Public Opinion in Great Britain.

Public Opinion in Great Britain.
The London Times, which aims to express the
dominant public sentiment of Great Britain,
savagely attacks the House of Lords, declaring
it to be ''the most indolent and most useless
assembly in the world" The Times
declares that the debates of this body are
pointless and uninteresting that but few of its
members can attend its sessions; and that fire.
quently important business is transacted with
only three members present. Measures should
be taken, the Times thinks, if it be not toolate,
for the resuscitation of the body, which is in
danger of committing suicide.
The recent reformatory measures which
have passed the House of Commons, the Times
says, comprise the substance of political re-
volution greater even than that of 1882. The
aspect of every question has been changed by
it, and the transference of power effected by
the Reform bill calls for revision and re-
modelling of the whole English system.
These are significant avowals to be made by
the leading organ of public opinion in Great
Britain, and show how the doctrines of politi-
cal reform are gaining strength and influence
among all classes of English society.

1T is little curious that at this time, in
nearly all the large cities of the country, the
aqueduct question is up in serious form, and
new or additional machinery is required to fur
nish and distribute the needed supply of water.
This is true not only of our own city, but also
of New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Brooklyn, and, we think, of several other
cities. Reservoirs and engines are the principal
things upon which experiments are now making,
or which require reinforcement. The wisest
policy henceforth will be the most liberal and
long-sighted, since the days of doubt with re-
gard either TO the practicabllity or financial
success of city water-works were over scores Of
years ago,

The Rendering Unto Caesar.

In Great Britain, by special custom autho-
rized by law, the authority of the civil law
and the canon law is kept distinct. The
proper sphere of each is prescribed by statute,
and no decision before an ecclesiastical tribunal
has any weight on a judicial trial. In our own
land, where liberty of conscience is guaranteed,
we have no ecclesiastical courts, and the pro-
vince Of the religious authorities is not as
clearly separated from the secular as we should
desire. There seems to be continual ten
dency on the part of certain denominations to
encroach on the individual rights of their mem
bers, and issue rules to guide them in matters
purely personal, and certainly far beyond the
authorized jurisdiction of the Church. We
have been led to these remarks by despatch
narrating the proceedings of the Convention of
the Young Mems Christian Association now
sitting at Montreal. This despatch informs us
that that body has disapproved of the playing
of billiards, and vigorously denounced the en-
gaging in the game.
In the proceedings yesterday the Rev.
Mr.. Burnell stated, with great eagerness, that
the Chicago Association allowed no games
whatever in its rooms, but worked in sym
pathy with the churches. The Convention
actually adopted, we are informed, a resolu-
tion denouncing, in no measured terms, the
innocent game of billiards. game which in
Itself consists in knocking balls around with
the end ola stick. Now, in making such a
decision, we cannot but think that the Con
ventiOn forgot the words of our Lord. when
He told the Pharisees to render unto Cesar the
things that are C@sar's. In endeavoring to
prescribe what games shall be Christian and
what profane, we think that the body
has gone utterly beyond all justi-
fable boundaries, and has interfered
In matter with which they have
nothing to do. The game of billiards in itself
is certainly as blameless an amusement as any

SCHOOLS OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY Asso-
oIATIoN.-The schools sustained at the South
by the American Missionary Association are
very highly spoken of by candid and intelli-
gent observers, and the progress of the freed
people in acquiring the rudiments of useful
knowledge is very satisfactory. This Associa-
tion has for many years (from period long
before the war; been the devoted friend of the
colored people, and its success with them now
might reasonably have been expected.

The yachting fever, as our exchanges show
has been lately making fearful ravages among
the newspaper reporters. The columns sup
piled by that ingenious and industrious class
give startling testimony of the extent of the
malady. Sailor phrases, boating slang, club
gossip, all prevail, and a nautical language
composed of such expressions as fluff, you lub-
Der, luffl" and stake reef in the stove-pipe," !"
with plentiful illusions to ''her going in stays"
and showing her foreioot," declare at once the
gallantry and the professional experience of the
reporter.

The Austrian Government is wavering in its
Eastern policy. In general, it sides with Eng-
land in disapproving the reform measures advo-
Gated by Russia and her allies, Prussia, France,
and Italy, but more than once it has given a
reluctant adhesion to the proceedings of these
four powers. Thus we learn by a cable des
patch dated yesterday that it has now joined
Russia and the other powers in urging upon the
Turkish Government an investigation of the
troubles in Gambia.

of betting had been made we could un-
derstand the application of the prohibition, but
the opposition is based on the principle that
the time of the players might be better en-
ployed. Well, if that is to be the criterion,
why did not the Convention prescribe chess,
and chequers, and dominoes9 Time employed
in playing any of them might be
better employed. A study of Dod-
bridge, or Paley, or Butler is certainly
more edifying than any of these games Yet
we hardly think that Young Mems Christian
Associations would have dared to have inter
dicted them. The true maxim is, that any re-
creation not sinful is as allowable to members
OF the Church as TO the rest of the world. The
old story of the sad consequences to John Of
"having all work and no play" is too well
known to need repetition. We think,
therefore, that billiards and chess, and
every other game which pleasantly passes
time, without crime being attached, is not only
lawful but necessary. Time spent in recrea-
ton is no waste; and if such doctrine was to
be laid down by the divines of the present day,
the Church would grow too sombre for the
young, and would drive away from herself all
who have good supply Of animal spirits. We
recommend to the Convention to let Cesar
take care of his own things, and leave all
harmless games to such as desire to enjoy
them. There is too much of the Puritan
and the Pharisee in the action of the Con-
vention.

Mr.. Darlington, for the Govern

the jury that he was "c0nstiucticely
present, no matter how far off he
was"
The truth is, John Surratt is not
on trial so much as are Stanton,
Joe Holt and Bingham for the mur-
der of Mrs. Surratt. The great ef-
fort of the prosecution has been to
show that Mrs. Surratt was guilty
Of participation in the assassina-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln, and thereby
vindicate Stanton, Holt and Bing-
ham. The effort to this end has
been extraordinary on the part Of
these doers-to-death of Mrs. Surrat.
They have most signally failed
Indeed the evidence clearly proved
that Mrs. Surrat was innocent, and
that her misfortune was that she
kept a boarding-h g-house.-Eaq.

Lovely.

The Constitutional Convention
of New York has decided in favor
of giving the elective franchise tc
negroes, and against giving it tc
women. Not that they loved the
woman less, but that they loved
the colored person more. The de-

upon grounds entirely different

only were considered; in the case
of the woman, the public interest
was allowed to govern. The latter,

We have right to suppose that
