HTHE ASIA'S MAIL.-THE DISMISSAL OF MR.. CRAMP-
TON.
The last arrivals from England left everybody Lords
Commons, newspapers and the whole country generally
engaged in discussing Mr. John Champion We think they
in hopeful way and the they discuss the
thoroughly will they be satisfied that the American govern
has been altogether in the right and the British gov
totally in the wrong in the enlistment business
1t is not worth while present for say much upon
the general question: but there few salient points
in the newspaper articles which are not unworthy of
passing observation.
The London Times which processes to lead opinion in
Great Brit0ia continues to be- usual
ignorant laundering whining disngenuous mendacious-
in word sunk such depths of mcannes and of desper
ateness that point it of those British nsti
tutions which like the late William Palmer constitute the
shame and the disgrace Of the intellect OF Great Britain
The Morning Post exhibits compound of bIuster and
Of barney which of account unless (Which we can
hardly bring oursclf to believe it speaks by authority
Among the remarkable things, which are made con-
spcuous by all these newspaper and parliamentary dis
cussions in England is the systematic pains which
taken to suppress the American side of the ques-
lion. To this day of Mr. Marcys letters so far
have observed has been admitted into the columns
Of the Times Post Chronicle STANDARD, or any other
Of the journals which undertake to justify or paate the
conduct Of Mr. Champion. Thus It is that until within
very few days past they have constantly assumed that the
whole question Of Mr. Champions guilt innocence was
question of veracy between Mr. Champion and two Of his
many confidential agents, Srobc and Hertz II they had
had the manness and the candor read Mr. Marcy des
patch of the 2sh oDecember last they would seen that
the question of the credbiiy of srobe and Hertz was not
OF the least significance in the controversy The prom
given TO these individuals dodge and very
petty one, the part OF Mr. Champion Strike strobe
and Hertz out Of the case and Mr. Champion remains con-
yeted in the eyes Of God and oman by autograph letters
OF himself Of Lieutenant Preston Of the officers Of the
provincial government of Nova Scotia OF dozen such
letters the Times has just discovered the existence Of two
and il endeavors in vain to escape from their force Strange
enough that the Times should have the eont/ to seek
escape Here is crime proved judciay TO have been
committed in which crime Mr. Champion is alleged to be the
employer and Hertz and srobe the employed among nu-
merous Others Hertz has been duly con victed Mr. Cramp-
ton stands upon his dignity and has the impotence to say
that because Hertz is inferior to him In social condition
Hertz Is not to be believed The answer to that is Mr.
Champions autograph letters Mr. Hertz And so in the
case Of Strobel.
But Of all the paltry things that paltry mind ever
conceived Of the paltrct Is tho reason which the Times
gives for advising the dismissal Of Mr. Dallas which Is ss
follows;
1.-THE American government has dismissed minister
consuls for which government maintains DO
That Is the only substantial part Of the move.
That the American government has done II in such way
TO induce take II quietly and patiently possible
minor affair and Of course Is to be expected The question
Il whether accept such rebuff tn, logical
e 70 reply ~ The very Of anogonifs
He has dmsed representative with the utmost possible
ovy, and in the entire confidence that shall not be Of
Tended. We can, II we please do the same.
owe let Mr.. Dallas return to the United States with
greet that they have put wrong construction conduct
Nuais faRdts there Ia not word in the communication
reported from Washington that may not be returned in the
most cordial spirit or course would very much rather
that the controversy advanced step step ou
on but Is the American government that leads IL the 9th
way. The American government tells that minis
and copus have become dsagreeabe to them through
their conneriou with disagreeable affair.
"Mr Dallas s personally agreeable man. but he has
been made the channel Of the intelligence that Mr. CHAMPION
and the consu have been dismissed. This Of course
make his presence painful to this country Such might be
called Logical mode Of replying to the last the
American side. That has been made with much
tho reply should be made with less These are tho
open government and we presume TO
be spxiousy engaged in the choice between them"
Was ever anything baser or sillier than this7 Mr.
Champion for period Of six months had been guilty
OF criminal violation Of the laws Of the United
States Confidential associates and agents Of his in the
crime have been convicted in dine course Of law Mr.
Champion was saved from indictment and conviction only
