than appears on the surface. 1t indicates the
spirit that ruled our State Department during
our civil war struggle for national existence
This department was essentially monarchical
in all its governmental hopes, and was disposed
to lend aid to everything which directly or re-
motely promised empire. Mr. Seward had
been privileged at one time to be face to face
with an emperor, and he always boasted of it
and counted il the happiest moment of his life.
There are indications that the now retired
old man left an influence behind him in the
State Department which still bows to royalty.
Z he best proof of this is that we treat Spain
as if she were our master, to whom we owe all
allegiance. We permit monarchical Europe to
hold Cuba, and Cuba is ceaseless threat
against republican America.

The Commercial Convention, composed OF dele

morning.
Hon. ID. >. Bennett, OF Buffalo, spoke In reference
to the granting Of national aid TO the Erie canal and
removing 10 from state politics.
The question OF the possibility OF procuring a re-
duc0n OF the canal tolls grain was discussed and
the appointment Of q committee to 20 to Albany
was strongly urged. Several New York members
declared that no heavy reduction could be secured

duced not only on the canal, but at Buffalo, Chicago
and Milwaukee, on the Northwestern road. and II

Creation Of Life Peerngcs in England.

Creation Of Life Peerngcs in England.
The proposal to create life peerages in Eng
land, according to the bill recently introduced
In the House Of Lords by Earl Russell, is not
altogether new, for similar proposition
was made few years ago, but il is a notable
sign of the political revolution going on in
Great Britain. Even England, the most con-
servative of nations, and the English people,
the slowest to move, feel the irresistible i'm
pulses of the age. Though they move, as the
mighty glaciers of the Alps, an inch at time,
they cannot resist the superintendent pressure
of modern liberalism and the eQualizing ten
denotes of modern civilization. The princi-
pies of political equality inaugurated in the
eighteenth century, and successfully carried
out in this great American republic, are pro-
ducing a radical change in England and on
the European Continent generally. Steam
power and the magnetic telegraph have given
within the last few years an extraordinary
impetus to the ideas of political and re-
publican equality. The idea Of o life peerage
naturally follows the late reform movement in
England and must lead to still greater changes.
The hereditary peerage has always been the
greatest obstacle to political progress and the
enfranchisement Of the masses, and the Gre
alton of life peerage, though seeming to us
Americans slow and short step towards a
strictly popular government, would be in
England n great stride in popularizing its in
stitutions. The statesmen of England, who,
for the most part, belong to the arstocratic
class, are sagacious enough to see the ne.
cessity of yielding to popular rights and the
spirit Of the age. Hence Earl Russell. one
of the old Bedford family, has taken the ini-
tiatiye in the new movement, and Lord Derby,
the head of the almost regal aristocracy Of the
house of Stanley Of Derby, approves of it.
Earl Russell was one Of the original reformers
and associated with Earl Grey, as Lord John
Russell. in carrying the Reform bill of $780,
For long time after. however, he resisted
any further reform or concession OF the fran
chise. and was dubbed for this conservatism
.'Finality Russell" lie seems disposed now
to take fresh start, partly with view, per-
haps, of cutting in between the present ad-
ministration party and the extreme tory
party, to reach the power Of office again,
and partly because he sees the necessity OF
making repairs, in order to save what can be
saved of the old aristocratic government ma
chine. Slow as England is to move from her
old conservative moorings and reluctant as
her governing class may be TO yield to popular
ideas, she cannot resist the impulses OF the
age, and is moving more rapidly every day in
the way of peaceful revolution, to be initiated
perhaps by the abolition of hereditary
peerages.

The Public Schcol Bil-A New Board of
Education.

Education.
The bill for the abolition of the present
Board of Education, and authorizing the
Mayor to appoint a new one, has passed both
houses of the Legislature and awaits only the
signature of the Governor to become law.
AS no one anticipates veto it may, we sup
pose, be regarded as practically law already.
BY the bill the power of the board to purchase
new school sites and to remove teachers is
limited, since to do either of these things
two thirds vote is now necessary. But the
great feature of the bill is its provision for
the future choice of Commissioners of Educa-
tiOn on the plan now in operation in the choice
of Supervisors. This plan has not worked
very well in regard to Supervisors-it has not
improved the character of that board yet it
has in its favor the argument that theoreti-
cally it provides for the rights of minorities,
and prevents the absolute supremacy Of
party. Seven commissioners are to be voted
for on each ticket, and Of the seven beaten
five are to be subsequently appointed by the
Mayor, to make up board of twelve. The
first election under this law will bein 1871. In
the meantime the bill legislates the present
board out of existence at once, and empowers
the Mayor to appoint new board to serve
till the first election. The only restriction is
that he shall recognize the principle of the
representation of the minority contemplated
by the bill. He must therefore appoint seven
democrats and five republicans. He has put
upon him by this law great responsibility,
and we have no fear that he will abuse it or
betray the confidence of the Legislature. He
must appoint first class men. He cannot go
wrong if on the democratic side he begins
with such name as that of Isaac Bell, and
keeps on with names worthy to bear it COM
pany. Another good name would be that of
Denning Duer. We think he should not omit
the present President of the Board, Mr.. Lar
remore. He should give rs such republicans
as Isaac Sherman and Horace Greeley. He
may by such use of his power give us reason
to rejoice at the passage of law that people
looked upon rather with fear than hope.

DEATM OF JonN BELL OF TENNESSEE.
Dispatches announce the death of this
distinguished and worthy man. Mr..
Bell was for little time before the com
menccment of tie rebellion in impaired
health, and the troubles Of the times
from that day to this have not tended to
improve it. Mr.. Bells fortune was in
considerable degree invested in extern
sive iron works and coal mines near
Chattanooga, which employed probably
from 500 TO 1000 mel. These were
seized by the rebels and appropriated to
casting cannon, and when our forces got
control OF the country they utterly des-
troyed them, and to that extent his for
tune was lost.
