That it will bepassed is now certain; and a belief that when passed it may bring California and the Pacific Slope into hostility with Congress, leads Governor HAIGHT to speak in the terms he does of chains and tyranny. " If," says he, " the Fifteenth Amend ment be adopted it will be but a mere brutuni ful men, destitute of any validity whatever."

Hence his argument that Congress has no right to dictate a policy which affects so strongly the domestic and internal affairs of the State. That the Legislature in the main agrees with the Governor is evident from the fact that the Amendment was rejected. But it is not the mere casting of an unavailable vote against it to which we desire to draw atten tion. No Governor elected, as is Mr. HAIGHT, would take such ground against Congress unless he felt in his State the pressure of masses behind.

E. 11. CHANDLER, Hen. See. less there is a powerful opposition, still such lan guage as this from the lips of one in HAIGHT'S high place, followed by the State Legislature accepting his conclusion, is not without significance. " Con gress," said the Governor, is " an oligarchy of politi cians, sitting in conclave at Washington, exercis ing arbitrary control over the people of remote States in all the arrogance of conscious tyranny." Instead of being a feeling which will diminish with time, this one will increase with the interests which now create it. It is made up of two strong sentiments, caste,and the greed for cheap labour as well as profit able employment for capital. In truth, California is placed in a position of extreme difficulty, and the State should therefore be granted a wide latitude in dealing with the questions likely to arise. Yet tar diness in enforcing the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment, when engrafted into the Constitution of the United States, may create in California a servile class, to cause some of the difficulties of thelate domestic institution of the South. The spirit of the Governor's message is unbecoming in its hostility to the highest branch of the Federal Government ; and as such is calculated to induce Congress, here after to insist all the more strenuously on the observance of the two sections of the Amendment. Thus the breach is made ; the wedge is inserted, and a convulsion rendered probable, either to close the chasm, or to complete disruption. To pre serve the Union intact, above all things is it necessary that its citizens should recognise and make allowances for the difficulties peculiar to certain sections. This will inculcate moderation, and with moderation there can be no such intempe rate messages as that of Governor flamtir. And here we desire to impress on any American who reads this the vice and folly of such resolutions as that offered in the House of Representatives last Monday, " declaring that the debt should be paid in strict compliance with the contract ; that Five- Twenties are payable in greenbacks ; and condemn ing the Administration policy in redeeming such bonds at a high rate of premium, when it has a right to redeem them at par." This may be called serv ing a paltry party purpose at the expense of the nation. If the mover understood the effect abroad, his want of patriotism, his disregard for the credit and interest of the nation, deserve, and we hope will receive, the marked disapproval of his country men. The direct effect in America can be no more than if a jabbering idiot got up and made faces at the Speaker, but the tendency in Europe is towards the defeat of Secretary BOUTWELL'S financial policy. Yet though no effect can be produced directly, an influence injurious to the Administration may be indirectly caused. If the Executive fails in its pro posed conversion of the Five-Twenty Bonds, some discredit muss attach to the failure, and if its enemies can, by constantly bringing forward such resolutions, frighten that class of foreign capitalists who look to security more than to a high rateof inte rest, then Mr. BOUTWELL'S measure will be defeated, and his financial policy being discredited, the object of the opposition is served. Of course the re solution was defeated by a majority of 3 to 1 ; but that the mover knew would be the result, and he pro probably was also aware that a telegram, placing the circumstance in its worst light, would reach Europe immediately through the columns of the Times from its Philadelphia correspondent. What we condemn, both in the mover of this resolution and in the message of Governor HAIGHT, is, that the national interests, are sacrificed for party purposes.

In a few hours after your readers see these lines Parlia ment will have met and we shall know the Ministerial programme for the session. It is not difficult to guess its contents, They will include the Irish Land Bill as the piece de resistance, Mr. Forster's Education Bill, Mr. Bruce's Licensing Bill, probably a measure dealing with trades' unions, and another for an efficient publication of insurance companies' accounts. The abolition of university tests will be certainly taken up by a private member if Mr. Gladstone does not make it a Government measure. But there is reason to believe that ho will do so. The Ballot and other electoral reforms will probably be postponed until next year, for as we arc not likely to have a general election for some time to come, this subject is not pressing. Even the Ballot would not prevent the scandalous scenes which are taking place in Southwark every night. But while this is a sufficiently long programme for ono session, there will be other mat ters which Government will be compelled to consider, nolens volens. Although it is not likely that any amend ment will be moved on the Address, Ministers must be prepared for a very sharp attack upon Tuesday evening. There will be the colonial and emigration questions, on which tL e Conservative party have the support of the working classes. But the chief question will be the condition of Ireland. The Fenians have been playing into the hands of the . Opposition, and have brought about such a state of terror in various parts of Ireland that, if the reports published in to day's papers be correct, it will be absolutely necessary for some additional means of protection to be offered to her Majesty's subjects in that unhappy island. It is generally believed, though I am not able to speak positively, that a division of opinion upon this subject has taken place in the Cabinet, and that some of the members have supported, while others have opposed, a demand which Earl Spencer has made for conferring increased powers upon the Viceroy. It was natural that Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright should wish to see what effect their Land Bill would have in pacify ing the country before they resorted to the old and painful expedient of suspending the Habeas Corpus Act. But when men like Sir John Gray declare that nothing less than fixity of tenure will satisfy them, we may be quite sure that any measure such as the present Cabinet would be likely to introduce, will not satisfy Irish tenants or Irish peasants. These are demanding nothing less than communism, and Minis ters will learn that there is a party of Irreconcilables in Ireland no less than in France, and that the land bill will be almost useless, as an act of pacification, however really it may be an act of justice. Altogether the session opens under gloomy auspices. Great changes are expected in legal circles. It is ru moured. that a bill will be brought in to abolish the separate appeal functions of the Lord Chanz.ellor, to extinguish the Mastership of the Rolls as well as the Court of Error at Common Law; to create Lord Romilly a Lord Justice of Appeal, and to constitute the Lord Chancellor, two Lords Justices, and ono or more Common Law Judges as the Court of Appeal. It is pointed out that while the Hon. George Denman has denied the statement that he is going to beoome a judge in order to make way at Tiverton for the new Irish Attorney-General, he has not denied that he is going to become a judge; so that it is possible Mr. Barry may yet offer himself as a candidate to Lord Palmerston's old constituents. He would hot have much chance, I suspect, with so Conservative a constituency as Dublin University, where a seat has just fallen vacant by the resignation of Mr. Lefrot. A remarkable book Ms appeared this week, pub- Ached by John Murray. It is a volume of essays, written by moderate High Churchmen to vindicate the right of the English Church to be a portion of the Church Catholic. It is entitled " The Church and the Ago." Dean Hook leads off with an introductory article on Anglican Principles. The Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol follows, with an essay on the Course and Direction of Modern Religious Thought; Dr. Irons writes on the State, the Church, and the Synods of the Future; Mr. St. John Tyrwhitt, a frequent contributor to the Contemporary Review, writes on the Religious Use of Taste; Professor Montagu Burrows on the place of the Laity in Church Government ; Canon Walsham How (a cousin of Mr. Gladstone), on the Private Life and Ministrations of the Parish Priest ; the Rev. A. W. Haddan on English divines of the 16th and 17th centuries; the Rev. Michael Sadler (the new rector of Honiton), on Liturgies ; Sir Bartle Prere, late Governor of Bombay, on Indian Missions ; Dr. Barry, Prin cipal of King's College, London, on the Church and Education. The Rev. W. D. Maclagan, the new Rector of Newington, on The Church of the People, and the Rev. Archibald Weir on Conciliation and Comprehension. Tho two last named gentlemen are the editors of the volume. It is stated that Mr. Antonio Brady, who has long filled the post of superintendent of Admiralty contracts, is about to retire on a pension. Mr. Brady was well known in religious circles as one of the most active supporters of the Free-and-open Church movement. He was also a strong Conservative, and several journals of the same political views owed, during the late Administration, a temporary prosperity to the Admiralty adver tisements with which they were supplied, without regard to their suitability as a means of making known these announcements. The proprietors of the Times are believed to have had under their consideration during the last few days the propriety of reducing the price of that journal to two pence. It is stated that all of them were for tho reduc tion, except Mr. Walter, but they have been compelled to yield to him. The Times has just lost one of the most valuable members of its literary staff, Mr. N. Woods, who has joined the Pall Mall Gazette. It was this gentleman whose admirable letters from the Crimea in the Oforning Herald first established his reputation, and induced the editor of the Times to offer him an engagement. The new paper, Food Journal, appeared te-iay. Mr. Reuter, the well-known telegraphist, who has made a very good thing out of the Government purchase of the telegraphs, has just given a young party at his house. All the guests were under 10 years of age, and although there were 60 or 70 present, every one of them played upon some musical instrument. The picture galleries aro opening their doors one after the other. Mr. Gullick is already inviting discontented artists into his Cave of Adullam at 39, Old E n I-street, and the same street will, under the management of Mr. Benson, present another place of refuge for the "Rejected Ones." Alto gother, including the dealers' exhibitions, there will by next May be nearly twenty separale collections of pictures open. Yesterday I went to the private Oho real private, not the public private) view of the Water Colour Exhilition at the Dudley Gal lery. It is a much larger collection than the exhibition of oils just closed. The place of honour is given to Mr. H. S. Marks, who has the strangest picture called " the Princess and the Pelicans." Mr. E. J. Poynter is represented by several works, chief of them a very fine figure entitled " Poetry." Both the Severns, but only one of the Solomon, Mr. S. Solomon, are represented. Mr. Moore, Mr. Arthur Dichfield, Mr. MacCallum, Mr. McWhirter, Mr. Briton Riviere, Mr. Marcus Stone, Mr, Field, Talfourd, Mr. Frank Watson, and Mr. William Eastlake, of Plymouth, are also contributors. `.=• Three other items of art gossip are worth mentioning. Mi. J. R. Herbert, R.A., has been elected corresponding member of the French Academy of Beaux Arts.in the roan Of the late Baron Leys, of Antwerp, Mr. Cal* ?tfarshall, whose statue of Sabrina most peva§ will remember, has just completed one of " Undue," which will be sent to the Royal Academy ; and the Government have determined to erect at Calcutta a memorial of the late Earl of Elgin, which will be entrusted to Mr. Gilbert Soot* the architect. and Mr. Bennie Philins. the sculntor.
