London, July ill.? None of the amendments -ffcrod on Mi.iuliiy ni.lit to the Par? nell Commission bill was vital, mid none wully of much importance except tlie rffort to rxptmpe Mr. Justice Day's name from the Commission. The attack on him was ns heavy ns the united forces of the F-nrncllitcs nnd Glsdstoninns knew how to make it. Mr. Mor I j s speech and the letters lie rent! from Mr. Adnms made some impression; Mr. OladslOSMi's Support to this onslaught on an Knglisli judge an Impression still deeper?deep enough, perhaps, to be called painful. It js not, I hear, that Mr. Justice Day is really thought likely to be unfair to Mr. Parnell, but Mr. tarsal, wants a Heme Killer on the Commission, and simelmdy bael lei he attacked in order to make room for one. That was the real object of Mr. Sexton's amendment to incrca.e the number ol judges from three to five. Thc accused persons think it of gaea! nu trent to have an advocate, or at least a jud^e, who is sympathetic to them. They are not satis? fied with mir.* impartiality; but neither on this no: on any other point do the Government show any sign ol yielding, Tho two Chamberlain episodes added nothing to tho dignity of tin* debate. Mr. Parnell's charge of betraying Cabinet secrets is tun grave not to be denied. It is diflicult of proof, even wero it true. It is meant, say Mr. Chamberlain's friends, to draw edi attention from the nunn ?issue. Hr. Chamberlain himself BBB disposed this morn in s; to leave it unnoticed, but was strongly advised ta deny Its truth and challenge Mr, Pnrr.oll to prodaoe evidence. Mr. T. P. O'Connor's escapade need not be dwelt on. No human being ran be hasflBed by being calle d " Judas,'' nor is " Ji dus'' Chamberlain thc kind of nickname to Mick Mr. OT,i-i(-ii's veniiet of one hundred pounds llama ires Bgainal n Cork paper for libel is reckoned by Home Bairn here as a point* sooted for Mr Parnell against " Ile I Hie; s." The accusations against Mr. O'Brien wire In some Kapeela similar tn those against Mr. Parnell. Mr. O'Brien te-ti fu (I, was (ii.-s*. xamincd, and came out alive. Ha told little that had not bet n known before. Ile admitted anel roggrdted the saonatrona calumnies against Lari BpeBOei and Sir George Otto Tre? velyan, pleading political bi ot sal tit a in palliation. lb Anally g'?t his verdict. Why nay not Mr. L'ar m-ll go and do likewise- ask his Gladatoniaa friends. Very poaaibly be will, T_M verdict in the Mainleville inquest will give rise to a debate in the House of Commona,' at l*'iist, thal is what the Parm-llite party now intend. Mr. Balfour, boarever, oo being questioned ha-s ix pri-sil the opinion that the censure on prison t'llie.ials ia not warranted by facts; BOB is his confidence in Dr. Parr shaken. Ile would wel? come, he added, aay flaethod of bringing tie* tr.th before the public. ** Froucillon"' is not liked. It is perhaps its brilliancy of dialogue that makes il M. Humus's rt.*.-te** rei. but* the forte of au Eng1 lt1* audience does not lie in detect mg the sparkle of French profe. Baside, " Francillon-' requires good acting all round, lhere is no one in M. Mayer's troupe cf comedians up to thc mark except Madame Sarah Bernhardt, and the character of " Franrilli.n'1 docs not give her scope enough to make up for the pen eral deficiency. The audience received the play coldly. G. W. S. -^_?-?_. UriiOAR IS TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS. PARNELL RENEWS HIS ATTACK ON CHAM* BEHLA1S. THK BII.M1NOIIAM MBMBBg GIVPS AN KLABORATF.

THE NEWJER.SEY LAW SUSTAINED. , 2 of niOH LICENSE AND LOCAL OPTION BOTH UP* IIF.LD, THE LATTER BY A DIVIDED COCBT. ] Trenton, N. J , July 81.-The Court of Errors and Appeal* to day sus'alned tho High License and County <>ptl<*-n law tn all Ita parla. The act will stand W parsed by thc Republican Legislature last winter, ap? proved by the coutt of laat resort. Impregnable sara to -cgt-datlve asssulf. The court sustained tte high* license portions of the act unanimously and the county option clauses by a vote ol eight to seven. The suit I. a Republican victory over the combination Democrats and liquor doalei*s, of Republican lawyen and lawmakers over their political opponents and professional rivals. It was a surprise to nearly all, because lt had been freely predicted that tho county option dames at least would fall, and to the liquor dealers lt ls a thunderbolt. The court ls composed of the Chancellor, nine Supreme Court Justices and sis lay Judges. Three of tho former are Republicans and all thu rest aie Democrats. The opinion of tbe mae Jority was read by Justice Van Syekel. and each mem? ber voled a loud affirmative on the high license part of tbo act. On the county-option section tho vote ww na fellows: For the act-Chief Justice Beasley, Juatfcn Van Syekel, Pepue. Magie, Dixon and Scudder, and Judgw Clement ar.d Patterson. Aga'nst-Chaucellor McGill, Justices Reed, Knapp, and Judges Cole, Hrown, McGrertir and Whittaker. Justice i.ai rise,a sat In the court below, and then, lore had no vote. Only one part of the opinion provoked a glimmer ol amusement. It was when the Juelge alluded to the alleged Interference of tho Judicial bi au oh with executive powers. There was a suggestion of a cblp* on- tb ^shoulder In this that was thoroughly enjoyed. The only criticism upon tho act by Justice Van Syekel was concerning the language In the part providing foi the revocation of lie iw for violation of the Sunday law- and other Infringements. He thought the sen tencofi should have been formed differently to properly express tho meaning nf the Legislature. Positive as was the tenor of the whole opinion, lt was still ad? mitted that there were strong precedents on tho othes Sida, but, said the Justice, where doubt v. ta lt must bo ki iv eel lu behalf of tho law. The opinion ts very long and would ocenpy, Il printed in line type in "The Trlbun**,*1 about three columns or more. The flrst half dozen sentences Indi? cated Its drift, the Judge treating tho points raised by tbe opponents of the act a_ questions tliat required dis? cussion, but to which there could be only a negative answer. Coming to details, Judge Van Syekel first discussed Clio claim that tho law was vobl on account of a defect In the title, and alluded to tbo recent Mle h1g_.ii decision against a local option law as a rase In point. Ile said that If the law under review pren hlblted the entire traine, while the title merely spoke ol regulating the traill*.*, ho would have no hesitation In pronouncing lt uticeinstitutlonal. After an analyst! of those sections of the law which related to this sub? ject, bo held that tbe law does not prohibit but simply regulate*. He decided that la view of adjudicated cases tho title was sufficient, The second Question taken up by the court ww whether tho classification by population was sufficient, It has been claimed that the section ls a regulation ol the internal affairs of towns and cities, and the diversity created ls fatal unless tho basis of classifica? tion ls a substantial one. Whether this basis ls wise ur Judicious, or whether lt will operate a_> fairly as some other basis, ls for the legislature and not for tho court to say. The court's inquiry ls whether tho basis bears any reasonable relation to the subject to which the Legislature has applied lt. After an ex? amination Info the results of the classification of the license fees and of the decision.) on this subje_t, the court held the classification valid. Tho questions as to punishment and trial, tho court held, were not involved in this mattor, and can be eliminated from the act without destroying Ita validity. The right to revoke liconees for cause was entirely beyond dispute. Tho local-option branch was then taken up, and the court said that there was no express piovlslon In tho Constitution precluding tho Legislature Irom dele? gating 6uch powers ns those conferred In this act Hie Judge cited Instances where the Legislature delegated powers, such as eminent domain and others, which havo boen passed by unchallenged. He mentioned a law recently BWaed by Congress as a case In point, lhere was n) unlawful delegation of power in this case. Put the liquor trafflo has always been deal! with In an exceptional way. It ls a subject by ltsell and no other topic can fairly be compared with lt. Tho history of liquor legislation for 150 years has shown this. The old law does not differ materially frem that now before tho court. One referrcei the qiie=t|e,n of license or no license to twelve freeholders and the courts; tho others to a larger number. And lt ls to bo remembered that tho right to sell does not exist except by license. There ls allandy prohibition, ami If ls only In so far that tho legislature removes this prohibition and permits license that the courts aro to discuss tlili case. Iii.* plea that thn law waa special In lt. application because ono county might adopt " no license" and another license was Illusory. Tho law Itself Is not special, and does mit contravene tho Constitution. It may operate differently In differ? ent sections, but lt cannot pa ic-l'l to bo special In? trinsically on that account. Innutnerablo acts aro oa the statute books that would be equally open to chal? lenge. Returning to ihe question of delegation of power, tho Judgo elaborated these points at length ami toeeli up a number of minor abJeettOM Bf M general interest. In conclusion bo declared tho entire law constitutional and vali'l. Chancellor Mc(.IU then called the roll un one of tho thlW cases before the court, being that which Involved emly tho btgh-llcense features of the act. Every Judge voled to a Iii mi. ii.nt thea ealled tea nu on the aeeood al the throe cases, which Involved thai ol the enanty option question. When Judge Rend'* name ni rewhed he vetted io revers.- tin- dOdatOB In favor eif county option, ami uroroeili-d ii give hi- raw bbs Informally. Ho considered this portion nf ibo SCI tee be a eicie-i^ailon eil ?owes beyond anv doubt, sad was the -ann anabasis In the opinion licrausi lie remembered, he ?alu. the positiveness with which Judge Van Svikel had dwell upon tho uncontitliiiHonalllv of such delegation In his elecl,lon of the Chatham local option law.
