Our great electorial campaign last week told the re of the Herald the story of the disaster of Goschen and Dilke and how the brave Joseph Cowen, worn out by much war, had fallen out of the ranks. 1 had hardly sent off the letter when there came the news of the fate of Sir George Trevelyan. This was to Trevelyan's friends A SURPRISING CALAMITY. Heiad been returned without opposition for the samce tituencey only a few months agoat the time of his taking office under Gladstone. Now he has appealed to his con- stituents as the oppenent of Gladstone and has been defeated by a very respectable but altogether obscure man. Tre n's is a coarse failure. Tt is perhaps a more striking stimony to Gl s influence in Scot- land than even the defeat of Goschen. " sonally I feel sorry for Trevelyan, although in a political sense I cannot but feel grateful by his defeat.

One could see the evi- dent growth of this sense of failure on Tre elyan and the too manfest sigus of bitterness of spirit engendered in him, The stroggle turned his hair and beard white and bowed his shoulders as with the weight of age, and “Trevelyan is some years short of fifty yet. May his fate be a warning to “others not to attempt an impossible task. A liberal states- man cannot govern Ireland by the agency of coercion. 1 ONLY RECKON HEALY (Tim Healy) as one of the wounded in this fight. Defeated as he was in South Lon- donderry, he polled a thousand votes more than he liad at the last election, when he was put at the head of the poll, but this time the “No popery” dodge and *‘Dismemberment of the empire” ery proved too much for some weak-kneed Presbyterians in Derry county, and they either kept away from the polls al- tosether or voted against the author of the famous Ilealy clause, In the land bill, Tealy will probably haye a seat in Sligo, to be made vacant by Sexton’s certain decision to sit for Belfast. FOUR VICTIVS, Some one smd the other day that four of the most remarkable men in the late parlia- ment ought to dine together and console each other on their absence from the new parlia- ment—Gosclien, Dilke, Trevelyan and Healy. We may now add the fifth very remarkable man, althongh not with any of the sound, statesmanlike gifts of any of the men I have already named. 1 allude to Siv Robert Peel, who became a sudden and complete convert to home rule, e stood as the Gladstonian candidate for a Scottish constituency and was defeated. m personally and politi- cally for Peel, e had shown MUCH SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND of late vears, and rendered us splendid ser- vice in our effort to accomplish the release of one of the men wrongfully convicted of mur- der under Lord Spencer’s relgn. It was in- deed the powerful appeal of Sir Robert to Gladstone himself that inspired Gladstone to throw over Sir William Harcourt and promise an Inquiry, which inquiries led to the instant release of the convieted man. Peel was a very unpopular Ivish secretary many years ago. It was he who at one time got Into a famous quarrel with the O'Donog- hue. He ealled O'Donoghue a “Mannikin lor,” to which O'Donoghue replied by n challenge to fighta duel. Lord Palmerston interfered, and in the words of Mr. Foker's servant in “Pendennis,” “The fight didn’t come off.” A LESSON FROM FACTS, Peel, however, hus shown the capacity of learning a lesson from facts, which graver senators have not always proved themsclyes 1o possess, aud he is, or was, 8 man of great ability and eloquence. ‘I'wenty years ago he used to thrill the house of commons by the vigor of his passionate oratory on questions of foreign poliey. People do not take him serious of late, He has changed, perhaps, rather too often and too rapidly, und he does not himself take life seriously enough, Many years ago Punch had a poem deserib- ing him as the “mountebank member,” and Peel never took any pains to piove that he did not deserve the epithe EVERY IGISHMAN REJOICES In the defeat of the purse-proud, ill-tem- pered, vulgar Mitchell Henry.

This tribe of oriental gypsies have been at Malta, and left there a fortnight ngo on the steamer “Ardnellie.”” They came there from Syria, eck Island.

The police were powerless, and the gipsies beat back the home rules of the locality. “The intention originally was to go to Rot- terdan and sail by the Netherland mail steamship compuny, but Mr. Levy, its agent lere, explained, “I, however, ascertained that they would not be allowed to land in CLAD IN RAG the women efooted and the children half naked.

Repeated altempts were made by parties to foree an en- trance into the Catholies’ quarters, but every avenue was gnarded and the assallants were again driven back. The Catnolics remained on the defensive, and when the police ap- peared on the scene they left the guardians of the peace to deal with the law breakers, WITH RECKLESS RUFFIANISM, the Orangemen assailed the police, attacking them on all sides and freely using firearms. ‘The constabulary in self-defence were forced to return the fire.

Truth Denounces it and Gives Many Good Reusons, [Copyrighted, | »—[New York Herald Bee.]—The following ppears in the current number of Truth: t the Indian and Colonial exhibition Sir Jawme Anderson treated the audience to a dis- sertation on telegraphic reform, the gist of which was that the sta and colonies of the world should guarantee a4 per cent dividend on the present capital of the twenty-six sub- marine cable companies, This is, in fact, LPender’s latest scheme, as propounded by him at the Berlin conference. The Truth, September 24, 1585 Anderson gave the ¢ 000,000, the total revenue as £3,250,000, and the expenses as £1,157,500, making a net rey- enue of £ 500, from which 2 per cent on the capital should be deducted for ve and renewals, leaving an imcome of £1,414,500, I'he guaranteed interest at 4 per cent on the capital would, according to Pende: terego, e £1,400,000." The governments aro then to make reductions _in the cable taxiffs and the taxpayer is to pay the viper. The scheme is very ingenious, but it is evidently connected Sir James pital invested as £5 only inthe iuterest of semi-bankrupt cable coulpanies ot United States Cable company, ot which Join Pender is chairman, paid 23§ per cent dividend for the year ending June 30, Iast, but the war of rates hus only recently taken effect and there can be no doubt that with its continuance the dividend will be nil and the reserve fund will have to be consid- erably trenched upon, “The Anglo-American Telegraph com- pany, which has Bir James Anderson on its board, is Ineven a woist plight with its strongly watered stock and defective cables. I can quite understand the desire of M, Pender and his ring to foist their old cables on the governments of the world at their own monstrous valuation, and to obtain a guaran- teed 4 per cent dividend ou the capital of the Atlantic cable companies which is, at the war tariff, entirely unprotective. But the present is not thetime for a gigantic tele- graph jaggle, and Pender's latest scheme will remain a fond dreaw not likely to be re- alized. Belter by far and cheaper would it be to lay new cables at the present greatly reduced price, and with al! the latest imports ant improvewents, than to bug up the cable rings, absolute and worn out cables, on such absurd terws, By the way, the marqus of Tweeddale is reported by one of my daily comtemporaries as having expressed regret at the absence of Sir John Pender on election business.

All the business men made this a place ot safe keeping for their valuable papers, deeds, mortgages, ete., and itis thought that he has taken everything with him. His brother, Lewis A, Beltzer, was president of the bank until the new bank started two weeks ago, when he accepted a position in the new bank. He denies all knowledge of any crookedness on the part of John A.

Many had the money dsposited there and would prove up in a few days, and now they must sell out or abandon their claims, Beltzer leaves a wife and children to bear the shame and disgrace of hisactions. It is said that the last thing he did before he left was to ABUSE AND BEAT MIS WIFE. asif the shame and sorrow of his wrong- doing would not be lasting enough in he memory. He deeded his homestead to his wife and gave a bill of sale of his personal property. The greatest excitement prevails, Some estimate that he took with him as high as sixty thousand dollars in money, notes and securities. However, the amount1s not known for certain yet.

The Senats Committee Makes a Triple Re- port on the Bribing Oharges. THEY WANT NO That is What the Majority Say, Senators Hoar And Frye Fall to Agree in the Concluse fons Renched. INVESTIGATION, The Payne Bribery: WASIINGTON, July Tlirec repoits fron the senate committee on privileges and elecs tions upon the Payne case were submitted to 1o the senaty to-day.- The report signed by Messrs, Pugh, Saulsbury, Vance and Eusth, the democratic members of the committee, sets forth at length the public history of the ase. It recognized the transeendent import- ance of throwing aronnd the senate of the United States the highest safeguard nxnl'l:s seating a member whose title was procu by bribery, frand and corruption, and de- scribes the processes by which the signety reach the conclusion that there Is no ground for further proceedings against Payne. The report says the committee’s first act was to comply fully with the first request of the Olifo house of representatives to make an exs amination of the testimony taken by a select conmittee at Columbus, Upon this testi- mony Mr. Hoar made a report to the commite tee that after a careful reaning no evidence, opinion or statement whatever was found personally inculpating Payne in any way with the corrupt use of money In connection with his election, neither did such®oxamina- tion show that enough had been found to justity the charge that his election was pro- cured by the corrupt use of money. About this time a supplemental resolution of the two houses of the Olio legislature and of the republican state central committee made their appearance, and sool after Congressmen Little and Butterwortl were heard at length, ‘The signers of the report declare that no new evid not con- tained in the original matter submitted was, brought to their attention which any cou would not hold to be merely cumulative an speculative and insufficient by {tselt, or conneotion with the eriginal, to justify a rgs ort ip favor of a trial by tho senate of ayne’s right to his seat. Senators Teller, Evarts and Logan unite in a report which says that no action was taken by the state legisfature whichi_eleeted l‘n{ne calling in question the validity ot his elee- tion, but tnat the new legislaturé constituted in January of the present year, adopted a resolution under which an investigation of Donovan’s charges had been made.

The testimony presented by the Ohio house of representatives shows the number of members of the general assembly, that Lave been brought into inculpation, an the weight of evidence agaiyst them. = As to Members Bavkar, Hunt, Shiltz and ‘I'eigler, it Is found by the signers of the report (hat the testimor eloped nothinz of an neul- ating ch Aslo the two meml Kahle and Hull, the report finds that tl were not diverted from the support of Pend ton to that of Payne. Of thie two senators and two representatives named in the mi- jority report of the select committee—Moonej and ‘Roehe of the house, and White an Ramey of the senate—the signcYs of the rce port refer without observation of their owp 1o the majority and minority reports of tlie Ohio committe. They do” not find that the select committee recommended any action b e legislature looking to any furlher fuvestts | gation, and they express the opinion that there was no evidence presented to they United states senate which purported tad prove that irand, corruption or bri ery . jasy employed in Payne's election, affecting vote cither in the caucus or in the legislature, whereby the election was carried: nor 18 there ovidence that any suah proot exists | TTherefore the report holds thal {he sens would not be warranted under the consider-% ation in instituting an investigation.
