his friends-which, indeed, I believe 10 often
enou gh-he drinks more than enough himself
was hardly i a defence to the serious eharses
nearly al that was said in his behalf; yet
NE Butt, 126 were found to vote in his favor |
and only Is against him. Surprising - this |
may seem to some, it is not surprising to us
that should Keogh be convicted of the most
Committed in the interest of England and inf, |
Commons would never punish him. The lrish
people long since came'to the conviction that
no good was to be got out of England tor
themselves, and this vote on the Galway
Judgment is the latest proof of the truth aud
soundness Of that conviction.
The two members for Dublin City, Mr. JON
athan PIN and Sir Dominic CorTigan, Bart,
NJ. D.-played each a somewhat remarkable
part in this Keogh affair The former gentle
man who proposed an amendment (which
found no seconder) to the effect that Keosh's
language was censurable but that he should
not be removed from the beneh-did not 60
out with tho rest of the House when di-
actually hid himself under the table. His Oh.
ject was, no doubt, to avoid voting at all, and
it is difficult to see why, if that was his OBJ
division bell rang, as Mr.. John Martin did:
Mr.. Pins conduct did not escape notice;
vigilant senator named Adams, after voting,
the Speaker and asked whether he was not IN
the House and heard the question put. Or
course he could answer truthfully only in the
affirmative, whereupon his vote was registered
amongst the majority at his own request: For
this vote he will assuredly =" walk the plank "
at the next election. The same fate awa,ts
wanted to avoid voting, and suggested that
Mr. Butt should withdraw his motion and the
Government their prosecutions. He must
that Keogh is personal friend of his while
his constituents are that individuals morta
enemies. Sir D. Corrigan had long since giver
mere placs.hunter; he has now changed thai
belief into an absolute conviction. He is
doctor and wants some Government situation
such as Medical Inspector OF Jalls, or some
thing of that kind.
The GALWAY judgment has now passed ava!
from the arena of parliamentary discussion
for parliamtnt was prorogued to-day; but
will form many long day subject OF ropu
lar discussion, and WILL it is now rumored
come up within the next month for review
before o judicial tribunal. 1t has not ye
been stated officially, but there s good ground
for believing that q special commission VII
issue in few days for the trial-whether J
-
Bishop of Clonfert and the other gentlemen
lay and clerical, whom it is intended to prose
cute for using undue influence at the GnIWa
election and that the Judges will be the Chic
Justice Whiteside, Chief. Justice AonahaI
Common Pleas), and Baron F1tzgerais
Whiteside is Protestant and a Tory-eot ~
partizan with which he has ever been tho
oughly impregnated. He is certain to do b
best to get the Bishop and priests E co net.
Chief Justice Monahan is Catholio-but,
have heard, merely nominal one. He is
likely to act fairly as he is to act ioully an
Imay here mention that the gentleman is r
marEable for his habit Of swearing upon II
bench. Baron Fitzgerald ia Protestant, ~
Whiteside; but, unlike Whiteside, he Is like
to be perfectly impartial. or course there
will be convicted before them, unless . jury
OraDgemen be eDpanelled.
The Galway judgment threw st ane nome me, h y

The Lord Lieutenant and Countess spenc
have been in Belfast during the week, oPenf
and attending the annual show of the Roy
Agricultural Society. His Excellency has be
making lot of stupid speeches In which :
tries to prove that Ireland is prosperlng uno
English rule-that is, that black Is white a
also that the Liberal Government, OF which ;
is q member, has benefited the country
mensely. This latter assertion met a bad
ception, for his audience Yves chiefly comp p
of Tories; and-need say-Tories TIL
Liberals something very like incarnate dew
and Liberals think the same of Tories:
created two persons knights during his seay
Belfast-Mr. John Savage, the Mayor, and !
Hamilton, the Chairman of the Harbor Boa
For being TINS "honored" these two gentlen
will for ever more be SO loyal to the Gro
