THE MISSION To ENGLAND.

Some years ago a sensationalist start
ed a report that the Rev. Eleazer Will
liams, a missionary among the Choc
taws, was a banished Dauphin, and the
legitimate heirt to the very uncomiorta-
BILE seat occupied by the "Citizen
King" and the question became COM
mon and ridiculous: "Have we a
Bourbon among us p"
In view of the appointment of a Min
lister to the Court Of England. and the
name mentioned in that connection,
we may we'll ask: "Have we a States
man among us ?" for If u one of our
foreign missions demand q statesman
Tor than another, 1t is that to the
Court of st. James; and to set up a
mere political aspirant as the successor
Of such men as Richard Rush, Daniel
Webster, George NJ. Dallas, James Blu
chAnan, Abbott Lawrence, Joseph Il.
Ingersoll, and a host Of others as we'll
known, talented and highly bred-x
second-class village lawyer, Is strain
ing q point which communism would
hardly indorse. The Old World sees
enough Of snobbery among the tour
lists who swarm abroad yearly, demor-
alizing servants by needless gratuities,
and defacing monuments by chipping
and carving, without sending one of
the same sort to be laughed at In at
tenn pts to ape the manners of Courts,
and above all others that of England.
Wayne McVeigh, whose name is
prominently before the country as the
probable nominee, is the s~on-in-law of
Simon Cameron, and brother-in law OF
the late Don., . native of the Quake r
village Of Westchester, eighteen
miles from Philadelphia. He is
. small, insignificant man, but pos
sosses one trait not found among the
Camerons-he is q gentleman and an
honest man, but possesses no talent
beyond mediocrity. His prestige comes
as bis wife's dowery-a beetle-browed,
quiet woman, who will never shine as
a beauty among the high bred women
OF England. She has been at the Court
of st. Petersburg, however, when the
old man was pensioned off with that
mission to make room for Stanton in
the War Office. Mr.. Mcveigh will be
remembered a. a member of the Lou
isiana Commission, and for his spirited
tilt with "Bugle eyed" Butler. Mr..
McVeigb, We repeat, Is an upright
gentleman, but not the man for such a
mission, while a thousand men of the
first standing in politics, letters, and
birth, who would adorn the post, are
at the disposal of the Executive. and
deserve the recognition which such a
place would give. But political wires

An important and exciting debate is to

LONDON, October "a.
General Grant aud party left Char
ing Cross this morning, en- route to
Paris.
The Liberals will probably com bine
with the advanced Liberals in fridays
debate. to ask Tor a definite explana
ton of b present extraordinary state
Of things. II is felt that the Cabinet il
\ less uniform body han is desirable,
and that Parliament might as well be
vouchsafed some communication re.
specting The intention Of the Premier.
There ran be little doubt hat Bis
mark is dissatisfied with the free trade
and direct taxation policy pursued by
two OF his colleagues, and that he
thinks that the Ministry of Commerce
might have done something to shorten
the unparalleled duration of the stagns-
ton Of trade. The right wing OF the
moderate Liberals. though they have
cordially co-operated with the existing
Government in bringing about the
present state of things, ars prepared to
adopt a different policy. and take the
line recommended by the Premier.
The opinion begins to prevail among
moderate Liberals hat the country
has not capital enough for the mantle
nance of free trade principles, and that
the e would not have fallen off
so seriously had not indirect taxation
been abandoned.

WAsnINaroN. Oct. a.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a.
Spofford, before the Privileges and
Elections Committee to-day, argued
that according Il the Constitution OF
Louisiana, the Returning Board has
nothing whatever to do with the ques-
lion of who are elected Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, and as Louis
lana law requires all election returns
to be delivered to the Secretary Of State.
and not to the Returning Board, he
claimed his seat on these grounds.
Spofford's speech to day occupied
two hours. Shellabarger followed.
speaking an hour in behalf of Kellogg.
1t was rumored last night that Sec.
rotary Sherman had or would resign.
We had a short talk with General
Sherman in the afternoon, but the
General protested to know nothing OF
the matter. The report is not anthem

Curiosities of Crime.

The st. Louis Republican has pub
lished n story from the lips of C. ID.
Hildenbrand, a convict recently re-
leased from the prison at Jacksonville.
It was received by him from a fellow
criminal named "Hawkeye," alias
Raleigh Bill" who recited it on his
deathbed. His first crime was the
killing of a man in Charleston, in 1850.
Two years later he committed murder
and arson in Milledgeville. In 1854 he
killed a man in New Orleans. In 1853
he was in st. Louis, working with some
confederates with whom he quarrelled,
and as one of them knew all about the
New Orleans homicide he was very anx-
ious about his own safety. One night
he saw them exceedingly drunk, and
Hawkeye met them as they were going
to the Pacific Hotel. where they were
stopping. As they staggered along he
Swallowed them and conceived the idea
Of burning the hotel and them too.

fallen asleep he attempted to force an
