ENGLAND ON THE EVE OF WAR.
LORD DERBY RETIREs FROM THE CABINET.

LORD DERBY RETIRES FROM THE CABINET.
ABOUT $4,000 TROOPS IN THE RESERVES TO DE
CALLED OUT-ALL HOPE OF CONGRESS ABAN-
DONED.
In the House of Lords yesterday afternoon,
Lord Derby announced that he had resigned,
because the Government had decided to call
out the reserves, measure which he did
not deem prudent in the interests of
"peace, nor necessary for the safety of
"the country" Lord Derby said, however, he
did not consider the course of the Government
as necessarily tending to bring about war.
Lord BeacOnsfeld observed that as there was
no hope of rectifying the disturbed balance
of power in the Mediterranean by means OF
q Congress, the Government had resolved to
avail itself of the services OF the re-
serve forces. In the House of Com
mons, the Secretary of State for War said
the first class of the army reserve,
about l3, ZOO strong, and the militia reserve,
which numbers about 25,O0O are to be called
out. More of the reserve forces are also to be
summoned to arms, but the militia will not
be asked to do duty unless the regulars are
sent abroad. In st. Petersburg the hostility
to England is very strong.

the following shy at the President:

We give place in another part of this pa
per to nn elaborate letter from JAMES Ar

Ga for the reason that we had inserted an
anonymous communication on the 18th

reply. We do this as an act Of simple JUS
tice, but with an expression Of regret that
there is such 4 spirit of criminption and re-
elimination eXtant among Republicans in
that State. 1t is an unfortunate political
omen, and in some degree accounts for the
transition of that State from Republican to
Democratic rule. If the Republican ma
iOrity in Georgia had been lOnOt0 ii could
not have been held under Republican CON
troll amid the schsms, jealousics, chickering's
ordinations and rccriminatiOns that have
marked the internal history of the Repub'
lican party during the last five or six years
No party can hope for success so long as il
expends its best ammunition and energies
upOn its own members instead Of upon thu
common foe. The Republicans of Georgia
have quarreled among themselves, and the
Democrats have captured the State. W.
