The UsURPER ELECTROMAGNETIC radicals have
denounced President johnson as a usurper,
and now they have by their votes in the Sen
ate not only accepted him as such, but have
entrusted to him dictatorial powers. Against
his will they have declared that he shall i'm
prison all State judges who disagree with him
about the negro; they have declared that he
shall fill thousands of Offices with his favorites;
that he shall have supreme control of the
Southern States; that he shall use to an arbi-
trary extent his power as commander-inchisf
of the army and navy Of the United States.
These are momentous powers to entrust to o
single individual. But we hope President
Johnson has the sagacity to exercise them with
prudence and judgment.

The BROADWAY RAILROAD COMPLICATIONS Ar
AIBASY.-Tbe middle at Albany about the
relief Of Broadway grows more and more
curious every day. AT one time we learn that
all the elevated railroad bills have been
qnelched. AT another that they have not. At
one time we hear that the Broadway surface
bill has been passed in one house. At another
that the corrugated railroad scheme, literally
new wrinkle" has also been adopted. In the
midst of this middle it Is difficult to UNDER
stand what has and what has not been done
on the subject Four things, however, seem
clear the engineers OF the scheme of a
railroad under Broadway have succeeded in
having the bill for their job adopted in the
Assembly by vote Of ninety-six TO thirteen;
the bills for the Broadway Suface Railroad,
the Crosstown railroad, aud the Ecvevated
railroad (Which one does not appear) have
passed. These are probably only a few
among the many acts in the Broadway
railroad farce that is being enacted at
Albany. The Broadway underground rail-
road men are thoroughly aware that their
plan will spever be carried into execution
The idea Is prepostcrous, repugnant to the
good sense Of our citizens, and will never
meet their sanction. Its friends may coalesce
with the Broadway surface schemers. and thus
accomplish something in the end-perhaps in
two ends, II none other than the erection of
enormous warehouses at both extremities of the
city. The Broadway Surface Railroad Is, with
out doubt, the real object In view In the At
tainment Of which all other interests In the way
Of relief tor Broadway will finally be SUBJ
merged. But the plan that seems best adapted
10 the views of all parties, II IL does not meet
appreciation, il 10 have combination Of all their
the schemes proposed, and new avenue con-
structed In the rear Of the principal buildings
on Broadway, say somewhere between that
thoroushfare and West Broadway, and UNDER
ground, surface, and elevated railroads erected
between the walls, under the second stories of the
buildings through which they may be obliged
to pass. This will practically be affording
three or four new avenues from the lower TO
the upper part Of the city, from the Battery 10
Central Park. Here, II the underground plan
be found impracticsble, the surface and ele-
waited roads will be ofgrcat service in relieving
Ne ~-.--nrsss travel upon Broadway. Ia

CONFEDERATION IN THE BRrTBu PRovNcEs.-
The correspondence from New Brunswick which
we publish to-day throws good deal of light
upon the question now sgitating the British
American colonies-the subject Of confedera-
ton. On the part OF the maritime portion of
those States there appears 10 be very decided
hostility 10 the confederation scheme. New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward
Island do not seem TO recognize the value 10
their own interests In this project The feeling
among the people in these colonies Is rather in
favor Of annexation 10 the United States than
10 consolidation Of power In q centralized
government Probably they do not feel dis
posed to pay the expenses contingent upon the
establishment Of the proposed new govern
ment without enjoying any Of the advantages,
for Il appears that the colonies will have to
bear oil the cost Canada occupies vast area
Of the British North American possessions; but
the maritime provinces enjoy the largest and
most active portion Of the trade, especially the
carrying trade and the fisheries. Therefore
they do not see the advantage Of consolida-
ton with the larger sportion of her Mjesty's
dominion In North America, which may inter-
fcre withs their desire 10 be annexed 10 this
country, and at the same time impose upon
them heavy taxation for the support Of q
colonial government, which will be sfSsr all
only the shadow Of imperialism, and may
sventuats in IN sstsbIIshsd monsrchy.
