JOHN G. FEEMoNT-W Whatever may be the
opinion of Fremont's character and quaiiIlca-
tions, there can be no doubt concerning MS
great energy and force of character. his name
is identified with all that is bold and hazard
Gus in the first enterprises which led to the
explorations of the country between the Mis-
sissippi Valley and the Pacific. His nara
tives, although they may be somewhat incor-
rect, are full of incident and graphic descrlp-
ton to reward a person even at this time ior
an attentive perusal of them, Had he kept
aloof from political life we think his name and
fame would to-day have been as fair os that oi
any man in California. BIT politics issucb 3
business in our country that the moment
man enters The field, his motives are impugned
and he becomes snhject Of suspicion and
envy until he is driven from Office
The st. Louis Democrat in speaking Of
Fremont's recent return to that city, says:
We had q call recently from several Of the
Delaware Indians who accompanied Fremont
On his recent winter exploration of the central
route. A finer looking set of voyagers we
have never beheld, and any one who sees them
can easily understand why Fremont relied so
implicitly Oh their courage and endurance in
exploring the wilderness. One or two of them
speak English very fuently, and to them we
are indebted for very graphic description OF
the route and many amusing details of camp
life They speak with grsto Of their feasts
upon mule meat. and seem even to relish their
weary wandering along the base of the Sierra
Nevada before they found pass. As far as
Parowan no serious obstacle to travel was met
with, and after that only single mountain
ridge was encountered before reaching the foot
Of the Sierra Nevada, and even that had a fine
level pass some twenty miles south of the point
whence they crossed it. They met several
parties of Utahs, who offered them no moles-
tation, and also one or two bands of Diggers
after leaving Parowan. They went into Cal
ifornia, all on foot, having but one mule left,
following down Kern river and report no diff
fculty in the pass as a wagon can travel itwth
ease. aid the snow was not so deep as it often
is at Kansas. Unfortunately, one of their
number died, coming up the Mississippi, bat
with this exception their journey, though az
ar1uous one, has been very agreeable one.

1t is said, that when the Hon. Mr.. Atchi-
son returns to his place in the Senate, he
will set mp claim 70 the Presidency of that
distinguished body: and we even hear that
there is possibility Of his pretensiOns be-
ing allowed We hope however, that before any
decisive action is taken upon the question, the
members of the Senate will carefully peruse the
statements respecting the election in Kansas,
which have lately been laid before the publici in the
columns of this 10 1rnal They will there find mass
ofevidence TO show that the Senator from Missouri
has been actively and openly gagged in the work
polling fraudulent votes at that election. They
will zee that not only il speeches at public meet
ipgs, but in private, he has used every means to
send illegal voters into the Territory and to enlist
the rufiians of the frontier in the work Of multi
fyiDg the will of the lawful inhabitants. Ii ever
a man deserved 10 be arrested and tried for cheat
ing at the polls-if ever there was case Of polit
zeal villai6ywhich demanded condiga punishment, it
lie this of which Atchison is VIGOROUSLY the suthor
and abettor. At the last session of Congress he
was one of the bawlers for Popular Sovereignty,
and now We see him pervertiDg the influence of his
Office, and even staying away from his duties at
Washington, in order by the help of violence and
dishonesty to deprive the real settlers in the Ter
rtOry even Of the rights guaranteed by the unjust
bill he helped to impose upon them. We submit
to the members of the Senate from all parts of the
Union. that it concerns the dignity of their House
that this case should undergo thorough investi-
cation. If such an ofiense is allowed to pass I'M
questioned or to be whitewashed over by sham
inquiry the claims t the Senate to public respect
will undergo a serious diminution. Mr.. AtchisOn
stands charged before the people with an offense
lacking all the manly elements of treason, but no
less base and hlthy. He should have the opportu-
nifty of showing that he has not made the speeches.
or given 70 the DULLES Of the Missouri b order the
private ADVICE, which is attributed to him. Or if
upon full examination il should appear chat he has
done these things he will not be too severely pun
ished BY expulsion from the seat he has so long
held in the Senate.

THE MONEY POWER IN ENGLAND.

Mr. Locke King, the Radical NJ p. for East
Surrey. having failed during the last session OF
Parlisment in an attempt to procure an alteration
in the present law Of inberitsnce TO Real Estate
because. as Lord John Russell informed him, any
infriDaement Of the rights Of PrmOgeniture would
"raise a platform wherefrom to attack the
hereditary Monarchy and the hereditary Arts
..tocrscy," yet succeeded in getting the sanction
of the three estates of the realm to q less pre-
tentious but noteworthy little statute, entitled
'the Real Estate Charges Act" The state OF
the law was this: If land owner mortgsged his
estate, on his decease the heir or deyisee of the
estate could come upon the land owners execu-
tor and demand the redemption Of the mortgage;
in other words, the personal estate was said to
be primarily liable" for the debt. The Court
of Chsncery had for many years leant against
this principle, and had effected many limitations
of it, which had rendered the state of the law on
this point very intricate. Mr.. Locke King
recent act alters the old rule, and makes the
estate itself primarily liable for the charge affect
irg il when contrary intention is not declared.
Henceforth the heir or deyisee will take the
estate cum cnere" that is, along with its La
blies
This act of legislation is similar in drift to q
large number of others which have been enacted
year by year since the reform ofParfament in 1872.
One of the most prominent Of these was the act
to "render freehold and copyhold estates assets
" for tue payment of simple contract debts" BY
the old state of the law. only those creditors
whose debts were secured by writing, under
zeal, could claim satisfaction from the lands of a
deceased debtor. Thus tradesmen must remain
unpaid, if their debtors personal estate proved
insufficient, while his lands deyOved intact upon
bis heirs This evident remnant of feudalism
was swept away by the first Reformed Parliament
in 1888. Another act of the same stamp was
that for taxing the succession to real estate. In
1893 the squirearchcaI Legislature of that time
refused to subject real estate to the payment of
legacy duty, but granted that tax on personal
property This injustice was remedied last year
by extending the tax to real estate, Mr. Glad
stone having the good fortune to connect his name
with the change.
These three statutes serve to Illustrate the
general proposition that in Britain the power
founded on territorial possessions, on land is
giving " az TO the power founded on chattels, on
money; and consequently the heir-at-law is no
longer the special favorite of British law-he
has been unseated by the executor, the personal
representative. 1t is the putocratic stage of
society following after and superseding the arts
tOcrauc.

The speech by LOUIS KOssUTH on the pres
emit crisis in Europe, which THE TRIBUNE is this
morning enabled to lay before the American pub
lie, in advance of all other sources, will, we are
confident, be read with intense and thoughtful in
terest. The course of the sllied Governments in
conducting the war, is criticised in this speech
without mercy, while the eallsntry of their armies
Is dwelt upon with spontaneous admiration aud
applause. The leading political idea is the same
as in previous speeches by the same author. Ac-
cordiDg TO Kossuth, the only means Of securing
the West Of Europe against the encroschments Of
Russia is the Reconstruction Of Poland, followed
by the restoration Of the other lately subjugated
and suppressed nationalities of the Continent.
On this question we have lately expressed our
opinion at some length and it not necessary that
we should repeat it here; but, though in some re-
spects it varies widely from that OF the lustrious
Magyar statesman, we most cordially commend
his Grafton to the consideration Of our readers
They will find in it the same generous humauity
the same persuasive reasoning, and the same
vire and glowing eloquence, which they have
become familiar with in bis former speeches.
