SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Tim ES.—if statistics could settle the question-of
Reform, it ought to have been long since disposed
of and aid aside. We have had Blue-book after
Blue-book, and Parliamentary papers upon Parlia-
mentary papers, ex' ibiting the effect, as might be
supposed, of all possible alterations viewed in all pos-
sible lights. The present Government have nut been
so prodigal of figures as their predecessors in office,
and bystanders striving to be charitable have, in
fact, felt some difficulty at times in resisting the
impression that all the short-lived proposals of
which they have been sponsors were mere guesses
made blindfold, but the deficiencies of the Admi-
nistration have been nude up by the assiduity of
private members. Every man who has his own solu-
tion of the pending difficulty moves for a return
setting it forth in a statistical form, and the embar-
rassment occasioned by these multitudinous rows
of figures has not been lessened by a suspicion that,
like supernumeraries at a theatre, the same facts
are constantly presented to our view, dressed up
after a slightly different fashion. This endless
series of details has become oppressive, and part of
the good effect produced by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer last Tuesday was, perhaps, occasioned
by the relief he promised, or seemed to promise, to
overburdened members when he declared that the
Government had sought to solve the difficulty of
enfranchisement without minutely scanning the
numbers who might be enfranchised. Mr. Disraeli's
declaration that figures wdre, after all, of no great
importancemis verychearing-, but perhaps it was
too goal to be true. Mr. Gladstone's inquiries last
night implied a mistrust of' other parts of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech, which it was,
perhaps, no more than the duty of the Leader of the
Opposition to express, though in this case we be-
lieve it to have been unnecessary. With one excep-
tion, the concessions made by Mr. Disraeli could
not be evaded, even were there a desire to recede
from them. It may please him to be mysterious in
his answers to questions, but the result will not be
affected by his mystery. lie has abandoned the
Dual Vote. The reduction of the County Qualifi-
cation will 'be frankly made if a promise to co-operate
with the House means anything; and the Lodger
Franchise will be secured by the insertion of a clause
which any one could carry. There is but one part of
the Reform problem which is not yet settled, and we
fear cannot be settled without some reference to
wearisome statistics. It is the Borough Franchise.
Every other difficulty has been cleared away, and this
difficulty, too, will doubtless be overcome in the pre-
sent temper of the House of Commons, but it is not
yet overcome. It must be faced, and the current
week, or so much of it as the Budget will leave at
the elisposal of Methbers, r might be:, profitably
vofeitto,,arri;kattainatic% pf thaJilearra of meeting it;
The pieeesa-,ivill dae made easier by first examining,:
the 'means which will, not serve the purpose of Par-
liament. A return presented on Saturday gives the
last stroke to the abandoned £6 rating franchise,
the adoption of which at any time Mr. Gladstone
himself, much as he may regret the " ten minutes"
bill, must confess to have been altogether impos-
sible. It appears that the total number of such occu-
piers assessed at a rateable value of above £6 in the
borough constituencies of England and Wales is
750,071. We know also that the total number of
male occupiers at £lO rental and upwards is 639,043.
The total number of electors which might by possi-
bility be added to the register by substituting the
one qualification for the other would, therefore, be
111,028; but as, in fact, out of the 639,043 £lO
occupiers no more than 451,699 have their names
placed on the register, and the proportionate num-
ber of perasns nominally qualified who fail to get on
the list increases as the value of the qualification
diminishes, it would be a liberal estimate to believe
that the enfranchisement of occupiers rated above
£6 would add 70,000 electors to the borough con-
stituencies. Even if we added those rates at £6—a
number not included in Saturday's return, but ob-
tainable elsewhere--the total of new electors who
would probably reach the register would not exceed
100,000. If it were worth while to descend to de-
tails, it could be shown that the number thus added
would be found in the small country boroughs, and
the electors in all metropolitan constituencies, and
most of the large towns, would experience no ap-
preciable change. It ie unnecessary, however, to
pur.n. Ruch •Axaminstion. b...4...(1 prujent,
finding favour with a section of the House of Com-
mons, is to accept the household rating franchise
proposed by the Government shorn of the cheeks of
personal payment of rates and additional residence.
We may observe, by the way, that it is doubtful, on
the legal construction of the Government bill,
whether the necessity of inhabiting the whole of a
separate building, which Mr. Gladstone deprecated
as a third check, is really required by it. The
effects of a rating franchise pure and simple, with-
out any security for the payment of rates except
through the landlord, were thoroughly examined by
the Lords' Committee in 1859, on the influence of
the Small Tenements Act on municipal elections ;
and it is only necessary to refer to the evidence
given before the committee to acquire a know-
ledge of its working more complete than satisfac-
tory. The lords, without a division, arrived at the
conclusion that, " as a test of fitness to take part
in municipal affairs, as well as a security against
corrupt and fraudulent practices, actual, direct, and
continuous payment of rates should be the indis-
pensable condition of the municipal suffrage." If
we understand, however, Mr. Gladstone's position
aright, he would shrink from an unfettered house-
hold rating suffrage as much as, if not more than,
members sitting on the Conservative benches, and
his objections to the checks incorporated by the
Administration in their bill are founded on the
arbitrary and capricious manner in which he sup-
poses they would operate. He would himself sug-
gest a definite limit, and, deferring to the house,
a rating limit, below which the rates should uni-
versally be paid by owners instead of occupiers,
and down to which enfranchisement should be car-
ried. Ratepaying clauses he would altogether
abolish. The arguments against this scheme are
obvious, and, we think, conclusive. It is plain
that a £5 rating limit is the highest that could be
fixed upon them, and we should have householders
above and householders below that limit not pay-
ing their rates, and, in fact, differing in no sub-
stantial respect save that an arbitrary law divides
them, and one is chosen to be a Parliamentary voter
and the other left. The distinction is not sufficiently
reasonable to be permanent. If the personal payment
of rates is not to be required from the voter, how
can his neighbour be excluded because he does not
pay rates ? Lord Grosvenor avoids this difficulty by
his propsal that the Small Tenements Act should
be made universal in application at a£s rating
limit, and that all householders rated at and above
that sum should be bound to pay their own rates.
Ratepaying and the franchise would in that case go
hand in band. Where the one was found there
would be the other also, and where rates were not
paid the franchise would not be given. The old scot-
and-lot franchise would, in fact, be revived, with a
limitation adapted to the circumstances of modern
life. But the difficulty of carrying out such a pro-
posal would be almost insuperable. It may not be
impossible to make the Small Tenements Act apply
everywhere in respect of houses rated at £5 and
under, but we cannot suppose such a violent change
as would be involved in the administration of our
parochial system by taking out of the operation of
the Act and similar local Acts all householders rated
above that limit. We put aside with some reluc-
tance a suggestion which has much to recommend
it ; nor can we find in Mr. Poulet Scrope's sugges-
tion to exempt from rates both owners and occu-
piers of the lowest class of houses sufficient to
counterbalance the reasons against eleemosynary
legislation. We fall back on the Government pro-
posal to enfranchise rated householders personally
paying their rates, and we ask whether it is true
that under the operation of the Small Tenements
Act the enfranchisement thus conferred would
operate capriciously and arbitrarily. Mr. Glad-
stone quoted last week a valuable return to
show the disparity between the numbers which
would be admitted to the franchise where the
Small Tenements Act bad been adopted, and where ,
it was not in force. He assumed that all male
occupiers within the £6 rating limit would be
excluded in the boroughs under the Act, and that
all male occupiers whatever would get on the
register in the boroughs not under the Act, and he
dwelt on the absurdity of allowing a local vestry to
determine whether householders should be enfran-
chised by tens or by hundreds. A return, abstracted
in the electoral returns of last year, refutes Mr.
Gladstone's essential assumption. Before the pass-
ing of the Small Tenements Act the direct payment
of rates by the householder was a necessary qualifi-
cation of the municipal franchise, and by comparing
the number of burgesses with the number of occu-
piers in any borough before the adoption of the Act
we can ascertain the proportion of occupiers who
failed to qualify as burgesses, and who would fail
to qualify as Parliamentary electors, from non-
payment of rates. We find that Mr. Gladstone's
hypothetical disparity disappears. The proportion
of occupiers failing to qualify is nearly the same as
the proportion the small Tenements Act would ex-

chide, and the vote of the vestry adopting the Act
would enact as a rule what had before been the
practical result. The Small Tenements Act, by
doing away with the necessity of the personal pay-
ment of rates, raised the number of municipal bur-
gesses in the boroughs where it was adopted from
101,000 to 251,000; or, in other words, out of
254,000 householders otherwise qualified no more
than 101,000 paid their own rates and were placed
on the municipal register. The prima facie objec-
tion grounded on the assumed variability of enfran-
chisement vanishes, and all further argument on the
subject is met by the provision in the bill enabling
any householder to claim to be rated, as explained by
Mr. Hardy. The President of the Poor-law Board
declared it to be the intention of the Government
that the occupier claiming to be rated should be
enabled to deduct the rates he paid from his rent,
and, although the clause to which he referred would
not carry out this intention, we may assume
that the alterations necessary for the purpose will
be brought forward by the Government. If this be
done, and the inevitable corollary be adopted that
the rate to be paid by the occupier making his
claim to be rated shall be no more than the com-
pounded rate paid by the landlord, all pretence of a
fine on the enjoyment of the franchise will be swept
away, and no more will be demanded of the occupier
than the proof of responsibility involved in a readi-
ness to meet the tax(ratherer as well as the landlord,
and the minimum a trouble occasioned by the
necessity, under which compound occupiers above
£lO now labour, to claim to be rated. Subject to
certain simple alterations the Borough Franchise
proposed by the Administration seems convenient
and eligible. There is no reason why longer resi-
dence should be required from the occupier of a
house below £lO annual value than from a £lO oc-
cupier, and the unwise attempt to make a distinc-
tion in this respect, if not prudently abandoned at
poweronee, t o
ought
deductto b a
t ecommittee.from
the land-
lord's ri
rent will of course be clearly given, and the
rates exigible from the compound householder can-
not be higher than the compound rates. The
re given
s, when up
paid,in
diversity of definition of the qualifying tenement
heunder the bill and under the existing law would
probably prove nugatory in practice, and may be
prudently reconsidered. It may be doubted whether
the necessity of making a continued claim is of any
real value, while it certainly provokes much irrita-
tion. These are, however, the incidental circum-
stances of a ratepaying franchise. The franchise is
in itself simple ; it is a test of responsibility ; it is
elastic, and when fairly carried out will operate, as
Mr. Gladstone very happily expressed it last week,
like a law of "natural selection," bringing on the
register every onp who is ready to prove his personal
I:fitireas'for-the trust. It will be the.- Work of the
,ItOtA're Of. . 'Commons next week to remove the defects
apparent in the machinery sketched out in the bill
-of the Administration ; but the idea of the bill will
probably receive its sanction, and be enacted in the
Reform Act of 1867.

Serious Irish Riots on St. Patrick's Day.

(From the Correspondent of the Morning Herald.)
NEW YORK, March 20.

" What shall we do with these Irish ?" is the
question that every native American hereabout is
asking of himself or of his neighbour. The riots and
outrages in this city on Monday were the last turn
of the screw. The insolence of " our Irish fellow-
citizens" has at last become intolerable. Throughout
the whole city there exists on the part of the Ame-
ricans a feeling of indignation against the Irish,
more bitter than any that has ever heretofore had
place. Not even after the riots of 1863, or during
the hottest period of the Know-nothing excitement,
was there so general a sentiment of dislike or de-
testation for the Irish portion of our population as
there is at the present time. Some of the bloody
scenes of Monday fell under the observation of
your correspondent. Coming from Brooklyn to
New York at one o'clock, and passing through
Grand-street, in this city, his attention was ar-
rested by the evident signs of disorder prevailing
among the thousands of people throning- that
thoroughfare and the neighbouring streets and lanes.
By published order the various societies of Hiber-
nians, Sons of Temperance, Longshoremen, and the
like, had been instructed to assemble in the triangle
formed by the junction of East Broadway and
Grand-street, there to break into procession. At the
time that your correspondent reached this point the
marshals and officers of the society were be-
ginning to form the procession. This work,
owing to the drunkenness of the "patriots," was one
of great difficulty ; in fact, the triangle was filled
by a yelling, boisterous mob, which had shut up the
entrances to the numerous diverging streets
and forbidden the passage not only only of
vehicles but of pedestrians. Your correspondent's
attention was first directed to a truck standing near
the entrance of Pitt-street. This was surrounded
by a crowd. A man stood upon the truck, gesti-
culating wildly, and pointing in various directions.
Finally this man seized the reins and endeavoured
to drive down Pitt-street. In an instant a violent
commotion began ; stones were thrown at the ad-
venturous driver ; swords flashed, staves were bran-
dished. The driver was either pulled off or knocked
off the truck. He was at once set upon by the mob,
stabbed, beaten, kicked, and rolled in the mud and
snow. A policeman appeared, swinging his club.
He seized the unfortunate truckman, and endea-
voured to draw him upon the cart. Ile in turn
was knocked down, beaten, and stabbed. Another
policeman appeared, to be served in the same brutal
way. Another and still another officer rushed into
the midst of the crowd—each in turn to be stabbed,
beaten, and trampled upon. At last some of the
injured policemen managed to gain a footing upon
the truck, and to ply their clubs upon the heads of
the mob. For a moment this battle continued; then
the truck, seized by a hundred brawny hands, was
tipped over, and the policemen thrown sprawling
upon the ground. Here they were again set upon
and most frightfully beaten. One by one, other
officers appeared. The alarm was conveyed to the
nearest station-house, and telegrams were sent to
all the precincts. Unfortunately, the officers were
compelled to straggle in ; there could be little of
concert of action among them. As each blue-coat
approached it was swallowed up by the mob. Thus
22 policemen in all were terribly wounded. At
last a detachment of police advanced in solid
phalanx, marching down Grand-street upon the
rioters. The mob instantly scattered, and in two
minutes the ground was clear, save where dotted
by the bodies of the unfortunate guardians of
the public peace. Thera they lay, fifteen of
them, too badly wounded to stand erect. Four
sat on the kerbstone washing their bleeding
heads in the muddy stream of the gutter. Two sat
on a neighbouring doorstep, the blood streaming
from their wounds, and flowing across the flagging.
One hung half insensble to an awning-post ;another
leaned against a lamp-post. For the space of 50
feet either way the muddy snow was daubed with
blood. Blood was everywhere ; on the ash-boxes, I
on the coal-boxes, on the shutters of the grocer's
windows, on the steps of the lodging-house, on the
flagging, on the inverted truck. A bloody sword
projected from a box of garbage. Bloody frag-
ments of staves and batons were scattered about,
showing that the marshals of the Irish societies had
been the leaders of the riot. The wounded police-
men were borne to the nearest station-house, pass-
ing in long and bloody procession through the
streets, a trail of blood telling to the following
crowd the route they had taken. In a short time
the procession in Grand-street was formed, and the
Irish moved toward the central portion of the city.
At the point of junction of East Broadway with
Chatham-square a policeman endeavoured to arrest
a disorderly " Son of Temperance." Thereupon a
burly Irishman, mounted on a powerful horse,
charged at the officer, striking him across the head
with a heavy sabre. The officer pluckily attacked
this ruffian, and finally captured him. lle was
taken to the station-house, where it transpired that
his name was Clark, and that he was a marshal of
one of the societies of the "Ancient Order of Hi-
berniaus." Numerous other outrages were com-
mitted during the day. Several horses were stabbed,
cut, or frightfully beaten. Numerous peaceable
citizens were assaulted. The driver of one of the
