have witnessed has iatrodueed a new ohms of saimilves
—mom or less numerous, to the Legislature ► misty
popular deluge (to borrow it figure of speech from
Prince MeTritzsicif lid Lerd )lAlDerints) has
deposited a new stratum of legislatois in Parliament.
The struggle for Catholic Emancipation gave us the
Sarno and O'Cotirinte. The struggle for Parlia-
mentary Reform gave us the HTTWOODS, &sots-
nuns, Bioriinarorts, and HoISHANS. The Anti-
Corn-Law agitation gave OS the COBD6/03, BRIGHT'S,
KERSHAWS, and BROWNS. The movement for Admi-
nistrative Reform will in its turn train new members
for the Legislature, and supply them with an oppor-
tunity of winning that public confidence which can
alone open for them the doors of the Home of Com-
mons. We do not merely look forward to this as
inevitable; we regard it as most desirable. The
talent available in the House of Commons which was
developed in the leaders of the Catholic Emancipation
and Reform Bill struggles, was simply that of pre-
serving harmonious action among their fellow-
agitators—a talent of immense use in the delibera-
tions of any popular assembly, but which may be
possessed in a high degree by men destitute
of almost every quality of a legislator. The
Anti. Corn Law agitation taught its leaders, in
addition to this tact of management, lessons in the
theory of commercial policy, but left them imperfectly
acquainted with much that the legislator requires
to know. The Administrative Reform movement

will be an experimental school of practical states-
manship. To take a lead in it a man must neces-
sarily make himself acquainted with the organisation
and mode of working of our executive government.
Too many of thous who have been " pitchforked "
into Parliament by former agitations, have shown
that it is one thing to be a successful agi-
tator and another to be a useful legislator. Their
utility is the House of Commons has, in a great
measure, been restricted to the bringing the senti-
ments of that body somewhat more into harmony
with those of the people than they were before. But
men trained in the Administrative Reform movement
will acquire habits and knowledge calculated to inspire
them with confidence in their ability to take part in
the executive council. of the State. The oligarchy will
not be able to say of them that they are unwilling to
accept of office, or that they are destitute of the ac-
quirements which fit men to discharge its duties.
The Administrative Reform movement will educate

The Times has the following in reference to a
paragraph copied into yesterday's Express from the North-
ampton Herald:—" A contemporary adopts from a provin-
cial newspaper the marvellous statement that a Gaston of
Bristol, wham name was gained a few days ago as one of
the Queen's chaplains, is connected with this paper, as the
author of slashing articles,' and the propounder of ' con-
stitutional opiaions and nazi= of government' in these
columns. We have only to assure our contemporary and
his country informant that they have fallen into some unac-
countable blunder. The clergyman to whom they refer
has never contributed one Foe to this paper, to the best of
our belief, and probably owes his promotion to his distin-
guished mathematical powers and his great services as In-
greeter of Schools." . .
