that they care about politics'" Answer
"Not a farthng" Then follows a list Of cleo
tors with the profession of each, and the
price of the vote. Nothing can prevail
against facts; and the facts we have quoted
are not to be disguised by any sophistry 1t

it is for them we write) that the integrity of
the English electors is not greater according
as his worldly means or mental requirements
are smaller, and that the extension of the
right of suffrage is by no means an infallible
remedy for the venality of votes. All this
however, docs not preveat an electoral reform
from being inevitable and close at hand in
England as all parties have undertaken to
bring it about and have long since used the
question as a stepping stone to power But
again we say that the result OF the inquiries
is far from being favorable to large extern
sion of the franchise, and that the coming
reform bill will be adopted in spite Of revel-
atoms of the election commissions, but not on

Extension of Suffrage in Engia nd.


Facts cited by the Journal des Debats 90 to
prove that the extension of the right Of stuff
rage is by no means az infalble remedy for
the venality of voters. The result of the in
designations and inquiries is not favorable to
a large extension of the franchise The re-
form bill, it is said, will be adopted in spiteo
revelations of the election commissioners, but
not on their account. The commodity of votes
seems to depend upon the supply and de-
mand
If the constituency is very numerous, the
price of votes falls Just as it happens,
when wheat, -four, cotton, tobacco, and naval
stores are very abundant This is a melau-
choly commentary on the integrity of mem
bers of certain classes or upon common hui
manity. In the Yarmouth inquiry the Rel
gate Commission, and at Lancaster, the follow
ing Developments are cited and commented
upon by the Journal lies Debats as quoted by
the N. O. Bulletin
Now, on this question of the sale If votes
in England, We have not to argue on conlec-
said has pronounced, inasmuch as the ascer-
tanned result of the municipal elections, eff
fected by very numerous constituency, is
merely TO lower the price Of votes, as happens
in markets where supplies are very abuu-
dant.
But if votes are sold, some persons argue,
it is because the right of suffrage does not de-
scend low enough, but stops in that interlne-
die fa SI,hara whara tho eIactor 10 ,,o;t{ov v;al,
enough to be above temptation, nor vrtu3us
enough to resist it: while above and below
this levsl votes cease to be vena; above, by
reason of the wealth and position OF the vo-
ter; below, through the natural integrity of
the working classes.
Be it so-let US open number of the
Tunes, taken at random--that of the 18th for
instance, and let us make list of the electors
who have just acknowledge themselves bril-
bed by confessing the price paid for their
vote.
In the Yarmouth inquiry, on that day, out
OF very small number of witnesses, we fad
two carpenters, a navy a blacksmith, a
house painter, a joiner, two bakers and
! shoemaker; before the Reigate Commission,
a baker, gardener six carpenters, acobbler,
and billsticker, all confessed that they had
bartered their votes
Lastly, atLancaster, we get from a Mr..
Danson, an auctioneer by profession, but
purveyor Of votes at election times. the fol-
lowing deposition, more instructive than
volumes Of defamation on the subject:
The one hundred and fifty electors You
speak Ct are very slippery customers and only
vote for money. As soon as election ap
proaches, they leave off their work, and they
have to be kept by the candidates. Politics
are indifferent to them; money is their only

We call upon the producers to cooperate in
this movement and effect direct trade which
will give them the choice between the home
and the foreign market without resoeting to
port so much further distant from their own
doors. E
As we said ia a former article, when urg-
ing cooperation as essential to the establish
ment and success of direct trade, we repeat
here. Norfolk is the point for the terminus
of the line between the South and Liverpool.
And to all other sections in Virginia and the
South, we utter Macedonian cry, "Come
over and help u.s."

storms and Their Avoidance.

A correspondent in the Tribune alludes to
what he calls the plan Of avoiding a storm
He says it is well known that investigations
Of the subject have evolved the fact that our
heavy storms take circular course and OF
limited diameter. That their speed has been
ascertained, and that their general direction
in the northern hemisphere is to the North
east--the vortex of the storm being the most
violent and dangerous, and therefore to be
kept out of if possible. He makes reference
to the Central America, and remarks that the
late Capt. Hernaon kept the steamer within
the circle Of the storm If he had headed his
ship to the westward when he first entered
within the limited diameter of the storm, and
madea distance Of fifty miles he would have
excluded himself from the circle of the
storm and entered into good weather off Tybee
Light House, an in all probability, saved
his vessel, passengers and property. This
writer recommends the Use OF Peddington' S
book and storm card which is to be studied
well by the shipmaster. When the barome-
ter is observed to fall, and a heavy SWELL
which precedes as well as succeeds one of
these cyclones, the card is to be placed on
his chart according to the directions. In this
manner he can ascertain where the vortex of
the storm is and, Of course, take the proper
which will be the shortest, course to avoid
it,
The writer also alludes to the laxity of
law, or rather the absence of all law, in cases
where it would seem most manifest that
vessel should 90 into dock and undergo an ex-
animation He refers to the statement that
the Inflated Evening Star had been ashore,
and performed three voyages afterwards with
ont having her bottom repaired This
looseness, he observes, could MT happen in
England. 1t is made the duty of master,
by the maritime law of England, to report
any damage to the Board Of Trade which his
vessel may have sustained. And the penalty
for neglecting to do 80 is fixed at ESQ.
If the book and storm card of Mr.. Pedding-
ton are Of the character represented, certain
ly the information they contain should be
possessed by every shippaster, and they
should be made the rade mecum as it were,
especially in the storm season. A steamer
could always avoid a storm, and as they gen.
orally have d large number Of passengers,
great economy of human life would be one of
the results, not to mention the vast saving of
property.
