A return recently issued by the Poor-Law Board
contains some valuable statistics to guide us in our
legislation for our vast army of paupers. It shows
us that in England and Wales, exclusive of the
metropolis, there were on the Ist of July, 1867, no
less than 96,079 paupers in the workhouses. Even
allowing for the long continued depression of trade,
which has naturally pressed heavily on the poorer
classes, the high prices of provision during the last
two years, and other exceptional causes of distress,
the amount of pauFerism among us is something
startling. It is surely worth while to inquire
what class of persons furnishes the larger pro-
portion of inmates, and how it is that they
are sufficiently wanting in self-respect to prefer the
miserable dependence of the pauper to the honest
industry of the working man or woman. The first
figures which meet us on our analysis are somewhat
surprising. Of these 96,079 paupers, 3,060 of the
men and 9,200 of the women were able-bodied, or,
in other words, just about one-eighth of this large
mass of poverty should have been self-supporting,
and the remaining seven-eighths were thrown upon
the charity of their fellows for support by sick-
ness, old age, infancy, imbecility, or other causes
beyond their own control. We were most of us
aware from frequent reiteration of the fact by
persons who have made it their business to explore
these prison-like hospitals that the term workhouse
had become a misnomer, but probably few were
actually acquainted with the real state of the case.
Of the adults included in the grand sum total,
46,853 were not ablebodied, 8,372 were lunatics
and imbecile; 36,966 were children under 16,
29,178, or nearly one-third of the whole of the in-
mates,were on the medical relief books, and of these
more than 4,000 were acute cases. Nearly 7,000
more were aged and infirm, and 9,935 were
chronic cases, while 6 more required extra diet
only. On the Ist of last January another census
was made, when the numbers were of course
proportionately higher than in the previous July.
There were then in our English workhouses
119,905 persons; 7,373 of the men, and 12,510 of
the women being able-bodied ; 56,764 adults were
not able-bodied ; 8,754 being imbecile or lunatic ;
43,278 were children under 16. The same sad
items figure in the list—age and infirmity, chronic
disease, fever and zytnotic cases, and cases requir-
ing extra diet only. With these statistics before
us we may well ask whether our whole workhouse
system is not based upon a mistake; and whether,
when we pride ourselves upon the excellence of our
free hospitals, we are sufficiently mindful of the
vast army of sufferers in mind and body who
drag out their dreary days within the walls of the
parish workhouse. Every humane man would
shrink from the thought of neglecting or ill-using
the helpless and suffering ; but neglect and ill-
usage are too common unless more than ordinary
vigilance is exercised. One radical fault is the sys-
tem of pauper nursing. The able-bodied females
in the workhouses are, as a rule, most unfavourable
specimens of their class. Some of them, of course,
are driven there by stress of misfortune, by the
care of a family, &c. ; but very often they are
drunken and degraded, and very willing to ac-
cept the office of nurse for the sake of the extra
allowance, the better rations, and other small
advantages. One of these women takes charge of
a whole ward, containing perhaps forty or fifty
beds. The best trained, most untiring, and expe-
rienced nurse might well fail to discharge her duties
adequately in such circumstances, but a woman
whose ignorance is only equalled by her indiffer-
ence is certain to neglect her charges. Yet many
painful cases of lingering and chronic disease, of
crippling rheumatism, so common among the poor,
of paralysis, of cancer, of bad legs, and a dozen
other of the ills which flesh is heir to, are driven to
the workhouse infirmary for shelter, and to them
kind and skilful nursing offers the only chance
of ease or alleviation. In many work
houses the rules for admitting visitors are
needlessly strict and exclusive, so that the sufferer's
friends and relations, if he has any, are precluded
from anything like attend ince upon him. In
many places extra comforts are not allowed to be
brought in, and where they are the pauper nurse
is apt to take her tithe. Paid and duly qualified
nurses are the first necessity among fifty thousand
patients, not ablebodied, and their employment
should no longer be kept optional to any board of
guardians. We want in all these establishments

The EMPEROR'S fete has passed off favourably,
and this is fortunate under the circumstances, as
anxiety prevailed in many quarters respecting public
feeling. Although, strictly speaking, the 15th of
August is not the fete of the present EMPEROR, it
will always be looked upon as virtually so ; and the
notion obtains favour from combining the recollec-
tions of the past with the associations of the pre-
sent. The illuminations in the evening of Saturday
were most brilliant, and crowds thronged the
Boulevards, enjoying the animated scene. Most
fortunately the weather was favourable, and the rain
held off till the night was advanced. 'The seasonable
change was welcomed by those who had long suffered
from the intense heat ; but, of course, general satis-
faction prevailed that the grand display of the pre-
vious day had not been spoiled by the adverse
influence of unpropitious weather. So far as we
can judge just now it appears that all has gone
well. The EMPEROR has forwarded to the Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief his acknowledgments of the
services of those present at the review, and the
gratification he felt at their soldierly appearance in
the field and their fine attitude ; and, as in duty
bound, the Marshal has hastened to communicate
the felicitous intelligence to the different corps. It
is said that the regular army cheered the EMPEROR
more unanimously than did the National Guard; but
this may be merely supposition, and, at any rate,
nothing appeared on any side calculated to convey an
unfavourable impression of the feelings of those
present. The appearance of the troops was magni-
ficent, and if a stray observer was present de-
puted by Count BISMARCK to watch the proceed-
ings ho may return to tell the tale of French
brilliancy in military matters in language otherwise
than pleasant to his interlocutor. The usual acts
of grace have been performed, and commutations of
punishment have been granted to the soldiers in
military prisons, and to convicts in penitentiaries
and other correctional establishments. The
day was kept as a strict holiday, and
the Bourse, with other public offices, was closed.
The Minister of Finance has reported to the EM-
PEROR the extraordinary success of the subscription
to the loan. This is indeed surprising, and must
reassure the most wavering minds as to the stabi-
lity of the present Government. Nearly thirty-
four times the sum required has been furnished.
The Minister declares that, without exaggeration,
it may be affirmed that the mast favourable conclu-
sions may be drawn from these "really extraordi-
nary figures."
Austrian affairs also seem flourishing, notwith-
standing some attempts that have been made most
unaccountably to prejudice her cause in the eyes of
Europe. Baron BEUST is a wise statesman, and
will not suffer misconception to arise because of
some hasty or unguarded expressions on the part

A letter from Casablanca, Morocco, in the Sema-
phore of Marseilles, says Here there is no case
of cannibalism to deplore; but what suffering and
misery these poor people have had to undergo! The
principal cause, in my opinion, is that the exporta-
tion of cereals is at all times absolutely prohibited,
and, further, they cannot be transported by sea
from one point of the coast to another, as the removal
by land is costly and very difficult the grain forcedly
rests at the place of its
production. A large num-
ber of rich proprietors of the interior have opened
silos (trenches to hold corn cut in the ground),
which had been closed and almost forgotten for 10
or 12 years. The wealth of the Moors consists first
of the possession of numerous deposits of that kind
filled with wheat, and next of silver five franc
pieces, which they inter in the ground. At the
'mice which corn attained last winter these people
have realised sums relatively enormous, but the new
harvest has not arrived any too soon, al everything
was exhaulted—everything was consumed, even the
wheat which was almost uneatable from being under
ground so long. You will easily understand how
many victims the cholera would make amongst so
suffering a population. The ravages of the scourge,
which may be called the epidemic of hunger, are
therefore beyond all proportion with what takes
place in Europe in similar cases. Casablanca, which
is only a small place, the inhabitants of which are
ustimated at 2,000 or 3,000, lost hi fifty days about
one-fourth of its number.

A curious story is told by the Berlin correspondent of the
Daily News. A few days ago, he says, a stranger named
Leroi put up at the principal hotel at Hersfeld, a little town
half•way between Cassel and Fulda. He described himself
as a painter, of Paris ; but he was suspected, and finally
watched by the police. It vas soon found that the
" painter " was taking very exact sketches of the town and
the neighbourhood. He was " visited," and it was then
discovered that he was not only a painter, but also a
French captain, and a member of the general
staff. The landrath immediately took possession of all
M. Leroi's papers, which he must have found a very inte-
resting study. Besides the numerous sketches, there were
many extracts from works referring to military history ;
also an exact memorandum of the houses of the town, the
numbers of men that could be quartered in them, and
notes for the best distribution of the cavalry and infantry.
The landrath went to Cassel for instructions, and the
Prussian General Plonski wished to have the culprit
forwarded to that city under escort. But the landrath,
though evidently a shrewd man, must also be a good•
natured one, for at his representations the' general gave
up his more wrathful intentions, and M. Leroi was allowed
to escape on giving a written promise to return to France
without loss of time.

A correspondent of the Libcrti sends a strange medley
of uncertainties. It is reported that the infant daughter
of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier is dead ; but
this requires confirmation. There is talk of a rising in
Arragon, but no details of the same. Troops have been
sent out in various directions, but it is impossible to learn
their destination. This is a cheerful and essential'y a
Spanish state of affairs. It seems pretty certain that
there is trouble and danger of some kind in the Peninsula,
though its extent and precise nature are altogether
enigmatical. It is not at all clear that the Government
is even temporarily free from its troubles.
The protest of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier
against the order which has condemned them to exile
denies altogether the assertion that their names have been
made the war-cry of insurrection. Their influence, their
Royal Highnesses allege, is not sufficiently great to render
them the head of a party ; and they do not hesitate to
suggest that the evils wli"c1). afflict Spain have been caused
by those who occupy a higher position than they. Now,
as the Queen is really the only personage who ranks
higher than her sister and brother-in-law, this allusion to
the errors of her Majesty is direct. The Duke an 1 Ducher s
also declaim vigorously against those councillors who,whilst
professing to allow them free choice of residence, have
secretly intrigued with the Portuguese Government to
prevent them residing in Portugal.

The correspondent of the Post announces that the insur-
gents have been beaten in several encounters, and the
revolution market is therefore dull and declining. He,
however, adds that two leaders have each 4,000 men
under his command, and that the Government has
to employ one-fifth of its entire army against
these insurgent forces. The " reconciliation" between
President Juarez and the P, pe excited great
interest in the peace-ul and clerical empire. The letter
of the Pope has not teen publi,ihe 1, but the writer has no
doubt that one was receiv«l, " and that six new bishops
will soon arrive here, sent by the Holy Father to look
after the sadly-stricken Church." The writer adds, that
all Mexicans ale nominally Catholics, and Juarez himself
has long been sail to suffer from remorse at the thought of
the wounds which he has inflicted on the Church ; but
this repentance cannot be very deep, as only a few days
:Igo he permitte 1 the church of San Andreas to be
demolished, because, on the occasion of the anniversary
requiem mass raid within its walls for the repose of the
soul of Maximil'an, the congregation were too earnest in
their manifestations of sorrow at the fate of the late
Emperor. Ihe demolition of the :church was commenced
at night by a detachment of soldiers, and has been since
continued, until only a few stem of the ecli4vt__Agiv

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS,

~:'.~w

The Tines says that while all the friends of Ireland are
fondly believing that they see the very dawn of order,
peac6, and goodwill, a terrible incident seems to throw us
back half a century. It has scarcely a parallel in its cha-
racter, its manner, and its results. A landlord, with his
bailiff, a labourer, and, as it turns out, the insufficient
escort of four policemen, serves notices on some of Isis
tenantry, and encounters a hostile population, content, at
first, to use threats, abuse, and barricades. Against the warn-
ing of the police he proceeds to a farm which has been loop-
holed, fortified, garrisoned, and armed for defence ; with
some of his party he enters the farmyard, and is imme-
diately met with a murderous fire. It is literally
murderous, for the object is not merely to resist, but to
slay ; and one poor fellow is shot while lie stoops to
lift up a wounded comrade. The slain policeman is
found riddled with bullets. Mr. Scully has received
several severe wounds. The verdict of the jury
upon the bodies of the murdered men is no more than
was to be expected under the circumstances. It admits
that they were murdered by Mr. Scully's tenants, which
o' course it was impossible to doubt or deny ; but it shows
no anxiety to fix on the vety hands that fired the fatal
shots, and invokes the aid of the British Legislature to
prevent any possibility of such collisions for the future.
The proceeding which the jury deprecates was
the service of a notice, and it is not easy to
see how any business relations whatever can be
conducted without regular forms of communication.
A notice to quit may be a very disagreeable
document, but even Irishmen would rather be served with
it than suddenly and forcibly expelled without it. The
jury had no wish to be involved in the quarrel, and if they
did not know who had fired the fatal shots at Ballycohey,
they knew very well who would be disposed to shoot them
if they made themselves disagreeable. It was not neces-
sary in the interests of justice that they should say more
than they did, and as the facts were difficult to handle,
they took refuge in the legislative aspiration.
The Daily News remarks of the Tipperary murder that
it is no new secret organisation which has inspired this
act of bold defiance of the law—it is simply the old open
feud, of Irish society. It is no fresh kindling of a flame,
but a flash from the ever smouldering embers of an ex-
tinguished fire. It merely shows that the same evils still
exist, and that so long as the present relations between
Irish landlords and Irish tenants remain unchanged, so
long will agrarian murders continue to redden the soil of
the Emerald Isle. The law put itself in armed antagonism
to the people, and they armed to meet it.

The Times ridicules the Protestant demonstration. The
weather was unfavourable, and the affair was a flash in
the pan. Lord Fitzwalter forgot the Irish Church for the
subject of Ritualism. Indeed, according to him, the issue
before the nation at the coming election is to choose
between the Queen and Mr. Mackonochie. There is some-
thing in this adaptation of the old dilemma, the Queen or
the Pope, which may suggest a want of novelty in the
idea ; but all other considerations are lost in our surprise
that Lord Fitzwalter should hope to secure from the
present Government the exemplary punishment of
Ritualists. The faith of Lord Fitzwalter and of those who
agree with him must be great. Mr. Disraeli is, indeed, as
we all know, an ardent anti-Ritualist. Did he not reveal
to the House of Commons—a House sceptical and some-
what scandalised, it is true—a conspiracy such as many
excellent women had long believed in, but were never
quite certain about until they thus got the word of the
First Minister of the Crown upon which to rely ? The
Times recommends the Protestants to ally themselves with
the Radica's.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.

Governor Warmouth, in his appeal for the aid
of the national troops to suppress lawlessness in
Louisiana, states that armed bands of desperadoes
are murdering, plundering, and persecuting the
Unionists in several parishes, having committed
150 murders within two months, and are further-
more organising to drive the Union men from the
State.

A Democratic member of the Louisiana Legisla-
ture has introduced a resolution declaring Governor
Warmouth's statements false, and calling upon hint
to furnish proofs of their accuracy.

The Post thinks the "demonstration" affords matter
for congratulation, not only to the speakers, who thus
found an unlimited opportunity for airing their views—or
rather their sentiments, for they nowhere rise to views—
but also to the nation at large, which is thus put in
possession of those sentiments, and is enabled to
appreciate the sort of attitude taken in defence of
them. From beginning to end the whole pro-
ceedings amounted to nothing more than a terrific
shaking of the red rag which has already more
than once frightened John Bull out of his propriety. The
Act of Settlement, the Bill of Rights, the British Consti-
tution, and our wives and daughters, were all knocked over
like so many ninepins, and at the end of the affair the Pope
of Rome was the only creature left standing in the field
engaged in organising a ritualistic Te Deuns to celebrate
the forcible conversion of Mr. Whalley, the burning alive
of Lord Fitzwalter, and the final extinction of Protes-
tanti; na.

The Star reminds us that the Throne of England rests
upon a wider and more secure Las's than the support of a
few Orange fanatics. The loyalty of the people does not
depend upon the exact meaning which antiquated theolo-
gians may attach to the Coronation Oath. The safety of
Protestantism may be secured upon other conditions than
seemed g-orl to William 111. The Constitution is
not fixed to the formulas of 1688, or limited to
the measures which were passed by the Parliaments of
that day. The world grows older in spite of us, new con-
ditions arise requiring altered policies, and monarchs,
parliaments, or parties who fail to appreciate these very
elementary principles of political science arc generally
reminded of them in a very rude and effectual way.
The knot of harmless zealots who sputtered forth their
eff ate doctrines are doubtless well meaning and loyal
enough in their intentions. When they call upon the
vast city to come at their bidding to help to defend
the Throne, they doubtless imagine the monarchy to
be in danger, the moment to be critical, and
the newest of the peers the right man to prop
everything up afresh for another century or so, by the
utterance of Orange nostrums. If the Crown had no
wiser advisers, the lease of life of the monarchy would be
brief indeed. The Church they cannot harm, for it does
not rest upon political arrangements and parliamentary
settlements. The Church of England may so rest, and
the Church of England in its political aspect is capable,
doubtless, of receiving dangerous wounds in the house
of its own foolish friends; but the Church of Christ
existed before William 111., and will survive all the efforts
which have been made to link her fortunes to the decaying
and changing institutions of the world.
The Herald is grateful to a Liberal contemporary for
describing Mr. Gladstone's policy as no more limited to a
purely Irish appl.caron " than a European war can be
described as French." Quite so ; but if it was worth
while to keep all this in the background up to the close
of the session, 10 nesysus people by the promise
that the English ( hut c'i sh ,uld be held sacred, where is
the use of blurting out the truth on the eve of a general
election ? Is it because it is now found that Churchmen
are no longer to be hoodwinked as to the logical conse-
quences of Mr. Gladstone's policy, and that it is now
thought advisable, as a Bernier rcssort, to bid heavily for
the Anti-Church-and-State party ? At any rate we are
properly grateful for this leisurely recognition of the accu-
racy of our first impressions, and we are tolerably confi-
dent that the frank confession of a truth long suppressed
will exercise an influence upon those who are halting
between two opinions, the reverse of that intended and
desired by our contemporary. It may avail to appease
"secularist impatience," but it will set the "thousands of
electors " thinking very earnestly of the prospect opened
out before the country by this " imperial policy," which
begins with the destruction of the Church in Ireland.
The Standard asks Mr. Childers to state his plan for
reducing the expenditure. Would he reduce the army,
or leave off building vessels likely to offer some resistance
to the guns of the present day ? It is easy to talk about
economy, but what expenses would Mr. Childers cut
down ? He has been named for a seat in thelCabinet when-
ever a Whig Ministry comes into power again, and there-
fore he ought to be capable of suggesting a definite
policy. His ideas upon the subject appear to be of
as little practical value as those of Mr. Fawcett,
who made a great outcry about diminishing the expendi-
ture, and when the time came for making proposals could
do nothing better than recommend that no more money
should be spent on the repairs of St. James's Palace, bu;
that a building which has so many interesting historical
associations should be allowed to go to ruin. Another
economist of the same school proposed that Hampton
Court Gardens should no longer be kept up, thus de-
priving the labouring classes of one of the most healthy
and charming places of recreation open to them out-
side London. It would seem that Mr. Childers also
belongs to the penny-wise and pound-foolish set og
financiers.

The Telegraph thinks Lord Mayo may not be the best
possible Viceroy, but why call him in advance the very
worst? If the Tories are to have the nomination, why
not leave to Mr. Disraeli the responsibility of the choice?
And why on earth should we decide that Sir Stafford
Northcote, or any other mild Conservative "illustration,"
is a fitter man? If we are to "open our
mouth and shut our eyes," and take what Mr.
Disraeli sends us, one Tory statesman is just as good es
another, and, as Lord %layo's countrymen would say,
" perhaps better." Ee,ddes, the outside public, easily
able to see whether a man is a good speaker or a clove'
adept at political trick, knows very little in the rival
merits of administration of Mr. Disraeli's colleagues ; but
he does. If, unbiassed by personal feelings—and in this
