Lord Btaeonsfsld and Tracy Turn
erelli's Golden Wreath.
THE BOLIVIAN LOAN.
Candidus as Lohengrin at
Her Majeety's.

Turnerelli. whose last fendish plot to entrap tho
aged Premier has just been promptly nipped in the
bud. Tracy Turnerelli. who as a ufthunter has
become established British institution. has for
five long years rendered services to the State which
the State has unfeelingly refused to reward Those
services unlike those rendered by the emf
nent Private Dalzell to his patient fellow country
men, and LORD Beaconsield receives regularly in his
morning mail bag daily letter Of advice from
Tracy Turnerelli. Unfortunately. the correspond
has been very sided. and for long time 1t
abusive. for the forbearance Of .
Turnerelli could not last forever. and. after
three years had passed without look or Q
word from the great Premier, Tracy Turnerelli
reproached him with neglect. Still no answer; but
Tracy's storm of wrath must have gone down into
the ocean Of his respect and reverence for the con-
servative leader. At all events his inventive and
tireless brain devised Peoples Tribute to be
made to the Earl reward for the latters services
The tribute to take the form Of golden laurel
wreath to be paid for by penny subscriptions from
the people.
THE PEOPLES PENCE. tya ss
After months of hard work and canvassing $500
pennies were collected and the wreath bought and
paid for. 1t taken about the country exhibited
at fairs and at the Crystal Palace The newspapers
made the world familiar with the project of the Peo
ples Tribute months ago, and it was arranged that
the presentation should take place in June at the
Crystal Palace. committee of presentation was
appointed and in fact detail had been arranged
to make the occasion u monster demonstration. 1t
only remained for the Premier to set the happy day.
Alas the stony Beaconsfied utterly refused to
cept golden lie did not afford Tracy
Turnerelli the poor boon of his autograph for the
letter Of refusal written by Lord Beaconsfelds
secretary Fn
No. 10 DOWNING STREET WHrrEHALL,l
June lG, 1879.
SIR-Lord Beaconsfeld desires to inform you
that he has received and carefully considered your
letter Of the Sth ins in which you ask him to name
day for the presentation of laurel wreath pro-
cured by the contributions Of upward of fifty thou
sand or the people, which have been collected. ac.
cordng to your statement. with immense labor and
never yet exampled efforts" His lordship has. more
over had before him the correspondence which dur
ing the last years you have addressed to him.
and notices especially your complaints that your
services have received recognition at the hands OF
the leaders Of the party the express
sion of your hope that ''sooner later they will
meet with reward" Although Lord Beaconsheld
would fully appreciate and value spontaneous gift
from his fellow subjects belonging to q class n
which he has taken the warmest interest he
cannot but ieel that being himself intimately con-
nected with honors and rewards he is precluded by
the spirit in which you have previously addressed
him from accepting gift thus originated. and proi-
fered in q manner which he caunot deem satisfac-
tory. I have the honor to be. sir. your obedient
servant. ALGERNON TURNOR.
So Tracy Turnerelli turned over tue correspond
ence to the public. He washes his hands of all
sponsibility for whatever calamity may follow the
noble Earls ungracious REFUSAL and asks all honest
impartial Englishmen. conservative or liberal. to
Judge for themselves. What is to become of the
wreath? Let US hope that 1t may remain at the
Crystal Palace. where it is, a warning to
future Premiers and to the Tracy Turnerels come
afterward.
COLONEL CHURCH THE BOLIVIAN LOAN.
Colonel Church's motion for injunction to
the division of the proceeds of the Bolivian
loan pending appeal to the House of Lords, will
be heard next Friday 1t will be very surprising if
the motion is not denied for there seems not tho
slightest hope OF unbiased decision from the
Lords Justices Of Appeal who recently decided
against Colonel Church. Colonel Church is
American and he must pay the penalty. During
the recent proceedings before the Court Of
Appeals there was not one moment. from the begin
ming to the end that it not perfectly clear that
the decision would be against the American. not
withsanding the law clearly his side aud the
two courts below had decided in his favor. The
Lords Justices wrangled and disputed with Mr.. Ben
jamin. the eminent American lawyer as though they
were attorneys for the opposite side. and the feel

and the others allied with him. and it was for
time doubtful whether they would be able 10 carry
up the House OF Lords. The motion to restrain
the proceeds Of the loan was TO have been made yes
terday, but was adjourned until Friday next Lord
Justice James. however made certain strong obser-
vations which lead to the conclusion that Church.
which will make it well nigh impossible tor him to
prosecute his case.
AN PROTEST.
The Telegraph protests against this new injustice
suggested by Justice James. 1t says:-"Without
giving an opinion on the merits OF the question.
there is impropriety in saying that litgant
who point to two decisions in his favor in diff

But It, in addition to depositing an enormous sum

trammeled by conditions OF unprecedented
character the only result would be to strengthen
the opinion in the United States which has already
been expressed-namely TO create profound dis

English aims or prejudiccs. In other words. 1t 10
