THE PROGRESS OF REFORM IN
ENGLAND

In England reform movements commonly
progress by slow but sure degrees. Every ad-
vance is metby determined opposition from
the Conservatives, who are either interested
ia the perpetuation of abuses, or who have
that genuine British dislike for change in the
established order of things which is unable to
see good in anything that has not the sane
ton Of antiquity. measure of reform,
however, when once started, gathers power
and adherents until it becomes irresistible;
and, although the most influential and wealthy
classes are arrayed against it, the matter is
finally brought to pass. The Irish Church is
one of the most prolific causes of discomfort
that the Irish people suffer under. And the
injustice is, if anything, the more grievous as
it is to a great extent of sentimental ma
ture. 1t is badge of conquest
that touches sensitive people in the most
sensitive portions of their nature; and disin-
terested observers have long been of the OPT
Mon that the pacifcation of Ireland must
commence with the disestablishment of the
Irish Church. The agitation of the question
las produced it's legitimate results, and this
Church is now about to be placed upon an
equality with other religious denominations;
and it will have to maintain itself by its own
exertions, and compete with other religious
organizations on something like equal terms.
1t is curious to note the progress that has
been made in the disestablishment question
even within the last twelve months The
following table exhibits the divisions in the
Lords and Commons on the Suspensory bill
last year and on the Irish Church bill within
the present year,
DIVISIONS ON sUsPENsoRY BIIIs-1s6S.
Commons. Lords.
Highest No in favor $3.50 Highest No in favor 97
Average majority for. 60 Absolute maj. against. 80
DIVISIONS ON IRISH CHURCH BnI-1S69
Commons. Lords
Highest No. in favor. 36S Highest No in favor .179
Average majority for 113 Absolute majority for. 33
In this connection, it is q somewhat re-
markable fact that within the last twenty
years the Tories have only been defeated
twice in the House of Lords in party divi-
sions. Lord Derby's vote of censure on the
Palmerston Ministry in 1857 was lost by
36 votes, and the bill for the disestablish-
ment of the Irish Church passed to second
reading by majority of 36. These facts
show how strong the conservative feeling is
in the upper house, and how impossible it is
to have any great reform movement carried
except under extreme pressure.

TYE CONsTITU7TONALITY or THE
REG LSTRY Ia w

W., ,,,bl;sb elsewhere this afternoon the
FulJ opinion of Judge Agnew, sustaining, in
the most unqualified manner, the constitu-
,;onalitv of the Registry law passed at the
last session of the Legislature. This law was
recently declared to be in conflict with the
Constitution of the State by Judge Shars-
wood holding the Nis Prius Court; but his
;udgment has been reversed by the Court in
Rano. three of the Judges-Agnew, Read,
and williamsburg of the opinion that none
of its provisions are in conflict with the Oon-
stitution, while Chief Justice Thompson
unites with Judge Sharswood in sustaining
the recent decision of the latter. The result
of the appeal to the court of last resort will
give entire satisfaction to all the citizens OF
Philadelphia who earnestly and honestly
desire to see the ballot-box purified and kept
pure hereafter. The law may possibly be de-
feotive or impracticable in some OF It's de-
tails, but time and experience will point out
these defects, and give us an opportunity to
remedy them as fast as they are manifested.
The point of Judge Sharswoods adverse
decision at Nisi Prius was that the law de-
stroyed the freedom and equality of elections
which the Constitution of the State demands.
This position is fairly overturned by the
opinion of the majority, Judge Agnew giving
the following answer to the question, to whom
are the elections free? "They are free 0aly
to tie qualified electors of the Commonwealth;
clearly they are not free to the unqualified.
1t is the duty of the Legislature to
secure freedom and equality by such regua-
tions as will exclude the unqualified, and
allow the qualified only to vote" The effect
of the law as it acts upon the men who have
striven to make our elections the most shame
less farces is thus tersely summed up by
Judge Agnew -'It is true there is a kind
of liberty this Registry law will
destroy. 1t is that licentiousness, that adul-
ferrous freedom which surrenders the polls to
hirelings and vagabonds, outcasts from home
and honest industry, men without citizenship
or stake in the Government, men who will
commit perjury, violence, or murder itself. "
Such are the men whom this law will tend to
curb; and as far as it sufices to do SO, it
should and will receive the unqualified en-
dorsement of the mass of honest voters,
whose enemies they are If experience
should prove that any of its provisions are
burdensome upon the honest voter, or i'm
practicable in their application, as we have
already said it will be comparatively easy to
remedy them before the evils resulting there
from can approach in magnitude and enormity
the glaring abuses which have so long been
possible of perpetration simply and solely
because no such law has been in force.

The NEW DIRECTORS or CITY
TRUSTS

We print in our local columns the bill passed
at the last session of the Legislature, which is
designed to transfer the charitable bequests
subject to municipal management to new
board of fifteen directors, consisting OF the
Mayor of Philadelphia, the Presidents OF the
Select and Common Councils and twelve citi
zens appointed by the Courts. The fate OF
this bill during the last three months appeared
doubtful, as Governor Geary did not append
his signature to it until few days ago, but it
has now become law, and the new board
will be organized this afternoon.
Several important legal questions may arise
under this new enactment Inasmuch as the
principal bequest which it will affect, the
Girard estate was entrusted to the manage
ment of this city, it would be extremely un-
fortunate for the present and future genera
tions of orphans if the proposed transfer of
authority to commission, appointed in part
by the Supreme Judges of the State, should
revive the dropping hopes of the heirs of
Stephen Girard, and give them an opportu-
nifty for once more contesting this long-dis-
Duted case in the Courts. 1t must not be
forgotten that strong combinations of lawyers
and politicians have been formed, at various
times, to devise pretexts for seizing this mag
nifcent property; and the general course of
the last Legislature was SO infamous, that it
was not incapable of abetting these schemes.
II would be extremely unfortunate if the
effort to secure better management for Girard
COLLEGE should lead to the transfer of the
entire estate to few collateral heirs and
horde of hungry spectators. Before the
proposed change is made, we hope all doubts
Of this kind will be fully set at rest by an
authoritative decision, and that the men who
have faithfully guarded the heritage of the
orphans heretofore will gnard it still.
II is also alleged that some OF the trusts
affected by the new dill are we'll managed by
their present directors, and that more harm
than good will probably result from the pro
posed change.
Aside from these objections, which, on in
vestigation, may not prove well founded,
the underlying principle of the new law is
GOOD one: and if we were not admonlshed 10y
ancient experience to distrust the Greeks when
they bring us gifts, we should heartily com
mend it. The various commissions now en-
trusted with the management of other mum
oipal concerns discharge their duties in a mucf
more creditable manner than the partisan
boards which were formerly elected, and

BORRO WE'D THUNDER.

ANDREW JOHNSON, a retired Tennessee
breeches- maker, who drifted into politics, and
by mysterious dispensation of Providence
became President of the United States, made
a number of speeches which were chiefly re-
markable for what might be called dish
water flavor. No public, man of this century
certainly, has uttered the same number of
platitudes unrelieved by anything but vitu-
peration as this man. 1t would be difficult
to find in all his performances literary or ora
torical, a single sound, sensible idea, a single
word or expression that has taken hold of the
popular fancy, except his famous declaration
that ''treason must be made odious. This
is one of those epigrammatic utterances like
the 'irrepressiblc conflict, ''Let us have
peace, and others that go straight to the
mark, and become popular watchwords in the
discussion of the great political questions of
the day. 1t has often been matter of sur
prise that Johnson should have got off any
thing SO good as this, and his claims to being
the originator of the phrase are disputed in
favor of MI. Robson, the new Secretary of
the Navy, who is said to have used it in the
Union League rooms in this city during dis
cussion about the probable policy of the Gov
ernment at the close of the recent Rebellion.
Mr.. Robeson's language was shortly after
repeated in Johnson's hearing and this
phrase in particular appeared to tickle his
fancy amazingly. A few days afterwards he
made use of it in a speech, and was credited
with it accordingly. 1t seems almost pity
that the only good thing A. ]. ever said
should now be proved to have been borrowed
thunder.
