The Whisky Gamblers received an unexpected
set back Yesterday in the refusal Of the House,
by the emphatic vote Of 81 to SO, TO
concur in the report Of the Conference Com
mittee on the new Tax Law. We are assured
by dispatch from Washington that this vote
means that Whisky on hand is TO be taxed
that the bill cannot pass otherwise. This il
lust and right. There is no reason why taxes
on the Millions should be so levied and assessed
as to enrich favored few. But we entreat the
two Houses to come TO an agreement quickly,
SO that the Tax bill shall become law. The
public interest and credit are suffering from the
delay.
Mr.. Washbune Of Illinois made tell
ing speech against the report and in favor OF
the tax, putting the issue squarely before the
House. The consumer has to pay the increased
price at all events. Shall the increase 60 into
the Treasury, Or into the pockets OF the specu'
latorsl That is the question. He warned the
House that their action, if they concurrcd in
the report and finally struck of the tax, would
show to the people that the interests Of combi'
nations, of monopolists, of spectators, and o.
corporations, are to be protected, and to be ex'
empted from taxation in order 10 throw It,
heaviest burden on those classes which are least
able to bear it. The House viii do well tc
heed the warning.

LORD DEnBY,s spEECM.

The world has looked on with some amaze
ment, while Great Britain has been undertak
ing to adjust, snglehanded, the affairs Of the con.
tinent, aware that she has little influence among
tho greater or The lesser Powers, and equally
aware that she would seize the first moment OF
real danger to abandon the cause Of the ally
whose cause she has helped to render odious to
Europe. And as the report Of the first gun on
the Elder rolls across the Atlantic, we hear, be-
fore its echoes have died away, that England
has Withdrawn from tie debate, and has left
the little State of Denmark to fight its own bat
ties with two Powers which can together put q
million of men into the field.
Earl Russell's labyrinthine diplomacies and
county regrets have not suiiiecd to silence all
clamor at home Against his policy. 1t is little
matter TO tho Tories that what is called the
honor Of England is identified for the time
with the policy of the Ministry. For the sake
of damaging Palmcrston aud Russell, Lord
Derby is quite willing to tell little truth,
which, in sober print next morning, must have
been read, even at Tory breakfast tables, with a
slight emotion Of disgust. wescarcely suppose
we could say anything much worso-though
many things equally Epe-than this. which. the

great conservative Peer sonorously Illuminated
across the benches of tho House of Lords:

across the benches of tho House of Lords:
"Bu seriously he believed that England had been lowered
and Inundated the eyes Of Europe by the foreign policy OF
the Government. England had single friend on the
Consient and treated uih contempt
both By the larger and smaller States"
It may possibly occur to the noble Lord, who
is understood to be the advocate of Intervention
in our affairs in behalf Of the Rebellion, that
Power at which one Of the pocket-handkerchlei
principalities of Germany takes leave to turn up
its nose in contempt, is scarcely in position to
dictate q settlement Of American quarrels three
thousand miles away. Its continental failure
may serve for lesson:
"ksto the points in dispute between Germany and Den
marx It ought to have been difficult TO settle them With
out On appeal Had England possessed the influence
Il ought to exercise It could have played the part Of pedao
and the difficulties that threatened the peace of LrOpe m
have been ADJUSTED By. Fpce had been aienated Russia
oended they could not look to any European Power Tor sup
port"
Perhaps We may be pardoned for calling atten-
ton TO one other feature of this speech, since 1t
is the speech Of q nobeman who ranks socially
as well as politically among the proudest and
most refined Of the English aristocracy Itdoes
seem TO US that the following extract may DO
called personals:
"As to non.ntervenIon It would be difcultto mention
country whose rsrs Lord Russell hd not inerred In
fact his main principle seem to have been to NEEDLE aud to
muddle with great sns States bis course was lecusns
blustern, and reircatng. Like Bottom, the weaver no
wished to play every part but above ell that Of TIE on he
could roar at Il would DO any mans heart good to lear
him. though he knew how to agsrayaie hI voice hEe
any sucking doye""
Having been led to believe with due NORTH
cation, by tho English press and speakers, that
our Congress he'd the monoPoly-as it certainly
has O liberal enjoyment-of acrimonious person
alities in debate, we contemplate the foregoing
specimen with sentiments we shall not attempt
to express. We reproduce 1t, indeed, with diff
dence, and we beg that no Member OF Con-
gress-and especially 10 one of the Opposition
will think himself bound to regard it As a model
/ for imitation.
