Messrs. Brown and Davis of Mississippi, Yulee
of Florida, and several other traitors, are about
to withdraw from the Senate and from Washing
ton. Their departure will be relief and gain
to the Senate, where their presence has been
bar to useful legislation. But if the President
had little of the spirit of Jefferson OF jackson,
these men would not be suffered to go and place
Themselves at the head Of armed rebels. Jefferson,
if he were now President, would arrest them for
treason, as he did Aaron Burr on much slighter
grounds In the hands Of Old Hickory, they
would have Jared still worse.

In response TO an order from Judge Hilton Of
the Court of Common Pleas, requiring Mr.. Platt
the recently deposed City Chamberlain, to show
cause yesterday, why peremptory mandamuS
should not issue compelling him to transfer the
books, accounts and deposits of his late Office
to Mr. Deylin, the new City Chamberlain, Judge
Whiting as counsel for Mr.. Plat, presented
writ of certiorar issued by Judge Barnard,
transferring the case to the Supreme Court.
Judge Hilton denied the power Of the Supreme
Court to remove a proceeding from the Court of
Common Pleas, and the argument upon the man
damus was proceeded with, occupying the en-
tire day. The Counsel to the Corporation amin
advertcd upon the serious arrangement to the
financial affairs of the City Government result
ing from these contests for the custody Of the
City finances. We are glad to see that Senator
Manierre has introduced bill to make this
Office bureau in the Finance Department OF
| the City, placing the incumbent above the con-
troll of yenal politicians. The Controller may
suspend him for malfeasance; but he shall not be
removed till the charges against him have been
certified to the Governor, by the Controller, and
the Chamberlain has been heard in his defense.
Should this measure receive Legislative sanction,
We think it would meet the approval OF the citi-
zens of New.York.
