ILL ftAAN0 tE 4aNU1AHu.
The continued inquiry into the Norwich
Gng.) election reveals an. amount of petty
bribery that could not be paralle1ed in the
worst wards Of the worst cities in the Ameri-
can Union. Every inn-keeper in Norwich
might have tuthfuuy altered his sign to
Beer, ale, liquors, and votes for sale here
The only question seems to have been about
the cash or alcoholic value Of each vote. The
fact that it was for sale was safely assumed
A Commission is now sitting in Norwich and
Investigating the ways and means of the last
election. Its sessions are attended by num-
bers of persons, and the testimony-which
is all one way, and that bad way
-el;cits continual laughter. The YER
batim reports TEEN with brackets In
closing hilarious words" laughter" tsgen-
eral hilarity," ia laugh" "smies," ETC.
The facts which amuse the Norwich mind are
all Of kind. One sa1oon-keeper ingenuous1y
confessed that he had been paid los. I'd. by
not used, and that he had voted the Liberal
ticket. While this was favorite device, the
bulk OF the electors were bribed in an even
more direct way. They we're engaged as
messengers" Ono British yeoman testified
that he had been hired BY the Liberals as
messenger for 3s. Cd. per day. This was-of
course-immediately before the election. In
this capacity he did two things He carried
q letter to one tavern and went to another to
get free drink. That was ali. Strange to
say, after taking this bribefrom the Ibera1s,
he voted the Conservative ticket. The only
possible explanation seems to be that he
initiated another citizen Of Norwich, who was
paid IS. Cd. by the Liberals and IS. by the
Conservatives for the same days work st do
ing nothing, and who naturally voted the
four-shilling ticket Besides messengers
both parties employed "watchers." One OF
the Liberal watchers was a boot-and-shoe-
maker. He reported, few hours after his
engagement, that he had watched one public
house and seen nothing, but that he WAS for
tunate enough, by peeping through hole in
the back OF another inn, to discover the
landlords wife sitting on the landlords knee.
This thrilling political intelligence was
promptly paid for. Tha Ehoeuaakar.spy r.

ANNEXATION OF NEW GUINEA.

EAIIy III Ln6 s11Leent1 century the 1OItu-
guese discovered the Island Of Papua, and
named it New Guinea On account Of the Etrik-
ing resemblance of its inhabitants to those Of
Guinea, in Africa. The island itself is prob
ably the largest in the world, provided Aus
trnlia is counted as continent. Borneo has
hitherto claimed superiority in size, but
New Guinea is generally admitted to excel it.
Not long ago the authorities Of New South
Wales petitioned England to annex Papua
The idea has been received with the greatest
favor throughout Australasia much SO, in
fact, that every colony on that continent is
understood to demand annexation The
main reason alleged for this desire is
the fear that some foreign Power Will
seize New Guinea, unless England does 50.
This seems rather fanciful, however, in view
Of the fact that the deadly climate Of the
island has driven out the only nation-the
Dutch-which ever gained a foothold on
Papuan soil. The only danger would be
that Of German colonization, and Germany
has never shown any inclination to surround
herself with distant dependencies. BIS
a1AncK seems to agree with CoBDEs's sweep
ing statement in Parliament: You call the
colonies England's strength; they are En-
glands weakness" The real reason for
Australian unani1nity in demanding the an
nexation Of the island is probably the wish to
have New Guinea member Of the feder-
ated republic that will ultimately, and
perhaps ere long, be formed of the different
British colonies in that part Of the world
New Guinea YVES once part Of Australia
The sea has washed away the isthmus that
stretched between them What God hath
put asunder physically, man now proposes to
join together politically.
Annexation is almost certain. England
is always half-ready to seize any stray
island, and hes in this case the strong
impulse Of colonial sentiment. The seizure
itself is matter of course. The Dutch
have abandoned their forts, though they
claim a shadowy sovereignty over a part
Of the island, and have trading stations there.
The natives-a strong, healthy, temperate
offer no resistance to the appliances
for murder and robbery in the hands Of
every civilized nation. If the dispatch
is ever written in Downing street, Annex
New Guinea the thing will be done.
Whether the miasma that slaughtered the
Hollanders will spare the English, remains to
be seen. If Great Britain can only use the
island as graveyard, its value will not be
It's trade, however, can be greatly
developed It produces quantities Of spices,
tortoise-shel1, sugar, tobacco, and rice, and is
said to be capable Of producing good cotton.
The possible profits will lure England on to
She will see guineas in New
Guinea, and that British drum-beat that circles
he world has one mutled refrain-ss Pounds,
shillings, pence pence, shillings, pounds"
