I . \ a former article we explained and commented on the machinery for working the new amended Scotch Poor Law : we purpose now to offer some further remarks on a few of the most important clauses of tliat law . We have before stated that the parochial boards for the administering of the new law are to be constituted iu the first instance of the Kirk Session in
each parish ,-and no change can take place , except the said board shall resolve to raise the relief funds by assessment : in which case , the board is io thenceforth consist of a certain number of persons elected by the rate-payers , together with four persons appointed by the magistrates , and four more by the Kirk Session . " VVIiat we now wish to call attention to is , the clause ( 19 ) which provides for the mode of ejecting tJiosc members of the board to be appointed bv the rate-payers .
In that clause it is provided that in burglial parishes every person assessed for the support of the poor , shall be allowed to give one or more votes for the elected members of the board , according to the following scale : —The owners of lands and heritages * under the annual value of twenty pounds , one vote ; above twenty , but under forty pounds , two votes ; forty , but under sixty pounds , three votes ; sixty , but under one iiimilrcu pounds , four votes ; one hundred pounds , but under five hundred pounds , five votes ; and five hundred pounds and upwards , six votes . ' All persons assessed as 13 m occupant s oflands and heritages , or assessed on means natl substance , to have each the same number of vmj-s as an owner of lands and heri-

— ^ mm ^——^ > «»—» . _ J . V-1 »——»——^—tages assessed to the same amount for the support o ' the poor would have . . No person can vote who has not paid all rates and assessments due at the time Ol voting . Here is made plain as the sun at noon-day the grand principle of all our present legislation—the " conservation" of the power of the rich , and the continued subjugation of the poor . ' The " plurality of votes " for the wealthy is one of the most insulting schemes of despotism ever devised . A hypocritical pretence is made of allowing the
ratepayers a voice in the management of tlicil' Offll affairs : but the pretence is all . If government by representation—parochial as well as national—is to be really what it is pretended to be , —the reflex of the popular will and the elected of the majority , —it is essential that the represented should each have one vole , and no more : otherwise , the few with their " six votes each , '' may outvote titk maxv who have but " one vote each . " The undisguised rule of the rich—allowing the poor no voice , no vote—would be infinitely preferable to this jucglinff fraud .
Of course the tools of the rich will tell U 3 that the rich man , contributing more to the poor ' s fund than the poor man , has a right to have six votes to the poor man ' s one . This we deny . The shilling paid by the poor man is to him of far more importance fc ' ian the pound can be to the rich man . On pecuniary grounds the poor man sacrifices more than does the rich ; and therefore lias rights at least equally sacred . But we disdain to argue the question on pecuniary grounds . "Man is man ; and who is more ? " 'Tis on tliat ground we demand for the poor rate-payer equality of power with his richer fellow-creature .
The rich may think themselves luclsy that tllCV are not compelled , of themselves , to wholly support the impotent and destitute . If anything like justice guided the acts of our legislators , the rich would be made to do this , it is from " the superfluous wealtli ' of the rich that the destitute ought to be wholly provided for , without taxing the poor at all . Further , so long as social inequality is permitted to continue , to make that inequality at all bearable , the poor should be freed from all taxes , national or local : and the rich should be compelled to pay all , and contribute
too progressively , according to the extent of their incomes . Were this the case there would be fewer aristocrats , milloerats , bishops , and similar cattle dying worth their hundreds of thousands , and even millions of money : but there would also befnver who would die destitute : probably none who would die ill workhouses or by suicide : and although even then absolute justice would notreign , —for did justice reign there would be neither rich nor poor , —still there would be less of misery ; and society would not be the torturing hell the rich by their plunder and legislation make it at the present time .
To return to the new law . We should add that the qualification ( by the ownership or occupancy of lands or heritages ) of an elected member of the Parochial Board is to be fixed by the Board of Supervision ; to be fixed in no case " at a higher annual value than fifty pounds . " lVhen we consider the aristocratic constitution of the Board of Supervision , y ? c may be sure that the qualification will never be fixed much under fifty pounds . So that no poor man can be elected to the Parochial Board . Property , as ever , rules poverty .
Assessments" may be imposed as follows : — the Parochial Board may resolve that one-half of the assessment shall be imposed npon tho owners , and the other half upon the tenants or occupants of all lands and heritages ; or , that mie-half shall bo imposed upon the owners of all Jands and heritages , and tW other half upon the tvhole inhabitants according to their means and substance other than lands and heritages in Great Britain or Ireland ; or that the assessment shall be imposed as an equal per-centage upon the annual value of all lands and heritages within the parish , and upon the estimated annual income of the whole inhabitants from means and sub " stance , other than lands and heritages situated in Great Britain and Ireland . ( See clause 34 . )
Whichever mode of assessment is chosen , it musf . be submitted to the Board of Supervision for the approval of that board . No person is to be liable to be assessed in any parish or combination of parishes on his means and substance , unless the estimated annual value thereof in the whole shall exceed thirty 2 ) 0 imds . ( See clause -18 . ) The whole of the clause ? relating to assessments should be well considered . Where the inhabitants of any parish are already subjected to assessments for the support of the poor by authority of any local act or established usage , it is provided by the new law that the assessment may be continued to be levied in accordance with such local net or usage , if the Parochial Hoard so resolves , aud the Board of Supervision approves .
In parishes containing more than five thousand inhabitants , poor-houses may be erected , if approved of by the Board of Supervision . Parishes may unite together for that purpose . The rules and regulations for the government of poor-houses are to be framed by the Parochial Board , but must be approved of by the Board of Supervision . —( See clauses 60 , 01 , 02 , 03 , 04 , 05 , GG . ) By clause G 9 it is provided that the Parochial
Board shall provide medicines , medical attendance nutritious diet , cordials , and ciothing ' . for the poor , "in such manner and to such extent as may seem equitable and expedient : and it shall be lawful for the Parochial Board to make provision for the education of poor children who are themselves , or whose parents are objects of parochial relief . " It will be a principal duty of the inhabitants of each parish to see that this clause is fully and properly executed .
By clause 70 , destitute persons are to be relieved , although having no settlement in tho parish to which they apply ; such relief to be continued by the parish applied to , until such time as the applicant is removed to his own parish . To gain a settlement in any parish , a person must have resided five years continuously in the parish ; maintained himself during that time without having had recourse to common begging , and without having received or applied for parochial relief . Persons who , previous to the passing of this Act , have acquired a settlement by virtue " of a residence of three years , are not to be affected by the alteration made bv the new law .
Ill a former article wo commented on the alteration for the worse made in the old laws by tho new act relative to the right of the poor to appeal to the Court of Session , when refused relief , or when the relief allowed was inadequate to the wants of tllC applicant . Clauses 73 , 74 , and 75 treat of this portion of the law . The meaning of those clauses is briefly as follows : —A person making application for relief , if refused by the Parochial Board , may apply to tho Sheriff of the county ; and the Sheriff , if he is of opinion that the applicant is "legally" entitled to relief , may make an order for his relief on the
Inspector of the parish to which the applicant has applied . The Inspector must then furnish the Sheriff with a written statement , showing W » , the applicant was refused relief . This statement must be answered ; and the Sheriff may appoint an agent to appear and answer on behalf of the applicant . If necessary the Sheriff shall take further proceedings , —set forth in the act , —to prepare the matter for final adjudication . The Sheriff can command "interim relief" to be given to the applicant ; but cannot decide as to the amount of the relief . Where the relief granted is considered inadequate by the receiver , the aggrieved person
must lodge his complaint with the Board of Supervision . If that board considers the complaint wellgrounded , and if the grievance is not forthwith remedied by the parochial board , the Board of Supervision may furnish the aggrieved person with a certificate " authorising" him to bring his action against the parish , and entitling him to the benefit of the poor ' s roll in the Court of Session . Further , after such action has commenced , tho Board of Supervision may award to the poor person " such interim aliment as to the said board shall scon just during the dependency of such action ; " whi «) = award the paroshial board must obey . & > Muri o f law can eitlerlain any action unless the Board ( f

Supervision shall have prcviowly certified Ihat there it a just cause for the same . Clause G 8 enacts , "that from and after the passing of this Act , all assessments imposed and levied for the relief of the poor , shall extend and be applicable to the relief of occasional as well as permanent poor ; rnoviDED always , that kothlyg iierei . v cox-TAIXEB SHALL BE HELD TO COSFEB A RIGHT TO DEMAND RELIEF OX ABLE-BODIED PERSONS OUT OF employment :. " This legal abrogation of the natural and imprescriptible right of the poor to a subsistence w hen without employment , is as cool a piece of
rascality as even a " Scotch lawyer" could possibly pronose , or a Ghaiiam sanction ! It would have been amusing , if it had not been disgusting , to hear the shameless plunderers , such as Duxdas and Co ., vaunting " the superiority of the Scotch system of relieving the poor , " on the ground that denying all relief to the able-bodied , and giving to the aged and the impotent the smallest possible means of keeping body and soul together , was the sure mode of preserving "independence" amongst the working classes ! and perpetuating the charitable and hospitable spirit for which they were famed ! Sir James Graham
" did not think it prudent to say that the able-bodied poor should be entitled to relief . " Mr , Coi ^ VlIOUS , one of the psalm-singing ultra-religious gentiy , considered "that in Scotland nothing could be more unwise than to introduce a system of relief for ablebodied men . He feared it might increase vice . " Mr . Dundas , however , exceeded all the rest of the 'fuclosofical" party , by his bold avowal that " the smallness of relief given under the old Jaws corstituted the beauty of the system . The poor was not felt as a burden on anybody . " " The Scotch system was built on the supposition of one man relieving
another ; and it was the credit , and honour , and highest glory OF THE POOR that they did relieve one another . " Mighty fine this ! but would it not be much better , if , instead of the poor keeping the poor , the rich were made to do that work ? How disgusting is the hypocrisy of this Dundas , prating of the " spirit of independence" which sets the Scottish working-man above receiving relief . The more fool the Scottish working man , if he be such an ass . This fellow , Dundas , spouted too the praises ol "porridge . " He had never anything for breakfast but porridge , till he came to England . He never saw anything but porridge , till he came here . " If porridge is so good , and such an excellent
preserver of the " spirit of independence , why the devil did he ( as does all his countrymen ) leave his spoon behind him ? Why docs he not " sup his por . ridge" still ? Is it that he finds it sweeter to give up his poiridgc and his "independence , " and , as a party hack , exhibit his appetite for the "loaves and fishes" of expectant place ? One thing is certain , he no longer loves porridge and "independence " h ' msclf , though he admires it in his countrymen vilio cannot get to England : but if his countrymen arc not fools , tiiey too will try and get something better than porridge , and grow ashamed of that degrading "independence'' which leaves their poor to suffer vile and abject misery for the benefit of the plundering , hypocritical , heartless rich .
We assert that the right of tho able-bodied poor man , wanting employment , or if employment does not afford him adequate subsistence ; we assert that his right to relief is as sacred and undeniable as that of the helpless infant , the 5 bed-ridden , the aged , the mutilated , or otherwise impotent . What- difference is there in the actual present condition of a miner deprived of employment by a glut in the coal market , and the condition of his brother-miner , rendered unable to work by having suffered from an explosion of fire-damp ? In their future condition there may be a great difference ; because the one may never be
able to work again , whilst the other is able to work if employment offers : bat for the time being the one is as helpless as the other ; and the one's right to subsistence from the public fund is as good as the other's . So with the husbandman , the artisan , the mechanic , the factory-worker , the sailor , and al ' others of the classes dependent on labour and wages for their means of living . Unfavourable seasons ; commercial gluts ; monetary panics ; political misgoverument ; social convulsions or wars , may deprive in a week or a day , numbers of all , or nearly all , these several sections of the working class of the means of subsistence : and under such
circumstances to refuse them the relief which is theirs by right , is robbery . To deny the right of the ablcd-bodied but destitute poor to relief , is to place them without the pale of society . When men abandon the savage state for a state of society , they give up certain of their individual rights in exchange for the benefits of mutual protection . but if when protection is needed—rnoTECno . v against death—it is withheld by one class from another , there reverts to the class denied the needed
protection , all their natural rights : and they have a right in that case to protect themselves , as men in a state ot nature would ; that is , the poor man , lacking subsistence , has a natural right to seek it as tho " savage" would , wherever he can find it ; and knowing that it would be on the land , and in the houses of the rich , that he must " seek if he would find , " he would , in the assertion of such natural right , trample on the law of " mine and thine , " and have recourse to tho " Good ohl way , the simnla plan ,
I hat they should take who have tho power , And they should keep who can . " That ' s what the poor , denied relief , would be justified in doing ; and do it they would , if they had one tithe of the brigand spirit of the rich in their composition . The wonder is that they have not long before this tried their hands at it , when we consider what provocation they have had in the cruelty with which they have been treated , and tho damnable doctrines whjoli Imvc been preached to justify the- usurpations and robberies oi' the rich . As a specimen of the doctrines of the Scotch " feelosofers , " Dr . Ajjsox quotes two " illustrious" professors in the University of Edinburgh : —
One saying that he thought no greatev enrse coiM hcfall a country lhanlhc establishment of a legal provision for its poor ; and the other , that it' he could dispose of the charitable institutions in Scotland , lie would abolish them all , except hospitals and dispensaries , and leave the poor , unless when afflicted with disease , entirely to their own resources . I need ( says the ]) octor ) hardly say tliat n ( a > l >) ihe same doctrine has been zealously espoused lyow present illustrious professor of ' divinity . " Our present illustrious Professor of Divinity " is the notorious high-flying ' , non-intrusion Dr . Chalmers ; the none of the Free Kirk .
We presume it is on the "damnable doctrines " of these "illustrious" professors , and the "illustrious ilhistrissimo" Dr . Ciialmeus , tliat the heritors and Kirk Sessions justify their robbery of funds set apart by benevolent individuals for the support of the poor . Yes , these "aristoeratical , " " respectable , " and " God-fearing " rascals have actually embezzled monies which were the actual property of the poor . The fact is thus stated in the return " on the population and management of the poor in Scotland ; " —
In several parishes and towns benevolent individuals mortified certain sums of money from time to time ; and t ' rmn the increase of the subjects in which the money lias sometimes been invested , the value of the mortifications has increased very materially . They frequently supersede any assessments for the poor in the parishes to which tliey belong , although in some cases it is expressly declared by their founders , and in other cases seems to Ve implied , that the poor should receive the amount arising annually from such sources , in addition to , and exclusive of , what they would be legally entitled to .
Thus these trustees of funds left for charitable purposes frequently uso such funds , contrary to the express declaration of the donors , in discharging obligations attached to their own property : and thus those aids , which were intended to be " exclusive of what tiie poor were legally entitled to , " are fraudulently applied to " supersede an assessment . " This gross breach of trust is thus tenderly alluded to by the Commissioners of Inquiry : —¦ . Iu addition to the uione . v supplied by the CillllTU collodions fliul oilier sessional funds , there exists in many parishes a grcsit . r or less annual income arisin » from mortifications—that is , sums of money , or l .-md . ; hcii in mortmain or perpetuity b y benevolent huliviiuals . They then pro : ccd to State , that not Onlyistha interest of such" donafons or legacies" applied as

general funds for the relief of the poor , but ^ t ' encroachments are often made on the capital sums ty the heritors and Kirk Sections . " Now what is this but downright fraud and robbery ? The heritors and Kirk Sessions were bound , under the old laws , to provide " needful snstcntation" for tho poor and impotent , without regard to any moans of subsistence ivhich the poor might derive from other sources , such as these " mortifications ; " instead of which they make these " mortifications , " with perhaps the addition of the paltry collections at Kirk doors , supply tho entire means of supporting the poor , themselves contributing not a farthing for that purpose : and it has often happened that the heritors —that is the land-robbers—have refused any contribution for the relief of the poor , until the charitable funds intrusted to their administration were entirely
dissipated . Well , what does the Government do with these thieves ? Docs it instruct the Lord-Advocate to prosecute them for tho recovery of the embezzled sums ? Does it pursue them to the gaol or the hulks , where poor and petty plundered are always driven ? Nothing of the sort ! On the contrary , a law is passed to reinvest with power over the property and lives of the poor , tho very men who have been guilty of these malversations ! Men of Scotland , see in this another of the results of class legislation ; the robberies committed by the rich sanctified by law ; and the unhappy poor handed over to the tender mercies of these legalised brigands ,
While we are on tlio fubject of "damnable doc trines , " we will quote another sample of Scotch "feelosofy . " The extract given below we have from Wade's London Review , for November , 1 S 14 . It was qtlOted into that publication as from the Edinburgh Review , vol . 03 , p . 49 o . Head : — One of the Commissioners of Inquiry , declared upon this evidence that , if any trustee of a public charity , for the distribution of doles , instead of distributing the subs : ancc as intended , consumed it in good cheer for himself undfriends ; and that any trustee , of a charity iorfomuH ' myt , who , instead of applying the suustnnco to those purpose ? , kept a mistress with a . rcally produced less immorality by such a course of proceeding , as compared with a literal administration of the trust , andwas , j « 'O tanto , a lencfador to the public .

Wo know not : for the commentator in Wade ' s Review saith not : and the number of the Edinburgh Review , into which this atrocious doctrine was first quoted , we never saw . ljut though we don't h \ ow , we may guess ; and although wo may be wrong , wo believe the " Commissioners of Inquiry" were the Commisioners of Scottish Poor Law Inquiry . The names of those Commissioners , it will be remembered , were Lord
Melvilms , Lord Beluayejj , Mr . II ome Drummoxd , Mr . Campbell , of Craige , the Rev . Mr . Patrick Macfaiuane , of the West Kirk of Greonock , the Rev . Mr . James Roiiektsox , minister of Ellor ., and Edward Twisleto . v , Esq . This last-named person is an Englishman . ; and as he protested against the report of the Commission , and set his face against the hard-hearted doctrines of the rest of the Commissioners , we may reasonably suppose him guiltless of the above devilish declaration . If our surmisj is
eonvet , as to the particular Commission of Inquiry , it follows , therofoi'c , that some one of the abovenamed two Scotch lords , two Scotch heritors , and two Scotch ministers , was the author of the above execrable avowal .

. " to every eye The climax of ull scorn , should hang on high , Exalted o ' er his less abhoi'i- 'd compeers—And festering in the infamy of years . " We must not quit these expounders of " damnable doctrines" without commending to detestation that hungry Whig , late " Plais Joiix , " now Lord Campbell ; formerly persecutor of the Chartists , and now , by the grace of Whig jobbery , one of the " Hereditary Incurables" of St . Stephen ' s . Speaking on this bill he said , "He thought that the framers of the bill had done well in not giving way to the
clamours which had been excited to provide compulsory relief for all persons , whether able-bodied or not , who might be out of employment . It was a mistake to make a lavish provision for the poor , and also to encourage improvident marriages , It was wrong to proclaim that a young man and woman should marry and bring as many children into the world as their fecundity might afford , not having the means to maintain them . " This infernal doctrine is propounded by a Whig cs .-Chancellor , who , being " out
of employment , " an " able-bodied pauper , " ROBS the country in the shape of " comptdsory relief" oj £ 5 , 000 annually ! His beastly Malthusian trash is scarcely worth replying to at tills time of day . The people have learned that if " a young man and a young woman" have not the means of keeping their offspring , their lack of means arises from the fact of their having with the rest of the public to help to keep such cold-blooded , parchment-hearted vampires as this Lord Ca . \! mjeli and his class . Would to heaven
the masses were all of our mind ! They would make this " noble" fraud-monger eat his own rags and drink his own ink , rather than that he should , fo one day longer , live an aristocratic " naupcr » " plundering the people , and heaping upon them injustice and insult in return . The last clause of the new law we shall notice is theSOth , by which it is enacted that " any person who has been removed to England , Ireland , or the Isle of Man , and shall sifterwavds return to Scotland and apply for relief ; or become chargeable by himself or his family to the parish , shall be prosecuted
as a ' vagabond ; ' and shall , npon conviction , be punishable by imprisonment , with or without hard labour , for any period not exceeding two months . " The injustice of this infamous clause is plain enough . An Englishman orlrishman , — and there arc many of both nations in Scotland—cotton-spinners , ironworkers , curriers , miners , brickmakers , glass-workers , weavers , and labourers , —having employment in the country , through slackness of trade loses his work . Reduced to want lie is compelled to seek parish relief . The relief he cets is . the bam * t-a * taA out of tlu country , to find such relief as he can in
"his own parish . " Iu a short time , perhaps , trade improves ; and , believing lie can get work from his former employer , the poor fellow makes his way to Scotland again . Perhaps he does not succeed . The master has " no room" for another man ; and search is in Yftlli ftlsCwllCTC . Tho man is without home and in want of food ; maltreated and punished it found begging . He applies for relief to the Inspector of the poor : and the consequence is , his prosecution and punishment as a " vagabond ! " With such a law , would it not be well to send Mr . Duxdas packing back again to his own country , there to enjoy the sweets of " porridge" and " independence ?"
We remember that when Mr . Siiauman CnAWFoun denounced this clause , as one under which " a poor man might actually-be treated as a vagabond , and for no cause but a second time wanting relief , " Sir James Graham interrupted him by saying , " It is the law in England now . " The report goes on to represent Mr . Crawford as saying , " Then it ought to be repealed . ( , i laugh , ) It made it no better to say it was tho law in England or in any country . " When Mr . Crawford denounced this atrocious law the response was a laugh ! Ycs . vfhen the wrongs of the pooi aio descanted on , tho hyenas laugh . They may laugh the wrong side of their mouths yet !
The manner in which this law was forced through the legislature reflects lasting disgrace on its authors and supporters . Many petition ? were presented against it ; and not one for it . If members silently voted for it in obedience to their own selfish interrste , or the mandata of tho Miuisfa v , all the argument th : t was employed in tho several debates w ,-s wholly oil the sic of the 0 M 03 itH . il , ml exhibited solely by the opponent s oasure . Those ' who had tho

least regard for justice , or even decency , joined in tho appeal for postponement , to aiford an opportunity tor making the law really what it professed to bean amendment of pre-existing statutes . All was in vain . At the fag-end of the session , at morning sittings , with houses of scarcely move thawibvty mem - uors out of six hundred and fifty-eight , the bill was hurried through its last stages ; and after this fashion passed by tho Commons . In the Lords , public decency was still more grossly outraged . These titled inenbuses lumped together the entire ei » lity-el"ht clauses ' , fliul adopted them at once with
hardly even the mockery ot a discussion . Compare this with the time bestowed on party debates , or 011 such questions as the Maynooth endowment , or on Railway Bills , which in private committees mid public discussions have occupied so much of thetimo of the session last closed . This , however , is not to be wondered at . Mammon is fully represented , whilst labour has b « t few friends . Tlie baste , however , with which the Lords " registered" this measure may turn out to be a good . They were too hasty to act wisely ; and the blunder they thus committed will bo learned by the following : —
J 5 i . uNDEns of the LEGISLATURE . —There is . 1 cnrioiis clerical error iu the Scotch Poor Law Ainenilnirnt Ait passed last session . Tlie iirst meeting of tlie Hoard was fixed for Wednesday , the L'Otli ult ., " or ten dnvs thereafter , " but tlie month designated by tlie words of tlic i'ct is " August next . " Now , the measure only received tJm royal assent on the 4 tli of the }> rcse » t August , so tliat , Iiy the strict interpretation Of tlie JiHY , till ) board cannot act for a year . If this had liceii : i ciuiut way of sliiivin- iin oUjeetioiwUe measure , which its authors , after iiiidting so much of , would no doubt have been ashamed uj'tiil y to withdraw , wo should have had little to say regaining it . But we doubt if it is that . Wo are given to understand that tlie board is to act notwithstanding tho blunder , and apply next year for a bill of indemnity .
Whether they will act as is here intimated , in oppo » sition to law , or wait their " appointed time , " rcninins to be seen .
