We print elsewhere card from Mr.. Demas Barnes
who seems to consider himself aggreved by our state
meut Of the fact that the Grand Jury had found q
bill Of indictment against him for bribery and corrup-
ton. On referring to our paragraph, we fail 10
discover any error of fact in it. The substance of
Mr.. Berness explanation is that other people have
been as unfortunate as he and his inference would be
that we ought to attack them rs well as him. But
attacked nobody; we stated facts, and we to-day
print Mr.. Barnes's defense Of himself, with some
regret that it is not more complete.

THE RELIEF OF BROADWAY.

The Committee Of the State Senate, appointed to
consider the various Broadway railroad projects, unan
imousy agreed yesterday TO report IN favor OF the
underground PLAN which contemplates the construc-
ton Of double track through tunnel under Broad
way, from the Battery to Park.row, and OF two
branches from that point to the Harlem River, one
running under Chathsp-s.., the BQwery snd the
Third-aveDue, ana tbs other under Hudson-st.. and
the Eighh and Nin.h.aves We are now, as We
always haze BEEN in favor Of this plan, so far as it
goes We must have cheap and qaick transit between
the upper and lower ends of the island. We must re-.
form radically the beasty modes Of conveyance qndJ
which we arc now suffering; and an underground rail-
way does very well for beginning But there IS
need Of an elevated railway also. The relief of Broad
way and the heth and comfort of citizens require
not only the construction Of a new avenue for way
passengers, but separate track for rapid through
travel and enlarged facilities for the transportation Of
merchandise To secure all this We shall want not
only the tunnel road, but an elevated tramway be-
side bill for the construction Of an underground
Broadway railroad passed the Assembly last Winter
but was defeated in the Senate, mainly it was under
STOOD in consequence Of the opinion of Mr.. Craven,
Chief Engineer Of the Croton Aqueduct Department
that the tunnel would interfere with the gas and water
pipes. As Mr. Craven is an advisory member Of the
present Committee we presume that the difficulty to
which he referred has been obyated as It certainly
MIGHT he ga ,.f ...s-

The House Of Representatives wasted no time yes
terday in debating the suffrage bill for the District OF
Columbia but with noble haste ordered the previous
question, and adopted the measure by vote Of ll3 to
46. Thus Congress has at last done its share in
removing disgrace from the Capital and transfers to
the President the present responsibility. If Mr.
johnson YetOes the bill-we suppose he will not
attempt 10 pocket tit will be useless effort to
battle the resolution OF the people. Manhood Suffrage
is virtually from this day established in the Capital,
and this grand act Of justice is but the Swelling
prologue to the imperial theme"-the forerunner of
absolute justice to all citizens in all the States.
