THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHIL ADELPHIA, yKDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 18C8. PUBLISHED EVERT AFTERNOON (SUNDAYS KXCKPrKD), AT THE EVKNINQ TELEIRAPH BUILDING, IO. ! 8. THIRD BTRBRT, PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1868. Lord 4 And Common. A boot one-half of the editorial spaoe of all oar English exchanges for the past month has been filled op with oommenta on the reoent Parliamentary election and the new Liberal Cabinet. While these aomments in the main are inspired by the political bias of the par ticular journal, we find in some of the Liberal organs frank and manly aaaanlts on the Eng lish governmental system as a whole. The Pall Mall Gazette confesses that "England Is in many respects one of the worst governed coun tries in Europe;" bat consoles itself immedi ately after with the reflection that these "are by no means the most important respeots, and in soma oases their very defects are the resalt of an exaggerated adherence to principles In themselves sound' Among the more noticeable points whioh we encounter is an undisguised oontempt for the hereditary nobility of the United Kingdom. The power and influence of this class are slowly waning, although they sttl1 maintain the possibility of exercising a con trolling influenoe in the Government by making a bold stand in the House of Lords. In the Parliament which has jast expired, the Lords not only constituted one of the coordinate branches, but, as a class, returned one-third of the Ilouse of Commons in the persons of their sons, nephews, sona-iu-law, and other relatives who had been returned through family influence, while the untitled country squires, who delight to hang about the skirts of the titled aristocracy, swelled the direct numerioal influence of the latter in the lower house to near one-half. The last Reform bill upset a number of the rotten boroughs, and swelled the ranks of the electors considerably in the sound ones; but the result of the recent elections, as shown by a canvaBS of the new Ilouse of Commons, ia but a slight diminution of the strength of the Lords. The Ilouse of Commons now consists of 659 members. Of these full 210 only a round dozen less than in the laat Ilouse are the near relatives of peers, constituting, aa the London Spectator remarks, "almost a third Of the House supposed to have been 'reformed,' and past all question the most powerful single Interest within it." On this subject the Specta tor further says: "No doubt all, or nearly all, these men are freely eleoled by the people, cases like Huluer landsulre and Calue oecuiulug more rare us the Reformers move sleiully to luolr end; but thai only makes I tie power of the peers more re markable, and, so to speak, more real. Lord U. Hamilton Is twice ai Important iu Middle sex a be would be if he were sealed by hi fathers' tenants; for tuouga It la possioie, ai Dumfriesshire lias suowo, io defeat coercion, it is not possible for any Jaw or regulation, to dis sipate the popular reverence for rank." The term "people" in this connection mu3t be taken with a qualification. Although the recent Reform bill swept away many abuses and placed ths franchise iu hands whioh had not wielded it before, suffrage is still a special privilege of the few as distinguished from the masses. In addition to this there is a gross inequality in the comparative sizes of the constituencies, many of them still ranking as thoroughly "rotten boroughs." The largest borough constituency is that of Glasgow, whose 47,000 electors have three members in the Ilouse of Commons. Bat the case of Ilaokney gives a still larger number of elec tors to eaoh member, the latter numbering two only, while the former run up to 40,000. From this proportion one member to 20,000 electors there is to be found almost every conoeivable degree down to the next thing to nothing, whioh is represented by the borough of Portarllngton, whose 119 electors returned a Tory member the other day by a majority of 17. Until this state of affairs is remediedi all attempts "to dissipate the popular rever ence for rank" are likely to prove futile. Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet is made up of fif teen members, only eight of whom are Com. moners, six being peers and one the eldest sou of a peer. This last is Lord Uartington, the new Postmaster-General, and as he failed to secure a seat in the Ilouse of Commons, it will be necessary to make him a peer inhisoirn right, if he is to be retained in the Cabinet, unless some obliging second-rate Liberal who Bits for an uncontested borough shall see fit to retire into private life to give him an entrance into the Commons. According to all reports, the noble aide of the new Cabinet la tha weak est in point of ability, as well as in that of numbers. Yet the host men among the Libe ral peers were selected, not because there were no Commoners more capable, but because the Lords Still refa.e to repeal certain statutes whioh ensure them a legal right to two of the Secretaryships of State and other responsible positions, without any regard to their qualifi cations of head and heart, and because it is indispensable that Mr. Gladstone should have somebody to fight the battles of the Liberal Ministry in the Tory House of Lords. Yet the great Liberal triumph at the polls was a decided victory in behalf of impartial liberty and true equality, and if the revolu tion does not take a euMen backward turn the time will soon arrive when the respective influenoe of Lords and Commons of high and low will be regulated, not by hereditary right, but by comparative numbers and com parative maulinesa. Hid I'r:Klnn Abuses. Tub Hon. W. S. Lincoln, the New York Con. gretbiuau (whose frauk has reoently been affixed to an immense number of tho circulars of a New York city publishing conoern, ap pears before the public with an explanation wbif h is entirely satisfactory, as far as he is Individually ceB9jrfl9ij Hf. IM if': l rtnit" nounoes the printed stamp employed a for gery, and as soon as it was brought to his attention he sent a notice to the New York l'ost Office, whioh caused all subsequent pack ages bearing Lis name to be retained. From that time it is said that about fifty paokages bearing the forged frank were forwarded to him every day, having been dropped in the New York FoBt Office under the belief that they would reach their destination. The authorities have reoently oaptured the fraudu lent stamp, and this particular abuse of the franking privilege is therefore at an end. Bat this is not the only attempt whioh has been made of late to forge the printed frank of members of Congress that of Senator Mor gan having also been counterfeited and exten sively used by New York and Eastern esta blishments. In explanation of a charge brought against the Hon. John Lynoh, Representative from Maine, to the effect that his frank was being extensively used by a New York publisher, that gentleman makes a statement that he ordered a large number of copies of a certain journal whioh had published one of his speeches on the finances, and distributed them over the country from the New York Post Office, under his frank, of course. This was not a very reprehensible proceeding, aooording to the striotest code of franking morals, for it is a common thing for members of Congress to deluge the country with their financial and other lucubrations. Mr. Lynoh la a member of the Post Office Committee of the House, and claims to have always voted in favor of doing away with the franking privilege. But, aa the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribunt remarks, Mr. Lynch, does all that he can to render the system odious as long as it remains lawful. Among the efforts of Mr. Lynch in this particular line we re member having received, a few months ago, under his frank, a large dnodeoimo volume entitled "The Water Power of Maine," whioh amounted to nothing more nor less than an advertisement of certain riparian rights whioh have not yet attained a marketable value. It is all very well for the State of Maine to do what it can to develop its manufacturing in terests, but we cannot conceive the juatloe of requiring the whole country to foot Its post age bill. These exposures will tend to bring the" iranking privilege into still greater disrepute than it now enjoys, and should cause Con gress to give the subjeot immediate attention. If the franking privilege, with all its possible abuses, is not to be abolished, a law should certainly be passed prohibiting the use of stamps in all cases, and requiring members of Congress to take the trouble to write their talismanio names on puoh mail matter as they desire to soatWr over the country. It would, nndoubtedly, be best to do away with the system altogether, for it seems that it cannot be used except to be abused. There is bat one objection to doing away with the eystem, and that is the expense that would attend the distribution of legitimate "public documents" issued by the different departments of the Government. Tens of thousands of volumes are yearly sent forth from the Government printing office at Washington which are absolutely worthless; but there are a great many Government publi cations which are quite valuable and worth the cost of distribution. Congress should alao devote a small share of their time to this ex pensive abuse of the rights of the people, by prohibiting the printing of tons of useless mat- ter. Ana for the sake of letting the people have, without oost, such documents as they will take the trouble to read when they once possess them, the franking privilege oould be bestowed upon the Government printer, to whom the names of persons who are to receive the documents oould be furnished by the mem bers of Congress. By thus abolishing the franking privilege, with this one exoeption, all its gross abuses could be remedied, and the publio at the same time would sustain no in convenience. The War (load In Europe. Tub Eastern Question becomes more and mere involved with every passing day, and has now reached a stage that would appear to render war almost unavoidable. The oonferenoe of the great powers, which will attempt a peace ful solution of the difficulty, assembles in Paris on Saturday next. If they threaten to enforce their recommendations at the point of the sword, the whole trouble may be safely gotten over, provided there is a perfect aocord between them, although the Sultan has re fused to participate in the conference unless it is expressly stipulated that the Cretan question thall be excluded. As the Cretan question, however, is the pivot on which the whole difficulty swings, its exclusion will ren der the conference a ridiculous farce. But the refusal of the Saltan to take part in the conference will amount to little, as the great powers do not always think it necessary to consult him abent the affairs of his own king dom, if England, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia can be brought into harmonious aotion. Should the former powers, however, choose to array themselves on the side of the integrity of the Ottoman dominions, in all probability Russia will demur, and by her moral influence render all the efforts of the conference in behalf of peace nugatory. Iu that event, the present prospects of war will be increased rather than diminished, and be fore the end is reached, the whole oontlnent may become Involved in a gigantlo contest.
