Tax party coloring which is transfused into all the cablegrams that reach the colonies in regard to the Irish question, makes it very difficult to form a just opinion on the points that are elicited during the co ires of the Parnell Commission enquiry. A great deal was recently made of an admission by Mr Parnell that he had made erroneous statements in the House of Commons. Just to show the contemptible way in which those who pull the strings endeavor to warp the judgment of colonists, we publish the following item (by the 'Frisco mail), which the agents carefully omitted to send by cables—“On May 7th. before the Commission, Mr Parnell corrected his testimony Jot the week preceding. He said he had been misled. The fact was that when he said in the Commons that Ribboniem and Ribbon Societies generally were dead, he did not refer to the conspiracies at large. When ha addressed the Commons, therefore, his speech stated only the truth, and he now stood by that speech.”
