Awful splutter in Ministerial circles. A gleam of delight flashed through the shadow when it was discovered that JENNINGS had rebelled against RANDOLPH'S new revolt. "Ha! ha!" said the REVERBERATING COLOMB, after JENNINGS had made his speech, "the army has dismissed its general." This all very well; not here concerned with GRANDOLPH'S relations with his Party or his faithful friend; merely note that the speech itself lifts GRANDOLPH once more into the very front rank of political personages. The Liberal Party cannot ignore nor the Conservatives dispense with the man who made that speech. JOKIM not a particular friend of GRANDOLPH'S. "Leg quite on other boot," as SHEEHY says. But he did the enemy a service to-night. To complete GRANDOLPH'S triumph it only required that some Member of the Ministry whose ineptitude he had demonstrated should rise and, with loud voice, ungainly gestures, drag the Debate down from the heights to which it had been lifted, debasing it by personal attacks hoarsely shrieked across the table at former friends and colleagues. JOKIM did this amidst uproarious cheers from JOHNSTON of Ballykilbeg, who began to think that, after all, there is something in the Right Hon. Gentleman. _Business done._--OLD MORALITY'S Motion carried. _Wednesday._--Attempt by some noisy outsiders who know nothing of House to make things unpleasant for AKERS-DOUGLAS, because House Counted Out last Friday. Said he has been wigged; assume he will retire. All arrant nonsense. Everybody in House, Conservative, Liberal, Dissentient, Irish, whatever we be, all know AKERS-DOUGLAS as one of best Whips of present generation. Assiduous, persuasive, courteous, yet firm; always at his post, never fussy, never cross, apparently never tired, he is a model of a Whip. His Party could better spare an occasional Secretary of State. [Illustration: Our Whip (at present without a Handle to his Name).] For purely business arrangements Ministers have a unique combination of three men. OLD MORALITY, as Leader of House; AKERS-DOUGLAS, as Whip; and JACKSON, as Financial Secretary, are strong enough to balance effects of any reasonable amount of blundering in high politics. They take care of the pence of efficiency and popularity, and leave the MARKISS an occasional pound to spend. _Business Done._--New Irish Land Bill brought in, and cast out. _Thursday._--TEYNHAM on in the Lords, but what he's on about the Lords only know, and not all of them. Something to do with Camperdown; GRANVILLE not entirely out of it; and the MARKISS at least compromised. TEYNHAM, standing at Cross Benches, holding on to the rail of Bench before him, as if he were in pulpit, swings about his body, turns to right and left, sometimes presenting his back to LORD CHANCELLOR, whilst he contemplates emptiness of Strangers' Galleries. In plaintive voice, full of tears, he babbles o' Camperdown, green fields, _nemine contradicente_, and Standing Order No. XXI.
