mittee. IVe should have preferred that the £lO
limit ha d. been preserved, more especially as it has
given satisfaction in perspective ; but the point is
not a vital one, and even as it now stands
it goes some way in the right direc-
tion. Lord CAIRNS had another triumph in his
proposal concerning the occupants of rooms in halls
and colleges being admitted as voters. This met
with strong opposition in some quarters, but was
eventually carried by a majority of 48.
On the whole, we may say that the Government
was successful last night, and, despite the great dis-
advantages which they laboured under through the
absence of Lord DERBY, they had nothing practi-
cally to complain of. In the great question at
issue—the motion of Lord HALlFAX►—Ministers
gained a decided majority, and all the other decisions
were iti conformity with what the members of the
Cabinet approved of, if they did not propose them.
It cannot be said that these successes were attained
without a struggle, for hard fights were waged, and
throughout the course of the debate the leaders of
the Opposition displayed a bitterness of feeling and
a party spirit little to their credit, and certainly not
conducive to their triumph. We should have wished
to see these absent, for they were quite out of place
on so momentous a question. The worst is now over,
at any rate, for the House of Lords has very plainly
shown that it will not tolerate the devices of fac-
tion, and condemn for the sake of condemning.
Some changes in the measure during its passage
through Committee are likely to be expected, and
perhaps desired, but let them be undertaken in a
straightforward spirit, and in an open manner.
Abstract resolutions are mischievous attempts to
destroy thebill, and we rejoice to find that they have
been thrown out on two occasions. Faction has had
its chance, and failed. Let the opponents of the
Government then be content at having had the op-
portunity afforded to them of expressing their
opinions, and let them no longer figure before the
public in the ungracious character of Marplota, for
they may be assured that their offences will not be
overlooked, and that the sin of opposing this popu-
lar measure will be laid to their charge hereafter
when and where they may least expect it to be
remembered.

The House of Commons has expressed the com
mon sense of the public by rejecting Mr. LOCKE'S
motion by a decisive majority. As the Chancellor
of the Exchequer very justly observed the question
before the House was not one of detail, but of gene-
ral principle. They had to decide whether or no
the parks of London were to be kept for the pur-
pose for which they were intended—the recreation
of the people. It is a question with which, in fact,
political feeling has nothing to do. Street preachers
are quite as much concerned in it as the Reform
League ; the London Arabs are more deeply in-
terested than the Chartist or the social philosopher.
The real nature of these monster meetings in Hyde-
park is easily discernible. The first of them was
held in 1855 on the occasion of the introduction of
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR'S Sunday Trading Bill.
That bill was very ill advised, and most unpopular.
Like all such arbitrary regulations it completely
ruined its object, and irritated the lower classes
into asking why the upper ten thousand
should make their servants work on the Sunday
without let or hindrance. They determined to hold
monster meetings in Hyde Park, knowing it to be
the fashionable place of resort on Sunday afternoon,
and for several weeks they carried on a sys-
tem of intimidation—hooting and pelting the
occupants of carriages. The Bill was finally
abandoned, but tho working classes might safely
have trusted to the good sense of the House
of Commons, the Press, and the public
generally to have thrown it out without such riotous
proceedings. The real end of the Reform meetings
was much the same. The leaders meant them as a
threat to the upper classes. Happily we have no
need to look to such men for protecting our popular
rights. Public meetings aro most valuable, and
can never be put down while England is what it is,
but the massacre of the beautiful gardens which
furnish so pleasant a resort to thousands is a very
unnecessary part of political discussion.

Mr. STEVENS has yet another plan for the solu-
tion of the great problem of American politics.
We learn from the intelligence brought by the City

of Paris, dated July 18, that the Radical leader has
introduced a bill providing for the government of

the South by three Civil Commissioners, to be ap-
pointed by Congress, and to be independent of
Presidential, military, or judicial control. In short,
these three men are to be in their way dictators,

and their appointment, should it come to pass, will
be the beginning of the end of American Republican
Government. The Radical party in the Lower
House is quite reckless enough to support this pro-
posal, manifestly unconstitutional though it be, and

very likely Mr. STEVENS himself would have no
objection to filling one of the posts thus created.
Naturally enough, the House of Representatives

not hitherto shown themselves to be such discreet
financiers that we should accept their estimate as
the most trustworthy. The Supplementary Bill
still remains the subject of active contention.
The President returned the bill to Congress with
the expected veto, giving reasons against it which,
to an unprejudiced observer, must appear unanswer-
able. He shows the inconsistency of the course
pursued by Congress. It had assumed the Southern
States Governments to be illegal, yet had ordered
the military commanders to appoint officials to carry
on those Governments. It had repeatedly recog-
nised the existence of the Southern States since the
rebellion by calling upon them to ratify the amend-
ments abolishing slavery, and other matters of the
kind, while the Supreme Courts had recog-
nised them by holding district courts. Yet
after all this Congress proceeds on the assump-
tion that the Southern States have no recog-
nised existence. Mr. JOHNSON resents, as he-well
may do, the encroachments of the Congress upon
his authority, which he declares to be unconstitu-
tional and opposed to his oath of office. As might
have been confidently expected, Congress imme-
diately passed the bill over the veto by 30 votes
against 6 in the Senate, and by 100 to 22 in the
House of Representatives. During the debate the
Radicals showed their old virulence by renewing the
demand for impeachment. They have found, too,
other 'nevus of manifesting their bitter hostility
towards the man who so steadily and unflinch-
ingly exposes the danger and illegality of
their schemes. On the principle that persons
usually judge others by themselves, they are con-
stantly searching for some ulterior, selfish end in
every act of the PRESIDENT'S. The House of Re-
presentatives has passed a resolution demanding an
inquiry into the pardon of the Confederate General
CAMERON. The preamble of the resolution declared
that the PRESIDENT had showed sympathy with the
assassins of Mr. LINCOLN by pardoning General
CAMERON, and thus increasing his credibility as a
witness in SURRATT'S trial. This insult, however,
was thought too great, and the preamble was
struck out.
