The Changes in the Gladstone Min
lsIrN.

Important chan ges have taken place in
the English Ministry.
The Marquis OF RIPoN, President of the
Council and Mr. CHTLDERs, Chancellor of
the Duchy OF Lancaster, have resigned
their offices. Mr.. Bruce, the Home Secre-
tary, will be made peer and become
President of the Council, while Mr.. JoHN
BRIGHT succeeds Mr.. CHILDERs.
Mr.. ROBERT Lowe is removed from the
Office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, but
is allowed to become Home Secretary. Mr..
GLADSTONE himself, in addition to the Pre-
miershp, assumes the office of Chancellor
of the EXchequcr.
These changes are due to distinct causes,
making them necessary at this unusual
time.
just before the prorogation of Parlia-
ment, Nj. TREvELYAN moved the second
reading of the Household Franchise bill
By this bill it is proposed to extend the
franchise-which was given by the Reform
bill of 1867 10 householders in towns-to
agricultural laborers and county house
holders.
Besides the rural laborers now disfran-
chised, the cotton operatives, miners, and
artisans who live without the borough
limits cannot vote unless they are land
owners. This bill seeks to equaliZe the
suffrage privilege. II would enfranchise
some 100000 men and would lead To Il new
distribution Of parliamentary seats, as the
county members in some shires now repre-
sent Ave or ten times ms many inhabitants
Us the borough members.
l.
of the Council, and Mr.. BRUCE, the Home
Secretary, warmly supported Mr.. TREvEL-
yam, although stating that they did so as
individuals and not as members of the
Government. Mr.. FORSTER stated, how
ever, that Mr.. GLADSTONE thought the
extension of the household franchise could
not long be avoided; and il is con-
coded that the Liberals will adopt this rs
the main watchword with which TO 20 10
the country at the next election. The
resignation of the Marquis OF RIPoN and
Mr. CHLDERs is without doubt to be at
tributed to their not sympathizing with
this policy of Nj. GLADsToNE's.
But the removal of Mr. Lowe from his
position and the assumption of its duties
by the Premier is due TO the unfayorable
committee report in the matter of the
Zanzibar mail contract and the public cen
sure OF Mr.. LOVES conduct. Mr. GLAD
STONE cannot do without Mr.. LOVES sup
port in the tottering condition of the Min
istry; but he tries to regain the public
confidence in its financial administration
by undertaking the management of the
eXchequer himself
How strong contrast does this removal
of Mr.. LOWE from his Office present to the
manner in which cases of far more fragrant
maladministration are treated by Presi-
dent GRANT?
When RoBEsoN's connection with the
fraudulent SEcoR claim was exposed, in
stead of being removed from Office he
seemed to daily grow in favor with
GRANT.
So differently are the frauds of Cabinet
Ministers regarded by our President And
such seems to be the guiding principle on
which the present Administration is
conducted.

Mr.. Palmer has proved himself a discerning,

The grounds upon which VIC attribute this
beautiful production to Deacon Rich ard Smith
are a. clear IA they cogent. In the frat place
he is an Irshman, and every Irishman desires
first OF all to initiate the broken English OF G er-
many. Next he Ia very modest man. and al
though the poem Is original with the Gazette, It
Is publis he'd there unobtrusively, which would
never have been done had any of his wicked
partners been Its author. But the third ard
most conclusive reason Is that this poem ex-
presses nothing but goodness. IL is an amiable,
good-natured. sweet, arectlonate, and moral

The constitutional amendments which
were carried In North Carolina on Thursday
were generally advocated by the Democrats and
opposed by the Republicans. Among them was
one providing for biennial sessions of the Legis-
lature, instead OF annual sessions as at present (;
one exempting personal property OF value not
exceeding $500 from taxation and one or two
others designed to decrease the expenditures
Of the State Government. The most important
amendment however, was one striking out that
part Of the Constitution which relates to main
tanning the honor and good faith OF the state
untarnlshed and pledging the payment OF the
public debt, az this Ia looked upon as an impor-
tant step toward reputation. This is something
which has been threatened for long time. The
thleying carpet-bag governments which were
imposed upon North Carolina, against the will
Of the tax-payinr class, plundered that unfor-
tunate people without mercy, and rolled up
mountains Of debt which form a burden almost
too oppressive to be borne. The Wilmington
Journal says that IL VIII require tax Of t3.3 on
every one hundred dollars worth Of property Of
every sort to pay the interest on the public debt,
so called, and the expenses of State and county
government. In addition provisi on has been
made for leyying additional taxes each year
after 1850 for n sinking fund to pay the principal.
great portion Of these taxes must lie levied
on unproductive property and the hardships
that their summary collection would entail
upon men Ia moderate circumstances may well
be imagined. For the largest Part OF the colos-
sal debt of North Carolina the people have re-
ceivcd no consideration whatever. Tue money
has been squandered and stolen by men who
have been among the pillars of GRANTS Ad-
ministratiOn. 1t would be great misfortune

cure the necessary funds and complete the
ten sion lines from Sauk Rapids to Brainerd,

Division from st. Anthony to Breckinridge and
from ST. Paul to SGuk Rapids, and by the -.
Paul and Pacific line from Sauk Rapids to
Dtainerd, aud from st. Cloud To st. Vincent.

and IN 1871 undertook to build the other lines,
king a lease Of them for ninety mine years. To
obtain funds To carry out the work bonds to the
