. Another certainty with reference to this trial is that it will soon be over. The mills of British justice grind sure, but they not grind slow, as has been well demonstrated by the quick work made by the Phoenix Park murderers, the last of whom pays the forfeit of his life this day. With equal dispatch will the courts put through the dynamite conspirators. There is no likelihood of any guilty man escaping, and while we await the verdict, we will hope that no innocent man may be punished, and that, ns far as consistent with the good ends sought, justice in these painful cases may be tempered with mercy. h. t. Striking Feminine Trait, New York Wcrld. A rather curious psychological discovery was made on Wednesday at the Battery swimming-bath, during the thunder-storm, and it was that all the girls, with one accord, came precipitately out of the water when it commenced to rain, for fear they would get wet. This led to the philosophical remark of a policeman that wherever a woman may be when it thunders she always wants to go somewhere else. This has no doubt been often noticed, but it has never been so well expressed. The savans who have charge of the swimming-baths record it as a noticeable superiority of the girls over the boys that they always know enough to come in when it rains.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 18S3.
THE LAST GREAT BATTLE. General Sheridan’s Account of the Last Blow at Lee’s Army, The Fighting in the Vicinity of Appomattox on tile Days Preceding the Surreutler of the Confederate Army, North American Review. After detailing at some length the fighting on the 4th and sth of April, and the advance of the infantry to Amelia Courthouse on the 6th, General Sheridan says: We now come to the morning of the 7ih. I thought that Lee w'ould not abandon the direct road to Danville through Prince Eiward’s Court-house, and early on the morning of the 7th directed General Crook to follow up his rear, while with Merritt (Custer and Devin’s divisions) I swung off to the left, and moved quickly to strike the Danville road six or eight, miles south of Prince Edward’s Court-house, and thus again head or cut off all or some of the retreating Confederate army. On reaching that road it was found that General Lee’s army had not passed, and my command was instantly turned north for Prince Edward’s Courthouse. A detachment ordered to move with the greatest celerity via Prince Edward’s Court-house, reported that Lee had crossed the Appomattox at and near Farmville, and that Crook bad followed him. On looking at the map it would be seen that General Lee would be obliged to passthrough Appomattox Court-house and Appomattox Station on the railroad to reacli Lynchburg by the road he had taken north of the Appomattox river, and that was the longest road to get there. He had given the shortest one—the one south of the river—to the cavalry. General Crook was at once sent for, and the three divisions, numbering perhaps at that time 7.000 men, concentrated on the night of the 7th of April at and near Prospect Station on the Lynchburg and Richmond railroad, and Appomattox Station became the objective point of the cavalry for the operations of the next day, the Bth. Meantime my scouts had not been idle, but had followed down the railroad, looking out for the trains with the 300,000 rations which they had telegraphed for on the night of the 4th. Just before reaching Appomattox Station, they found five trains of cars feeling their way along in the direction of Burkesville Junction, not knowing exactly where Lee was. They induced the person in charge to come further on by their description of the pitiable condition of the Confederate troops. Our start on tho morning of the Bth was before the sun was up, and having proceeded but a few miles, Major White, of the scouts, reached me with the news that the trains were east of Appomattox Station, that lie had succeeded in bringing them on some distance, but was afraid that they would again be run back to the station. Intelligence of this fact was immediately communicated to Crook, Merritt and Custer, and the latter, who had the was urged not*to let the trains escape, and I pushed on and joined him. Before reaching the station Custer detailed two regiments to make a detour, strike the railroad beyond the station, tear up the track, and secure the trains. This was accomplished, but on the arrival of the main body of our advance at the station it was found that the advance guard of Lee’s army was just coming on the ground. A sanguinary engagement at once ensued. The enemy was driven off. forty pieces of artillery captured and 400 baggage wagons burned. The railroad trains had been secured in the first onset, and were taken possession of by locomotive engineers, soldiers in the command, whose delight at again getting at their former employment was so great that they produced the wildest confusion by running the trains to and fro on the track, and making such an unearthly screeching with the whistles, that I was at one time on the point of ordering the trains burnt; but we finally got them off, and ran them to our rear ten or fifteen miles, to Ord and Gibbon, who. with the infantry, were following the cavalry. The cavalry continued the fighting all that night, driving the enemy back to the vicinity of Appomattox Court-house, a distance of about four miles, thus giving him no repose, and covering the weakness of the attacking force. I remember well the little frame house just south of the station where the headquarters of the cavalry rested, or rather, remained, for there was no rest the night of the Bth. Dispatches were going back to our honored chief. General Grant, and Ord was requested to push on tiie wearied infantry. To-morrow was to end our troubles in all reasonable probability, but it was thought necessary that the infantry should arrive, in order to doubly insure the result, Merritt, Crook and Custer were at times there. JOY OF THE TROOPS. Happiness was in every heart. Our long and weary labors were about to close; our dangers soon to end. There was no sleep: there had been but little for the previous eight or nine days. Before sunrise General Ord came in, reporting the near approach of his command. Altera hasty consultation about positions to be taken up by the incoming troops, we were in the saddle and off for the front, in the vicinity of Appomattox Court-house. As we were approaching the village a heavy line of Confederate infantry was seen advancing, and rapid firing commenced. Riding to a slight elevation, where I could get a view of the advancing enemy, I immediate.y sent directions to General Merritt for Custer’s and Devins’s divisions to slowly fall back, and. as they did so, to withdraw to our right flank, thus unmasking Ord’s and Gibbons's infantry. Crook and Mackenzie, on the extreme left, were ordered to hold fast. I then hastily galloped back to give General Ord the benefit of my information. No sooner bad the enemy’s line of battle reached the elevation from which my reconnoissance had been made, and from whence could be distinctly seen Ord’s troops in the distance, than he called a sudden halt, and a retrogade movement began to a ridge about one mile to his rear. Shortly afterward I returned from General Ord to the front, making for General Merritt’s buttle-flag on the right flank of the line. On reaching it the order to advance was given, and every guidon was bent to the front, and as we swept by toward the left of the enemy’s line of battle, he opened a heavy fire from artillery. No heed was paid to the deadly missiles, and, with the wildest yells, we soon reached a point some distance to his right and nearly opposite Appomattox Court-house. Beyond us, in a low valley, lay Lee and the remnant of his army. There did not appear to be much organization, except in the advanced troops under General Gordon, whom we had been fighting. and a rear guard under General Longstreet, still further up the valley. Formations were immediately commenced to make a bold and sweeping charge down the grassy slope, when an aide-de-camp from Custer, filled with excitement, hat in hand, dashed up to me with the message from his chief: “Lee has surrendered! Do not charge; the white flag is up!” Orders were give to complete the formation, but not to charge. Looking to the left to Appomattox Courthouse a large group was seen near by the lines of Confederate troops that had fallen back to that point. General Custer had not. come back, and, supposing that he was with the group at the court-house, I moved on a gallop down the narrow ridge, followed by my staff. The court-house was, perhaps, three-fourths of a mile distant. We had not gone far before a heavy fire was opened on
ns from a skirt of timber to our right, and distant not much over three hundred yards. 1 halted for a moment and, taking off my hat, called out that the Hag was being violated, but could not stop the firing, which now caused us all to take shelter in a ravine running parallel to the ridgs we were on, and down which we then traversed. As we approached the court-house, a gentle ascent had to be made. I was in advance, followed by a sergeant carrying my battle-flag. Within one hundred to one hundred and fifty yards from the court-house and Con fade-ate lines some of the men in their ranks brought down their guns to aim on us, I and great effort was made by their officers jto keep them from firing. I halted, and hearing some noise behind, turned in the saddle, and saw a Confederate sol- ! dier attempting to take my battle-flag I from the color-hearer. This the sergeant had j no idea of submitting to. and had drawn Lis | saber to cut the man down. A word from ! me caused him to return his saber, and take the Hag hack to the staff officers, who were some little distance behind. I remained stationary a moment after these events, then calling a staff officer directed him to go over to the group of Confederate officers and demand what such conduct meant. Kind apologies were made, and we advanced. The superior officers luel were General J. B. Gordon and General Cadmus M. Wilcox, the latter an old army officer. A3 soon as the first greeting was over, a furious firing commenced in front of our own cavalry, from whom we had only a few minutes before separated. General Gordon seemed to be somewhat disconcerted by it. I remarked to him: “General Gordon, your men fired on me as I was coming over here, and undoubtedly they have done the same to Meritt’s and Custer’s commands. We might just as well let them fight it out.” SOUTH CAROLINIANS WHO NEVER SURRENDER. To this General Gordon did not accede. I then asked, “Why not send a staff officer and have your people cease firing? They are violating the flag.” He said: “I have no staff officer to send.” I replied, “I will let you have one of mine,” and calling for Lieutenant Vanderbilt Allen, he was directed to report to Gen. Gordon and carry his orders. The orders were to go to General Geary, who was in command of a small brigade of South Carolina cavalry, and ask him to discontinue the firing. Lieutenant Allen dashed off with the message, but on delivering it to General Geary was taken prisoner. with the remark from that officer that he did not care for white flags, that South Carolinians never surrendered, It was about this time that Merritt, getting impatient at the supposed treacherous firing, ordered a charge of a portion of his command. While Generals Gordon and Wilcox were engaged in conversation with me, a cloud of dust, a wild hurrah, a flashing of sabers, indicated a charge, and the ejaculations of my staff officers were heard, “Look! Merritt has ordered n charge!” The flight of Geary’s brigade followed; Lieutenant Allen was thus released. The last gun had been fired, and the last charge made In the Virginia campaign. While the scenes thus related were taking place, the conversation I now speak of was occurring between General Gordon and myself. After the first salutation, General Gordon remarked: “General Lee asks for a suspension of hostilities pending the negotiation which he lias been having for the last day and night with General Grant.” I rejoined: “I have been constantly informed of the progress of the negotiations, and think it singular that while such negotiations are going on, General Lee should have continued his march and attempted to break through my lines this morning with the view of escaping. I can entertain no terms except the condition that General Lee will surrender to General Grant on his urrival here. I have sent for him. If these terms are not accepted, we will renew hostilities.” General Gordon replied: “General Lee’s army is exhausted. There is no doubt of his surrender to General Gfrant on his arrival.” General Wilcox, whom I knew quite well, he having been captain of the company to w<jich 1 was attached as a cauei in tiie military academy, then stepped to his hor=e, and taking hold of the saddle-bags, said, in a jocular way: “Here, Sheridan, take these saddle-bass; they have one soiled shirt and a pair of drawers. You have burned everything else I had in the world, and I think you are entitled to this also.” He was alluding, of course, to the destruction of the baggage trains which had been going on for some days. When the terms above referred to were settled. each army agreed to remain statu quo until the arrival of General Grant, whom Colonel Newball, my adjutant-generai. had gone for. Generals Gordon and Wilcox then returned to see General Lee, and promised to come hack in about thirty minutes, and during that time General Ord joined me at the court house. At the end of thirty or forty minutes General Gordon returned in company with General Longstreet. The latter, who commanded Lee’s rear guard back on the Farmville road,seemed somewhat alarmed lest General Meade, who was following up from Farmville, might attack, not knowing the condition of affairs at the front. To prevent this, L proposed to send my chief-of-staff, General J. W. Forsyth, accompanied by a Confederate officer, back through the Con federate army and inform General Meade of the existing state of affairs. He at once started, accompanied by Colonel Fairfax, of General Longstreet’s staff, met the advance of the Army of the Potomac, and communicated the conditions.
