Erecial to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, June 27.-Smalley's special
says 1t is deplorable to see the spirit of
sheer iingosm still dominant in France.
To call it Chauvinism makes it no better
and no less vulgar On no other ground
can the refusal of the French Chamber to
ratify the resolution of the Brussels Anti
Slavery Convention be explained. or ex-
planned completely. Hatred to England,
hatred of which everybody but Gladstone
and his Radicals are aware, had something
to do with Thursdays vote and with the
large majority. Something, but not every
thing. There was the usual explosion of
animosty on account of Egypt, but what
carried those 439 members off their feet was
tie protest of some of the most foolish
Deputies against allowing in any form or to
any extent the right of search on board any
vessel flying rightly or wrongly the French
flag France isolates herself from Europe
on the question. not Of dignity, nor even of
national pride, but national vanity. 1t will
be under the French flag that the slave
trade will now be carried on. If that be
source Of satisfaction to the French Depu-
ties, or to French people, they may enjoy 1t
TO the full.
AFTER THE BACCARAT SCANDAL.
The literature of the baecarat case is be-
coming daily less copious and the people are
tired of talking about it. Whatever may be
thought Of the adequacy OF the Prince OF
Wales apology there can be no doubt that
it has been we'll received by the public in
general. The reaction in favor of the viii
sons, naturally less marked, is still strong.
Lady Sykes, the wife of one Of the greatest
gentlemen in Yorkshire, writes with the
sanction of her husband TO protest against
the slanders and calumnies which have be-
set this family, of whom she gives the most
honorable account. 1t is in some respects
touching letter and in all ereditable to its
writer as well as its subject.
PARNELL AND TIE CAMPBELL CASE.
1t must be hard to say what further sur
priSeS Parnell has in store for his friends
and his enemies. His letter on the Camp
bell trial is one of the coolest performances
on record, even for this extremely cool hand.
The Cork Herald accuses Campbell, his
private secretary, OF engaging a house at
Eastbourne for ParnelPs use for question
able purposes. The Cork Herald people
produced the letters and kilograms, which,
if genuine, would have gone far to sustain
their charge, but they were forged. Camp
bell denied all knowledge ofithem. Parnell
was summoned as witness, but
did not appear, eyading, say his
foes, the service OF the subpoena. AT any
rate il was not served and nobody seemed
to know who forged these interesting docn-
nents, but the next day out comes Parnell
with letter saying that the Herald had not
forged them, but that he mad asked Camp
beiPs leave TO use his name for certain ne
=. iiations at EastbOurne, not saying what
they were. lie does not say that Campbell
assented, though he probably did and for
got all about it. Parnell, regardless of
maxms, laws or morals, handed over his
delegated authority t. Mrs. 0'Shea, and
Mrs. O'SheR is the true author Of these mys-
terious manuscripts. Campbell recovered
$3.50 damages. He swore that he knew
nothing about Mrs. 0'Snea, no doubt truly,
but had the jury known that he gave, If he
did give, plenaTy power TO Parnell to make
use of his name. that Parnell and Mrs.
O'Shea between them were responsible for
the letters which misled the Cork Herald,
their verdict might have been very different.
THE HEROINE OF MANIPUR.
Slowly but surely the official mind Is
recognizing the obligation of India and all
England 10 Mrs. Grmw00d, the heroine of
Manipur. The Secretary of State for India
in the Council has assigned to her the muniti-
cent pension of 500 a year for life. He
has further awarded TO this lady special
grant of 5000, and is careful to say that
these vast sums are in addition TO her pen
sion from the Bengal Civil Fund ana pay
ment for her property destroyed at Manipur.
OF the Victoria Cross nothing more is heard.
New YORK. June 27.-The Journals Lon
don correspondent says that Parnell, in ad-
m.ting the use of. Secretary CampbelPs
name in his correspondence, lays himself
open to the charge OF violating the postal
law, which makes the unauthorized use of
the signature of person afelony.
