Great Fire in New York.

A terrible and destructive fire broke
out in Barnn ms Museum, Corner Of Broad.
way and Ann Streets, and nearly oppo-
site the Astor House. 1t was crowded
with visitors at the time and quite panic
prevailed until the building was cleared
OF visitors. The flames spread with great
rapidity, notwithstanding the efforts of the
tire department. TIE building with its
immense stores of curiosities living and
dead, was consumed In q very brief
space Of time the entire block of CONNER
cial palaces was cnveloped in sheet of
flames, involving loss probably OF mil.
lions of money.

stanton on the Stage.

Secretary Stanton-tbe most wonderful
Stanton, after vibrating to and fro, after
rising on tho heels of despotism, and sink
ing low, in the opinion Of his countrymen
has finally, after soaring through the
realms Of military Justice, como down on
the stage. Ford's Theatre was to have
been opened, but the Secretary steps in
and forbids it, By what law? Who ever
before supposed that Secretary could
close any mans business? lie might as
well, by an arbitrary odict, close every
store, mill, fOundryor factory in the land.
The assumption is dcspotic---kipgly. Ttis
unvarnishcd tyranny such as is not ex.
cepted in Rnssa. II Ford is guilty of
any thing, why was he not convicted be-
fore the star.ohamber council If not,
then, by what law, or pretended law C an
his property be closed? The government
will yet pay Mr.. Ford for the damage
thus sustained by order Of this petty abo.
hton tyranny Shame on Free Ameri-
ca! when she must be ruled and tyranized
over by such a snob.

MILITARY CoURTs.-Hcnry Winter
Davis, the ablest Republican member of
the last Congress, speaking oftho present
military trials in Washington, remarked !:
sit Is not a Court at all, but an unlawful
combination of trcsspassers, usurping the
functions of court, guilty Of a crime, and
not exercising any authority. =

Is He RIGHT ?---Mr. Seward, a month
ago, informed tho British Minister that
peace was re- established in the United
States over the whole land. Justice
Thompson, oftho Supreme Court of Penn
sylvaDia, two weeks later, asserted the
samo thing, and therefore released, under
habeas corpus,a person arrested secretly
by military authority, General Sherman,
says the war is over; General Grant says
so, likewise. Here are two eminent mill
tary generals, one statesman and member
of President Johnson's cabinet, and one
eminet Judge Of Supreme Court, all off
cially declared that the war is over and
peace restored. If tho war is over the
habea3 corpus is restored to all the civil
courts, for the act Of Congress only per.
miNed its suspension while hostilitics ex-
isted. II PRESIDENT Johnson has conf
derce in the assertions Of lis Secretary of
State, be must believe it also, and as he
is bound to administer faithfully the Con-
ttituLton and laws, be must see that the
privilege Of the writ Of the habeas corpus
is extended 10 every citizen Of the land
who claims it.

A bolition Raid Against the
Government.

Mr.. Wendell Philds has delivered q
speech at birmingham, Massachusetts,,
in which be declared that If the policy
at present pursued at the White House
should be continued until December next,
the struggle for the supremacy Of North.
ern in opposition to Southern ideas,wbich
has been going on fer the past thirty years
would be continued for fifteen or twenty
years yet 10 come. Mr. Phillips contend
ed that the new Congress, although it
would have strong radical majorties in
both Houses, could not be depended upon
to oppose successfully the olicy of Prcsi.
dent johnson, and that, therefore, tho
battle Of tie radicals must be fought and
won before Congress again meets, a lie
said that if the President could not ac.
copt negro suffrage, the leading radicals
would not ask him TO do SO. But they re-
quiro OF him that he let matters remain
as they are that he refrain from allowing
tnC pIutCp W lCuISuuIhc IOJdtCb, anu
keep them under Military Governors until
the North ripcns and the South rccogni
zes her position. In other words, he de-
sires that Presiden, Johnson shall reduce
the South to a condition of abject vessal
age to the North, and that he shall hold
the Southern States as conquered terri
tories until the demands OF the Northern
radicals are complied with, and the preju-
dicos Of the educated Southerncr against
recognizing political equal in the iguo-
rant negro new y emaucipated from slave.
ry shall be forced to yield to the bchcsts
of Northern ianaticism, We are gratGcd
to learn from Mr.. Phillips that he does
not count the President on the radical
side; that at present he is force on the
side of the opposition, which it is necoss-
ary to flank, or subduc, or convert, before
the meeting of Congress, and that the
difficulty is in mastering up an opposition
at the North strong enough to overawe
the President before the time specified.

GIN. GRANTS RIGHT HAsp.-We copy

ave see 1t stated in the papers that Gen
Grants right hand was SO badly swollen
by the time he reached Buffalo that he had
10 do his shaking with the left. II this re-
port is true, we know how his right hand
became disabled, and an explanation of
the cause will reveal another of his traits
of character, which will not fail to greatly
impress the public. During the Generals
overwhelming impromptu reception at the
Astor House, in this city, q tall, athletic
man, who came in turn, after gripping his
hand firmly, commenced wrenching II till
the elbow turned painfully In the socket.
Perceiving the fellows object, the Gene
RAJ, who has himself a powerful grippe sudGee
ly twisted the ruff anly hand back. and look
ing for an stantsteadily in its owners eye,
contented himself with throwing 1t of, ana
with merely saying, in an UNDERGONE, which
was not heard even by Q member OF his stat
sYou Internal rascal, 1 ought TO knock you
DOWN. He then released him, aud the
villain. glad to be let of In ha. way, hur,
riedly slid through the cr,wd. The for
