=
An attempt is being made to force through
the Common Council resolutions to pave .
number Of the streets Of New York with the
Nicholson pavement. This is one of the most
baretaced jobs of the day. The Nicholson
pavement is covered by patent, and the price
at which it is laid is greatly above its value
and higher than the cost Of many better pave
ments But ex-Assemblymen and lobbymen
and other spectators are said to hold the main
interest in the patent, and hence the favor it
meets at the hands Of the Common Council.
The most competent judges consider the
Nicholson pavement failure. The Croton
Aqueduct Board rejects it, and Chief Engineer
Craven considers that II would not last over
three years at most in any Of the city thorough
fares. The taxpayers ought not to be called
upon to pay an exorbitant price for an expert
ment In the face Of such authority. There are
enough pavements superior 10 the Nicholson
that can be laid down at little more than half
it, cost. The fact is, this job ID one of the
numerous speculations with which the Corpora
ton "rings" are endeavoring to provide
against stormy weather. The new constitu-
ton, II is to be hoped, will give ms govern
ment that will protect the citizens against
future schemes Of plumber, and, with the issues
raised BY the work Of the Convention Of Revi-
sion, will come such thorough political revo-
luton In this city that all the old corrupt ONCE
holders will be swept out Of sight Tsmmany
will 90 overheard in the November election,
and the political firm Of Hoffman, Sweeny and
Tweed will DO declared bankrupt The Com
mon Council and the various Corporation
rings" see the handwriting on the wall, and
hence their determination to plumber al they
can before justice overtakes them.

RRNTUCKY,

The Radicals have commenced bowling
for the blood Of Kentucky The action
of majority of the people of that State,
peacefully and lawfully manifested
through the ballot box last Saturday, is
displeasing to them, and her existence as
an equal and independent State, is to pay
the forfeit for her coEtumacy They
, admit that Kentucky did not secede but,
that like John Winkler's boy, she thinks
d-n it, and therefore needs reeonstruc-
ton after any style that Congress may
think adapted to the 'peculiarities OF her
case The Cincinnati Gazette opens the
bark in an elaborate article, and says
There is a radical wrong somewhere. If
the national government has the right to
subject Rebels to terms anywhere, it has
the right wherever they are. Discipline
for rebellion in one State, and privileges TO
Il in another. are unjustifabe 1t is a
mockery 10 call the state of things in Ken
lucky peace or 4 republican government.
Elections under that reign of Rebel power
and intimidation are farce. There is no
such thing as a free election possible in
Kentucky at the present time.
What is the remedy The same that We
have applied to the rebellion in the other
States, TO Just such an extent az may be ne
cessary. First, adequate military protec-
ton for persons and property, and all civil
rights against the oppression and denial Of
Justice BY the Rebel control Of the legal
powers. Second. the disqualification of
Rebels by act of Congress for sill national
and State Offices. Third, the enfranchise-
ment Of the blacks everywhere by act of
Congress. The necessity for this measure
to create a loyal voting people is as great
in Kentucky as in any other Rebel State.
Congress has the same power TO establish
the franchise by direct act that il has to re-
quire the States to establish il rs a condi-
tion of restoration.
"There is a radical wrong somewhere,
says the Gazette. Yes, unfortunately for
this nation, almost everywhere the ac-
cursed thing is perpetrating wrongs.
Kentucky has been, in a measure ex-
empt but by the reassembling of Con-
gress next winter it will be ready to lay
its leprous hands upon Kentucky, Mary
land and Delaware. Its only hope to
hold power is by crushing every part Of
the nation into a shape to suit its
schemes. Any pretext win be used for
this purpose, and where none can be
found, it will be done without the delay
or trouble Of inventing che.

THE COMPETENCY or DR. FRAZIER.
The Senate makes slow progress with
the work for which it convened as a Court
of impeachment Instead Of trying Judge
Frazier on the articles Of impeachment
preferred by the House of Representa-
tiyes, the Senate seems to be trying DR..
Frazier, one of its members, upon sug-
gestion Of incOmpetency to sit as mem
Der Of the court on the ground of being a
brother of the Judge This very ques~
ton came up at the organization of the
court. on the ] lth Of March. The fol~
lowing occurs in the report furnished us
by our legislative reporter ofthe proceed
ings at the organization of the Senate as
a Court OF impeachment
90 Mr.. Smith, of Hardemsn, suggested
that. in view of the fact that one Of the
members ofthe court might be deemed OBJ
iectionable on account Of his relation 10 the
defendant, Judge Frazier, would It not be
advisable that the Senator should Withdraw
from being one of the court. Senator
Frazier is brother to the Judge.
"Mr. Senter said that Senator Frazier
had expressed willingness, before being
sworn in, not to take any part whatever in
the trial. But he (Senter) advised Mr.
Frazier to be sworn in, as his relationship
with the defendant would not, he thought
at all affect his standing as a member o.
| the court
{" Mr.. East remarked that the fact of the
Senator being brother of the defendant
did not at all disqualify him from partici-
pating in the trial as a member OF the
| Senate.
+" Mr.. Smith, of Hardeman, here with
drew his objections"
II thus appears that the question o
ineompeteney was mooted at the proper
time, and was subsequently, Withdrawn
by one of the managers This after
thought looks as if it were prompted by
some motive which had its origin in thGi
higher law which oyerrides the writer
law of the State; and the pertinaeity
with which il is pressed is well calcula
ted to give color and form to such sus
