IMPROVEMENTS on BRoADwAY-In another
column Of to-day's issue our readers will find
q sketch Of the improvements and business
changes which have taken place on Broadway
during the past year. The extent and rapidity
Of these changes seem almost incredible. Whole
blocks Of shabby looking buildings disappear,
and in their stead are erected palatisl stores
for the sale Of every known article Of merchan.
disc. Wholesale dealers in almost every branch
Of business pour into the great centre Of trade,
willing to pay the most enormous rents rather
than be out Of the fashion, while retailers are
being pushed up town TO 6nd quiet aud securi.

The Condemned Fenians and the Fighting
Feniuns.

The Condemned FenIans and the Fighting
Fenians.
Mr.. Seward has entered into diplomatic
correspondence with the British Minister,
recommending, in the name Of the President,
tenderness, amnesty and forgiveness in the
cases of Father Mcmahon and Colonel Lynch,
now under sentence of death at Toronto,
mainly upon the ground that their offence was
purely political one, and partly because they
are citizens OF the United States. We think it
quite likely that the request will be complied
with. Canada has nothing to gain by putting
these men to death, and she may suffer severely
by course Of retaliation on the part Of the
Fenians II the sentence Is carried out. No
charge Of bloodshed by their own hands was
proved against the prisoners. 1t was not even
shown that they were belligerents, although
arrested in company with armed men. One
was there, according to his own positive state
ment, simply as newspaper correspondent,
and the other a. minister Of religion, to at
tend to the wounded and dying, and no doubt
in this capacity his services would have been
rendered alike to the combatants on both
Sides The only apparent evidence TO connect
Father Mcmahon with the hostile movement
was an expression Of his to bring the valises
along, as the "poor boys" might need what
ever comforts they contained. This was the
voice Of humanity rather than that Of crime
In view Of these facts, and considering that
material witnesses for the defence would not
be permitted to appear in Canada. there can
hardly be much difficulty in the Government
acceding to President Johnson's expressed
wishes in this matter. That there Ia a deep
sympathy in this country for the unfortunate
men there can be no doubt, not alone among
the Fenians, but among all classes. The
general opinion seems 10 be that the Canadian
raid Is past political event and that every
thing connected with it should be forgotten
The Fenians had grand gathering in Jones'
Wood on Sunday to hear the last speech and
declaration in America Of the chief organizer
Stephens, and IL occurs to US that they were
was said about the case OF the condemned
men in Toronto, and that little was forced from
the speaker by an outside call but the British
government were duly notified Of tho time
when Mr.. Stephens was going to attack them
in Ireland with an army Of two hundred thou
sand men, 80 that they can be prepared for
him. The first Of January Is the limit affixed
to the declaration Of war and the beginning Of
the bloody contest II Stephens is in earnest
he has taken very bad steps TO insure success
by warning the enemy Of his intentions; but
the fact Of thus openly exposing his plans
proves the insincerity or the foolishness OF the
designer and insurss the failure Of any attempt
thus heralded.
The best chief organizer for Ireland just now
Is John Bright, who Is combining all the op-
pressed classes in the three kingdoms for
great radical remedy Of grievances, including
that curse Of Ireland, the tenant right system.
He has not attacked the Fenians. neither has
be sought them. II that element Is ~ ssrous

nigh crimes and misdemeanors" But what Il
the case made out against President johnson
By General Ben Butleri First, that Andrew
johnson has been guilty Of the "attempt to
bring Congress into public hatred. ridicule
and contempt" We presume this has reference
to some OF the unfortunate speeches delivered
by Mr.. johnson in his late unlucky pilgrimage
to the shrine Of Senator Douglas at Chicago;
but there Ia some palliation for those speeches
In the provocations Of certain radical leaders
and stumpers levelled at President johnson.
They rallied at him, and he paid them in their
own coin, only he forgot to discriminate
between Congress and its railing radicals.
Buffers second charge OF "wrongfully using
the power Of appointment" amounts to moth
ing. In this business Mr.. Johnson, wisely or
unwisely, has only followed the examples Of
his predecessors from the time Of General
jackson. The third charge, that he was guilty
Of high crime or misdemeanor in declaring
peace in the insurgent States without the con-
sent Of Congress-" is simply absurd, as is the
fourth, in regard to the exercise of the pardon
ing power. The fifth, "for failing to enforce
the Civil Rights BILL" remains to be proved,
and the sixth, "for completely in the New
Orleans riot" is not sustained by the facts II
as good, it is no better than Mr.. Johnson's
charge against the radicals Of Congress that
they melted the New Orleans riot; and this
brings us to the end Of the budget of Butler.
Upon these charges or something like them,
we expect the attempt will be made to i'm
peach the President at the coming session Of
Congress. We undertake to say, however,
that no bill Of impeachment will pass the
House, and that if put to the test it will hardly
receive more than forty or fifty votes or the
strength Of the extreme radical faction. On
the other hand, we deem it highly probable
that the effect Of the impending November
elections will be to bring the conservative re-
publicans OF Congress and the Executive into
that happy accord which will put an end to
this impeachment scheme Of the Jacobins and
bring the outlying Southern States to wise
acceptance Of the constitutional amendment
As the controversy stands between the Presi-
dent and Congress it affords no facts or overt
acts for an impeachment, and in what Mr..
johnson may do lies the alternative, not only
of two-thirds majority against him in each
house to the end Of his term of Office, but that
other and saving alternative Of balance Of
power in his favor with the restoration of the
South on the basis of the constitutional amend
ment.

THR Two RIN0B--A QUESTION OF FAB PLAHsr-
Mayor Hoffman's organs are many Of them
actively opposing the election Of Mr.. John
Morrissey, the Tammany nominee for Congress
in the Fifth district. The Corporation "ring"
shows every disposition to back ont Of its bar
gain with the prize ring, and, disregardihg
very old adage, refuses to acknowledge its OBJ
legations Of honor to its own friends. This b
not fair play, and is inconsistent with the rules
of the prize ring. however much it may be in
accordance with the practice Of the Corpora
ton ring. The latter could not have secured
Mr.. Hofman's nomination without the active
and vigorous aid Of Mr.. John Morrissey, and
has moreover been ready enough to use Mr..
John Morrissey's money to aid in electing their
nominees. Instead Of allowing his organs 10
oppose MIR. Morrissey, Mr. Hoffman ought 10
make few speeches in favor OF his election,
Mr.. Morrissey would have fought to secure Mr..
Hoffman's nomination. and Mr.. Hoffman ought
in return to speak for Mr.. Morrissey and NOT
sslfshly do al his stump talking for himself
Besides there is no good reason why Mr.. HofE
mans friends should oppose Mr.. Morrissey
Mr.. Morrissey would decide a. accurately - .
Congressman on the different questions that
may arise ss would Mr.. Hoffman as Governoa
ofthe State. However, it is quarrel between
the two rings, and they must ightit out among
themselves. Our only interest ~ outsiders is
to hold the parties up to their bargain and to
see fair play.

in Ireland a. il Is represented, Mr.. Bright wiH
6nd in it large auxiliary force-that il, pro-
vided that the organization be guided By
wiser counsels than those which Stephens
offers to the excited thousands in this country,
who periodically and honestly applaud bis
sentiments while they are ignorant Of and
have not measured his capacity to realize
them. Mr.. Stephens says that il the people
in America knew all that he was doing and
going to do their newspapers would not write
as they do about Fenianism. Are we not as
well entitled to know what he is doing as the
British government Would it not rather be
good policy to communicate information to
those who are disposed to be his friends than
to publish it to bis avowed enemies? From the
speech Of Mr. Stephens at Jones' Wood on
Sunday it is evident that he does not believe
In that kind Of policy. @

does not require . prophetic vision to see
that in few years Broadway, from the Battery
to Union square, win be devoted exclusively to
the Wholesale business
Now, while these improvements are going on,
il the time to erect hre-proof buildings, in
stead Of the gingerbread work too frequently
put up from motives of avarice or short-sighted
economy. To those who have the destiny Of
he upper half Of Broadway in their hands we
would say, make 1t point to erect your stores
in such manner that they will stand an ordi-
nary amount of heat without crumbling to
pieces build heavier walls than those gene
rally used In the construction Of tenement
houses, and don't forget that iron stairwsys
are quite a preventive against the spread Of
IRE from one floor to another. In short, make
your buildings as substantial as you can--hre-
proof if possible-and you will never have
causeto regret the additional expense.
