EDITOR OF THE PIONEER
The Mail Steamship, Europa, arrived at
Boston at 5 P. M, yesterday afternoon !;
and we expect our letters and papers on by
the New Haven train this afternoon. Judg-
ing by the Telegrapbic dispatches, the news
brought by the Europa is meager and unin-
teresting. 81, 500, 900 have been voted
ty the British Parliament, for carrying on
the Kaffir war.---Great preparations are
beng made in London, for the Peace Con-
gress Of Nations. -- Ninety Hungarian ref.
ugees had arrived in Southampton, from
Constantinople and the British Govern
ment were going to defray their expenses to
New York.-Mr. Whitney, the protector
Of the Pacific Railway, has land an interest
ing paper on the subject of his enterprise,
before the London Geographical Society.
The English papers are trying to make
it out tina. the Yankee editors are a set of
very poor scamPs, relying, for proof, on
what we all say of each other. We believe
that there has never been an instance of an
American editor being sent to prison, ex-
cept Col. Webb, whose crime was acting in
accordance with the code Of honor. Our
editors are rather addicted to abusing each
other, not from any malice, but because it
makes their paper sell. Our editors are
often sent to Congress,-,he Legislature,
and abroad as ambassadors !: but no Eng
lish editor, that we are aware of, ever had
such marks Of confidence bestowed upon
HIM Ivy the government or the people.
Two of our daily editors have been re-
Gently elected to Congress-one was Speak
or of the last Legislature Of the State, a.
mother was sent abroad as M ambas sador,
and another, the Oldest Of the fraternity,
was recently elected President Of Columbia
College. The editorial fraternity of Lon
don cannot enumerate any such honors that
were ever bestowed upon the profession
there. ia 70
1t is expected that the great fire at San
francisco and Stockton will cause many
heavy failures in this city as many Of our
wealthiest merchants have suffered ire
mendous losses from these calamities. Sew
e'al firms are already very shaky; and some
of them will probably cave in, during the
present month. ..... sa...s ,e..
1t is said that the Land Reformers are
going to nominate Mr.. Phalon, the owner
Of the celebrated Broadway Hairlressing
Saloons, as their candidate for Mayor. The
Land Reformers are fast becoming domi-
nant in political affairs, in New York. -
They eInbrace, all classes but their rank
and file is chiefly composed of Manifested
laborsrs and the "great unwashed." gensr-
ally. This probably accounts for their Sc
lection of Phalon as their candidate for
Mayor; who, It is well known, gives the
cieanest share and rash imaginable never
using comb, hairbrush, or shavinghrush
more than once, withouthaving it thorough
ly purified. Whomsoever the Land Re-
formers support, hereafter, either in, Local,
State. or National politics, will be pretty
sure to win; remark which politicians, of
all parties, would do well to SNAKE note

A movement that contemplates not slight

ternal adornments Of the ladies Of the Uni

importance; especially when backed BY

the discussions were spirited. As l thought
