The Landed Property Improvement (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. In reply to Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIELA Lord CLARENDON said that the noble lord was per fectly justified in bringing forward this subject at the pre sent time. He hoped that a conference would be held and an amicable arrangement effected which would avert the evils of war. He could assure their lordships that there was every disposition on the part of the Government to effect a pacific solution of the differences between the powers in question. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the third reading of the Selling and Hawking Goods on Sunday Bill, which had • been given up by Lord Chelmsford on the amendment restricting the operation of the act to between the hours of ten and one o'clock. Lord TAUNTON moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. The Earl of HARROWBY suggested that its operation should be confined to the metropolitan police district. Lord RAVENS WORTH was of opinion that permissive powers might be given to the local authorities to adopt and put the act in force. After some remarks from Lord Lifford, Lord Teynham, Lord Stratford de Redeliffe, and tb.e Duke of Cleveland, on a division the third retain was carried by a majority of one, the numbers 50 to 49. On the motion that the bill do pass, a discussion arose with respect to the clause leaving the enforcement of the act to the police, but it was eventually adjourned for a fortnight. In reply to the Earl of OA.RNARVON, Earl GRANVILLE said that reports ordered by the President of the Poor-law Board into the condition of the metropolitan infirmaries would, when completed, be laid before Parliament. Earl FORTESCUE complained that the administration of the poor law in the metropolis was not sufficiently watched by the inspectors of the board. On the motion of Earl RUSSELL, the house adjourned until Monday, the 28th of May. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SrrArEa took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The London and South-Western Railway (additiona powers) Bill was read a third time and passed. THE REFORM BILL. Mr. M'LAEEN moved for a return respecting the seven Parliamentary boroughs to which it was proposed to give a third member, namely, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Dublin, Leeds, and Edinburgh, showing, in columns, the population of each according to the census of 1861, &c.; and the same information, under each head, for the burghs of Dundee and Aberdeen. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Mr. READ asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to allow the general sale of cattle at markets, fairs, and public auctions after the Ist of June ; and, if any alterations In the present restrictions are contemplated, he would state those alterations to the house ? Sir G. GREY said the Privy Council had thought it inexpedient to make any alterations with respect to the holding of fairs for the sale of stock after the Ist of June. The present orders, therefore, would remain in force after that date, but not for any longer time than was actually necessary. A trifling relaxation had taken place with re spect to those counties in Wales. VALPARAIS O. Mr. GRAVES asked her Majesty's Government if it was true that Commodore de Courcey, who was recently sent to Valparaiso to succeed Commodore Harvey on the Pacific Station, had been superseded ; and, if true, whether it was at his own request, and what were the reasons given for relinquishing his command ? Mr. BARING said it was quite true Commodore do Courcey had been superseded, but at his own request. That was all the explanation he could give. SHIPPING TRADE. Mr. GRAVES asked the President of the Board of Trade if it was his intention to introduce a bill for regulating the landing, moving, and shipping of glonoin or glycerine oil ? Mr. GIBSON said a bill would be introduced on the subject after Whitsuntide. THE CLAITYI OF MR. BURN. Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office had yet re ceived any despatch from Mr. Consul Knox at Bangkok, in reference to a claim of Mr. Burn, and known as the Myloongee case, and for the production of which notice was given on the 12th of April. Mr. LAYARD said the papers had been received, and were new under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown, and as soon as they had given their opinion on them he would lay the documents on the table, THE CHOLERA AT BIRKENHEAD. In reply to Mr. LAIRD, Mr. BRUCE said the shortness of the time since the notice of the question had precluded him from giving a full answer to the question. The emigrants had been removed to Birkenhead, by order of the Mayor of Liverpool, to the Government Emigration Depot, which was a building rented, not owned, by the Government. At that time 400 healthy emigrants were then occupying the lower part of the building. The 400, however, were removed upstairs, and the 200 from the Helvetia were quartered in that por tion of the building vacated. The 400 emigrants took their departure to-day, and at the last accounts they were all well. (Hear.) The cholera broke out amongst the 200 remaining, but the last report he had received from Birkenhead was favourable, as no further deaths or fresh cases had occurred, and that all were going on very favour ably. THE BANK OF ENGLAND. Mr. WYLD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was expedient that the directors of the B an k of England should exercise the power they possess by their exclusive privilege of issuing notes to compel the sale of Consols, and thereby depreciate the securities of the State upon which their own issues are mainly founded ? , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the question opened up a subject of general policy, rather than being that to which a simple answer could be given. Th e act of 1844 was imperative;gand therefore it was im possible to deprive the Bank of the power it possessed. m why . the turf asked the First Commissioner of Works acres in u turt had been st r ipp e d o ff a space o f n early three north side of near to the Guards' barracks, on the thiet ? Serpentine ;• and whether it was in tended to replace Mr. CO'svp ER said the cold weathe r th a t h a d preva il e d t lately had prevented e germination of the seed which had been sown o n th e portion of the park alluded to b beco mey tho hon. gent een l T eman now in he ha doubt, would gra ve:rt d n ort, time. (Lau g ht er .) A CONGRESS 1.2,4 PARIS. In reply to Mr. PEACOCK, cn Mbetween r.

CATTLE DISEASE. In reply to an HoN. MEMBER, LAIED said it was quite true, that a uoiv Lich Lad arrived at Birken head from Ireland ou Bi nh slaughtered had been found to be labourin g under a severe attack of rinderpest. The carcase was at once buried, an d that war, all the information on the point that had been sent to the Privy Council, VAL FARAH 0, In reply to Mr. D. GE:trans, _ Mr. LAYARD said he bad seen the document attri buted to the American officer, Commodore Rodgers, to the effect that ho was ready to combine with the English ships to prevent the destruction of the town. The statement r•as quite at variance with the officir , l dezpatchez of Cora =odors Dac=e. 411 the papers would be laid before I'4l. 4 liarnent. He might, however, say that the conduct of Mr. Thompson at Chili had her Majesty's approval. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. The CHANCELLOR---oitheEX.CHEQUER moved that the house, at its rising, do adjourn until Thursday next. Mr. WATKIN called attention to the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty, and condemned the conduct o it. of the Government in having kept back from the house infor mation which ought to have be en g iven to lt was clear from the fact that a United States squadron had been sent to the fishing grounds that the relations between the two countries were not in a healthy condition. Under these circumstances, he asked who was responsible for this state of things, and what was to be done. Mr. LAYARD said that her Majesty's Government had done all in their power to obtain a renewal of the treaty. Our Minister, Sir F. Bruce, had informed the United States Government that we were ready to renew the treaty in its present form, or to modify it, so as to render it more beneficial to both countries than it had hitherto been ; but the answer of Mr. Seward was that the Government de clined all diplomatic negotiations on the subject, and were at present awaiting the decision of the Committee of Con gress to whom the question had been referred. As to the question of the fisheries, the United States Government had shown every disposition to deal with it in a friendly and conciliatory manner. Instead of viewing the sending out of a squadron to the fisheries as an act of hostility, he regarded it rather as a desire to prevent those disputes and difficulties which would inevitably arise if the fishing vessels were left to themselves. Mr. OLIPHANT doubted whether it was necessary to renew the Reciprocity Treaty at all. The O'CONOR DON said he was at,Washington at the time notice of the termination of the treaty was given, and he thought the Government had pursued a very judicious course in reference to it. Mr. KINNAIRD and Mr. WurrE thanked Mr. Watkin for having brought the subject forward. Mr. CARD WELL remarked that the bonding arrange ments for the transit of goods by railway were not affected by the termination of the treaty, as they did not depend on the treaty, but upon the mutual interests and mutual rela tions existing between the two countries. It was the same with regard to the navigation of the St. Lawrence and of Lake Michigan, and there was no intention of terminating those reciprocal arrangements. With regard to the fisheries, the Government were in friendly communication with the Government of the United States on the subject, and they viewed with satisfaction, and not alarm, the pre sence of a naval force on the station. The subject then dropped. Sir J. HAY asked if the Government intended to persist in the clause of Reform Bill disfranchising dockyard. voters. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to answer the question. The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. On the order of the day for going into Committee of Supply, General DUNNE called attention to the Treasury mi nutes respecting the records of Great B►itain and Ireland, and suggested that some person should be appointed at an early period to edit and arrange those connected with Ireland. Mr. CHILDERS stated that when the estimates were prepared next year, it should clearly be shown on the face of them what the Government were prepared to do both with regard to the English and Irish State papers. Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE rose to move for a com mission to inquire into the constitution of the Metropolitan Board of Works, when tho House was counted out at a quarter past nine o'clock. SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE. EPSOM SUMMER MEETTh7G—FnmAr. THE OAKS DAY. The' Oaks day" is supposed to have its speciali ties as well as the Derby, and the rain—that national calamity so often talked of in connexion with the carnival day—would be far more calamitous on the fourth than on the second day of the Summer Meet ing, on account of the fair sportswomen that so regularly and so naturally make up one of the prin cipal sights on the " Ladies' day." But fortunately there was no rain yesterday, and no wind, and no chilliness, as on the Wednesday previous ; but all was brightness and sunshine, as it should be when the daughters of England associate themselves with the national pastime. The weather-clerk seemed to be making up for his past misdeeds, and it must be confessed that his exuberance had a strong effect upon the " weaker" portion of the company, who, arrayed in the pretty and well-blended hues of the season, enjoyed themselves on the hill, on the Stand, and wherever they pleased to place themselves. Perhaps there were not so many as there were last year on either of the two points of vantage just alluded to, for those who have visited Epsom year after year said there was not, and they ought to know something about it. There was assuredly a worse class of fillies to contest the principal race, and it may be questioned if so poor a lot has been seen for ever so many seasons. Every one seemed to be at variance with everybody else in an opinion on the probable issue, and it was generally considered that as Repulse was " out of the way"—she was coloured on the card nevertheless--the race was very open, despite the fact that Ischia was put forth as a proper candidate in the Danebury interest. It was remembered how indifferently she cut up at the Newmarket First Spring Meeting, on the day that her stable companion, Repulse, won the One Thou sand Guineas from the Gallic filly that ran second for the French Derby last Sunday, and how weedy and mean-looking she appeared at the time, and most of the talent seemed to pin their faith to a strapping filly by King Tom out of Mayonaise, Tor mentor, Proserpine, and La Dauphine, the latter of whom was the highest-priced yearling of 1864. Each of these found plenty of favour, and Ischia was backed doWn to a short price by the fashionalle clique of whom the Duke of Beaufort and the Mar quis of Hastings are the recognised heads. The field was seventeen strong, and after a rather slow run race—the winner took three seconds more than did Lord Lyon on Wednesday—victory was de clared in favour of Tormentor, a compact little mare, and the property of a tradesman in Picca- dilly who runs under an assumed name. The vic tress was not the worst looking of the field, but she was not up to the form we are in the habit of see- ing in the fillies' race, and a competitor of the stamp of Regalia would have scattered the lot. A rank outsider, Mirella, was second, only beaten half a length ; and as Repulse ran clean away from her at Newmarket a few weeks back, the prize would un doubtedly have gone to the Marquis of Hastings had he allowed his representative to take part in the encounter. There was a rumour of his having been forestalled in the market, and another that Repulse was dead amiss ; but it is sufficient to say that she was kept away, and that the race for the Oaks was settled without her. The fair visitors knew little of the machinery that regulated and influenced the struggle, and had Mother of Pearl, who pulled up the absolute last, changed places with the winner, her name would have answered their purpose just as well to talk about. There was comparative little crushing at the railway stations, both before and after the termination of the sport, which, as far as the minor items were concerned, calls for no com ments further than are contained below.

After the' 17 fillies had taken their preliminary canters they proceeded without delay to the starting post, where Mr. M`George took them under command, and after one break away lowered the flag to one of the most beautiful starts ever witnessed. Stretching across the course so nearly in a line for the first 100 yards it was impossible to make out the relative positions of the competitors, but as they ascended the hill La Dauphine took up the running, with a clear lead of Proserpine, Mother of Pearl, Fair Rosa mond, Mirella, Hebe, and Tormentor, who comprised the leading division, while in the rear of the rank were Ischia, Wild Briar, the Mayonaise filly, and Acta3a ; these were succeeded at a clear interval by Lady Sophie and Ammuni tion. At the commencement of the furzes Mirella ran by her horses, and upon reaching the mile post headed La Dauphine, who was succeeded in the order named by Mother of Pearl, Proserpine, Tormentor, Lady Vane, and Elfeta, while Fair Rosamond having gradually dropped away from the front, was passed by her stable companion Ischia, who took a prominent position as they descended the hill. As they neared Tattenham Corner, La Dauphine, coming round next the rails, took a slight lead of Mirella, who was closely attended by Lady Vane, Mother of Pearl, Tormentor, and Ischia, as they entered the straight, where in a few strides Mother of Pearl was beaten, and La Dan phine, holding cut signals of distress, retired from the front, leaving Mirella on the lower ground in command, with Tormentor and Ischia next on the right, while Lady Vane, Proserpine, The Maid of Masham filly, and Wild Briar were the most prominent of the others. Before reach ing the distance Tormentor closed with Minna, with whom she got on even terms at the commencement of the en closure, and drawing away on nearing the chair, won, after a good race, by half a length. The favourite was only defeated by a head for the 100 soya second money : Lady Vane was a good fourth, Maid of Masham filly filth, Wild Briar sixth, Proserpino seventh, and La Dauphine eight; the others, at wide intervals, were brought up by Fair Rosamond and Mother of Pearl.

Th e matter for speculation is no longer the policy of a Minister, or the passion of a people, or the fanaticism of a race, so much as the almost un controllable working of certain financial and military conditions. Peace—it is the very boast of peace--- has a natural and spontaneous development of its own, and the foremost labourers in the cause of peace and prosperity are content to be told that they have wisely let things take their own course. War also works itself out by its own agencies and its own laws, leaving to statesmen .and legislatures the humble task of recruiting its ranks, and catering for its material necessities. But it is not to be supposed that we pass, as in a picture or theatrical change of scene, immediately from the benign reign of the one goddess to the fell sway of the other, or that upon the mere throwing back of a gate on its hinges the dogs of war issue forth and ravage a secure and un troubled land. On the contrary, there is a disastrous twilight, in which peace seems virtually to have gone and war to have only not yet arrived. and when we cannot help feeling that the issues of life and death are fast slipping away from the feeble grasp of man. Even in the full tide of war, and when mutual de struction has become the law of nations, battles are precipitated by causes beyond control, and armies fight because they must, there being no help for it. They cannot retreat, or they are without subsist ence, or they perceive that delay will bring down upon them an overwhelming concentration. As both sides may be more or less in this case, two armies may be pitted, whether they desire it or not, for mutual carnage. Many times sines the beginning of this century all the nations of Central Europe might, with a slight effort of imagination, have fancied themselves so many bands of gladia tors, exchanging deadly thrusts for the amusement of their masters in a Roman arena ; so helpless had they become. The secondary German States must already have unpleasant reminiscences of the time when they were led as sheep to the slaughter, and had not even the satisfaction of an interest in the quarrel. But the case of the larger German States is not so very much better, and, indeed, seldom has it been better, so harsh and so irresistible are the influences that twist and turn, now in this direction, now in that, a crowd of communities that have neither a common policy nor any policy at all that can be adhered to and carried out. But, though these States have even now hardly a policy that any statesman could avow, except where it is purely defensive, there is something much more potent. There are uni versal preparations for war to the utmost resources and credit of every State in Central and Southern Europe, and to its utmost powers of maintenance and endurance. There is a war in every respect except that which alone brings war to a conclusion, the ex haustive actuality of war. In this country we have the means of estimating the force of any sudden and imperious demand on the youth and strength of a population. Men are becoming scarce in these Isles. Trades are combining, and obtaining their demands often without a struggle. Great works, and small works, too, as everybody knows, hang for want of hands. Though ours is still the proud boast that we have neither a soldier nor a sailor that is not volunteer, sometimes the recruiting is slow, though we bid high. On the Continent there are few soldiers that are not conscripts, and that are not taken away from em ployments more to their taste. Yet, of men thus generally soldiers by compulsion, and now ready to march anywhere at a few days' call, there are said to be 900,000 in the Austrian Empire, 500,000 in the Prussian, 400,000 in Italy, and in the minor German States as many as will carry the fearful sum over two millions. Such is the immense num ber of men, in regions by no means so populous or wealthy as ours, subtracted from industry and pro ductive power, and added to the side of waste, diffi culty, and debt. These figures stand for at least £2,000,000 added weekly to national debts already, with an exception or two, overwhelming. Then comes the question, natural to be asked—'< Will not this intolerable inconvenience and cost make reason heard, and compel a disarmament ?" On the contrary, great armaments are themselves new reasons for war. They are the visible means and opportunity of that which often only waits for means and opportunity. They continually empty the Exchequer that must be filled, and destroy the credit that must be repaired. They inflict a dis grace which they can themselves alone remove. The spirit evoked must do its errand, and will not other wise be laid. It will not be trifled with. In the wars of old we read that an army was melting away, so it must attack, or be attacked. In the mere standing under arms numbers fall, for sickness does its work. Long before a shot is fired a skilful General can inflict on his antagonist a greater loss of men and money than he himself suffers by such changes of position as compel long and forced marches. He may oblige 100,000 men to encamp in a marsh or in mountainous passes, or to crowd into a pestilential camp or casemated fortresses. A military power may be worn away by such means, though it may happen that the foe has to give up the game in sorrow. But it must never be for gotten that the larger proportion of the cost and Joss of war is not in the battles, but in the inter vals, in the marching and waiting. The Federals, it is officially declared, lost no more than about 300,000 lives in the whole of the late war, but of these less than 100,000 were killed or mortally wounded ; for they that died by sickness and fatigue were twice as many. Sickness and fatigue will very shortly show themselves in the two million men now marching and counter-marching, wherever war threatens most, on our continent. Will this be an argument for real war or not ? It will hardly be so much as an argument at all, for it must in time compel the decision whether to fight or to be de stroyed without fighting. The weary and despond ing feelings of the bystanders testify to the real cha racter of the question and the stage it has reached. It is now vain for this Minister or that Emperor to declar maye declare, phrases, and possibly w ith some feel ing he mistake for sincerity, that he wishes for nothing so much as peace, and that his only ambi tion is to pacify and arbitrate. It is vain for any Government to allege its fears, or to cry for dis armament. All are now on a course which does not permit them to stop, and which reduces political manifestoes to passionate or plausible ejaculations. It matters not what the passenger wishes or says when the train is in motion. Of course, if a na tion comes to be worn out without fighting, that is equivalent to passing through the ordeal of actual war and accepting its results. If, for example, 400,000 Italians choose to stand under arms for a whole year, with all the usual expenditure of that position, in the face of an empty treasury, bankrupt credit, and taxation already overwhelming, they are working up to a definite and speedy result, though it is very probable they have no choice in the mat ter, and must proceed as they have begun. But the very gulf before them compels rather than per suades them to cut the knot of an intolerable posi tion. Yet, how they will then fare, or how they will afterwards stand, it needs one o; their own Sibyls to say. But what is it that has brought so many States and so large a portion of the human race to the point where they seem no longer masters of their own actions, but urged on by some fatality or inscrutable force ? For this we must look back, not very far, to the first outbreak of this flame in the recent appeals to the national sentiment made with little consistency, and, as it now appears, with still less honesty. Confessedly something was to be done in the grand heroic line, and a martial ardour was to be roused to avoid that worse evil, popular reforms at home. How far these were possible is another affair, but it is the old, old story. The despot must yield the sword as well as the sceptre ; he must gain victories, and his subjects w ill no longer feel themselves slaves when they have helped him to make their neighbours share their yoke. The Germans are not content with their own political institutions, unless they can inflict them on as many others, and thereby feel that they occupy at least an intermediate step in the scale, and have people below themselves. Hence the periodical outburst of ambition which the Ministers of absolutism know so well how to use, but which they know so little how to conduct to any desirable end. THE " ANGLO-A3IERICAN TIMES." There is no perfect vehicle of human thought. As a means of communicating ideas, the most lucid and accurate language is still very defective. Let each sentence be accurately fitted to its context ; let it be pregnant with eloquence, formed with gram matical precision, and each word be most carefully chosen •, let the voice and gesture of the greatest orator be used with all the power and genius of which man is capable ; his language, with all pos sible accessories, will still fail to give to his audience a full and perfect comprehension of the ideas which he wishes to convey. No single auditor could be found to understand a long speech in all it s d e t a il s, in each sentence and each word, precisely ac tended bythe orator. If this be true, under the most favourable circumstances, it applies with far greater force in the ordinary cases in which adventitious aids to comprehension are almost altogether neglected. There are other cases still in which the technical language used has a direct and natur al tendency to mislead those w h o h av e not made that technical language their spe c i a l s tudy. In this re spect common little legal phrases are the most decidedly vicious. W e a ll rea d s peeches in the. i Legislature ; we all st u dy A c t s o f Parliament and Acts of Congress. W e a ll rea d l aw r eports n th e daily papers, and we set up, not merely for lawyers , but for judges of the various matters in dis pute. And yet, from some little technical ex pression, our judgments as to the legal conse quences of certain acts a re o ft en utterly at fault. Nothing could exemplify the fact we have mentioned more perfectly than .a certain phrase °I pregnant emptiness, which is very commonly used, and on which, across the Atlantic, some people ar e striving to build a political superstructure not un likely to have a m i g hty i n fl uence on th e destinies of a continent. We a ll k now th a t th e word bull shmild mean good fbr nothing, and that the word Void should mean em pty : w h a t th en i s the actual meaning of the legal phrase " N u ll and Void ,3 The legal phrase " Null and Void !" Pe es it mean of no effect ? Let us examine it a little. We can scarcely do this better than the light of e xam pl e . Ti me was , a l i ttle while since, that a certain gentleman " bel l ! "to command," was i n t er f ere d w ith by t" authorities of Ireland. His desti n y was tt to free " his country f r o m th e S axon yo k e ," but the Saxon disapproved of St e ph ens an d his destiny/ and very foolishly a tt em pt e d t o i ncarcera te the one and thus alter the cou rse o f th e o th er . But Ste phens escaped, and his destiny wa s thus far trium; phant. It is also possibl e th a t hi s d es ti n y will lead., him to further successes . H e may poss ibly land in Ireland with a Fenia n f orce , p roc laim a re public, and, himself the chi e f, d ecr ee the con fiscation of the lands of the Saxon, and the e%•• • tinction of the race ; he may p oss ibly c arry this ou t to the extent of taking possession of a town, cutting off several hundred heads, and turning over to his followers the confiscated property of the place ; an d then—he maypos,sibly be caught by the Saxon. Unde r such circumstances, would his acts be recognised bpd the authorities ? They wouli cer t a i n l y b e co nsidered null and uoid. But would that mean that the acts in question were of no effect ? It could net . possibly have such a meaning; for wrongs cannot be perfectly righted—the dead cannot be restored to life. Would it mean that the acts in question wer. e , of no legal eject? In a certain technical sense !`' would, but in the broadest sense it would not. 016 , acts would be the legal justificati on o f the severest measures of repression ; they would have the legal effect of rendering him and his followers outlaws t,O be captured dead or alive ; and if captured alive, to be reserved only for the more ignominious death. This is an extreme example, but it correctl y illustrates the meaning of the phrase nu ll and qt • Acts which are null and void generally have ina" portant effects, moral and immoral, legal and other wise, but they never have that legal effect which ica; intended by their author s . Fi ve years ago , e leven 49 ' the United States passed formal acts of secession. Those acts were treated by the American Govern ment as null and void. They have now been for mally declared null and void by the Legi or the constitutional Conventions, of ten of . th c e . . States which passed the acts of secession. This boot , the case, it is stoutly maintained that the States lately engaged in the rebellion are now in the sale" legal position as if the acts of secession had never been passed. "By those acts," it is said, "th e y were not carried out of the Union. They al . " consequently, still States in the Union, in ,pre cisely the same legal position which they weT - ,., slaturest have continued to occupy if the acts of secessi t had never been pa sse d. All t h e r i ghts which the constitution gua ran t ees t o t h e individtlie, States still belong to th em . Th ey are clearly entitled to send Senators and Representatives to Congress witho u t any spec i a l con di t i ons o f au" imttance." This argument is very plausible, but it is founded entirely on a misconceptiol of the meaning of the ph rase N u ll an d Void. . 1 affects to treat those illegal a c t s o f secess ion whic h e were passed by the South ern St a t es as o f n o pra e , i tical or legal effect, whe n , i n f ac t, th e y produce' , the most tremendous pra c ti ca l e ff ec t w hi c h the cL tury has known--when, in truth, they v irtually affected the legal status of m illi ons o f peo ple.
