THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1862.

We notice with surprise what seems to us, on
the part of the Conservatives, like a very shabby
policy. They have enlisted also as their leader in
the business a gentleman from whom we should
have looked for something more manly, more
worthy of an honourable member. What we refer
to is, the mode in which it is proposed to meet Sir
JOHN TRELAWNY'S well known bill.

The singular fate of the bill last Session has had
the advantage of fixing itself in every one's recol-
lection. In a full House the numbers en each side
were equal. Mr. SPEAKER, little expecting such a
result in such alarge assembly, was somewhat non-
plussed at first ; he soon, however, announced that
an equal division was to be considered as evi-
dence of the wish of the House to find some other
mode of settlement than that of simple abolition—
indeed, Mr. BRIGHT himself had suggested one—
and therefore he gave his casting vote to the party
which had all along demanded a compromise.
This clearly cast on that party the onus of find-
ing a generally acceptable compromise. Sir JOHN
TRELAWNY and his supporters had always denied
that any compromise could be found in which even
his opponents could agree among themselves, much
less one which could be accepted by the House.
Session after session schemes were produced, but
the Conservatives themselves were divided upon
them, and the Abolitionists showed them to be
wholly insufficient as a remedy for the grievance.
Latterly they always maintained that a plan could
be easily found, if they could only for once obtain
a majority against Sir JOHN TRELAWNY. Well,
their majority they now have, and surely to: them
belongs the part of producing their peace-making
bill. The bill which is to exempt Dissenters, with-
out insulting them, and to maintain unimpaired
the dignity of vestries, churchwardens, and their
clerical superiors. Instead of this we have a reso-
lution offered
us—a resolution which is but the
repetition of what they have all said ten thou-
sand times. It is announced that on the motion
to read the Abolition Bill a second time, Mr.
SoTHERoN EeTeOV •
RT is to move—" That it is un-
just and inexpedient to abolish the ancient and
customary right exercised from time immemorial
by the rate-payers of every parish in England, to
raise by rate among thereselved the sums required
for the repair of their church, until some other pro-
vision shall have been made by
Parliament for the
discharge of those obligations to which, by custom
or statute, the churchwardens, on the part of the
parish, are liable."
Sir JOHN TRELAWNY has taken a course which
all must revect. It was manly, English, and
gentlemanly. "I retain," says he, "my conviction
that ray mode of settlement is the only one. I
introduce therefore my bill again to show my
unchanged convictions; but, as the house has called
on the opposing party to produce its compromise
measure, I shall postpone the second reading till
my opponents place their bill before the house,
when it will be in a position to judge of the merits
of each." Now, but for the evidence of our eyes,
we should hardly have believed that such straight-,
forward procedure could have been met by such a
