MONDAY, JULY "a, 1871.

The Baltimore Sun says that the recent a5o-
lition of the purchase system in the British
Army is not only great change in itself, but
that the manner of the change is more startling
than the fact itself, and that 'the course that
Mr.. Gladstone has adopted is the most revolu-
tionary measure taken since the House OF
Lords was forced to suspend its sittiugs and
forego all participation in the work Of legisla-
ton, in the time of the commonwealth. Hardly
that. But it certainly shows that where the
House of Lords is considered by the nation as
an obstruction to changes it desires, it will
not be allowed to stand in the way of what may
be considered as reform, for any length of
time; or, in other words it proves that power
is gradually passing from the few to the many.
Some think the process is not to be hereafter
very gradual, either. Who would have thought,
few years ago,that such changes in the British
government would ever have been proposed
and accomplished under the leadership of Mr..
Gladstone.

Leaves of absence, it is stated, have been
granted to all of the North Carolina voters in
government employment to 60 home and vote
at the election to be held Thursday, Aug. 3.
The administration is assisting by every means
in its power to defeat the call for;' State con-
veution to be voted on that day. 1t is openly
declared that if convention is called and the
constitution altered 50 as to give the democra-
cy the control Of the Judiciary of the State,
two State governments will claim to be in ope-
ration, one Of which, under republican control,
will appeal to Congress for recognition. This
interference with the elections in North Caro-
lima is most shameful abuse Of power. The
practice we admit, is now common enough.
But it is not on that account the less to be
deprecated and denounced.

The Philadelphia Telegraph, of Saturday
afternoon last, says during the week various
troubles have been reported from several collier
les in Schuykill, which have had the effect Of
somewhat reducing the stock at the shipping
ports. The troubles are said to grow out of
the infringement of the agreement on either one
side or the other In some cases the difficulties
have been settled by means Of arbitration, but
in others collieres stand idle, without any
hope Of start. for some time to come. .
Is this thing never to end?

Saturday, was returning from the field, riding
his mule with the plough-gear on, and in at

BASKETS AND BUCKETS. How these con-
veniences have, of late, accumulated !; how
many more there are used than formerly, and
to what varied uses they are put Their value,
too, must have enhanced, for nearly the entire
''stock in trade" Of whole families, is basket
or bucket, and a cook without one or the other
or both is indeed q rara aris. From being the
pride and comfort of the housc-kecper baskets
and buckets have almost become 4 terror, Tor
under the shawl the necessary adjunct-that
covers the former and carefully envelopes the
latter what may not be hidden and taken off ?
Certainly not less than provisions for twenty
four hours for the idle Or vagrant husband, or
worthless son, or indolcnt children who COM
prise the 'famy' of the cook, Or if she have
no incumbrance, then her next friend. Miss
Mallory on the Chinese question" in which the
tricks of the cook were ''shown up by the I'M
sophisticated heather, is scarcely too highly
colored, for of everything that goes into the
kitchen, one third at least goes out, under COW
er of the inevitable shawl, in the basket, or
bucket. The question is frequently asked ''why
are there so many great strapping iders long
about, and how do they live?" Look into the
baskets and buckets of the cook when she re-
turns to her room at night, and the mystery
is solved. How the evil is to be corrected
whether baskets or buckets can be abolished by
enactment, are questions that rerplex all house
Keepers but that there ought to be some re-
dress against the growing evil and some protec-
ton against baskets and buckets, no one doubts;
especially the sufferers.

The GREAT MILLER ESTATE IN RICHMOND
CoURT.-The will of the late Samuel Miller, OF
Lynchburg, disposed of al immense estate, and
ourreaders will remember that the county OF
Albemarlc, tie University, and a large number
Of individuals were the recipients of requests
under it. 1t seems, however, that after the
will was made some of the property Of the
testator underwent Il change. For instance,
houses in Richmond were burned: others sold,
and the money rcinvcsted, while stocks increased
or deprecated in value. The result is that
there are any number Of questions connected
with the will and the property devised, calculated
to give rise TO litigation. The will is now
before Judge Wexford for construction, by
virtue Of u chancery suit brought by Nicholas X.
Page, executor of Samuel Miller deceased,
against the Board Of the Literary Fund and
others The argument will probably consume
to day as Il number Of eminent lawyers, repre-
senting various parties are here taking part i'll
it. We noticed in court yesterday, ofthe coull-
sci. Judge William Daniel, Judge John y.
Meredith, Judge William j. Robinson, Major
John W. Daniel, John L. Slaughter H. q. H..
Kean, and r. j, Craighill. Judge Alexander
Rives and Charles l.. Mosby are also employed
in the case The estate of Mr.. Miller at the
time of making the will was not worth more
than million, but its value is now about two
millions Of dollars. The State is party to the
litigation, and hence the suit is brought in the
Circuit Court of the city Of Richmond Other
suits growing out of this will, will be probably
decided in Noyember.-Rlch. Eyuurr.
