A London letter to the n. y. Time,
says
l cannot see that England has any.
thing 10 boast OF over other States in DO.
litical morality. The disclosures Of job
bling and corruption that come out now
and then are absolutely astounding.
For example, In 1926 a lighthouse was
wanted on some rocks neal Ceylon. In
the course Of q few years an estimate
was procured, and the cost, $4,000, OPP
propriAted. Other appropriations have
been made from time 20 time, and now,
nearly 40 years after the matter com.
menced, IL turns "a that $4,000 have
been expended, and still there is no light
house. There are Jobs like this all over
the planet, on which British officials are
fattening at the public expense. The
great endowed charities are misappro-
priated. The funds OF the Church are
misspplied. Bishops have $4,000 TO
$8c000 a year, with nominal duties.
The Irish Church is confessedly only an
English garrison in an enemy's country.
The estimate for the Houses Of Parlia-
ment was $3,50O,000. II was abundant.
They actually cost the country Sl5,00O,-
600, and a more wretched and bungling
failure in the way Of architecture, con-
sidering cost and uses, does not exist.
Nevertheless, Senator Toembs, Of
Georgia, says that the British Govern
ment is q much better and purer govern
ment than our own, and the Southern
rebel journals frequently contrast the
corruption Of the United States Govern
ment with the oRoman virtue" Of victO-
riA's dynasty. Monarchies are often
supposed 10 be more honest than Repub-
lies, simply from the fact that under The
former mode Of government the public
are ignorant Of the dishonesty and pro.
aigacy of their rulers, while under re-
publics the faults Of public officers Arr
continually dragged to the light. Ar
intelligent republic, where provision il
made for the education Of all its citizens
is the strongest and most virtuous of al
forms Of governments. We doubt moi
that under the reign of Victoria there
has been more fraud and dishonesty on
the part of public officers than there has
been in our Government since the days
of Washington.

remarkable evidence on this poiut
70 the Ediors Of the $. Z Evening Post
A few days before the late riot the
bark j. ]. Philbrick arrived In our har-
Dor from the coast of Africa and direct
from Liberia. Her cargo was palm oil.
with small lots of sugar and coffee
On this vessel came IS passenger G. l..
dc Rendani, q successful merchant from
Bassa county, Liberia. The object of
his visit to our city was 20 purchase =
ship snd cargo Of goods, and take with
him on bis return a company of frse
ool0red emigrants, for which purpose
hO brought ample mea and credits
He at once applied 10 the New York
State Colonization Society to furnish EN-
igrants for hts vessel, and on Tuesday
morning, lath July, went TO the Socie-
TVS Office for information, and TO see
shout the needful papers for transfer of
the vessel he proposed 10 purchase. On
his return down town he YVES taken from
tho cara by rioters, dreadfully beaten
and with difficulty rescued by the po-
lice, and by them detained for three
days, when by the Boston steam line he
escaped from confinement and peril.
Mr.. do Rendanni was a native Of
Dutch Guiana, educated at Amsterdam,
Holland, and by his talsnts and indus
try has in less than ten years become
n Of the first merchants on the Coast
wealthy and respected. All who know
him esteem him as an urbane and re-
maVkably intelligent maa.
What was his crime? What had he

The dispatches of yesterday relative
70 our affairs with Great Britain looked
somewhat ominous Of trouble. AWash-
ington dispatch to the N. Y. Herald says
that Lord Russell has been advised that
our Government will no longer quietly
permit privateers TO be fitted ont for the
use OF the rebels, as heretofore, TO prey
upon our commerce II this he persisted
In, our vessels will capture such privA-
teers in British ports. We hope that the
British Government will put a stop TO the
fragrant violation of international law
and of public faith, which it has hitherto
been guilty of, in allowing rebel pirates
and marauders TO build and arm and man
vessels under its protection. 1t cannot,
ought not, and certainly will moi, be
tolerated any longer. Such conduct on
the part Of Great Britain is infamous and
cowArdly. Bitterly as the aristOcracy
and traders of England hate this coun-
try, they can hardly afford to provoke it
to a war. Certainly Great Britain could
not hope TO do us one-tenth the injury
we could infict upon her. A war so I'M
generously and bAssly forced upon US by
that Government, without a shadow Of
proyocatioD, would call forth a martial
spirit and an enthusiastic and fiery pa
triotism, compared with which all pre-
vious manifestations would seem spirit
less and tame,
