Conservatives, in sacrificing not merely feelings,
prejudices, and scruples, but even the principles

may sometimes in the heat of au engagement be
tempted to seize upon the post which is nearest to
us, but in doing so we may derange the order of

opponent, to sacrifice small objects to great ones,

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1867.

Mr. Glad6tone ar.•d the Liberal Party.

is so bad from beginning to end that I have no
hope of its being made worthy of the acceptance
of Parliament or the country. The county
franchise is not adequately extended. The
borough franchise is constructed to beguile
the Radicals, yet to satisfy the Tories ; and either
the one party or the other will be horribly cheated
by it. It will entail upon us conflict in our parishes
and corruption at our elections. In some boroughs
it will admit the very lowest class of householders,
while in the vast majority of boroughs, as in my
own, it will exclude the skilled, educated, and well-
paid artisans. The principle of the dual vote has
been universally condemned in the house and the
country. The proposed plan of voting by polling
papers is open to endless fraud and the exercise of
undue influence to an unlimited extent. The two
years' residence is a great injustice to the new voters
as compared with the old. The fancy franchises are
liable to gross abuse. The absence of a lodger fran-
chise will make the bill inoperative in the metro-
polis. The redistribution of seats is ridiculously
inadequate to redress the anomalies of the electoral
map.

The following letter has been addressed by Mr.
Baines to Mr. Crawford; M P.:—
" My dear Sir,—ln the present crisis of the Libe-
ral party and the Reform cause I venture, as a very
humble but earnest friend of both, to appeal to you
for the initiation of some measure calculated to bring
back Mr. Gladstone to the position which he alone
can fill, of our trusted' and honoured leader. The
correspondence which you have already had with
him, your position as a member for London, and, I
may add, the respect which you command in the
house, all justify you in undertaking this duty.
"In making this public call I must ask your per-
mission to add a few remarks.
" No one can doubt the indispensable necessity of
party organisation for effecting any great end in the
House of Commons; and it is equally clear that that
organisation cannot be maintained without a leader,
to whom the party give their confidence and yield a
reasonable and considerable deference. But if this is
so, under any circumstances, organisation is most
emphatically requisite at a great crisis of our consti-
tutional history, when our lundamental institutions
are to be remodelled. And it is most of all essential
when this work is undertaken by a Government the
members and supporters of which have been the life-
long enemies of Reform, and who are now only
driven to it either as a means of retaining office, or
under fear of the poplar indignation which their
own conduct has provoked.
" Yet it is at such a moment that the Reform
party iu the house finds itself without a leader; and
unless Mr. Gladstone can be induced to resume that
all-important post the party will be paralysed, and
the mighty interests of the Constitution will be aban-
doned to the tender mercies of anti-reformers.
" I am afraid I cannot justify Mr. Gladstone for
the step he has taken, unless on the ground that it
was really necessary to show the Liberals the ruin-
ous consequences of their disunion. Should it
have that effect it will be vindicated. It is
impossible to deny that, as the defection of a
certain number of Liberals last year destroyed the
Refor'm Bill and the Reform Government, so the
same cause has this year reduced the Reform party
to powerless confusion. I impugn uo man's motives,
but Liberal members cannot fail to see what has
been the disastrous effect of abandoning their party
and their leader in 'a great crisis. Nor can they
justly complain of a leader who, after doing every-
thing that zeal, vigour; and consummate ability
could do to insure success, and yet being left by his
own friends to sustain a decisive defeat, seems to
despair of thereafter leading the same forces to

Such are some of the objectionable features of
the bill, and it is an additional cause of alarm that
it is to be conducted through committee by a minis-
ter of whom it is needless to say more than that he
is the author of the measure.
" Unless the Reforthers can re-unite under a re-
cognised leader, it is evident that every attempt to
check the rapid progress of the bill, or to ehangeeits
character, will utterly fail. The Liberal majority
willbecouaea routed minority; and we ought gravely
to consider how we shall be able so justify ourselves
to our constituents and the country for permitting
the ruin of the Reform cause when we had actually
the means in our hands of insuring its triumph.
" There seems to me no possible means of avert-
ing this disaster and disgrace but by appealing to
Mr. Gladstone again.to take the initiative. What-
ever we may think of ,it, the fact is, as expressed
in his letter to you, that he has felt that pru-
dence requires him to withdraw from his attempts
to assume the initiative in 'amending the Government
Bill. He says I shall not proceed with th e
amendments now on the paper in my name, nor
give notice of other amendments such as I had con-
templated.' But he declares—' I am not less willing
than heretofore to remain at the service of the party ;
and when any suitable occasion shall arise, if it
shall be their wish, I shall be prepared again to
at tempt concerted action on this or any other sub-
ject for the public good.' I infer from these words
that Mr. Gladstone would obey the call of his party,
but that he will not resume the lead, at least on the
Reform question, without such call. May we not
hope that the party which has witnessed his unri-
valled services in the cause of Free Trade, of Fi-
nance, and of Reform, for so many years, will now,
from gratitude for the past and with full trust for
the future, recall their only possible leader, and fol-
low him to another constitutional victory ? .
" Excuse th 4 appeal from one who has no other
apology to offer for it but his earnest zeal in the
cause ; and permit me again to entreat you not to
shrink from the responsibility of taking immediate
steps to bring back the Liberal party to ' concerted
action.'—l am, aear sir, yours truly,

victory.
" You will not fail to appreciate the anxiety which
Mi. Gladstone has shown to take counsel with his
'own party, and to defer to opinions not merely of a
majority, but even of a respectable minority of their
number.. Three times have they been summoned to
his house for the purpose of interchanging views.
He has been accessible to opinions from every quar-
ter, either expressed directly to himself or gathered
through Mr. Brand. Though his own opinion and
that of his late colleagues in office, of Mr. Bright,
and I believe a majority of the party, was in favour
of opposing the 'second reading of the Government
Bill, he deferred to the judgment of a minority, but
with the understanding that an instruction should
be moved before going into committee, which would
insure the bringing' of the bill, on essential points,
into accordance with the views of the Liberal party.
When that instruction was prepared, explained, and
agreed to almost unanimously by the, party, and
when Mr. Coleridge was ready to move it, at the

last hour Mr. Gladstone,ivas waited upon by a depu-
tation from the tea-room, and again yielded to the
earnest representation•of a miuority by withdraw-
ing the most important part of the instruction.
Finally, he moved an amendment, which every real
Liberal ought to have supported, because it, virtually
placed compounders below £lO in the same position
as the law had long placed compounders above £lO
—and here, though supported by the great bulk of
his party, he was deserted by so many as to give
the victory to Mr. Disraeli. Itis evident that Dir. Glad-
stone has shown no want of deference to his party,
and that, if he has committed any fault iu this
respect, it has been by yielding too much, not too
little.

A IV harthliffo meeting of this company was held
at Edinburgh on Friday, to cont,ider various bills
now before Parliament ; Mr. Stirling presided.
The CHAIRMAN said that the most important bill
was for raising a pre-preference stock, but was not
sufficiently advanced to be submitted to the present
meeting, which would be adjourned till May 25, for
consideration of that measure. He proposed reso-
lutions for approval of the bill for deviation of the
Stobcross (Glasgow) branch, and for acquisition of
land at Dundee for station purposes ; the bill to
enable the Solway Junction Company to use four
miles of the Carlisle and Silloth Bay line, belonging
to the North British ; the bill authorising an agree-
ment with the Caledonian as to Grangemouth
Harbour; the Deviation Bill of the City of Glasgow
Union Railway, to which the North British were
subscriber 4; and a bill extending by a year the time
for completion by the company of new markets at
Edinburgh.

" Of Mr. Gladstone's claims to lead the Liberal
party in the house I suppose there can be no possible
doubt. In statesmanlike abilities, in parliamentary
and official experience, in mastery of statistical sub-
jects, he has no rival ; while his perfect sincerity and
high-souled earnestness are the admiration of the
whole country, and have won for him the warmly-
expressed confidence of nearly every public meeting
of Reformers last year and this. He had made the
Reform question eminently his own. This has been
universally recognised ever since his speech on the
Borough Franchise Bill in 1864. As soon as he be-
came leader of the house of Commons, Lord Russell
and he staked the existence of their Government on
the success of their Reform measure, and they sac-
rificed power because they could not carry it. At the
beginning of this session Lord Russell, at Air. Glad-

The resolutions approving the bills and for ad-
journment were unanimously carried.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on
the inlrease of traffic since their last meeting, which
he believed would have been larger if they had only
had sufficient plant.

The meeting then adjourned.

GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA.

The report of the directors states, that in the
course of the half-year portions of the Nagpoor line,
from Budnaira to Poolgaum, 401 miles, on the 16th
of July, and from Poolgaum to Sindee, 38f miles,
on the sth of November, together 78f miles, were
opened for public traffic ; and of the Jubbulpoor
line, from Boorhaunpoor to Khundwa, 424, on
the 3d of September ; total, 121 i ; which, added
to 701 k miles previously opened, made the total
length open for traffic on the 31st of December
last 8224 miles. The average number of miles
worked during the half-year was 77746 miles,
against 601.8 miles in the corresponding half of
the year 1865. The total receipts for the half-
year ending December last amounted to £440,205,
against £620,857, in the same half of 1865, show-
ing a decrease of £180,652. The working expenses
amounted to £337,727, against £371,275 in the
same half of 1865, showing a decrease of £33,548.
The revenue account for the first time had the sig-
nature of the consulting engineer of the Bombay
Government as signifying the adoption of that ac-
count by the Government. The net receipts of the
half-year amounted to £102,478 to be carried to the
credit of the company in reduction of guaranteed
interest advanced by the Government. The decrease
in the merchandise receipts arose chiefly on the
two important items of cotton and seeds, which
amounted to £171,468 out of the total decrease of
£193,099 owing to the financial crisis of last year.
The falling off in the cotton receipts was also attri-
butable to the circumstance of the company having
succeeded in carrying to Bombay before the 30th
of June,- 1866, nearly the whole of the cotton crop
of the previous season, the fact being that only 4,400
tons of cotton were carried in last half-year, as
against £37,256 tons in the corresponding half of
1865. The traffic on the line was, however, again
steadily improving, the gross receipts of the first 11
weeks. of the current half-year having amounted to
to £441,705, or something more than the total re-
ceipts for the past half-year. The directors had en-
gaged Mr. Walter Knox, of the London and North-
Western Railway, as general traffic manager in
India, and he left for Bombay in March. Major-
General Rivers, R.E., entered upon his duties as
the company's agent in India at the end of Nov.
Considerable progress was made with the doubling
of the line between Callian and Kussara at the foot
of the Thull Ghat incline. The second line was
opened for traffic on the 22d of October from Cal-
lian to Wassind, and on the 20th of February last
from Wassind to Atgaum. It was expected that
the remaining 16 miles from Atgaum to Kussara
would be ready during the month of April, thus
completing the double line from Bombay to the top
of the Thull Ghat. The doubling of this section of
the line, the gradients upon which were very
heavy, would greatly facilitate the working of the
traffic. On the 20th of February last the remain-
ing portion from Sindea to Nagpoor, 291 miles, was
opened for public traffic, and considerable advance
made on the Jubbulpoor line. The next portion to
be opened being from Kundwa to Hurda, 69i miles,
from the latter place to Etarsee, 49 miles, was well
advanced, and might be opened for traffic very soon

stone's house, emphatically devolved upon his late
colleague the lead of the Opposition. The attendance
of the entire party on his invitation, and the recep-
tion which they repeatedly gave him,
together with
the approbation of all his former colleagues in the
Ministry, ratified his appointment. Lord Grosvenor
and Mr. Bright concurred on thispoint. The marked
hostility of his opponents vindicated his title. In
fact, I feel it is almost absurd to prove Mr. Glad-
stone's right to the lead of his party, audit would be
altogether so but for the defections which have
thrown doubt upon its universal acknowledgment.
" If, then, in the present crisis of the Constitution
the necessity of a leader for the Liberal party is so
incontrovertible, and if Mr. Gladstone is not only
their best, but their only
possible leader, might we
not reasonably expect that he should receive their
hearty and general support ? True, we cannot dic-
tate to independent members the course which they
should pursue. If in so important a crisis of our his-
tory they think it right to detach themselves from
the body of the Reformers, we can only leave them to
theirown consciences and their constituents. But we
must point out to them the inevitable consequences
—namely, the defeat, if not the destruction, of the
Reform party, and the surrender of our representa-
tive system into the hands of the Tories, to model it
according to their will. To me these appear to be
consequences in the highest degree disastrous to
Liberal principles, dishonourable to the Reform
party, and fatal to the hope of any satisfactory
settlement of the constitutional question.

the fitting up of which wonla be vigorously pro-

The motion having been seconded, some dizeu
sion ensued, and, in reply to questions, it was stated
that the company would send in its account to the
municipality for the public lighting every month,
and the concession stipulated that the account
should be paid within the time specified. That
company was now in every respect a Russian com-
pany ; it had the power of suing and being sued.
The cost of coal was estimated at about 40s. per ton
in Moscow. The debentures issued were at 8 per
cent., and were for terms of five, seven, and ten
years. They did not expect to make any profit out
of the public lights, but the price paid wa a little
in excess of the cost. It left a small balance on the
right side. They expected profit from the private
lights.

The report was adopted. Messrs. C. F. Kemo
and J. R. Peill were re-elected auditors, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
Chairman.
