'a KEY WEST,
The Typographical Union and the.Asso.
dated Press.
The N. Y. Tu nes of Monday has an arti
cle on the position assumed by the Nation
al Typographical Union, which demands
that all newspapers be unconditicinally
admitted to the Press Association. The
Times says: The Associated Press is a
voluntary aisociatton of several journals,
for the purpose of obtaining news by
telegraph, for common use and at
the common expense, the object
being to avoid duplicating, at an enor
mous expense, news which all must have.
The Association never assumed to ex
clude any responsible vapeet from sharing
its advantages; but in view of the im
mense labor and expense incurred in
building , it up, it has been thought just
and proper to demand a price for such a
privilege, corresponding to its value and
its cost to the members of the Associa
tion. No journal strong enough to go
alone objects to the demand. It is only
those , who desire ! to reap the
prollt - of publishing a newspaper without
incurring the expense of it by' that ob-
ject. The Typographical Union objects
to thus increasing the priceof publisning
a newspaper,
because it keeps printers
out of work. This 'is quite in iteeping
with the general policy of the Union, to
secure for -- printers as much
money _ for as jittle work as
possible; but the hostility of a com
bination, which assumes to fix the prices
for which printers may work, and to
regulate their hours, and degrade and
brand all who will not obey their dicta
tion, and which seeks legislative interfer
ence to sustain their abburl assumption
of the monopoly and tyranny of the As
sociated Press,
is simply ridiculous.
They might just as well demand
every person who desires to start
a now newspaper man shall have the
right to use the correspondence,
the editorial force,' the law, mar
ket and general reports,
and itener
ally whatever In an od establish
journal he might find useful in his enteedr
prise. This would greatly facilitate the
starting of fresh-newspapers and so In
creaiae• the demand for printers, and
would be quite as just as the Union's de
mand concerning the . Associated Press.

The Times this Morning, in a leader on
the prospects of the Irish Church bill in
the House of Lords, says: "The week
opens with all the elements of a dramatic
situation. The action Is great. the rue
dre is great,• and the end is certain.
We are' conviced that the bill will
pass to its second reading. Every day
it becomes clearer that England, after an
agitation of eighty - 30MB, will volun
tarily Made Injustice so long perpet
uated. No Orange dernenstration can
affect the sincoeskot the measure._Tide
scandal of-the--Irish Church establish
ment is at the root of the alienation of
Ireland. Its destruction - is an act df
peace and unity between jealous aim
disubited races. •
Ther Tinto reviews the opinions of
the - leading men of the opposition and
concludes; "By such arguments justice
may be as often delayed, but not when
the nation is awake to a sense of its de
nial, We feel assured that justice , will
not be delayed. By yielding now, the
reputation and authority of the House of
Lords will be established firmer than
ever." •
In the House of Peers, to night, in an
ticipation of the debate ,on the Irish
Church bill, there was a full attendance.
all the seats on tho.tloor being occupied.
At the opening of the 'MUTT, the gal
leries and lobbies were crowded with
spectator's, and in the streets in the vicin
ity of the House of Parliament a great
throng otpeople was collected.
In the House many.petitions were pre
sented against the bill. Earl Granville
then moved the bill pass to its second
reading. He declared he had always
thought the Irish Church was au 'smear
alye and faded to fulfil the position for
which it was intended; that it was a great
injustice' and should be legislated on in
a reareinable,lwise and moderate way.
He traced the history of the suspensory
bill of last year, and the resignation of
• theD'lsraell Ministry showed their ac
ceptence of the decision of the country in
favor of disestablish went and disendow
went. After explaining the provisioue
of thei hUI under consideration, Lord
Granville continued: Ihe Government
did not desire to sever the spiritual con
nection between the Irish and English
Churches. He would leave the explana
tion of the endowments to his colleagues.
He declared there wall nothing in the act
of union to prevent the passage of
the bill. He did not undervalue
the act, but maintained that
it was not unalterable, nor should
it be allowed to stand in the way of a
measure deemed necessary to the major
ity of the , people 'and constituencies in
Ireland: . The bill had no effect on the
Royal supremacy. After referring to
the threatened opposition and comment
ing on the bigotry of past times, he ate
Pealedle the bench and to the Bishops
to . weigh well their course. Noth
log was more suicidal than to • point
to the principle on which the Irish
Church stands as that on which the Eng'
limb Church is to stand, for this step was
not the preclude to disestablishment.
The dignity of the House, atter due pro
test, should allow the bill endorsed by
the voice of the country to pass. The
House of Peers has. great power for.
good; but there is one thing it does not
possess. It has no more power than
the e of mmons. It has
not power s
to thwa rt the national will.
It was said that -the method of conduct
ing thebill in the Commons was offers,
stye, and the House of Lords had been
advised to be conciliatory in their pres
ent declaration. He well knew the value
of conciliation, but there was no need for
it here. For he would assure th
that though the Liberal party a d here d d
strong lto the polic of the they
would g rate fully welcome and carefully
consider • any alteration of detail pro.
poied* be their Lordships. More than
this he could not say.

second reading of the bill be postponed

onation oatb, and of the act of union•

justice. He rePtidiated the idea that the
ia
rejection of them asure would be running
counter to the n tional will. The sense
of the country h d not been tested ()tithepoint,
point, and he be ieved the country was
now earnestly looking to and expecting
the House of Lords to reject the bill.
Lord Clarendon said he did not recipro
cate the feeling of the Earl of Harrewby
$s
as to the result of the bill. Simil fere
bodings were expressed in regar to the
reform and free trade xneastires." e be
lieved the sentiment of the count had
been fully Amsted on the tAipid. t had
been discussed for the past year and a
half, and Was so thoroughly exhausted
and understood that he was unable to
-say anything,new on it. Asa Protestant
he sympathized with his Catholic feller:-
sountrymen.in Ireland in the wrongful
position in which they were placed. He
never felt it stronger than when he saw
crowds' kneelipg outside a hovel with a
handsome! parish church those by unat
tended. ,fflie 'believed that Ireland was
the.question of the hour. Her condition
had' burdened the Government. After
the upiOrsal assent of the country, and
the inwessibility that such a state of
things i t
ouid continue, imposed on Mr.
Gladst e the duty of settling the. Irish
Chum grievancee.
The Duke of Rutland opposed the bill,
bee:A.Bodt overthrew the rights of prop
ertyorAlated tho religion of a majority'
of the people of the United Kingdom.
and destroyed the union of church and
state. He denied that the Irish Church
'was a badge of corkquest, and declared
his conviction that the voluntary system
would never answer.
Lord Stratford de Radcliffe objected to
many details; of the bill. but warned the
Ilotise not Ito sacrifice the' substance for
'the shadow,. He believed the passage of
the Pill as it now stood would result in ir
reparable injury to the Church and would
not relieve, the condition of Ireland.
The relative positions of the 'two Houses
1
of Parliament, however, demanded the
second reading of the bill, after which
'the upper House could go to work and
emend its objectionable features.
- Lord Rornilly regarded the idea that
this bill would prove the • destruction-of
Protestantisin wile myth. It would only
deprive the; rown of the nomination of
some Bishops.
In the House of (Ammons, to-night,
W. Otway, Secretary for the. Foreign De
partment, said the facts in the case of the
'the upper
of the American brig Mary
well were in dispute. The Govern
ment asserts that the vessel' was seized
in British waters, while the Spanish
Government maintains she was captured
on the high seas beyond British jurisdic

adduced by Spain wad in the hands of the
law officers of the Crown, and it would
be impossible to preduce the papers be
