BRI7ISH SUBJECTS IN PARAGUAY.

The following letter will dissipate the false im-
pressions promulgated in interested organs respect-
ing the treatment of foreign subjects by Lopez :25, 1868.—Would you be kind
and let me know of the welfare

any of my countrymen are not wanting for any-
thing which is needful for our comfort or happi-
ness ; and I do not fear but that I shall continue
to have friends so long as I endeavour to serve
my employers in a manner in which I also would
wish to he served. I have not room to say more,
further than to tell you that I like the country and
the people very much. His Excellency the Presi-
dent is the principal friend I have_ You would be
pleased to hear of his Excellency's many repeated
acts of kindness to me. You probably already know
much of this country from those who have been here
and returned to you again, but perhaps no other
Englishman (with the exception of Capt. --) is
better able to speak of it, by comparison with other
nations, than myself ; for after I left your service
and entered as an engineer officer in the service
of her Majesty, I visited nearly every nation of
the old world, and I am able to say, speaking
generally that the people here are immeasurably
superior to the people of England or of any other
nation I have yet seen in one great respect—
namely, they are Christians not in name only but
in practice. All that you have heard of their
bravery has not been overrated ; they are brave be-
cause they are good. And my happiest reflection
here is, that I am an humble servant of such a
noble race of people." Several British subjects
have recently arrived in London from Paraguay,

THE .RIGHT HON. J. TV. HENLEY AND
THE TENANT FARMERS.

In a paper on " Tenant Right," read by air. C. H.
Lattimore, at 'a meeting of the Herts Chamber of Agri.
culture, the following statement was made :—" After I
was examined before the committee of the House of Com-
mons, Mr. Henley called me aside, and told me he could
defy any man living to argue successfully against the claim
I made on behalf of the tenant farmers. I was struck at
this, and asked whether he was sincere ; and he replied,
'Of course lam ; here are no witnesses.' I then told
him that if that were so I was surprised at his brow.
beating the witnesses ; and I asked him why he did
not take the other side. To this he replied, Why, don't
you see that if your views were carried out the tenant
farmers would he as independent of the landlords as the
landlords are of the tenants ?' I then asked why they
should not be so under commercial rents and commercial
tenures ; and he replied, If the farmers took your view of
the case it might be so ; but we (the landlords) don't intend
to emancipate the tenant farmers. We are going to amuse
I them with Protection.' And then, offering his hand,
he said Good-bye.' Within a short time of that Mr.
Henley was addressing the electors of Oxfordshire as the
Right Hon. J. W. Henley, President of the Board of
Trade. The evidence given before the committee is
shelved in a blue-book, and tenant right is still to be won.
You hint a doubt and hesitate, dislike to give the
tenant the protection of the laws."
To this Mr. Henley has replied :—" An article
was shewn to me yesterday, in which Mr. Lattimore
is reported to have made a statement at the Hert-
fordshire Chamber of Agriculture of a conversation,
alleged to have taken place between himself and me, after
his examination before the committee on agricultural
customs in 1848. I know no reason why Mr. Lattimore
should wish to injure or misrepresent me, and therefore
can only say, if I had any conversation with him, he must
have entirely misunderstood or forgotten what took place
twenty-one years ago. Those who have read Mr. Latti-
more's evidence, or who know me, will, I think, be cer-
tain that it is impossible I could have said what he
states, and to a perfect stranger. To others I would say
that, soon after the repeal of the corn laws, I took an
active part in breaking up our county protection society,
and giving the balance of our funds to the county hospital.
I declined to join with other such societies in the county
or elsewhere, and at public dinners said I could find no
ground to seek a change of the law ; and I did this to pre-
vent persons misleading themselves, or being misled by
others. These were my acts. I deny using the words, or
anything like them"
