IT ia one thing for the United States to welcome the down trodden in all lands to our shores, and quite another thing for a noble lord of high degree like Lord Dufferiri,.for instance, to propose wholesale deportation of the Irish peasants to Manitoba. One reason why we object to this iss because Manitoba is a good place to slip off, and in the natural course of events the now comers would slip into the United States. However, this is not likely to prove so serious as to render Congressional action neccessary. The Land Leaguers are ndt partial to Mani toba breezes.

A CONDITIONAL REPRIEVE. A very curi0i$, and if we are not very greatly mistaken, an unprecedented oc •currency took place at a New Jersey execution tho other day. The story of the affair is told in the columns of the New York Sun as follows:
Murderers who have persisted up to the last day of life in declaring their innocence sometimes confess everything on the gallows.
Day before yesterday a woman and a man were hanged in Newark about whose guilt theVe was doubt in the minds -of the Stato authorities. They had been convicted upon circumstantial evidence "There was reason to believe that both were guilty of the murder stronger reason to believe that one of the two, either the woman or the man, was guilty. But these reasons were not conclusive. The evidence left the prosecuting, officers in some doubt.
This doubt, on the part of the State, was shown in an extraordinary way. We are informed that the District Attorney was stationed near the gallows, with two reprieves in his pocket, one for the woman and the other for the man, both papers bqing nia^e in due form and signed by the Gofernq| of New Jersey. Only one of the reprieve^ was to be used under any circumstances. If the woman, Mrs. Meierhofer, had confessed her guilt and had exculpated Jhe man by her confession, the death sentence of the man, Lam mens, would not have been (executed. If Lammens, when brought faco to face with -death on Thursday morning, had confessed, cxculpating~lils alleged accomplice, the woman would hare been allowed to live. Neither reprieve was to be u?od unless in the circumstances specified.
The woman was hanged first. That •done, we are made toundersiand, because the State officers believed it to be more probable that she would confess with the rope around her neck and exonerate Lammens, than that Lammens would confess, exonerating her. In other words, while the innocence of both the condemned persons was regarded as possible, the chances of the "man's innocence were thought the greater.
In the community where the murder, the several trials, and the hanging occurred, there is said to be widespread doubt of I immen's g*ilt. It was expected that, at, the last mOtnent, when she had no further hope of life, Mrs. Meierhofer would confess ihR her alleged accom filiec bad no part ii! the crime.
We have nothing to do with the doubts •and expectations ot the public in this respect, save as-they were reflected in the .course of tli* officers of justice.
1
Here, thenrtcere twojyretchcs sent to.the
-fSTldws with the question of their guilt or innocence tfmurdergtill undetermined. The final determination of that question was left to th&ropt. The life of one was .made to depend upon the extent to which the terror of imminent death would operate open the mind'of the other.
The experiuienF .failed. Both died protesting their innocence. The reprieves •were not ysed. The awful doubt as]great now as when the reprieves, ready for service, were put in the hands of the Public Proseeutor.
E E N A O I A I FIQIIT.
Last week John C. New withdrew from the Senatorial race in favor of Benjamin Harrison by the publication in the Journal of a double-leaded editorial article in which the election of Gen. Harrison Was conceded and the party was urged to make it unanimous. Though the article did not have the name of Mr. New attached to it, it was placed conspicuously in the editorial columns of hi9 own paper and was understood as giving his opinions and probably was written by his own hand. At the time ef its republication in the GAZETTE it was generally understood that Harrison's election was thereby assured, for Mr. New has been from the start his most active competitor. Now, however, comes Will Cumback and in a gushing letter to Mr. Harrison withdraws in his favor, resigning alleged chances of his own which never had any existence outside of his own imagin ation. Twelve years ago Cumback had, as he supposed, the Senatorship in his grasp, and so telegraphed his family, but the next.morning the late Judge Hughes, at that time a member of the Legislature, made so vigorous, pointed and unanswerable a speech against him that nothing remained to be done except remove cumback's political corpse. Pratt was then nominated. But since that time Camback has been posing for pretty much every large office that has been going and has cohstantly been erecting lightning rods to catch the coquettish bolt which has invariably sought other and loftier rods. His canvass this time has been mere child's play, and the most ludicrous feature of it is his withdrawal "for the sake of harmony," as if the haff dozen votes which he would get at the most could seriously disturb party harmony. His whole motive in the move, however, is to make a record for self-sacrifice for the sake of the party, and with that for his stock in trade he will be an applicant for a collectorship or postoffice or a mission to some warm climate.
The fight is now almost entirely in Gen. Harrison's hands, but John Butler and Godlove 8. Orth are still the field. At least they have not formally retired, and only a few days ago were at some pains to define their position on certain leading questions asked them by six or eigh kingmakers of'Indianapolis, who were laboring under the hallucination that theycould write themselves, "We the people of Indiana."
Gen. Harrison will be elected. He has fairly won the position. The canvass was made in accordance with his views and, though his party only had a plurality, that is sufficient. He favors the retirement of the greenbacks and the dis continuance of the coinage of silver. A majority of the people of Indiana are opposed to him on these matters but that majority did not have sense enough to unite and this efficient minority which knew what it wanted has a right to do as it pleases. We trust our Greenback friends will rejoice over this magnificent achievement of theirs in securing the election to the U. S. Senate for six years of a gentle men who is an able and experienced champion of those extreme hard money views which they are supposed to heartily detest. And in return for their assistance in this matter it would be no more than common courtesy for Senator liar, rison ti secure legislation looking to the establishment of that asylum for their benefit, the erection of which he was so much in favor of a few years ago.
GOVERNOR PORTERS INAUGURAL. The gubernatorial inauguration ceremonies came off in English's Opera House yesterday afternoon in accordance with the program arranged last week.
Governor Porter began his inaugural by congratulating the people on the re-, newal of business prosperity.
He advocates greater economy in government and the simplification of .laws to that end.
For the supervision of the benevolent institutions of the State, he recommends the appointment of aboard of five visitors composed of persons noted for their zeal in benevolent undertakings.
He discusses at sotap length the constitutional amendments, dwelling on their merits and criticising the Supreme Court for their decision, and concludes that portion of his address by urging the Legislature to pass an act for their resubmission to the people.. lie dissents from the recommendation of Gov. Gray in his message for a constitutional contention, and thinks that the present arrangements for amending the constitution are amply sufficient for all practical purposes. lie recommends that provision be made law for the employment of an engineer make a survey of the swamp lands^ of the state. j, '"?*,
He pays a high compTinient to the department of statistics and geology, and urges that liberal appropriations be made its maintainance.
for
Reference is made by him to the changes that have been made from time to time in the laws of the state giving women larger property rights under the law, and he then asks the legislature to give a patient hearing to "certain ladies of high mental endowment and culture, whose lives and examples,as wives and
mm
mothers, have won for them in the communities in which they live the greatest possible respect," who will make application to them for a passage of a constitutional amendment conferring upon wo men the right of suffrage. He very humbly but foxily retrains from -'obtruding his opinions on the Legislature concerning the wisdom of the proposed amendment" but leaves the matter to their wis dom.
A tribute is paid by uim to the late Gov. Williams. A statement of fact is next made concerning the work of the commission which has been revising the laws, and he dissents from the recommendation made by them that provision be made for the appointment of aBoard of Pardons. Inthis connect'on he makes the extraordi" nary statement that there have been very few abuses of the pardoning power by his predecessors. This will be good news in the jails and penitentiaries.
He then devotes some time to a discussion of the rights of citizenship and other national topics proberly belonging to the inaugural of President Garfield.
He takes strong ground in reference to jhe alledged outrage perpetrated on the soldiers of the State by the failure to put in the corner stone of the State House some record of their doings, and urgea the Legislature, if it can be done without impairing the bond of the builders, to reopen the stone ahd insert such record.
He concludes his address by urging the Legistators to go earnestly to work and finish the labor of the session in the sixty days allotted to them.
Lieutenant-Governor Hanna's address was short and contained nothing worthy of note

The Queen'' Speech at the Opening of Parliament.
What is Thought oftheParnell Trial by the Dublin Press-
THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
LONDON, Jan. 6.—The following is the Queen's speech, delivered on the opening of Parliament to-day:
My Lords and Gentlemen—I have called you at this period, earlier than usual, to the resumption of your labors, as some affairs of more than common uigeney demand your attention. My relations with foreign powers continue to be triendly and harmonious. The main question relating to frontier between Turkey and Montenegro has been solved The powers are now engaged in communications which have in view the determination of the frontier between Turkey and Greece. Some important portions of the treaty of Berlin which have so long remainea without fulfillment continue to form an object of my anxious attention. Arising in the Transvaal has recently imposed upon me the duties of taking military measures with a view to the prompt vindication of my authority, and has of necessity set aside for a time any plan for securing to European settlers that full control over their own local affairs without prejudice to the interests of the natives which I had been desirous to confer. I regret that war in Basute Land continues, notwithstanding the efforts of the Cape government. It would cause me much satisfaction if a suitable occasion should present itself for friendly action on my part with a view of the restoration of peace The war in Afghan istan has been brought to a close, and with the exception of the Candahar force my troops have been recalled within the Indian frontier. It is not my intention that the occupation of Candahar shall be permanently maintained, but still the unsettled condition of the country and con sequent difficulty of establishing a native government have delayed for a time the withdrawal ot my army from that position. Papers on several subjects to which I have adverted as well as further correspondence on military estimates of India will be presented to you. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, the estimates for the services of the coming year are in a forward state of preparation, and will be speedily laid, before you, my lords and gentlemen. There has been a gradual, though not very rapid improvement in the trade of the country, and I am now able to entertain a more favorable expec tation of the revenue for the year than could form at its commencement. The anticipation with which I last addressed you of a great diminution of distress in
Ireland, owing to an abundant harvest, was realized, but 1 grieve to state that the social condition of the country has assumed an alarming character. Agra rian crimes in general have multiplied far beyond the experience ot recent years. Attempts upon life have not grown in the same proportion as other offenses, but I must add that efforts are being made for personal protection far beyond all former precedent by the police under the direction,of the executive. I have to notice other evils yet more widely spread. The administration of justice has been frustrated! with respect to these offenses through the impossibility of procuring evidence and an extended system of terror has thus been established in various parts of the country, which has paralyzed everything.
Hence with little of available guidance from former precedent, I have deemed it right to put in action the ordi nary powers of the law before making any new demand. But a demonstration of their insufficiency already supplied by present circumstances of the county leads me now to apprize you that proposals will be immediately submitted to you for intrusting me with additional powers necessary in my judgment, not only for vindication of order and public law, but likewise to secure, on behalf of my subjects, protection for life and property and personal liberty of action, subject to primary and imperious obligations to which I have just referred. I continue to desire not less than heretofore to prosecute the removal of grievances and work of legislative ira provement in Ireland as well as in Great Britain. The Irish land act of 1870 has been productive of great benefits and has much contributed, to the security and comparative well-being of the occupiers of soil without diminishing the valued or disturbing the foundations of property in some respects, however, and more particularly under the strain of recent and calamitous years, the protection which it supplied has not been found sufficient either in Ulster or in other provinces. I recommend you to undertake the further development of its principles in a manner conformable to the special wants of Ireland, both as regards the relation of landlord and tenant and with a view to effective efforts for giving to a larger portion of the people by purchase a permanent proprietary interest in the soil. This legislation will require a removal for the purposes in view of all obstacles arising out of limitation in ownership of property with due provision for securitv of the interests involved. A measure will be submitted to you for the establishment of a county government in Ireland founded upon representative principles and framed with an aim of conferring popular control over the ex penditure and of suffering a yet more serious want by extending the lormation of habits of local self-government.

A Chicago Broker's Happy In vestment:
From the Ghfcago Journal. Lewis H. O'Conor, Esq., whose office is located at 93 Washington street, this city, lately related the following in the hearing of one of our reporters as an evidence of special good fortune. I have been suffering said Mr. O'Conor, far a number of weeks with a very severe pain in my back, believed to be from the effects of a cold contracted while on the lakes. I had been prescribed for by several of our physicians and used various remedies, Three days ago, I abandoned them all, and bought a bottle of 8t. Jacobs Oil, applied it at night before retiring and to-1 day feel like anew man. I experienced almost instant relief and now feel no pain whatever.
See the Conquering Hero etc.} From the Cleveland Penny Press. Among the most wonderful articles of the period is St. Jacobs Oil. The Hon. Leonard bwett of Chicago, pronounces it the most thorough conqueror of pain that he has ever known.
Patterson meant what he', said. The following tribute to a well. known and meritorious preperation will be read I with pleasure by all who are suffering from pulmonry complaints themselves, or have friends afflicted. (=3
I hereby ciretify that my boy, ten years I of age, was taken sick with typhoid fever I followed by congestion of the lungs. Dr. Dyer, an eminent physician of this placc» stated that he thought the boy would run down with Quick Consumption. A Mr. Patterson told me that Coe's Cough Bal sam was curing similar eases, and advised me to purchase it. When I car ried it home, my wife laughed at me but I knew that Mr. Patterson meant just what he said, and I determined to try it. Two bottles effectually cured him, so that now he is as tough and healthy as any body. Huntington Conn. Aug. 20 1866
