We have received by mail from New
York city circular which We publish
elsewhere, transmitted by authority OF
the Sovereign Royal Council. With this
exception, it is entirely anonymous. The
The cabalistic letters at the head of this
notice stand for the name of the associa-
ton, being the Holy League of Peers of
America. The seal is a curious device,
about three inches in diameter, represent
ing more things than we have time or
ability to describe.
The name is somewhat fantastic, and
the seal decidedly SO. Yet there is good
deal of sense and philosophy in the cir
cular. Some of the ideas are obscure;
others are, perhaps, absolute. But there
are nevertheless living principles affirmed
in it which commend themselves favor
ably to thoughtful men. The leading
idea appears to us to be that there is or
should be a sort of aristocracy of citizen
ship, SO far as the suffrage is concerned.

fortune, so much personal fitness, such as
education, ability, honesty and m orality.
Doubtless our country would be much
better off than it is, if all the voters
were of such character as to fill this
bill. But that it would be wise to exclude
all who can not pass in competitive ex-
animation is seriously questioned. The
best way to improve the franchise is 10
improve the voters, not to deny it to the
unlearned, the immoral and the corrupt.
The League will not probably accom-
plish much good, though it proposes
many things which we should like to see
become a part of our organic laws If
we could find a people to exactly fit the
system, they would prove to be of su-
perior order. We fear, however, it will
be many years before it will it ours.

posed to contest Mr.. Eustis' claim to the
credit of the thing as Democratic meas
ure. The bill originated in the House.
which is decidedly Dem ocratic- Conserva-
tive-Reform in its political complexion
The amount called for is the extraordinary
sum of SLY, 36T which, for purely re-
form Legislature, on the very threshold of
its career, and for ten days service, is, to
say the least, very steep. Of this amount the
Democratic House gets S9S, 1862 for its 10
members, which is at the rate of 1888 80
for each, while the Senate, with its thirty
six members, comes in for only SIS, 500,
giving S513 So per member. The Senate
however, had no back salaries to provide
for, at least there were but few of the
members who did not come forward in
time to get tn cir share of the appropria-
ton of the regular session, while the
members of the House, who as Mr.. Eustis
puts it, did not make haste to follow the
credentials furni shed them by the people,
have to be provided for now. Sixty-four
members of the H ouse stand in the cate
CORY of claiming mileage and per diem
for the sixty days they were locked up in
secret caucus in Deutsche Company Hall
Their advocates insist that no similar
number OF men ever moro fairly earned
their money than these Democratic men,
bers. Perhaps they did serve their party,
but we think that in that case their party
should pay them. The people have moth
ing to do with such claim. Those whom
they served are pr operly chargeable with
the expense incurred in the service, but
the State, which has received no possible
benefit from the protr acted strife, should
be exempt.
If session which lasted but ten DAYS
costs SLY, 1862, one of sixty days will cost,
under the same policy of Democratic re-
form measure, s703,972, which is not a |
very cheerful prospect. This is more
than three times what the late regular
session cost
In this connection, We note the slight
favor which Mr.. Persons patriotic reso-
luton received. He proposed. after re-
citing various "whereases," that the Cen
sral Assembly adjourn without making
my appropriation, and that the members,
n order to show their sincerity in the
business Of reform, donate their mileage
md per diem to the State. One of the
Democratic members from the city-Mr.
dammond-responded by saying that he
would vote for Mr.. Persons resolution
the Republicans would pass reform
measures. To this, We reply, very likely.
ince there is enough in the pretended
eform measures proposed at the extra
ession to amply compensate the Demo-
ratio party for the loss of mileage and
'er diem. Doubtless, as party measure,
he Democracy would gladly substitute
louise bill No. IS, for the legislative ap-
ropriation bill, and pay their members
y means of private contributions. There
7ould be big margin in such turn,
nd the reform measure would certainly
g charged to the account of the Democ-
scy.

BILLs--.THEIR MANUFACTURES.

In the universal belief that any mar
who has rendered party services is fit for
a legislator, the public has lost sight Of
most important fact. This is that all
legislators ought to be capable of draw
ing the bills Of enactment. Such is the
true rule of representative competency
for how can constituency hope to receive
their legislative rights if they elect man
who, if the Legislature should give his
constituents what they asked, could not
prepare the law which would assure the
gift. We do not say that no man is fit for
legislation who can not draw bill. but
We do assursdly ass ert that there should be
in every Legislature men competent to
prepare every bill for enactment. We say
this because it has been practice,
determined by long precedent that
many bills are prepared outside of the
Legislature, introduced on leave and
passed, in many instances, in condition
SO imperfect as to do great injustice, and
even to embarrass greatly the courts
which enforced them. This practice has
become so settled, that if one or more in
dividuals with legislative authority wish
to carry out their interests, they employ an
acute attorney, who prepares bill which
proposes in patriotic preamble to do
some great public good, and snake in
under the concealment of verbiage, some
provision which makes the fortune of the
applicant. We have never liked these
lawyers bills, CONGO ted in the interest of
the applicants, introduced on leave, and
rushed through in the name of some
popular member. We see few resolu-
tons Of inquiry into the expediency
of legislation referred to stand
ing committee, and reported back
with bill drawn in committee compre-
handed by the committee, and explained
by the committee. We have occasionally
noted the triumph of a lobbyist who has
had bill with "money in it" drawn by
an attorney, committed to some Repre-
sentative who favors the schem and s'put
through the Legislature. This lobbyist |
does not assign the least credit to the |
Legislature, or even to the attorney who |
brew the bill. He assumes the entire and |
exclusive credit to himself, and for the |
Increase of his practice cites the success

FUNNY DEMOCRATS.

We often wonder If every one calling
themselves Democrats know what i
means. We infer not. We have Demo
Gratis intent on granting the daily wants
of the people in monopoly to favored and
even to foreign cont FACTORS. The con.
sumption of gas, the nightly light of the
sick or the toiling people has been given
or has fallen into the hands of monopolists
living in Bait imore. It has been sold to
them for price, and has been by them
resold to a monopol y at home at still
better price; and how would a Democrat
suppose this monopoly was to be paid
for? By an additio nal tax on popular
consumption. A franchise valued at
more than million of dollars consists
solely in the right to impose tax on pop
ular consumption of that home necessity OF
labor, light. The new proprietors pro-
coed. upon the purchase of the franchise,
to levy an additional tax of fifty cents q
thousand feet cubic upon the gas con-
sumed by the people. The gas furnished
last year cost say So. There is no better
apparatus employed this year than last,
and yet the people must pay an additional
price to compensate the holders of a fran
chise which the people have granted We
have the same process proposed in re-
spect to the public water; and the private
markets and sales from the cart having
been prohibited or taxed out of use, the
food wants Of the people are to be taxed
and turned over to monopolists and
brokers. We see that the Bee is the zeal
GUS champion of real estate holders. 1t
afirms principle possibly true in
France, but absurd here, that the pros
perity of the community depends on
this low rate of tax on real estate. The
Bee ignores the tariff on labor and popu-
lar wants. This unjust and indirect tax
on popular consumption drives labor and
enterprise away. and without those ele-
ments of prosperity, if real estate should
be exempt from taxation. it could not
prosper. What is house worth, even
exempt from taxation, with out a tenant ?
What is such house worth if the tenant
has no income or wages ? All these propo-
sitions to relieve real estat e and pile up
taxes on popular consumption, every one
Of these schemes for hiring out the people
to monopolists for thirty years, come from

indirect taxes on consumption are advo-
