Each side charges the other with intimidation. *On the one band, the Liberals are complaining bitterly of aristocratic " influence," of the " screw" being put on, of clergymen frightening their flocks and driving them like geese to the polling-booth, and of general interference on the part of the higher classes with the consciences of those dependent in any way upon them. There are stories of em ployers —as in Blackburn using all their power to punish voters who do not "vote blue." Clergymen seem to have used their "persuasive talent" more than ever during the election. From North Shropshire there is a tale about a vicar so plainly laying down the law that the parishioners told the Liberal canvassers that though they sympa thised with them they could not vote for them. On the day of the polling the rev. gentleman marshalled his elan, and took its members en masse to the booth, watching well that they voted properly. There is also recorded a conversation outside the polling booth between a IN'est Kent clergyman (who was beating up those whom he knew) and his verger. "Whomdo you vote for?" asked the cleric. " For the other side—Angerstein and Lubbock," replied the verger. "Horne, was the return of the rev. gentleman, " you cease to be verger. We part from this ti me ." A Rev. Mr. Ward, who seconded Sir John Acton's nomination at Bridgnorth, has caused BO much offence, that many of the parishioners have warned their incumbent that if Mr. Ward officiates again they will leave the church. But not from the Liberal side only do protests come. The Conservative plaint is of mob interf erence— of the general influence of numbers brought to bear on particular votes. The provincial papers— especially where (pace Dean Alford) a defeat was "sustained "—contain something as follows :—" We understand that many Conservative voters found it impossible to record their votes, except at the risk of grievous bodily injury, and even of life." One paper goes so far as to say that every voter who gave in his name for the Tories at a certain booth was more , or less injured. The treatment received by Mr. IN al rond's supporters at Crediton is another case in point. ELECTION HUMOURS. 4.zi aged elector was brought up to the polling booth in Lincolnshire the other day. By a severe intellectual effort he managed to confide his name and address to the polling-clerk, but when asked for whom he would record his vote there arose a diffi culty. He had entirely forgotten. The four names were called out, but the difficulty was not solved. He said it was " none of those." It was too late for a new candidate to be nominated for him, and so they shewed him the card. He could not read. Luckily, the name occurred to him by a sudden inspiration, and he mentioned a local solicitor. For him and for no other would he record his vote. The solicitor was sent for, and educated the man up to voting point. This gentleman had probably can vassed the electors, and had done his work so effec tually as to obscure the old man's feeble political convictions in unbounded admiration for himself. TIIE NEW MINISTRY The Daily Telegraph characteristically dismisses Mr. Gladstone's defeat in South-West Lancashire with a few words, and goes on to discuss the com position of his Administration. Taking no notice of the rumour that the Queen will send for Lord Granville, the Telegraph assumes as a matter of course that the Liberal leader will be Premier in name as well as in fact, and then marks out his colleagues. In the first place, a good many of the old men will not take office again. Among these are Sir George Grey, Mr. Villiers, Viscount llalifax, and the Duke of Somerset. Earl Russell somewhat puzzles the Telegraph; but, after some discussion, our contemporary comes to the conclusion that he would do better not to accept a seat in the Cabinet without a portfolio, but do the Nestor and impartial critic, as the Marquis of Lansdowne did. (Our contemporary is at fault here ; the Marquis was in the Cabinet without a portfolio). Mr. Bright, too, .nerniexea the Tekaravh not a HUI') : but t (-Ina e ( _ e wAti.C43 ',MAD tine memner for Birm.aighatil ',icie r to " exercise as much p ower as any three Cabinet Ministers " to taking office; an unconstitutional doc trine, by the way, inasmuch as the directors of Ministerial policy should be responsible its Ministers. Mr. Brand is to be Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and by his rare sagacity reconcile the old Whigs with the new Liberals. Mr. Childers, who has "learnt the art of administra tion in the manly school of Australia," is to be Chancellor, of the Exchequer.• Mr. Forster, who shewed such admirable qualities as Under Secretary for the Colonies, is to take command of that depart ment: Mr. Stansfeld, who made such a good beginning as Civil Lord of the Admiralty, is to pre side over that Board. Mr. Lowe is to direct the education of the country as Minister of Education, with a seat in the Cabinet. Mr. Goschen is to preside over the Board of Trade. Mr. Chichester Fortescue is to return to Ireland as Chief Secretary ; Lord Granville is to be President of the Council ; the Duke of Argyll, Secretary of State for India; Lord Clarendon, Foreign Minister; Mr. Cardwell, War Minister ; Lord Justice Wood, Lord Chancellor; and Sir Roundel' Palmer, Lord Jugtice. There remain Lord De Grey and Mr. Layard available at once, but whom the Telegraph does not feel it necessary to recommend for any particular posts. Mr. Milner Gibson and Lord Hartington are out of Parliament, and as no one seems to feel acute grief for the absence of the first, it is likely that he will remain at all events out of office. But the talents of the Marquis must be rendered available somehow, the more so as he is a Cavendish. So we are left to infer that he will be called to the Upper House and be made Lord Privy Seal. The Telegraph has not yet been able to find an occupant for the Home Office nor for the Postmaster-Generalship. There is another serious omission: Sir henry Bulwer is unprovided for, though he will be the most accomplished diplonfatist in the new House of Commons. THE ELECTIONS. Although there was a comparative lull -- yesierilay, there are several severe fights to be decided to-day. Foremost is.:the T one in 'South-East -Lancashire, where.:,-the Liberals hope to be able to seat their ~nen. Next in importance are West Gloucester -- nict East Essex; in the ,torinm._ thttLi1eakuka1..„...... AL ,....,-- — make a deierinined effort to elect two who will sup port Mr. Gladstone ; and in the latter, where both parties were equally represented, two candidates have appeared on either side. Among the other elections to-day are Berkshire, where the Liberals will win one or two seats ; East Cumberland, North Norfolk,' the North Riding, and Cardiganshire. The principal fight to-morrow will be in South Devon, Lord Amberley having left Nottingham in order to wrest the seat taken from his father in 1835. Since that year no Liberal has represented the constituency, and the most strenuous efforts are being made on behalf of both sides to win the con test. The Conservative candidates are Mr. Kekewich and Sir Massey Lopes. A "DERANGEMENT OF EPITAPHS." " A Conservative Peer " has written to an evening Ministerial organ complaining of Mr. Disraeli's episcopal appointments. The peer says that these are causing great dissatisfaction among Conservative Churchmen all over the kingdom. He adds what Mrs. Malaprop would term a " derangement of epi taphs," worthy of Lord Castlereagh himself. He says " We are, in fact, sitting on a barrel of gunpowder. I fear many old-fashioned Conservatives will be rendered lukewarm." The idea of feeling lukewarm on such a seat as that is, to say the least, funny. .f THE RESIDENCE OF THE PRIMATE. The Dean and Canons of Canterbury will in the course of a few days present a memorial to the Prime Minister and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, on the subject of the episcopal residence. At the same time the mayor and corporation will present a similar memorial which they have adopted. They wish the residence of the Archbishop to be in the neighbour hood of Canterbury instead of Addington, a place pronounced isolated and inconvenient, and they point out that Canterbury is as easy of access from London as Addington. In the city and neighbourhood of Canterbury there is property and land belonging to the see, the income of which might be applied to the archiepiscopal residence. THE NATAL DIFFICULTY. Archdeacon Denison writes to draw attention to a circular, with fifty-six names attached to it, addressed to the members of the S. P. C. K. asking their sup port to rescind the resolution whi c h gave a grant of 2,000 to that section of the Church in Natal which ignored the authority of Dr. Colenso. The Arch deacon thinks a proposal to rescind a formal vote is always objectionable, and on this occasion particularly so, for the circular invites the members to commit themselves to the position that the deposition of Bishop Colenso by the Bishop of Cape town and his coadjutors is not valid, and thus be at issue with the two Houses of Convocation of the Province of Canterbury. We have not the slightest doubt that this is the exact position taken by the framers of the circular, as well as that which they would have the society take. THE CHILDREN'S REVIVAL. There have been some curious accounts recently in circulation as to some proceedings in Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle, during which that gentleman apparently forgot St. Paul's dictum about " milk for babes" and " meat for strong men." We read of numbers of little children quaking with dread at the picture of - eternal punishment presented to their imagina tion, and weeping hysterically at the forcible appeals made to them for their souls' welfare. We understand that at the revivals the lecturer wore a crown of thorns, and by a magnetic hammer and nails illustrated how Our Lord would draw little children to him. He invited those who had found Jesus to hold up their hands. Several did so. When he told them that a friend of his had given a tea to, converted children, and asked them, if he gave a tea, how many would have come to it having found Jesus, more than ten times the number of hands were held up. " A Doctor of Medicine" writes to a contemporary, to give "as a psychologist and physician ' a word of warning. He says, that such continual excitement---- more telling and wearing than mere mental excite ment—threatens to make lunatics rather than Christians ; and he recommends Mr. Spurgeon to read the chapter on "Hygiene" in Dr. Williams's Prin ciples of Medicine, The doctor's advice is entirely in accordance with common sense. The intenser enthusiasm of revivals is not attended with the most beneficial effects in the case of adults. With children it would probably have no better effect than gin-drinking, stunting the growth of both mind and boav- NOTIMNG NEW. Ladies have been seen at the opera with'their hair powdered. This addition to the huge artificial chignon whose weight almost makes the female form stagger, would seem to be taking us back . to the days when it was recorded of a certain little duchess that her face was in the middle of her figure. It is marvellous, in this age of art-worship, that artists should have so little influence in preventing the hideous freaks of fashion. Men have already, to some extent, given up their absurdities for comfort and form, and a dandy is no longer packed up as tightly as valuable china. When shall we see our ladies " clothed" (in an artistic sense) and in their right mind ? BANKRUPTS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES. It is not seldom that the value of shares in limited liability companies requires a minus sign before it. Responsibility pursues the unlucky holder, even when he is relieved from the clutches of all other creditors. A Mr. Hastie held shares in the General Estates Company(Limited), and paid up £2 per share on 120 £2O shares. He afterwards became bankrupt, and the creditors' assignee refused to take the shares as part of his estate. The company was wound up after this, and Mr.. Hastie's name was put upon the list of con tributories by the official liquidator for these 120 shares, on each of which there was a liability of £lB. The question of Mr. llastie's liability came before the Master of the Rolls, who decided against him. Lord Hominy held that the case was plainly unpro vided for by the Legislature. The assignees could not be made liable, and, as the law stood, Mr. Hastie's name must remain on the list of con tributories. His lordship made the following remarks :—" It would be well if Parliament enacted that in all cases where assignees in bankruptcy refused to adopt the shares of companies as a portion of the estate, the company by whom they were issued should be able to sell them ; and if they refused so to do, the bankrupt should be allowed to surrender them to be cancelled, and then, if lie neglected to do that after a specified time, he should be liable for them himself." The case is certainly o ne of peculiar hardship, and its equity at least ques tionable. CENTRAL AUTHORITY AND THE LOCAL GUARDIANS. Though the Poor - law Board seems to have gone to sleep since Mr. Gathorne Hardy left it, it still possesses power, and now and again attempts to exercise it. But some of the metropolitan guardians would rather that the Earl of Devon and all his men would leave them alone. An order has been issued from the Earl, joining for infirmary purposes certain parishes around Holborn. But said parishes don't want to be joined ; don't want an infirmary ; ,4on't want to be interfered with. One of the district boards met just after receiving the order. They would not be the tools of the board ; they would not submit to the tyranny of Gwydyr House ; they would not allow an additional burden to be cast upon the ratepayers. The tactics of the Poor-law Board were dishonest ; were attempts to increase the rates ; were great jobs. One of the guardians got very valiant, indeed, and defied the, Poor-law Board to act against their wishes. Ulti mately it was agreed that they would not do as they were told, even lons. m ore sent
