LONDON, SA7URDAY, FEB. 27, 18G9.

The Duke of ARGYLL has had a field-night to
himself, and on the whole came off with flying
colours. At first sight the proposal to bring in a
Bill to deal with Scottish Education was strange, and
people were inclined to say that the Government had
determind to fill the rich with good things, and to
send the hungry empty away. A little reflection
showed us, however, that there was more reason in
their resolution than appeared at first sight, for to
settle the complicated question of English Education
was quite impossible in the present Session, but 0
amend and improve the Scottish system was within
the limits of capability. In some respects we may
say that good service has been done to the cause of
progress among ourselves, for the speech of the Duke
has enforced attention to the peculiarities of the
system which has prevailed in Scotland, and a feel-
ing of emulation, if not of envy, may be fairly
aroused when we read and understand how immea-
surably superior our friends north of the Tweed are
to ourselves in this respect. There is no reason wby
the English, as a nation, should be so culpably indif-
ferent to education, but so it is, and their only
chance of improvement will be to admit their errors
and seek to rectify their deficiencies rather than to
conceal them or to deny their significance. The Duke
of ARGYLL was well qualified to deal with the sub-
ject of Scotch education, and he succeeded in im-
pressing the House of Lords with his thorough ac-
quaintance with the matter, and his earnest endea-
vour to improve the prevailing system, if he did not
altogether convince them of the soundness of his
scheme or of the accurncy of his deductions. Per-
haps we have been shutting our eyes too much
to the defects of the Scottish plan, on ac-
count of its vast superiority to our own. No
man can study the subject as set forth by the
Duke without seeing that some care is required to
adapt the scheme to the requirements of the present
day. The secret of the shortcomings may be said to
lie in the fact that the original plan of the system
has not changed, while the places to whichitr
refers
have done so most nn,st considerably. For genera-
tions the law of Scotland has enforced compulsory
rating for the support of education, but for some
time the towns and cities have outgrown the
parochial system,
inshoerxntenotf
its value, as it is circumscribed
It will be remembered that the Duke of ARGYLL was
the Chairman of the Royal Commission which was
appointed to inquire into E Jucation and its general
requirements, and this furnished him with still better
opportunit:es for judging of the case in a compre-
hensive spirit. So far as the general principles of
this bill under consideration are concerned we cannot
see that any complaint can be justly made, and as

Mr. GOSCHEN, in his endeavour to spare the
Opposition the necessity of acknowledging a blunder,
has asked the House of Commons to sanction a
veryintricate
bythis time piecee of the hardships inflicted of legislation. Everybody
upon
dyhoas
heard
the poorer class of householders by the only sur-
vivor of Mr. DISRAELI'S ten principles. The present
Government did their best to warn the Conserva-
tives of the mischief which they were inflicting, and to
prevent it. But Mr. GLADSTONE failed in the attempt.
The warnings were abundantly fulfilled. Five
thousand distress warrants to recover rates have been
issued in Birmingham alone. In the East-end of
London special arrangements had to be made to
dispose of the claims for discharge, so enormous was
tke number of persons who found themselves unable
to pay at the same time the rates and the
old rent, which included the rates, but
which the landlords refused to reduce. Not only
did Mr. DISRAELI'S device prove intolerably harsh,
but it entirely failed in the very object for which it
was said to be instituted. When the law came to be
interpreted it was found that the tenant might, if he
chose, make the landlord his agent for paying the
rates without disqualifying himself as a voter. In a
word, the "personal payment of rates," which was
the one immutable principle of the English Reform
Bill (Mr. DISRAELI did not go through the farce of
insisting upon it for the Scotch and Irish Reform
Bills), wasfound to have vanished directly it came to be
applied. All this trouble and turmoil, all this intoler-
able hardship inflicted upon many thousands of persons
in order to give the 300 and odd gentlemen who
supported Mr. DISRAELI a flimsy pretext for adopting
the suffrage which they abhorred, were, it must now
be admitted by themselves, intended for that purpose
solely. This selfishness was fitly punished. The
Conservatives who might have claimed the gratitude
of the newly-enfranchised electors for bringing them
within the pale of the Constitution found only cold
looks and angry words. The Liberal party promised
to amend the law if the people would entrust them
with the power to do so. The people responded,
the Liberals came back to office, and within ten days
from the opening of the session they have brought
in the measure intended to effect the desired object.
The manner in which the Government proposes to
fulfil its pledge reflects great credit upon its forbear-
ance. It has no desire to renew the strifes of the last
two years, or to win an easy victory over a routed
foe. Thus Mr. GOSCHEN has introduced a measure so
complex that we do not believe the House of
Commons will have the patience to consider it
when there is a much simpler way of solving
the difficulty. It is highly significant that the
proposal to resort to this, the real solution—the
restoration of the compound householder—should
have come from the Conservative benches. Mr.
GOLDNEY was probably too shrewd to have ever
been taken in by Mr. DISRAELI'S "principle." At all
events he sees that it has failed, and he is too sincere
a man to wish the continuance of a troublesome
sham merely in order that a few gentlemen's feelings
may not be wounded. Mr. GROSVENOR HODG-
KINSON became for a few days the hero of the time
by proposing to abolish the compound householder.
Mr. GOLDNEY may attain to celebrity of longer
duration by restoring him.

THE British Embassy Secretary at Washington
has just drawn up a concise and trustworthy account
of the condition of the United States. The docu-
ment is instructive, and is published at an opportune
moment. It may be read with advantage by the
slightly-restive men of Manchester ; and at a time
when the Anglo-French Treaty must soon come under
consideration, the French people might profitably
consider this lucid statement of the causes by which
the prosperity of a great nation may be undermined.
They may here see how ingeniously and perfectly
the most overflowing natural riches have been
rendered comparatively useless; how admirably a
State, in attempting to secure to itself the whole
benefit of its wealth, may injure its neighbour much,
and its own people more. There can be no doubt
that the condition of the United States is far from
satisfactory, and there can be equally little question
as to the causes which have led to this suspension of
prosperity. Some of these causes were unavoidable ;
others are directly attributable to persistent adherence
to an unsound policy. Though nearly four years have
elapsed since the termination of the civil war, its
effects are still severely felt : the nation is crippled
by a colossal debt and burdened by a ruinous load of
taxation. The interest on the national obligations
now amounts to very nearly one-half of the entire
expenditure. For the financial year 1867-8 the
entire expenditure fell short of 62 millions sterling,
whilst the interest and premium of the debt absorbed
above 20 millions of this total. At the close of the war
the whole burden amounted to COO millions ster-
ling, of which not less than one-sixth has been paid off
during the last four years. Recently, however,
the work of reduction has been checked, and the debt
has again risen somewhat, owing to that great
enterprise, the Pacific railroad, and that great folly,
the purchase of Russian America. This incubus
of debt is the price which has been paid
for the preservation of the Union. No sound
