THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.

John Bright and his colleagues in Parliament, Dixon and Wentz, addressed their constitntonts in Birmingham last night. Bright in his speech passed over tbe question of tbe slave circular issued by the Admirality. The matter was not so easy as some supposed. He questioned, however, whether it was necessary, for the Government to meddle with it. He hoped they would explain that affair and the Suez canal purchase satisfactorily. Bright confined himself almost entirely to replying to Lord Derby's speech at Edinburgh. He attacked the law of primogeniture and monopolization of land by a few great holders, and argued that the possessors of land should be empowered to bequeath as they pleased Referring to the future policy of the Liberals, be advocated the assimilation of country to borough franchise. He pointed to Birmingham with 60,000 electors returning three members to Parliament, while there were seventy members whose united constituencies numbered less than CO,000 therefore, a redistrobution of seats was necessary. Bright concluded as follows: What I ask you to undertake is to strengthen and confirm your own power by extending your Irancbise and rights to your fellow countrymen. Give the rights you enjoy to those who are now excluded give them also the freedom of the soil on which t^ey live.

A vote of confidence in tbe representatives of Birmingham in Parliement was carried by acclamation. Two amendments were moved—one censuring th#Bction of the members in regard to direct representation of labor, and another denouncing their action on the Tichborne question, but the movers were silenced by the uproar. Bright explained that he disapproved putting up candidates for Parliament as especial representatives of the workingmen, because having throughout his career aimed to get rid of classes, and have the people work as one nation,bethought it in opportune now the object was attained, to revive class divisions.

A CENTENNIAL DRAMA.

Paris, Jan. 23.—The jury in the Micbado competition for pliays on the American Revolution awarded no first prize, fearing the public would not ratify their decision. The two pieces to which the second prize was awarded the jury agreed in pronouucing remarkable works, possessing great merit. That entitled "A Great Citizen" is the joint production of M. M. Arrnand, Antoise and Lafitte,. the latter being the pseudonym of the well known

STew

oet Francis Coppee. The play "The World"is by Villiers Lisle Adam, and "Free America" by Adolphe Michael. A fourth production, entitled "The Patriots/' is written by an American who takes the name ol Fernando Armand'. It is described as lull of movement and life, but deviates from the programme laid down. It is* believed if will have great success.

The Tifnes thinks that the defeat of Holman's motion against specie pay­

The Daily Telegraph compassionates the Envoys on the reduction of their salaries. It says the best thing that the

The society stated that Spain is willing to make a great change respecting the relations Cuba to tbe mother Government in Madrid provided slavery is maintained in the colony. America will not agree to this, nor will England stoop to such dishonor. The memorialists in conclusion comniehded the question to.Lord Derby's able management. THE ENGLISH SECRETARY'S REPLY.

From the Punclay .Express. THAT QUJSS'i'luN OF DECENCY. Tho Journal says: "The oatrageous and malicious attack of The Express yesterday upon Mr.

Howe

is wholly unjustifiable and

indefensible. The article MI the Journal at which they took offense was written by Mr. Howe, and that article was merely a commendation of the Journal for tbe spirit of its criticisms upon the Hose of Tyrol and the Oates Opera. Mr. Howe did not say he. was present, but he can certaialy be allowed to condemn indecency and approve decency without shocking The Express, or without making au attack upon any one on thaf.paper, Our local did not know that there was any ill will existing at-The Express office when he unthoughtedly gave the author. After refiecting.on the matter, and learning of the feeling The Express bore toward Mr. Howe, he wont to the local of that paper .and asked him as a matter of fair treatment not to connect Mr. Howe with his article, which he refused to do. The Express had no right to know the name of the author of the article, and we can say that we would not have made an attack upon any person had they come to us under like circumstances. We regret that The Express learned tbe name of the author, because it gave them a chance to vent their spleen upon him."

In what respect was our attack upon Mr. Howe outrageous? Was there any thing in it that was not truf? Will the Journal or Mr. Howe dare to contradict ono word in i1?

In what rcspect was it malicious? Whatever grievance against Mr. Howe the Express may have, has existed lor" a long time, and no one Kuows better than he that we have foreborne to use against him the weapons our hands. If we had had malice it would have been gratified long» ago.

The truth is that, The Express has suffered in one way and'another without retaliation, a good deal of petty persecution in the -city preBs at the bands of Howe, whicti we thought- we had put an end to more than a year ago'wben we threatened to expose him but did Dot for reasons'of our own. We are sure that Mr. How© felt grateful for our action then, and be should have let us alone. The Express never said one unkind word of him that wo can recall. He had no personal grievances, and he eould easily have lorborne to attack us. Bht he would not. The discussion between the Express and Journal about tbe decency Or indecency ol Mrs. Richings-Bernardls performance was a matter that did not concern. Mr. Howe. He was hot present at the opera, ^and.-.knej«l^ngthing about, the matter. If the Express

There seems to be only one interpretation to put on the Journal's response —that Mr. Howe had no thought that the authorship of. his .communication would be discovered when he wrote it, and that the Journal thinks it did him a great wrong in giving his name But why?. If the communication was a hiauly or honorable one, a manly and honorable man should not seek to avoid the responsibility for writing it. The truth is that Mr. Howe has vented his malice and attacked private character' so often anonymously and with immunity in Terre Haute, that he.had come to think that vengeance' would never overtake him. We are not astonished lit the position which he takes in regard to this matter, but we marvel that the Journal should b» willing to defend an anonymous scribbler in his personal assaults. We can recall a time when that newspaper denounced with savage severity the anonymous destroyer of private character, having reference to the very man (thaugh it did not then know, it) whom it now ssems inclined to defend.

The Journal seems to intimate that the Expross has done something wrong in using the information given by one ofthe Journal's editors concerning the authorship of the communication the Journal attacking us. If the Journal thinks it can publish a villainous communication in regard to us, and that we will sit still sucking our thumbs, when we know its author, that newspaper is mistaken.

We will not permit the Journal to blink the. real issue by the. kind of stufi givenin the extract from yesterday's issue. If it wishes to defend Mr. Ho we in writing the "Town Talk" articles, let it say so if it desires to defend him in his solemn falsehoods concerning the authorship, let it say so.

The truth is that, as we' intimated, Rev E. Frank Howe was the writer for years ofthe vicious and malicious part of "Town Talk" of the Mail, in which he gratified his prejudices,- spites and animosities to his heart's content. This was not all. Repeatedly to members of his own congregation and to other citis9ns he. solemnly denied the authorship of those articles, thus adding falsehood to his other sins. Mr, Howe dares not deny one word of: this. •For years he has hadimansnity to say bis worst about everybody- and' everything distasteful to him in -.Terre Haute, and now that his own vicious transgressions come home to .him for answer, he is dumb and says not a. Word, ,r--

From Motday's Journal.

The following is the article of Mr. Howe in full, as originally publish ed in this paper THE THEATRICAL QUESTION—AN AP»

PRO VBMBNT OF OUR COURSE. To the editor of the Journal: Allow me to say that your Cfiti-

OR

v., ,,

Is ijj

error iu de!isiidlta|f that^" troope, three?, fourth of the persons" present'aro ulso in error. So it will seem that the position of this newspaper was not one that called for wholesale and bitter recriminations. That Mr. Howe indulged in such abuse, is fair evidence of. spite and malice and the time came for the Expi ess to strike back. For Mr. Howe or the Journal now to claim that he made no attack upon the Express or its editors i3 absurd. Here is the pointed part of his communication, comment upon which is unnecessary. "Of course, writeis who enjoy the indecency, s«nd judge the public by their own taste, will laugh and say: 'To the pure all things are pure but their sneor is a higher commendation than even words of praise Irom tho lovers of pority."-

GOOD NEWS FOR SMOKERS

SI AS FACTUBED BY THE AMEBIC AN CIGAB COMPANY

WESTPIELD, MASS.

(Who by the use o'f patented machinery are enabled to manufacture tho above celebrated cigar at a cost of twenty-seven per cent., leas than other manufacturers can produce a cigar of equal quality, thus giving their agents an opportunity to supply smokers with a superior 10'cent cigar for 5 cents) we place before our'patrons a WARRENTED GEN DINE .CLEAR HAVANA FILLED CIGAR FOR FIVE CENTS.

This company recognizes the fact that tbe majority of smokers prefer to buy their cigars as they need them, have adopted the plan or favoring tbe majority instead of the minority (as has baen the rule) by selling a single cigar at the same rate as five, ten, fifty, or a box.

By appointing a single ageucy in a city, they concentrate their busines, reduce their losses and expenses, and keep up the quality of the cigar, for the mutual advantage of themselves, the consumers and their agents. GIVE THEM A TBIAT AND BB CONVIKCFD.

A WORD OF CAUTION-—Numerousattempts have been made and are still being made to imitate this popular cigar. The style of box, labels and posters have been closely imitated in order to deceive the unsuspecting* Remember the name "LA PICCADURA," THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY BOSS 5 CENT CIGAR, and'seo that the name, LA PICCADURA, is branded on the box.

IBUNTIN & ARMSTRONG. Sole Ageiits, comer of Main and Sixth Streets.

cism upon the indecency of the stage as suggested by allusions in the Rose of Tyrol, anil your reply to the remarks'of the Express upon their criticismsj have the right ring in them, and meet the hearty approval of all lovers of purity and decency. There is no reason why tbe stage, in opera or play, should pander to the low and tbe base, any more than the lecturers or tbe performers in a^ popular concert., Aud wnen once it comes to be understood that there is no more danger of witnessing offense against decency on the stage than of hearing indecent expressions in a lecture, or indecent songs at a concert, one of the strongest objections to tne stage will be removed. If all the papers would speak out as clearly, and yet as kindly and sensibly, as you have done, tbey would render both the public and the stage a most valuable service. Of course, writers who enjoy this indecency, and judge the public by their own taste, will laugh and say, "To the pure all things are pure but their sneer is a higher commendation then even words of prabe from the lovers of purity.

This ,shows for itself^thatthere was not a word of attack on the Express. It simply approves the Journal's criticisms upon the articlo in question. "Of course, writeis who enjoy the indecency, and. judge the public by their own taste, will laugh and say: "To the pure all things are pure," but their sneer is a higher commendation than even words of praise from the lovers of purity,," 1

The, above Contains the words at which the Express takes offenss. Mr. Howe does not say the Exptesj writ* ers enjoy indecency, and taking tbe whole card we do not.believe it is fair Jnferen.ee to infer ~that faot either but thtf Express so chooses to take it and then assail Mr. Howe. We do not intend to enter any defense of the T. T. articles of the Mail—that paper is amply able to attend to this matter. That' Mr. Howe is T. T, we do not know, nor do we know who is.

We believe, and always have believed, that various parties .write these T. T. articles. They are a part of that paper, and have long ago been so treated by it.

The Journal does feel that they did a great wrong in giving the name of Mr. EJowe as the author. We know that it was done unthougnted^ ly by our local, withoutany authorir ty, and was not given that it should be made public by the Express- We know the Express did a great wrong when they used his name, after they were ashed*not to, they having received the name without authority. We characterized their attack under these circumstances as a gr.at outrage—and we believe that yet. They have no right to the name, and getting it as they did they had no right to. use it, and in doing so. we believe we are right in saying' that their attack was malicious. The article of Mr. Howe was not villainous, aud the Express so far has not dared to publish it in full. If they chose to argue iu their own minds that'they are classed as indecent writers by Mr. Howe, we still insist that they acted unwarrantedly in attacking bim upon the information of who was the author uuder tbe facto as we have heretofore stated them There has been no shrinking as to the responsibility of the communication. We say again that the only regret-we have is that we inno* cently gave the Express the uame because they seize upon if to vent their spite and malice upon Mr. Howe.

The Express seems anxious to take some credit to itself now forden'ouncing Mr. Howe as the author ofthe T. T. articles. They say that for years Mr. Howe has written what they call the malicious and vicious Dart of the

T.

It is singular that tliey have an at one'e and here at this late day though that it Was necessary to attack Mr. Howe as the author—that they should seizq upon this matter so vehemently now. If they articles were wrong and they knew who the author was, they should have spoken out then—not let years go by and they keep solemnly silent.

What the Journal blames the Express for in this whole matter in the use of the name wbeoTthey knew it war not given them for publication.

We do not be'ieve that the Express is justifiable for its malicions and ?i«. eious .attacks upon Mr. Howe on account of anything contained in this article. The Express is at liberty of course, to continue its attacks on Mr. Howe as

long as it sees proper, or in
