The PA YMENT OF MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT.

In the British House of Commons yesterday
a member asked permission to bring in bill
providing for the payment of members of
Parliament. Permission was refused by a
majority of 1871, which settles the fate of this
new measure of reform for the present; but
there can scarcely be doubt that it will be
revived and carried at no distant day. Such
a measure is absolutely necessary, if Parla-
ment is to be like the Congress of the United
States, the real representative of the people,
and not of a privileged class. In the debate
that took place, Mr.. Gladstone said that he
regretted the inability of poor men
to serve in the House of Commons,
and he ardeutly wished to see the
representatives of the people present His
reasons for opposing the measure were that it
was generally thought that constituencies, as
better judges, should do the paying when
necessary, as in former times, and that gratui-
tous services We're the rule in England Mr.
Gladstone's objections seemed to be merely
founded upon the fact that the non-payment
of members was the custom, and that he did
not care to see that custom abolished, but so
long as he does oppose such measure as the
one under discussion, his professed wish to
see the representatives of the people in the
House of Commons will scarcely be considered
as very deep rooted or sincere. The payment
of members by their constituencies will not
be found to work nowadays, and if it were
to be tried it would open the door for an un-
limited amount of corrupton; and the only
safe and rational plan is that adopted by the
United States. Until the members of Parliament
are paid, poor men are practically excluded
and the entire control of the Government
remains in the hands of the wealthy classes
that have always welded it. AS a measure
Of reform this is scarcely less important than
the extension of the franchise, and in spite
of the opposition manifested at present, it
will certainly follow ere many years as a
natural sequence to those other reforms by
which the bounds of liberty are being ex-
tended in England, and the system of govern
ment being more than ever brought into con-
formity with that of the United States, with
the real power of the State in the hands of
the people to whom it rightfully belongs

Senate yesterday was taken up with very
silly and totally unnecessary discussion with
regard to the claims of different States

in response to the war proclamation of Presi-

arose out of resolution offered by Senator
Cameron, directing the Military Committee
to suggest some appropriate testimonial in
honor of the volunteers of Pennsylvania and

How the Democracy Toady to
Eastern Capitalists.

It is very common low days to
hear the Dem mocratic press complain
about New England ald her monop-
olies, and whine about eastern cap
italists and the great privileges they
enjoy. One would suppose il they
had the power in Congress they would
at once equalize tbs banking capital
of the country and wipe out all mo-
nopolies. But to those who are ia
miiiar with the Congressional record
of these professed reformers, their
pretensions are very ridiculous.
The National banks were organ
lied during the war. They could
only be organized where the neces-
sary surplus capital existed, and all
know that the West had not the
means to avail herself of her pro-
portion of bank circulation. The
greatmoney monopolists of the East
greedily took up the offer, for they
had the money. The southern States,
being in rebellion, got none. The
result was that Massachusetts and
Connecticut alone got ten millions
more bank circulation than the twen-
ty-six western and southern States
put together.
A bill was introduced in the last
Congress to equalize the banking
capital, and it provided for taking
twenty-five millions of this capital
from the eastern States, where they
had more than their share, AMI divid-
ing it among the western and South
ern States, some of which had none,
and others mere fraction of their
proportion. Here was chance for
the Democracy to have done a mani
festly just and proper thing, by vot-
ing to give our farmers, mechanics,
laborers and business men their fair
share of bank note paper, to enable
them to do business. But what did
they do? In the House OF Repre-
sentatives only four Democrats voted
for it, while forty four Democrats
voted against it, and of course voted
for continuing the moneyed monop-
oily of such men as Jim Fisk and all
the ring of stock and gold gamblers.
The bill passed both Houses, Hon.
John I. Wilson voting for it.-POrts-
mouth Tribune.

Where the Democrats Rule.

The Cincinnati Gazette "points {
moral" thus;
Hancock county, Ohio, has fol
several years been obstinately Demo
cratic. There three County Treas
urers have proved defaulters, in sue
cession, the last of these three hav-
ing disappeared recently, leaving
the county short from thirty to sixty
thousand dollars. In the same coun-
ty, the last Democratic Sheriff prov
ed a defaulter for $4,000, and the
Democratic County Commissioners
kindly gave the people an opportu-
nifty to vote tax to pay The amount,
but the people declined to do it.
In the Democratic county of
Franklin, the Treasurer proved a
defaulter, and was removed from
Office, but not prosecuted.
In the Democratic stronghold,
Butler county, the Treasurer took
upon himself to use the public
money, and the treasury was found
empty, when it should have contain
ed over hundred thousand dollars
in greenbacks.
In the Democratic city of New
York stealing is reduced to a sys-
TEN, and Democratic officials pocket
several million dollars of the public
money annually.
These things happen where the
party has undisputed control, and
the practice should be considered by
the people who are invited to help
the Democracy to obtain control of
State and National Governments.

COolie Labor Inaugurated by
Democracy.

In answer to the charges Of the
democratic press, that the Republi-
can party have encouraged CoOlie Ia
bor, the Pomeroy Telegraph reminds
them that the ''great Memphis Com
mercial Convention, held about a
year since, which proposed to i'm
port Cinnamon on an immense scale,
was composed almost entirely of
democrats. Why did not democrats
raise the alarm in thi: matter when
Southerners proposed to import
Coolies, to take the place of emanci-
pated negroesG Then they had uot
a word to say on the subject. And
you will look in vain through the
files Of democratic papers, printed
at The time of the Memphis Conven-
ton, for one word in condemnation
of the plan therein proposed for the
bringing in of Cinnamon by the hun.
dreds and thousands. The fact is
that Republican opposition to every
thing else than voluntary immigra-
tion dates back to the very beginning
of this whole matter, while demo-
cratic zeal on the subject is of quite
recent date.
