MR. REVERDY JOHNSON ANN TEr
TORIES

1uAlES.
M1. Reyerdy johnson has made another
speech ito q body Of workipgmen in
Ere'ard), in which he has again giren an
ss:ufahcc that everything is lovely be-
tween the Governments Of Great Britsin
and OF the United States. hIr. johnson
has been giving these assurances SEMI
weekly ever slnce he reached Eogland !:
yet, despite their reiterat1on, there il n
growing feeling among ali classes Of
Grea. Britain thst affairs between The
two countries have not progressed In the
least towards satisfactory conclusion.
lie conrse Of Mr. johnson is inexpllca.
o'c 10 many, hut it is open to an ex-
plaratlcn in u way which will add to the
annoyance which all Americans have
1eit concerning his personal concuct, l.
VIII be remembered that the head Of the
English Tories is Earl Derby, AMI that
Lord Stanley, the English Minis er OF
Foreign Affairs, is his son. Between
Lord Stanley and Mr.. johnson there
has tetn d close personal Intimacy
II nlauy years, The latter and bis family
haViIg been the guests Of the former in
Erelsnd during previous visits, and Mr..
Joh1son's elegant house rear Baltimore
hss teen the hGspitable hcnle Of all Eng
lishmcn coming TO America accrtdit,d
by Lcrd Stynlry.
Mr.. Juhnson rcacacd England pend ug
the memorable c2n!est between the rcrv
party, then in power, and the Liberals,
lie liter wrupg from thc lo1mcr the Gu
ttspchlstnent OF numerous body OF
r.w goters, by Whom q DEW Parliament
was 10 be elected. The Tories p1epared
for TIE great fight which vas to decide
u c tate CT hist psr'y, perhaps, forever.
IleY 1nsde the most Of what they dct med
the ptrllous relations be ween the United
States ard EpglaEd, and just on the eve
Ct the eltction they announced that .hev
had settltd all questions between the two
countries upon terms which, while DAY.
II the United States thu fifteen millions
OF dollars claimed 1or the depre "a
liens OF The Alabama and o,her
B11lish-Confederate cruisers, would &C.
cure to British merchants ten times thst
snount of money, lost by them while
trading in and with the Confederate
States during the rebellion; that, in tac;,
tic British engaged in the rebellion we're
to te treat cd as no 10y al American in those
States was 10 be, by having all their
Ii sscs By tie WIT made gnou 10 them.
They used this ex'raordinary protocol, 10
which AIr. Johrson had assentcd, most
' Eo1ously during the canvass; every
Tc1y candidate glorifed the minis ~
which bad so successfully and eloriously
settled all difficulties with the United
Sta'es, and appe4ltd to tho people to
secure the settlement by continuing tue
Tary Ministry in power until they con-
clrotd 'hc settlement. While they were
thus using the protocol as an electioreer-
ifg card Of the strongest character, they
kept Mr. johnson busy making speeches,
N which lie extoled Lord S1anlcy's
sta 'csmanslip, and predicted tbat that
etntleni Il, II let; in cf1ice, would be able
10 establish permanent peace between
the Two countries. In this way the
American Minister was used by the
Ieries as their auxllisry to defeat John
Bright and all the men who were our
f1ierds during the rebellion. Notwith-
standing the 6tanley,J Johnson alliance,
the Tories have been beaten, and alrcady
the anti.Libenat press Of England are
st bu'ing tho probable defeat OF the
plotceol 1c Lord S.arley's enforced alb.
seIce fIcm The Foreign Office. Dies not
this explain Johnsou's extraordinary
Utilization with TIE Torres and the Eaglish
I,1rlLcrs of The rebel p;rAtess
