The English Railway Tragedy.

LONDON. June 29th.-The murder OF
Gould on the London and Brighton Railway
excites intense interest. The real name OF
LEROY. who is the suspected person, is Henry
Mapleton. He eluded the police and is still
missing. The murdered man, Gould, was in
the habit of travelling on the train in ques-
ton. Some articles were found on the per-
son of LEROY and also beside the murdered
man which it is thought will implicate the
former. LEROY claimed to be the author of
" Pins and Needless" now being played in
the United States, and is author of several
burlesqnes and opera bouffes performed in
Melbourne and throughout Australia.
SECOND DIsPATCHl
LONDON, June 29th.-The murder on the
London and Brighton road, one of the most
frequented lines leading out Of the rnetropo-
liz, excites the keenest interest everywhere.
LEROY told q strange story to the railroad
officials how, after leaving Crowdon, he had
heard shot fred and felt blow on his
head, upon which he became insensible, and
only recovered consciousness on reaching
Preston Park. When he recovered, he said,
he found himself the only occupant of the
compartment with pool of blood at his
feet. He could not tell who fred the shot,
but had an impression that it was not the
old gentleman who sat opposite to him. Lee
troy was taken to the police office at Brigh-
ton, where he gave the above particulars, and
afterwards had his wounds dressed at the
County Hospital, and was permitted to leave
for his home.
The Question of Domestic Reforms in
England.
NV YORK, June 29tb The Worlds Lon
don special says: Now that the land bill is
safe, SO far as the House of Commons is con-
cerned, and that law and order are being re-
stored in Ireland, the Radicals are turning
their attention to the great domestic reforms
upon which they have set their hearts The
assimilation OF the borough and county fran
chise will be comparatively easy job. The
Tories who approved of Disraeli,s reform
bill of 1867 cannot logically resist its applica-
ton to the agricultural laborers, nor would it
be prudent for the Tory chiefs to attempt
to defeat such measures. The laborers are
now bound together in union, and are
swayed by central committee comprising
men like Joseph Arch, who are both wise
and vigorous leaders. If it is commended
| that they are illiterate, and therefore unfit to
exercise the franchise, they may truly answer
that the fault is not theirs, but the sauires
and the parsons. Asregards education, how
ever, they are not one whit behind tens of
thousands CT that "residuuiu which Disraeli
was not afraid to intrust with power. The
most important of the great questions of re-
form will be redistribution. Fifty years have
elapsed since Lord Russell put his hand to
| that work, and wiped out some of the anom-
allies Of representation. Boroughs which
were given member under that scheme have
meanwhile grown into pnpulous cities; new
towns have sprung up which are now wholly
unrepresented, and the suburbs of London
and other cities have themselves become
cities in point of population. On the other
hand, many old boroughs, more especially in
Ireland, have sunk into docrepitude and de-
cay, and are olonger worthy of representation.
The Radicals hope to annul, to some extent,
the large influence welded in mary conssitu-
encies by wealthy landowners in other
words, by the House of Lords. Grampound.
Old Sarum aud constituencies OF tina. ik
have passed away, but the power OF terrific.
rial plutoeracy is still in very msny places
unbroken. Thus North Allerton, Ia York
shire. is practically controlled by the Earl of
Hartford. The Earl of Egmont really keeps
the little Sussex borough of Midhurst in his
pocket. Earl Fitz William has controlling
Influence over Nation, in Yorkshire. The
Marquis of Aylesbury is a power at Marl-
borough. The Earl of Pow is supreme at
Ludlow, the Earl of Litchfeld at Litchfield,
the Earls of Seton and Derby in southwest
Lancashire, the Duke of Devonshire in the
counties of Cork and Waterford, and in rev.
rey, and so on. The Radicals, of course,
expect the opposition not only of the Lords,
but of the territorial party in the House of
Commons but if Gladstone brings in the
measure next session, his large majority will
drive it through the lower house, and the
upper chamber will think twice before reject
ing it. Reform in franchise and representa-
ton is always popular.
