DECREASING VorE.-The Woodbridge
Messenger, in an article on the Chinese
immigration to California, concludes
it as follows:
"At present the people Of the Pacific
Coast hold the balancing power in their
own hands; but by degrees that power is
growing beautifully less every year. In
1865 our State lost 5000 laboring vot-
ers and gained in Chinese population
1000. In 1866 we lost 5000 white vot-
ers and increased our Chinese popula-
ton 1000. Thus it can be seen that in
few years more the predominating class
es will be those of wealth, and of o SER
vile laboring element from China. In
this condition of affairs, what guarantee
will the middle or laboring classes have
of a continuance Of their social or civil
rights 2"

Zach is a monomaniac, and always

ENGLISH REFoRN.-Some Of the Eng
lish papers mention it, as N popularity
of the Derby Reform bill, that it pro-
poses to found suffrage upon the pauper-
ism of the country. II is estimated that
there are in England and Wales l,lo0,-
900 paupers-one in every sixteen in
northumberland the support of this mass
of poverty is, of course, a severe tax
upon the property of the kingdom. The
Reform bill allows every tenant who
pays a poor rate-that is, who pays d.
rectly, and does not compound it in his
rent to his landlord-to vote. By this
bill, the increase Of ~pauperism, and OF
taxation to support %pauperism, would
increase the number Of voters; and ii
Great Britain should ever succeed in
getting rid of this public pauperism,
which is almost unknown in France and
on the Continent generally, and in this
country, the abolition Of the poor rate
would disfrsuchise the voters. 1t is a
curious thing that the a~ristocratic party
in England should deliberately propose
to base suffrage upon pauperism.
