The opponents of the Jamaica COMMITTEE nave
caught Tartar this week. Mr.. Huxley having
joined the Committee, writer in The Pail MAI
Gazette ingenously suggested that it was probably
owing 10 " his peculiar views on the Development oil
species" Whereupon the Professor writes TO explain
that il is neither in consequence of these views, nor
for any particular love for or admiration Of the negro,
that he has been led TO Join the Committee, but be-
cause be has understood that English law does not
permit good persons SUCH 20 strange bad persons
a. SUCH" and calling attention 10 the fact that the
Royal Commissioners have reported the evidence TO
be wholly insufficient 10 establish the charge upon
which Mr. Gordon was tried, and that they can see
no proof either of his completely in the Outbreak ut
Morant Bay, or Of his having been party to gen
eral conspiracy against the Government. The Pro-
fes,or concludes: Il entertain so deeply-roOted an
objection TO this method Of killing people-the act
itself appears to me so fnghtful precedent-that
desire 10 see il stigmatzed by the highest authority o.
q crime" This is the case of the Committee IN
nutshell and probably after the first experiment, the
other side will content themselves with accommodating
funds and beware of canvsssDg the motives OF those
who Join in insisting that neither Wing nor Iory
Governments shall be allowed to decide whether such
deeds a. those done last year in Jamaica shall be
taken out Of tho cognHance of English law.
