Some very remarkable and astounding de-
yelopements as to the manner in which the 90
vernment Of this country is carried on have APP
pesred lately in minor and obscure prints with
which the metropolis and the rural districts
abound. According TO the often repeated asseve-
rations OF the journalists Of the Tom Thumb
order IL really appears that the constitution has
been subverted-that the government Of the
country instead Of being vested in the President
bis Cabinet Ministers and the two houses OF Con-
gress. and located at Washington. has been trans
ferrcd TO a newspaper establishment Of some ce-
lcbrity. situated at New York, and known as the
HERALD Office. The world il informed by these
journalistic p,t,tpaditres that Mr. Rschauan IL
no longer q ruler in the rcA1A - has made
over all bis powers TO this extensive, magnif-
cent, all powerful newspaper-the NEW YORK
HERALD with its four or FIVE hundred editors,
reporters. correspondents, printers. clerks, news
boys. and 80 on, and its immense issue Of nearly
one hundred thousand sheets per diem.
This is novel and remarkable phase in the
history of journalism, and We opine that II viii
be likely to astonish the statesmen and politicians
a the Old World. The power Of the press Is
unanimously Acknowledged. Napoleon said it
was more to BE- feared than bayonets In large
numbers. But he never replaced the bayonets
with the competitors shooting stick. That VIC
tory Of peace has, according to the small Fry
editors, been reserved for Mr.. Buchanan TO 40
complish. 1t II wonderful rcvolution-the most
extraordinary circumstance Of an age fruitful in
miracles. The vast and ovcrshadowing influence
Of this single Journal, as admitted on all hands,

Presidential Movement, nj Washington and

The Presidential aspirants, intriguers pipe
layers, scene shifters, cliques and coteries at
Washington, In various shapes and forms arc at
their old work Of plotting and contemplating
mining and counter.mining, for the next Presi-
dency. Among the. Virginia democracy, also,
movements, principles and issues have been
preached, with reference 10 the succession in di-
rect hostility TO the administration by one clique,
and in the shape Of open war against Doug
las by the other. And SO, throughout the country.

day.
In is39 there was nothing Of The glory OF the
Mexican war identified with the name Of General
Scott. His national character and popularity,
=, that day, rested chiefly upon his brilliant ser
vices ir the war Of 1912. and his services as the
guardian Of The public peace, along our Northern
border during the Canadian insunectionary
disturbances Of 1897. A large body OF the
people, however, q, that day had discovered in
General Scott the elements Of popular csndi-
date and the qualifications requisiteto good
administration 81 the civil affairs Of the country;

THE HAsKTs INDICTsEN.-The Haskin in
dctmont case has been removed, By an order q
the Supreme Court, from Wesichester county TO
this city, for trial. A considerable effort was
made by IIaskin and his counsel to prevent its
removal from Westchcster county, but the Judge
Of the Supreme Court before whom the motion
was argued considered the case imperative. The
order was accordingly issued. We understand
that IL is the intcuton on the part Of the de
iendant to bring on the trial as soon as possible;
q trial which will be- a sort Of investigation into
the conduct OF q committee of investigation al
Washington being no other than The famous
Willctt's Point Committee The original state
mcnt on which the indictment was found
was contained in a telcgraphic despatch from
Washington, personally unknown to the editor
of this paper, and. therefore, its publication was
entirely destitute Of malice or unkindly feeling
towards lTaskin. This despatch made some state
ments in reference 10 the conduct Of some mem
hers Of the committee, intimatng, We believe,
that some dates and portions Of the evidence
through The Congress printing Office. This trial
will, therefore, bring all the members OF the COM
mittec and many Of the witnesses including
Haskin himself before the people Of this city
SO that IL will he, a. il were, DEMONSTRATION
Of the Willott's Point investigation. We under
stand from some members Of the committee that
all the material allegations in the telegraphc
despatch will be sustained by the evidence Of
the committee itself, and by the report.
The indictments which Haskin has been
getting up against number ofiournals ia West
chester county have, we are informed, created
quite an excitement in that region They are all
the talk Of the politicians Of Wostchcster and
Putnam. We further learn that efforts will be
