their record for the past three months? Here
in the last few days of an excited and crowded
session we have all the great financial, political
and commercial questions still unfinished, and
the country in the throes of political anguish
and suffering, with all her calls unheeded They
began with reconstruction committees, to whom
all measures looking to reconstruction were, by
an invariable rule, referred. That committee
have been at work for nearly two years, and not
bill, not proposed bill, even, from them has
become law and at the very end of the SEES
sion mongrel bill of no merit and paternity,
obnoxious to every objection, Conservative and
Radical, is crowded through and declared by
intense Radicals as a perfect performance OF
duty.
The men who proposed, months since, to i'm
peach the President for not doing his duty find
themselves obnoxious to every charge they have
brought against him. Black and white, loyal
and disloyal, in States of the South are suffer-
ing alike from the fact that Congress has not
only discarded their present governments, but
has not provided for the future civil organization
of those States upon republican basis. All the
initiatory steps taken by the President under
the Constitution to restore those States to their
full relations to the Federal Government have
been discarded and declared illegal. National

The annual election in this State occurs on
Thursday, 1st prox., when, despite the whole
sale disfranchisement of those who voluntarily
aided the Rebellion it is estimated that l25, 900
votes will be polled-more than were usually
cast in the equal and arduous contests Of 1910
to 1852 The poll slightly exceeded $50, 900
in 1860 and 1861; but the excitement in the
latter year was very great. The disfranohise-
ment of $4,000 Rebels renders Republican
triumph morally certain. The leading candi-
dates are as fOllows:-

The English Reform Bill.
From The Herald.

From Ue Herald.
After having passed through some strange
and stirring scenes and weathered many
stormy night, the Tory reform bill has at
length found its way to and been read a second
time in the House of Lords 1t amounts
almost to an absolute certainty that the bill
will have passed into law before the COM
mencement of the autumnal recess, and that
lords and honorable gentlemen, if they do not
find themselves at once amid the agonies of a
general election, will go to their shooting
quarters to ruminate upon the possible char
acter of the new and somewhat doubtful era
upon which their country has entered. The
laurels which the Wings since 1882 have, with
all the pride and jealousy of a long dominant
party, claimed as their own, have been skill
fully taken from them, and the Tories for the
next fifty years will be honorably spoken of
as the reformers of 1867.
The extent of the changes which this bill
will introduce is as yet but imperfectly known.
That it amounts practically to a revolution,
few will attempt to deny. The addition of
half a million of voters to the electoral roll
from classes some of whom have hitherto been
totally unrepresented, cannot fail to bring the
machine OF Government more Immediately
under the control of the popular will. 1t will
be strange if the increased rapidity of motion
on the part of the Government do not at once
startle and annoy many who have been accus-
toned to and contented with the laggard
movements of former times.
The aristocracy of England have acted wisely
and well in yielding gracefully and in time. BY
acting as they have done they have not only
added to the claims which they already have
upon the people, but have secured for them
selves lease of power which will continue at
least during the lives of the present genera
ton. The honor of this movement is due less
to the town aristocracy themselves than to the
man whom, willingly or unwillingly, they
recognize as their chief. England has been
saved nom revolution, not by the learning and
experience OF Derby, nor by the wisdom of
stanley, but by the genius of Benjamin Dis
Iaen' Whatever else may be said for or
agSlnst TINS man, this at least must be admit
ted-that he embodies in his individual person
most Oh the dominant qualities revealed by his
race, from Moses to Judas Iscariot. Had such
a man, and not NJ. Guizot, been the Minister
OF Louis fhihppe in February of ls48, the
mousse Oh Orlesns might still have possessed
the throne OF France In view of possible
coming evils we advise Louis Napoleon to look
out for some able Jew, and place himself nnder
his guidance. II possessed of the renuisita
qualifications, his lineal desoent from the
traitor or the impenitent thief shonld ba NO
objection. One such man would be worth the
whole batch of Schneiders and Roubers and
others on whom he is forced to lean.

community by putting its own notes I'm the

the bank lends him money; IL only lends its
own creont, III the bank was organized on a
specie basis, Pnd paid specie on demand for its
notes, the case would be varied. for the next
day, or within the next ten days. the notes
might come back for payment and the loan
would thus become a loan of money. and not
merely Of the banks own credit iWben the
national banks thus exchange notes with their
customers, giving their own notes without
interest for the notes of their customers with.
they are limited, it is true to the issue of such
notes as they have deposited bonds for i'm the
Currency Bureau at Washington. But those
deposited bonds yield the bank precisely the
same income that similar bonds do to private
holders. The banks are no more entitled to a
bonus from the community for owning this
kind of property than are the innumerable
other owners of the same kind of bonds. But
while other holders of bonds are content to
get six per cent, the banks received thirteen
six from the Government and seven from
the community, or rather the whole thirteen
from the latter, the Government being merely
an agent for collecting the six per cent. from
the community.
When men perfectly solvent and in good
credit pay the banks for mere exchange of
credit, it seems still greater absurdity II we
find out as we do in the case of the broken
banks, that the credit thus advantageously ex-
changed was really good for nothing. A man
exchanges his own solid credit against that of
an ipsolvent bank, and pays seven per cent. for
the difference And the enabling of our oiti-
zens to do this is the incalculable blessing be-.
slowed upon them by the creation of the ma
tional bank system
1t may be said that although the system may
ruin the depositors and fleece the customers
of the national banks it nevertheless per-
fectly secures the bill-holders. But even this
is not entirely true, although it must be con-
ceded that by borrowing this feature of the
New York banking system, which it sup
planted, it gives as good security as holders of
the notes of broken banks can ever expect.
When there comes general crash of these
unsafe institutions, and scores of them are
compelled to wind up at the same time, so
many of the deposited bonds will be thrown
upon the market that, in forced sale, their
price will sink to low figure, and spectators
will reap rich harvest at the expense of the
bill-hOlders. Even when these rotten con-
Germs break one by one, the bill-holders are not
completely protected. New York mechanics
and working-women who happen to be paid
their wages on Saturday night in notes of
the Unadilla Bank, will find to-day that the
grocers and butchers are not willing to take
them, and poor people who live from hand
to mouth may be put to shifts to supply their
tables during tn week.

THE REPUTATION CANDIDATE.

Judge SharsWoOd decided in the case
of Borie VS.. Trott, that when one man
contracted with another for the pay
ment of debt in gold or silver, he
could not pay that debtin paper money.
This decision, just and reasonable and
in accordance with correct principles as
it is, has been made, by the Radical
press, the subject of the grossest rnis
representation and the preteXt for the
vilest partizan abuse of its author. BY
such a course, it was, doubtless, hoped
to lessen the great popularity of that
eminent jurist as a candidate for the
suffrages ofthe people. But. the "howl-
ing Pharisee5" (ride Greeley who rails
ed the hue and cry against Judge
SharsWoOd, on account of this decision,
are beginning to discover that they
have only published an argument a.
gainst their own candidate. For, if
Judge Williams holds that when a
man contracts to pay gold or silver, he
can discharge his debt by paying green
backs, he holds that q man may deliber-
ately repWIiate his OlCa contract! Nay,
further, if he holds that Congress can
make greenbacks legal tender, and it
should enact that the interest on L. S.
Bonds shall be paid in Treasury notes,
instead Ofgold, he must also bold that
the Government can repudiate It's con-
tract acith those lchO hare uarested IN its
bonds! Such views make Judge Will
liams an advocate Of REPUTATION.
How do you like the outlook, friend
bond-hOlder?

A PRETTY BUSINESS.

1t appears that Mr.. Stanton, formerly
Secretary of War, kept corps polltl-
cal agents throughout the South, for the
distribution of campaign funds and
documents, and that these agents re-
ceived the pay of officers of the army.
There can be no doubt that these tools
of Stanton were used to band together
the negroes in the secret oath-b bound
associations which prevail so largely in
the excluded States. 1t turns out, also,
that that pattern of piety, Gen. O. o..
Howard, is receiving the pay of a Ma
jor General, as Superintendent of the
Freedmen's Bureau, whilst the act of
Congress fixes the pay of the Superin-
tendent at $4,000 per annum. O! o.!
Howard! Hadn't you better air your
patent piety little? So it goes! The
Soldier must wait for his bounty till
the Radical scoundrels get through
with establishing their black Know
Nothing lodges, and if there be any
money left in the Treasury after that,
perhaps the boys that wore the blue,
may get something. The following,
from the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun, throws a food
Of light on this subject:
The President sometime since direct
ed the Secretary of War to issue an or
der mastering out of service all vOlun-
teer officers not absolutely required,
and detail in their places officers Of the
regular army. 1t is now found that a
number of volunteer officers are yet in
service, receiving salaries, eSpeciallyin in
the South. Some of these who were
kept on duty by special order of the
President nOminally, but really upon
thesuggesti0n of Mr.. Stanton, are prom
inent officers of the republican Organi-
ZatiOn for the distribution of funds and
political documents in the Southern
States. Their salaries for this labor are
virtually paid by the government, for
their services are not required in the
department.. General How
ard is receiving the pay Of major gen
eral Of volunteers whilst acting super
of the Freedmen's Bureau.
The law does not require a military
officer in that position, and fixes the
salary at 50 900. 1t is understood that
an order will be issued shortly muster
ing out of service all such volunteer Off
GERS as can be dispensed with, and di-
reciing that the officers of the regular
army be assigned in theirplaces, when
ever practicable.

COUNTING THE COsT.-As we have
not omitted to mention before. the cost
of running the reconstruction law is to
be felt by taxpayers, debt-burdened
people of the country. To carry out
the work of registration alone, more
than million anda half of dollars, in
addition to the half million of last
spring, shave been appropriated. AS
little prominence as possible has been
given to this feature. The noise has
been made over the dradful obstinacy
of rebels, and especially over the rebel
lious state of the Presidential intentions.
Such clap-trap was never turned to lar
ger account. 1t costs the people two
millions of dollars this season; and
what the military expenditures are to
be can be guessed with considerable ac-
curacy. 1t was thought that the cOun-
try had fortunately succeeded in bring
down the military establishment to
modest standard but to advance parti-
san schemes hundreds of millions more
are to be piled upon the national debt,
to defray the necessary expenditures of
the War Department in the continued
military occupation of the Southern
States. There is a people rendered
helpless by the course and cost ola long
war. They have neither means nor
men. They frankly admit defeat, and
come forward to pledge themselves a
new to maintain the Union. They are
raising their first crop since the termi-
nation Of the contest, and now is the
time to restore all the former relations
with them, through the natural and
kindly agencies of trade and commerce.
Just when Providence itself drops the
suggestion, Congress mounts stricter
guard over them. 1t puts bayonets to
their thrOats, and denOunces them for
worse rebels than when they were in
arms. The country is kept in distrac-
ton by those means, and the people of
the North are expected to pay the bills
Of misruIe. How long will it last?-
