scot free He and O'Donuell have already boasied
that the new rules cannot restrain them, and since
they despse or pretend to despise, the opinion of
the House and of the public generally, don't SEQ
why they may not continue their career till mid
winter. The House wants to adjourn before the
10Th Of August for its shooting. Messrs Blggar
Parnell, ODonnell & Co do not shoot and IN ce-

ont of the assembly they disgrace.
Not much need be added to what have already
said about the pcott case. The House of Commons
on Monday night unanimously cancelled its veto OF
censure on Lord Bcaconsheld, and Slr. Pigott, ot
course retains his place as Controller OF tho
static. ery Office. II is one moro proof OF Lord
Beaco. fields iucurable Eeedlessness IN dealing
with flcts. that he should have ventured on the
statement he did respecting Pigott, SEN, Vicar OF
Hughenden one Of ms most effective points IN
denial of the charge that the appointment OF the son
was a job, consisted in the statement that the
father had actually voted against him in county
contest. Inquiry-for Mr.. Holms was sceptical
enough to inquire-proved that no such vote was

could cay was that somebody-name not giyen-had
written to Lord Beaconsfeld to say that the elder
Pgott did give such vote and that this conceded
with the Prime Ministers impression But there
could be no doubt that in all essential points the
accusation against Lord Beaconsieid had broken
down. Il ,h sides of the House joined in his excui-

Bright's health and viGor may be found IN hls
ability 10 deliver three speeches at Bradford IN the
course Of Neutrality-suspicious. filling altogether SIX
printed columns. Excepting the passages have

eulogy on Free Trade, they are admirable III manner
an full of sound political sense, as well a= OF that
grase ana lofty eloqucnce in which Mr. Bright has
no rival among living Englishmen. The eulogy ON
Mr. Golden is penetrated with feeling. As for the
long speech In the evening on the war, can hardly
give YOU better idea of its merits than by saying
that it has brought The Times fairly over to the pol
