THE ENGLISH REFORM BILL.-The pending
reform bill in the British Parliament extends
the franchise by admitting new classes of the
people to the right of voting. In the counties,
the qualification of voters is reduced from fifty
pounds to fourteen pounds annual rental for
occupancy; and in the bOroughS it is reduced
to seven pounds rental and new class, the
dodgers, who are not househOlders, are admit
ted, if they pay ten pounds annually for their
rooms or apartments. This measure, it is
thought, will give the right to vote to several
millions who are now deprived of it. Mr..
Bright has announced his approval of the meas
ure. The bill does not affect Ireland, its pro-
visions referring only to England, Wales and
Scotland. In these three countries there
we're in 1864, lips, 754 voters, in population
of about $4,000, 900.

A Well Matched Pair.

We find in one of our exchanges letters from
two of the most vicious men in the South,
who, in ordinary times and under ordinary cir
cumstances, would never have attained official
acknowledgements BROwNLOw and Judge UN-
pERwooD. These men have become the chosen
and willing instruments Of Radicalism to do its
dirtiest work. Governor BROwNLOw, in let
ter to Judge KELLEY, of Philadelphia, de-
scribing the state Of things in Tennessee, says
- When / put the President in nomination at
" Baltimore for the Presidency, felt that
he had so thoroughly committed himself to
"the Union cause, and had been so badly
"treated by the rebels, it was impossible for
" him ever to get around to them again; but
" give him up as lost to the Union party, and
" as the man who is to head the rebels and
&c Democrats
Judge UNDERWOOD writes to THEoDORE TIL
TON, of the Independent, to say that " our Le-
legislature, just adjourned, was, with few
honorable exceptions, as thoroughly disloyal
" as any Richmond Legislature during the last
" five years." Also that " since the Divine
" institution is in name at least destroyed, the
" nearest approximation to it in fact is, in the
Judgment of these men, not only logical and
s. consistent, but absolutely necessary. This
q" is now the aim of our State Government, as
it is called and, unless it is restrained, as 1t
"has heretofore fortunately been by the war
"pewer, every true friend Of freedom and the
.sUnion, whether white or black, would find
"himself in condition not very different from
"that of DANIEL in the lions den"
We will only add the expression of an ar
dent hope that all such friends of d" freedom
and the Union" as UNDERWOOD will do as DAN
TEL did-get out of the lions den as soon as
possible.

NEGRO CELEBRATION ON THE THIRD OF
APRI.-The interest and Importance of the
negro celebration of the third of April were
chiefly derived from unpleasant possibilities
which, it was feared, might result from it. 1t
passed off, happily, without any such results
for which our thanks are not due to the au-
thority that risked so much to accomplish so
little, but to the conservatism of our popula-
ton and the admirable police arrangements
that we're made and so efficiently carried out.
We observe that the Northern papers, those
especially in the interest of the Radicals, pub
lish the most extravagant accounts of the num-
bers engaged in the celebration. They say
that seven or eight thousand negroes were in
the procession, and that twenty-five thousand
were on the streets. If this affair is of impor-
lance enough to be mentioned, it should be
correctly represented. Those accustomed to
estimate numbers agree in the opinion that the
number in the procession ranged from five to
eight hundred. Our own opinion is that 1t was
nearer the former than the latter. 1t certainly
did not exceed the latter. The streets were
undoubtedly thronged with negroes who would
have been in the streets if there had been no
procession, for the day was holiday. They
were not properly part of the pageant. 1t Is
due to the negroes to say that by far the
greater number objected to the demonstration
as unnecessary and improper. Nearly all who
live by their labor continued at their work.
The only part they took in the observsnces was
to ieer awkward but gaudily emblazoned mar
shals as they careered past them, looking as if
they would burst with selElmportance. The
we'll raised negro has a keen sense of the RI
diculous, and great contempt for those of his
own color who put on airs. The loud and
hearty guffaw was heard from the sidewalks
whenever any uncommon display of vanity was
made. As far as we could judge, most of
those in the procession were the common order
of negroes, or young bucks who wanted to
show themselves off in their finery, or the
hangers-on upon the Freedmen's Bureau. The
" colored aristocracy" looked with disdain upon
the whole proceeding.

The Civil Rights Bill-Expected Inefectual Effort
Against it in the House-The Radicals Jubilant
and COnndent-Difficulty of Executing the Civil
Rights Bill, &c.
WASHINGTON. April S-The civil rights bill will
take effect, as a law, Immediately after its passage
nv the House Mr. Raymond, It IS said, Is making
an effort to arrest its passage by the requisite two
thirds by rallying moderate republicans 70 the res
enc but il Is not probable that the thirty-eight
members who voted in the negative on the original
passage Of the bill will find their number increased
The current sets strongly in favor OF radcalism in
both houses. The radical or leading wing OF the
republican majority is very jubilant. They will
soon attempt greater achievements. new Freed
mems Bureau bill will soon be reported from the
Senate committee on the judiciary and the
same majority for it over the Presidents head
which was on Friday obtained is confidently
claimed. 2 - 80 ~ > y t.L
The radicals consider their power in Congress as
well established They had some reason to fear
that few leading Senators would, like Mr.. Cowan
and Mr.. Doolittle, take an independent position,
but this is no longer expected. SO anxious were
some of the leading republicans for the enactment
of the civil rights bill that they made Pvertures OF
compromise to the President whereby, ii he would
approve of this bill they would endeavor to secure
the admission of Southern loyal representation
Mr. Davis asserted the fact that this offer was made
by Senators and justice OF the United States Su.
preme Court in the Senate discussion on Friday, and
no one will deny it.
The President in preparing to execute the civil
rights bill will be obliged to call upon Congress fol
a modification of the test oath, which all officers
appointed under the law must take. The army OF
| commissioners, whose number is unlimited, must
be sent from the North, unless the test oath be so
| modified as to enable southern citizens to accept
the Office The President will not appoint citizens
promiscuously, according to the spirit of the bill
| to these offices. The question must soon be made
under this law whether the citizenship which it con
fers upon the blacks and upon the Chinese and the
gipsies &C., does not entte them to hold Office
The construction of the bill in several particulars is
still matter of dispute, and it must be settled by
appeals to the United States Supreme Court.

How NEGRO CREDULITY HAS BEEN IMPOSED
UPoN.-The Providence Journal tells smart
story of how a colored man in Providence,
falsely representing himself as an e1-slave, re-
Gently swindled one of his confding brethren
out of $500. We do not doubt that for every
such case at the North there are hundred
cases at the South of ex-slaves who are swim
died by their Northern brethren, white and
black, who have come on here to get all the
money they can under one pretext or another
as preachers, teachers, and what not. Under
philanthropic and religious pretences thousands
upon thousands of dollars have been gathered
from the credulous and conhding Southern ne
groes to support a set of worthless adventures
and impostors. 1t is gratifying to know that
the former have at length begun to find out the
true character and objects of these evolves

seem, after having done this, being attacked with
mental alteration, he took his pistol and shot him

the brain in the back part of the head. The report
of the pistol at once aroused the inmates of the
house. who FASTENED to his room where they found

IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-Some months ago
three civilians, named Bowles, Milligan, and
Hersey, were tried and convicted on the charge
of conspiracy, by military commission, and
sentenced to be hanged. President Johnson
committed their sentence to Imprisonment for
life. The case was brought before the United
States Supreme Court, which Tuesday decided
that they ought to be discharged from custody,
and that military commissions have no legal ju-
risdiction to try civilians.

SOME OF THE REsULTs.-The Petersburg IN
der says the refusal of justice to marry a
black man and white woman the refusal of a
hotel keeper to lodge or feed negro or of a
church to sell pew to a negro, subjects, by
the Civil Rights Bill, the " offending" party to
a fine of 81 900, or Imprisonment, or both.
The discrimination by any State between
whites and blacks in any of its laws, RENTS the
aggrieved black to the courts of the United
States for trial. So that, under the Civil Rights
Bill, the Federal courts will have cognizance
of murders, rapes, arsOns, robberies, and many
other crimes heretofore cognizable exclusively

SUCCESSFUL EDITORs-An English writer says :
A good editor, a competent newspaper conductor,
is like general or poet, born, not made. Exercise
and experience give facility, but the qualification is
innate, or it is never manifested On the London
daily papers all the great historians novests poets
essaysts and the writers of travels have been tried
and nearly every one has failed. 4 can, said the
late editor of the London Times find any number
of men of genius to write for me, but very seldom
one man of common sense Nearly all successful
editors are of this description. good editor sell
dom writes much for his paper; he reads, judges,
selects, Dictates alters, and combines and to do all
this well he has but little time for composition
To write for paper is one thing-to edit paper
another"
