INDIAN AFFAIRS.

CHARGES OF SEDITION. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. (Received September 21, 7.20 a.m.) BOMBAY, 26th September. Avnbinda Ghoge (editor of tho Indian paper Bands Malai.un) and the manager of tho paper were acquitted, cm technical grounds, of charges of sedition. The printer was eenteuced to three Examples of the wild talk of the Hindu press are given by the Englishman. A few extracts may be taken as typical of tho rest : — 1. Where is Hell on Eaith!— The Fcringhis' dominions. 2. The Feringhi has got a fright. The ruiyat in the Punjab has become infuriated, the frepo^s .ore shaky in their allegiance, and that is why, like cowards, the Feringhis have superseded the courts I of lav/ aand begun committing opptes- ; gion. Lot the dmni first sound from j Calcutta and may it re-echo from all • India.! J 3. Arise, awake, the flame has caught i on. Brethren, non- it has begun. The • house has caught fire, sleep no more, j ariso, awake. You .suppose that happi- ! ness and peace are reigning over the j country, and that with a few voting j rights all your grievances it ill close. That ; is not so. Your hearths and homes are i S°J n g to be ruined. Ivothing will avail, ! unless, maddened, you take a resolute ] stand. It has become necessary now to i come to an understanding- with the FerinI ghi. There tire few nations on earth so ! baibarous as the Feringhis. A boycott i of the Foringhi, this should be a- guiding principle now. Try ; if the Feringhi is not brought to his kixxs then, and if the Feringhis resist tlio carrying to completion of this vow to boycott, then they xrill be destroyed in the very flame j which they have lighted up in the country. 1. We want complete independence. The country cannot prosper so long as the veriest shred of Llie Feringhis' supremacy over it is left. Fie on tho idea, that the ' Feringhi!* are to Temain our j masters for ever ' A stranger has entered I into our homes. Il<> must,' he put out of j it, or kept only at. a servant or as a i guest. This is i.ho aim of tho new party. 5. Be not afraid. Not very many listened for the young Mazzini on the day when, wounded to" his heart's core by tho sufferings and poverty of Italy, he firmly resolved to free his country from its bondage. But to-day Italy has oxpiated her own sin, and has washed away j in human blood ttfo blackness of her | stigma. Oh ye sons of Bengal, worship- j pers of Satkf (Kali, tho Uoddess of Destruction), will you bo avcrsn from that? j Under the strew of plaguo and famine i lakhs upon lakhs of people are dying every j year in tho country. And yet arc cob ten thousand sons of Bengal prepared to embraces d'sath to avenge the humiliation, of their fatherland? Thn number of Englishmen in the ontire country is not more than a lakh and a half. And what is the number of English officials in each district? With a firm resolve you can bring English rulo to" an end in a single day. Begin yielding up a lifo after taking a life. Dedicate your Hfo as an offering at tho temple of liberty. Without bloodshed the worship of the goddess will not be aeco-.nplislied. 6. Many wish to know how many firearms have been collected. It is not very difficult to collect arms. A bomb is being prepared of a kind which will lcvolutioniso tho modern style of warfare. . . . This bomb is also very cheap, and all can cany it about in their nands or pockets. 7. People aro soundly thrashing a Feringhi whenever they aro coming across, one. And here, whenever a Foringhi is. seen, the. boys throw brickbats at him as they get th» opportunity. And thrashing the Euiopean soldier is continuing. The Feringhis also are petting thrashed. To what pass have they come !
