Lord Brougham’s Insult to Mr. Dal
las.
Is the pointed insult leveled at the
United States by Lord Brougham, at the
Statistical Congress on Monday, to be
made an international question ? No
one could mistake the aim of the re
mark thrown at the head of Mr. Dallas,
when Lord Brougham challenged him
to notic# the presence of a negro. How,
either that fact was presumed to be of
fensive to Mr. Dallas—in which case to
draw attention to it was in itself an of
fence ; or it was not supposed to be of
fensive, and in that case Mr. Dallas was
suddenly and uncourteously called upon
to do penance for the suspected preju
dices of his countrymen. It is dfficult
to reconcile such an act with kindness,
courtesy or decorum. Mr. Dallas atten
ded at the Statistical Congress as the
Representative of the United States;
the aggressor was a member of the
House of Lords—he has been Lord
Chancellor—and the attack was made
before the Prince Consort, who was
Chairman on the occasion. Indeed,
the attention of his Royal Highness was
specifically drawn to the outrage by the
person who was the immediate subject
of Lord Brougham ’spredicate; the gen
tleman in black asked especial permis
sion of the royal Chairman to thank
Lord Brougham. All circumstances,
therefore, are of a kind that would jus
tify the Government of the United
States in demanding a formal urology,
cither from Lord Brougham, for his
wanton escapade, or from the presiding
authorities of the arena in which the
outrage was pei petrated. The authori
ties are the more bound to take some
notice of the occurrence, sinco we are
inclined to suppose that Mr. Dallas at
tended the Congress by invitation. If
so, he accepted the invitation to re
ceive the treatment which we have de
scribed.—From the London Chronicle July
18.
A Secret for One Hundred Years.—
The Treasurer of Amherst College fans
lately received from Mr. David Sears,
of Boston, a heretofore liberal benefac
tor of the College, a small and carefully
sealed box. with the instruction that it
is not to be opened for one hundred
years, on pain of a forfeiture of a gift
which it contains. Speculation is'at
fault as to the contents and the reasons
for the accompanying condition. The
shrewdest guess is that the box holds
deeds of real estate in Boston, now
under lease for one hundred years, but
then to bo transferred to the College.—
But let us be patient till 1900, and then
we shall all know, says the Springfield
Republican.
