TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As the working classes have reason to
complain that they will not be fully represented
by the proposed extension of the franchise, I would
suggest that they, and all who will be ineligible to
vote under the new Reform Bill, should (as half a
loaf is better than none) have representatives of
their own these representatives to be elected
through the medium of the ballot, and styled
" Members for England," " Scotland," or " Ireland,'
one or more to each division.

This plan would, I think, obviate much of the
ill-feeling now existing, and give a partial trial to
the Ballot, without with these classes could not be
really represented, and the power granted them
would prove a " sham."—Believe me to be, Sir,
your obedient servant,
CHARLES JONES, M.D.

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

Some months ago the Univers astounded the
world with the most circumstantial description of
an atrocious crime committed by some Jews of
Fokchany, in Wallachia. They had seized on a
Christian lad and had subjected him to the most
horrible martyrdom before putting him to death.
The statement of the Univers was too impor-
tant to be passed over in silence by the Wal-
lachian authorities, who consequently appointed
a commission to investigate the matter.
This commission, which comprised dele-
gates from the French, English, Austrian'
Prussian, and Russian consulates at Bucha-
rest, and a Wallachian deputy, has concluded
its labours and published a report, which proves
the assertions of the Univers to be entirely false.
As the Debuts remarks :—" Nothing shows that
the Jews had been even suspected of the crime im-
puted to them. It would appear, on the contrary,
that the suspicions of the authorities had been
directed towards a member of the family to which
the murdered child belonged. The report of the
medical men on the corpse does not mention any of
the signs of martyrdom recorded by the Univers
and the Bien Public of Ghent."
