• The Political Reform League . —This society , under the presidency of General Thompson , M . P ., has issued an address , which , says : — "If the right to the franchise be dependent on being a householder , then clearly all householders should have votes , and . 1113 ' limitatiou must be arbitrary , -whether it be ten pounds or five pounds ; and to the ' extent'to .-which householders are excluded is the limitation unjust . But the idea of household suffrage is founded on fallacy . It supposes that householders are the sole representatives of the opinions of the governed , and that they alone have either natural or acquired interests in the control of the Government of the country . Neither of these positions can be maintained successfully . In our large towns , the majority of the adult population are lodgers , and , consequently , unknown to the local rate collector ; and , if the question of an extension of the suffrage had reference to the appointment of councillors to manage the affairs of each corporation , we could understand why householders should have votes , but the electoral franchise for the -whole kingdom cannot in justice be thus restricted . Our system , of taxation is so ordered , that it petmeates through every grade of society , and lays its iron , grasp on nearly every shilling expended . However poor a . man may be , he must pay taxes . The necessaries and the luxuries of life alike furnish streams of wealth to Government ; and if , instead of applying the corporation franchise— -where ' the case is so dissimilar—we applied the principle of that franchise , then representation would be co-extensive with taxation , and . we should have manhood suffrage . Let us _ have manhood suffrage , and Parliament will become a fair reflex of the national mind , class legislation will cease , and every legitimate influence will be strengthened . The other points in the programme will work harmoniously with the principle of manhood suffrage . The ballot will enable the working- man to protect his vote . The abolition of the property qualification for members of Parliament will leave constituencies free to elect whoever may best represent them . The rearrangement of electoral districts will give to wealth and population their fair share of influence in the Legislature , and triennial Parliaments will tend to keep up a good understanding between electors and their representatives . " ¦ A Pestilent Well .. —During last autumn , seven cases of fever ( one , a child , being fatal ) having occurred in the police-station , Cambenvell , and diarrhoea also being common among the men for the first time , and cholera having been severe during both epidemics , the 3 Iedical Officer of Health caused a careful inspection of the drains to be made . Notwithstanding , the report as to the drainage being perfect , a rigorous scrutiny discovered that ( he drain was not connected with the sewer , but discharged itself into an old well four or five feet wide , of unUnown depth . " The mouth of the well opened within the building , beneath the flooring . Ten feet of abominably foetid soil -were removed , and the remainder , which had become hard with age , was covered with liine . The well was then filled , and all necessary works were carried out . It is scarcely necessary to add that all bad smells have since ceased , and there can be no doubt that the cause of fever has been removed . "— IVcehly lleturn of the General Board of Health . . . . This Koyal AGracuivruBAL Sociktv of Encji-anu . The general meeting of the members of this society was held last Saturday at their house , Hanover-square . Lord Berners , the President , was in the chair , and the Duke of Marlborough was elected President for the ensuing year . Several other oilicers having been appointed or re-elected , the report was adopted , the financial statement read , and the meeting separated . Funeral ofiiik Duchess of Oulkanh . —The remains of the late Duchess of Orleans were interred last Saturday at the Roman . Catholic chapel erected by Miss Taylor a short distance from the railway station at Weybridge , Surrey , where the bodies of Louis Phillipe and the Duchess do Nemours were deposited . Many French statesmen and military men left France expressly to attend the funeral . The body had lain in state at the house at Richmond where tho Duchcjs expired ; and on Saturday the church-bells of Richmond and of the villages through which the funeral passed , tolled in honour of the deceased lady . The roads , also , were crowded . His Royal Highness the Prince Consort , attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Ponaonby , arrived at Way bridge from Odbornc some time before tho funeral procession had reached tho villugu from lticlunoud , in order to bo present at tlio ceremony . Ilia Serene Highnoes Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar also <; nme from town to attend tho obsequies of his relative , All tho members of the French deposed Uoyal family resident in this country were present on ( ho occasion— namely , the ex-Queen A . mdlic , widow of Louis Phillippo ; tho Count de Paris and tho Duke de Chartrca , only aona of tho Duchess of Orleans ; tho Duke do Nemoura , the Prince
and Princess de Joinville , and the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale , with the youthful members of their respective families . The cavalcade reached Weybvidge at one o ' clock , and the ceremony was concluded by two o ' clock . [ In noticing the death of the Duchess last week , we were mistaken in asserting that she changed her religion for Roman Catholicism on marrying the Duke of Orleans . She always remained a . Lutheran , and . the service of the Lutheran church was read over her remains . ]] Mr . Hrnkv Watt . — -The public will be glad to hear that Mr . Henry Watt , well known as the chief engineer of the Cagliari , is , though far from being quite well , improving in health and spirits . He is at present residing at the sea-side . Tkueorai'Iiic Communication with India . — General Chesney writes to the Times to advocate " the establishment of a , double line of communication with India . " He thinks that " the East India Company should lay down a cable from Kurrachee to Ras El Had , for the common use thus far of the double lines by way of the Red Sea and Turkish Arabia , leaving the task of laying them down to the rival companies- Captain Pullen ' s examination has confirmed the statement which Lliave made , that neither the depth of the water nor the coral rocks would cause any particular difficulty in laying down cables , which should , I presume , pass along the Southern Coast of Arabia and again between headland and headland to Suez . As concerns the other line , a cable could be laid along the Persian Gulf to the estuary of the Euphrates , and thence either by land or in the bed of the Tigris to Bagdad ; and again from the latter city to Constantinople . The greatest part of this distance is as safe as if it were in England . Between Bagdad . and Diarbekir it may be otherwise ; but the strong hand of Omar Pacha and the favourable disposition of the Sheikh of the Shainiriar tribe cause me to feel much more confident regarding the security of the wires than I felt atone time . Indeed , the Sheikh of tlie Shammars sent me a message to Constantinople , oxpressing his readiness to give me some 5000 workmen and other assistance as soon as I reached his territory . " . Mr . W . P . Andrew , Chairman of the European and Indian Telegraph Company , also pronounces in favour of a double line .
