The English Home Rule Liberals at Leeds
yesterday did not hold out so much as one
twig from the olive branch of peace to the
Union Liberals. Mr.. Morley declared emphat-
ically that there would be no surrender of the
principles of the Gladstone Home Rule BILL
that self-government for Ireland would be
urged henceforth by the Liberals more
strongly than ever, and that Mr.. Gladstone
was still their leader This seems to shut Lord
Harrington out of the Liberal headquarters for

The rebel brigadiers and their admiring
Democratic followers from the North will feel
happy about one thing when the Lth Congress
meets, for there will probably be no negro
members in the House of representatives to

suspect his opponents of trying to count him
out. Yet both these negro members have borne

Railroad is not an ordinary strike. 1t lies
deeper, aud rests upon the bitter hatred which
the natives, and the Frenchmen connected
with the Canal scheme, feel for Americans; the
natives, because we suppressed the last revo-

for more rigid system of administration on
the railroad, aud the presence OF United
States man-of-war somewhere in the neghbor-
hood, in order to protect the lives and interests
Of American citizens.
The elections being over, the public now
turns attention once more to the Doodle"
Aldermen and the bribe-givers, and respect

the same. McCabe's case comes up this morn

DELAY in locking him up in some asy lum until

the list. and the other rogues at the earliest pos

arrest and indictment Of his fellows are not
enough. Nothing but the punishment OF The
whole gang will satisfy the reputable part of
this outraged community. Nor must Squire
and Flynn's case be overlooked IL Mr.. MARITIME
and his Office assistants arc to keep the credit
they have won.
Judge Peckham got more votes In Newly
