A great government cannot afford to do
small things yet that does not prevent
It's doing them sometimes. The telegraph
informs us that the British Ministry have
refused to let Mr.. James Haggerty act as
Consul of the United States for Glasgow,
CHS native city. Mr.. Haggerty is young
man OF spotless reputation and ample ca
pacity, and the only charge against him is
that he was Fenian-the fact being that
he made speeches, some years since, at two
or three Fenian meetings in this vicinity
We presume Glasgow has made up her
mind to do without o. S. Consul for a
year or two. Neu York Tribune.
