AND RAILWAYS.
lFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE
LONDON Sept 9-The case against Mr. Reverdy
johnson is stronger than stated it. All that knew
of the relations between him and Mr.. ROebuck
learned from the newspaper reports of their speeches
at Sheffield Mr. Roebuck has now written letter
which lets us little further into the secret OF the
billing and cOOing that went on between these old
gentlemen. The language of Mr.. Roebucks speech,
which seemed TO every body else gross insult to
America did not, says Mr.. Roebuck, offend the
American Minister. He has the best authority for
saving that it did not, and Mr.. Roebuck proceeds to
say of Mr.. johnson:
In fact he given every assurance that he felt
greatly pleased by all that had happened since his arrival
here 10 myself personally he used expressions C END
nessand friendship which touched rery nearly which
/ shall ever remember but which need not repeat"
Consider who Mr. Roebuck is and who Mr.. Reyerdy
johnson is Remember the yells of exultation with
which Mr.. Roebuck welcomed the news of Rebel
victories Recall his description a public speech
of the Northern peOple-or the Northern army, 1t
matters not which-as the refuse and scum of Eu-
rope' Bear in mind that he has never in word OF
deed shown sign OF regret OF repentance but
that since the war. during the war, he has pro-
claimed on every occasion his hatred OF America ana
grief that the Union not broken In pieces
Then saw whether this is the man whom the Ameri-
can Minister ought to be hObnobbing with ON his
first appearance at public dinner saluting as his
friend and using expressions of kindness and
friendship which touched me very nearly" Is 1T q
measure of conciliation on the part of Mr. Reverdy
johnson to neglect the friends and court the enemies
of his countryi Is it diplomatic Is it decentF
The protest which the English papers make against
Mr. Roebuck's insolence is creditable to them, and
shows their strong desire to neutralize the oense
which America would naturally take From a SINH
lar motive the Liberal papers have refrained from
critcising the conduct of the American Minister
deeply sensible they must have been OF It's mas
cretion and Of the aiT9nt II taGItly oilers 10 tne
whole Liberal party IN England. Be sure IL requires
On their part patience 10 see Mr. johnson throw
himself into the arms of faction which was and is
the known foe of the country he is here to represent
If il shall inspire them with dire disrust Of this new
Ambassador / for one, shall not regret the incident
humiliating as il is to "A loyal American MT John-
son is minister for better worse, I'LL next spring.
and IN is not for me say in England that his record
aurinp the war is stained, and that ms sympathy
with Northern ideas never more than SKIN deep
Rut il our friends find out for themselves as sooner
or later they must, that he is no tt envoy from le
Liberal parry in America TO the Liberal party ih
England shall hope To see the evil influence MI
johnson is sure 10 exercise on bnglsh OPINION 10
some extent controlled. e.. -.
Observe that Punch Of to-day keeps in its quiyer
the arrow il wond naturally let ly against Mr. Roe
buck They are old allies OH the American question,
Punch in its small way hating us not less than noe
buck. -
Nis not improbable that the row will help Roe
buck 10 lose his seat for Sheffield Disllked IN thc
House detcsed by the leaders of the Trades Unions,
who arc despotic in Sheffield attacked by every
English newspaper for his recent VIOLENCE; aban-
aOued even by The jadpendenf OF Shefeld, once his
strongest supporter Mr.. Roebuck is lighting an up
bI battle with diminished resources. IL he WINS at
ALL his msjOIity will be cut down, and his voice VIII
be heard ia the next House with inpatence anu us
trust.
