A Carefully Protected Sovereign.

Would not the method of voting pre-
scribed and practicedin California, if intro
duced in this part of the country, obviate
some of the evils usually attending cleo
tons? Would it not tend to preserve the
peace, to guard against fraud, and make
the voter independent of detection? The
method is thus described: There is no
crowd around the polling-place as in the
Eastern States. The crowd is half square
or more distant. The streets and side
walks are almost deserted for a hundred
feet each way from where the judges sit.
Over that vacant space goes now and then
a voter with his folded ballot in his hand.
He is not allowed even to open it within a
hundred feet of the box in which he is to
deposit IT. He is not permitted within
that distance to talk to any one about his
vote. All the electioneering must be done
as distance, and the man, when his mind
isnlade up and his ballot folded twice,
marches alone from the crowd, all alone
over the vacant space, realizing that he is
perfectly free and individually responsible.
He marches up like a man, with no can
yasserOr candidate to watch him, and de-
posts his folded ballot in the box.-Christ-

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to exz
press his honest opinion of the merits OF
any article without being suspected OF IN
terested motives. This fact, however,
shall not deter us from saying what we
think of a new addition to the Materla
Medica to which our attention has been
recently directed. We refer to DIR. j..
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTTTERs,
a remedy which is making its way into
more families just now than all the other
advertised medicines put together. Its
popularity, as far as we can Judge, IS not
based on empty pretension. There seems
to be no question about the potency OF Its
tonic and Alternative properties, while it
possesses the great negative recommends
ton of containing neither alcohol nor min
eral poison. That it is specific for ndl-
pestion. Biliousness, Constipation, and
many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know: and we are assured
on good authority that as a general invlg-
GRANT, regulating and purifying medicine,
it has no equal. 1t is stated that its ingre-
dients. obtained from the wilds of Cali
fornia,) are new tethe medical world; and
its extraordinary effects certainly warrant
the conclusion that it is compound OF
agents hitherto unknown. If popularity
is any criterion, there can. be no doubt OF
the efficiency of the VINEGAR B1TTERs, for
the sale of the article is immense and con-
hnually increasing. . -

Il WAR

At the last meeting of the Academy of
Moral and Political Sciences, M. Wolowski
discussed the effects of the payment of the
War. Indemnity on Germany. It's first
effect, he said, was to enable the country
to alter its monetary system, to obviate
the necessity of additional taxes, and to
allow the redemption Of the war loans
and to meet the expense OF renewing the
m0t6riel of war. On the other hand, the
Indemnity caused an increase of wages and
of the price of provisions. The former is
advantageous provided people make a
good use of the additional income, but COM
petent Judges have expressed doubts on
this point. They do not think the work
ing classes 10 Germany are prepared to
turn their supplementary wages to good
account, and since this sudden increase of
wealth the spirit of frugality has become
much rarer both among them and all classes
of the nation. Herr Wagner, a German
economist, congratulates his countrymen
on being able to live more comfortably
but he forgets that the increase of luxury
which does not result from productive
labour is neither a sign of prosperity nor
a means of attaining it. Socialism, more
over, SO prevalent in Germany, is hostile
to thrift. It's leaders expressly recommend
immediate enjoyment, and the Indemnity,
in their eyes, has only promoted evil ten
denotes. The middle classes, again, have
found their position deteriorated by the
rise of prices. which with them As not
compensated for by an augmentation OF
income. Excited by what has happened,
they have plunged into speculations but
disasters inseparable from such excuses
have destroyed a portion Of the capital,
and this loss has acted as al increase of
taxation. Germany" said NJ. Wolowski,
in conclusion, "has received a large sum-,
but the productive power of France has
not diminished. Her love Of industry and
economy remains intact. and justi6es the
hope Of better future"

ure to have its work done cheaper and
better than when united. Many planters
would gladly accept leases of their fields
from the proprietors, engaging to give all
the canes they grow, to the latter's Mill,
to keep a minimum acreage always in cane
for to supply the mill with a minimum
tonnage of cane yearly, being paid
for the canes on the system found to
answer best in the French Colonies,
the r~ent-charge being then deducted
from the amount to the planters credit.
The latter might in some cases, have to be
supported at first by advances from the pro-
prietor, but it is not likely q good planter
would long need such assistance. A pro-
prietor who adopts the separate system
will Immediately see it to his advantage
to encourage all around the Factory to
plant canes to keep it fed and to save
disappointment to the cane-grower and a
drop-of in the supply in following years,
he will need to enlarge the power of his
mill, and push out diverging tram lines.
1t would be suicidal to shew a cold in
difference and cause q loss to any who
plant for the Factory. Faith broken
would take years to restore, and mean
while the property would suffer ; while
with a good mutual understanding and
the enjoyment of reciprocal advantages,
the work of the mill would. augment from
year to year, as in several notable instances
in Martinique and Guadeloupe. The
great anxiety ofthe landowner being now
centred on his mill, he would certainly
seek the best advice and employ the ablest
men he could find, to direct the chemical
and mechanical operations ; and in a few
years we might trust to see the sugar
industry in these colonies attain as adj
vanced o position as that now SO proudly
held by the inferior beet. Whatever
margin the latter has for further improve
ment and saving, it is well ascertained
cane has very much more, but at present
we have enough to do to reach abreast
of beet. The hare has slept and allowed
the tortoise to gain the first heat. But
awakened to the danger, it would be fatG-
Gus to allow the despised thing to come
offhnal victor.

SUSPEND JUDGMENT.

The BEECHER-TILToN scandal was
the common topic of conversation upon
the streets and wherever citizens hap.
pened to meet yesterday. During the
whole day the scandal was discussed by
groups or pairs, and the large place which
HENRY WARD BEECHER has heretofore
filled in the popular regard was shown
nv the universal interest excited by
THEODORE TILTON'S damaging state
mcnt.
The prevalent impression seemed t" be
that TILToN'S array of facts was, rs he
himself STYLED it, "unanSwcrablc, al
though in every group there was some
one who insisted that Judgment should be
suspended until Mr.. BEECHER had been
heard in his own defense. There was Il
manifest reluctance, even in un-
expected quarters, to the dethron-
ing of popular idol, and Mr..
BEECHER had many stout detcn-
ders of whom he knows not and who
. know nothing of the man, but who know
the good influence of his forty years
preaching, and were unwilling to east
him out unheard.
There is much popular anxiety 10 learn
Mr.. BEECHER's version of the circum-
stances which TILToN has SO arttully ar
raved, and unless he now speaks, and in
clear terms shows his Innocence
to the world, he cannot escape the harsh
est of all human judgments. If TIL
Tons allegations be true, BEECHER would
better he dead.
To the readers of the REGISTER WI
advise a suspension of judgment in rela
ton to the case until all the evidence la:
been heard. The defendant is certainly
entitled toa candid and impartial hearing
and it is BY no means impossible that the
whole network of guilt which Mr.. TIL
TON has so cunningly woven around hi,
victim may be brushed away like cob
webs by the strong hand Of truth. The
facts will certainly be learned befor,
