A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF.
The correspondence which has passed between Mr Dibbs and Sir Patrick Jennings has been published. The former begins by a contemptuous reference to the extent to which a Premier can descend, whose administrative tactics and diplomacy for many weeks have been confined to the single object of hunting a colleague out of the Cabinet. He adds he is not disposed to have a concocted resignation forced upon him, and will choose his own time for resigning. Sir P. Jennings, m his reply, informs. Mr Pibbs that he cannot act where and how he pleases and remain a member of the Cabinet simply at his own discretton. The dispute will probably lead to the downfall of the whole Government.
