It was urged that in the present state of competition, and considering the advantages which railways afforded to the community there should be a considerable r3duction, if not an entire abolition, of certain duties which pressed very heavily oa the railway companies. A. reconsideration of the whole question of compensation for railway accidents, was suggested. Mr. Lefevre t:Lought it bettor to leave the question of corn pensation'to be settled by the house of Commons, wheli would be certain to refer any bill that might introduced to a select committee. In answer to question, Mr. Lefevre said he did not know whether ia the proposed measure any steps would be taken to o':tend the principle of working men's trains to large p:ovincial t owns . Il e sa id th e details laid before him should have the attention of the Board of Trade when the matter'was ripe for legislation.

How long will it wait bef)re it asks for power to repress assassination, rioting, and gene ral disorder ? The Cabinet is said by the London corre spondent of the Manchester Courier to be considering the subject, .and to be divided upon it. Mr. Glatstone still ardently hopes that his legis lative proposals will abolish sedition; and both he and Mr. Chichester Fortescue oppose the adoption of coercive measures. Other members of the Govern ment, however, urge repression, immediate and absolute ; and Earl Spencer threatens to retire unless something be done. These "Cabinet guesses" may be true or false ; but the Government is evidently struggling hard against the necessity for using excel} tional measures. ; risen , I, and RESIT MEAT PRESERVATIVE.- P N',RRY S PATENT.—WiII keen meat, fish, poultry, gams, &c., -sound in any climate, and during the greatest changes of temperature, without in the least injuring their flavour or nutritious qualities.

The supporters of Mr. Kickham, the Fenian candi date for Tipperary, are naturally excited by their close run within four votes of Mr. Heron. The majority, they think, was unfairly obtained. They charge the Government with deliberately retaining and sup pressing telegrams sent in the Kickham interest. They allege that bribery and intimidation have been practised, and they declare their intention of petitioning. The Government has not been long in possession of the telegraphs before accusations of tampering with messages have been brought forward— a charge of similar honesty with the allegation that O'Donovan Rosso, was flogged. It is gratifying, how ever, to find the Fenians resorting to such peaceful means as an election petition, though what benefit they can derive from an inquiry is not at all clear. CASHEL INIQUITY. The report of the Cashel Election Commission states that inquiry was made into the practices at the con test of 1808, 1865, and 1859. On the first occasion bribery was committed, and likewise in 1865, but iu 1859 there was no corruption, and therefore the commissioners made no inquiry into any previous election. Mr. Alunster's object in fighting the borough in 1868 was rather peculiar. He resided at Sheffield, and knew nothing of Cashel; but his great desire was to prevent the re-election of Mr. O'Beirne, and he cared little whether he secured this end by becoming a candidate himself or by paying the expenses of another. There was bribery on the part of Mr. O'Beirne, but not to such an extent as on behalf of Mr. Munster. The latter gave a cheque for £4OO towards the establishment of some "Christian Brothers' Schools," and though he re jected an offer to have the money returned in case of his non-election, yet the commissioners find that his donation was used to influence the electors, and thus amounted to corruption. THE SACK OF WATERFORD. An " Eye-witness " imputes the blame of the ter rible riot at theWaterford election to the inefficiency of the local magistrates. There was an array of police and military amply sufficient to preserve order. Previously to the nomination, a proclamation was issued to the effect that no bands would be allowed to perambulate the streets ; but bands did immediately perambulate the streets, and when once the mob had safely defied the authorities, the au dacity of lawlessness increased every hour. The Mayor says his power during an election is super seded by the High Sheriff. The High Sheriff retired from the city without leaving auy directions to preserve its peace, and was never seen during that dreadful night of Thursday last. No steps were taken to keep the peace, no orders given to patrol the streets on the evening of the polling-day, though rioting had commenced in the form of smashing windows and knocking down electors early on that day. The place was wrecked ander the eyes of 600 police, 300 Dragoons, and a regi ment of infantry, with a half battery of artillery, all waiting for orders from a local magistracy, who were also waiting for directions from the High Sheriff, who never appeared. THE ILEIGN OF TERROR. IN MEATH. Chief Justice Monahan drew a melancholy picture of the state of Meath in his charge to the grand jury of the county. He described the number and mag nitude of the offences as appalling. He had before Mm, he said, a list of four or five cases where men were brutally murdered in the noonday, and no per son had been made amenable for the crimes. There were sixty or seventy cases of sending threat ening letters, but none of the offenders had been brought to justice. Cases of attacking houses and ad ministering unlawful oaths appeared in the calendar, and ho would hardly believe but that the people who had been injured were aware of who the persons were who had assailed them. He believed, in his con science, that it was through terror they were pre vented from coming forward to bring the offenders to justice. his lordship, however, expressed a hove that the same causes which had removed crime in other counties would produce a like effect in Meath. In Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary, crimes had gone for some time unpunished, but after a little time, as soon as the farmers felt it was necessary for their own security that they should aid in the prosecution of offenders, they came forward, the criminals wore made amenable, and punishment was inflicted upon them. Wicklow presents an agreeable contrast to Meath. In the former co unty no organisation to lefy the laws is in existence. PEASANT PROPRIETORSHIP IN IRELAND. "H.," in the Times, draws the following graphic though unpleasant picture of the probable results of that part of the Irish Land Bill which re fers to what he terms "peasant proprietor ship." Starting with the assumption that the Irish peasantry aro not a far-sighted and prudent class, he says the fierce desire and competition for land, which leads them to offer extravagant rents, and to give impossible prices for goodwill, will equally induce them, reckless of the future, to proffer a purchase money which must ultimately overwhelm them. Irish tenants will, he thinks, readily borrow, believing that at the last pinch the Government will not enforce its bond. The State, he contends, will be like a money lender offering accommodation to young gentlemen only too anxious to borrow, without considering the price they will have to pay, or the means of replac ing it. The landlords will, he says, be willing sellers, for the position of an Irish landlord is not the most enviable in the world. He argues that the Imperial Government having allured the Irish tenantry into a hopeless speculation will have at no distant date to reckon with a mortgaged and insolvent proprietary whom they must evict from an exhausted soil. AN APPEAL FROM THE DOCKYARDMEN. The discharged dockyardmen at Chatham, noticing the Standard's advocacy of the claims of the working classes, have drawn up and published in that paper a statement of their grievances, and they appeal to the House of Commons to consider carefully the Navy Estimates in those points connected with them. Nine hardships are enumerated. The fact of their being discharged at a time when no work is obtainabl9, is complained of. The capricious manner in which the men were selected for discharge, is set forth, with minor grievances, such as the withdrawal lately of the practice of granting discharged men railway passes to what part of the country they wished to proceed to. It is also stated that these discharged men have been serving the Crown at a very much smaller rate of pay than their fellow workmen have received in private yards, trusting to that consideration of their claims which has influenced other Boards of Admiralty. In conclusion, a list of five men is given who have been injured whilst at work in the yards, but who have been discharged without compensation ,and who are now incapable of being received into either Government or private yards. THE EMIGRATION QUESTION. At Birmingham a meeting of the National Emigra tion League took place on Tuesday, when the Mayor said that those whom the League desired to help were honest and hardworking men out of employment. He did not mean the pauper class, because it was said, " Once a pauper, always a pauper." Sir George Grey said England was, indeed, great in one particular manufacture, the ma nufacture of paupers. They were told that the poor were always with them, but it was nowhere decreed that a race of paupers should be a trouble for ever to the land. Emigrants of other countries were received with open arms in our colonies, but the poor. of Eng land were placed in an inferior position, simply because we have attached the name of " paupers" to them. Why should we shut up thousands of these wretched per sons in this over-crowded country when there were countless miles of fertile land ready to accommodate them abroad ? Some people argued that the best remedy for an over-stocked country was to induce persons to refrain from marriage until an advanced age. This, said Sir George, would be of no advan tage. The earth cried aloud for inhabitants to fill its various parts. It WitSZOW time for some wise sys tem to be established, by which the surplus territo ries of Britain would be utilised for the benefit of her s aphis inhabitants. RAILWAY CO3IPANIES AND CHEAP TEAMS. • • A deputation f direc 'ra a 4 entlenin oscially PREVENTIBLE ACCIDENTS. The Pall Mail Gazette, fearing that the House of Commons will be moved by the tears of the railway companies to reduce the compensation they are called on to pay in cases of loss of life or limb, calls attention to Board of Trade returns with regard to a few smashes which have occurred in the past few Months. Half a column of accidents are enumerated, the inquiries into which have resulted in the blame being traced to carelessness, negligence, or some default on the part of the companies' servants. Again and wain is the " block system" recommended, as without it it is uigod that no train is safe when travelling between stations not three miles apart. 3111. TOMLINE AND THE MINT. Mr. Tomline, M.P.' for Grimsby, itiwilLbelecol lected, sent a quantity of gold and silver bullion to the Mint to be converted into coin. The Deputy Master of the Mint declined to coin Mr. Tomhne's• standard gold because the Chancellor of the Exche quer intended to bring in a bill naming himself as Master of the Mint. lle declined also to coin his standard silver because the First Lord of the Treasury had neglected to issue the proclamation required by the Act 50 George 111. Mr. Tomline has issued an ad dress to the Chambers of Agriculture, in which he says: "I will not dwell upon the bitter satire which this sadden change of system is upon previous Finance Ministers, who saw pauperism increase, taxes and rates multiplied, and yet refused to Englishmen the right to coin shillings with which paupers might be hired for work, and taxes might be paid. I pass by such reflections, and the inquiry, why the right to a free mint, now so rapidly acknowledged, has been so long denied, and remark that this great advance towards free trade is owing to the organisation of chambers of a,ric.ulture." CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Reforms in the mode of getting rid of very impor tant criminals are under consideration in France and Germany. In the former country, where capital punishment is all but a dead letter—only such excep tional monsters as Troppmann being decapitated—a bill has been prepared to make the infliction of death a private operation. Our " great success " in this respect has led to imitation. • In Ger many the North-German Parliament has passed a motion in favour of abolishing capital punishment. Count Bismarck strenuously opposed the change ; but the deputies persevered neverthe less. It does not follow, however, that the infliction of death will soon be terminated, for the Prussian Government has a remarkable talent for setting aside the decisions of its Parliaments. PROPOSED TREATY WITH SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. Mr. Lowe told a deputation of the Associated Chamber of Commerce that he objected to treaties of commerce, especially in the instance of Spain and Portugal, " because the former owes us some where about seven millions, and the latter about three, and we cannot get anything from either except barren acknowledgments of the debt." " One who knows Portugal" writes to the Morning Post to remind Mr. Lowe and others that the interest on the Portuguese debt is always punctually paid, and that there is no ground, as far as that country is concerned, for such an enunciation on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Passing from this subject, the writer endorses the opinion of the Post that our modern treaties with foreign nations are all " leading on the road towards free trade." We have treaties of commerce with nearly every nation except Spain and Portugal. Portugal offers to us now great reductions in her tariff, and in return asks only for the equalization of the wine duties. It is argued that if the conclusion of treaties of commerce is for the future to be re nounced by England, still this need not preclude two nations from acting upon a mutual understanding where their mutual interests are concerned. GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL. The resolutions of the Council have been em bodied in a letter to the Lord President of the Privy Council. At the meeting on Tuesday the term "State medicine" as used in some of the resolutions was defined to mean the application of the science of medicine to the safety and well-being of the community. A motion was also carried that each medical corporation should possess the power of striking off from its list the name of any one of its licentiates who may bo convicted of felony or mis demeanour, or be guilty of infamous conduct in any professional respect. COUNTRY BANKING. It is worthy of note that Sir John Lubbock, the new member for Maidstone, brought about the sy_s tem technically known as "country clearing." Up to 1858 the process of collection as regards checks passing between bankers in different districts was very complex. The country banker, A, re ceived the check drawn on another coun try banker, B, and sent the check by post direct to B. B then requested C, his banker in London, to pay the amount to D, the London cor respondent of A. In 1858, however, when barely . 24 years of age, Mr. (now Sir John) Lubbock pre pared five simple rules, by acting on which the coun try checks at once became more readily negotiable, and immense public benefit ensued. The member for Maidstone is now only 36 years of age. The Kentish borough could not have chosen a better repre sentative than the author of " Prehistoric Times." THE CRISIS IN BAVARIA. The constitutional difficulty in Bavaria has been met for the present by the formation of a Ministry with Count Bray as its leader. The crisis was a very , curious and a very serious one. The King is of decided Liberal tendencies, hostile to the pretensions of Rome, and favourable to a close alliance—in fact, confederation—with Prussia. In Prince Hohenlohe the Sovereign had a Premier after his own heart. Whilst all the rest of Europe looked on with indifference at the projects of a General Council, and the designs fostered in connection with it, Prince Hohenlohe was unceasingly vigilant, and constant in his endeavours to induce the Catholic Governments to interfere. But the statesman had not the support of the country. At the last general election the Ultramontanes secured a small majority of four, and the Prince resigned. But the King would not part with him. The resignation was not accepted. The Parliament passed a vote of no confidence. For weeks a constitutional struggle has been carried on between the sovereign and the representatives of the people, and the most violent solutions of the dead lock have been talked of. At length, however, Prince Hohenlohe has finally withdrawn from the Government. There was no other resource, for the Ultramontanes had the majority in Parliament, and their supremacy could be set aside only by illegal means. 4 • SFIRrr LICENSES—A NOVEL Ponrr of LAW.—If, after having obtained a license to sell excisableliquors in a house you should move the house upon rollers to a point 35 feet distant from its original site, does the license roll with it ? Thi3 rather novel question has just arisen before the Wrexham magistrates, and they took a week to deliberate upon it. They decided that the house thus rolled away was not the house which had been licensed, and fined a Mr. Whittaker £5 for selling spirituous liquors there. A case was granted for the dem mon of the Court of Queen's Bench on the point, which is about as strange a matter for argument as ever learned counsel had to meddle witj.• EMBEZZLEMENT THROUGH BILLIARD PLATING.--:A youth named Heifer aged 17, has been sentenced to six months' hard labour, for embezzling money from his employers. The prosecutors recommended him to mercy, as he was very young, and his friends would send him out of the country as soon as possible. It seemed he was induced to commit the offence through losing money at billiards, The Recorder took these circumstances into consideration in giving sentence. TRIAL FOR MURDER. —At the Durham Spring As sizes, a miner named Kellet has been charged with the wilful murder of his son-in-law, by shooting him with a gun at Woodland, near Staindrop.

The anniversary was observed as a universal holiday throughout the United States, but, ac cording to a telegram of a contemporary, with less en thusiasm than usual. Our Paris correspondent gives an WOW Of the *batten there, (From the Anglo-American Times.) The ruling of the Supreme Court on the 7th inst. that contracts made before the Legal-Tender Act was passed are payable, and must be paid, in gold may convey an idea to the minds of English men of the importance attaching to the selection of lawyers for that high Bench. They have heard much about the nomination by the PRESIDENT of Attorney- General HOAR and his rejection by the Senate, and the reason that tberejection has on the whole been con demned by the country is, that the Senate was influ enced by other causes than the fitness cf t'le individ ual, though such causes should only be considered, individual fitness being taken as equal. The case just decided is one of vast importunee, as it involves much property, and is the greatest step yet made towards specie payments. When seven men have to, decide on the legality of a Congressional entice ment affecting forty millions of a wealthy, in lus trious people, it is impossible to bestow too much care on the selection of those persons. The judges were NELSON, CLIFFORD, and FIELD ; Alieeeu, SWAXNE, and Davis; presided over by Chief Jus tice CHASE. Judge GRIER had but just reti ed, or another would have been added to the majority, for he held with Mr. CHASE. The question decided was whether the Legal-Tend_r Act had a retrospec tive effect, covering the payment cf debts con tracted prior to its passage. The case o:3curred in Kentucky in 1860, and the law was passed as a war measure in 1862. 'Under it the debtor tendered payrhent in greenbacks at their nominal value. This the creditor refused, demanding coin orlegal tenders equal to the coin value. The Supreme Court of Ken tucky pronounced the Legal-Tender Act to be uncon stitutional, and appeal was made to the Supreme Court of the United States. For many years this ques tion has been argued and decided in State Courts, though it has not till now reached the highest tri bunal. This may perhaps be accounted for by the general feeling which .held the passage of the Act to be a necessity of the situation, and induced the people to submit to what, at least to the creditor class, was a grave injustice. Through a singular fa tality, the Secretary of the TreaStity, mini. whose au- spices the Legal-Tender Act had been passed, " Old GREENBACKS," as he was commonly nicknamed, had himself to decide on the constitutionality of the law ; and it is a very strange fact that his decision mainly hinged on the question whether the means employed were appropriate, plainly adapted, and "really calculated for thepurpose." At the time, the policy of the issue was much discussed, and it has been pronounced erroneous, as it injured the credit of the Union abroad. Now the Chief Justice bad to state his legal opinion, which was that greenbacks were not in the prescribed category, for the war could have been carried on without them, though it might be at a greater cost. Though dwelt on by. the Chief JuStice, this, we believe, was not the chief point with the assenting Judges. Con gress intended the Act to apply to debts previously contracted; but had Congress the power of enact ing this? The Constitution gives the Federal Le gislature authority to borrow money on the credit of the Union, also to coin money ; but does this in clude the power of making anything but coin a legal tender? To issue bills, and to pass them to those who choose to accept them, is one thing, but to force a creditor to take them in discharge of a debt, otherwise contracted, is another thing ; and the ma jority held that such a power is not necessary to the proper exercise of Congressional control over the currency. Yet it may be a necessity of the war power, but the Chief Justice held that it was not, consider ing, as we before remarked, that it did not come within the list of measures " appropriate, plainly adapted, and really calculated." The majority of the Judges also affirmed that it infringed contracts, obligations, held sacred by the framers of the Con stitution ; hence, that it was opposed to the gene ral principles of justice whereon the Republic was based, that it took away private property without the ordinary process of law as directly and inevitably as if it had authorized a man to redeem his contract by giving half or two-thirds of the promised mea sure. Judge MILLER delivered the dissenting opinion, concurred in as well by Judges SWAYNE and Davis. They held that the Constithtiou by implication gave Congress the power to make U.S. notes a lawful ten der in liquidation of debts, as the individual States were expressly prohibited from making anything but coin such a tender, a view which derives confir mation from the Congressional power to abrogate contracts in bankruptcy laws as well as to charter the United States Bunk, that charter being affirmed by their Court. The choice of means, must be largely left to the Legislature, to avail itself of experience to exercise its reason, and to adapt itself to circum stances. That the magnitude of the struggle en forced a departure from the ordinary financial ex pedients ; that the credit of the Government was at the time exhausted, and without this form of discharging existing debts, its paper would have become worthless. Hence the issue was a "neces sary and proper means" of exercising the war power. Though an interference with contracts, so is the Bankruptcy Act ; though lowering values without compensation, so does a change in the tariff or a declaration of war, both undoubtedly within the scope of Congress. Tho Chief Justice and the as senting Judges considered that the Supreme Court must judge of the means used by the Legislature under pressure, while Judge MILLER and the dis senting Judges thought it undesirable to take from Congress a function properly belonging to it, as, for instance, the decision on the necessity and pro priety of such acts in great emergencies, transferring _ _ _ it to a mere Court of Justice. If such a decision is to stand, statesmen may be paralyzed in the face of a crisis, and in the presence of such a difficulty there is but one escape. The Supreme Court must be the final interpreter of the written Constitution if that Constitution is to stand against the usurpa tion of a majority ; but statesmen must be prepared when a crisis arises to take the responsibility of adopting the measures best calculated to effect their object, leaving the Supreme Court after wards to settle the matter with reference to the Constitution. A year ago the consequences in volved in the decision would have been much more severely felt ; but legal tenders and gold have been all the time approximating in value, and those inte rested have for the period had this decision hanging over them ; indeed, it was generally believed that the Court would so decide, and, therefore, the rude shock has been avoided ; that impression, and the time taken, acting as a fender against a damaging collision. But the effects will nevertheless be great. The interest of debts contracted by States prior to the war have, in nearly all cases, been paid in green backs, under the impression that they were legal tenders, and because the debtors chose to avail them selves of the easier mode. So also with the rail road corporations, and the readiness with which ad vantage was taken of the opportunity has materially injured the credit of the whole Republic. That great State, Pennsylvania, which could, perhaps, more easily than any other, have discharged its obliga tions, liberally interpreted, met Mr. BELMONT'S protest, as the ROTHSCHILDS' agent, with an insolent allusion to SITYLOCII and his / pound of flesh. The ROTHSCHILDS are now shown to have been right in law, and Pennsylvania, while the discredit remains,cr` will, perhaps, have to pay the money, which, volun; tarily tendered,would have been worth millions to State, and millions more to the Union in the gait to its credit. Doubtless most of the debts contracted prior to the war have been long ago settled, indi viduals accepting the best terms offered. Still the States and railways alone have nearly $400,000,000 of outstanding bonds affected by this decision, much of which is held in Europe ; and one calculation estimates the whole sum affected at a billion of dol lars. Although the language of Chief Justice CHASE leads to the inference that the Supreme Court does not consider the Legal-Tender Act co?' stitutional, still, the absolute expression of sue; . an opinion has been carefully avoided, the it only denying greenbacks to be a legal tender debts existing on the 25th of Feb., 1862, when tl Act was passed.
