Special Correspondence.

This article presents information on various socio-political and administrative developments in the U.S. and from around the world. One of them being a report on the Franchise Bill, which was brought in, public attention but little has been said about the bill. There can be no doubt that the debates on it will be the chief pitched battle of the session. Notice has been given of several amendments to the second reading, the most important of which, as coming from a leader of the Opposition, Great Britain, is that of Lord John Manners. Another being a report on the German parliament.
