THE AMENITIES ►►F POLITICAL LIFE.

THE

would need to have proved himself ugder fire
well as in debate. Public life Wail I
come intolerable to men of the liner
order of mind, unless it were softened by
social courtesies and amenities. The test t
derstanding that words below a sertaha degree
strength, uttered in the heat of debate, are
to be accepted in a Pickwickian or non-
natural seam, at once reconciles the la-
rge, of eloquence and freedom of criticism
'with- the preservation not only of the Quasx's
peace, but of that good humour which, however it
may be interrupted at moments, is the atmosphere
in which a public assembly has its existence. With-
out it Parliamentary debate would become a free
fight of abusive tongues ; and the House
of Commons, instead of being the best club
in London, would be a scene of noise and strife and
turbulence as wearying and shucking as any
Ecclesiastical Council that was ever held. The
Pickwickian interpretation of strong personal ex-
pressions, which, so far from being an hypo-
crisy, is simply a tacit understanding that
in the heat of debate and party strug-
gle men are apt to use words going beyond
their deliberate meaning, saves Parliament from
this degradation. A society in which men were
bound not to be on civil terms, but to act towards
each other as sullen churls, and to cultivate aver-
sion would soon reduce its men to the level of its
manners. Political life, without its amenities,
would degenerate into ruffianism. Sincerity is not
compromised by good-breeding. Men are not
bound to sit in moral judgment on each other, or to
decide whether their rivals are wicked demagogues
or unscrupulous charlatans. They do well to keep
these questions in abeyance, even in the recesses
of their own minds. Of course, men may stand in
relations to each other in which private courtesies
and civilities become impossible. The public
would be justly scandalised if it were to hear of
ex-Governor ICYRI dining with Mr. J. S.
MILL at Blackheath, or even of Mr. P. A.
TAYLOR accepting the hospitalities of Mr.
CHURCHWARD at Dover. But social ameni-
ties should have free scope within the fair limits
of political controversy. The Pickwickian sense of
parliamentary language not only makes it possible
to use invective and satire, which are legitimate
weapons of controversy, without giving perma-
nent offence, but by smoothing the way to private
intercourse between antagonists, mitigates the
feelings and softens the words of public
antagonism. If the epithets which such
men m NORTH, Fox, PITT, and BURKA launched
at each other in Parliament could not be tolerated
now, neither could public renunciation of
his long private friendship with Fox because they
differed in theirviews of the French revolution have
any parallel in our days. Public decency would be
revolted by such a display. This change, which is
surely one for the better, is in great part due to the
cultivation of those private courtesies between poli-
tical opponents of which Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr.
Dumaazti have lately given instances, and which
we trust will long continue to characterise the
public life of England.

Ws publish in another column a copy of the 11
treaty negotiated with the North German Confede- 1
ration by the American Minister, at Berlin, de-
fining the status of Germans naturalised in the
States. Lord &unary stated, in the late debate,
that a copy of this treaty had been confiden-
tially shown to him, but it has not hitherto ap-
peared in the press. It will be seen that the first
article frees the immigrants from North Germany,
of whom tens of thousands annually enter
America, from all obligations to their native
country as soon as they are naturalised in
the United States, and have resided there uninter-
ruptedly for five years. They are henceforth
to be held as American citizens, and to be "treated
"as such" with all the rights and privileges
thereto pertaining. This single article affects •
revolution in the relations between the
most important power of continental Europe
and the American Republic. With the
German at all events, the inconveniences of the
past condition of things have been real and serious,
and the concession now granted is an immense ad-
vantage to some of the best citizens which the
United States possess. The treaty will become law
as soon as it is ratified by the Senate, and Mr.
SIMARD has urged that there should be no delay.
It will no doubt have an important bearing upon
our own negotiations on the same subject.

The amenities of literature have been illustrated
by the learning and ingenuity of the elder Die-
XAELI. Those of political life have been practised
with equal distinction by his more Que.
trious son. Some days ago, matter-of-fact poli-
ticians who were disposed to take literally
the PRINK MINISTER'S expression of thankful-
ness for the solid piece of furniture which
separates him in the House of Commons from Mr.
0 ',sestets' were startled to read the names of Mr.
and Mrs. DISRAELI in tho list of visitors to Carlton-
house-terrace. Incredulity gave way to curiosity.
Upon this hint the correspondents of country papers
spoke ; and details of bow Mr. GLADSTONIR bowed
and Mr. DISRAELI smiled, and both statesmen
shook hands, neither taking the opportunity to
smite the other under the fifth rib, filled the
columns of the Eatansiriff Gazette and the Atli-
borough Druottlerer. How long they talked, andwhat
peradventure they may have said, was the theme
of statement and conjecture. Amazement has
scarcely yet subsided iu some quarters at the
daring which impelled Mr. DISRAELI to enter
without a bodyguard of followers, or some
distinguished Liberal hostage in Downing-
street or Grosvenor-gate, into the house
of his adversary, thronged as it was with
the ranks of the opposition. They can compare
it only to King AL►RED'', visit to the camp of
the Danes. They suspect a deep political device.
The Pei ME MINISTER went, some sagacious persons
darkly imagine, to seduce wavering Liberals
from their allegiance at the very hearth of
their chief. Even there he was spinning his
web and laying his toils, and planning a
new Cave or Tea-room. People have scarcely
recovered their surprise at the visit of Mr. and
Mrs. DISRAILI to Mr. and Mrs. GLADSTONE, when
they are plunged into new depths of amazement at
the visit of Mr., Mrs., and the Misses GLADSTO2III
to Mr. and Mrs. DISRAELI, at the new Foreign-
office. " How dare the plaintiff's counsel tell my
" counsel that it is a tine day ?" was Mr. Plea.
WICK'S indignant inquiry when he witnessed the
exchange of greetings between Mr. Serjeant
Herrn ani his learned brother. Something like
this feeling animates a good many worthy people,
who picture to themselves the rival political leaders
scowling at each other across the table in the House
of Commons, thundering the sternest denunciations
and pointing the keenest sarcasms, and wbo know
nothing of conversations behind the SPEAX2IO4 chair,
and accommodating arrangements about the order
of business. All this is very startling. It is not
the way that things are managed in vestries
and in town councils ; and vestrymen and town-
councillors cannot understand it. If Alderman THIS
denounces Town Councillor THAT at the local board,
the Alderman and the Town Councillor will not
speak in the streets, and Mn.t THIS and Mrs. THAT
cease to exchange calls. The reciprocation of hospi-
talities between Mr. Cu. USTON z and Mr. Doman,'
no doubt brings out in a strong light the Pick-
wickian side of public life. But in spite of the
immortal satire which ridicules it, the Pick-
wie,kian side of public life is a very
important and useful one. But for the under-
standing which it expresses, and the limitation
which it imposes upon the meaning of spoken
words, our public men like them of ancient
times, and of turbulent modern States, would need
to walk abroad attended by body-guards of sworn
followers. At the very least, we should have a
•returnof days such as those in which Prer "went
" oat" with Mr. THIIIHRY, and Canna* exehanged
shots with Lord °AMIE/AGM. ♦ political loher

Tits latest cry front " monarchs retired from
" Imminent" is simple burlesque. The ex-Duke
of Bauwaw tot was the town's talk a gene-
ration back, but he has been lost sight of in
this country for years, and it was in a public
sense a resurrection when the publication of
the memoirs of Mr. THOMAN DONCOMIE dragged
his' once notorious name into the light of day.
So completely bad this excellent legitimist " gone

Tuts in his being able to visit operas at all. But

alive, but publishes the following effusion in this
morning's Timer :
We, Charles, by the grace of God sovereign Duke of

had banded us over to the King of Hanover by appointing

in vain before the North tribunals to have us dickered

Why, in fact, should a levee or a drawing-room be
turned into a masquerade P Very few of
the persons who are presented at soon every
year possess a court dress. Those who can I
afford it possibly buy the absurd finery
for the occasion, but the majority hire the
dresses from the same shops which supply the
theatres and the individuals who disport them-
selves at casinos on the bel insequ6 nights.
The majority, too, are most uncomfortable
while they are wearing their borrowed
suits. The sword—so monstrously out of
place in these times—gets between their legs ;
the dress rarely fits, and there is sometimes a sus-
picion that it is not over clesn,or free from certain
parasites, which it is now the polite thing to call
" gregarince." We really cannot see how royalty
is honoured by persons appearing before it in a
costume which does not belong either to
themselves or the time. The unfitness of the

thing is frequently demonstrated when some
person arrayed in courtly apparel is discovered by
the street boys returning in a hack cab through
an tmoourtly region of the town. That which was
admired and thought quite the thing in St.
James's is hailed in other quarters with shouts of
derision.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
(THIS DAY.)

The Peers will assume a grave responsibility,
the AMC/ remark', if they deny to the present parlia-
ment the satisfaction of settling a question like
that of compulsory rates, which has perplexed
it during the whole of its existence. Never-
theless there are one or two points in M.
Gladstone's bill which are impracticable. One proviso re-
serves for the parishioners who have declined to pay the
rate, a controlling voice as members of the vestry, while at
the same time this privilege is denied them by another
clause. The more the latter is considered the more un-
reasonable will it appear. Suppose the vestry agree by •
majority to raise a voluntary rate for an expensive
organ, and one of them, thinking it unnecessary, de-
clines to give his voluntary contribution, why should
this incapacitate him from voting, the following
month, on an important proposal for altering the fabric!
The Times hopes that the House of Lords will see fit to
strike out this clause, or to amend it.
The only misgiving of the Daily Newa as to the conduct
of the Peers arises from the attitude assumed by members
of the government in the House of Common'. They have
betrayed an ill-will to the measure to which they dared
not give open expression. The division of Tuesday night,
insignificant in itself, is in one respect worthy of note. The
sneaking ill-will manifested by ministers in the Houle of
Commons m►y become open hostility in the House of
Lords, but the rejection of the compromise now offered is
certain to be followed next year by absolute and uncon-
ditional repeal.

To-night the Chancellor of the Exchequer will explain
to parliament the details of his measure for transferring
the telegraphs of the United Kingdom to the control of
the Post-office. In doing so, the Telegraph thinks he will
possess the immense advantage of proposing a step which
the nation is prepared to welcome ; he has only to lead,
not to shape, the course dictated by public opinion. By
the discussion which the subject has undergone, and by a
larger experienoe of the evils of the present system, the
way has been most e trectually cleared for a thorough change,
and that cheese will be accepted all the more re►dily in
proportion as it is radical and sweeping. The Tele-
graph estimates that a transfer of the stock, rights, and
goodwill of the four companies will not be obtained for less
than three millions sterling, sad this could be raised at an
annual charge of leu than 80,0001. The two leading die•
triot offices in the metropolis will naturally be selected as
central telegr►phic stations, while subordinate ones will be
established et all the district sorting and receiving came.
The same arrangement may be carried out in the leading
towns of the United Kingdom, and of mune eon•
noting wires would attach each to the other, and
all alike to the metropolitan centre. The smaller offices
scattered over London and the provinces may be used,
where there ere no wine, as plans of deposit far We-
graphic menages, giving the sender his choice of &ankh-
ing wholly by wire or partly by post. Even pillar boxes
may be utilised for the same purpose, and any Moony,-
Menai as to payment maybe obviated by the use of stamps.
The ordinary letter-carriers may in pert be employed as
messenger, though a servile of express centers ought of
course to be organised for special occasion and extra pay-
ment.

turns of 1861, lees than 12,000 inhabitants."

tralia be extended to Ireland, vii, resident assioeill sof-

be done, yet by the efforts of some enlightened MINI, and
by the pressure of foreign criticism, the Etonian govern-
ment hoc, by slow degrees, been brought to form some
dim conception of the theory of free teed* and of its prae-
ideal operation. The bureaucracy of St. Petersburg, how-
ever, have hitherto proved themselves altogether incapable
of making any use of their new lights, sad with every
desire to promote the imennantrial interests of their country
have ridiculously and ncisoldevously blundered in their
attempts.

The following is the text of the treaty jurt COO'
duci'vd between the United States and the Kin,'! of
Prussia, in the name of the Nnrth German Con
federation, concerning the rights of naturalised
citizens :

The Pte. Went of the United States and his Majesty the
King of Prossisy in the name of the North German Con-
federation, led by the wish to regulate the citizenship of
those persona who eanlgrate from the North Garman Con-
federation to the United States of America, and from the
United States of America to the territory of the North
German Confederation, have resolved to treat on this sub-
ject, and have for that purpose appointed plenipotentiaries
to conclude a convention ; that is to say, the Peraident of
the United States of America—George Bancroft, Envoy
ratreordlnary and Minister Plenipotentiary from mid
States to the King of Prussia and the North German
Confederation, and his Majesty, the King of Prarsia—
Bernhard Kos*, Privy Counsellor of Legation, who have
agreed to and signed the following articles:
Art. 1. Citizens of the North German Confederation
who become naturalised citizens of the United States
of America, and shall have resided uninterruptedly within
the United States five years, shall be held by the North
