LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

SECOND CHAMBERS.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECIATOR."1 SIR,—When writing an article on "Second Chambers," which appears in the Contemporary Review for this month, and which you did me the honour to notice three weeks ago, I addressed to Mr. Schurz, of New York—formerly Senator from Missouri, and subsequently Secretary of the Interior in Mr. Hayes's Administration—some questions regarding the working of the double-Chamber system in the United States. His reply, which arrived too late to be used in the article referred to, may have some interest for your readers, and I enclose it in case you think fit to publish it.—I am, Sir, &c., Athenceum Club, November 26th. J. BRYCE.
