THE TEERS SUCCUMB.
The diHcusnion in the House of LorcU of the
bill for the diRestabliHhiuent of the Irish
Church was resumed last evening, and con
tinued during the night until 3 o'clock this
morning, when, as announced ly a ca1l
despatch, received this morning, the House
divided, with the following result: In favor
of passing the bill to the second reading,
179; against lit, 14C; giving a majority of 33
in favor,
Considerable excitement attended the clos
ing discussion of the measure, the galleries
being crowded as well as the benches of the
House. But there was no new point developed
by the opponents of disestablishment, their
Speeches being made up simply of reiterations
Of the stereotyped arguments with which the
world is already familiar, with an occasional
impugning of the motives of Mr. Gladstone,
the JMme Minister, and father of the bill.
When the vote was taken 325 peers, as shown
above, were present. The entire number en
titled to seats in the House is about 4(!5, but
there are soores of peers who habitually
neglect the exercise of their hereditary privi
leges as legislators, being more attached to
the excitements of the turf and the joys of
the wassail than to the strifes of party. Even
when all the interests involved in the
question are considered, the vote was an
extraordinarily full one, and the majority,
small as it was, ensures the final triumph of
the project of disestablishment. The bill will
now undergo the process of a caroful con
sideration ;n detail. Attempts will be made
by the i ' r ries to break its back with a
burden cf amendments; but the chances are
that none will be saddled upon it that will not
receive the sanction of the House of Com
mons. The conservative peers and English
l)ishops who have spoken in favor of permit
ting the bill to be read a second time, have all
declared their purpose of insisting upon
amendments which will modify materially the
more objectionable clauses of the measure;
and unless they should carry this purpose to
the extreme and impair the vitality of the
bill, in all probability the House of Commons
will be found as ready to make some conces
sions as the more sensible of the peers and
bishops have been.
When the bill first came before the House
of Lords, there was every indication that it
would be defeated by a majority of seventy or
eighty votes, a probability which was appa
rently increased by the action of the recent
Conservative caucus. But the announcement
of the result of this consultation developed an
outburst of popular indignation that virtually
decreed the destruction of the system of he
reditary legislation. Wiser counsels have pre
vailed, in response to the voice of the nation,
and by its action this morning the House of
Lords has received a new' and probably an
indefinite lease of nominal power. The fact,
however, that the bill has passed to a second
reading by a majority of thirty-three votes,
in the face of an unquestioned majority of
fully twice that number against it, shows that
the HouHe of Lords is now and henceforth
more ornamental than useful, as far as legis
lative purposes are concerned. It is merely
the gilded figure-head of the ship of state; an
institution possessing a high-sounding name,
vet lacking all bnt the mere semblance of
power.
THE DETECTIVE SYSTEM.
The recent removal of the Chief of the De
tective force is only one of a series of cir
cumstances which have attracted an unusual
degree of attention to the workings of the
Detective Department of Philadelphia. So
far as the difficulty about the distribution of
the reward for the capture Of the Bucks
county criminal is concerned, it is but just to
Mr. Eneu to say that he makes a strong de
f ense, and that his allegation that he only fol
lowed a standing rule in portioning out the
$500 among all who had exerted themselves
to produce the desired end appears to be well
founded. The public can have no deep in
terest, in squabbles of this nature, and they
care little wnetner tne prize money was or
was not doled out according to the strict rules
of detective justice. The quarrel is only
significant on account of the indication it
gives that the detectives employed and paid
fcy the city are more anxious to devise ways
and means to increase their emoluments than
to make a square stand-up, disinterested
fight against crime and criminals. It may be
very verdant to suppose munioipal detectives
will consider their salaries a fair equivalent
for their best services; but if their legitimate
pay is not sufficient, it would be
much better to inorease it than
to encourage the disposition to keep a sharp
lookout for -rewards, ani to form offensive
and defensive alliances with thieves, counter
feiters. and burglars. It is an old maxim
that you should "set a thief to catch a thief,
and a certain degree of familiarity with the
haunts and practices of criminals is
no doubt necessary to detect them
But it is an easy matter ' to carry
this idea too far, and corrupt associations
between the officers of justice and the foes of
society do infinitely more harm than good
The spirit of our laws and of our people is
well expressed in the enactments which for
bid the compounding of felonies. But such
enactments are of httlo use if detectives are
permitted to grant a license for crime to petty
criminals in exchange for their occasional
aSNistance in securing the arrest'" of
Ihg perpetrators of a giga&Uo robbery fvr
whom a large reward is offered. The com
plaint is made in various quarters that the
detecti ve system is rapidly assuming . thi
character; and a correspondent of a New
York paper, writing from Philadelphia,
says that "if the thieves were known and
punished the business of detectives as well as
thieves would be broken tip, and that would
be a bad job for the officials." The Chinese
are said to have a system of paying their phy
sicians liberally while health is preserved,
and of stopping salaries as soon as sickness
occurs. Our detectives are compensated in
a different way: they flourish and grow rich
only when many startling crimes are perpe
trated; and when they are not ani
mated by a high sense of duty, it is
easy to understand that they would not feel
specially interested in preventing or diminish
ing the growth of crime. Yet it is this ser
vice, above all others, that ftie public desire
and expect them to perform. If they cannot
render it, the department might as well be
abolished as a branch of municipal govern
ment, and the public left to rely solely upon
private detective agencies. All the bargainers
with thieves, who conspire to make crime
profitable, should be treated as common ene
mies of society and punished as suchj and
certainly the detectives in the pay of the city
should be not only pure, but above suspi
cion. THE MANNER OF T OTINO IN
FRANCE.
Under such a government as that of France
everything connected with the management
of public affairs is conducted on a precise
system, which would perhaps not be either
possible or desirable in a democratic country.
It is certain, however, that too many safe
guards cannot be thrown around the ballot-
box, and in our large cities, at least, matters
have come to such a pass that honest men of
all parties see the necessity for more strin
gent regulations in the manner of voting,
even at the expense of some inconvenience to
voters. As much interest has been ex
cited by the recent French elections, a brief
description of the manner of conducting the
balloting will not be inopportune, and we may
obtain an idea or two that will be of practical
value to ourselves.
Each elector is provided with a card show
ing the district, the date of the election, and
the name, age, and business of the bearer.
This is his certificate of registration, and
without it he is not permitted to deposit his
vote. The election is conducted under the
superintendence of the mayor of the arron
dissement, or a delegate, who selects two of
the oldest and two of the youngest of the
electors present as aerutateurs or judges, and
these, with the president and secretary, con
stitute the bureau.
At the appointed hour the polls are opened.
and each elector hands his folded ballot to one
of the serutateu'ra, who gives it to the presi
dent, who drops it into the box after satisfy
ing himself, that it is not duplicated. Ano
ther scrutateur ascertains whether, the
elector has his card, from which
he tears off a corner, to show that
he has voted. The polls are closed at G o'clock
P. M., and the president ties a number of
strings around the ballot-box, seals it, and
gives it into the keeping of the soldiers of the
National Guard. 1
The same routine is gone through with on
each day, and then the election is over. The
votes are counted immediately by the bureau
on a large table, which is, by law, plaoed in
such a manner that the electors can walk
around them and inspect the operation to
see that it is fairly done. No vote is noted
on the tally-sheet until it is submitted to two
of the scrutateurs. Two days afterwards the
aggregate vote of the several precincts is
counted at the Hotel de Ville by a commis
sion, and if no candidate has received a majo
rity of votes, a second election is held a week
afterwards, when a plurality of votes is suffi
cient. The main features in which this method of
conducting elections differs from our own ara
the counting of the votes in public, as to the
expediency of which much may be said on
both sides in this country, and the presenta
tion of registration certificates by the electors.
This appears to be an excellent and unobjec
tionable plan for checking illegal voting,
which we might adopt with propriety and
benefit. It would impose no hardship or in
convenience that citizens who are solicitous
to prevent fraud would not readily submit to;
indeed, it would be no inoonvenience at all,
but rather an assistance to both electors and
the election officers under our Registry law,
and it is well worthy of the consideration of
those who are anxious to preserve the purity
of the ballot-box, and to make our elections
fair expressions of public opinion. '
The esthcbiasm of the correspondents at
the Boston Peace Jubilee is, of course, not to
be measured by ordinary standards, but will
naturally reflect something of tho grandeur
of the occasion. One of the correspondents
of the P?-es8 expects to hear something like it
in a rather far distant future, but not until
then. He says: ',
"Never till I stand within the prates of tha 'far-on
ceiemitti city,' aim imten to tne melody or the 'Hun
dred and rorty-iour thousand' In white raiment, do
I expuct to be moved as 1 was this afternoon by the
juugiiR'iH nyiuu. - !
And he adds, with an Appreciation of what
is more to the popular taste even than the
melody of the "hundred and forty-four
thousand
"It was Indeacrlbablv grand. But, after all, I be
neve xne greatest enthusiasm u for the 'Anvil

Messrs. Marvin a Co. :
Gentlemen: The Spherical Safe No. t was duly received
and subjected to such testa a we required, and we are glad
to say that it withstood all the assault made upon it.
Respectfully, '
D. K. SMALL, Prosident.
York Tries a Spherical.
In York' fuir streets, where Rebel bugles blew.
When Lee marched North to find his Waterloo,
Peaoe scatters blessings now with bounteous hand,
And grateful plenty fills the smiling land.
A trial, not of arms, together drew
Her people lately, to a novel view :
To test with power In every way they could
The huge Black Ball that on the pavement stood.
They lint skilled men, with hardened drills, obtain,
To penetrate its iron skull in vain ; 1
The tempered steel snap on ita flinty form,
And feebly fail the (tardy shell to harm ; .
Now brawny arm aloft the sledge wield,
Dealing stout blows, to foroe the aide tp yield ;
The powerful inaws tire at last to awing:
The solid (ledge, cracked like a worthies thing,
No more assails the impenetrable bail,
And Mabvin's Bukular Sap defies them all

MBS3KS. Parrel, Herring a Co.,
No. era Chesnut street, Philadelphia.
Gents: A persistent but unsuccessful effort was
made on the night of . May 89, 1869, to drill the
Banker's chest received from you a few month ago.
From facts that have come to our knowledge, it is
evident that the attempt to open it was renewed on
Sunday evening following. Finding all efforts to drill
it useless, the effort was then made to break the
lock. The hammering was heard by parties In the
neighborhood for several hours, but supposing it tOi
arise from the railroad men replacing a defective
rail, excited n alarm. The tools, with the exception
of the drills, were left. It is evident that they were
not only prepared, but perfectly familiar with the
construction of your Chest,
That they failed is another evidence that your
Banker's Chests are what you claim for them, Bur-glnr-Proof.
Respectfully yours,
