MIR. BRIGHT ON AMERICA.

Mr. Brights speech at the American banquet
in London on Independence Day contained
many sympathetic references to the United
States. He professed to have an affection as
warm for America as he had when the civil
war was threatening the dissolution of the
Union and when the quiet of the West End of
London was disturbed Sunday after Sunday
with newsbsys' outcries of @AnOther Confed-
crate victory" In those exciting days he never
shared the distrust caused by bad tidings, even
when the hearts of members of the American
En- bas-y failed them; and he had lived to sec
the day when those who had opposed him then
on the American question keenly regretted
having ever been in sympathy with slave
holders and when there WAS no Engishman
who would not honestly say that the Rebellion
ended as it ought to have ended, and that it
Was to the advantage, not only of America,
but of the whole world, q that that great and
@Odious curse was not set before mankind-that
"a State should be established ON o basis
of human slavery"
These were sentences to kindle fine glow IN
the faces of loyal Americans. Equally interest
ing were Mr.. Bright's references to Mr.. Sumner,
whose last night in England was spent in Mr.
Brights house. and his comments upon
aPatriOtic Voices" One of the most remarka-
bic prophecies Of American greatness he had
failed to find in Mr. Summers little book.
When Gibbon was preparing material for his
great history, he proposed to write it in
French. Hume on hearing of his intention re-
monstrated in writing, saying among other
things that the book should be in English be-
cause the American colonies promised superior
stability and strength to English history. II
was thus prophecy of American greatness that
determined the language in which the history
Of the fall of the Roman Empire should be
written. Mr.. Bright enlarged, as il now the
fashion In his country, upon the destiny Of the

De eXpcCteu
number of lively talks with prominent men
and politicians are published in THE TRIBUNE
this morning. Secretary Whitney says as little
IA he can, but Murat Halstead uttcrs some de-
cided opinions in regard to the Administration
and Ohio politics The views of State Senator
Gilbert touching issues in the coming State can
vass are given pretty fully and pointedIy, and
Ex-Governor Warmoth puts in few words
about Louisiana.
It is said that the President will appoint a
Republican as Commissioner of the District of
Columbia. All right. But there are Republi-
cans and Republicans and before Mr.. Clevc-
land decides upon ex-senator s. &. Pomeroy,
of Kansas, he should read letter from that
gentleman which is reproduced in our Wash
ineton dispatches this morning. 1t is not likely
that the President cares about pleasing the Re-
publican party very much; but to appoint
Pomeroy would be sure way not to do it.
The action of Judge Cowing in the case of
w. II. Goddard will send throb of pleasure
through the heart of every one who loves his
fellow man. In 1873 young Goddard stole
$4,000 in this city while under the influence
of evil companions. He fled from the city and
since then has led an exemplary life, occasion
ally rising to the heroic. Everybody who has
known him of late likes and respects him, and
when he was arrested hosts Of friends begged
for mercy for him. 1t has been granted, and
rightly, too but it is rare indeed that justice
can be properly tempered with so much mercy.
Lord Salisbury's Government have shrewdly
got around the troublesome matter of the
Maamtrasna murders. Mr. Parnell demanded
IN official inquiry into them by Parliament,
with distinct threat of political vengeance if
his motion were not passed. 1t was hardly
proscd that the Conservatives, who all along
have been loud in their demands for the strictest
possible punishment Of crimes in Ireland, would
stultify themselves by granting tins request. SO
they evaded the issue by announcing that Lord
Carnarvon would personally investigate the
charges of injustice and wrong.

Railroad Commission summoned Slr Barnnm before
IT, and under oath he was asked If he authorized
the order to be given. and he swore positively that
he never did. Then the commissioners sent out for
the local agent but he could not be found. II was
known that owing to an engagement elsewhere the
commissioners must soon leave the place But when
they gave notice that they would return and sit
until tue agent could he found. he was not long In
coming forward. Under oath he produced n letter
from President Barnnm requiring tho notice to be
given The Boston Adrertiser says that Barnum did
not blush, aud The Hartford Courant said that 1t was
tho agent who was embarrassed. The willy ex-
Senator is said to have declared that IL must be

1t looks as if the Bank of Ireland mi ght have to
come to the rescue of the Hibernian Bank and that
then the Government may have to help the Bank
of Ireland. For the failure Of the Munster Bank
has set in action pancky feeling which Is liable
to spread indefinitely, aud threatens to fall most
heavily upon the most prosperous institutions,
precisely because their business is the most ex-
tended. Under tho circumstances, the call for
seven days notice of the withdrawal of deposits,
though apt at Arst to strengthen suspicion, may
prove tho only salvation of the situation.
