Chapter have no more choice than the Presidential

LORD DERBY.
LONDON, Oct. 23.-Thirty years ago Lord
Brougham was reported to be killed by being thrown
out of a gig and the journals were filed with adj
mrabe articles on his character and career No ac-
cident had occurred and people said Lord Brougham
had himself sent the report of his death to the press
tc sec what would be said Of him. The suspicion
shows Of what the cratic Lord was thought capable
Lord Derby cannot be accused of this adrotness. In-
deed ii is foreign TO his character. No enemy sus
pected him of being otherwise than fearless reckless
and open. All subterfuge is opposite to his charac
ter Indeed his death has been deliberate that he
courtiers Gentlemen, beg your pardon for being
such an uncomfortable time dying" The Times has
dead department. where it treasures its stereotyped
columns of lives and characters ready drawn, to be
used at a moments notice of the death of man Of
mark Mrs Martineau has long furnished The Daily
Nacs with its admirable biographical notices for use
on these occasions; but if every eminent parsonage
would initiate Lord Derby, there would be ample
time to prepare the final estimate OF them. For a
fortnight his death was expected before it occurred,
and many said he would delay ihIs departure until
the Land Question in Ireland had been debated.
A political power has passed ont Of tho circle of
English politics by Lord Dcrby's death. The Con
servative center is now loose and limp. When Lord
Palmerston died every party felt relief. He repre-
sented contract He was real political Canute,
who did say to waves Of party Thus far shalt thou
CO. and no farther" and the waves Obeyed him. MI.
Golden and Mr.. Bright did not scruple to say
nothing would be done while Lord PaImerstOn
lyed.' The whole political atmosphere was cleared
when he died There were politicians, not person
ally dislikng Panerston. who did not scruple TO
publish that the world was wholesomer whom his
Lordship descended. With all Lord Derby's faults,
he inspires feelings of more respect and regret and
though his death brings hope, it is not associated
with contempt. Lord Derby succeeded the Duke Of
Wellington rs the arbtcr Of Conservative destiny.
On any great question the Duke Of Wellington car
red the proxies Of three-fourths of the Peers in his
pocket. and Lord Derby more or less, did the same
thing.
The English people, q rule, prefer an eminent
man who goes wrong with all his heart and with a
flash of gcnius about him. TO one who with errorless
medocrity, keeps in the prosac line OF woprety'
Aud they rather admired Lord Derby for his magnili-
cent rashness. He had long been terror 10 every
man Of prudence or shrewdness belonging 10 MS
party. When Democracy was first ATTAINING poitIcai
