Disraeli's ProRramme tiaouicid from
me 'I'liroae.
The London Post, of Aw?. 4th, says: "The
lanpuatre which Mr. Disraeli put mto the mouth
t his Sovereign when proroguing Parliament
dispelB all doubt us to the line wh'ch will be
taken by that minister and his supporters at the
forthcoming elections. The cry will bo not
merely 'Tbe Church is in dmi?pr,' but 'Civil
and relleious liberty are in danger.' In other
words, Mr. Diraell will solicit the support of
the new as well as ot the old consliiueuey on
the faith of the assurance that if the policy of
the leader of the Liberal purty Is persisted In,
all that an Eupllshinau holds dear will be in
evitably EacrittL-ed. As a piece ot electioneer
ing tactics most pon-ons feel inclined to con
demn, as unworthv of Mr. Disraeli's
astuteness and ability, so barefaced
aD attempt, and even those who mi'tht other
wise be predisposed to endorse the policy of the
conservative chieftain will find themselves
compelled to condemn a minister who has for a
tecoud lime in tbe course of a few months
during which he has occupied the post of First
Lord of the Treasury, placed his sovereign in
the van of the battle, and sought to concentrate
upon her the odium which he knew would not
tail to be excited by bis doubtful tactics. Too
public have tot forgotten the account which
the Prime Minister kuvc of his famous interview
with her Majesty at Osborne alter tbe deleatof
tbe Governaent in the Uiso of Commons on
Mr, Gladstone's Irish Church resolutions.
Kc,o el Jitx w.fws' was ac irately if not
deliberately paraphrased, while at t'no
same time Mr. Disraeli, by offering two
courses for her majesty's adoption, sought to
throw upon her the responsibility of baviug
reta'ted her then advisers in her confidence.
What really passed at thit celebrated interview
"will probably never be accurately known. Mr.
Disraeli told the House of Commons that her
Jlajesty had empowered him to dissolve Parlia
ment, und that he would do so as soon as tne
necci-fary business of the Ecsion would be dis
posed of. But he did not say what course he
would pursue in the event of any obstacle being
thrown in the way of completing the very con
siderable mass of business which then remained
to be disposed of. He did not say what he would
do if supplies were stopped, or if the Irish or
Fcotch Keform bills were not pasted. In the
Houte of Lords tbe Duke ot Kicbraond was
more explicit, and quietly stated that it de
fended on Parliament whether the old or tbe
new constituency was appealed to. Meanwhile
das parsed Into weeks, and the end of the
Ef ts on approached. The buttle of the Irish
Church was foueht over and over asain in the
House of Commons, aud the materials gathered
on which the Government were to base their
nppeal to tbe country. Ihe speeches made from
tbe Treisury bench were addressed rather to
the country than to the House of Commons, and
now, at the prorogation, toat spirit which in
spired them has once more made uself manifest
iu the speech from tho throne."
Vhi Great Reform Experiment.
Tbe London Telegrophol Aug i says: "The
country is about to make a great exrieriraeut.
The effect ot the reform legislation or tbe last
tvo sessions Is to chaatre the constituencies of
the United Kingdom and to put tbe supreme
governing power into new bauds; and, although
the exteut of the change is at present very
much a matter of conjecture, enough is known
to sTamp the political revolution as greater than
any which tbe present generation has witnessed.
The Kulorm act ot 1832 was essentially a mea
sure ot middle-class enirnnchisemcnt. It
created, for the nrst time, a unilarm property
qualitieutiou in borough!), and gave a predomi
nating power to the teu pound householders
that iH, to a section ot the population interme
diate between ihe highest and the lowest in the
eodal scale. That iu itself was a vast amendment,
but it was by no menus a return to the most
ancient democratic constitution of Eugland.
It is now clear beyond dispute that
in the earliest acres of Parliamentary
Government the suffrage was founded on
the widest possible basis. Until tbe reign of
Henry VI, when the forty shilling freehold
qualification was introduced In counties, we do
not find the slightest trace of any restriction of
household suffrage in eitbr town or country.
For several reasons we may conclude
that for the present tbe extension ot the fran
chise will be less than was generally anticipated
within the first year. We have only just created
a new aud complicated machinery, aud a con
siderable time is required to get it into full
operation. It is therefore true only in a limited
sense that tbe appeal is about to be made to the
new Constituencies. Even it the cumbrous pro
cesses ot tbe Keform act should not be simplitied
and amended berealter -even if the law next
year should be just the s.vno a it is now it is
certain that another registration will be nore
productive than that which is now impending.
Men will be more familiar with their rights,
will understand better how to as-crt them, and
organizations of various kinds will be invented
to assist tbem in enrolling their names. We
really know very little about the constituencies.
Their number and character can ba but vaguely
puefged. Is the residuum excluded iu boroughs?
Will the great clacs of twelve pound home
holders In counties be independent or subject
to territorial inllueuce? These aud many otlier
essential fuels of the problem which is to be
worked out at tbe nevt general election are at
present unkuown quantities, liut, after all, tbe
Ignorance is a matter of degree only. We are
certain that the constituencies are made larger,
tho Jgh how much larger we cannot telL We
see distinctly that the governed and governing
classes are brought nearer together, though
how much nearer is as yet conjectural. About
the tendency and direction of the late reform
there is no uncertainty whatever. It has ren
dered the constitution more iu unison with the
general body of the community that is to say,
rulers and statesmen now become more directly
subject to the observation, criticism, and con
trol of tbe people. As a necessary conequeuce
political leaders of all shades of opinion will
henceforth be compelled to be more distinct lu
their policy aud more emphatic in their utter
ances. The actors in tbe political theatre will
have to speak in the clearer language and to
t illow up their professions with the more em
phatic aud prictija! action required by the
increased numbers and the awakened intelli
gence of the nation."
Citizen Duty.
Tbe Liverpool Mercury of August 3 says:
'Mr. Disraeli lately insulted tbe understandings
aud outraged the consciences of his countrymen
hy declaring that 'the state of Ireland is one
that ought to afford us the utmost congratula
tion' For aught we can tell there may be
minds of 'over-refinement and over-educatlou'
that may not be revolted by this insolent
paradox; but the plain common sense of tuu
common run of Englishmen with beads on
tlitir fcLoulUcrs will lndignuntly reject and
resist the shameless 2c' lot). Ireland Is in a
itate that oupht to i-ause us tbe deepest anxiety,
the most painful sclf-rcprovcb, '.nd the most
eager solicitude to redrew all gnevances which
are capable ot. redress Irelan 1 is at this mo
ment the v, calmest and the danger of the
British enrpire, aod the very first object with
every Eogllsataan not wholly devoid of
political prudenco will be to remove every re
rroT'able source of Irish discontent and d is (iff je
tton. We have confidence in tbe sense of Justice
and fairness which animates the masses of our
countrymen; we have confidence in their politi
cal common sense, and thereioro we believe
that they will pronounce au equitable and
rational verdict on tbe great question wh'ch will
shortly be decided by their suffrages. English
men can understand the duty of doing to others
as they would that others should do to them;
they cau also understand that a divided cuiplro
is weak and a united empire strong, and to un
derstand these two things is to understand the
Irish Church question. We have faith in our
countrymen, and in tho language of last Friday's
rojal speech, we "look with entire confidence
to their proving themselves worthy of the bisrh
privilege with which they have been invested."

FRANCE.
Preparations for tUe Election.
Tbe Paris Presse of Aiicnst 3. savs: 'The
independent press will be unanimous iu do
mandinur the most complete explanations as to
these facts; lor the question is one of extreme
gravity. The point at issue, iu fact, is not to
know whether citizens will be able to exercise
the new right conferred on them by the law
lately voted, but whether a backward step has
not been taken since tbe passing of that mea
sure. What guarsntaes have the people that
they will be able to bold public meetings and
call electoral ones, if they cannot even have
those private assemblies, ou personal invitation,
which were the common right before the new
act, as M. Rouher has recognized and tho Su
preme court Das affirmed by its decrees? The
Erlvilcee which wo possessed was not trifliug;
ut it force and violence cau deprive us of it,
what use can po-sibly be male of the new ones
with which tbe law invests us? if. in the midst
ol an election, private meetings are dissolved by
tbe oavouet, what Prelect will reluse himself
the satislaction of interdicting a public one?"
The vpintone iaaonaie, ot pans, Aug. 3 says:
"Let us establish tho point ot law. Article
eipbt, which declares that electoral meetings
cannot tuke place during the rive days precediug
tne ballot, applies only to public assemblies. As
in tbe preeeLt case persons were only admitted
on presenting a curd or letter ot invitation, the
meeting was a private one, and the Commissary
of Pol ce had no right to be present, and the
armed lorco committed t. violation of donlcile.
If tb;it doctrine is doubted, relerence has only
to be made to a decree of the Court of Cassation,
Criminal Chamber, of the 4'.h of February, 1805.
That body declared that what characterizes es
sentially a public meeting was the liberty ot ad
mission permitted to all comers. Such was not
the case in tbe present instance, as the invita
tions were pereoual. and tbe Central Commisary
could only penetrate into M. Breton's house by
surprise, or bv force with tbe aid of his azents.
Tbe totality ol these facts, th.-refore, constitutes
a double violation of Individual liberty and
privacy of domicile, as well as au electoial
manoeuvre. "
La France, of Paris (Government orgauV
August 3, says: "ltesitanccoatside the law is
always to be regretted, and we may usefully
recall to tbe mind of our readers tho principle
wlncn has entered so deeply into Unp.Ush
hnbits and which lays down the rule that no
mistance may be given in an illegal manner to
steps the legality of which even is contested.
Has the Prelect of tho Garde, in directing the
dispersion of the electors assembled at Niuics,
in the bouse of M. Breton, conformed to the
prescriptions of the law? That is a point which
will bo decided by the competent authority, and
the questiou really merits all atteution Iu pre
secce of an election, for tbe point to be deter
mined is tho preclte lite of demarcation be
tween a private and a public meeting."
Ntpolioa and the General Klecttoa.
The London Times of August 3 says: It is
impossible not to perceive that the Imperial
Government ot France looks forward with as
much uneasiness as our own to the forthcoming
Parliamentary elections, though, happily, for
very different reasons. There is, as we bjlieve,
much ground for regret that the Emperor Na
poleon should be anxious to Identify bis policy
with his dynasty that be should obstinately
insist on confounding what, by the nature of
thiDgs, must needs be perpetually changeable
with that which be naturally wishes to be, and
which ought in reality to be, absolutely immu
table. To whatever causes tbe votes of 1818
end 1851 may have b eu owing, they oueht to
be looked upou as irievocable. The Imperial
Government derogates from its dignity when it
allows itself auy allusion to what are called
the 'Old Parties.' ltepubVcanlsin, liour
bonism, and Oileamsm cannot be di
rectly rr indirectly recognized; they cannot be
looked upon as lawful opposition; they should
never be addressed or mentioned as such. The
Uriflamme or tbe Red flag could only be brought
back into France by a violent revolution, and a
revolutionist, till bo is successful, must always
be dealt with as a public enemy. The Emperor
Napoleon, however, cannot overlook tho fact
tbat not only do anti-Imperialist parties actually
exist, but that, so long as they keep within tbe
law, they have a ricbt to exist; tbat, so long as
they accept the Empire as ait accomplished fact,
they are entitled to oppose Imperialism by all
the means which its own institutions place at
their disposal; that opposition to the Imperial
Government may not only be perfectly consis
tent with alleeiance to the Empire, but may also
lie th best and only means of providing for the
Empire's safety. It is hard to say what ground
there may bo for the rumor tbat the
Imperial Government contemplated a lit le coup
d'etat In the sbspe of an arb trury modification
of the Electoral law; but there can be no doubt
that the .'so-called authorities' are prepared to
take a more active share than they ever did in
tbe impending elections on the grouad that "the
Government is a party in the State, and that it
is its right, no less than its duty, to fight its
own battles by all tho weapons that power
places In its hands, and with as thorough and
uncompromising an energy as may be displayed
by any other party.' Burely there is some con
fusion of language in all this. Whatever may
be said ot tne Imperial Government, tho Em
peror himself takes good care to place h mself
above all parties. So long as his presence at
the bead of aflalrs auswers any of tbe designs of
j'rovideuce, nis lire, ne says, is sure to be
snared: and were Le even to fall, the French
people would not fail, in tbe interest of
public order, to perpetuate tue uovcreiga power
in bis family. The Imperial Dynasty is, there
fore, placed above discussion, and the only ques
tie n is whether or not popular elections or Par
liamentary discussions are to be allowed to
lnflaence fairly the Imperial policy. Tuero
would b3 little objection to letting the Adminis
tration canvass for the Imperial Government, if
they did not too pointedly a Beet the canvass for
the Emperor. The Emperor cannot keeo a
Cabinet, and be bis own Minister, wl bout de
claring the Constitution a pretense, and giving
his Government tbat personal character which
deprives the Opposition ef all legal utterance,
leaves it no room for discrimination betweeu
the Sovereign and bis rub', and )usti9es It in
any leogth of violent hostility against both."

The Paris iloniteur of August 3 promulgates
the bill on this subject lately adopted by the
Chamber, and at tbe same time publishes au

Execution of tba Conspirator Tha Last
Act of tba Btrvlaa Tragedy.
The Belgrade Rfnter's correspondence of J oily
18 says: "The conclusion ot the trial of the
assassins of Piinco Michael has beeu speedily
followed by the execution of the condemned.
Seutecce was prouounced yesterday, and this
morning at G o'clock tho prisoners were exe
cuted. With the exception of Joe Jeremiah,
who was sentenced to live rears' imprisonment,
aud against w hom no proof of complicity in the
assassination was discovered at the trial, all thd
other accused persons who had been arrested,
to the number of fourteen, were condemned 1 1
death. Prince Alexander Karngeorgewich and
bis becretary, Triscjvich, and Philip Stanko
vich, wbo had not been captured, wire sentenced
in default to twenty years' imprisonment. At 6'30
the condemned man left the fortress and pro
ceeded to tho place of execution, which was in a
valley about two miles from the to wn, on the
shore ot tbe Danube. In order to avoid a larsre
croud a report had been circulated tbat the
execution would take place in the evening a',
6 o'clock, whereas it was in tbe morning that
the actual tragedy occurred. Nevertheless,
even at tbat early hour an immense number of
persons were assembled, who occupied the
heights surrounding "The Black Valley,' as the
place ot execution is called. In the valley itself
a long freshly-dug treuch was to be seen, along
the edge ol which !ouiteen posts were erected.
A large body of trrops who were present kept
the crowd at a distance, and formed square
along tbe bauk of tbe Dauube. Precisely at 6
o'clock seven closed carriages arrived from t le
fortress of Belgrade, oat of which the con
demned men stepped, and were conducted by
gendarmes-in front of tbe posts. They were not
ironed, end al oithein preserved a sereDe, almost
cheerful demeanor. The sentence of the court
was first read out to them, during which the
prisoner smoked. At the couclusiou of the
reading Costa RadovauowIUch and bis two
brothers beeped permission to be allowed to ap
proach their brother Paul. This being granted,
thetbiee bro'bers advanced to him and kissel
bis band, be responding in this act of affection
by a fervent kiss upon the lips and forehead of
cochofthem. Then commenced the ptniotvng
of the condemned. Their eyes were bandaged
and their bands bound behind their backs,
while they were fastened to the posts by ropes
round their necks, xney stoon luiue 10. lowing

then advanced wi'h breech-loaders to witniu
six paces of the posts, aud fired upon
tbefkst prisoner in the row (Petkovl 83b), wbo
died instantly. Tbe body w.s then detached
from tbe post, and laid in the trench, and the
same course of procedure was pursued toward
nil tbe rest, wbo were each shot separately. At
the execution of Nenadowitsch a sad catastrophe
happened. One ot the bullets aimed at the con
demned struck the post to which be was fast
ened, and, glancing off, entered the eye of an
officer Lieutenant Ua II Miatowitsch, who was
commanding a compauy of soldiers on the
ground, killing him instantly. The extraordi
nary calmness with which tbe condemned men
met their fate has been a niatW of general
remark. Si ma Nenadowitsch continued sniok
iDg till after his neighbor was dead. Within a
quarter of au hour tbe tiascdy was over, and

The Missouri Republican of Saturday last says:
Thd following letter from the Captain of the
steamer Leul Leoti, recently arrived at Fort
Benton, will be read with much interest:
Lditor Montana .Posf-Lauding at a woodyard
46 miles above Fort Peck, I discoverel the dead
bodies of the proprietors seveu In number-sup-pored
to have beeu killed by tbe Assinaboine
ludians, In retaliation for the murder of two of
their tribe, killed in cold blood, about two
mouths avo, by woodchoppers in that same
vicinity. XLo bodies, of tho whites killed were
horribly mutilated and in a state of decomposi
tion. I buried them as wall as possible under
the circumstances. They had evidently been
surprised. Three of the bodies were out
side ot tbe cabin and lour within. The entire
party came up with me this spring, on
tbe steamer Peninah from St. Louis, and stopped
at tbe point where they met their sad fate, to
cot wood and hunt. Their names were B. Frank
Dowdall, son of J. T. Dowdall, E-q., (flrmof
Dowdall, Page 4 Co.). 8t. Louis; Chirlcs E.
Jones, KlngMree, South Carolina; J. K. L'nei,
Richmond, Va.; F. L. Burton, Lagrange, Ten
nessee; H. Lauble aud H. H. Pennington, of
Philadelphia; and Wm. J. Whitaker, of Wooster,
Ohio. Nothing was found except a tew letters
scattered about the cabin, which I have de
livered to Colonel W. J. Cullen, Superintendent
ol Indian Affairs. I think there aro acquaint
ances ot tbe deceased In Virginia city, who will
confer a favor by sending a full list ot names to
me to Fort Benton, Also, names and residences
of their friends.

ORGANIZED ASSASSINATION.
Tba Rebel General K. W. Rucker An
ntouacaa tba Plot.
From the Memphi Post of Saturday.
Tho speeches of General Forrest and the
leaders of Geueral Pike, threa'.ening every white
Bepublican with assassination, havo been pre
sented in these columns. General E. W. ttuoker,
late of the Kebel army, in a public speech to tho
Young Men's Independent Democratic Club last
evening, announced the bloody organization and
intent of tbe Kebels still more explicitly and
clearly. We have the reports of his speech as
piven by the Kebel inoruing paper, so that it
cannot be said that we exaggerate anything.
Tbe Apptat says:
"Gen. Rucker made a very sensible, business
talk, and said some things which struck the
nail on tbe head exactly. He warned the In
famous scoundrels iu our midst who arc striving
to excite and stir up the evil passions of tho
isrnorant masses and array the neeroes auJ
whites in deadly hostility to each oiher, Inau
gurating a carnival of blood and horror he
warned them that a watch was upon them and
their houses. Hot an action or a word escapes
a sleepless eye one set to preserve the peace if
possible but if it is brokeu, to avenge every
drop of blood that is spilled upon their worth
less carcasses. They hsd better heed the
warning."
The Avalanche reports him as soeaklng as
follows: ''It seemed to be the determination to
precipitate a revolution iu Teuncssee. There is
every indication of it; and there was nothing
which promised anything else. If it be tbe de
termination to precipitate a revolution in our
midst, what is our duty ? It we kick up a war,
it will be called by thd old name of Beoellion.
Submit to everything ? The more vou submit,
the more they will crowd you. You couldn't
dodge it. It will be sure to come. When the
time comes, and you can submit no longer,
your duty will be plain. The white leaders
poiBon the minds of the negroes, who, I am
informed, are drilled every night. This means
mischief. It is enough to startle you and make
you think. Don't blame the negro. Give him
every right. 1 have never been a slaveholder,
and always believed our country would
have been bet'er off without slavery, aud
was a sort of emancipationist. But there
are men inciting tbe negroes in this city
to disorder and trouble; expect to get him into
difficulty, and then run oi to stir up strife In
the North. These men teach to negroes incen
diary acts, and expect to run off. They shall
not cet away. I am no Ku-Klux do not know
anything about them: but it to respect the Con
stitution and to sees: tho enforcement of the
laws, as old John Bell advised, and to vote for
Seymour and Blair meant a Ku-Klux, he was not
aver-e to being considered one. He propoicd
nothing to disturb the peaceful elements of so
ciety. He desired that they should endure while
men could endure. They had a great stake to
play for, and must exeicise all tbe patience of
firm resolute men. But of one thing they
should be resolved, that the inciters of sedition,
tie stimulators of all tbe bad passions of the
ienorant masses, whom they cunningly mani
pulate, shall not succeed in accomplishing their
devilish work, and get out of town. Of this
they may be as well assured as that the sua rises
and sets."

t Governor Brownlow denies the repirt that has
beeu so Industriously circulated coucerulug Irregular

Tbe houds of the ttiale are registered lu tbe Con'.rol

acts coder which they were aopropriated. Tbe oou-
rous attached are all signed by tlia Controller, and
be bonds themselves counters gned by the Secretary
of State, who attaches to them the great seal of tha
Mate, It is, therefore utterly ab.u d lo suppose
that bonds are In circulation not properly signed
and reentered, lndce", they could not be wlthoat
foiglcgthe Controller's sigua'ure to each bond from
40 loCO times, according to the time they mtty hve
lo ran. The parties issuing tbmn would als j have to
forge 1 he nam e of t he secretary ot Wtate to each bond.
Ana yet no Instance bas occurred In which any such
forgery bas been detected. Therefore, this whole
