Reform i'm England,

The Reform bill has passed the House of
Lords in England and is now the law of the
realm 1t is the same as it passed the House
OF Commons, except that the minority repre-
scntation feature was added by the Lords and
accepted by the Commons While the bill
does not give universal suffrage, it is a near
er approach to it than Gladstone or Bright
anticipated, and both of these gentlemen
shrank back from the radicalism of the bill,
almost offering an apology for supporting SO
liberal measure. Although the measure
was at last supported by the tory govern
ment, it & ives more than any liberal ministry
ever asked 1t was strange scene in the
English Commons when the tories supported
bill too liberal for even the leaders of Re
formation that those who came into power
because they defeated Reform should in
granting suffrage. have gone far beyond the
men whom they displaced. They get little
credit however for heartiness in their liber-
alism, but are generally supposed to have
yielded to popular pressure, and to have ia
vored the bill to save their official positions
But whatever may be the motives of the
government, the people are deriving sub
stantial advantage from this step towards
Democracy; and this step is important
enough to make it quite sure that the time
is not far distant when no adult Englishman
will not have the right to vote. Every new
infusion of the popular element into the
British government gives additional power to
those who are working to enfranchise all the
people; and when tories and liberals vie
with each other in their efforts for extending
the suffrage, the time cannot be far away
when the ballot will be as free in England as
in the United States.

The newspapers of both parties, and of all
shades OF opinion in these parties, are busy
IN drawing conclusions, from Gen. Grant
action in accepting the position of Secretary
OF War, respecting his views upon recon
struction- There seems to be unnecessary
haste in this matter. The question is of lit
tie present moment, as the people have no
way OF altering the fact of Grants position
IN office, whatever his views may be (: and
most certainly it is quite too soon to nomin-
nate candidate for next President. As a
mere matter of speculation, however. there
is much to be said plausibly both for and
against Grants action.
If Gen. Grant had been private citizen.
and had been selected for and had accepted the
position Of Sec'y Of War, it would have a ford
ell a strong presumption that he favored the
Presidents policy and was ready to aid that
functionary in his attempt to put rebels in
power at the South. As general of the army
he was, however, in some sense. subject to
the commands of the President, and NAV have
construed his appointment as detail to
special duty. If civilian had been an
pointed to the Office, and Secretary Stanton
had refused to surrender the books, papers,
&c, Gen. Grant would have been compelled,
if the President had required it of him, to
use military force to eject Mr.. Stanton and
install the new appointee- Grant may have
foreseen that contingency, and have chosen
to avoid it by accepting the appointment him.
self, understanding that Mr.: Stanton would
in that case make no serious objection to sur
rendering the Office.
There is another aspect of the case Gen.
Grant understands, of course, his popularity.
and he knows that both the President and
the Democrats are anxious to put him in
position of antagonism to the Republican
party He understands, as a consequence of
this, that the President will have great hest
tation in having it appear that Gen. Grant,
of the war Office is not in |
with the Presidential plan, and, |
will, therefore, be careful to cause no break |

This railroad projecs is certainly progress
ing east Of US, however much Indifference
may be shown by the taxpayers of Montpelier
to the enterprise. The people of Portland
are wide awake. A meeting was held in That
city not long since Of the corporators Of the
Eaine portion Of the road. A report was
made, on behalf Of a committee appointed at
a previous meeting, By RxGoy. Washburn
from which we make the following extracts :
Ex-Governor Washbura, chairman of the
committee, reported that no steps have hith-
erto been taken towards opening books of
subscription. The committee regarded it rs
their first duty to demonstrate tho feasibility
OF the route, and TO that end had engaged two
competent engineers to make reconnaissance
OF tho line from tAis city TO she Vermont
border. The engineers, Messrs. John p.
Anderson and Charles j. Noyes, were to leave
the city today, and proceed TO Conway, and
thence to the Crawford House. where they
will meet Mr.. Lnsley, who has already sur
veyed the route through the Notch, and with
him pursue the Reconnaissance through New
Hampshire to the Vermont line. Arrange
ments have also been made for meeting.

is nearly matured. The committee had also
learned that the corporators of the Portland,
White Mountains and Ogdensburs Railroad
Company, lately chartered by the New
Hampshire legislature, propose to meet in a
short time for organization at Littleton.
Finally the committee have been in conference
during the week with responsible parties.

Hon. j. B. Brown, the weaIthfest person
in Maine, spoke at this meeting, and is thus
reported:
Hon. j. b. Brown made some remarks. ex-
claiming the proposition received for building

Bennington County Politics.

Politics in Bennington county is getting
mixed We gave sometime ago the regular
Republican nominations 4 convention bas
since been held, presided over by Hon. A. B
Gardner, and composed of Republicans and
Democrats, opposed to the project of loanine
the credit of the towns to building railroads.
at which the following ticket was nominated
For Scnators-John r. Gates, of Ben
nington John c. Roberts, of Manchester
For iSate's AHorney-A. NJ. Huling, OF
Bennington.
For assistant Judges-A. G. Parker, OF
Pownal James Martin, of Landgrove
For Sherif-Leander Powers, Of Benning-
FOR Judges Of Probate Bennington Dis
trlct-lhomas White, of Bennington Man
chester District-G w. FarwelI. Dorset.
For High Baihf-N. Andrews, of Airing
ton.
John r. Gates is Democrat. and John C.
Roberts is Republican. How the remain
der Of the ticket is divided politically we are
uniformed. We judge, by the support civ
en- to this ticket by the Rutland Courier, that
it will receive the votes of the Democrats
generally A new paper, in the interest of
this ticket, has been started, called the Ben
nlnSton Independent. The movement is also
connected, as we judge by the Bennington
banner, with an application for charter for
a railroad from the State line to Woodford,
which those who favor Mr.. Parks railroad
are opposing. 1t will also be carried into
The election of town representatives. We
know too little Of the merits Of this contro-

EDWIN NJ. STANTON, Sec'y of W
To Gen. o. S. Grant

f. j. Phelps, Esq, the Democratic candi-
date for governor. put in nomination by the
Rutland Courier, has declined to be consid-
cred as a candidate. This, however, only
makes the editor Of the Courier more in earn
est in pressing Mr.. Phelps upon the notice OF
the Democrats. Mr.. Cain says:
= Let Atkins vote for Edwards, if he wishes,
but we shall vote for E. j. Phelps--a gentle
man of marked ability, whom do know.
Both these votes count against Page. and as
the remainder of the State ticket will be sup
ported by both, the strength of the Demo-
cratic party can be ascertained by the com
bined vote of Phelps and Edwards. or by the
separate vote of Brigham and Williams for
Lieut.. Governor and Treasurer. The fact
that Mr.. Phelps does not wish to be.a candi-
date is the very reason why all good men
should vote for him, and such are the men
who ought to be elected, rather than those
who have forced themselves before the people
for their suffrages.
lnasmuch as the Democrats have no hope
OF electing governor, they ought to have
the privilege of voting for the person of their
choice.
