The RnsIish Reform Bill.
CHICAGO, July ga London cores
pondent gives a full summary Of the pro.
ceedinss in regard to the Reform bill.
The Ministry had constantly carried their
points by ~majorities ranging frfm s to "a,
when Lord Dunkillen moved that the
basis Of The borough, franchise should be
seven pounds ratable value instead OF
seven pounds rental value, which was es-
timated would make a difference Of 5000
persons in the number designed to be
qualified, 7 ratable being equal to 8
pounds rantal. The vote resulted in 306
for the Ministry and 3l7 for Dunkillen's
motion, and Parliament adjourned to
await the result.
All parties were already rallying for a
popular election, believing the dissolution
Of the Parliament inevitable, for Glad
had announced after the above vote that
from the mode Of REIMBURSEMENT pro-
posed In the bill, the ministry are not un-
der any circumstances or conditions pre-
pared to recede. By it we intend to
stand. The London Times endeavors to
mitigate and explain away the division,
which it considers as dealing with mere
details, and afirms that as it had no
necessary bearing upon the only princi-
pie now allowed to be in question, the
admission Of so many thousand poor
electors, the enlargement Of the constitu-
eney has not been definitely put to the
House.

General Santa Anna, who recently ar
rived at New York, and whossnondescSipt
postion between the Mexican parties has
attracted much attention, has just isshed
an address to the Mexican people, expikin-
ing his sentiments and present opihion.
He gives a long history of his past career.
and how he frat proclaimed the Republic
in 1922. He says he has always adhered
steadfastly to the Republic, and for his
adhesion was banished from Mexico by
Marshal Bazaine. after the French inter-
vension +; and sums up his past history by
saying: al. have thus in no manner COM
promised myself with the Empire. I be-
long entirely to the Republic, and in
presence Of the danger that menaces our
country, the names Of all parties disappear
from my sight. I am not a Conservative,
nor am I q Liberal, I am a Mexican" BE
states tina, during his career in Mexico he
could have assumed the Imperial purple,
but it never dazsled his eyes and If 1t
had, "the bloody picture Of Yturbide
| would have aroused him in time to fly
from the seductive and treacherous delu-
sion." he, with Mexicans in general,
consider they have erred in permitting
monarchy to get q fooshold in Mexico,
and be says, that having jointly erred and
suffered. they should repair their error.
He then goes into a long explanation why
he should be allowed to serve his country,
and states that no Mexican can "refuse
| his services without mourning the oppro-
brium Of history" Then exhorting them
to stand together and drive out the French
and Macmillan, he urges Juarez and
Orteea to sacrifice their rival claims to the
Presidency and 6sht alone for their coun.
try. In conclusion, Santa Anna pledges
himself to the Republic, and calls upon all
to witness his sincerity. ~ cannot, /
should not, nor Will I, close the book OF
my life with falsehood." It is to be hoped
that Santa Annals appeal, which is very
eloquent, and appears to be made in all
sincerity, will lead the Mexicans to unite
against Macmillan.

Lightning struck the ground on Brooks

considerable alarm among the people.

Lands for the Negroes.

One Of the signs uf The times is tho
passage o. an &C; which ia destined in a
measure TO influence the labor system of
the entire South, and yet which seems TO
have been ignored thus lar by the Argus
eyed Eiitors OF our section. We refer TO
the Homestead bill which transfers the
pubic lands in the States Of Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and
Florida 10 actual negro settlers. Size Of
lois eighty acres each. Freedmen are
permitted 20 occupy the lands At once
White mon who favored the rebellion ara
excluded until 1867. Bv the House bill,
rebels were excluded perpeluslly; TO this
the Senate would not consent. The com.
proms. is thus explained by tho CORES.

House in The Ccnfsremcs Committee

Of the exclusion Of active rebels from the
heneS's o! the act 10 The next six months,

ube neeroes) Of tho FIVE States to enter
land under it. General lio yard, as soon
ss the President has signed The hill, will
send Out special instructions 10 the agents
of the bureau 20 take every pains TO in.
form the colored people of the nature Of
ths act. and to induce them 10 exercise
the right Of selecting homesteads on the
public lands conferred upon them by it.
The Freed,nen's Bureau has had no bet.
ter opportunity for inestinable usefulness
since its establishment"
The folio wing is the amount Of public
land TO be donated to the negroes:
In Arkansss, 0,29sol2 70 acres.
In Alabama, 6.732 $50 Os acres.
In Florida, 1870 635 81 acres.
IN Louisiana, 6.228 l02 IS acres.

One Of the objects aimed at by this se.,
is to make the nsyross frseholders withs .

draw the freedmen from employment in
fields belonging to whites; it is intended
sa humiliation 10 the South; it is q
parcel Of the system Of confsca,ion advo'
GATED by Mr.. Stevens, Mr.. Sumner and
their Radical foIOwS'. As the Houston
Telegraph we'll observes, this Homestead
&C! will work an injury and a wrong to
the Southern States, but to the negro it
will prove an unmitgsted curse. Il will
dot :hs country with small thisrish set,

TO you through oil time be husled
Contcmpt aud a scorn undying,
The hiss Of the civilized world!
