Mr. Parnell has met the publication of the indictment with

a very much altered tone of speech. He is obviously very much frightened, and very desirous to raise other issues against the Government,—such as that their object is not to have the offences charged really tried, but to keep the leaders of the Irish party out of Parliament at a critical time. He also tries to excite odium againstthe Government, on the ground Olathe is fol- lowed about by detectives, whom he threatens, if he catches them on his own ground, to throw into the river. Mr. Parnell's nerve appears to be failing him. Whether the prosecutions succeed or fall through, they will re-enforce on the Irish imagination the legitimate authority of the law.
