The British Commons have voted down
timely motion to inquire into the penal dsci-
pline under which the Fenian prisoners suffer.
Part of that discipline is detailed with a lively
severity in Mr.. Charles Reade's story OF
Never too Late to Mend" and the case of the
Fenian O'DOnovan Rosa appears to con-
firm some of the worst of it.
One thing the debate on the Fe-
Man cases has brought forth in default of
favorable vote--namcy the admission of the
Home Secretary that he was not prepared to
defend the treatment of the Fenians. Never
theless, the Commons are too well satisfied
with their part in the work of Dlsestablishment
to turn any thing but a deaf ear, at this time,
to a petition in behalf of some of the most dan
gerous of the Fenians

When a political party sees fit to tack Con
"servative" to the rest Of its titles, we gen
orally begin to grow suspiciousj but we notice,
with pleasure, that "the Conservative Rcpub-
" leans" of Mississippi in convention assem-
bled. have declared themselves in favor of
universal suffrage and universal amnesty"
and also of Reconstruction on the Congress
" sional plan )" and they likewise took occasion
to indorse the administration of Gen. Grant
This kind of conservatism is totally different
from "the cold obstruction" which is usually
called by that much-abuscd name. Up this
way, we who hold to the same opinions are
stigmatzed as Radicals" and are hailed by
other hard and equally disreputable names;
but if the rose continues to smell sweetly, but
little difference does it make what title we
baptize it by.

A most interesting and important legal pro-
ceeding was brought to issue in our Supreme
Court yesterday before Judge Barnard. Mr..
w. 0. Bartlett, counsel for Edward b. Kctchum,
brought him down from the Sms-Siug Prison
on habeaS corpus, alleging that he Is Illegally
restrained Of his liberty, in that he has for moro
than three years been imprisoned on a SEN
tence for an offense for which he was not in
dcted by a Grand jury. Oar State Constitu-
ton provides that no man shall, be held to
answer for an infamous crime except on pre-
sentiment or indictment by a Grand Jury
Ketchum was sentenced rs guilty of forgery
in the third degree, whereas he was indicted
for uttering and publishing gold checks; and
there is a decision of the Supreme Court that
utterng or publishing forged notes Is an en-
tirely distinct offense from forgery. Mr.. Bart
lett argued that the sentence against Ketchum
was not the final Judgment of Court but
merely a void proceeding, in violation of the
plain letter of the Constitution. (See his brief,
herewith printed.) Judge Barnard reserved his
decision, but will render it on Friday morning
