The MICHAEL DAVITT PRESENTS A VALU- Wash»otow, Aug. 21.—The American consul, Brigham, at Paso del Norte, will undoubtedly be called upon to resign by Secretary Bayard immediately after Special Envoy Sedgwick has completed his mission anil made his report to the state department. Some one has got to be sacrificed, and as the state department is daily growing stronger%m the belief that the facte of the case were not fairly and impartially given by Mr. Prigham, it is necessary to ask Ma resignation. Whatever-may have been the errors of "other-, it has been decided at the state department that Brigham "must go." Long before the Cutting caie arose Brigham was known as a sensationalist, and had on two or three occasions contributed largely to border sensations for the newspapers at El Paso, when there were few facte upon which to base them.

Nwr Londow, Conn., Aug. 21.—At the meeting of the Universal Peace union at Mystic the following resolutions were adopted:Whereas, Peace Is the sum of all virtue, the command of the Supreme Being and the highest purpose of man; and Whereas, There are obstacles to be removed and conditions to be established that it may be realised. Therefore we are convened. First, that we must individually and collectively follow after those things which make for peace and remove the causes and abolish the customs of war. ChiCaoo, Aug. 91.—Five thousand Irish- Amerioan men and woman faoed the platform in the armory of Battery D when, at 8 o'clock last night, Alexander Sullivan called to order the mass meeting which brought to a fitting close the convention of the Irish Land League of America. In the post of honor on the right of the chair side by side with Michael Davitt and the mother .of Charles Stewart Parnell sat Congressman Samuel J. Randall, of Philadelphia, who had come to attend the meeting, while on the left were Governor Oglesby, the member of the parliamentary delegation, and the various state executives of the land league. Immediately in front of the president's station and (pclosed in a mahogany case nearly three feet •quare, lined with watered silk of the national colors, was the magnificent silver tea service which later in the proceedings was presented to eF-President Patrick Egan on behalf of Parnsil and the Irish race, a*—so the inscription read—"a mark of respect and esteem for his devotedniees aqd courage, and his signal self-denial during exile for his country's cause." But the crowd had a temper which foreboded nothing pleasant. The everlasting "Marseillaise," played by a band of eight pieces, helped to inspire them. The first speaker, August Schlag, had hard work. People cried loudly: "Chicago 1 Chicago T but "Mr. Schlag seemed to avoid the real issue. Finally he ventured, with considerable timidity, a plunge into the subject, and upbraided in mild words the police tor its action at the Haymarket meeting. "Kill them! Kill the — ," cried the audience ferociously. Chicago, Aug. 21.—The jury in the Anarehist trial, after a tew hours deliberation, agreed upon the following verdict: "We, the Jury, And the defendants, August Spies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg guilty of murder as dMifed in the indictment, and fix the penalty at death. We find the defendant, Oscar W.

Thirdly, That each government should be represented in an international court of arbitration, to meet annually as a congress of nations, wherein all difficulties should be settled; and until governments, any or all, form courts of arbitration, the peace associations of the world should establish them, and prove by judicious and vigilant action their efficiency In promoting peace. That chambers of commerce, Knights of Labor and political parties will serve their own interests and contribute to the welfare of all by accepting arbitration as one of their cardinal principles. • "No, I wont advise that," the speaker replied. "Well, wind up then," came the prompt retort from the floor. Above the protective deck the battery is till farther protected by dde coal 10 feet in thickness, averaging 8 feet in depth, extending from tils akin of the vesnl in board; while below this deck a similar belt is provided 7 feet in thickness. The vessel is what is called a poop and forecastle decked ship with open gnn deck; two 8- Inch guns on the poop; two 8-inch guns on the forecastle decks; with the six-inch guns mounted in the intervening space on the gun deck Hie jury was then addressed by the judge, who them for the faithful and in- MHgut manner in Wliich they had performed their work, and then dismiaweri them. There was great excitement in the city over the result of the trial, and the prisoners were retained to the jail. Mr. Bchlag subsided under a faint applause.

PARI8 GREEN IN THE 8PRING. An Attempt to Poison tha Family of a Marshfuld, Mass., Aug. 2L—J. W. Wooster, who own* a cottage farm near a pretty grove and a lake, recently ordered out a tenant who failed to keep tip his rent payments, and three weeks ago rented It to Charles J. Hayes. About the time tha Hayes family moved into the cottage Mrs. Wooster, her daughter, Mrs. Dr. George W. Baker, Mrs. Baker's children and a lady friend visited the grove and drank freely of water from a spring near the cottage. Mrs. Baker was soon taken vary in, and for several days was confined to bar bed. JIn*. Wooster and one of the children wtre also taken sick. Three or four days later' Mr. Hayes informed Mr. Woeftir tint something was toe matter with the spring watee.fui.1 an examination revealed a large quantttjf of paris green on the bottom and. around the sides or the spring. It is believed the spring %as poisoned by the ejected family for the purpose of killing tha Ha(yss and Wposter families. Mrs. Baker has not yet recovered, and the poison has permeated her whole system. • landlord. The following speaker, Maurice Schultze, catered to the bloodthirsty tendencies of the audience. Gov. Oglesby was the first speaker. He tendered the Irish visitors a cocdial welcome to the state; requested tfeem to carry back the authoritative information that tie allegiance to the Irish cause in the west was without political distinction, and after having occupied forty minutes in a eulogy of the Irish in the United Stat—, gave Kay to Samuel J. Randall. The ex-speaker received a right royal welcome. He said that the struggle now going on in Ireland was a matter of Interest not only to Ireland, but to every civilised nation throughout the world. No Irishman shoUd rest until Ireland was free and self governed, and the people of America would give them all the support that was neoeanry or desired. He would tell Mr. Redmsad in reply to his query that the policy of Mr. Parnell was eminently satisfactory, and would be supported' in this country by people of every r«%lon and shade of politics. He believed he voiced the seatiments of the entire Amerioan people, but he would warn them of a single danger. He w»s a politician and a partisan, and he was not ashamed of it, but lie would beg of them —of those Americans who were enlisted iq the cause of Ireland—not to let politics creep wttUn their aoaiiMhi During the excitement and general exulto- Uon upon the streets attendant upon the venD dk*, a wooden-tagged newspaper vender, named Henry Bendixen, better known as "Corkey," remarked in a loud tone that "the jyfy ought to be hanged." Instantly the crowd of citisens put their pennies in their pockets and moved on the fellow in a threatmanner."The American police," he said, "is the most unprincipled, corrupt, degraded, rowdy refuge or the entire world. Seven gaJ'i-'s are to bs erected in Chicago for the indented Anarchists. Wouldn't it be proper to have one i *Are gibbet and crucify American liberty?" The protective deck will be carried down to strengthen the ram-shaped bow, which will be thoroughly stiffened. The hull will be divided into numerous water-tight compartments by means of longitudinal and transverse bulkheads. Fifth, That as the success of arbitration depends largely upon competent arbitration, there should be instruction and pracv tice therein in schools and colleges and text books should be published, giving the history and success of the science, and thus drill in the art of peace. With eyes gleaming like balls of Are he stretched his hands beseechingly forward, saying: "I implore you to fight this struggle to the end. Don't be afraid of hanging. If you are 5,000 or 10,000 the victory is sure to beyours. Then all court and jury rigmarole will be superseded. One bomb thrown could of coarse, feomplish very little; when the police and llitia should try to attack yon again, then', It them get it hot and straight. That is your only chance of becominglnasters in place of slaves." Mr. Witzka, an Anarchist, dress&d in plain workman's garb, said: "Let our enemies take oil seven heads, but the Anarchist hydra has m«ny thousand heads." The motive power will be derived from two Mto (each in a water-tight compartment) at triple expansion engines in connection with four double-ended boilers about 14 feet in diameter. The engine* will ba capable of developing 10,900 horse power with forced draft From a tow growl the crowd gradually broke into a howl and rushed upon the fellow with shouts of "Hang him!" "Lynch him!" etc. Officer C. J. Morris, of the central lists il of police,' broke through the excited throng and rescued the fellow before violent hands were laid upon him. H« was taken to the station, when, with pale faoe and trembling voice, he safti he was bat jesting. Nevertheless he was taken to a cell, amid the shouts of approval at a number of the excited citisens. Sixth, That the recant message of the resident of the United States, and the many rills introduced in the Forty-ninth congress n favor of arbitration are marked evidences ft the growth [ot the peace principle. Bat ire view with alarm the steps taken by the same congress in imitation of despotic governments in providing for the construction of gons of large calibre An Old Ntwqnpw Carrier. Port Jkbvib, N. Y., Aug. 81.—In the neighboring village of Sparta, N. J., an old and respected citizen, Lewis P. Maine*, retired an Tuesday night in apparent good health, and was found dead in his bed the next morning. Forty yean ago, before there were any railroad! in this notion and whan mail facilities were exceedingly scanty, the weekly papers printed at Newton, the county seat, were delivered throughout the cottnty by private carriers, of whom Mr. Maines was one. Every Thursday morning for years he started out from the printing office on horseback, with the package of newspapers in his saddle bags and traversed the roads of the northern part of the county, delivering his budget of news from door to door. Of late years he has been sexton of the Sparta Presbyterian church. Mr. Grinnell, his aaistants, Messrs. Ingham, Walker «mC Frmtpnann, Mr. Foster and Inspector Bonfield, sat in the former's office an hour after the verdict was rsodsred. it of a Exercise* at flhantanqna.

Tomorrow will be Grand Army day, and an oration will be delivered by ex-Congressman Harr, of Michigan. The Rev. Mr. Duryea will preach in the amphttfceafre at l&B* o'clock. ' "I (eel very sorry for the Jurors," said Mr. Foster impressively. "If the day ever comes that the ropes are placed about the necks of these prisoners, the - members of the lory will not be out of danger. I have urged the prisoners to have all their friends exercise all their influence against violence between now and the end of the case." precedent set by previous administrations of referring international disputes to disinterested arbitration; and while we rejoice in the failure of the army fortification tod militia bills, believing that disarmament must follow the pacific progress of the age, we see in the increase of the qavy an entering wedge for making this an immense naval and military power, with all the evils that attend such desecration of the principles of republicanism; and we, therefore, implore congress to prevent the success of the fortification bill and similar measures in the future. Seventh, That the Indian question should be solyed-by homes for the parents, schools for the children, and equal rights for all. Eighty, We are convinoed that Secretary Bayard should withdraw his demand ft* Outting, and then Mexico should release their prisoner, and both countries should submit the question at issqe to a Joint conference, upon the basis of law and the rights of man, standing inflexibly by the pledge of the treaty of the two countries, of 1MB, to wit: to exhaust every passible means of affecting a peaceable settlement of all political question*. Ninth, That man has no right ovef the life of his fellow being except to preserve and perfect it, hence the manufacture, sale and use of deadly weapons for man-killing |ls an offense against God, who gave the life and who owns it This remark was followed by loud and long continued applause, and, after a few words-of cheer to the cause, the speaker resumed his seat Resolutions denouncing the verdict as a brutal judicial nurdar and voicing a clamor for retaliation were at last adopted by a unanimous vote. The practical sympathy was evinced at the door, where a collection brought a bushel of nickels and silver. Michael Davitt followed, but did not go outrides thq lines of his previous addresses in this city. He oonchxled by reading an address from friends in every part of Ireland to Patrick Egan, and asked his acceptance of their silver token of esteem.

A Woman OngHt by a Panther. Mjudibon, Wis., Aug. 21.—When the parade of Barnum's circus was about to start a thrilling event occurred. Mrs. Reif, of this city, was near the panthers' cage, which contained four animals and the keeper. Her hat was blown under the cage by* sudden gust of wind, and she stooped to secure it As she did so a large panther put his paw out and caught her by the hair, and with the other paw in her face, lifted her from the ground The keeper rushed upon the furious beast and beat him severely, and this enraged the other greatly. To those about it seemed as if he would be set upon and killed, bat he was courageous. He beat the animals right and left In a powerful manner and so cowed them that they gave up the attack. Mrs. Reif was badly injured about the face, and neck, and had so be removed to tor home. field, "that if any violence is done by the friends of thsee men that the lamp posts aI the city of Chicago will bear fruit In my the polios will be powerless to quell the popular rage, and public vengeance will be summarily wreaked upon all the friends Nxwpobt, R.

One of HerreshoiTs swift launches, wh}Ch they .want to sell to the government, came down from Bristol and took the secretary off the Dispatch for him to see what they could do.

The speaker exprsssirt his'regret that the convention had adopted a platform which embranwd the boycotting of English goods and was about to show the meet ing that the convention had, in his opinion, made a great mistake, when a warning shake of the toad from Michael Davitt induced him to adroitly change the subject.
