DISRAELI AND THE EDINBURGH CONSERVATI T' ES. (From the Scotsman.) It is understood that. Mr. Disraeli has now virtu tually accepted the invitation to a political dinner in Edinburgh on the 29th proximo, got up by some of the more zealous though neither most discreet nor most exalted of the Scotch, or rather Edinburgh Conservatives. We shall all be glad to see and hear a public man of so much distinction, and there is no need for saying that there is neither class nor party in Scotland that would dream of exhibiting anything but courtesy towards such a visitor. But, viewing Mr. Disraeli with reference solely to his present political position and recent achievements, a serious question might be raised as to which is the political party that owes him gratitude and can fitly pay him honour—the Scottish Reform League, or the Conservative Committee. He has been doing Radical ploughing with a Conservative heifer—and it seems at least fully as fitting that he should be paid by those whose work he has done as by those whom he has made to do the work. But somehow there is no competition—the Scotch Bealesites take the goods the Conservative demigod provides, and incline to say nothing about it. The question, therefore, as to whoare the proper entertainers does not practically arise, and the merely abstract ques tion is not very interesting. Behind that, however, comes another question—for what merit or achieve ment is it that the Scotch Conservatives, having neglected Mr. Disraeli so long, are bent on doing him honour now ? That is not only a natural but an irrepressible question, and one which, pending explanations, the more it is considered seems the more unanswerable. It is now a very long time— almost a generation—since the Scottish Conserva tives have seen fit formally to honour any Conser vative statesman; and it is just about as long since Mr. Disraeli, now to be complimented for the first time, began his career in Parliament. It is exactly 30 years since Sir Robert Peel was entertained at a really great banquet at Glasgow. Is this his right ful successor who is now to be entertained at Edin burgh, and is this entertainment to be given for the same kind of services? Sir Robert Peel was entertained at Glasgow when, after having unsuc cessfully though strenuously resisted Parliamentary reform, he had, by the skilful management of other questions, brought back the Conservative party almost to an equality of strength, and had " con served" some of those institutions, such as the Irish , Church, of which the Conservatives then claimed to be the special guardians. In a word, Sir Robert Peel was entertained because he had resisted the £lO Reform Bill, and had defeated or impeded some of the legitimate consequences of that dreaded measure. It might seem easy to say that it is for quite opposite services or disservices that Mr. Disraeli is now to be entertained ; but in truth it is not easy to say anything about the matter till we are told which is the part of Mr. Disraeli's very variegated political career for whic!i the Scotch Conservatives have contracted a somewhat sudden admiration. During the 40 years that Mr. Disraeli has been a public man, and the 30 years that he has been a Parliamentary man, the . Scotch Conserva tives have never until now thought of doing him honour, or indicated any desire to behold his face. He has, in his time, played four distinct political parts—and it is desirable to know for which per formance he is now about to receive that applause which, in a purely histrionic view, he has pretty equally deserved in them all. He began as a Radical under the patronage of Joseph Hume and Daniel O'Connell ; but pass that over, because it may pretty safely be assumed that this is not what the Scotch Conservatives mean to commemorate, be cause Mr. Disraeli has obviously come back very nearly to the place whence he started. There is indeed cause for pathos rather than for jeering in comparing Mr. Disraeli's earliest past with his pre sent—in seeing him, after a long, arduous, excited, and exhausting career, coming back in the end to where he was at the beginning— - as a hare whom horns and hounds pursue, Pants to the place from whence at first he flew. Then be became a faithful though ambitious fol lower of Sir Robert Peel ; but he did not in that capacity attain such eminence as to render it sup posable that it is for that either that the Scotch Conservatives are honouring him 20 years after date. His eminence first came when Sir Robert Peel first left his party, and Mr. Disraeli undertook the task of punishment and revenge. It must be admitted that, with the distinguished exception of the Duke of Buccleuch (is he to be chairman of the Disraelite dinner?), and also of one or two other magnates, such as Sir George Clerk and the late Lord Had dington, all the Scotch Conservatives were in that case with Mr. Disraeli. The English Conservatives split into Peelites and Protectionists, but we knew almost nothing of such distinctions here—with the Scotch Tories, Peel was a traitor, and Mr. Disraeli an instrument of divine justice. There was, by-the bye, another great Conservative dinner got up even so late as 1851, by pretty nearly the same people who are getting up Mr. Disraeli's dinner at this time—the late Lord Eglinton presided, and, Peel being then beyond the reach of wrath, the very Duke of Buccleuch was rebuked, though with all the gentleness due to a duke. But even then Mr. Disraeli was not thought of—the opinions were endorsed, and the denunciations echoed ; but the man was not invited, and but slightly complimented. Is it meant to repair this mistake at this late hour and under these present circumstances ? It can scarcely be—for, besides lapse of time, the circumstances have so entirely changed that Mr. Disraeli is fresh from doing more and worse than the Scotch Conservatives accused Sir Robert Peel of doing the last time they " greatly daring, dined.' , Peel confessedly changed his opinions on a certain question ; he resigned in order both to abdicate the leadership of his party and to let his newly adopted opinions be carried out by their older advo cates ; and he consented to carry out his new opinions when their older advocates had failed to form a government, when he had separated himself from his old party, and had the promise of support from his former opponents. Mr. Disraeli, without confessing any change of opinion, has acted in the teeth of his former professions, and has pulled his party after him to illimitable lengths in a course in which he and they had previously refused to advance one inch. Is it for this that the Scotch Conservatives are about to honour Mr. Disraeli in 1867 ? If so, why did they not much more honour Sir Robert Peel in 1846 ? Rather, wby, on the contrary, did they then revile Peel, and revile him through Mr. Disraeli as their organ ? Why do our Scotch Conservatives give Mr. Disraeli a dinner for stealing a horse, while they declared a halter too good for Sir Robert Peel, who only looked over the hedge? Mr. Disraeli made a good hit by denouncing Sir Robert Peel, and also by implication the Duke of Buccleuch, as having " caught the Whigs bathing, and stolen their clothes ;" but Mr. Disraeli has now caught the Radicals bathing, and has run off, not merely with their clothes, but with their skins. And the Duke of Buccleuch (or if not, everybody will understand the reason why) is to be the head and front of a compliment paid to the man who was both funny and furious upon him for an incomparably smaller breach of fidelity to party and principle. Of course, returning good for evil is a fine thing, and all the finer that it is so very rare. But the case of the rest of the dinner company, though a still more rare, will not be nearly so fine a thing—for they will be complimenting a man for doing a thing a hundred times more evil than the thing for the doing of which they employed this same man to revile and persecute another man. Turning from men to measures, and from prin ciples to results, perhaps it is gratitude for the Re form Bill that is meant to be expressed by the Dis raelite dinher. Well, the bill either is Mr. Disraeli's or it i<9 pot And, in eider case, the Conservatives are in something of a dilemma. If, as some people say and some facts prove, the bill is not his, then the gratitude should be given not to him, but to the Liberal majority of the House of Com mons, by whom he was disregarded and overruled ; or otherwise, the dinner should express to Mr. Disraeli not gratitude as a Minister who has car ried a great measure, but sympathy and compassion for him as a Minister who could not carry his oNA n measure, and submitted to the carrying of other people's measures. If the bill is to be considered as Mr. Disraeli's, then, of course, the Scotch Conser vatives are dining the right man—provided that they are really delighted with the probable results of household suffrage. Thus, after all, theleast unlikely solution of the question why the Scotch Conserva tives are complimenting Mr. Disraeli is, that they are thankful that the suffrage which they thought too low at £lO has been brought down to nil. Per haps that was always their desire—only they never before expressed it. They not only dissembled their love, but were always kicking the object of it down stairs. Of course there are difficulties also about this hypothesis of the dinner being a sort of Te Deurn for household suffrage ; but we can be patient, especially as the whole affair is one of those which are generally found most explainable after dinner. The Casual Wards in St. Marylebone. One of the most perplexing questions that have lately occupied public attention is bow to afford relief to the houseless wanderers who roam about the country, and how, at the same time, to avoid giving encouragement to vagrancy. After the re velations of the Amateur Casual two or three years ago, the community was not long in making up its mind that such scenes as he described must not be allowed any longer to disgrace our civilisation ; and the Houseless Poor Act was the answer of the Legis lature to the demand for reform. Some uneasiness has, however, been felt as to the success of the measure. The very last words spoken in the House of Commons at the close of the session was a statement of Mr. Hardy) in re ply to a question from Lord Elcho) to the effect that the act had given rise to a great increase of vagrancy, and that of the worst description ; for that able-bodied persons who were able to pay for beds were in the habit of resorting to casual wards in order to save themselves from the necessity of providing themselves with lodgings. Under these circumstances it is gratifying to learn that there is no real difficulty in the matter. The workhouse authorities have only to resolve that their wards shall be adapted to the requirements of the decent poor, and they will find themselves comparatively little troubled with vagabonds. To pass a night in a clean room, in perfect silence, and with the certainty that his morrow's task will be exacted from him, is too much for the nerves of the professional tramp. For this valuable discovery we are indebted to Mr. Douglas, the master of that model workhouse—as it has, not without reason, been called—St. Marylebone. For the half-year ending Lady-day last the number of casual poor re lieved by 'him was —men, 6,514; women, 3,774; children, 865 ; total, 11,183 ; and the cost was, after all, only £213 13s. 4d., of which £6 was repaid by the value of the work performed. lu the corre sponding half-year of 1865-66 the number was greater by 8,239, showing conclusively that a strict but thoroughly humane system is calculated to re lieve the rates rather than subject them to any addi tional burden. As soon as the Houseless Poor Act, originally a mere experiment, was made a permanent law, the guardians of St. Marylebone determined upon building a complete set of wards so as to enable them to give full effect to Mr. Douglas's wise policy. These are now ready for occupation, and are thus described : " The entrance passage of the relief offices affords access to the new buildings ; at the end of this passage is a general waiting room, and adjoining is another for females only, next to which is the female bath room. The bath room is 12ft. long, 9f. wide, 13ft. high, and is lighted by windows in the upper part of the walls. These windows being hinged at the bottom, and opening like hoppers, afford a ready exit for the vapour as it arises from the hot water of the baths. The baths, of which there are two, are made of Stour bridge clay, each in one piece, and, having a white glazed surface, present at all times a cleanly appearance. The water is heated by a stove, which, being in the same room, is under the supervision of the attendant. The construction of the stove is simple, and its working very efficient and economi cal, a small consumption of fuel providing a fresh supply of hot water for each person. It consists of an upright cylinder, the casing of which is hollow and forms the boiler, while the tire is contained in the central portion of the cylinder ; a pipe passes from the upper part of this boiler to a galvanised wrought iron cistern fixed above, from which another pipe descends to the lower portion of the boiler ; thus, by a well-known law, causing a con tinual circulation of hot water to the cistern, which is always ready with upwards of 100 gallons of boiling water for the supply of the two baths. Adjoining the bath room is the female sleeping ward, 58ft. long, 18ft. wide, 15ft. high to the lowest part of the sloping sides of the roof, and 22ft. high to the apex. The roof is supported on circular cast iron ribs, bolted to iron stancheons contained in the thickness of the walls, and which rest on solid stone bases. Running along the whole length of the room is a ventilator, 5f t. wide. The upright sides of this ventilator are fitted with wide flaps, having a simple apparatus for opening and closing when requisite; the top portion, being glazed, affords light to the apartment. On the floor just beneath this venti lator is a cast iron grating covering a brick air channel. This channel is supplied with fresh air, which passes from the outside of the building by covered channels running under the adjoining floors. It also contains the hot water pipes for heating the apartment in cold weather. The room is well lighted at night by two pendant star burners, the lowest parts of which are some 9 feet above the floor. It will thus be seen that the arrangements for heating, ventilating, and lighting, are so arranged as to be entirely out of the reach of the inmates. Ranged down either side of the apartment are the sleeping bunks, affording accommodation for 44 women and 20 chil dren. These bunks are generally 6 feet 6 inches long, and 2 feet 4 inches wide, but a certain pro portion are made wider to afford accommodation for a woman and two children each. The construction of these bunks is novel. Each consists of a white deal board supported on either side by a deal parti tion, which rises high enough above the ground to prevent the intermingling of the breaths of the occupants of two adjoining berths, though not so high as to prevent the officials in attendance from seeing each one from any portion of the room. The boards forming the beds are so hung on pivots as to be capable of being turned up every day for the purpose of cleaning the floor under. The head of the bed under the pillow is slightly raise , l, and is hingel separately, for the purpose of lifting and depositing the clothes of the sleeper ; the clothes of each inmate being thus under under his own protection. It should also be observed that the head of each bed is some six inches from the wall, and a current of air is con sequently always free to pass under the bed and upwards towards the ventilators. On the ceiling and walls are the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Command ments, and a number of appropriate texts, the red letters and blue tinted ground forming a decoration as pleasing as it is unusual. The arrangements for the accommodation of the males is identical with that described for the female; except that the shape of the bath room stove is so modified as to allow the smoke and heat to pass by an iron flue pipe through an adjacent disinfecting chamber. If, on eurniuntion, it is found requisite, the PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. clothes of the casual are, whether male or female, hung up in this heated chamber, a•nd well fumigated with sulphur. On each side of the main buildings are ranged the work sheds, which are about 12 t. wide and 9ft. high, and are well lighted and ven tilated by skylights. The total cost of the building has not exceeded £1,300. The architect is . Mr. H. Saxon Snell, of 36, Chancery-lane." The routine pursued at St. Marylebone is as follows : Applicants for admission have, in the first instance, to go to the police-station, Marylebone-lane, about a quarter of a mile from the workhouse, for an order ; but the master does not impose this test upon a woman with a family, or upon any tired or aged person. On presenting the order at the workhouse gate, the casual is at once admitted, and after cer tain information has been obtained from him and duly recorded, he is searched and all prohibited articles taken away, to be restored, however, in the morning. The pipes, which are the chief of these things, would form a curious collection. The clothing of the casual is then examined, and if it is clean it 'is put in the box at the head of a portion of his bed, and is thus placed out of the reach of any of his companions. If the clothes are filthy, as in two cases out of three, they are placed in a "disin fecting chamber," and are handed back in the morn ing thoroughly fumigated. The casual, while in the bath, his a plentiful supply of hot and cold water and soap at his command. He is afterwards supplied with a warm woollen night-shirt, conducted to his bed, which consists of a mattress filled with coir, a flock pillow, and two rugs, weighing 81b., for covering. The strictest silence is maintained in the wards, which are all night under the supervision of paid officers ; and prayers are read every night by male and female Scripture readers, specially appointed and paid by the guardians for this pur pose. The shirt and bed-covering are disinfected in the morning, and thus ready for another occupant. At six o'clock a.m. in summer, and seven in winter, the casuals are ordered to work. Strong, sturdy, idle men are selected and put to stone breaking ; bnt the others are set to pick oakum. Women are similarly employed, unless wanted to clean the wards. The task prescribed by the guar dians is to break two bushels of stone or pick 21bs. weight of oakum. This task can be executed by a willing hand in two or three hours, but there is no power to detain a casual for a longer period than four hours after breakfast. It frequently happens that idle, dis orderly fellows, well known to the officers as pro fessional casuals, will improperly linger over their work, and will not execute a reasonable half-hour's labour in the four hours. Such characters may be charged before the magistrate with wilfully neglect ing to perform their allotted task of work, and, thanks to the assistance given by the magistrates at the Marylebone Police-court, this class has been pretty well weeded from this parish. Casuals who complain of being ill or unable to resume their journey, are examined by the medical officer, and .if he thinks they are proper cases for the work house infirmary they are at once admitted. The breakfasts and suppers consist of Goz. of bread and one pint of gruel at each meal ; and the casual is permitted to take away the fragments of bread collected from the sick and infirm wards, which previously found its way into the waste tub of the establishment. There is no limit to the num ber of times a casual may be admitted into the same ward. If he finds no employment, he may return again at night ; and if he shows a willingness to work and cheerfully conforms to the rules, an effort is made to provide him with some temporary occu pation. Tearing up their own clothes is an offence that the officials of all casual wards have found it difficult to deal with, the excuse being generally that they were dirty or ragged; but at St. Marylebone both these objections are so well met that only one such case has occurred in the last nine months. Filthy clothes are cleaned from vermin by the disinfecting process, and needles, thread, and patches are provided for those who are industrious enough to repair their clothes. Iu a word, it is the wish of the guardians that every care shall be taken to discriminate between the deserving " houseless poor" and the sturdy idle loafer, so that whilst all is done to render the positio❑ of the former as com fortable as the law will allow, it is sought by a strict exaction of the 1 tbour test to drive the latter class from depending on the ratepayers for their nightly shelter. / • 1 V v REFORM CONFERENCE 1N GLASGOW. A conference of Scotch Parliamentary Reform delegates was held in Glasgow on Tuesday, Provost Hay, of Dundee, presiding. The conference was attended by delegates from 36 towns in Scotland, and from London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds. Letters of apology for non-attendance were read from Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, Mr. Mill, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Berkeley, Mr. M'Llren, Mr. Carnegie, Admiral Erskine, Mr. Crum-Ewing, and the city members, Messrs. Dalglish and Graham. Mr. Gladstone forwarded his recently-published letter to certain reformers in London as indicating his views on the present aspect of the reform question. Mr. Bright wrote:—" I thank you for the invita tion to the proposed conference, although I do not expect to be able to attend it. As to what reformers should now do I have a very distinct opinion. They should continue their associations, and make a grand effort for the ballot. This is necessary both for burghs and counties, and there will be no real re presentation without it. The ballot will more than double the value of the now extended suffrage, and will give to public opinion a freedom and a power which it has never yet possessed in this country. The demand of every Reformer should be for the ballot, and if the demand be general it will soon be gained." Mr. John Stuart Mill wrote :—" I beg to say that absence from England, as well as the demands on my time and exertions, will make it impossible for me to attend the conference at Glasgow. Nor have I at present the leisure necessary for writing out such a statement of my political opinions as would be of any use to the League in preparing a programme of future policy for reformers. I can only recommend as among the objects most pressing and urgent,-Ist, a more just redistribution of seats in Parliament; 2d, measures for the repression not only of bribery at elections, but of that monopoly of seats in Parliament by rich men which results from the enormous expense of elections ; 3d, an efficient and unsectarian system of national education ; 4th, restoration of legal protection to the funds of trade societies, combined with efficient measures to pre vent physical molestation, or the threat of physical molestation, from being employed to promote the objects of these societies by their officers or mem bers; sth, complete justice to our Irish fellow coun trymen, especially in the essential points of the Church and the land." Resolutions were carried, declaring manhood suf frage to be the only true basis of representation, but, " accepting household suffrage, with a liberal lodger franchise by burghs, as an instalment of just rights ;" protesting against an equally extensive franchise being withheld from counties, against the conferring of votes on non-resident tenalts as occupants in counties, against the principle of the representation of minorities ; and against the meagre addition pro posed to be made to the number of Scotch represen tatives ; advocating vote by ballot ; and demanding the establishment of a free and unsectarian system of national education ; a complete revision of the laws affecting the relationship of labour and capital ; a Reform Bill for Ireland similar to those for Eng land and Scotland, and complete justice to Irishmen, especially in points of the Church and the land. In the evening a public meeting, very largely at tended, was held in the City Hall. The speakers, with the exception of Mr. Beales, Mr. Ernest Jones, and one or two English reformers, were local men. - "--e 4 :- .-- _-e'------ p , A f ir ( ,)*_ : = -- -;t--' - -,,,, - '' '-' 7'7'- • \;' ‘ ‘l'l - -,z- - _.-,,-- - _,.,.-._• ;- ..--- -- (.

Private.] My dear Disraeli,—Now that we have had a few weeks' leisure to recruit ourselves, it seems to me that the time has come when we may profitably discuss the expediency of those changes in the composition of the Cabinet which formed the subject of my last conversation with you before leaving town. Since that conversation I have carefully thought over all the points you mentioned, and have well weighed the difficulties which you pointed out. The latter do not appear to me to be by any means in superable. As you observed at the time, Pakington is the chief stumbling-block. We must give him a peerage, I suppose, ; but he has such an exaggerated estimate of his own value that I am sure he will not accept anything less than a viscountcy. It is true that he may fairly claim to be worth as much as Halifax was to our predecessors. In the even; of our getting him out of the way, I do not anticipat e that Peel would raise any objections in returning to the W. 0. With this botheration in Abyssinia impending over us, I look upon his rein stallation as of primary importance. The General is not likely to commit any blunders ; at any rate not gross ones, and his popularity would carry us through a gr. at deal ; but I am on perpetual thorns about Pakington, and he is so confoundedly sure of himself that he has begun to resent every hint I give him. Then about Caruarvon. I want him back very much. I have thought over every possible combi nation, and I think 1 have hit upon it. Marlborough must go. Really I hardly know why we ever put him in ; but I shall be glad to be rid of him, and so, I think, will you. Then we will make Buckingham Lord President, and Carnarvon has only to step back again into his old place. As for Cranborne, I know that it is useless to speak to you about him ; and, moreover, after the many displays of his temper which he was good enough to afford us, and his manner to Stanley in the House, I should not be at all anxious to secure him. Carnarvon pitched it into us rather strong, but he was temperate in comparison with Cran borne, and he was never cantankerous. Stanley mentioned these changes at Balmoral, and they were well received, so I must ask you to take an early opportunity of letting me know your opinion about them. Yours very faithfully, DERBY. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Hughenden Manor. THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER TO THE EARL OF DERBY. Private.] Hughenden Manor, Sept. 6, 1867. My dear Lord Derby,—l have given my best at tention to your letter of the 3d, and I am glad to say that I agree with you in nearly every point. With respect to Lord Cranborne, it would be, as you say, superfluous to make any suggestion having for its object his return to the Cabinet. But I have a suggestion to make concerning him, never theless. It is certainly a pity that the services of so talented a young man should be lost to his country. What do you say to sending him to India in the place of Lawrence ? He would make an ex cellent Governor-General, and we should not be troubled with his presence in the House of Com mons. You are well aware that, though I did my best to keep matters smooth, we never did get on well together, and latterly his demeanour has been arrogant and offensive to the last degree. I sincerely endorse all you say about Pakington ; but, as I told you in London, I feel very doubtful about your persuading him to resign even for a viscountcy. I believe he thinks he ought to be a duke. The only way that I see is to affront him seriously; but he is so thick-skinned that even then it is doubtful whether you would succeed. Corry says that he is being driven frantic by P.'s constant suggestions; that Sir John is always sending him little notes containing excee lingly novel ideas ; and that he (Corry) wishes that you would give P. the command of the Abyssinian expedition, with strict injunctions to the next iu command to offer him at once to King Theodore in exchange for Consul Cameron, and leave him with the barbarians. I have nothing to say against your propmalalnut Carnarvon. I don't set quite the high value upon him that you are inclined to do ; but if you are so magnanimous as to forgive his attacks, and if he is going to be a good boy for the future, I for one shall welcome his return with pleasure. Believe me, my dear Lord Derby, Very faithfully yours, The Earl of Derby, K.G., &c. B. DISRAELI. THE EARL OF DERBY TO SIR JOHN PAKINGTON. Private.] Knowsley, Sept. 8, 1867. My dear Pakington,—lt has long been my con viction that the zeal and ability which you have displayed in the discharge of your official duties in the various departments of the Government to which it has given me great satisfaction to re commend you to her Majesty for appointment are such as to deserve more distinguished recog nition than you have hitherto received. The G. C. B. was but A poor reward for your services in 1858-59, and I have reason to believe that any mention of your name for further honours would be well received in a high quarter. I am quite prepared, therefore, in the event of your concur rence, to propose to her Majesty to grant to you the dignity of a Viscount of the United Kingdom, and I should be delighted to act upon any suggestion you might make as to the title which you would prefer to assume. Your elevation to the Peerage would, of course, necessitate the relinquishment of your present post; but, though I should be thus depriving the Cabinet of one of its most useful members, I do not think that I should be justified on that account in defer ring the due reward of your merits ; and must there fore, though with much regret, resign myself to the sacrifice.—Believe me, dear Sir John, faithfully yours, DERBY.
