THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1868.

BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.

The Town Hall last night presented a sight well worth
seeing. As I have already mentioned, the Council of the
Association had there arranged to hold the usual meeting
of working men, under the presidency of the Earl of
Carnarvon. So eagerly was the invitation of the Council
accepted, that half an hour prior to the time appointed for
opening the doors they were besieged by an eager crowd.
No sooner was admission gained, than the area of the hall
was nearly filled with a compact standing mass of working
men. Many of these had evidently come straight from
scene of their day's toil, and still wore their working
dress. Mingling in the crowd were a few, but only a few,
of their wives and daughters. There were probably not
less than 3,000 present, independent of those members of
the association who occupied seats on the platform and in
the side galleries. The clergy, as was right, made a good
show, and there was a fair sprinkling of ladies. The
appeapnce of the President of the Association, ushered
on to the platform by the Mayor, was the signal
for a tremendous outburst of cheering, which was
renewed as Mr. Hastings announced the gratification
felt by the Council at seeing so large a gathering. But
when the Earl got up to speak, the enthusiasm of the
audience rose to a pitch which was not content with
cheering, and was obliged to find vent in the waving of
hats and caps. Though-by no means 'an orator, in the
ordinary acceptation of the term, his lordship is an exceed-
ingly judicious speaker, and thoroughly adapts himself to
his audience. Last night he carried his hearers entirely
with him as he dwelt on the greatness and widespread
influence of England. Probably, however, he was carried
away by his subject when, to spew how strong was the
English feeling in the colonies, he said that, though in
Australia the heat of the sun was intense, the inhabitants
could not get rid of the English superstition of a black hat.
However, the joke told well, and prepared the audience to
receive in a good-humoured spirit the weighty words of
advice which subsequently fell from his lordship's lips. In
the midst of the earl's address Professor Fawcett, led by his
wife, came on the platform, and excited a perfect hurri-
cane of cheers, which was only equalled by that
which greeted the conclusion of the address. The earl
was succeeded by Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Q.C., who made
a good point by observing that whereas in the days of
Peter the Hermit there were monks who wore gowns,
who went forth to preach war, so now, in connection with
the department of International Law, over which he pre-
sided, there were those, some of whom wore gowns, who
went forth to lift up their voices against war. But he was
even more appreciated when deprecating the phrases in
which war was spoken of by the educated classes.
He mentioned that it was sometimes called a "refe-
rence to the God of battles," and said it was,
in his opinion, much more a question of " raising the
devil." Lord Lyttelton, without trenching on the strictly
forbidden ground of party politics, urged very strongly on
the working men that they should prepare themselves by
education for the exercise of their new privileges, quoting
the sentiment uttered in the House of Commons : "If
these men are to be our masters, let us see that at least
they know their letters." Lord Houghton followed, but
his speech, on the subject of health, had the disadvantage
of being tedious, as most of his lordship's speeches
are. Its tedium was somewhat relieved, however, by
some expressions of dissension, which he caused by remark-
ing that he thought teetotalism was a sad comment on the
weakness of self-control. When Professor Fawcett rose,
at the call of the chairman, it was some moments before
he could speak, so great was the cheering. His avowal at
the outset that education must be compulsory was
applauded to the echo—a fact which, he said, he would not
forget if be were again returned to Parliament. Not a
whit less hearty was the response to the challenge
which he gave the working men to express their
adherence to the principle that ignorance must
not be allowed to continue because certain
foolish people could not settle their miserable sectarian
differences of opinion. Mr. Ernest Noel, the Rev. Mr.
Dale, M.A. (s. Dissenting clergyman of the town, and a
prcdigious favourite with the working classes, judging by
the way in which he was received), and the Rev. IL
Solly were the other speakers of the evening. A hearty
vote of thanks was proposed to the Earl in the chair ; his
lordship, in acknowledging it, remarking that when he
came to the hall he was told that Birmingham working men
would remain at no meeting after ten o'clock, not even if an
angel came down from heaven. He thought the associa-
tion must take it as a great compliment that on that
occasion the audience had been content to exceed their
usual time of breaking up by an hour. The major por-
tion of the audience, as soon as they left the building by
the front door, ran round to the side entrance and awaited
the outcoming of the speakers, whom they loudly cheered.
Professor Fawcett was made the subject of a perfect ova-
tion, being followed down the street by some hundreds,
shouting their hardest.
Miss Carpenter's address on " Education in India" was
largely attended. It was delivered extempore. Two
papers in two sections, and one lecture, constitute not a
bad day's work for a lady.
Most of the sections broke up early to-day, the visitors
being off on the Dudley excursion.

TURISPRUDENCE AND AMENDMENT OF THE

LAW.

The special question discussed in the section of this
department devoted to the consideration of the best means
to be adopted for the repression of crime was, " What are
the best means for the suppression of vagrancy ? " Mr.
Holland, in his paper, which was of great length,
reviewed the vagrancy laws as at present administered,
and commented upon the unsatisfactory results obtained.
With regard to the detention of the vagrant poor, he was
of opinion that masters of workhouses should be entrusted
with a further discretionary power. The period allowed
by law should be extended from four to twenty-four hours.
There would, he thought, be little fear that the masters
would exercise their power other than in a judicious
manner. The desire to get rid of the vagrants was so
strong in the minds of union officers that it would be more
difficult to get them to use the power than to abuse it ;
while, on the other hand, the knowledge that such a
power was possessed would place a wholesome restraint
upon the conduct of the vagrant, and the occasional exer-
cise of it upon the professional tramp would much
harass his movements. In London Mr. Holland thought,
there ought to be a vagrant hospital—a sort of reforma-
tory, or house of industry, where all trades should be
represented. William Pitt said, a long time ago, that
ignorance and idleness were the chief causes of able-bodied
paupisni. The truth of his words has remained unques-
tioned, whilst the remedial measures he proposed have
unfortunately remained unconsidered.
Sir William Denison, C. 8., read a paper on Secondary
Punishment, which was, in fact, a minute addressed by
him to the Executive Council of New South Wales.
In the opinion of the author it was by no means
impossible, in adopting such a system as would act
upon the fears of the prisoner or his associates, to combine
it with such attention to his moral improvement as
lyould lead to such a change of heart and life
as would be worthy of the name of reformation.
Simple imprisonment was a most objectionable form
of punishment, pandering to that morbid feeling of apathy
and idleness which is at the root of almost all crime. As
compulsory labour in prison is ineffective unless some
motive beyond the mere dread of punishment is held out,
it was suggested that anything beyond the food absolutely
necessary to sustain life should be purchased by the pro-
duce of the prisoner's labour. This rule should be
general, applying to debtors, and even to persons com-
mitted for trial. To the latter the whole of the proceeds of
their labour should be given, while the earnings of those
convicted should be Appropriated according to the instruc-
tions laid down by the Government. Imprisonment with
labour then, being the substance of secondary punishment,
Sir William defined what the term imprisonment should
mean. Each prisor er should, on his entry into prison; be pro-
vided with a separate apartment in which to sleep and
take his meals. Imprisonment should be for certain
fixed and specified periods, no diminution of which
should be admitted, unless on special and peculiar
grounds, and labour should be constant. On the
reformatory part of the proposed system of
secondary punishment, the paper suggested that
steady unremitting labour would bring its own reward,
and would be the best corrective to those haunts of idle-
ness and self-indulgence which have led the prisoner into
crime. No opportunity would, of course, be lost of com-
municating instruction, secular and religious.

THE COMING ELECTIONS.

( From the Anglo-American Times)

The effect of the Republican victory in Maine
has been to concentrate the efforts of both parties
on Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, where the
elections will take place on the 13th instant. On
that day the campaign may be decided, for, if
unanimous, neither party could recover the defeat.
Pennsylvania gives 26 electoral votes, Ohio 21, In-
diana 13, making a total of 60 ; and as these States
vote on the 13th, so, in all probability, they will vote
for President in November. Considering, then, the
tremendous issues to be decided, it is worth while
very carefully and impartially to examine the posi-
tion. In 1866 the entire vote cast by Pennsylvania
for Governor was 597,370,when JOHN W. GEA RY, the
Republican candidate, was elected by a majority of
17,178. Last year the Democrats carried GEORGE
SHARSWOOD, as Judge of the Supreme Court, by a
majority of 922 votes, in a total of 531,570. Of
the 61,800 votes less than in the preceding year, the
Republicans lost 40,450, and the Democrats 22,350.
At the time there was a strong reaction, but results
have since proved that the feeling was directed more
against the " War Horse " section than in favour of
the Conservatives. Many of the moderate Republi-
cans refrained from voting, and the consequence wa
a general decrease in the total throughout tht
Union. Upwards of 160,000 Republicans absented
themselves from the polls, and it was calculated that
the Democrats were only strengthened by Repub-
lican desertions to the extent of 50,000. In no
State, except, perhaps, in New York, did the feel-
ing inimical to the ruling party run more strongly
than in Pennsylvania ; and we may remark that
the office upon which this test was tried was not of
sufficient importance to produce of itself an excit-
ing contest. HENRY WILLIAMS, the Republican
candidate, was everywhere acknowledged to be
less fitted as a lawyer for the promotion
than Judge SIRRSWOOD ; and it was said at
the time that the Republicans considered they
could secure the election of any one they might
nominate withont further reference to his qualifica-
tions than his value as a party man. They profess
great confidence in the result in Pennsylvania on
the 13th, and the fight has been intensified by:De-
mocratic efforts to neutralize their defeat in Maine,
knowing that if the Keystone State decides against
them, unless they can carry Ohio, they need not
continue the contest. Not only is Pennsylvania
the most important State, not only is the Conserva-
tive chance there better than in Ohio or Indiana,
but it has become a proverb to say that as Penn-
sylvania decides, so decides the Union. We
do not attempt to predict, but we believe
that a careful examination would incline an un-
biassed person to the opinion that the Republi-
cans will be successful, though perhaps but by a
small majority. It is not, however, with them as
with the Democrats in Pennsylvania—a death
struggle—for they can lose that State and still
carry their candidate for the Presidency.
The result of the Ohio election in 1866 was to
give WILLIAM H. SMITH, the Republican candidate,
for Secretary of State 256,302 votes, against 213,606
for the Democratic candidate BENJAMIN F.LEFEVRE,
in a total of 469,908. Last year General
ALLEN G. THURMAN, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, was defeated by the Republican candi-
date, General RUTHERFORD B. HAYES, in a very
close contest, the majority being but little over
2,500. General HAYES probably owed his election
to his high record and personal popularity, for the
State showed a clear Democratic tendency, electing
a majority of Democrats to the Legislature, and
defeating the Negro Suffrage Amendment by 38,353
votes, the side issue that told so forcibly against
the Republicans. Mr. PENDLETON, who is strong
in Ohio, earnestly devotes himself to the Democratic
interest. It is at best a doubtful State, as shown
last year when the Democrats carried nine Con-
gress districts, four of them by majorities under
500, five under 1,000, and the others by majorities
ranging from 2,000 to 6,000. The nomination of
VALLANDIGHAM for Congress is thought by many
to have been a very ill-advised step on the part of
the Conservatives, indicating an intention of rais-
ing Lisues which their best friends earnestly hoped
had been settled for ever and consigned to oblivion.
Freed from the side issue, and with the simple
question before the electors whether the Democrats
or the Republicans are to rule, the best opinions
favour the success of the latter.

Indiana is not in the same category as the two
other great States, its Republican tendencies being
outspoken and strong ; nor does it carry the same
weight. In 1866 a Secretary of State, Treasurer,
Auditor, Attorney-General, and Superintendent of
Public Instruction were elected with a full delega-
tion of Congressmen and members of the Legisla-
ture. 'I he Republicans were successful in electing
N. TRUSLER Secretary of State by 169,601 over
M. D. MANSON, the Democratic candidate, who
polled 155,390, giving a majority of 14,211 in a
total vote of 325,000. This was the largest ever
cast, being 41,715 more than that given for Gover-
nor in 1864, and only 15,240 less than the enume-
meration of white male voters. All the Republi-
can candidates were elected, and the Legislature,
which, by the way, meets biennially in the odd
years, stood in the Senate—Republicans, 30, De-
mocrats, 20 ; in the Representatives—Republicans,
61 ; Democrats, 39. This heavy vote resulted from
the great excitement raised on the issues of the
Reconstruction policy by President JOHNSON, who
had himself but a month before traversed the State
on his celebrated tour. It was at Indianapolis, on
the night of S3ptember 10, 1866, that he made
the speech most generally condemned, which
was followed by a riot. These were the elections
that really tested the political feeling in Indiana, for
in the next year, when other States were falling
away from the Republican party, Indiana increased
9 out of the 11
lepublican gain of
tn go of
a the previous year.

lowa in 1866p011ed147,124 votes, of which
Wright, the Republican candidate for Secretary of
State, got 91,227 against 55,815 for the Democrat,
Van Ananda. This was the heaviest vote ever
cast in the State, exceeding by 22,257 that for
Governor in the previous year, and by 10,533 that
for President in 1864. On the whole ticket the
majority was maintained by the Republicans in
1867, and it is not thought that there has been any
change whatever in the feeling of the State since.
The electoral vote of lowa being only 8, it is of
considerably less importance than that of Indiana,
and as the State is considered by the Republicans
to be securer it does not excite much interest.
Even the Round Table in its estimate, made some
time ago, gave lowa to the Republicans, while
claiming Indiana and Pennsylvania for the Demo-
crats. Strange to say it classed Ohio as Repub-
lican, a State we believe to be far more doubtful
than Indiana.

To listen to Republican and Democratic orators
and writers, people would imagine there was no
doubt as to the side on which these States would
vote. But on the 14th instant there will probably
be extravagant demonstrations of joy on the one side
or the other, showing that they had gained some-
thing till then uncertain. At the same time there
is a feeling abroad in the North which appears
daily to gather force, that Democratic success would
neutralize the Union victory, and the Republican
papers and stump speakers eagerly foster this notion
by speaking of themselves as the " Unionists," and
their enemies as "rebels." That word, now again
so generally used, thrills on the Northern heart
and stirs up the fire left smouldering by the war.
It recals the days of loss and sacrifice when men
had to throw mile their employments to shoulder
their muskets and to face death by bullet, disease
and fatigue, or, see their country shivered into
fragments. This is a cunning device—for nothing
could more effectually secure the party purpose,
and they have been effectually aided iu it by the
Southern leaders. It is just possible that through
it an enthusiastic Republican vote may be polled,
giving a majority, no one thought, a month ago, was
by any chance on the cards.,

MEXICO.

-~►-

A letter signed "A British Resident in Mexico'
appeared last Thursday in the Times. The writer
states that he had lately returned from the city of
Mexico, where he had been four years, and had
witnessed the events which transpired from the
French occupation up to June. Ile writes in de-
fence of Mexico in general, and of JUAREZ and his
Government in particular, and in reply to an
article in last Saturday's Times on the rumour that
the United States were negotiating with JUAREZ
for Mexican territory, and would eventually oc-
cupy the whole country to its benefit and that of
the world. We need scarcely repeat our opinion that
whatever good an American occupation would be
to the rest of mankind it would be the reverse of a
benefit to the citizens of the United States. Young
countries are apt to appropriate and spread them-
selves over an immoderate amount of territory,
thereby committing a grave error. Not only is con-
centration strength, but to scatter is to barbarize. No
high civilization can be attained by a people sparsely
spread over a vast tract, and those who concentrate
will be acted on injuriously by the savagery gene-
rated in the wilds. It would have been well for
the present and for several succeeding generations if
the North American continent had been narrowed
to a tenth of its size, when the just ambition of its
people to place it under one Government might have
been the more easilyandspeedilyachieved. We believe
now, as always, that the aim of the American
should be to have but one rule for the Continent of
North America, but we consider that an object so
gigantic is to be worked out only in decades, not in
years. To hurry this may be to defeat it ; to push
to) rapidly over wastes, or into provinces inha-
bited by men little better than barbarism, is, in
the first instance, to weaken, and in the latter to
import ready-made savagery in aid of the degene-
racy generated by the former. It is, in our opinion,
a most mistaken policy to increase the boundaries
of the United States, and that opinion finds an echo
among masses of the citizens, who think that, in-
stead of advancing the ultimate object, it will in
ruth retard it. The "British Resident" asserts that
moderation, humanity, and good sense have charac-
terized the Government of JUAREZ. He maintains
that immediately the President was installed in power
he caused a Congress to be elected by the,people, which
met and sat for six months, debating the laws, and as
narrowly investigating, as Parliament, c ges, every
item of the Budget. The Government party is
controlled by an untrammelled opposition, and full
liberty of discussion is allowed. the Press. That so
desolating and long-continued a war as that which
ended in the execution of MAXIMILIAN could at once
be followed by law and order is not to be expected ;
but he maintains that the country is safer and in a
better state than during the Empire, for he lately
travelled three times between the capital and Vera
Cruz, unarmed and unharmed, without even a fear
of molestation. Regarding the cession of territory
these are his words :—" The assumption thatJuartEz
would alienate any portion of Mexican territory, or
would submit under any terms to the protection of a
foreign Power, is equally groundless. The feel-
ing dominant in Mexico since she has recovered
her independence is an exaggerated sense of na-
tional dignity, coupled with unlimited confidence
in the power and resources of the Republic. Mexico
will never accept a master unless imposed by force.
What may be the views of her powerful neighbour
it would be difficult to discover at present, but it is
very certain that the United States could only ex-
tend her frontiers on the Rio Grande by conquest."
Two treaties between Mexico and the United
States have just been published in the Mexican Offi-
cial Diary, both the work of Senor ROMERO, during
his recent visit to Washington. The most important
refers to the naturalization of citizens, as it disposes
of the present claim of exemption from Mexican
law by foreigners long resident on the general plea
of American citizenship. The term of five years
spent in either country constitutes citizenship,
but any person can renew his old allegiance by
returning to his native country and residing there
two years. The ether treaty has reference to Ame-
rican claims on Mexico, which a short time ago
were clamorously urged. A convention is to as-
semble to examine these claims, and five years is
allowed to Mexico wherein to pay. Not only does
JUAREZ indignantly deny any intention to cede Mexi-
can territory, but the latest intelligence from that
countryconfirms his assertion. Though we condemned
JUAREZ for the needless, cruel, and impolitic exe-
cution of MAXIMILIAN and his most faithful
Generals, we are bound to do justice to his admi-
nistration, rand we consider the late news from
Mexico justifies thestatements of the British resident.
The Puebla insurrection had been quelled, and the
country so far tranquillized. Generals LUCAS
and BONILLA had surrendered at discretion,
and the sentence of death pronounced against
them had been commuted. General RAmoN
CORONA was at the capital conferring with
the Government on the best mode of keep-
ing the roads clear of banditti. An instance is
given of the value the Mexican Congress attaches
to human life, for the Governor of Jalisco, AN-
TONIO GOMEZ CUERVO, had been impeached and
deposed by it for having sanctioned the summary
execution of robbers, thereby violating the Federal
Constitution, which guards the life of the citizen.
Though he has been reinstated, yet the fact that
Congress had so acted even in the case of robbers
—the bane of Mexico— speaks well for the Govern-
ment. A proof of the magnanimity of JUAREZ is
also furnished by the present intelligence. The late
conspirators against his life had been liberated from
prison and merely banished. Colonels GRANADOS
and TOLEDO, who had taken a leading part in the
Sinaloa revolt, were also reprieved after being
sentenced to death. These acts of clemency tell
well for JUAREZ, and that they do not proceed from
weakness is shown by his course when informed
of the assassination of General PATONI. That
General had been Governor of Durango, where,
on arrival, he slept in his carriage in the court-
yard of the hotel. General CANTO, the officer
in command, sent his Secretary, it is said, to tell
the political chief where PATONI was, and at
three o'clock a guard surrounded the carriage,
dragged the Governor to the outskirts of the town,
where he was shot. It was even rumoured that
CANTO had drugged the General previous to his
execution, but he indignantly denies all knowledge
of the transaction, and the whole affair is wrapped
in mystery. The PRESIDENT has, however, ordered
him into arrest, and he will be tried for the murder.
The Legislature of Durango has certainly moved
strongly in this matter, but we believe that JUAREZ
is inclined without pressure to execute the law with
rigour, as well as to temper it with mercy. At pre-
sent every effort is being made to repress brigan-
dage, which is the curse of the country, and the
capture and execution of several leaders shows that
he does not work in vain. It is here worthy of
mention that a system of taxation has been framed
by the three prominent Congressmen, MAT A, IGLE-
SIAS, and PRIETO, which for the first time will
base the plan on a direct impost. All haxiendas
are annually to contribute two dollars per
$l,OOO of their value, city property 3 per cent.,
while all tenants of farms and houses shall pay 3
per cent. on the rent. It is gratifying to be en-
abled to report anything favourable of Mexico.
Those who personally know JUAREZ speak highly
of his character, and although the execution of
MAXIMILIAN has given him in Europe a bad repu-
tation, it is but fair that he should be judged by
his rule. He may not have been able to control the
position or to save the Austrian Prince, even had
he desired to do so ; but whatever was the position
then, we have to deal now with the conduct of the
Government, and to correct erroneous impressions
as far as we can when we know that the circum-
stances do not justify the notions current on this
side the Atlantic. It is a mistake to suppose there
is any coldness between the Government at Mexico
and that of Washington. JUAREZ and his Cabinet,
together with many members of Congress, lately
attended a dinner given to the distinguished jurist
RIVA PALACIO, where the PRESIDENT spoke in the
best taste and humour of the United States.—
