THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1872.
THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1872. MR. DISRAELI has met with an enthusiastic recep- tion in Manchester, and the warmth of his admirers last night rose very high indeed. Temperate on Monday when he arrived, the heat, as indicated by the political thermometer, was tropical on Tuesday in the Pomona Gardens, and in the Free Trade Hall, a few hours ago, the mercury stood between fever and boiling heat. Certainly, as the Yankees say, the "agony has been well piled up Possibly the popular idea that the money is on the side of the Tories," may have something to do with the result, but the success of the demon- stration is probably due to the fact that the Con- servatives of Lancashire have been well organised and efficiently drilled. Be that as it may, how- ever, the ovation has undeniably been the best of its kind which has taken place since the PREMIER was welcomed by fifty thousand people upon Blaokheath, and we trust that the leader of Her Majesty's Opposition greatly enjoyed it. The speech, last night, as far as it goes, may be accepted as a Tory manifesto and a declaration of policy. It must also be regarded in another light. It was not enough to tell the adulatory thousands that Toryism was in the ascendant, that there was a re-action in its favour, and that the orator himself was the coming man," upon whom the weight of rule would shortly press again, but it was necessary to adopt the practice of Old Bailey special pleaders and abuse the Liberals. This sort of thing Mr. DISRAELI excels in, and con- sequently he made the best of the COLLIER scandal, the Megeera difficulty, the American question, and other matters which, for the most part, the Government have satisfactorily dealt with. But we can pass all that over as something which Liberals were abound to endure under the circumstances. His denunciations will not very much affect the progress of those principles of civil and religious liberty which the author of Coningsby" and" Sybil" once advocated, and which are destined to triumph despite the efforts of the brilliant and versatile leader of the Obstruc- tives. Suddenly endued with magic influence over the hardy Northmen, the political wizard swayed them as he pleased. How it came to pass that, in the very centre of Free Trade and close to the cradle of the Corn Law League, people could be persuaded that the extension of the fran- chise was due to the Tories, or that the squire- archy of the country are more intelligent, patriotic, and energetic than the manufacturers themselves, we cannot tell. This must have been owing to some stage-trick, some occult influence, or care- fully devised illusion. It may be that a Reform Bill was passed during a period in which the Tories held office, but no one knows better than Mr. Dis- RAFELI that the measure was the result of many years' labour on the part of Liberal politicians, and that the lodger franchise, which he introduced to the House in 1859, was absolutely the only novelty which he could claim as having originated with his party. Of the inherent vitality of the Tories, it was only natural that Mr. DISRAELI should speak in emphatic terms, and in alluding to what he called the masculine duties of life, he possibly meant to indicate, by implication, the weakness of Liberalism, as being of a feminine character. If this be so we have the satisfaction of knowing that it has b rought forth almost all the measures, which, being appropriated by the Tories, have given them a nominal claim to consideration as a party. Descending to claptrap, the tirade against the spoliation of churches, and so forth, was of course received with applause. But as the allegation is untrue no good effect can arise to Mr. DISRAELI'S cause, by an appeal ad captandum. vulgus. How- ever, good may arise out of the evil of misrepre- sentation, as the injured are stung into activity by insult. No doubt some partial benefits accrue from the friction of intellect peculiar to political agitation and conflict. Sparks fly from the anvil 'in proportion to the heat of the metal and the force of the blow, and statesmen of Mr. DISRAELI'S class are peculiarly well qualified to produce scintillating effects. Indeed, his at. tractive social gifts, his rare felicity of expression, and the dazzling, rather than virile qualities of mind, as made manifest in a career which ranged from mere dilettante man-about-town life, a companion of D'OUSAY, and leader of fashion, to that of journalist, author, poet, and legislator, have won for him admiration among even staunch op- ponents and disbelievers in his creed. Last night proved to be no exception to the rule. The right hon. gentleman was literally cried to the gods The audience were frantic, and the orator was equal to the occasion. They learned but little after all, and novelty of expression rather than wisdom, for the most part, characterised the speech. Mr. DISRAELI has, of late, inculcated the doctrine of BOLINGBROKE, that mankind to be governed well must be ruled by party. There are others who think with BURKE, that measures are prefer- rable to men. Much may be said on both sides, and it would almost seem impossible to administer the affairs of the country in either their parochial, municipal, or parliamentary action, without the organised agency of party. But with all this in Mr. DISRAELI'S favour, it will be impossible for him to return to power on the old lines," nor will the country be satisfied with a PREMIER who hitherto has been able only to maintain temporary rule by pilfering items of policy from his adver- saries. Clever, daring, astute, Mr. DISRAELI proved, last night, that he had lost none of his tact and ability to set forth commonplaces with infinite grace and skill. The men of Lancashire have en- joyed a great treat. They have witnessed a dis- play of political fireworks on an unusually large scale, and we trust the darkness with which they are about to be enshrouded, upon the withdrawal of the luminous Tory chief, will not cause too sudden a revulsion of feeling, but that they "may calmly reflect upon the dexterous manipulation to which they have been subjected, and after mature deliberation, conclude to return to their old poli- tical love, wiser if sadder men.
THE BALLOT.
THE BALLOT. The eyes of the country are anxiously watching the slow progress of this much-needed measure. Not only is the desire for it raised by the prospect of a not far- distant general election, but also by the continual din and strife and the jealousies and persecutions con- nected with School-board elections. No doubt "the Government contemplates the introduction of the Ballot into these contests at which intimidation, coercion, and all the concurrent evils are none the less rife than at Parliamentary elections. The Minister who con- ducts the Ballot Bill through the House must know that it is the necessary and indispensable complement of his Education Act. News frequently reach us of most dubious proceedings at School Board elections, where the priest and the squire join hands to defeat the efforts of the advocates of a secular or even the now obsolescent unsectarian platform, by means which do anything but reflect honour on those who have made the Bible and Religious Education their present war-cry. There are abundant reasons, we are sorry to say, in many families in Wales, for associating in their minds notices to quit with the votes they recorded at the preceding School Board election.
THE AMERICAN DIFFICULTY.
THE AMERICAN DIFFICULTY. We are informed by telegram that Lord Granville's note has been considered by the Cabinet at Washington As nothing of an unfriendly nature has transpired, and the comments of the American press continue to be favourable, it may reasonably be hoped that a pacific settlement will shortly bo arrived at. Reflecting, as the principal journal.. of the States do, the views of the Government, any expression of opinion is to be received as an indi- cation of the policy of the Cabinet. From their moder- ation we augur nothing but peace, and an ultimate reference of the vexed question, in a modified form, to a competent tribunal.
SHOCKING MURDER AT HACKNEY.
SHOCKING MURDER AT HACKNEY. On Tuesday night, as briefly stated in our tele- graphic news yesterday, a shocking murder was perpe- trated at a house occupied by Mr. Thomas J..)iies, boot and shoe maker, in Great Cumberland-street, Hackney- road. A young man named Charles Stanley, who had just returned from America, was staying at Jones's, when they had a quarrel about a trade strike. High words passed, and Jones ordered Stanley to leave the house. Stanley refused,"and after further altercation Jones drew a revolver. Stanley dared him to use it, and taunted him with cowardice. At last Jones urea three shots and the last bullet took effect in the lower jaw of Stanley. The poor man reeled and fell, and be- fore surgical assistance could arrive he was dead. In- spector Romsey arrested Jones, and having told him that Stanley was dead the accused replied Well, I did not intend to do it, but he provoked me so." He fur- ther added All this arose from my going into a trade dispute." The inspector afterwards searched Jones's house, and found an almost new six-barrelled revolver, some of the barrels of which bad been recently dis- charged. He also found in a safe ;C250 in gold, und a JE5 Bank of England note. The accused was brought up before the magistrates yesterday.
