THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, :JULY 4, 18e0,

We have now clearly the business before us which
the House of Commons will take in hand, we pre-
sume, according to arrangement on Thursday night,
—to get through with it, no one knOws when !
Altogether, this quarrel on or over paper bids fair
to be a notable one. There was first the long struggle
of the out-of-doors repeaters. Then the hard one
of the Cabinet and House of Commons Repealers ;
then the unlucky contretemps in the Lords, and the
repeal of a tax stopped where, in the memory of liv-
ing man, no Tax Repeal Bill had ever been stopped
before. Next came the indignation of the Cheap
Press, and the grave looks of members of the House
of Commons, angry with the Lords for trenching
on their privileges, yet glad to save almost a million
and a half under the fear of having to pay, otherwise,
twopence more in the pound income-tax next year.
The solemn searching of the Lords' journals for
what every reader of newspapers knew followed—

then the Tax Bills Committee to hunt for prece-
dents, then the val reports of WALPOLE and
BRIGHT, with the conflicting votings in committee
of members of the Cabinet, and now at last the
resolutions to be proposed by the servants of her
MAJESTY in regard to the " Aggression of the
Lords" on her " faithful Commons" are fairly be-
fore us.

What will or can be said on Thursday that has
not been said ? Oratorical powder may be burnt, as
much as honourable members please, but the shot

have all been used. The plain facts of the case are
that the Lords are technically right,. but substan-
tially wrong. But owing to our Chancellor
of the Exchequer having attempted too much
this year in the way of repeal, and the
Commons having voted too much in the
way of expenditure, things were going " over
the left shoulder." The Lords saw their opportu-
nity to revenge themselves on two or three orators
for whom they have no great love—saw that saving
the money would indemnify them with the country
for snubbing these mighty commoners—so they
tigh ten afresh the straps of one heavy burden which
the Commons had undone. This is the plain state
of the case. The public generally overlook or con-
done the attack on the rights of their representa-
tives because the Commons used their rights
wrongly, and the Lords, we were going to say,
did a wrong rightly. It may be that this is all very
shocking—it is sa. "Todo a great right do a
little wrong " this is not the motto for the
highest court of appeal in the kingdom ; but they
have done it, and no great agitation can be got up
about it.
And now for the resolutions—they got into the
paper somehow.—Mr. DISRAELI in vain inquired
for them early in
the evening ; but no Lord PAL-
MERSTON was there ; still Lord JOHN RUSSELL had
no doubt that they- would find their way unto the
table in the course of the night.
there we are not told by our How they got
a door
reporters.
PALMERSTON only peeped in at Lord
quickly Minister
for a minute,
and faded again from view ; very
after Minister follovf ed him ; soon the number of
members fell below the sacred forty, aad the planned
count-out saved a host of awkward questions and
speeches, and left all parties to furbish their
weapons in readiness for the grand fight of
Thursday.
A little time is, the refore, left for the country--
and who knows not that " we" of the Daily Press
its mind. As to the
are the country?—to speak
