nois Legislator--Other Matters.

PORTLAND, Me-, June "a. Tuesday was
perfect day, sunny and bright, and the heat
refreshingly tempered by the northwest
breeze. Throughout the night troops and
people were thronging into Portland, and
the streets were resembling with the tramp
of marching veterans and the strains of
martial music. The different posts arrived
faster than they could be accommo-
datei and AS many had neg
lected to register, and many
more brought double the expected
number of men, there was deal of confuS-
ion. Civilians who arrived after 10 O'Clock
could find no other lodgings than the streets
and parks Thirty thousand people Of all
classes and conditions came in during the
night
The decorations had been greatly in
creased since Monday and the city was
bright with bunting.
Gen. Logan was given an enthusiastic
greeting at camp U. S. Grant Tuesday
morning. The pressure around his car
riage was such that he was
compelled to dismount and proceed on foot
At 10 o'clock 10 guns were fired at Camp
Grant to summon the various organizations
into their preliminary positions, and at i0:39
three guns gave the signal for their
formation into line At IL the signal
gun for starting the procession was fired,
and the great line, formed in five principal
divisions moved forward with the pre-
cision that could only belong to veteran
parades
Not until the procession had passed a
given point was it made apparent how great
is the number of Grand Army men now
here 1t had been calculated that it would
require two hours for the procession t.
pass, but instead of that it took more
than three hours. The most careful
estimates of the number of men in the line
place the figures at p, 900, of which number
~, 600 wore the uniform of the Grand Army
Of the Republic.

with generous applause from all sides, and

the defendants in the Penn bank case Tues

pathetic reference TO the original

ing upon the directors who were
all present, remarked: "The wrong
men are on trial here This is a
gigantic conspiracy of banded body of
directors against two individuals, for the
purpose of hedging off possible suits of the
depositors against these same directors. If
Riddle and Rieber are convicted OF this
charge their mouths are shut and the depos-
itors deprived Of honest witnesses who would
establish their claim as against the di.
rectors"
In closing he said: Gentlemen of the
jury, do not blast Mr.. Riddles good
name at this point of his life. %
not let his la t breath 60 out in the walls Of
prison cell The man who has been made
the scapegoat of the machn,; tions of body
of conspirators has lost all hs had except hi,
reputation. He has lost his property; he
has lo- t his health, and few days are left t
him. But lis reputation remains"

gave his charge to the jury. He affirmed

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, July 1S-The proceedings in the
house OF commons last night furnish confirma-
tion of the saying that the tories are radicals
In office. 1t is hardly too much to say that the
debate struck an unprecedented blow against
the honor of the British parliament. About
the merits Of the Maamtrasna trials il seems
difficult to doubt that justice done.
Almost all the politicians, liberal and
tory, scout the idea of any miscar-
riage. On the other hand IL must
be said that some private persons who profess
to have gone over the ground fully, firmly as
sert the innocence OF Myles Joyce. Parnelrs
paper. the United ireland. said after the trial.
I'VE believe the public are satisfied that n dis
graceful butchery has been avenged upon con-
vincing evidence by jurics comparatively fairly
cbosen." This, of course, Parnel's speech last
night fatty contradicted. The Significance of
last nights proceedings is the proof afforded
that the tories are ready to make a
brazen sacrifice of principle for the ben
eft OF party tactics. They simply followed
at Parnells heels, for though refusing
n government inquiry, they promised that Lord
Carnarvon should institute one, which COM
pieteiy satisfied the Irishmen. Thus they stul-
titled deliberately all their previous words and
votes on the question. When i'm opposition all
their attacks upon the government were for not
sufiiriently enforcing the law. Now that they
are In Office they throw law and precedent to
the Winds and have not n word TO say in de-
tense OF its administration.
inside their own party there is already an
ard, censures them, and the Times and Tele-
graph now denounce them. The Irish conser-
vatiHeS are certain to be greatly alarmed and
dlssusted. The only consoiing reflection is in
the paradox, the worse the tories do, the better.
Chamberlain and Dilke withdrew from the
house last night before the Irish debate.
