He has rescaed them from the worst perils of their position by flinging the apple of foreign discord into the English councils on the very eve of a great domestic movement The English Parliamentary Reform of 1832 opened the way, which successive modifications have widened, for the mere property-holders of England into that paradise of political power which hid been previously reserved for the holders of privilege as weQ as of pntperty. Ever the gradual development of liberal ideal in the administration of England has been stimulating the masses of the intelligent population to seek for such in extension of the suffrage as should give them also a roica in the decisions of English policy, and i control over the official appointments of the empire.

The Tories, always protesting against the original concessions of Reform, have witched with a sort of malevolent delight, the growing discomfort of) the Whig aristocracy in the presence of this pertinacious and obstinate electoral passion of the clsiaea excluded by themselves from the operation of their i well-considered and deliberate changea. When the Tory under Lord Diebt, succeeded nearly a year' ago I the dynasty of Lord Pa LMiKSToir, it was -wall; understood that the demands of the educated classes in particular, fori a ifur-ther extension I oil the suffrage, could not be much longer resisted. The establishments of the English Church, the various and energetic developments of National Education, the gradual and natural increase of the i national wealth, bad brought forward, in the course of the last fiv years, a considerable force of men, as formidable by their cultivation as by their mere numbers, with whom it had become necessary to treat in order to secure the existing state of things from 'a violent external agitation. The Whigs were at a loss What to do with these men for the Whigs had always lived and thrived and had their be lag by the general preaching of general re. form in the representative system and it was ot easy to see how any Whig leader! could so mould a new Reform bill, as to include the classes really clamorous for recognition, without also including a much lower class, of men the educated operatives who were eady to accept, without 'being urgent to demand, the power of the franchise.

The Tory party, on the were in no way bound by the action of their antagonists in pait. They had always consistently opposed Parliamentary Reform on broad: general grounds until it had become what the French call "an accomplished fact" Consequently, they could undertake any future modification of past reforms without feeling themselves in any way compelled to revert to the first principles of reform They could isay with perfect good faith, that aince the suffrage had been already opened they were prepared to extend its opportunities wherever they thought best, and to consult the liberty of the English subject in consulting the stability of the English Constitution. This difficult and delicate task has been confided to Mr. Disxaili, and has been executed by him with consummate tact, in the midst and 'under cover of the foreign excitements consequent upon the attitude of France tnd AuatrisJ While all England is absorbed in anticipations of Continental disturbances, which miy possibly inirolvelthe urest allies and the nearest friends of GreatBri-tain, Mr. Diskaxxi, aa the Chancellor of the Exchequer, brings forward his bin for modifying the present representation of the English people in Parliament TtiiM Dili, In effect, denies the need of any thorough revision of tie bases on which! the I'ailiamenlary power of England rests.

lybvsiTesaaaieBFendar. 'l I I bw-: Refbrnt xneascra of "the ZngBih Government aeents likely not only to trengthen the present Admlnistratioa in their tenure of power, but also to contribute seriously to the stability of English laatitu-tions. The aeeessioa from the Cabinet, upon this bill, of men like Mr. Waltolx, who represents the spiritual bigotry, and Mr. IIkxlit, who represents the material stolidity of the Conservative ranks, ought rather to strengthen the cause ofthe Derby Ministry with the country than to weaken it with their own party.

We cannot therefore regard the recent movements in England aa indicative of anything but the substantial content of the English people with their political system, and the practical sagacity of the men to whom the management of English affairs has, for the time being, been entrusted. Tke Qaaraatlae Qaestion. The great problem of the age seems to be, to establish a Quarantine without having it located anywhere. The project is attended with some little difficulty and puzzles our legislative Solon at Albany almost as much as the kia-dred scheme of finishing the Canals without any money. Dr.

Tcthill's bill embodies the general sentiment on this subject better than any other. He desires a vigorous and effective Quarantine but it must not be located on Staten Island, nor Coney Island, nor Barren Island, nor Long Island, nor within i mile of the shore of either of them. It must either be in the air or on the sea and, as a practical man. Dr. Tutu ill prefers the latter.

There is too much child's play about the management of this affair. If we. need a Quarantine it must have a location, and private rights and private convenience must be made to yield to that public necessity. It is absurd to permit the wishea or the interests of a handful of individuals to override the safety and the welfare of the public at large. As a matter of coarse nobody wants a Quarantine establishment at the door of his house, or alongside of his orchard or garden.

To a greater or less extent it must be a nuisance. But the same objections hold to building a prison, a hospital or a school-house. Somebody must be put to inconvenience by them. And if the State is quietly to stand one side and allow itself to be overborne by the individuals whom its action may aggrieve, it can never have any public establishments of any kind. All this has been foreseen and provided for in the Constitution.

The State is expressly authorized to take whatever private property it needs for its own use, upon making the owners proper compensation therefor. Such a power ia absolutely necessary, if the welfare of the people at large is of more consequence than the interest of individuals. This principle covers the whole question of Quarantine. If it is clear and decided that we need sTQuar-ut'ine to protect this City, and the State and country at large, from the effects of imported pestilence, then it is the right and the duty of the State to select a location for it snd establish and maintain it there and that' selection should be made so as best to secure the public welfare, with the least possible encroachment upon private interests and private rights. The upper end of Staten Island is not a proper place for Quarantine.

There are strong, valid and irresistible arguments in favor of removing it from that locality. The land is too valuable for such uses the population is too dense the communication with this City is too frequent and the establishment interferes too much with the comfort and convenience of great numbers of the peopU. These are aU good reasons for desiring, seeking and insisting upon its removal, though they are no reasons at all for burning down the buildings and tuning the hospital Inmates into the open air. They are good reasons also why the Legislature should authorize and accomplish the re-moral of Quarantine, and select for it some other locality where the inconveniences will be less serious for it is quite absurd to expect to get any plade where ita establishment will lavolve no inconvenience at aU, and the attempt to fulfill so impossible a condition Will only end in lcavisg the Quarantine just where it is. We have very little doubt that Coney Island is, next to Sandy Hook, the best spot in the harbor for Quarantine.

It is a sandy, barren, uninhabited island, two or three miles from any considerable settlement, accessible to vessels, and available ia all respects for the uses of such an establishment should it not be appropriated to this purpose The only reason we have ever heard assigned is, that the people of GravesenJ, a little village in the vicinity, are opposed to it, and that the irhabitsnts of Long Island, generally, have an abstract and romantic dislike of having such an institutioii'on their frontier. Their feeling is precisely the same as that of the people of New-Jersey, in regard to Sandy Hook, and not one whit more reasonable. The Legislature cannot do better than to appoint a commission of able, disinterested, competent men from the interior or western part of the State, whose characters will command universal confidence, and clothe them with power to select, appropriate and purchase a site for the Quarantine, and to remove that establishment from its present location without deity. As things are now managed, the thing never win be accomplished, and will only be made a foot-bail for lobby agents and wrangling politicians. Something should be done, and the only way to effect that result is to clothe tomebojy with power to do it The project of building an island on the skoals, for the purpose of a quarantine, we consider moonshine.

Any attempt to fix the limit and cost of such an undertaking would be utterly hopeless. The State might expand half a million of dollars, and then find herself eompeUed te spend two millions more to render this available. The jobbery of such a work would be enormous, ruinous and disgrieeful. There is plenty of laid already created, admirably adapted to tha purposes of Quarantine, and nearly usaless for any others. AH that is necessary is decision, independence aid pubJie spirit enough on the part of our State authorities to take it and appropriate it to this use.

Vmoxaxci os the Stkxxt Difficult as It may be to imagine the audacity required, it is nevertheless true that the friends of corrroption at Albany are new busi-ry at work on a schema having Jar ita object TV A-4I1 me total aest ruction and disintegration of the only Department of our City Government which has exhibited activity in the maintenance and enforcement of public honesty amongst the parties having dealings with the City BiH after bq has been introduced with the object of stripping the Street Department, as at present conatltnted, of its subordinate Bweanxi and it is hoped to gain the votes of the Republicans, for this highhanded outrage, by offering to transfer the Bureaux named to the Department of Finance, toder Mr," Now, while aot wishing to east the least poaal- fcla reflection oa, our present Comptroller'i lateg-rftT. wo do tai must protest against measure which, emrrie out, wold place tha coTJeo-Uon iid disbursement of all public City moneys the "ork, expenditures, auditing and payments tinker one single head. It is a frightful Innovation onj all former systems of public finance; and must leave the City, if adopted, utterly at the mercy of one man's Intelligence and When the name Department collects and disburses, it can never be very difficult to produce a balance at the end of the year and If the man who orders work to be done and employs the men who are to do it, bej likewise the one who is to draw requisitions on himself for their payment, ind his then to jpsy them on his own requisition, there can be little! likelihood in future of any disagreement aa to price. We call upon the Republican Senators to refuse and repudiate this glittering bait now dropped before i their noses by the worst and most corrupt portions of both parties. Odious as is special legislation; at all times, when directed for personal purposes, it will become intolerable if secretly directed by corruptionlsts sgainst i department which has already done so much to prove that i it is possible for City officers to be honest, industrious and actuated by the purest motivesi The Street Department, as at present organized by the joint exertions of Edward Coopeb, 0.

W. Smith and Mansfield Lovkll, performs all its functions ith regularity and integrity it must not be sacrificed at the bidding of contractors, claimants and referees. The Female Suffrage Question. The amendment to the Constitution of this State which Mr, Loxgeshklt wishes to have submitted to tha people at the next election, conferring tjie right of suffrage on women, has at least the of serious inexpediency to contend with. Even suppose we admit, to its fullest extent, the abstract right of females to assist in the election; of the Legislatures very small amount of regard for the safety of the State is sufficient to induce us to hesitate about admitting them at once to the exercise of it One of the maxims by which equity assails law is not altogether inapplicable to the: demand of women for the suffrage.

Hutnmum jus, summa injuria, may sometimes be true in politics, as well as in chancery. The claims of a minor to property1' bequeathed him by his father are indisputable in any forum in the world but for his interest, as well as for that of society, we refuse to hand it over to him until he comes of age. lie may be a very! excellent and steady person, a young gentleman of great prudence and most brilliant promise, but in consideration of his inexperience, and of the tempters and temptations with which this wicked world abounds, we take the liberty of retaining his purse in our hands for a certain limited period during which his faculties are ripening. We do so, not by way of casting any imputation on him personally, or from any doubt of his abstract right to his rents and profits for abstract right recognizes neither age, nor sex, nor color but because we know that there is a certain sort of judgment, which is hardly: ever acquired without a car-tain amount of experience. We know that no one is likely to attach the requisite amount of importance to particular facts, and no more, place the needful amount of faith in certain persons, and no more, Until he reaches a certain age, so for the young man's sake, and the sake of all his friends; and connections, we commit upon him the outrage of not letting him de what he likes with his own, and worse still, of not letting him vote at elections, though his property pays taxes just as well as that of adults.

Now, women we mean women en matte with all respect be it said, are just at present, in the matter of politics, even in the largest and beat sense of the word, very much in the position of minors with regard to the management and disposition of property. Of their capabilities after proper training, and of their final political destiny, we say nothing. We simply assert that women, at they are, are not fit to vote. Even if facts be generally disagreeable, disgusting things, which it is desirable to exclude from polite circles, it is at least a duty, and it seems to us a stern and imperative one, to look them in the face, when it is proposed to double tho number of voters in the State, byj conferring the suffrage on an entirely new and untried class of the population; Therefore, we must firmly but respectfully request Mr. Lonqkshklt and all our gentlemen readers, to think over, patiently and impartially, the amount of political knowledge, political judgment, possessed by the large and highly-respectable circle of their own lady friends.

We do not, as a stump orator would be! apt to jlo, request them to cast their eyes) upon aU the females in the Union, but simply to confine their observations to those of them whom they know best and admire most pow many of them ever devote ten minutes to the consideration of a political question How many of them possess the means of estimating the effect of any measure upon either liberty or property How many of them ar competent to maintain their own views for five minutes against the arguments of husband, lover or brother? How rr.any of them, in short, have any sufficient interest in public affairs to reader it possible for them to study them with profit 1 We know and our; readers; all know what the answer must be. Not one in one thousand. We shall probably be told that this is due to the fact that they have no political rights, and that if they i were only once conferred on them, they would soon learn how to exercise them. We answer that the workingmen ia England have no votes, and can take no part in politics, and yet their Interest in politics is strong and deep, and their political opinions sound, and If not always accurate, at least carefully aid laboriously formed. The Italians have no political rights, and yet the Italians have a political faith and political opinions, and can die for the one and defend the other.

We could multiply similar examples ad infinitum. We therefore sincerely recommend Mr. Lov- exxHKLTio lay nis scheme ror the present, and devote himself to the work of devising such aa one as win give wornen at least the rudiments I of political training. That such a training is seeded, la order to enable my body ef persons to take part ia the administration of a free Government, it Is scarcely, at tbji tune jof 4h day, and In presence of aUj our own experience, hardly necessary to argue. If history and, above all, extemporary history Reaches anything, it teaches ns that written constitutions and bills of right are not alone sufljeient to secure public liberty and happiness, Many nations have had these framed tor theijr use, but only very tew have shown tho tempered xeaL tie ripened knowledge, the regulated Impulses, tha nature aelf-ontroL tha Kabil ef Government, in abort, 'which are neceasary to keep them ia operatioiil Of women's ultimata) es pahCities say nothing of her tight to 1 vote wtten she la si least fitted te vote, wsatf Buiig vast superiority -of Urge smas- bers o.

enen la all that constitutes good citizens to nsjoriry of our 44 adult males," we fully' aeinowledge but we havs to legislate for the wkcw class, and cannot take note of exception ad moreover, we have to remember, as hai" already re marked, that in the work of Government, in the administration of justice, nmtmun jut may often be gumma injuria. i i Apropos de Boats. The Cleveland Democrat, after the of Mr. Toodles, knows a man. And the man whom the Cleveland Democrat knows is a distinguished statesman." And the distinguished statesman, whom the aforesaid Democrat vouches for as 44 once a Senator of the United States, and a great favorite of 4 Old has stated (of course to the Editor of the Democrat) that General Jacksok, then engaged in invading Florida, and having, under various pretences, collected a large number of boats, provisions and munitions of war," wrote a letter.

And the letter which; General Jacesox wrote was addressed to President Monroi, who was therein Informed that the writer 44 had procured a correct map of the Island of Cuba, and with it a plan jof every fortress," that he 41 had collected the troops and munitions in order that' the cost might not deter the President from acceding," and that 44 if the President would sanction the proceeding in a confidential letter, he (General Jacksos) would pledge himself that, within ten days after its reception, the American flag would float over every fortress, and the whole Islaad would be in possession ofthe troops of the United States." In view of the approaching State Elections in Pennsylvania, we presume that the Philadelphia Fenntylvanian, in republishing the bit of blundering rhodomontade briefly referred to above, wss actuated by a desire to sustain in the rural districts of that enlightened State, the ruling idea that General Jacksos Is again, as always, a candidate for one of the offices on the Democratic ticket. In doing this, however, the amusing print in qvteMon has done more, by appending a Demonic moral, to the effect that the United States onght to have Cuba, and, indeed, would have had that Island long ago, but for the 44 mongrel opposition. We confess that we do not see the pertinency of what the Cleveland Democrat says that the distinguished statesman says that General Jackboh said even supposing the last-named individual did say it, to the acquisition of Cuba now. Let us go even further, and concede that the United States could take Cuba in ten days, does that mean to say that the Administration party thinks that we ought to take it Or, is it any reason why we should seize the Colony? If it be, what might not be said of Jamaica, which could be taken in five days or Hay ti, which might be acquired in three days 7 or Barbadoea, which might be grabbed in half a day With due deference to the Senator and statesman, however, who quotes General Jacksos so glibly, we cannot altogether believe, in the face of the historical facts which attribute rather a short allowance of funds to the invading army of Florida, that the General could have collected what the un-grammatical, if distinguished "Statesman" calls 44 a large number of munitions of war," or a great number of boats and a vast amount of provisions, for any purpose foreign to the matter directly in hand. Neither can we suppose that General Jacesox ever permitted himself to indulge in any such absurd boast as that which is now, for the first time, attributed to him.

Nor, indeed, if we must speak plainly, do we quite believe that the friend of the Editorial Toodles 44 not that man, but the other man," was any particular 44 favorite of 4 Old Hkkcry'" after alL We suppose, however, that this question of the 44 boats has to be thoroughly ventilated by the Press throughout the whole country, before we shall hear the end of it It came out a couple of weeks ago that Jirrxasox intended to take Cuba with "boats.1' After passing through several hundreds 0f rural prints, the 44 boats and their application to the conquest of the island hare at length bees 44 fathered upon Jacksos. They will, doubtless, in due time, come further down to Phkck, and, by the time they are brought, speaking figuratively, to the door of Mr. Bu-chak am, the question will we trust, be permitted to die on the threshold of that worthy man's worldly habitation. Dr. Dor of Kansas, 44 Doctor" Jouji Dor and his son have not been taken from jail by an infuriated Missouri mob and hung, as wis recently reported.

On the contrary, they are to have a trial at St Joseph, a town large enough to contain some law-abiding people. The probabilities are, therefore, that they will be acquitted 'and set at liberty. A change of venue has removed their trial from the scene or their Imprisonment i The kidnapping of Dot and his son is a marked illustration of border morals. Thev were seized in Kansas by a Pro-8Iavery mob from Missouri, and forcibly carried to a jail In that State. The pretext for such unlawful violence was the fact that they were engaged in removing, to a place of greater safety, some negroes supposed to be in danger of seizure by their Missouri masters.

While thus engaged, the Dors were met on the highway, within the limits of Kansas, by an armed horde jof Mis-, sourians, and carried into captivity, Johh Dot, the father, who signs I himself 44 Doctor," emigrated te Kansas four; or five years ago, from Rochester, in this 8tate. He is an Englishman, an Abolitionist, aj water, cure practitioner, and a man of considerable intelligence. In Rochester his business was at first keeping a servants' Intelligence office, after which he was employed as an agent of a society for reforming traant children. His character and reputation were fair, It was after he went to Kansas that the title of 44 Doctor" began to figure conspicuously in connection with his isms. 8ooa after his arrival In that new Territory he had a difficulty with a neighbor about a 44 claim," and to settle the matter shot a bullet through his, leg.

The wound was not mortal, and such acts were too common there to attract much attention. Sines that time h's name has not been! prominently In tho papers till the anwarrantable capture of his son and himself In February, an event which makes him, for tho time being, the most conspicuous martyr of freedocs on the frontier. He is a man whose Anti-Slavery real would lead bint into difficulty, almost Ln-evitabry, If any occasion offered. But this Is jusUcatim nor excuse for the outrages committed upon I him and his hoy.1' Ti tba people of Western Missouri are either just or wise they will tee to It that the trlil at 8t Joseph shall result in the of tha Dors, and also thai they be made good for their loss of time and property. the Lor der-Bufflaa cajtrages never to cease Tarn Cvia cVrnrs Hmstof Baew, BV seem to be backed by; Uas Adistoiatrati.1 la hbaTrtu speech at Tammany Hatt.
