THE REFORM BILL given England by the
last Parliament came from the hands of men
always opposed to Reform. 1t was con-
cession, hating assent, TO popular demand
That the work will stop at the point it
reached by that legislation is not expected
by either the friends or opponents of Pro-
gress. The Scottish National Reform League
held session at Glasgow, on September
18th, to which, in stating his inability to be
present, John Bright wrote as follows;-
AS to what Reformers should now do
have very distinct opinion. They should
continue their associations, and made a arond
effort for the ballot, This is necessary Moth
for burghs and counties, and there will he
no real representation without it. The bal
lot will more than double the value of the
now extended suffrage, and will give to pub
lie opinion freedom and power which ii
has never yet possessed in this country
The demand OF every Reformers should be
for the ballot, and if the demand be general
it will soon be gained.
John Stuart Mill expressed his ideas as to
the next work required by the Liberal cause,
in nearly the same terms as Mr. Bright II
is evident that the demand for " manhood
suffrage in Great Britain is one which can.
not much longer be resisted. Compliance
with it must be yielded In the concession
to a suffering people of long-denied rights.
the first yielding necessitates the cessiop Of
all. When once the avalanche moves ii /,
useless to talk of stopping it short of 1T
natural resting-place.

MIR. wAsHBURNE DEFINES THE GENERALS
POSITION.
NEW YoRk, Oct. AT Republican meeting,
in Galcna ILL.,. on the 9TH inst. Congressman Il.
B. Washburne defined General Grants position
in detail. As Mr. Washburne is in intimate friend
of the Generals, considerable interest is attached
to the statements made, which are In effect
that Gen. Grant Is in sympathy with Congress in
its reconstruction measures and that he had adj
viscd mn extra session and had used his influence
with Senators to accept the clause in the House
bill requiring the assent of the Senate to the re-
m0yal Of the District Commander, ftyoring re-
construction acts. Every effort of his had been
directed to the enforcement of the laws in their
letter and spirit and he had accepted the position
of Secretary OF War from stern sense Of duty
to the country, and TO prevent Its being filled by
a johnson man.
Mr.. Washburnc. also stated that his acceptance
OF position was with the knowledge and consent
of Mr.. Stanton after full consultation and an un-
Outstanding between them.
In regard to the General being candidate for
the Presidency, Mr.. Washburiic stated that he
had no right to speak.

PHlLApEIrHlA has been slaughtered and
sold IN the shambles, for several years past
by bad and corrupt men who acted under
the cloak of Republcanism, while they had
none of its principles truly at heart. Their
city ticket, this year, had not the name of a
single soldier. 1t had not one element OF
strength, except the excellent character and
eminent fitness of Russell Thayer. His wa.
a nomination eminently fit to be made; til,
Others were not, and the rebuke from til,
people may as well come now as ut any time
the sooner, the better, indeed for us.
Last year the Republicans in the State
Legislature enacted most stringent Excise
Law, regulating the sale of liquor, and ap-
plying to the whole State. 1t made heavy
load for the party to carry, especially in
Philadelphia, where the Liquor interest is,
of course, strong, and carried off many
German Republican votes.
The loss of Philadelphia is serious as an
example, but it is by no means a fatal de-
feat. The Republican party there, making
its nominations fairly, and putting forward
| its best men, is inyincible.

The Washington correspondence OF the Press
says:-
The telegram from the President to Gen. Sher-
MAN, ordering him to report here III person i'm
mcdiatcly, did not specify any cause for his relief
from duty on the Indian commission, and 1t il
supposed that, Notwithstanding the assertion Of
the Administration press to the contrary, Mr.
johnson intended to offer him the War Office
Finding, however, that the Generals fast friend
ship for General Grant, and his political prnci-
pies, which, whatever they may have been in the
past, are now similar to those entertained by Iii,
brother, Senator John Sherman, rendered the nc
cepance of the offer uncertain, the President hes
itated to make it, and it is probable that the

The MIsonIEvous EFFECT upon the Nation
al credit abroad, produced by the speeches
and letters of the repudiationists of Pendle-
tons stripe, and the scarcely less dishonest
scheme of General Butler, is just becoming
apparent. Foreign capitalists suppose that
the propositions to disregard our obligations
indicate at least q strong feeling among the
people in the same direction.
OF course no honest man has ever con
templated anything less than the payment OF
the national debt, IN the manner, at the time,
and in the coin or currency, promised. Dis
honesty in nations is no more dcfensible than
in individuals, and the consequences are as
unfortunate in one case as the other.

ALL THE INFORMATION RECEIVED leads to
the conclusion that the Democrats have car
ried Pennsylvania by about five thousand

Ohio has undoubtedly elected the Repub-

majority. The Constitutional Amendment

From Iowa there are not enough returns

CoNoERsING the State premium offered fol

CONCERNING the State premium offered for
laziness, the Dela,Uarean says:-
''If it is true, as above stated, that the tax
.'on travel has yielded 5000 year for
''three years, it is plain that the tax will sink
''the State debt within twelve years from the
''passage of the act, or that the tax can be
abolished nine years hence. In view Of
''this, and of the fact that the State war
''debt bonds have nearly seventeen years to
''run, we agree with the COMMERCIAL that an
abatement of the tax might be made in favor
''of those passengers whose business requires
''almost daily travel on the road for short
distances, also in favor of the purchasers

The UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAX on activity
which this State levies, by collecting ten
cents of everybody who travels in or across
it, has drawn during the three years of its
operation about 800, 900 per annum from one
railroad company. The most remarkable
feature about it is the fact that only one cor
poration pays the tax, everybody else defy
ing the law as utterly null and of no virtue
while the State is afraid to prosecute ant

ration pays only on its railway travel, ant
not on its steamboat passengers.
