Electoral Corruption in England.

Whilst the institutions of the United States
stand in the broad sunlight of perfected expert
ment, it is interesting to witness the reformers
of Europe cropping in the dark, embarrassed by
the habits of centuries, and fearful lest in the
operation ofrepairing the foundations of thei,
political fabric it may tumble about their heads
The Parliament of Great Britain having beer
for some time engaged in investigating certain
allegations of electoral corruption, are endea
voring to devise some means by which it may
be in future prevented. The two plans under
most favorable consideration seems to be an
extension of the right of suffrage and the sub
stitution of the ballot for riva pocs vote.
The philosophy of the first remedy is yery
simple. 1t appears that in many notorious
cases competing candidates bid for whole con-
stituencies in lot; a seat in Parliament was
thus negotiated between political brokers and
secured for the richest or most ambitions an
plicant.
An extension of the right of suffrage would
IT Is thought, SO far increase the number If
vo;ers amongst whom the purchase money Of
the seat was to be distributed, as to render
bribery next to impossible.
The remedy Of voting by ballot is intended
70 correct another evil. 1t seems that electors
vao are obstinate or inimical to candidate
are often compelled to support him by some &C.
u pcsitive oppression. This is described AZ
kdlowy.

Correspondence Of the ". Y. Courier and Enquirer
WAsHlNGroN, July S..
Public attention is much occupied with the
growth and establishment of our principal cities,
as constituting fair test Of the general progress
Of the country. The political capital is advanc-
ing with rapidity unhoped for even by those
most interested in its increase. Land in the Vi
cinity, which few years ago was considered ire
claimable sold field" and almost burden to its
owners, has been restored by the use of qua
no and composite manures, and is eagerly
sought for at prices varying from forty to five
hundred dollars per acre; and real estate in the
city has doubled in price within five years. Two
hundred brick and three hundred wooden build
ings have been erected, are in progress, during
the present season. The total number of DWELL
lighthouses in the city is 1901, the population
about $4,000, and the average number of inhabit-
ants to each house six and third The disburse-
ments upon the public works are heavy and give
activity to private business in the place. The
wealth which the distribution of the immense pub
lie confers upon those citizens fortunate
enough to profit by them, is spent with liberal
hand, and has produced marked effect upon the
architecture of private dwellings,, as the munf-
cence of the Government has added to the gran
deur and beauty of the edifccs devoted to public
purposes. We seem to be approaching the period
when the attractions of the capital will make it
the social and fashionable centre of the country,
institutions make it the theatre of political
movement. M

MARRYING AND REMARRYNG.-ln 1849 Mr..
James Austin was married to a young lady of

wife thought necessary. From the insidious mis-
representations of interested parties she was in
duced to charge her husband with infdelity A
suit for divorce was instituted, and she and her
infant child were allowed $1,000 alimony, the in
terest to be paid it accrued, and the principal
terday she into court asking that she be paid
the $5, 900, as she was now Of age, which was
granted, and here the court of law dropped the
case. But the misjudged husband, who had since
returned from Europe and satisfied his former
wife Of his innocence, took the case in hand, and
was again married, and made happy husband
and father.-N. Y. Mirror, 7h.

One Of the greatest feats in the blasting Oh 'ochs ~
.0nowder which perhaps ever took place norm OF
land was achieved on the line OF the Londonderry
"a Coleraine Railway at Downhill. The rock was
Ta.ted at the headland known as the Cove" ABOUT
omarter of mile seward from Downhlll mansion
Sonse and two hundred yards westward OF the Tenn
Il. On either side of the tunne and about halfway
rom each end, large hole somewhat IN the shape
If the letter T, was cut out OF the solid Tock ne
npermos part Of this aperture, or the head OF the
Litter as it were, chamber twelve feet by thlr.
,s.n In this chamber were deposited fifteen hundred
eght three quarters of blasting powder, or thTy-one
and a half hundred weight in the two Connected
with the powder in each of The chambers were wires
communicating with a galvanlc battery, which was
laced at a distance of tweny-four yards outside the
tunnel.
Revond the battery again, and in the face OF neigh
borno cliff a small cave hewn out, in viii n the
ror,;os who communicated with the battery could lie
dovn and be safely protected from the effects of the
blast Just it struck o'clock the loud report OF
Gun told that all was ready Precisely at ten minutes
we'd to move. In one or two moments more loud
deep rumbling OF thunder, followed by sharp re-
mort was heard, and then volume of smoke was seen
10 rise over the scene of explosion When all was
still again. those who could FASTENED to the spot,
and on the smoke clearing away there lay in millions
If fragments the rock which, but few minutes be-
fore, seemed imperishabe AS the hills.
From data furnished us by Mr.. Dugan, of Articlave
and by one of the engineers of the line, we made
calculation the effect that 350,000 cubic feet, g.,
900 tons, of rock were dslodged by the blast. So
soon as the debris is removed, the line will then be
clear from Coeraine TO Derry, and we expect that in
the course of few weeks more will be opened for
traffic between both places.
