THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 25, 1867.

enframhiso is obviously misnamed. It is he-us 14 non
fan ~du. The bill of the government establishes, as lir.
Lowe has said, not a household, but a ratepaying flan-
chime. The bill will estahlish a different franchise in dif-
fer. ut boroughs, and it may lw iu different parishes of the
some borough ; said will convert the local vestries into con-
stituent assemblies. Unless the government pledge them-
selves to permit and assist in the modification of the bill
in this particular, it will he simply a mockery and a waste
of time to proceed with it.
The I'o:t believes it is correctly informed when it states
that the resolution come to by the cabinet has lasti to
refuse all colic: salons, aud fur once to stand or fall by their
ine.sure. They have at last become wearied of the uncer-
tain sound of their own voices, and, with a feeling that it
would be a relief to know the worst at once, they will an-
nounce themselves ready this day to take the chance of
battle, though with what hope of success we are at a loss
to conceive. This detc - ation, we believe, has not Len
arriied :it in the cabinet without considerable diver ,ence
of opinion ; there were some 1411,111,1e111 who would still
have been prepared to mike any alterations and sanction
any amendments which the liberal party might wish to
lint they have apparently been overruled, and
" nu sat render" has been adopted as the latest motto of
the falling administration.
