THE BOSTON ELECTION.

-- -
Mr. George Howell, secretary to the Reform
League, has written to . a Mr. George Guinniss,
a publican of Boston, stating that certain
facts have been brought to the notice of the
League respecting his conduct at the late
election, and that they feel it their duty to call
upon him to answer for his conduct immediately,
and that if he should fail to do so within three days
they will take steps to bring him before a legal
tribunal. If the Reform League, or any other
political body of either side, would undertake the part
of public prosecutor in cases of electoral offences,
they would confer a great benefit on society. We
already have electoral associations for watching the
register ; why should not their powers be extended so
as to punish any abuse of the register ?

HABEAS CORPUS IN IRELAND.
The. late Government deserves credit for having so
far gtampecl.ont_ Fenianitn thatAut new „Gov ern.

Two years ago Mrs. Gladstone established at
Snaresbrook a home for patients recovering from
the cholera in the East-end of London. This insti-
tution was subsequently converted into a permanent
sanatorium for the convalescent poor of that district.
But the people of Snaresbrook, with a selfishness
that is almost sublime, have prevailed upon the
owner of the house to give Mrs. Gladstone notice to
quit, with only a fortnight to make the change. One
of the churchwardens appears to have been the prime
mover in this most Christian work. He declared the
Home was a public nuisance, but vouchsafed
no further explanation. The churchwarden
would seem to be an infrequent attendant at church,
otherwise he would have remembered something
about the words of commendation bestowed upon
those who visited the sick. Mrs. Gladstone is now
obliged to appeal to the public for help, and asks
that funds may be raised for erecting a permanent
home where she may not be subject to the caprices
of selfish churchwardens.
MR. JOHNSON AND THE WORKING LIEN„
Mr. Robert Coningsby, confessing himself heartily
ashamed of the whole business, writes to Mr. Johnson
to ask him to relieve the committee of working men
from their engagement to give him a dinner. He
says that as there is a division among them upon the
subject, that which was intended for a compliment
might become an insult. Mr. Johnson makes a digni-
fied reply. He makes no objection to the withdrawal
of the invitation, and respectfully denies the right
of any class of persons in this country, many or few,
to question that he is a representative of the Govern-
ment and people of the United States." He further
says : "I object, if possible, more decidedly, that any
such impression constitutes even the semblance of
excuse for any act of discourtesy towards me offi-
cially. For: whatever estimation I may be held in
by those who have been instrumental in compelling
you and those associated with you to do what
you evidently consider an ungentlemanly act, I
should feel no concern personally, but only
regret it on account of its authors." Ile
believes ho has the approbation of the bulk of
the working men in this country, and that the
unprejudiced and intelligent people in his own, who
witness with pleasure the reconciliation of the
Fedteal and Confederate generals, will not censure
his treatment of Messrs. Roebuck and Laird, who
owe no allegiance to the United Statcs. Mr. Johnson
is hardly happy in his comparison. The Confederate
officers are now loyal ; Mr. Roebuck is apparently
impenitent. For all that, the London working men
have done an exceedingly blundering and ungraceful
thing, and have arrogated to themselves far more
than their due importance.

A FAST TRAIN,
British tyranny has at last given up the patriot
George Francis Train, and in leaving the inhospitablo
shores of Ireland that gentleman gives us his
blessing. Perhaps it is good for us to hear of our
faults, though put before us in an exaggerated form,
This is Mr. Train's opinion of the British Constitu-
tion : " Twelve hundred thousand paupers,
six hundred thousand drunkards, one million
and a half of bastards, one hundred thousand
prostitutes, and the army, navy, and Church." Of
the British Crown and Monarchy : " Some diamonds
made out of the slave trade, the spoliation of Ireland,
the robbing of the Church, the squeezing of the
Begums of Oude, placed in a velvet porkpie hat, and
stuck on the end of a broomstick, for twenty millions
of slaves to fall down on their marrow-bones and
worship, under the idea that it is a king or queen or
prince They pay one million sterling directly,
and over seventy millions indirectly, for this
bauble of royalty." The House of Commons,
British virtue, and British independence all
come under the lash of this Diogenes, and he
gives some Court news, in which we find the follow-
ing interesting item :—" The distinguished German
Prince Tech-, while playing rackets to-day, burst his
trousers in the presence of the entire Court. They will
-be mended at the expense of the State, as usual."
Finally, Mr. Train says the Americans will not declare
war against England, because they aro cowards. It
is evident that if George Francis is off the rails, he
is well up in railing; and we may congratulate ourselves
that this crazy censor is now " making tracks" over
the broad. Atlantic.
