AN ILL-MANNERED BRITON.

At recent dinner given in England Mr..
Roebuck was present and also Mr.. johnson,
the American minister. Mr. Roebuck made
a speech in the course of which he took &C.
casion to exhibit good deal of English ami
mostly against this country which, to say the
least of it, was scarcely suited to the proprie-
ties Of the occasion, considering the presence
of the diplomatic representative of the United
States. 1t was not necessary for Mr.. Roe
buck to acknowledge Mr.. Johnson's presence
by rhetorical adulation of the American
eagle, or even by an ornithological disquisition
on that predacious bird of liberty. Courtesy
did not require him to decry his own country
by referring to our government as the best
on the planet" or to provoke invidious COM
PARSONS with the bold Britons who "never
will be slaves" by describing America as
"the land of the free and the home of the
brave" But, on the other hand, without dis
playing a seryile sycophancy, he might have
RETAINED from his fierce onslaught on the
country and the people whose representative
sat by his side. 1t was very bad manners on
Mr.. Roebucks part to substitute violent de-
nunciation for the delicate fattery of the din
ner table, in speaking of the rival country. 1t
would have been better manners for him to
have said nothing at all if he could not say
anything good. De nlortuis Nil nisi bon,Gnl,
which means, we take it, "be civil to the
dead" lis a kindly maxim of great value in
the getting up of tomb-stones and epitaphs.
But abe civil TO the living" especially if they
are dining in your company, and quafing the
rosy wine in response to your toasts, is more
practically advantageous and amiable. Post
prandial compliments may not be worth much
the next day, but they are more congruous

The Jewish Sentinel, q newspaper published in
the interest Of the Jews at st. Louis, says that
some st. Louis people were with Mr. Lincoln
soon after tie appearance of Grants celebrated
order against Jews and other vagabonds." The
Sentinel Gays:
lone Of the st. Louisans expressed the opinion
that Grant had made a mistake in the order !;
instead Of directing IL sgainst Jews as class, he
ought to have directed IL against malefactors OF
all kinds. Mr.. Lincoln remarked that he liked
Grant, for there was a good deal of humor in
him, and drew forth and read Grants letter in
ply to the one Mr.. Lincoln had written TO him,
directing the order to be rescinded. In this letter
Grant said:
"'Mr. President, as you have directed me,
will rescind the order but wish you to dis
tinctly understand that these people are the de-
scendsnts of those who crucihed the Saviour, AMI,
from the specimens have here, the race has not
improved.'n
Here is a sample of Grants liberality
This is the man who is run for the presi-
dency by the party of decency and morality.
His sentiments are those of an age of super
stition and despotism and intolerance; of an
age when men burnt their religious adver-
saries at the stake, and which considered that
TO rob and torture a Jew was to do Heaven a
service. No wonder that this man refused
to exchange prisoners-no wonder he coolly
revived and practiced system which, if car
ried out, would make our modern wars a re-
production of worse than Asiatic barbarity-
when the prisoners life was supposed to be-
long to his captors, to be terminated with the
sword, or spared only for relentless slavery.
That's Grants platform-"Dea to prisoners
and destruction to Jewsl" Like master, like
man-ike party, Ike candidate.

The Hon. Perry Fuller yesterday assumed
the duties of his important Office as collector
of the customs for the port and district of
New Orleans. Mr.. Fuller has appointed as
his deputies Messrs VIM. G. Gray and Fred
erick A. De Wolf. No other changes among
the officers Of the customs have been made.
Mr.. Fuller enters upon his duties with a very
high prestige as an official, and we have no
hesitation in saying that the mercantile COM
munity and the citizens at large of New
Orleans will be pleased with his administra-
ton.

The New York Evening Post accuses Wade
Hampton of being snob because he advised
his fellow-citizens not to employ Radical
negroes, and speaks of certain English noble
men as proud and naughty gentlemen
because they decline to coerce their tenantry
into voting one way or the other at the
approaching election. All of which means
that rho Post 40 violently dOsirous of free
elections, and wants every body to have, a
chance to vote according to his opinions
Why, then, does the Post approve of the sys-
tenn which DISTINGUISHES hundred thousand
men in Tennessee and fifty thousand in Mis-
sour, and which, on deliberate calculation,
refused the right of suffrage to tens of thou
sands throughout the South. in order that its
allies-the "loilists," carpet-baggers and
scalawags-might get control OF the recon-
structed governments Does the Post expect
that the white people are to submit to this
without using every legal effort to counteract
it? If the tenants on Lord RusselIs estates,
or the Duke of Wellington's, announced their
intention to disfranchise their landlords, to
cut them off from all participation in the
government-to exclude them even from the
right of suffrage, in order that particular
party might obtain and keep control of the
government, those amiable and patriotic
noblemen would defend themselves by using
any legal means at their command. If the
employees in the Office of the Post should pro-
claim an intention to disfranchise the pro-
prietors and editors of the paper, how long
would they remain in the Office? Precisely
until their places could be supplied by others,
and no longer. A party which assumes such
an attitude towards the rest of the commu-
especially towards that part which has
always constituted the political body and
which, therefore, expresses the public
opinion of the State-is justly to be
considered as composed of, not
only political, but personal enemies.
The Post may rest assured that the South
ern whites 1oiA adopt this expedient in order
to protect themselves from the insolent au-
dacity, the corruptions and the expressions of
the carpet-bag- scalawag alliance. 1t ill be-
comes Radicals to howl over this species of
moral coercion, adopted solely as a means of
defense, after having deliberately contrived
and consummated the Acknowledgement of
hundreds of thousands of Southern whites
after having thrust the majority under the
heels of the minority-and after having in
hicted military despotism on the people of ten
States for the avowed purpose of keeping
themselves in power.
