The small msjority by which the second
reading of the Reform Bill, which pro-
posed to extend the elective franchise con-
siderabIy, was carried on its second read
ing in the House of Commons, has led the
English ministryt to concede to the demand
of the opposition, and present to the House
the bill for the Redistribution of Seats
before final action was taken on the Re-
form Bill, thus enabling the House TO act
at once on the whole ministerial
scheme of Parliamentary Reform, in
stead of voting on one without knowing
what the other was to be. The
Bill for the Redistribution of Seats
proposes to do away, as much as possible,
with the abuses of the inequality of req
resentation which is the great bane of
English politics by eliminating some of
the "rotten boIoughs" and giving their
members to the larger towns. Nh. Glad
stone, in introducing it, stated that the
Bill proposed to obtain for disposal 49
seats, by the double operation of withdraw
ing one member from every borough at
present possessed of two, with a popula-
ton Of less than 5000, and by grouping
together as many of such boroughs as
could be collected together without geo
graphical convenience. Groups having
a population of under $4,000 would have
one member, those above that limit two,
and while the lowest in population would
have 10 600, the highest would have
2l,ooO. Forty-one seats would thus be
obtained by grouping, and eight by re-
ducing them from two to one member
each. This leaves f~orty-nine seats at the
disposal of the Government, of which it
is proposed to give tw~enty-six to the
counties, by dividing South Lancashire
into two parts, giving each Division three
members, and by giving a third member
to each Division of a county which, not
already having three members, according
to the census of 1861, possessed a popula-
ton of Is 600, exclusive of the present or
future borough constituencies. Five seats
are also given to the large boroughs of
Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham,
Leeds and Stafford. Eleven new eonstit-
uenc;es are created, with one member
each. The remaining seven seats are to
be given to the more pOpulous Scotch
constituencies. The measure is not what
it should be, but is a step in the right d.

From the Latin of Pslingenus.J
Not wine, as wine, mea chase, but as it came
From such or such a vintage tits the same
With life, which simply must be understood
A blank negation, if it be not good
But if tits wretched alias men decline
AND loathe the sour lees of corrupt d wine,
It's so to be contOmned. Merely TO be
Is not a boon to seek, nor i'll to fee,
Seeing that every vilest little thing
Has 1t in common, from a gnat's small wing,
A creeping worm, down to the moyeless s one
And crumbling bark from trees. Unless to be
And to be blest, be one, l do not see
In bare existence, as existence, aught
That's worthy to be loved, or to be sought.

The exclusion of Senators Cowan, Doc
little, and Nixon from the recent Repub-
lican Senatorial caucus was a deserved
rebuke to the treachery of these gentle
men to the Republican party and to their
constituencies. By their deliberate choice
they have set themselves with the Presi-
dent and against the Republicans. We
are glad that the Senators who represent
the firmly and d~evotedly loyal Unionists
are determined to rebuke all trucking
treaehery. Let it be known hat those
who are not for US are against us.

Independence in the senste.

The Union majority in the Senate have
at last, as we are glad to see, begun to as
sert the power of that body as a co-ordi-
nate branch of the Government. In its
last executive session, the Senate rejected
the nomination of James R. McKelvey
for Marshal of the Western District of
Pennsylvania; W. h. PuInell, Postmas-
ter at Baltimore; and Charles E. Grover,
Collector of Customs at Gloucester, Mass
achusetts. This r~esOlute proceeding on the
part Of the Executive branch of Congress
viii be hailed with satisfaction by the
country. Andrew johnson, having be-
trayed his party, is now using the patron
age of that party to compel others to be
IS as base as himself. 1t is a duty which
the Republican Senate owes to the Re-
publican party to put g stopto this whole
sale Generalization. If Andrew johnson
is determined to go to the bad himself, let
him go alone, or with his volunteer fol-
lowers, Doolittle and company. Let him
not corrupt thousands Of better men than
himself. who would remain virtuous but
for the ~corrupting power Of posto6eesAnd
collectorships. It is due 10 the Union
o~fice-holders of the country that Congress
stand BY them if they stand by their prin-
ciplos. As Thad. Stevens well said, Con-
gress must stand by them as long as they
stand by it Let the Senate interpose its
SIC protection between the independent Office
holders of the country and the tyrsnnical
djctation and revengeof Andrew johnson.

"a Costermonger' writes, in the Lon

urged by the opponents of the Reform
Bill
"Ifmen always d their dinners,
How would charity survive?
If they wasn't wicked sinners,
How'd the bench o. bishops thrive?

Adams.
A marriage is arranged between Miss
Russell, only daughter of Mr.. William
Russell, one Of the correspondents of the
London Times, and Lieutenant-C Colonel
McNsughten, of the Eighth Hussars.
Through the skill of Mr.. Chabots, an
expert in handwriting, the hoax on the
Times has been discovered, andthe author
has been dismissed from his employment

The Paris papers tell us in melancholy
tones that Mile. Theresa has for some
time been prevented singing her famous
songs by family bereavement-the loss
of her favorite spaniel, Titus, which ex-
pired in her arms after several days of the
most cruel suffering.
Some of the Italian Journals state that
after the ball given to the King of Italy
by the City of Milan, his Majesty said to
the members of the Municipality: "Gen-
tlemen, you have given me a ballat Milan;
next year l viii return the compliment
by giving you a supper at Venice"
The attempted assassination of the En-
peror of Russia was, it is now stated, a
regular conspiracy, and above a hundred
arrests have been made at st. Petersburg
and Moscow, while in Warsaw three times
that number have been placed under the
surveillance of the police. II is thought
to be chiefly the work of discontinued
noblas opposed to the elevation of the
serfs.
The Emperor Napoleon has conferred
the title of Duke upon the Count Colonna
Walewski. The Second Empire has thus
created seven Observation-Disclosures, de
Montmorot (son of Queen Christina),
Magenta, de Morny, de Persigny, de
Montmorency, and de Colonna Walewski.
OF this number two, the dukedoms of
Malakoff and de Montmorot, have already
become extinct.
The Nord relates an episode of the
soiree dansante just given at the Tuil-
leries. M. de Goltz and Prince Meter
Mich were talking confidently together in
the recess of one of the windows. The
Emperor, perceiving the intimate nature
of the conversation, went towards the
speakers, and said in a tone loud enough
to be heard by those standing nigh, aAh,
Prussia and Austria, thus do I love to see
you together" Having uttered this re-
markable speech his Majesty, according
to the Nord, passed on, while the two d.
plomats, with an affectation of intimacy,
remained talking together for some time
longer.
A man by the name of William Car

A London letter says 1.-The readings
OF the prosecuted Mrs. Yelverton, given
at Willis Rooms, have been an unequivo-
cal success. She is a delicate looking
blonde, small and slender, with an attrac-
tive c~ountenance and beautiful eyes. Ex-
eeedingly nervous and timid, as a natural
consequence she has not full command of
her powers, yet she reads with much taste
and feeling. We hear that she has, at
this moment, three hundred invitations to
give readings. She usually clears over
fl00 per night, and will be able to make,
if she fulfills her engagements, $500 per
week. We understand that the article
entitled An Infused Woman" written
by the editor of the Cosmopolitan, had SO
much influence, that the jury who decid-
ed against Mrs. Yelverton have signed a
testimonial, stating that they misunder-
stood the charge of the Judge"

The difference between the President

The difference between the President
and Congress, is this: The President
wishes the Union party to carry out
the individual principles of Andrew
johnson, while Congress demands that he
should carry out the principles of the
great Union party that elected him.
The Herald, for the sake of q petty Office,
has forsaken the principles of that grand
party and taken to the individual princi-

How to Do lt-W. w. Armstrong, of
Tifin.

W. W Armstrong, editor of the Plain
Dealer, was urged to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Secretary of State,
but o~bstinately refused. 1t now appears
that he expects to go to Congress from
the Sandusky district. Mr.. Armstrong,
besides owning one-hslf of the Plain
Dealer and spending his W time in
Cleveland, also owns the Seneca AdUer-
tiser, published at Tiffin, at which place
his family reside. This explains the edi-
tors patriotic refusal of The Secretary
ship! Retaining a residence in this Con-
gressional district and controlling two
newspapers, he may expect to walk over
the course to a nomination, but we assure
him that several aspiring Copperheads
h~ereaboRts will make his task no light

Mr.. Charles A. Dana, late Assistant
Secretary of War, has dissolved his edi-
torial connection in Chicago, and is about
to return 10 New York.
The residence of Hon. George 3. PEN
dleton was entered one night recently, by
a party of the thieves who are now
infesting and operating in the suburbs.
The fellows did not find anything worth
stealing, save several bottles of good
Democratic whisky, and a square meal
of eggs, which the leisurely cooked IN the
kitchen while Hon. George H. and family
were slumbering soundly.
The Independent in acknowledging the
reception of a p~hotograh of Mr.. Beecher
truthfullyy remarks ait takes at least
ten photogr2phs-from different positions,
and catching different moods of mind
to give an adequate idea of any striking
and unusual face. Perhaps this photo
graph OF Mr.. Beecher is as faithful as any
single picture could be. But it suggests
a good looking man.
