act OF wickedness unparalleled in Irish his
tory. What Ireland needs is the restora-

their lawful business and fulfil their lawful

realize important and necessary reforms.
The republic enjoys the high respect OF Eu-
rope. France has helped in no small degree
to maintain the peace OF Europe. NJ. Grevy
concluded by paying warm homage to the

Post London Gable: Mr.. Bradlaugh's
swearing in passed off without a scene,
though with amusing Incidents. He seized
one of the testaments as soon as hey were
brought to him and proceeded to swear
himself in. He remained damned in a
crowd of members for more than an hour.
1t was an amusing sight, as he was getting
redder and redder, and clasping the gor-
geously bound Testament to his breast. Sir
Erskine May made him swear again and
carefully scrutinized his boisterous kiss. I
understand his appeal before the house of
lords will now be hastened. II the verdict
is against him, the government will prose-
cute him for sitting and voting; if in his
favor, the disgracefuI struggle will be over.

to overthrow the Conservative government.

course to dynamite and the dagger of the
assassin.
