IJIE 2ENURE OF OFFICE ACT.

apouomme
the many who flew into paroxysms of adulatioA
but he thought too highly of President GRANT DC/I
to believe he would avail himself of the oppoll
tunity to serve his country, whether that or
portunity came in the suspension or in the re'
peal of the Act. Senator SPRAGUE, who fol'
lowed, went for repeal. He thought that the
were too many lawyers in both Houses ; educated
in one line, with one range of ideas and experience+
and therefore incompetent to represent faithful!!
the diverse interests and necessities of the nation
Forty-five of the sixty-six Senators were lawyers ;
five of the remainder had received a legal educa'
tion, the rest being guided by the lawyell
and their teachings ; and even a worse state cl
things prevailed in the House. He was 13°
one of those who worshipped the political systcl
of the States, or attributed to it their great
material growth, which was due to slavery apd
immigration. Mr. SPRAGUE then denounced the
politicians who had aided to build up the two great
sections which eventually were pitted in conillet
against each other. All theirefforts were for "party,
not for the welfare of the people. He would favoilf
the repeal in any case, on the ground that if he muss
be subject to a tyranny he preferred that of a WM
with humanity in him holding a responsible posi'
tion to that of an irresponsible body like the Senate
Mr. NYE humorously defended the lawycre
Senator COIII3E-Iv would leave the PRESIDENT inr
trammelled, as he was a better judge of fitness that'
the Senate could be. The war against rebellioo
was a costly failure until one man was made so'
preme, when it became successful ; he would there'
fore repeal the law ; as would Mr. BAYARD, WY
showed the untenable position taken by those who
favoured suspension while believing the law to he
unconstitutional, by stating that the Senate had De
more right to divest itself of a constitutional power
than to usurp a power not granted by the constitty
tion. This finished the debate in the Senate up to
the departure of the mail. It is said that the pot
of Minister to England is one of those awaiting the
settlement of this question, and if so there must he,
a hitch in it, or we would have heard who GRANTIO
nomination before this. We know what emigre:4
had done, but we do not yet know what course the
PRESIDENT has taken, though it is certain that 111
very much dislikes the law. If he sanctions tht
modified law passed by Congress, we may expel
immediately to hear the name of Mr. REvEld
JonNsoN's successor.

THE BUDGET.

It is rumoured that Mr. Lowe, who makes his
financial statement on Thursday, will extend. the
assessed taxes to Ireland. In that case there will be
a row of true Hibernian vigour. And yet this exten-
sion would be nothing more than just. " Justice to
Ireland" involves, the Liberals assert, the &sesta;
blishment of the Irish Church. "Justice to Ireland"
involves also, they cannot help seeing, equal taxation
to that of England. It has been the policy of former
Governments to bribe Ireland into good humour by
certain handsome presents in the shape of immunity
from taxation ; and at the same time English ascen-
dancy tehne
sCrlehugrecihngantdo

try another tack, which at least deserves to succeed,
meanssta t
because it is essentially just. The ascendancy of the
few over the many is to be abolished ; but the many
while thus getting their rights, are, if rumour be
true, also to be called upon to fulfil their duties.
Sixteen years ago the income tax was extended to
Ireland. More recently the spirit duties have been
equalised.
The unfairness of the present system of taxation
has been clearly shcwn by the correspondent of a
contemporary. He says :" A friend of mine, having
an income of £1,500 per annum, lives in cicse
proximity to a fashionable square in which reside an
Irish archbishop, an Irish representative peer, an
Irishman who is a member for a place in
Ireland, and an Irishman member for a place in
England, in the enjoyment of incomes varying, let
m. e say, from £15,000 to £5,000 per annum, and
living accordingly. My friend pays assessed taxes
for brougham, horse, coachman, and footman, and
paid them without more than the ordinary amount
of grumbling, until he was informed that the several
equipages, horses, and retinue of his more fortunate
neighbours, to whom I have referred, were exempt
from similar taxation. When he mentioned the
matter to me at the club, I thought he must have
been misinformed ; but it is too true, for by dint of
Investigation in the library we find that the Act which
imposed the existing assessed taxes is the 16th and
17th Victoria, cap. 00, and that Schedule M to that
Act contains most elaborate provisions for insuring
such an exemption."

The directors draw special attention to the fact the t the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that'all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled Co participate
in the same. •
The directors also draw attemion to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

THE NORWICH CONVICT.

- -
The communication made to the Norwich magis-
trates, purporting to come from Mrs. Sheward, for
whose murder William Sheward is lying under sen-
tence of death, is rightly denominated strange. The
correspondent says that when she left her husband
she went to visit her first and only love. He was
dying. Before he died he made her promise
she would never return or discover herself to
Sheward: She will not come forward to exculpate
her husband whatever may take place. From all the
surrounding circumstances it seems most probable
that the letter is a hoax, a miserable one enough,
without a shade of fun, or an iota of good nature.
But the defence are trying to worm out the matter.
Mrs. Sheward did have a lover before she married—
one Worseltine, and Sheward is said to have told his
lawyers that his wife had gone with him; but the
defence say there was so little money to make
inquiries that nothing could be made of the matter
at the trial.

SUSPECTED MURDER.

A man, named Alfred Lawrence, was on Monday charged
at Sevenoaks with having caused the death of a woman'
unknown on the previous day.
The prisoner, a young
man, from the neighbourhood of Chatham, has hitherto
borne but a very indifferent chAacter, and he has lately
been employed as the driver
of a coal van, living at
a tramps' lodging-house at Dunton Green,
a hamlet
about three miles from Sevenoaks. The circum-
stances are that about half-past Fax
on Sunday
morning, as Frederick Sherry,
a fly-driver at
Riverhead, was passing from his home at Dunton
Green to that place, he saw the dead body of a woman on
the footpath at the side of the road. Around the body
there were indications of a severe struggle having taken
place, from the deeply indented foot impressions on the
road and path, and a quantity of lucifer matches, from the
sale of which the deceased woman appeared to have
obtained a living, being scattered about over a distance
of several yards. Sherry hastened to give informs.
tion to the county police. In the struggle
which had evidently taken place the deceased
woman had been very seriously handled, her clothes
were nearly all torn from her, and a piece of ter dress
was found over a fence in an adjoining field. There was
also a swelling above the left eye, the only visible mark of
violence on the body. The evidence against the prisoner
was that only a few hours before, just after midnight,
Sergeant Pope saw the deceased, who was in a state of
intoxication, leave a public-house in Riverhead with him,
and that he subsequently saw them within a quarter of a
mile of where the body was found. The prisoner
remarked to him that as they both lodged in the
same house he would take care of the woman, and
the officer seeing them going quietly together took
no further notice. The officers paid a visit to his
lodgings, where they found him in bed at 10 o'clock in the
morning. His clothes were wet and muddy, bearing the
appearance of having been drawn over the wet ground,
and when this was pointed out to him he could not
account for it, but said that he was at his lodgings at 11
o'clock the previous night, forgetting that it was after
midnight that he had spoken to the police-sergeant. He
was then charged in the usual way, but his reply was that
he knew nothing about it. Nothing whatever is known
of the deceased beyond that she had been in the neigh-
bourhood two or three days, and that she had said she
was a married woman, but that her husband, a cabman,
was living with another woman at Notting-hill. She
appeared to be from 35 to 40 years of age. The prisoner
was remanded.

THE AGRICULTURAL RETURNS.

Many grumbles have been raised of the incom-
pleteness and the untrustworthyness of the agricul-
tural returns. In the recent report of the Inland
Revenue complaints are made that the officers
who collet the returns are exposed to much insult
and annoyance in collecting the statistics. The reason
for this is pointed out by a contemporary. The time
selected for pursuing their investigations is when the
farmers are for the most part engaged in the hay
harvest, and are " very irritable when called upon by
a Government officer to leave their occupation for
the purpose of detailing to him the particulars of
their holditigs."
Would not, it is asked, the Somerset
House officials be rather irritable if in the busiest
hour of the day they were called from their rooms
to answer the questions of an inquisitive country
gentleman ? Under the circumstances it is probable
that the commissioners are correct in supposing that
the "r t suit of their officers' investigations can
scarcely be of much value."

THE CIVIL WAR IN JAPAN.

The foreign representatives of England, France, anti
Prussia at Jeddo have announced the termination of the
struggle between the North and the South. The Mikado's
victory is virtually acknowledged, and no hope remains
for the few belligerents yet in arms. TheJalan Heald,
in an explosion of nonsense about Japan now " pointing
with pride to this epoch of her history as a nation," says that
the lives of most of the vanquished princes have been
spared, though their lands have gone the way of all con-
quered territory. As to the Tycoon, the representative of
the side opposed to the Mikado, we hear nothing of him.
Formerly he abstained from all share in the fighting, but
held himself in readiness to share the spoil ; and doubtless
this noble policy has been continued to the end. In the
interests of commerce it is satisfactory to learn that the
war is at an end.

Extracts from the Reporl of the Directors, presented at
the Artual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings wore even less
than for many years past.
3. O❑ the other hand, the Income was raised to .£219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large snm paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the

Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the w'sole of
Life, where the age does not exceed .60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain

able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.

CLERICAL TROUBLES IN AUSTRIA.

A priest of Brejenz, in the Tyrol, was recently prose-
cuted on a charge of "exciting to hatred and contempt"
of the Government in the pulpit. Being acquitted, he
openly threatened to take his revenge upon those who had
borne witness against him. He kept his word. At the
very next sermon which be delivered he designated the
witnesses as liars and perjurers, and invited his congrega-
tion to say a pater on specia.l.
_behalf of these miserable
sinners. It appears that his denunciation did not
prevent others from appearing against him, for he was
sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment.

FOREIGN NOT.ES.,
THE ALABAMA CLAIM%
Mr. Francis Hincks, who for many years officiated
ii
the administration of Canada, adds his contributi4 to the
voluminous literature called forth by Mr. Sumner's speech.
In a letter to the Daily .7Vews he discusses the Clarendon-
Johnson treaty with considerable force, and proves pretty
clearly that, as has been before suspected, we have much
reason to rejoice at the rejection of the unfortunate
protocol which Mr. Sumner so roughly handled. The
general principle of negotiation followed by the British
Government was that all pecuniary claims arising
out of the depredations of the Alabama and other cruisers
might safely be submitted to arbitration, but that the
honour of this nation would not allow of foreign jndg.
meat upon the Queen's proclamation. It was, however,
extremely doubtful whether the treaty conclndel by Mr,
lleverdy Johnson did not contain a clause under which
damages might be claimed for the so-called premature
recognition of belligerency. 31r. Hincks invites inspez.
Con of the treaty. Article 1 provides for the reference of
all claims, "including the so-called Alabama claims,"
which have been presented and which remain unsettled.
This is in strict accordance with the preamble ; but it
proceeds--" as well al any other such claims which may
be presented within the ti me specified in Article 3;"
that is, within six months from the day of the first
meeting of the connnisi,ioners, 51110 may extend the time
still further. If the tre;:ty had been ratified, every mer-
chant or shopowner in the United States Height have pre-
sented claims for losses consequent on the proclamation of
belligerency, and there can be little doubt that such
claims would have been recognised by the United States,
and repudiated by the British commissioners. It would
then have been necessary to resort to an umpire, to decide
as to the construction of the treaty. Now, if the two
parties were unable to agree upon an umpire, the treaty
provided that each should choose one, and then the final
choice should be decided by lot. So that, after all, the
reference of the great question which we so indignantly
refused to refer—the recognition of the South's belliger.
ency—depends upon the tossing up of a halfpenny.
It is plain that Mr. Seward accepted the treaty because
he foresaw that the belligerency question might be brought
in by this clause. And yet hlr. Sumner advocated the
rejection by the Senate because, in his opinion, the
damages arising from the recognition of the South were not
provided for. According to Mr. Ilincks's reasoning, they
were provided for but too well ; and we may thank our
stars for Mr. Sumner's kindness in rejecting an agreement
which admitted more than was intended. Whether the
belligerency question ever will be submitted to an arbiter
is a question which should not, as we have previously
argued, be decided too hastily. But if we do concede this
much, we ought to make the admission with our eves
oven.

FREE TRADE V. PROTECTION.

The Free Trade agitation in the United States is visibly
gaining strength. If the Tribune be excepted, not a
single New York journal of importance now advocates
Protection. The New York Evening Post, a staunch
Republican journal, announces that the Republics. 4
party is to be the future Free Trade party
of the country, and that it has been for years
struggling to free itself from the "Protectionist tail."
The New York Times has become a semi-convert. It
believes that it is impossible to establish Free Trade pure
and simple in the United States ; but it goes heartily in
favour of greatly reducing the import duties, and it there.
fore commends the efforts of Mr. Garrison and other&
The doings of the Protectionists, too, are not improving
their position. The mine-owners of Pennsylvania recently
got up a strike amongst their own workmen for the ex-
press purpose of increasing the price of coals. This flag!.
tious proceeding has caused a great outcry against the
prohibitory duties on foreign coal.
