In tho statement mado by our reporter OF

on tho morning Of the publication Of tho forged proca
meton there werc some errors which would have been
sooner corrected had wo been OF them. The re-
porter repeated what he heard in the crowd believing
1t to be true. but probably like everybody else present.
was led into error 1t asserted that Mr.. Stone
fused to pat upon the bulletin the denial Of tho genuine
ness of the proclamation We have tho best authority
for stating that this is not true clerk in the office
declined to post tho denial the demand Of others only
before any official contradiction received from the
Office OF the Associated Press from Washington. but
consented to put up any contradiction which anybody
else would assume the responsibility OF signing. MIR.
Stone was not then in his Office On his arrival the
reading Of the first hadozcn lines Of the proclamation
sufficient to satisfy him that it was forgery and
ho ordered bulletin o be posted immediately on bis

unsatisfactory to many ladies who are disposed
to enter upon this movement with a serious
purpose of essential good to the country. The
plea of convenience" they think, does not
cover enough ground, and leaves too large q
liberty of evading the pledge altogether, or per-
mits those to take it who will not be governed
by its spirit. The Committee, we presume,
have power to make the pledge of such a char
actcr as to meet the apprehended difficulty.

tistics as to schools and newspapers
He contended that the classes to whom
he proposed to extend the franchise were
eminently fitted to receive it. by all these
irrcfltabc reasons, Mr.. Baines was induced
not as the Democratic speakers in other Euro
pean Parliaments would have done, to demand
in the name of popular sovereignty the conceS-
sion to tho people of privileges which the
aristocracy have no right to withhold rom
them-but to beg the aristocracy in the most
humble and submissive manner, to confer upon
the people the right of suffrage as reward
for GOOD behavior. He even took care
to show that the preponderanco OF the
aristocracy in tho House of Commons
would by no means be affected by the
success of his bill, as it would increase inc
number Of electors by only 2lO, 900, making tho
total number 723, 300 and still leaving ,539,0bo
unreprcsented; that is to say, while at present
there was in tho boroughs one elector to five
male adults, under the new franchise laws
there would be only one in three. In tho coun-
ties the working classes had no appreciate
weight whatever. The whole county constltu-
ency rested with the landed interest Taking
the county and the borough voters together, the
extension he suggested would only leave the
working classes onc-fifth or one-sixth OF the
franchise. He thcreupon contended that what
he advocated was a safe and moderate measure
The Tories did not seem to attribute much
importance TO the discussion. None OF their
leaders took part in it. Their speakers briefly
repeated the stale arguments that the people
were we'll enough off, and that there was no
general demand for change. They carried
with them part of the Ministerial side OF the
House, and the second reading of the bill was
rejected by 272 votes against PIG.
The whole debate would have attracted but
little attention. had il not been for a sensation
speech of Mr.. Gladstone, who, to the great sur
prise of the House and the entire English press,
placed himself at the head Of the most advanced
wing of English Liberalism. He not
only supported the bill Of Mr.. Banes,
but ayOwed the opinion that "cyery man
who il not incapacltated by personal
unGtness, or whose admission would not be at
tended by political danger, is morally entitled
to come within the pale of the Constitution.
That is obviously much more than Mr.. Baines
begged for; it is a demand for the introduction,
if not of universal suffrage, at least OF some
thing approaching very near it,
There is naturally great joy among the organs
Of English Liberalism over the conversion OF
man OF the talents and great social influence OF
Mr.. Gladstone They already hail him as the
leader of new Liberal party and the future
Prime Minister Of England. Whether Mr..
Gladstone will justify these great expectations
remains to be seen. He has, without doubt,
the talent required for such position; but
whether he will ever be a thorough sympathizer
with the democratic tendencies of the age, his
course upon our war, and more recently with
regard to Garibadi, is well calculated TO render

The movement, begun ny ladies' Oh TINS Guy,
TO abstain a. far as possible from the
use Of foreign products, and to Introduce
economy generally in style Of dress and
living, is assuming positive form in various
parts of the country. Here the association
has opened rooms in Great Jones street, and
Indies of high social standing, whose en-
ergy and zeal will be sure TO accom-
plsh their object, and whose example will
be- certain TO be followed, have taken
the work in hand. Its Importance grows more
manifest the more il is discussed and the prac-
teal difficulties and objections which, at the
outset, it seemed little difficult to meet, are
rapidly yielding before the earnest determine
ton Of women who recognize the duty OF doing
all in their power to aid the country in its hour
Of trial. How much it may be aided by the
contemplated reform grows palmer every day, as
all its various relations are unfolded that ii will
not merely prevent the expenditure OF money
abroad, but will insure its profitable investment
at home in the development of our own
resources in the encouragement OF our own III
dustry, in the fostering OF native talent and
skill, and in rendering the Republic more indie
pendent than it has ever been OF foreign fabrics,
Of foreign fashions, and of foreign influences.
Out Of evil comes good; out of the bitter,
sweet; and the Rebellion that was meant TO
crush and ruin Us is made to place the nation,
by the courage Of its men and the devotion OF
its women, among the foremost OF the earth.
The ladies of Boston have addressed letter to
two of the Massachusetts delegation in Congress,
Messrs. Hooper and Rice, the former the Chair
man of the Committee Of Waysand Means. The
effect of tho movement upon tho revenue from
duties is very satisfactorily answered by these
gentlemen. Every dollar added to the revenue
by tho duty on importations involves, in the
cost of the article imported, more than two dol
lars, 80 that the reduction of the revenue will
only be an addition to the national wealth.
Their letter gives the following figures:
On examining statements Of the imports OF previous
years, We find the annual value OF tnanuiac'
ture. Of silks to have been about SAT 500 00o
OF l300 600
or embro sSooo

or wines, over. ff,Wp,UV

This large sum went abroad to pay for ar
ticles of mere luxury, and the payment was in
gold. The annual export OF specie has been
about Sc, 900, 900, and the country, of course,
was SO much the poorer. Abstinence from ar
ticles of luxury of foreign production would
save large portion Of it. This would be the
direct result Of such economy; the indirect
would DO still more important in checking the
growing tendency to extravaganza in dress
and style of living, in diminishing the foreign
debt, and in stimulating American industry.

Weat Point.

Our national military school is again full,
and would be if its capacity were twice as
great as at pseseut. Why should it not be
enlarged? If there is one lesson taught
us by this war above all others, it is the
necessity of military education in the
commanders of our armies. The attempts
to excite vulgar prejudice against West
Point have died out of their own mani
fest folly. Thousands of our young vol
unteers are developing rare military ge-
MUS in the war. Let such have a chance
Tor tho right training in military science,
and we shall not henceforth lack efficient
commanders in any oxigency. Congress
will do well to consider this matter at the
present session.
We quote a single paragraph from
defense of West Point in the army and
Navy JournaI:-
"That West Point is the best sinoIe
school in the world we have the concurrent
opinions of English, French and German
officers. The French system, of schools
may be superior, but no one school is its
equal Not to concede this argues entire
Ignorance of the academy. But the tru-
est answer ut once to the attacks upon
West Point is found in the battle records
of this war The great soldiers on beth
sides are, almost to q man, graduates DF
West Point. We need not repent their
n0mes; every one is familiar with them.
Loyalty, the best and highest of public
virtues, is mistaken by many for ability.
The two combined are essential in order
to make generals and to win battles nnd
ali other things being equal the educated
officer is most likely. to combine the tgsn.
and like Grant, Meade, Rosecrans, Thon.
AS Gilmore and hundred Others. q
obtain the respect of their armies and
the love of their cOnntrymen, for their
patriotism, made practical by their West
Point training"
