Ther had grown weary of kicking against the pricka, and yearued for a "really effective voice in the Management of their, affairs, external and

They also asked for "perfect freedom of debats for the Official Members, with power to vote according to their con- scientious convictions without being called to account or endangered in their positions by their votes." For very convincing reasons, which there is no present' occasion to recapitulate, the petition was refused. We need only quote the auswer relating to official speeches and votes. "Only one answer can be given to it," replied Lord RIPON, the Secretary of State, and that was that the paid servants of the Government cannot be left free to oppose the Government. I should be surprised to learn that the Officials themselves wished to

Then what, we ask again, does this letter of the COLONIAL SECRETARY to the Sanitary Board import? Does it mean that the public officers who are members of the Board are free to vote as they please on any matters that come before them? If it does, it is a very thin sop for a hungry Cerberus.
