The English reformers having secured an ex-
tension of the right of suffrage, do not appear
to be satisfied, but are pushing on for fur
ther advance. At the next session Of Parla.
nent they will demand manhood suffrage and
the vote by ballot. England marches steadily
on towards universal suffrage; and it seems
hardly possible that the revolution begun there
can be stopped now.

Warlike rumors from Europe continue. At

weapons. Russia is disappointed at the mode
in which the map of Europe has recently been

THE Democratic State Convention of Wis
consin, held last week, was curious collection
of men of a fading generation, of obsolete
ideas, and quite barren Of modern notions.
The only new thing attempted proved failure
this was square -toed reputation, as set
forth in their last resolution, viz:
ResOlred, That we are in favor of the prompt
payment of the public debt in legal-tender
currency, the same on which il is based that
the people may b. relieved of the burden OF
taxation, that idle capital may be forced into
industrial pursuits, and that there may be one
class of currency for all classes of citizens
This was something too much of o good
thing, although reported as a regular plank in
the platform, and in order to get at it the reso-
lutions were voted upon separately, When
this came up, member proposed the follow
ing slightly different idea:
ResOlrcd, That we are in favor of the full
and punctual discharge of the national obliga
tons and debts, prccis 'ly on the conditions anc
terms on which they were contracted, and the
faith Of the Government pledged to its credi
tors.
This was carried, and the regulators retired
from view. We don't often fiud occasion tt
commend the action of a Democratic COnven
ton, and SO iniprove-this chance to give the
Wisconsin concern credit for manly act.

CONTRACTS FOR NEXT YEAR.

We have again arrived at the annual Transition
period, for which we are indebted to the ''marci
of freedom" The contracts of freedmen for thi
year are nearly out, and of course general trans
migration is the result; for the almost universe
rule is, that free American citizen must change
his base once year. A new home and new scene
of labor, with an interval of three or four week
for rest, have wondrous charms for the toil-worr
sons of Africa
It is, however, greatly to the interest of th'
community that this transition period should bt
abbreviated as much as possible. Vagrancy is :
great evil, and the sooner the freedmen become
settled in their homes for next year, the better
will be for them. and indeed for the whole commu
nifty. We would, therefore, suggest to our far
mers the propriety of making contracts for 1868 a
an early day as possible. The number Of freed
men who have made no arrangements yet is large
These freedmen are, in manner, on the public
until they contract and being without homes, the!
are liable to get themselves into mischief
The fact that the Convention will probably NEE
next month, and that many Of this class have yer!
extravagant notions about what it is going to d.
for them, is another consideration in favor Of ear
contracts The presence, in the District, OF I
number of these persons who have nothing to d.
but hold political meetings. is curse from which
we have thus far been exempt. 1t is hoped tina
at this time we may enjoy similar exemption
but the best way to accomplish this end, is to ge
the freedmen settled in their new homes.
