rilO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED X BOROUGH OF MERTilYli TYDVIL, ABERDARE, VAYNOit, AND MOUN- TAIN ASH. GENTLEMEN,— Her Majesty having b en advised to dissolve Pat&ament, yon will have, on an early day, to exercise the great constitutional right of electing your reprebentatives in the House of Commons. Until you conferred upon me, five years ago, the high honour of being one of your represent- ativee, my best energies had been devoted to the development of the great mining and manufac- turing interestp, of the district. Since then my conduct as a public man has been undt-r your watchful observation, and I venture to hope that while at all times regarding the imperial interests of our common country, I have faithfully fulfilled illY local obligations and pledges to you. I have been a supporter of Liberal principles, yet I have always wished to act as the represent- ative of the entire body of the constituency. A mere party man would not be a fit exponent or an adequate representative of the various classes of which the intelligent oonstituer.cy of this Borough consists. We have capitalists engaged in mining and manufacturing operations, in which vast amounts are invested. We have thousands of working men whose labours utilise and produce fruits from these investments, and we have ener- getic middle classes whose industry ministers to the prosperity of the district. Our Borough holds so idlers. We are aH in our varying occupations working men and we are all interested in the success of the great works which surround us. The programme of the Liberal party has just been enunciated by Mr. Gladstone. Ihere is yet a great field for aotion. The labours of the past 40 years are now yielding their promised results. Free trade, with an ample supply of food from all the countries of the worl3, has been attended by an increase in the value of agricultural land and other real property. Reduced taxes have been accompanied by a more efficient condition of the Army aud Navy. Increased wages as the result of on tnorraous extension of our manu- factures and trade. An improved and less costly system of law, healthier dwellings, better educa- tiop, an extension of the elective franchise,"pro ( tected voting, and the fullest liberty of thought aad action. These are the proud trophies from -tb** past labours of the Liberal party. As an employer of many thousands of working men, I feel that the success of my own commer- cial operations is intimately blended with their comfort and well-doing. Capital and labour form but a special partnership, the benefits from which should be shared in fair proportions. My past public action is my guarantee te you for my future conduct. It is n it practicable within the eompass of an address to advert to the many subjects which at the present moment oc- cupy the attention of the country. I shall have abundant opportunities before the day of election to give the fullest explanation of my views on them questions. You will recollect my earnest advocacy of the Ballot, and the resolute support I gave for its establishment. Every elector is now tree to give a conscientious vote without fear of consequcnc's. I have a confidence that the absolute secrecy under which each voter will now be able to ex- eicise his franchise will not operate to my dis- advantage. before I close I have to offer you one further pledge. While supporting Liberal measures as conducive to the bonout and greatness of our country, I am too deeply interested in the safety of our institutions to become a party t > any perilous change or to any measure subversive ot our venerated constitution. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, Your bumble servant, RICHARD FOTHERGILL. Abernant House, Jan. 24, 1874.
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY…
TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN GENTT.EMEN,— Her Mtijesty having been advised to dissolve Parlisment, there will very shortly be a Geuerai lilection of Members to serve in'he new House ct Commons. In respectfully soliciting a renewal of the con- fidence 'which you havo reposed in me as one of your representatives, for a period of time extend- ing over forty-four yearn, I feel that it is not r. quired that I should make new professions. Most of the gtt-at questions which to long di- vided public opinion in thi* country have been set at rest, an<J the New Parliament will have to disenss a^d decide upon subjects which, although of the grel4tebt importance to the welfare of the coirimuuityV have happily not yet assumed a party chAractir. Such, for instance, ar; the 'Laws affecting Employers and Employed; the Licensing Laws the Laws of Rating and Local Government; the Laws relating to the Descent and Tenure of Land. If I have the honour to bo re-e'ected as Member for the County of Glamorgan, 1 shall enter the House of Commons with an earnest dosire to aiiord all the assistance in my power to the Govern- ment in their endeavours to deal with these, and with the other important measures alluded to in t)ie address published by the Prime Minister to ih« Electors of Greenwich. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your fainhful humble servant, C. R. MANSEL TILBOr. JJnrgam Park, January 26th, 1874.

G Abou' six yean ago, when no thought of enter- ing P H'da-Bent was pw -nt to my own m-ud..you did nl" the great honour if seeking me out in ruy privacy, ami IIIP ti) b eonv R caudidate for the rcpre-'er.iati'in of your Borough. When I accepted th'> invitation, y«u rec* ived me with a generous o nfideuee, find retunnd nw with a tri- umphant • •nthu-'ias'n which 3ins left un my heart an i 'di-hlili" impression of gratitude. iziy public C, itro. hiR been before you. You have had ample opportunities of judg- ing how I have discharged th,' great trust you then coinmiUed to my care. Iii selectii- tne as the object of your couiid- i ce, you did so with the avowed hope of having at hast one member of the l'ou^e of who would be willing to lift up b I, voice to vindicate the character, and adyt c.;tc thf interests to Wales, and especially to do some justice of Welsh Nonconformity, which had been too long misunderstood and misrepre- sented. Whether I have in any degree fulfilled your expectations in that respect, it is for vou to judge. It is unnecessary for me to enter upon any lengthened exposition of my political principles. They arc- the same as Wll(-Il:you elected me in 18o8, and the strop, I believe, as thos8 held by an ovei wnehmng majority of the constituency and people of this Borough. I a II now, as then, in favour of absolute re- iigious equality, which can only be attained by the total abolition ot all forms of favouritism, or exclusive privilege conferred by the State upon th • nlom b rs of any oue sect above the rest of their fellow-subjec.s. 1 contend for the establishment of a really national, and therefore a porfectly un- s ctiiriin system of education. I shnll support, as I have .alw.iys supported such reform in the laws that affect the relations of capital mid labour, as shall relieve the working cla-tses from much graVe hardship and injustice, wh'ch th- y nowiendujrfe, and place them, without any invidious and dtf-'nsive distinctions, on an ontire equality beftrfc the law with all other class- es of the comruutirty. I will gladly give my vote in favour of the promised exlention of the county franchise, with the full conviction that the intelligent and re- ligious peasantry of Wales are well qualified to make a good use of the boon. I rejoice in the prospect of the total repeal of the Ineome Tax, which is an unequal, an irritat- ing, and an immoral tax. But we have a right to expect other relief also from the heavy pressure of our present taxation, by a large reduction of expenditure, especially in the naval and military establishments. As regards our foreign relations, I cont nd for a policy of pegoi and non-intervention, and shall earnestly strive hereafter, as I have done hereto- f"re, to promote the establishment of a general and permanent system of international arbitration, so that the disputes which aiise between states may be settled, as happily they have often been settled of late, by an appeal to reason and justice instead of the blind and brutal arbitrament of the sword. There are many other points of interest on which I should like to enlarge. But. happily, meetings have already been arranged in vaiious parts of the borough, when I shall have full opportunity of laying my views bAllre the constituency. Firmly beli..villg that those views are sub- stantially in harmony with your own, and believ- ing, moreover, from the cordial and unanimous testimonies of your approval of my Parliamentary career, which I have always received during my annual visits to the borough, that I have in no respect forfeited your coufidence, I venture onco more to solicit your suffrages and place my services at your disposal. I am, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, HENRY RICHARD.

THE ELECTION.
THE ELECTION. Suddenly, though not altogether unexpect- edly, the nation finds itself embroiled in the turmoils and'Jexcitement of a general election Mr Gladstone.in his usual peremptory manner, having dissolved Parliament. Almost before the first surprise has passed away, the electors of the Borough of Merthyr, Aberdaro, and Vaynor are roused to action by the announce- ment of another. They are told that their choice of representatives in the next Parliament must be definitely made in less than a week. On Tuesday next the poll, if a poll should be nocossar will have to be made. A great in- convenience if not a misfortune to tho Borough this would be if representatives had to be selected from untried men, whose principles and probable course of action when elected had to be as farj.as possible ascertained in other words, if the great majority of the electors of this Borough had not already made up their minds. In this respect, however, they are willing to remain as they wore. Nor do wo see that they can do batter. In reviewing the career of their representatives in the late Par- liamont there seems to be nothing to be ob- jected to. This is evident from the circum- stanoe that the invitations to ask questions after the addresses of the members have met with no response. The plodgos given before the last election have been faithfully kept lby Mr Fothorgill and Mr Richard. No more satis- factory pledge can be required or given that these gentlemen will equally well represent the feelings and principles of the electors of the Borough in a future Parliament if returned to the places they havo filled for fivo yoars. It will be wise then to lot well alone. No course can be shown why any attempt should be made to change our representatives. In the whole United Kingdom there is not a constituency better represented; that has members more in harmony with the views of those who elect them. Mr Fothergill represents especially the commercial iuteiests as well as any member can, and perhaps better than any other. Mr Richard, on the other hand, represents with equal satisfaction the general ideas of the con- stituency on social, educational, and kindred subjects. Both Mr Richard and Mr Fothergill command the attention of the House of Com- mons when they attempt to address it, because both have good sense enough to speak upon subjects only which they understaud and with which they are thoroughly conversant. In the House of Commons our late members have been neither silent dummies nor perpetual talkers. They have chosen rather to be in- sructeel in many things by members more con- versant with the subjects under debate; to draw their own conclusions and vote accord- ingly while at other times they have under- taken to enlighten their follow-members of the House of Commons upon topics, coming more directly within their own sphere of knowledge and observation. They have also consulted and advised each other upon questions coming within the habits of thought of ono more than the other on either side. The result has b 'en harmonious working together, and general satisfaction to their constituents. What more can be required ? Holding these views wo cannot but regret that another candidate for tllO honour of representing this Borough should have presented htmseli. With all re- spect for Mr Hulliday audhi-s friends we must say that he cannot represent the feelings, de- sires,and interosta of tho electors of AlOt th) r u.n Abcrda.e. lie doos not understand them. lie may represent a small class, but class legisla- tion ho and his friends declaim against. Yet class legislation is what they demand. There is no interest in this Borough or similar consti- tuency which Mr llalliday can represent, but what has been represented, and can be better represented by the late, and we trust future, members. It is to be hoped that Mr Hallulay and his friends will see the advisability of his retiring from this undesirable contest. There may be constituencies to which ho is adapted, but certainly thfs is not one. To us his chances of success are hopeless. Under the circumstances it would be unwise for him to involvo the late members and the constituency in large expenses and only to receive his own defea.t. The meeting in the market-place on Wednesday suffices to show that ho has no prospect of success. By retiring he will conceal from his frionds his and their weakness. If, however, the contest be persisted in the electors must bo earnest and active in showing their satisfaction with their late members, lest from want of care and attention either one should bo ousted. It would be ungrateful and dishonourable to allow, from carolessuess, a stranger to snatch the honours due to those who have served and honoured the constituency by their labours. If the electors only do their duty, there can be no doubt of the result. Lot the rallying cry be Richard and Fothorgill—Fothorgill and Rich- ard." Mr Halliday's cause will be advocated only by the Tory organ. Lot the electors draw their own conclusion from this and support the Liberals whom they have tried and not found wanting. Referring to the county election, we hope with equal earnestness that the lato members, Messrs Vivian and Talbot.will also be re-cloctod. Both are staunch Liberals, and both havo for many years served their constituents faithfully. There is a Tory candidate in the field, Sir Ivor Guest, an untried man, and it would not be generous to rojoct members that have served us so long and elect a Tory.

Sacal l-ttteUtgcucf* PUAUM\CF.T7TICAL-—We are pleased to an- nounce that Mr. Rees David Morgar, eldest, eon of Mr John Morgan, Abernantygroes, Cwmbacb, has successfully passed his preiiminaiy examina- tion of the Pllarmaceutical Society. Mr Morgan was prepared for the examination by the Rev. William Thomas, M A., Llandyssul, Cardigan- shire. BOARD OF GUAKDIANS.—The weekly meeting was held on Saturday, Mr G. T. Clark presiding. There was a fair attendance of guardians. The minute< of the last meeting were read and con- firmed. One death from small-pox was reported to have occurred in Aberdare. The master reported 285 inmates, against 312 in the corres- ponding week of last year. Before the relief revision lists were proceeded with, MrW. Gould remarked that complaints were rife throughout the town of the harsh manner in which several old women had been treated by the board in hav- ing their reiief suddenly stopped. He mentioned one instunci of a woman whose relief was stopped last Saturday, because she had a son somewhere near Swansea, whom the board thought should support her, and the consequence was the poor woman was without bread on Sunday to begin with. He thought that in such cases the board should not cut off the relief suddenly, but allow an opportunity f' r communicating with the son, so that between the two the poor old woman should not be allowed to suffer. In another instance, an old woman had been ofFered the house, and a ratepayer had told him (the speaker) that he would rather bjg subscriptions for her from door to door than that she should go into the house. Many guardians voted for the houa?, because they were under the impression that unless the person relieved became an inmate of the house, the board could not receive from the relatives the amount of relief given, but this was entirely wrong; they cauld prosecute and recover by law whether the relief was given out of the house or in it. The Chairman said he should be excessively sorry if it were to go forth to the public that the board did anything under any circumstances which would h ive the efF.cfc ot reducing a person to starvation. Whenever the board cut off the sup- plies to any person it was done through the ro- lieving-ofHeer, and it was his duty to see that no person was allowed absolutely to starve. If, in the case spoken of by Mr Gould, the relieving officer found that the person whose leave was stopped on Saturday had nothing to eat on Monday, he should then and there have given relief in kind on his own responsibility, and afterwards re- ported the matter to the board. He was sorry to say that of late years, although wages had risen to such all extent, so that no person in this dis- trict was justified in throwing their parents on the parish, there were many who were not ashamed of doing so, and took every opportunity, by means ot lying and deceit, to throw their burdens upon the parish which they themselves were well able to bear. It was a very difficult thing to do absolute justice in these matters. The only thing was to oe as careful as possible, but they must understand their duty in one re- spect. It was not only the law of the land, but a higher law, that people should support their parents, and when men were found w ll able to do so who neglected that duty, it must be thrown upon them, and if the board always interfered in the matter they would have a great deal of I eg il business thrown on their hands whicR they ought not to have. In very bad cases the board did virtually step in and compel, but in ordinary cases, if it had happenod that a child had been badly brought up (which was sometimes the case) the board could not be deemed harsh if the parent was put to some inconvenience in forcing relief from the child. He fully agreed with Mr Gould in the main, but differed merely in the application of the principles. Mr B. Kirkhouse pointed out that as a rule the board allowed the relief to re- main for a week or more in order that the persons might correspond with those who ought to sup. port them. A long disscussion took place on the subject, and two cases of what were looked upon its special hardship were mentioned. These were as follows Elizabeth Mason, 68, with a son 3i, a bailer, whos present whereabouts was not known, the daughter, 31, married to a miner with three children, and another, 28, to a (Jollier with one child only. The woman had been receiving 2s a week, and this was stopped because the board thought her daughter would be well to maintain her. The board considered the case, and deter- mined the allowance. The next was Catherine Newall, G7, with one son, 38, in America, not heard of for three years, one an ostler at Bed- wellty, and three daughters living in the parish, two married to puddlers and one to a miner. The board considered that between them the family ought to support the old woman, aud offered the alternative of the houss. There was no further business of interest.
ABERDARE POLICE COURT.
ABERDARE POLICE COURT. TUKSDAY.—(Before A. de Rutzcn, anrlR. ll. Rhys, Esquires.) DRUNKENNESS.—The following porsons woro fined for being drunk and riotous :—William Vickery and Frederick Pofchecary, 58 and costs (roorge Hobbs, 105 and costs Thomas Mathews, 5s and costs John Williams, Aberaman, 15s and costs; Henry Prothoroe for drunkennoss, 5s and costs. TIIKEATS.—Saiuuol Whitcombo was charged with using throats towards William Thomas on the 6th inst. Mr Beddoe appeared in dofence. It appeared that the parties worked togothor in the Plough pit, and on the day in question an altercation took place between, them, when de- fondant rose up a hatched and swore ho would split complainant's head open. The Bonch did not think complainant need trouble himself any more in the matter, it being evidently an idio threat; and if everybody came there to whom a similar throat had been made the Bench would have more to do than they could attend to. Complainant was ordered to pay costs, do- fendant being allowed one day's wages. AsSAULT.-lsaac Jones was charged with assault- ing Ann Griffiths, wife of John Griffiths, Cwrn- bach. Mr J3eddoe for d fence. Complainant alhged that as she was returning home from tne shop at night with a quantity of good- the de- fendant pushed her rudely until some of the goods fell to the ground. Fined Xl and costs. A COWARDLY RXJFFXAN.—John Rees, alias "Shoni Shishwrn," a repulsive looking fellow, employed as a spire hand in the Abernant forge, was brought up under a warrant charged with assaulting Mr Joiin Andrews, clerk at the Aber- nant office. Mr Phillips (Itosser and Phillips) prosecuted. Prosecutor, who had a bad black eye, deposed I am forge pay clerk in the Abernant office. On Mfinday, the 19th inst., at half-past 5 o'clock, I was returning to the office when prisoner came up to me very impudently and asked if I had got his m uu-y ready. I asked him what he meant. He said, "I meau have you got my monpy rea$j\ I told him he e >u!d not bo paid uff lie ',iiul a note from the overman or foreman, that I iv*d no power to discharge him without. He s £ <id, Well, you told me to come down her-' to day, and that 1 should be paid off," I ropoatod to htm that ho would not be paid oil unless ho hail an order. lie then said, D you, beeauso I aui. a poor man you put upon me." With that he put down his jack and b;G and struck at me, knocking nio down with his fist, the blow beu;g on the right temple. While on the ground I fsould see him coming on to kick me aud I gave him a push till ho was against the v/alL I then triod to seramblo up, but was knocked down again and was kicked severely several ti'nos on the ground. When I I found ho -would not give up kicking mo I called out and he then desisted. I got up as woull as I could, although much ex- hausted and ,got to the oftiee. The mark on my eye was cause I by prisoner's violence. I havo a mark on my back its largo as my hand, and as black as possible, and I fool pain thore now. I have not been out since until to-day, and have boon under mcdical treatment. I did not strike prisoner at all. Prisoner, in defence, alleged that yroseeutor kicked him first' Tho Bench said tho only doubt they had was whether it would not be most proper to soud tho prisonor for trial at the Quarter Sessions. He had been guilty of an assault of the most aggravated character aud without the least ex- cuse. He wvmld have to go to prison for two months^with hard labour. Prisoner on leav- ing tho doak, made use of* a threat to the e'ioct that he- would remember prosecutor again when he can io out of prison. Mr Phillips hav- ing drawn their Worships' attention to it, Mr Andrews wa? re-sworn, and stated that having heard the threat, he was afraid prisonor would do him somo bodily injury. The Bench there- upon ordered prisoner to be bound over, him- self in X20 snd one surety in £:W, to keep the peace for six: calendar months, and if he failed to find a surety to be imprisoned for that time. Failing to find a surety, prisoner was taken down.
MR FOTHERGILL AT ABERDARE.
MR FOTHERGILL AT ABERDARE. On Wedae^ny evening, Mr Fothorgill ad- dressed a crow lod meeting at Oalvaria Chapel. Most of the leading inhabitants of tho town were present, and the honourable gontleman on making his appearanco mot with a most on- thusiastic reception. Mr Fothorgill, jun.,was also very warmly received. Mr W. Thomas, manager of the Gadlys Works, presided, and briefly introduced the proceedings. Mr Fothergill said Oentlemen, I must say that I am a little taken aback at this exceedingly cordial reception, and also at being so very aud- donly called upon to address you. I thought my friend, the chairman, would make a few explana- tory remarks, and so give me a little time to col- lect my thoughts. The fact is, I have been so busily engaged that I have hardly had five minutes to consider the subjects which I should bring before you, and instead of which I find my- self already before you, but not quite as well prepared as I should have desirei. You will re- member it is only some five years since we so constantly met at the last election, at which you received me with most surprising kindness, and rcturnod me with a m,j()t-ity of votes that was most gratifying to my feelings. Those five years hive passed over our heads, and certainly when I look upon the coujitonanc a of many of my frien'ls, I must say tliat time has dealt very light- ly with them. Whether it bo the prosperity which has blessed this district—and in blessing tho district blessed them—or whether it be our pure mountain air, but I cannot help feeling that time has not been quite so lenient to me. The truth is the hours 1 have been obliged to keep during the last five years in London have not been by any mea ns as healthy hours as you spend in the country 5 however, my consolation and hope is that I have given you satisfaction. (Hear, hear ) I went into Parliament, as you know, fresh from all th.! vocations of busiuess as your representative, pledged to support certain mea- sures with all my strength and p-ivver. f will tell you it is not only the speeches which arc ad- dressed in the Hall of St. St- piious are of most good, but members of Parliament, especially pri- vate members, are able to o a gr -at d al of ^ood in the coriidors, in the library, and in the smok- ing r oin of the Bouse of Commons. I must here confess to a slight weakness—f don't, smoke my- self, but I wish 1 did. It seems to me to be a very genial occupation, at all events, those who smoke seelD to like it; but although I don't sf.:oke myself, I am happy to sit with thoso who ùo, and they are good enough to overlook my weakness. The fact is, there is a great dual more practical work done in the spioking room of the House of Commojts than perhaps in <w'y other part of it. In the House itself men spodk under a sense of very serious responsibility. It is not trifling to a man to know that every word he utters is being reported. So it is now, not a single word but what I say is being clapped in black and white. To thoaa who have not tried it they may think it notlung, but those who have think it really does check the now of whit lie has to say. In the House of Commons you know that all is reported, and though truly you have an audience indulgent, but yet highly critical Now, the House of Commons, according to my experience—aud I have had some five years' —is exceedingly indulgent aid patient to those who talk about subjects they understand, but if a man is continually jumping up, and continually making speeches upon all subjects—which, of course, any man c tn do, because every one of us has an opinion upon all subjects-if he is con- tinually doing that which I have stated, he is ceased to be listened to. I have been careful when rising in my place not to attempt to c tch the Speaker's eye without feeling that laIn toler- ably prepared to tell the house something which I know, and perhaps winch the house itself does not know. I have always felt in the House of Commons that I, individually was nothing, but that I was one of the representatives of a very important borough, and therefore that I should be exceedingly careful in what I aiid on all oc casions. Now, it has been a very great comfort and consolation to know that, as lar as I am able to gather the opinions of you, my constituents, that when I have spokeu upon any subject I have expressed that which you approved. (Ci leers.) 1 come before you to-night again, friends, to ask you for a renewal of the support that you gave me five yoars ago. If I recollect rightly, fivo years ago we had several important matt"rs likely to come before Parliament, upon which you all hold decided opinions. You will rocolleot at that time the Irish Bill was one of those, and you ex- pressed a strong opinion u:)on the matter, and I pledged myself ¡'O do all that Jay iu my power, and by my vote to do as y m aetsired. Wo upo 1 that occasion came to a distinct understanding, and I repeatedly gave You my pledg; that I would vote for the disestablishment oi ciio Lis 1 Church. I havo fulfilled my pledges That Act was passed with gc:jer jl acclamation, and we have every reason to believe that it has produced a good effect. Tucn following that important measure, let me remind you that the Irish Lin J Bill also strongly fi"od your miuds, and when I mot you 1 asked your opinion about it, and I gathered from you that you disapproved of the tenants having no kind of compensation for their outlay. Those are two very important measures, but you are so familiar with these questions that I inwardly feel I am teHiug a thrice told tale, but I oaly mention them 10 order to remind you that when I give a pledge I fed it my bounden duty to fulfil the pledges I have given. (Ap- plause.) I therefore hope and believe, my friends, that when I undertake—as I shall d) presentiy-to support this or that measure, that you may be perfectly sure that I wi 1 do it. There was another measure to whiou I gave my hearty support, and which r-aliy interests us very much, and tbar- was the important measure known as the Judicature B II. The law of the land wai considerably improved, an I I supported that Bill with aiy vote In addition to tue Judicature Bill there was a Bill for the abolition of purchase in the Army. It was evident to my mind that the service io the Army, and n » o.her service, could be properly performed when an official position could bj obtained by purchase. In this case I voted iu accordance ^1,;h your wishes. There was another measure, of w ll°b wo shall obtain the full benefit; next luesday, I rnoau tho Badot. (Cheers.) I know it was considered by many that as a large employer of labour, a,, consequently, no doubt, wielding a large influence, and a man who pays from eight thousand to t n thousand pounds a week in wages—-it was sup- posed by many that I could scarcely be a true friend of it, because it was against my interests. they were wroag, beciu-<e it was my sinuere coa- viction that th j Biliot was the rinht of the work- ing man, and the right of every individual ia the community. It was the only way 10 which every man could express uss real ooaviedou. I »up_ ported th > Ballot with my f ill reasonable appro- bation. I promised you to s -pportit. I did so and oa every oco wioi I endeavoured with others to 'nake it as efficient a measure as possible. We ilow have the Billot in a tolerably effli,nt form. Wo have the pr.nciple of the Ballot ly whether the m ><ie of voting is as simple and efficacious as it migit be, I will n >t say. But I take this opportunity of begging you all my friends to be as particular as y'u cm p )s-) y b in not registering but in recording your votes, j Il may seem a very simple tiling to be given a sheet of paper, aoa to record your vot-'s. I my- self have had a little personal experience, and I know it is not as simple as is by some people thought. 1 had to vote the other day at Tenby on a municipal matter. I went into the room, and w.19 received with great civility. Tnere was an officer of the army present; he was a man ac- customed to make returns and filling up papers, and was an educated man. Doubtless, in con- templating the record of his vote by ballot, he read accurately the directions for voting, but he came out of the little apartment into which ho had entered for the purpose of voting, and he said to the officer present, I have spoiled my piper." (Laughter.) I could not help thinking this was a remarkable fact. lucre was a man accuit,Olned to filling up papers, and know what he was about, but he had the moral courage to go out and say he had spoiled his paper. It was possible in the process of the ballot if any person spoiled a voting paper to get another o n :c, c n in the miscarriage. Therefore, I beg of y »u that should any of you, by some inadvertentput a cross against tho name you did not mean to, have no false pride, but go at onco and confess tha mis- take, and get another paper. My turn followed to go and vote on the occasion referred to, and I was not very confident after the mistake made, especially whon the apartment was somewhat dark, and I had: not such powerful eyes as when I was twenty-five. In this instance at Tenby, however, the case wa3 more confused, for there were fourteen names, but next Tuesday you will have oulv three candidates to select from. which will be much easier, and mind which one you s.'l-ct. (Laughter.) Well, i tendered my rote all right, I believe, and did not spoil my paper.' New, to the man you vote for. I will not only tell y iu to take care of your papers, but be care ful as t) your men. I would ask you, L :t me be one of them." (Cheers.) Well, tho Ballot Act has been passed, and every one present aud every man in this constituency CllI, without fear or favour, vote for whoever he likes. (Cheers.) Having now spoken of the past be would eotae to the work that was proposed to be undertaken in the new parliament. These measures had been ably put by the Prime Minister, Air. Glad- stone, in his address, In the first place, there was a glance at economy, and he must confess ho was dis lppointed in the amount of economy of the last five years. He did not blame the Govern- ment for this, but the truth was that economy was more popular in the abstract than in practice. Air. Lowe proposed an actual saving of twelve millions and a half, but still the expenditure of the country amounted to £ 70,000,000. When, however, we considered that things cost twice what they did it was a matter for congratulation that it remained at that sum. In view of keeping the amount down to that sum, Mr. Gladstone, who was the ablest man he had ever m t, now proposed to do away with the income bx -a tux that was singularly demoralising and did a large amount of harm throughout the country. The working classes, too, had an important interest in it, because owing to the general prosperity of the country, and cons quently so large the earnings of working men, that many of them were receiving amounts which would bring them within the law and it had been suggested to call upon the em- ployers to make a r- turn of the earnings of their men so that they could be made to pay the tax. They would not relish that at all, and therefore all would feel glad that this iniquitous t IX was likely to be got rid of. (Cheers.) Mr Gladstone also intended to take away the taxes on the necessa- ries of life. He (the speaker) should be glad to see the tax taken off sugar-let luxuries be tax d and not n-cessaries. Having briefly alluded to the Education Bill, lie proceeded to consider the proposed equalization of the county and borough franchises, and expressed himself anxious to ob- tain for the counties the same privileges a* the boroughs alr -ady poss s-ied. In conclusion he dwelt UPPll the Welsh steam coal trad •. His hearers would doubtless remember the part lie had taken in proving the superiority of the Welsh steara coal over all o:h-r coal iu the world. (Ap- plause.) He regretted to state that the iron trade .)f the country was in a very depressed state, but fortunately for this neighbourhood we ha I the steam c'lal trade to fall back upon. Mr. Fother- gill again thanked them for the very cordial man n.'r in which he had been recei. ed, and resumed his seat amidst rounds of applause. An opportunity was then aff >rded any one pre- sent to put a question to the hon. gentleman. There',being 110 respons-, Dr. Price then moved a resolution expressive of approval of Mr. Fother- gill's past services, and pledging those present to do all in their power to secure his return. This was seconded by Mr. W. Dyke, and car- ried by acclamation. A vote of thanks having been accorded the chairman, three lusty cheers were given for Mr. Fothergill, and the meeting dispersed. I
MR. HENRY RICHARD'S MEETINGS.
MR. HENRY RICHARD'S MEETINGS. On Tuesday evening, Mr. Henry Richard ad- dregsed his Merthyr constituents, in the Drill Hall, Mr. C. H" James in the chair. Mr Richard, who was received with the utmost enthusiasm, commenced by expressing the deep regret be felt at the death of his valued friend Mr Evan Williams, who had been chairman of the Nonconformist Committee from its foundation, and who discharged the duties of his office in so conciliatory a manner as to win the esteem of all. He felt in a peculiar position to-night, for he had been long accustomed to regard himself as mem her for Merthyr that it was extn-einly strange to feel conscious that he was no longer so. He saw large placards about the town announcing that Mr Henry Richard, M.P., would speik; and he was constandly rec iving letters with the same title inscribed but in fact he WliS sailing under false colours, and was liable to be taken up and brought before a magistrate for attempting to im- pose upon people by false pretences. He was no longer a member for Merthyr Tydfil; but whether he should be so again, rested en- tirely with theins Ives (loud cheers), But what- ever might be idieir decision, whether they re- ceived or refused him. he should never forget or fum-mber without feelings of the profoundest gratitude the kindness and generous confidence which they had alw-.ys bestowed upon him hitherto, and for the affectionate ordiality with which they Etlways opened their arms to receive him, and he hoped he h id done nothing to forfeit that kindness and confidence. II., would now take a brief retrosp 'ct of the work done by Parliament during the past Sessiion, and. might perhaps give a brief resume of what had been don by that Parliament which had just expired, during the whole period of its existence. There was not much practical legislation done last Ses- sion. Mr Gladstone brought forward the Irish University Education bill, on which he had be- stowed great pains, and which he had the fullest confidence would pass as triumphantly as other usuful measures for Ireland, but this bill could not succeed, because it sought to reconcile parties and principles which were altogether irreconci- lable because it caused the same turmoil and excitement as the other educational difficulty, called the religious difficulty, but which, he thought, ought to be called the sectarian difficulty. It proved the truth of what was hard to learn, but what people will be compelled to learn, viz that the Government cannot do better with re- ligion than leave it alone, for when they attempt to finger and manipulate it, so as to convort it to purposes of wordly policy, they would be- come entangled in endless embarrassment. He had voted for the second reading of this Bill, as did all the Nonconformist members but, as they knew, it had been defeated. The speaker then allud-d to the retirement of Mr Gladstone, and the offer made by her Majesty to Mr Disraeli to take his place. But that prudent and long- headed gentleman declined to put his head under the yoke, although his hungry followers were greedily anxious for the sweets of office. Mr Disraeli said then that he had no policy prepared, and judging from the counter blast with which he met Mr Gladstone's address, he appeared to be much in the same position now: for anyone who could extract a distinct or intelligent policy from this despatch must be as clever a man as he who tried to extract sunbeams from cucumbers. But the University Bill fell dead, and was buried- disappeared without regret from any party. He might repeat over it an epitaph inscribed on the tombstone of an unfortunate person nam ed Bill I- Here lies poor Bill -yes, here bo lies NoboJy laughs, nobody cri s Where he has gone to or how he fares, If (body ask), for nobody cares." —(Hoar, hoar). Th" Government r -eeivei a blow in tiiis d J(Jat from which it never recovered. It lojt its vigour and vitality, and it was time that it should decently di*. Tiie Adjudicature Bill was next. touched upon. Tho fusi >u of the counts of law and equity, one piiut of which was to abolish and appoiate jurisdiction o' the House of Lords and every OJu with half an eye could see that a political holy wis not tho right placo that a p i to be a court of law. an 1 the strangest thing wn that they acquiesced in their own extinction, and consented judicially to -lie without a murmur. Mr St.uisf d l's L >cal Taxation Bill wis next, touched up in. One of its obj ects was to bring a large a:n )nnt of the prasperity of rich p 'rsoas under taxation, which had hitherto avoided pac- ing public burdens, but it cam? too late. Toe Lords wanted to go into toe c ni itry aud shoot partridges. In the Queen's speech th?y had been promised a Bill to amend tho lCJujatio.i Ae- an I although ho himself had not expected muen, he had certainly been miserably disappointed with the result, for all that h id been done was to transfer the payment of soli >ol fees for deiiouii national education from Sjhjoi Boards to the guardians, and this, with the exception of the abolition of Deuison's Act, nothing hid bien done to amend the E location Act of 1870. Some houHst attempts ha 1 b wn mido during tii.tS isuoa to amend tin; laws between capital and labour, so ne of wide:1 bore very cru.dly aud harshly oa the working man, and the extreme harshness which, at any rate, these laws cm bo enforced was instanced by the case of the London gas stokers. Tne speaker referral to the injustice of looking upon broaches of contract by workmen as criminal offences, and asked why in this respect more than any other thero should be one law for the rich and anothor for the p,-) r (hear, h..ar). Mr H ireoui t brought forward this Bill, and it was read a second ti ne witll the conseat of th. whole House, but it was so mutilated by the L)rd) that Mr Hareourt himself moved the rejection of his own Bill because, in the condition in which it came from tho L)rds it rather aggravated than alleviated the evils which it was intended to meet, but it woull bo introduced against with an abso- lute certainly of being pissed. Mr Mundclla had prepared a Crimiual Ltw Alocndmünt Act, and instanced the case of the women who had been convicted at Chipping Norton. During the while Session Mr Mundella had failed to fiad an opportunity of bringing forward this measure, and ho (the speaker) had sat by his side ready to assist him, but no such opp >rtuaity offered but ho flilt pretty certain that if Mr Gladstone again came into p wjr G veriiinent would take up both these measures, for two of the principal law officers of the Crown—Sir li. James and Sir W. Vernon Harcourt—both had their names 011 the backs of these Bills, "and the country had a right to chal- lenge those in power to carry out in their «ffhial capacity what they attempted in vain to do as private members. A strenuous eff >rt had been made by Mr Osborne Morgan to pass the Burial Bill, and Mr Disraeli had done him (Mr Osborne Morgan) the signal honor to come down person- ally an i move the rejection of th,) Bill. Long anl elaborate speeches, but which appeared to him to be a speech in which the speaker had no heart, for Mr Disraeli was of too enlarged a mind for the narrow bigotry of those men who were trying to kaep Disseutors fro n the churchyard. It seemed as if Mr Disrieli hal been galvanised into action by the forty parsons power beltiad him, and had been obliged to appear as if he were fighting the cause of the Cnurch o < this pitiful occasion. The Bill was cirried through its second reading by a majority of 60, but, lfke Mr Mundeda S Bill, had been ultimately defeated bv delays and obstracles, so that Mr Morgan could novor cany it through efieetively, and was obliged to drop it. The speaker then alluded 10 the^aldress brought by hiiusclf before the House of Commons praying her Majesty to instruct the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to enter into com nunicati JH with Foreign Governments, with a view of re-arranging aud improving the present condition of internati nial law, and of substituting a permanent system of internatioanl arbitration. This had been opposed by Mr Gladstone iu an able speech, but, be felt bound to say, in a most kind and generous spirit, both as regarded him- self and-the principle. Mr Gladstone did not re- sist the principle, but made so many cone -ssions in the course of his speech that several members came to lum afterwards, and said be ought to have voted for the motion. It hal b 'cn s lid that this motion had boon cirried by a flake. Now he did not exactly si now w tat was meant by thin word, but if it meant that the majority had been secured by a surprise or by a ruse, ho emphati- cally denied it. He bad always kept this peace question apart from politics,- but he felt the utmost pleasure iu saying th it eight or nine Con- servatives had voted with him 01 that occasion, amongst whom were a brother of Mr Gitiiorue Hardy, and Lord Granville. The platform of peace was one on which ail parties, religious and denominational, eould stand together and swell that anthem" Glory to Gol in tho Highest,, an I on earth peace aud good will to all men." Mr Gladstone expressed a doubt whether the opinion of the people was sulfioieutly matured or whether they were sufficiently iu favour of the principles of peace, to warrant the Government in taking the steps recommended and he determined to test this opinion by a pilgrimage of peace through Europe; and wherever he went he had been re- ceived with open arms With reference to the late strike, the speaker said fw had been asked why be did not make an effort to aroitrate in the strike between the in istei-s and the men, which bed existed in this place, and he was glad and proud to have this opportunity of meeting them ftco to face to answer this question. He under- stood that endeavourshtd bun made to blacken his character in the minds of the working men on that account. He then proceedad to explain how it was that be had been unable to be here with Mr Mundella, and he would tell them candidly that thero did not appear to him to be the slightest chanci of applying the prinoiptej of arbitration in this instance, and the masters had just pre- viously refused in a positive and peremptory man. ner LO havo the matter settled by arbitration, and he did not think he had sufficient influence with theoi to induce them Io change their minds. He was not at all a favourite with this class of persons, and it might be remembered that at his last election he had been bitterly opposed by them all with one conspicuous exception (hear, hear). He hoped, however, that he had not turned out quite such a bad fellow as they anticipated, and his opinion as to the result of interference was justi- fied by the failure of such an able maa as Air Mundella, but he could assure them that ths con- dition of things here was never aosent from hia mind, and he felt t.irm)recom;ntthtn those flippant Tory writers who had said so much. Ha had t-eeii in correspondence -vith people in this town during the whole of the time, and Mr Chnrlell Ja nes. had even come up to London on purpose to confer with him on the subject, but he fdt that, as he had no practical plan to propose, he coul 1 do 110 goad. lIe at one time thought of communicating direct with some of the working men, but considered that would be unfair to Mr Halliday, who had couducted the business of the strike with judgment, temper, and moderation, so at longth he wrote to Mr Halliday, and made an offer, lie made this explanation to vindicate himself, because this charge of standing by while his constituents were sufFering had been constantly and malignantly used, with a view of alienating from hi 11 the affections of the working man, who were so dear to him, but as they now saw this was a falsehood. The speaker then reviewed the measures spoken of in Mr Gladstone's address, and other matters for future legislature inning, affecting the borough, and concluded by remind- ing his hearers that it was for them to say whether he was again to represent thein or not. If they wished him to do so he should only say Here I am, iiond me." He then sat down amid loud cheering. A vote of confidence was proposed, and warmly carried, the meeting pledging itself to exurt itself for the return of Mr Ricburd once in >" •. On Wodaoaday evening1, Mr Richard ad- dretfsod his Mountain Ash constituents at the Workman's Hall; Mr Davis, Maosyifynon, in tho chair. Thursday, ho allros-sod a crowdod mooting at Siloa Chapel in this town. At both meetings unanimous votos oc confidence wero passed.

The following is an extract from the report of jthe committee of the above institution, just issu d In 1867 the Com nittee purchised tha pre- sent College premises at Aberystwyth, and thereby committed thense'ves to new and grave responsibilities. The acquisition of this property has, no doubt exercised a considerable influence on their subsequent proceedings. The obligation in regard to tne purchase-money at the "end of four years from the date of the purchase; the dissatisfaction felt by the contributors at the great delay —i day of years—i* th coavnencJ- ment of educational work and th public connlencointhe ultimate the undertaking was waning, couple- inadequate rate at which subacrip coming in, were matters that caused mittee to feel that new measures must I and especially that the opening of tl could not with safety be much longer The opening of the College, they would tend to strengthen confidence efforts to o vtain funds, while it woull young men the benefits for which they so loag.
