House of Lords last week called out the largest
known vote in recent times. The passage of the

they were those of persons who had been muir

exploded the mystery by stating that he kept
tavern there for twenty-five years, and that the
vault was dug by him about eighteen years ago
and was made for the purpose OF having a cool
place for the storing of beer and ale. Eight years

We believe the Star Route verdict will leave a

guilty" are OF no consequences; but the result oil
this trial will justly be held by all thoughtful cit
zens as proof that 1t is high time to make change
that the party Of great moral ideas is no longer
entitled to their confidence, and can not be safely
trusted with the peoples money. The verdict is
to be sure bat one of many evidences 10 the same
effect. The river and harbor jobs, the Robson
! Navy Jobs, the impudent refusal to make adequate
reductions Of taxation, the corrupt determination
to compel needless and surplus taxes out of the
peoples pockets. the pension swindle, the un-
blushing alliance with ali sorts OF monopolies-all
these prove that the Republican party has outived
not merely its usefulness but fits moral sense But
| It probably needed this result of the Star Route
trials 20 break the back of the public's patience
The Presidential campaign of 1854 will be battle
between the people and the friends Of monopoly
