GOVERNMENT TROUBLES.
| Some Of our fellow citizens who may
have been allowed to look in at the
grounds Of Deadlock Hall in the absence
OF the lordly proprietor on the continent,
have seen the smoothly shaven lawn and
the innocent deer" and have been told
remarkable stories of the plate, pic.
lures and rent roll. They have, there
fore. adopted violent attachment for the
institutions Of royalty. where people can
have such magnificent demesnes, and live
away in Italy or France, or pass their
mortal career amid the aristocracy of Lon
don.
There are. however. good many things
in England which give the government
trouble, and would even compel the sup
posed tourist to reflect that there is no
paradise nowadays without its poor
house and penitentiars. II the tourist
would talk with the toiles on the Dead
lock grounds. o. if he would walk along
with him to his cottage he would receive
. valuable lesson. The toiler would take
off his cap to his imagined superiors, he
would talk in a language which the tour
ist would barely recognize as English, he
would tell how he was liable 70 be taken
from his family and put in Jail if he did
not attend regularly to fulfill bis labor
contracts. He would take leave and enter
q cabin into which, perhaps. not even the
motives Of curiosity or philanthropy could
induce the tourist to follow him.
The REPUBLICAN, has often mentioned
that the white laborer Of England is still
subject to a bondage from which the
black laborer Of America has escaped.
The fear which English society enter.
tains Of these white laborers has passed
into its Parliament, and society refuses
he white laborer in England the right Of
suffrage, which has been extended to the
black laborer in the United States.
The Premier Of England has tumbled
into trouble from the growing feeling of
abolition in that country. He has been
almost beaten on voto upon ''the EN-.
ployers and workmen's bill" The Lon.
lon correspondent of the Cincinnati |
Commercial gives The following statement
# this discussion and vote:
The frst blow was on q clause of the !
employers and workmen bill" by which it |
vas provided that q failure to fulfill con-
ract should be punished BY imprisonment !
or period not exceeding one month. Mr..

'ers present. the government 60. a major
ty OF only twenty, the announcement being
eceived by a storm OF opposition cheers
feeling very weak, the government con.
ented to reduce tho period of imprison-
nent to fortnight. The second stagser-
ng experience OF the ministry waa on
lause by which they proposed to punish
wOrkmen" who, By breaking contracts,
ndangered the gas or water supply Of any
community. Mr.. Lowe proposed to substi
ute the word person for "workman." and
'ished to know why, If contractor or
apitalist neglected his contract to the pub
c injury. he should nos be punished as
luch as the "wOrkman" The government
lanaged to get only nineteen majority on
lie, and again there ran through the House
10 opposition cheers to which we have so
ing been uuaccustOmed.
Then there came an objection to the
preparation for the Prince Of Wales
sit to India, and the masses have entered
leir protest againstit. The correspondent
marks:
