to principle and usingeoss resistance to threats and
temptation, which a hotly contested election fre-
quently reveals. It is the cant of the day to revile
such scenes as the mare stains and blots upon the

MA um., Th. selection of these functionaries wu
eemakd to the Judges of the three Common Law
Ones ; and the power has been, generally speak-
ing. exercised with discretion. The eminent
reels who preside in our Courts of Assize
NI not required and are not presumed to renounce
' die political opinions they have previously peofessed,
sa the day they put on the ermine. It is natural,
therefore, that they should frequently nominate per-
golas from the outer bar whose general sentiments
sue in unison with their own. We could give, were
* mind, several striking instances of the coutnry r
bet, men it not so, the fact would require no apology.
It is ussaiiimmtly essential to public ecalldwace and
eatadhedot that the revising officers, whoever they
bei, ebealel be men of diverse political *likes.
Mb is now the asst and what is meet re-
quisite is, that a rule of rotation in tech
await should be established and adhered
to, in order that no individual should re-
vise the register of any given constituency two
years in sneeession. The remiss for each rotation
are too obvious to need recapitulation ; and a strong
expression of plebe sentiment in its favour would,
se doubt, be salacient to insure its adoption. We
see net so clear that this primary object would be
Veep seemed if the County Court Judges were to be
intrusted with this duty in addition to those they
sow discharge. We do not Nay anything against the
application of asimilar rale of rotation to these fans-
monies. On the contrary, we believe that a great
deal may be said in its favour. But with the present
system of permaneney, or rather we should call it pres
tea immobility with respect to the Judges of the
County Courts, we confess we should hesitate very
much before we could resommend the alienation to
them of the special jurisdiction now vested in the Re-
vising Barristers. On the other hand, we are free to
own that upon general principles it is safer to repose
the exercise of politico-judicial functions in the hands
of permanent tribunals ; and it cannot be denied that
the class of practitioners from amongst whom County
Court Judges ought to be taken, are better qualified
bystandingand knowledge of law to perform the duty
aright than the more junior and inexperienced por-
tion of the protonic's, from amongst whom Revising
Banisters have redly been appointed. The truth
is that any change like that which the Bill before
as aims at, might to be accompanied with many
safeguards and ainditioes which it does not contain.

Tan dificalty of deciding where " Doctors die.
agree," has passed into a proverb, never, perhaps,
mare forcibly illastrated than in the attempts which
have for some time been made at Medical Legislation.
At the present moment there are two Bills before the
How of Conunona " to alter and amend the laws re-
, 'skating the Medical Profession." The one is intro-
Weld by Lard ELcuo, the other by Mr. lizxrarn ;
wit se {arse is the enmity between the two classes of
raisers, tbst a notice stood last night on the books
tithe How of Commons to this effect:—" Lord
Eutto.-05 motion for second reeding of Medical
Profession, No. I (Mr. IlexotAn's) Bill, to move
that it be read a second time on this day
six months." Meanwhile the House is beset with
petitions pro and eon, and Lord PALIILDSTON is, we
observe, this day menaced with a deputation from
ail the various medical corporations of the kingdom.
As far es we can understand the matter,
As main distinction between the two Bills con-
gas to the different constitution which they Te-
tnrwefir fie petrol medical e.o.m.
_
TI• wording to Mr. H axtu.en, is to consist
of Iff members, 17 to be chosen by the different
ttedraestties, Medical Colleges, and Societies in the
United Kingdom; the other six to be nominated by
the Crown. The Council, according to Lord Bunco,
is to wait of the President of the Board of Ileahh,
112- 11 other persons to be nominated by the
Crews.ll el the number being persons "
to be sishesred under this Act ; " in other words
valid members of the medical Formica. These
assion el Council arc to be appointed for
maim terms : the shortest four, and the longest
lODIR years.
Now, it is contended by the opponents of Mt.
licentAn's Bill, that "the Council as proposed by
him is irresponsible either to the body of ;the profes-
visa or to Parliament, and is a mere collection of the
reptineetatiete of separate sad coalicting interests,
with which the profession at large has no sympathy."
LordEtxw's Bill, on the other hand, provides,se they
allege, " a C.oescil in the highest degree responsible
to the Wire profession through Parliament." In a
weed, they deelere that Mr. HEADLAM'S Bill "le
cepa:lay the Bill of the Medical Corporatiess,which
has been rejected on more than one occasion by the

Such, as far as we can gather, appears to be •the
nature of the principal objection urged by the
independent portion of the medical profession
spinet the plan of reform advocated by
Mr. Illantan. Substantially, it resolves itself
into this, that the Genera Council of Medical
Education and Registration," is proposed to be con-
"by that gentleman, will not adequately
repeseeut cad embody the interests or the wishes of
Ilespefeasion at large. In this mixture of many
pills and empomtions—the spirit of monopoly and
maloolvenou ea not be neutralised,but rather inten-
dad by dm emebination,and the result will be,if not
retrogremlos, at all events no reform. Non nostrum
tease senspoure lites: it certainly strikes us that
the oliseters to Mr. HILLDLAN have oonsiderable
reason on their side, and the composition of his
Council undoubtedly looks very much like a
desire to buy off the opposition of the Medical
Corporations by virtually providing for the perpetua-
tion of their old powers in an altered form. In a
matter of this kind the voice of the general body of
the profession ought to have great weight with the
Legislature. The days of guilds and corporations, of
monopolies and exclusiveness, are past. When an
attempt is made to alter the status of a whole pro-
fession by reconstituting and Rising into one the
body by which it is to be governed, it is surely not
too much to ask of Parliament that every acuity
should be taken that the body so selected shall be
as free as passible from the caste and clique prejudices
which are the inveterate vices of all old corpora-
tions. Avila, all undue interference with exist-
ing bodies,itlbald in itself be directly responsible,
though Pazilemost,, to the profession, which it is its
6111116111 to repeoust as well as to regulate.
Oa theaegesemb, and for the simple and intelligible
men On Lena ELCIIOII Bill hits more happily than
Mr. Beaman's the true medium between over-
government and non-government—monopoly and
lieense--the spirit of the guild and the spirit of die-
integration—we have no hesitation in declaring est
preference of the former over the latter. Of come
the Medical Corporations will make a stout light of
ft. bet the odds are against them. Their day is
Ws by. It is high time that the informing spirit
