British Ministorial Election Tvs~
umph. 1870 .-

A British Ministerisi- Election TIA.
umPh.
The electors Of Pontefract, England. voted
for member of Parliament yesterday. Ths
Right Honorable Hugh O. e.. Childers, who
has served as First Lord Of the Admiralty
under MIR. Gladstone, was returned. Mr..
Childers has represented Pontefract since tho
year 1859. His reelection at present wais
contested, but he won the seat by majority
OF eighty votes The news despatch report
does not state the name of his opponent, nor
whether the election was conducted under the
provisions of the Ballot bill This latter point
is quite important. The Ballot bill was signed
by Queen Victoria in the month of July Just
passed. The measure itself provides that it
should come into operation at once, and that
'every election henceforth shall be held under
its provisions" Whether this means single
local or a general election is not very clear
If Mr. Childers has been reelected under the
Ballot bill it is triumph for the Gladstone
Ministry, but one which goes to prove, by the
majority given to Cabinet Minister, that the
voters in the British boroughs possess much
more of franchise power, and much more in
dependence in the exercise of it, than they
did in former years.

Central American Affairs.

From Havana we learn that Honduras has
recently been the scene Of one Of those fire.
quent revolutions so characteristic Of Spanish
American populations. Medineta, after seiz-
ing the foreign vessels, had overcome and de-
posed President Medina and proclaimed him
self President. Sanchez, the lieutenant Of
Medineta, had arrested the President and SUBJ
sequently, after accepting ransom for his life
had sent him to Camayagua for trial. These
proceedings of Sanchez were varied by put
ting General Chamoro TO death and imprison-
ing the Spanish Consul at Omoa which port
he left on the I'd instant. On the 4th General
Osorio arrived and re-established the old
authority. In this brief sketch of revolu-
tion and counter revolution W Lose sight Of
ex-President Medina. On the 14th the
Spanish war steamer Tornado touched at
Omoa and was at once surrounded by
claimants for protection. English, German,
Spanish and American merchants have
suffered terribly from these volcanic move
ments in Honduras politics. John Bull has
large interests in that country, and it is highly
probable, should this state of affairs continue
be may soon consider himself entitled to inter-
fare and place protectorate over this too
rapidly Revolving country. If President Grant
and Secretary Fish could spare little atten-
ton to this subject they would find that the
Monroe doctrine COM 'its the United States 70
taking cognizance of suc.e disefaers among
our neighboring republics, and that "i'an,.es:
destiny" as understood by the puik OF
Americans, requires US to resist any European
interference in the affairs of this Continent.
This is one of the first matters TO which the
President should look. Delay will only COM
plicate the subject by bringing European
governments into it in defiance of our tradi-
tional policy, and with prejudice to the rig hts
Of our merchants.

unsettled and delicate diplomatic condition.
Our news advices from Rio Janeiro are dated
TO the Gath of July. General Mitre' s
special mission, on the part Of the republican
peoples, to His Majesty Dom Pedro had not
been concluded, but the progress Of the ne
gotiations, so far, was without any apparent
friendly result Both Powers were in the
meantime preparing for war--an event which
was regarded as Of very probable occurrence
should Mitre's efforts at reconciliation prove
unsuccessful This intelligence, which was
brought by mail to Lisbon and despatched to

lnticipatory differences of coming trouble
between Brazil and the Banda Oriental, which
have been just lately presented TO the public

| if we would be more selfish we might urge
| government action and expenditure. with O
view to our trade and commercial prospects In
Japan and Asia generally. Though the United
States are separated from that part of the
world by the broad Pacific, the people there
are becoming every year more and more our
neighbors. We have already regular steam
ship communication with them, and the time
of transit is only about twenty days. They
are much nearer to US, both in time
and distance, than to any Of the other
world. They have learned to recognize Us as
their nearest neighbora Trade with them Is
susceptible of almost indefinite expansion.
There is no reason why this country should
not have the largest share of Asiatic commerce.
The tendency is to bring that All we need is
proper appreciation of the value of that
trade and liberal government and CONNER
cial policy to secure it We include in the
scope of our vision the vast Chinese Empire
as well as Japan and the other countries of
Asia. It will not be long before several steam
ship lines may be regularly and prohtably en-
ployed between San Francisco and other ports
on the Pacific and in these Asiatic countries.
Nor will it be many years before telegraph
cables will put rs in instant communication
with them. While we have lost. for time at
least, the best portion Of the steamship bust
ness with Europe, we possess advantages on
the other side of the Continent that can be
used to great profit unless we neglect them.
The empire Of commerce on and across
the Pacific is within our reach
if we seize the opportunities presented. And,
here again, it is in this point of view that we
urge the government as we'll as our merchants
to cultivate the most friendly and intimate re-
lations with Japan first of all, and, finally, with
all the other nations of Asia. Nothing could
do more to this end than the visit of the Mi
kado to the United States. Let the step we
have suggested be taken, and, whether the Mi
kado comes or not cordial invitation from
our government would be appreciated and
have good effect.

1t is evident from the liberal conduct of the
Mikado and the surprising changes he has
made in Japan that he desires above all things
tho improvement and welfare of his people.
Would he not then, leave the United
States with more enlarged views Of lib

Europe? He would go home, probably,
with q determination to initiate as far as prac-
tcable and as consistent with his own position
the principles Of government he would find
operating so well here; A fresh impulse would
be given to the liberal movements in japan.
That ancient and formerly exclusive Empire
would be rapidly advanced in civilization;
and this would prove new era in the re-

hardly be imagined. The visit Of the Mikado
to Europe and the United States. and to the
United States especially, would be, no doubt,
an important step in revolutionizing the Mon

Such an event as the visit of the Mikado. if il

eclipse in its consequences, probably, any

leaving stable government at homo,

history than any Asiatic ruler ever acquired
