FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1860.
Peers in the Commons.
In Great Britain and Ireland, with a popu
lation of about 28,000,000, there are about
6,600,000 adults, who, in some way, con
tribute to the National Revenue, and, there
fore, ought to have a voice in tho election of
Parliament -men who impose the .taxes. In
the various islands in the British seas—the
Isle of Man, the Hebrides, the Orkneys, and
the Channel Islands—are about 150,009 in
habitants, not ono of whom has any vote at a
Parliamentary Election.
In France, the population is estimated at
6,000,000.. The number of persons qualified
to vote is about 10,000,000. In December,
1848, when the, election of President took
place v 7,859,000, actually voted, and out of
this number as many as 6,434,226 voted for
Louis Napoition. Irt" . December, 1851, (just
after The coup d' 0184) when - a "plebiscite,",
establishing'ufilvematriuffrage, with the name
of boutsNapolotin att`preeldenefox. ten years,
was adopted by. the. beigh people, 8,070,953
votes were given, of which T,439,216 were in
thh affirmative, and 640,787 in the negative.
Finally, in November, 1852, when the French
people were again convoked to accept or re
ject a " Obbialtdo I atikiti* the Empire,
8,095,834 votes were givoil,
wero in fhvor of Napoleop.
The census, of tho,United States shows our
Population to have. been
"28,191,876—5ay, de
ducting the colored population, 20,000,000.,
In 1860, the numbers of white inhabitants bill
probably amoutd: to 80,000,000; , which is close
upon that of Great Britain dnd Ireland. The
number of adults qualified to vote, if universal
suffrage prevailed, would bo about 7,000,000.
But there are restrictions in some States, and
the whole number of qualified voters, in this
Union, probably amounts to 6,600,000.
Universal suffrage in France—almost -the
same In the United States. What is it in co the
old country" ? Out of over 6,000,000 tax
payers in the United Kingdom, who ought to
have votes, only one Million actually possess
that right. Chartism and Parliamentary Re
form have been hard at work to give this right
to the five-sixths of the British population who
aro deprived of it. They complain of taxa
tion without representation. They will carry
their point one day—though the two great po
litical parties in England, the Whigs and the
Tories, will oppose them until ,the strife as
sumes a revolutionary aspect. At present,
property alone gives the voting qualification.
The Reform Bill which Lord John Russell
is to introduce on the 20th of this month, will
bo a compromise measure which will probably
extend the right of voting, by a slight reduc
tion of the qualification, to some three or four
hundred additional persons. But, even with
this extension, only one In six out of all the
male adult population of the United Kingdom
will have votes at the election of members of
Parliament. The transparent object is to
give just as much extension of the sufitage,
and no more, as will silence the present clamor
of the People. Anything like real Parlia
mentary Reform Is not to be expected from the
House of Commons, constituted as It now is.
For, that branch of 'the Legislature by no
moans represents the people—the' Commons
of the United Kingdom. One half its mem
bers are sons or grandions of Poore, or hold
office under the Government. Take the Prime
Minister, for example. Viscount Palmerston
does belong to the Commons or people of Eng
land. He is an Irish peer, who has sat as
member for Tiverton since 1835. Prior to
that, he had been member for the southern di
vision of Ilampshiro, in which his landed
estates chiefly Ile. At the General Election
in 1884, his Lordship was defeated, in his own
county, by a Tory opponent, and was without a
seat in Parliament. He looked 'about, like
Neale), dove, to see where ho could rest his foot.
There We borough In Devonshire called
'-'rtvertest x -wheeo, thanka trabe.cherming blun
ders of the ReforraßM of 1882, some 500 eredtora
send two members to Parliament—Manchester,
with a population of 350,000, and Liverpool,
with nearly 400,000 inhabitants, also returning
only two members. In 1885, ono of the
newly-elected members for Tiverton was a
briefless barrister, named James
. Kennedy, an
out-and-out reformer of the most ultra polities.
Hu was approached on behalf of Lord Palmer.
ston, and the chance being very strong, that
in a few months his Lordship would resume
his office of Foreign Secretary, with the dis
posal of a great deal of patronage, Mr. Ken
nedy resigned his seat, canvassed very strongly
for Palmerston, and succeeded in getting him
elected. In less than four months, the Peel
Ministry were beaten in the House of Com
mons, and Lord Palmerston again became
Foreign Secretary. One of his very first steps
was to provide for Mr. James Kennedy, who,
as a barrister (albeit of the briefless order), was
appointed Judge of the Mixed Commission
at the Havana, with a salary of $24,000
per annum, which he continued to enjoy for
twenty-four years, resigning his office in 1859,
and handsomely pensioned by the British
Government on his retirement. Palmerston
has continued to be elected member for Fiver.
ton ever since 1835. He has no connection
with that borough, which he never visits save
at election time, and not always then, but
every elector in Tiverton who votes for Pal.
merston has one or more relatives provided
for by situations under the Crown. This
Paimerston,'a nobleman, thus is one of the Com
mons' House of Parliament, and, true to his
nobility, does nothing for the People.
Let us take Lord John Russell as another
instance of the mock representation of the
People of England, in the tg Commons' House
&Parliament." He is the son of a Duke, the
brother of a Duke, the son-in-law of an Earl.
At the ago of twenty-one, his father had him
elected member of Parliament for tho borough
of Tavistock, which is family property. Af
terwards, through the same Influence, ho was
elected for the county of Huntingdon ; next
for the borough of Bandon, in Ireland, by the
(g influence" of the Whig Duke of Devonshire,
who had property thorn; then for Devonshire,
where his hither possessed vast estates; after
that, for Stroud, where he got in by an ar
rangement with Colonel Fox, much like that
at Tiferten, between Palmerston and Kenne
dy; and finally for London, where Roth
schild paid the expenses, ($60,000 at least,)
on a promise that Russell would do his best to
admit the Jews into Parliament—which Rus
sell did net accomplish, the concession having
boon made in 1858, under Lord Derby's ad.
ministration. Lord John Russell owes his
standing in Parliament not to his talents,
which are limited—not to his eloquence, for
ho• stutters—but to his noble birth and his
Whig politics. Nobody believes him sincere
with respect to Parliamentary Retbrm. In 1819,
ho refused to vote in support of Sir Francis Bnr
dett's motion for rth inquiry into the general
[state of Parliamentary representation, con
tending « that bitch an inquiry was calculated
to fill the minds of the people with vague and
indefinite alarms." In 1830, he opposed Mr.
O'Connell's motion for universal suffrage. In
1881-32, ho brought forward the Reform Bill,
taking care tg, disfranchiae the Tory pocket
boroughs and preserve those of his own
brother, the Duke of Bedford, and others of
his Whig friends. In 1835, ho took his stand
on the finality of the Reform Bill of 1882,
whence he has been nicknamed Lord John
Finality. In 1843, he held out vague pro
mises of a new Reform Bill, to obtain popu
larity and embarrass Peel, and subsequently
Palmerston ; and in 1860, he—Finality John.-
is to introduce a Reform Bill, which, if he can
help it, certainly will not weaken the ((Influ
ence" of his brother and other Whig arida
crate in certain counties and boroughs.
We might extend these proofs of our asser
tion that the English Commons' House Is a
misnomer. Peers, placemen, aristocrats, and
largo-property owners, who hope yet to gain
the Peerage, mainly constitute It. There is not
one man from the People among the whole
41►~~'lez~ ~~~ ~~
sia hundied and fifty-farm British Members 01
Parliament--even Bright and Cobden are men
of property. Were such a man as the late
Senator Broderick a - candidate in England, he
would not be elected—for 'cc influence " and
bribery would be brought to bear against
him.
Palmerston is a peer, Lord John 'Russell is
a Duke's brother. These, and scores more in
ParLis:neat, belong to the peerage and not to
the people. Their work always is to maintain,
and to extend the power of this Aristocracy.
Were the House of Commons properly con
stituted, no peer nor peer's son sholild have a
scat in it. As the contrary is the fact, let no
one expect that the Palmerston-Russell Re
form Bill will do any real good. It will leave
the bulk of the people without the parliament
aiy suffrage : under its operation, five-sixths
of the male adults of Great Britain and Ire
land will still have no votes.

county, on Friday night. the Sd instant. Mr. R. .7.
Fullerton was robbed of $l2O in bank bille—one of
the denomination 'of 1100, and two of $lO. A
man named A. J. Phillips was accused of the
robbery, and upon being arrested was seen to swal
low the bills. Dr. Pryor was at enee called in and
administered ipeetassuanha, whereupon the bills
were speedily brought to light. Phillips was com
mitted to the Raleighjail to answer the charge of
stealing.—Nacheille (Tenn.) Unton, Feb. 8.
SINGULAR Accroxxv.—Recently a man of the
name of Piper, residing In the upper end of Cum
berland county, met with a serious accident under
the following circumstances: Being afilioted with
frozen feet, he was induced to try gun-powder as
a remedy. Accordingly, he placed a small quantity
of powder on a paper, and placed his feet thereon ;
fire was then applied to the powder, with att idea
that the explosion produced thereby would eitrao t
the frost from his This was twice tried: On
the second trial, a vessel containing a pound Or two
of powder, near at hand, received a portion of the
burning material, and an explaion of the Whole
was the result. Mr. Piper wee seriously blared,
one of Me limbs and other -portions of his; body
being severely burned. The hones was matetially
damaged, and but for the presence of two boys,
the building would in all probability have been
destroyed.
The LADY AND HER MAID.--The Salut Public
of Lyons sayer: " A young widow residing ist this
city lately took into her terries a girl who bad
excellent testimonials. Two days ago, as the l lady
new sitting in the Cleaning-room, the girl entered,
carrying under her arm, like a bundle of linen,
her mistress's little daughter, about three rears
old, with the head formed, and proceeded de
liberately to open one of the windows!. Tlie lady,
astonished at her manner, asked her what she was
going to do with the Child ; to which the !ser
vant, with, the gresitesfuolneee, said that shit was
going to throw it out of the window. On this the
mother jumped up In alarm and rushed forward to
prevent him ; bet the servant being the stronger;
succeeded in opening the window, and would have
accomplished her purpose had not the widow,l, in a
moment of desperation, seized the girl's handiwith
her teeth, and eompelled her to relinqalsh i her
hold. The child was tine saved, but the poor
mailer has been ever sines seriously ill. Thsigirl
has been placed in a lunatic asylum."
OP It Is a curious fact, not generally kn wn,
that New Jersey has a fugitive-slave law o her
own, enacted in 1793, and re - enacted with ill
cellos* In 1836 and 1846. The elavebolde r his
agent tan apply to a common pleas judge, an the
arrest Wilil be, inn 4• by the sheriff, and the queition
of property decided by thresrjedgetc—zda wile
in acoordance with that interpretation of the Fede
rall Constitution which makes the restoratiop of
fugitive slaves the duty of the States. New Jersey
has also a law authorizing a slaveholder to saki his
slaves through the State, and to rube a tempotary‘
residence with them. t
A' gunart A PrAIR.--The Bridgeport Forwereays
that David Craft, of Easton, called Mr. Gebrge
Bassett from his work in the woods, a few rpm
hags since, by forging a lie that his wife was *en
suddenly ill, and had sent forhlm. On reaching a
secluded place, Crafts drew a pistol and told Bas
sett he had got him there to kill him ! fi =lett
seised bold of the pistol, and a struggle emend,
during which it was bargained-that Bassett would
give him, Crafts, twenty-flve dollars, to enable bins
to leave the State, to save his life. D started for
home to get the money, but wisely went for, the
sheriff instead, who arrested Crafts, and had him
bound over; but be obtained bonds, and is again
at large. The cause of the quarrel between the
patties is not explained.
ELOCEIIENT.—The lowa ViiitOr learns the &eta
of an elopement, from which it appears that a
young man and lady arrived at the lowa House on
Saturday week, where they passed as man end
wife until Monday. On that day the father otthe
girl made his appearance bud, after some solicita
tion, persuaded the erring daughter to retuVo
her home, some eight miles from Des Moines. e
young man also took- the backward track, but in
charge of an otßcer. Be bad been-a suitor for her
band, but, not proving acceptable to the parents,
with the assistanoo of a doctor, had administered a
drug to her, under tho Influence of which she Con
eented to elope with him, assuming the oharaCter
of wife. The girl was only fourteen years of age.
EXTRAORDINARY Ciattaxna.—Captain Travis
publishes, in the Memphis papers, a pistol
lenge for $5OO or $l,OOO a side, to be shot as rot.
lows : " With pistols, thirty shots a side, at ten
paces distance ; the target to be shot at, a coplper
cent; my opponent to shoot at deliberate aim, with
the aid of one hand only—string measurement
from centre to centre. I ask that my opponent
shall give me five hit cents out of ,thirty shots ; ;or,
in other words, I will shoot twenty-Ave alias

Senator Colvin, one of, the -ablest of our State
Senators, hal made tho first demonstration in t h e
Legislature in reference to the platform of the ap
proaching Nitional Democratic Convention. His
speech nn Monday took strong ground of adhering
to the Principles enunciated by the Donrention at
Cincinnati, and threw coin word of warning that
the inlaying of any new planks would be attended
by imminent danger. The doctrine et the.apeech

The Bnow-Nothings eunclare to
day; at Binghamton. The Convention* was called
under an injunction of secrecy, but the circular
suggesting it has found its way into print, and is
found to emanate from the leading men of that
organisation in this State. The object is simply so
to organize and combine the Know-Nothing and
old-lino 'Whig element as to make a balance-of
newer party, similar to that which was so sue
c.essfully organised and engineered at the .State
election last fall. From the spirit manifested thug
far, there - is strong ground for belief that Thin third
party will exercise potential intimate in the
coming national contest. Its leaders are men of
great political astuteness, and peasem, in a high
degree, the confidence of those whom they repre
sent.

of this State, in aid of the Masonic Hall and
Asylum Fund, took place at the Academy of
Mule on Monday, and was a complete success.
At the extreme end, opposite the main en
tracte, the words " Sit lux et lux fait," formed
with brilliants jets of gas, hissed forth. Two
bands of music on either side of the house alter
nately " did" the music,. At a little befain mid
night the ceremony of the reception of the Grand
Lodge was performed. The members of the Lodge,
in their varied regattas, marched in, and after
sundry mysterious oonntermarebings and saluta
tions, mingled with the rest of the company. The
occasion was a most delightful one.
