THE ENGLISH COLOkT.


The English Emigration Association in which
Ton, Hughes, beloved Of all school boys, is chief
mover, is about to become tangible fact.
TIE TRIBUNE gave an account Of this under
taking Il week or two ago. The leaders of the
experiment are now in this country. Land to the
amount OF 100000 acres has been bought in
Tennessee, and laid ont in farms; hotels, nur-
series and fruit orchards have been started
We understand that the intending colonists are
not expected to be of the poorer class but will be
tenant farmers well-to-dO tradesmen, manufac-
tlrcrs and younger sons OF the gentry. Towns are
TO be laid out with grounds reserved for parks,
etc. Nr. Hughes proposes that the colony should
have a motto His object is III every way to bind
them together, give them a sOrt of esprit de
corps, pride in iusifying English pluck and
intelligence, which would stimulate them IN
their work
Perhaps he is right. Nobody ought to un-
derstand human nature, or at least English
nature, better than Mr. Hughes. But We must
hint Il warning against making the colony too
exclusively English either in spirit or IN
material. No matter what help or impetus be
given to these c0lonists at home the hard fact
remains that they have the virgin soil and I'M
broken forest to conquer. Not only that, but
they must begin at the beginning and fight
their way up through difficulties of which the
English tradesman or tenant farmer has known
nothing--under laws, among customs and in
community totally different from those which
they have LETT behind. The sooner they forget
that they are English tradesmen or gentry, and
become simply colOnists and Americans. the
more likely they will be to succeed. There
have been many colonies In the United States
which were ut the beginning exclusively Ger
man, Scotch, Nor yegian, or French, where the
customs prejudices and even language of their
native land were retained. This plan probably
made the colony a more comfortable home for
the first emgrants. But, in every single in
stance, it was only when their children began
to feel themselves to be Americans and to COM
pete with Americans in their own ways and
their own spirit that the colony held its own
among neighboring communities. We advise
Mr. Hughes to look into the history of the
different communistIc settlements if he would
gain a clear idea of the advantages and dan
gers which lie in fostering an exclusive or
even too patriotic a national spirit. The Ger
man Rapplte community is fair example of
both. They had large capital, indomitable in
dustry and perseverance /; they adhered closely
to their National habits and language they
were moral and devout, while their rule of ceb-
acy built Chinese wall of separation between
them and their neighbors. They accumulated
money but that was their only success. Tn
the political, social OF religious world they had
absolutely no place whatever until tho 0nening

appear to be by General Hancock's fault,
though it places him in the embarrassing po-
sitiOn of denying n report circulated by DIS
nearest friend, with the most friendly motive
The course taken 10y his friends in putting
forward the Sherman letter as the only foun-
dation for the story. and demanding that the
public accept it as a satisfactory explanation
Of the affair, only comp'icltes matters by IN
creasing the suspicion that there is something
more behind General Ilancock's own singu-
lar silence on the subject is another Suspicious
feature, and the whole is heightened by the
evident anxiety OF the Democratic press TO
make it appear that this is charge made
by Republicans, when the fact is notorious
that it originated with Democrats, and was
used by them for the purpose of Influencing
the National Convention.
What is the sense then in bringing forward
the Sherman letter, or any letter in fact, 10
prove that he did not take the position which
" Baldyn Smith says he took in 1877 1t
proves nothing whatever except that General
Hancock did discuss the question whether he, as
an officer of the Army, should obey 1iiden'
whom he believed to have been elected, or
Hayes, who was cOnstitut.onally and legally
declared elected. The publication of all his
correspondence on the subject would not
prove anything when compared with his own
direct answer to the question whether there
was any found ltion, and if any, what. for the
report that in 1877 he declared his belief III
1ilden's election and his willingness under
the circumstances rccited above to recognize
him as President and obey his orders. II TINS
were as has been pretended. a charge made
by his political opponents with no substantial
foundation, he might he justified in ignoring
1t ; but it is not IT comes from his own per
sOnal and political friend and has been cred
tied by his supporters. There is only one
manly way to treat it, and that is to state
frankly the facts together with the crcum-
stances ont of which the story grew. Let
General Hancock himself give the public the
truth in the matter. HIS word will not be
doubted. The columns Of The TRIBUNE are
still open to him. But we do not propose to
have all the plati:udos he has written in the
past five years sifted into THE TRIBUNE
through Democratic newspapers. He is OF
age let him speak for himself.

THE TRIBUNE ut the very beginning of the
formation Of associations in this country to
help tmc cause" IN Ireland, after Mr.. Parnell's
visit, urged its sober, Woodworking 1Iish
readers to have nothing to do with them. The
event proves that we were correct Ill our
opinion of them Thus far they have done
nothing in this country but squabble and absorb
money. Every week reports the formation
OF some new society, or tn, breaking up III a
quarrel OF some other one not a month old.
Our foreign dispatches have shown what
they are doing in Ireland. "Suspicious look

Irish, not to emieratc, but to drill OF dark

order to begin a struggle against one of the
most powerful military nations on the globe.
Anything more trasicIl or more pitiably insig
nifcant than the present efforts Of the Fenians
cannot be found in history. OF the justice Of
their cause we have nothing whatever TO say.
English and Irish landlords and land laws may
be as cruel as Parnel asserts. We do not
propose to discuss the question What we do
say is that the only hope or future for the
Irish Fenian is not on Irish soil. There is no
cohesion among his leaders there is neither
military knowledge nor practical knowledge
of the world. There is not now aud there never
was. They are preparing for a great agitation
and possible rebellion by stealing guns and by
urging the people not to pay their rent. the
probable success of "A cause which is forced to
resort 10 such means as this intelligent l1sh
Americans can decide for themselves.
Another point. Under the same land laws
and landlords it is Il fact that the Eish Protest

DESTROYED his brother Of the lower counties.
The difficulty in the way of the Fenian is not
altogether laws or landlords. II lies largely in
himself, in his shiftlessness and ignorance IN the
influences to which he has been accustomed
from birth. The only chance for him is to
change his surroundings. Here he may and
does succeed.
Again we urge Our Irish American readers
to give their money to help their fellow coun-
trymen to emgrate rather than TO drive them

hopeless rebellion.

THE GREAT FRAUD or 1876 CONTINUED.
We have SAID that as soon as the result of
the election of 1876 was foreseen, the Dem
ocratic managers undertook three enterprises
1. TO bride the Canvassers of Louisiana and
Florida to decide that a Returning Board
could not 60 behind the returns, but must
count the fraudulent votes as they stood.
2. To bride the Canvassers of South Caro-
lima to decide that a Returning Board must 90
behind the returns, so that the Hayes electors
could be counted ont on the pretext of irreg-
ularities. 3. To bride one of the Republican
electors in Oregon to join Cronin in setting up
mixed electoral college. These transactions
were managed with a secrecy which would
never have been penetrated but for the un-
yelling of the cipher dispatches and the sub
sequent confession of several of the guilty
operators. The chief agent selected for the
Louisiana affair seems to have been c. w.
Wooley, of Ohio, who is understood to have
had experience in voe-brokerage at the
time of the impeachment of President John
son. To Florida were dispatched Manton
Marble and John i. COyle, and " Oolley after
ward left New-Orleans to join them at ITALIA
hassee South Carolina was intrusted to the
Dractised hands OF smith NJ. w ecd. Oregon
was committed to DR.. George l.. Miller of
Omaha q member of the National Com
mittee, and he sent as his deputy
J. n. II. Patrick. These persons were
supplied with codes of cipher at the Demo
cratic headquarters in this city; various ict-
tious names were assigned them; and three
or four addresses were appointed to which
their kilograms should be sent. the cor
respondence finding its way through these
different channels to Colonel w. Il. Pelton,
who, as Mr.. Tilden's nephew, was recognized
as q sort of acting secretary and confidential
man of affairs at the headquarters of the
Committee.
Very little of the Louisiana correspondence
has been recovered. We are not even certain
how many persons were employed in that
State. Woolley left at an early stage
of the proceedings, and Marble de-
clared that he was "a nuisance and
impeachment, trusted by nobody" The
other chapters, however. In the story of the
attempt at bribery are quite clear. The hmsi-
