A characteristic little bit of Eng lish modesty is the remonstrance lately addressed by Lord Granville to the French government on the de portation of French criminals to New Caledonia. The British foreign min ister pointed out to Jules Ferry, in eloquent language, the iniquity of filling up a new country with the criminals of an old one, and urged the moral equity of France at once abandoning the practice. France since 185i has used New Caledonia as a penal settlement, precisely aa England used Australia till a few years ago. In point of fact, England was the inventor of the system of penal settlements abroad for her overflowing criminal population, and until lately English philanthropists were not a little proud of the inveru tion. To extend the domain of the empire by the agency of its convicted felons was looted on as a masterpiece of policy as well as humanity, so long as England had a monopoly of the practice. The iniquity of filling virgin land with a population of moral lepers whose only claim to its possession was their crimes against society was never felt, so long as the moral lepers in question were English subjects. When other nations, however, began to enter on the same course, and France took possession of New Caledo nia as a penal colony, a lively feeling of distrust in the system sprang up in England. "Until then convict colonization was looked on as identical with the spread of the Brit ish empire, and consequently was spoken of as one of the triumphs of modern civilizaton. In fact, the gov ernment was intensely anxious to ex tend it to other lands where British civilization was as jet but inade quately represented, and where an element in sympathy with its institu tions might be built up by the impor tation of British jail-birds. An at tempt was made in that direction at the cape of Good Hope, in 1850; and when the Dutoh inhabitants revolted against the scheme and boycotted tho convicts and their keepers alike, the London press was loud in its denun ciation of their inhuman conduct. The threat of revolt on the part of the South African population was, however, too significant to be slight ed, and the convict settlers were borne away to the more congenial chores of Tasmania, where they no doubt helped to bnild up the existing population of that happy island. Sinoe the French experiment in the Southern Pacific, however, a remark able ohange has oome over the senti ments of England on the convict question. The propriety of dumping the human offscourings of Europe on .foreign shores has been discovered to be very dubious sinoe the off scourings aforesaid have ceased to be exclusively British. Trans portation to New South Wales and Victoria was aban- doned soon after the discovery of gold there. The free emigrants grumbled at convict competition. It seemed odd to them that honest members of society should have to pay two or three hundred dollars for a passage which was furnished at the public expense to convicted burglars and cut-throats and their complaints, like those of the Dutch Boers, as sumed a form which it was not safe to ignore. The transportation of crimi nals was, however, still a cherished practice with the home government West Australia, where the population was small, continued to be a recep tacle of English criminals until with in tho last few years. It will be re membered that several Irish political prLoners effected their escape from it in 1874, and it is only since that time that the practice has been given up by England. The remonstrances of tho other Australian colonies have been mainly instrumental in bringing about the change, which was long resisted by the English ministry. Now, however, that the change has been reluctantly made, it is amusing to see the English ministry coming forward as lecturers on the immoral ity of transporting criminals. It is suggestive of the "wiokedest man in New York" holding forth to a salva tion army gathering, except that the wiokedest man, humbug though he be, has the courage to acknowledge his former career. Lord Granville does nothing" of the kind. He as sumes high moral grounds at once on the whole question, and urges France to consider tho guilt of send- ing her criminals to a place whenco some of them may make their way to Australia to pollute tho morals of the British ex-convicts there. England has been long in the habit of sending lier conviots to Bermuda, which lies considerably nearer to the United States than New Caledonia does to Australia, but no scruples on the subjeot ever entered the heads of her rmlers so long aB the conviots were all their own. To have French com aiunards within two thousand miles of the British colonists in Australia, none-of whom have been convicted less than ten years ago, has, however, proved too muoh for British philan thropy; and so Lord Granville has Mdreased an urgent note to the French government, asking them to ttop thej practice at onoe, and the Australians themselves are calling on the government to aeire on New Guinea, to prevent the arrival of any foreign thieves in their neighbor hood. It is sad to state that the pro verbial diplomatic courtesy of France has been found wanting on this oc casion. Jules Ferry has brutally replied that the disposal of French criminals within French colonies is a matter of domestic policy with which no foreign power has a right, to interfere. A leading London journal dolefully admits that there is more truth than courtesy in the French reply, and naively declares that the English ministry long made the same answer to its own colonies; but that they had to yield to the dan ger of secession, and that France ought to do the same as a matter of moral right The Tichbome claimant has been released from prison on a tioket-of-leave. This country will willingly concede his claim if he will promise not to come over here and hire a hall to air his eloquence on behalf of himself. Six seems to be a cabalistic num ber this year. Each of the names, Blaine, Tilden, Bayard, Butler, Fow ler, Arthur, Sohurz, as well aB the words "Plumed Knight," "tattoo," "Maine" and "barrel," consist of just six letters. What's in a figure? The house has declared in favor of an adjournment on the 30th inst. This action will doubtless be concur red in by the senate, as the boys of both branches of the national legis lature are anxious to set off their firecrackers at home on the Fourth. Kuthebfobd B. Hayes has not en tirely dropped out of the world. He writes tho "answers to correspond ents" in the poultry department of an Ohio agricultural paper. an .Engiisnman nas written a quarto on the danger of yawning. The volume will be read with the deepest interest in congress. A haib-dbessees' convention will soon be held in Chicago. No bald headed delegates will bo admitted. This bars out Butler. The crop of independent voters will be a largo one this year, and the regular parties are wondering what the harvest will bo. The first presidential march has been composed, and the horrors of the campaign are upon our devoted country. DID. In Astoria, June 24, 1884, A. Van Duson in tne via year or nis age. NEW TO-DAY.
