finely. A few moro weeks Of fine weather
and the job will be completed. The msc>

Improvements Of this kind are just what is

Certain members of the Nicaraguan govern.
ment being " on the make, )" like certain Alder
men we know, have made nice arrangement
by which certain Helass Cousin has acquired
the exclusive right for the space of five years,
dating from the 1st Of June, 1867, of importing,
duty free, and Of selling foreign strong liquors
throughout the said republic. Nor is this all.
On the above mentioned day---Junc 1--all
foreign liquors that chance to be in the hands
of others within the limits Of the republic
must bo yielded up TO the said Helass Cousin
at a cost determined by expert arbiIrators
This truly is a pretty job. II beats New York
all to pieces. Have any Of our New York or
Brooklyn Aldermen or distillers finger in
the pies The requisite liquor certainly is
not wanting: nor do we think 1t would be al
all hurtful, either to their own pockets or to
the stomachs Of our citizens II the aforesaid
Aldermanic dstillers should make an arrange
ment with the said Helass Cousin 10 supply
him with the requisite cordial.

AI.iaile Phonetic Loh.

Mr.. Conness, Of -a'ifornia, introduced into
the United States Senate the other day bill,
which was referred TO the joint Committee on
the Library, providing that George r. Marsh.
Of Vermont; Richard Chevenix Trench, Of
England, and Charles A. Dana, OF New York,
be appointed board Of commissioners on
the phonetic system, TO report upon the prac-
ticability Of substituting the phonetic for the
Latin alphabet for common use in the United
States and Great Britain, the commissioners 10
receive Eve thousand dollars each on making
their report. Practically considered the CON-
mission might rs well be empowered to report
upon the expedioncy of introducing the Potia-
wottomie or Feejce language or the ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphics, as this phonetic sys-
TEN. There is nothing practical in this pro-
ject except the item of Eve thousand dollars
compensation to each commissioner but
when these phonetic gentlemen get their
money Il will be for something else than
phonetics. Photography, photography or
even TYPOGRAPHY, would stand better chance
in Congress than phonetics.

CIT, Railroad Encronchmenss.

Our city railroads have been allowed to
'run riot" so long with impunity that the cor
porations seem to consider the streets as thsir
own property, to tear up, blockade or obstruct
as they see fit They are now using the public
roads at different points up town and down
town as their tcrmini as if they had clear title
to them and as if the citizens had no right or
interest in them whatever. They erect houses
for their starters, lay down switches and turn
outs enough to render the streets impossible,
and stop their cars there, ten or twelve at a
time, SO as to entirely put stop to all other
business. This is the case in Barclay, Vesey
and Ann streets, Park row aud Broadway, down
town, and at several spots up town. The
nuisance and trespass ought to be stopped at
once by the proper city authorities or the
police, and the rich railroad corporations
ought to be compelled to purchase property at
their termini and build sufficient depots. They
have no right whatsoever to blockade the
streets and deprive the public of their use.
Unless some steps are taken forthwith by the
authorities to prevent continuance of an out
rage that has been too long put up with
patiently by the people, an injunction win be
applied for in the courts and the matter
brought to test in that way. But citizens and
taxpayers should not be thus driven to the
necessity OF defending their own rights when
they have an extravagantly paid police force
and host of city officials whose duty it is to
protect them.

Since the passage of the Bankrupt bill
vigorous efforts have been made in Congress
by certain parties who are deeply interested
politically in the preservation Of the banking
system which will remain in lasting connection
with the name Of Mr.. Chase, now Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, to postpone the date
at which the bill should come into force. AS
the Bankrupt bill will have the certain effect
of robbing the national banks of Their absurd
and much abused privileges and of placing the
directors on the same footing financially as
private individuals, il is not difficult to UNDER
stand tho meaning of this conduct We are
glad, however, to see that the efforts Of these
schemers have been defeated, and that the bill
will 60 into practical operation on the Lot Of
June next.

Tho Proposed International Rowing Regatta.
An effort is being made to dampen the ardor
of some Of our college students and graduates
who take an interest and feel pride in plying
the oar. II is proposed on the part Of these
young men TO have this country repre-
sented in the University regatta on the river
Seine at the Paris Exhibition, and they
claim that with proper training they can com
pete, with at least an ordinary prospect Of
success, with The famous crews of Oxford and
Cambridge, and if they are allowed to enter
the races and row their boats in The same
manner as they do in this country we
shall entertain no fears in regard t6 the
result The boats of England and France
invariably carry q coxswain, which our
oarsmeh contend is an unnecessary ap-
pendags and dead weight of seldom less
than on hundred pounds. Our amateurs have
skilled themselves to such degree in guiding
their own boat as to render quite unnecessary
the sertices of coxswain, and in this respect
they wnld have q large advantage over the
European oarsmen.
The csntest in which Hamill, of Pittsburg,
was engaged on the Thames and Tyne is
pointedto as IN evidence that our young men
are not as proficient at the oar as our trans
atlantic cousins, and that they have not yet
reached the standard of the English watermen.
We do lot regard this as reasonable argument
To use the mildcst language of some Of Mr..
Hamillb friends, when speaking of that
match, here is, they say, mystery about It
which hey cannot understand, and which rem
dercd the result quite unsatisfactory /; and the
time which was made in the race gives color
to their srpicions.
We are decidedly in favor Of our college
amateurs trying their skill and muscle with
the rower OF the English and French universi-
ties, and ve hope that all proper encourage
ment will be extended to them. They do not
propose, y the Seventh regiment of this city
did, whei they contemplated visit to Paris,
to tax Slr citizens TO the extent Of hum
dreds odthousands Of dollars, but they an
nouncc Themselves as willing to devote the
neccssarJtime to training, and only ask the
modest stn Of about eight thousand dollars to
defray tftr expenses. Let them have it.

First Session of the Fortie.h Congress.

This session. which commenced on the 4th of
March and ended on the 30th, was q short ses-
sion Of twenty-six days. The only act Of any
consequence which it has left behind it on the
statute book is the "Act supplem sntary to the
act for the more efficient government of the
rebel States." providing the necessary machin-
cry and details for carrying the general law of
March 2 into effect. The main object Of this
late session was to head off President Johnson
from the advantages he otherwise would have
had in taking his own course upon Southern
reconstruction during the long recess of nine
months to December next Another object
was the Presidents impeachment, which in
the outset it was supposed would come up
among the first measures of the late session,
but which still hangs fire.
The two houses before adjourning adopted
a resolution to reassemble on the first Wednes-
day In July, and then, unless q quorum be
present in both houses, to adjourn over to the
regular first Monday in December Meantime
the House Judiciary Committee win continue
its impeachment investigation, and will proba-
bly, be ready to make report one way or the
other to the July meeting, and their report,
against or in favor of the President, we pre-
sumo, will very materially depend upon his
execution, in the interval, of these reconstruc-
ton laws Of Congress. We expect, from what
we have already seen, that these laws will be
SO 'faithfully executed" and that Southern
reconstruction and the general affairs of the
country will 20 on SO smoothly that the two
houses will meet in July only to adjourn over
to December.

Now that the idea of building up an addi-
tional and ruinous obstruction to all trade and
travel in the lower part Of Broadway by
placing the new Post Office at the south end of
the City Hall Park is virtually abandoned,
the people have become convinced that the
best location for the new Post ONCE building
is the old Five Points. A large amount Of
valuable space and property lies idle or
worse than idle at present IN the very heart Of
the business portion Of the city. The general
government should at once purchase sufficient
land in the neighborhood of the House Of In
dustry to build . fine square, with the Post
Once in the centre, and handsome stores,
wholesale and retail, on the four sides. The
Post Once should be 30 constructed as to con-
tain an inner courtyard, into which the mail
carts could be driven to load and unload,
leaving the outside streets unobstructed. II
this great Improvement should be made the
whole adjacent property would be rapidly
built up with first class business buildings
broad streets and avenues would be opened
through to the City Hall Park and up town to
Fourteenth street, and railroads would be laid
along them, to the Post Office, to the relief Of
Broadway and other thoroughfares. The rise
that would be certain to take place in the
value of the whole property in that now
neglected portion Of the city would be large
enough to repay the general government fol
all its outlay in the purchase of the ground
and the erection of the buildings. The Pos
Office Department should set about this bust
ness without delay and conclude bargain
that will be at once q great benefit e the city
and source of actual profit to the genera
government.

NEW YORK HERALD SUNDAY 81, ls67-TR1PLE SHEET

The Closlng scenes Of tho Empire In Mcxico.
The closing scenes of the imperial drama in
Mexico are about to be witnessed. According
to our Vera Cruz letter, which we publish
to-day, the imperialists hold the Castle Of San
Juan d'Ulloa and the liberals are investing the
city. We are daily expecting additional de-
tails OF the situation from correspondents OF
the HERALD who are now with Juarez, on the
one hand, and with Macmillan, on the other.
II is probable that, different - are their points
Of observation, our Correspondents will both
have to paint ere long the same gloomy picture
of imperial defeat. Our last dispatches left
Macmillan and his "grand army" of eight or
nine thousand men in . tight place. Hemmed
in at Queretaro by General Escobedo and
his fourteen thousand liberals, Maximilian is
reduced to q terrible alternative. With his
communications and supplies cut Of. either
he must be starved into surrender or, If he
ventures to encounter the superior force OF
Escobedo in the open field, he must try to cut
his way through to the sea at the risk Of his
life. Even if Juarez were more inclined to
treat with the Emperor himself than with Mar
quez, Miramon and the other Mexican chiefs
(whom be designates traitors) on the imperial
side, yet the Mexicans, who might intercept the
Emperor in his fight to the sea, are accus-
toned to summary processes for disposing Of
their foes in times of civil war. It is by no
means impossible that the violent death OF
Macmillan, the pride Of the House of Haps-
burg, may be the tragic end Of the empire in
Mexico. Should this prove to be the case it
would put the climax to series of humilia-
tions which the house has had to endure, and
would seriously affect It's future relations with
the Napoleonic dynasty.

The President. Private Bank Account,

Those who had reasonable fault 10 find with
President Johnson's courses and who would
not have been indisposed to see him impcached
are becoming disguised at the lengths to which
the radicals are carrying their hostility 10 him.
The investigation OF his banking account is
one Of those petty pieces Of malice which is
calculated to throw discredit upon the whole Of
the proceedings against him. As well might
his washerwoman's bill, his bakers bill or his
tailcr's bill, II he has one, be subjected to
scrutiny. We can only account for such follies
on the ground that our Congressional actors,
having played out the reconstruction drama.
are now disposed 10 wiud up with trosd

Tho Beard sf Health. the Legislature ana
Our City Markets.

Tho Beard sf Health the Legislature ana
Oar City Markets.
The Senate Health bill has been reported
upon by committee Of the Assembly, with an
amendment iorbidding the injury or destruction
Of the public markets or any interference with
them beyond what is necessary to regulate
their sanitary condition. We cannot conceive
why such an amendment should be made unless
the Assembly had in contemplation the action
OF the Constitutional Convention, which will
probably result in adopting broader measures
towards correcting al ". syiS q 8gE city
government and the management Of ths HAI1
kets among them. or all the evils under which
the city suffers, and all the nuisances Of which
it has Q just right to complain, our public mar
kets stand foremost As far as convenience to
the large population Of the metropolis is con-
cerned, a. well Is in sanitary point Of view.
they require radical reformation.
There can be no doubt of the fact that the
markets Of New York. in cleanliness, ornament
and facilities for comfort are quarter Of .
century behind the provincial cities. Indeed
they would be peremptorily removed as nui.
sances in any other city in the Union. Twenty
years ago the public markets of Philadelphia
were superior to the present markets Of New
York. In that city, as well as in Baltimore.
Cincinnati and other ciIes 2f the South and
West, to-day the markets are models OF Reas-
ness and accommodation which it is . pleasure
TO VISIT while no person respectfully dressed.
having a coat to spoil or skirt to de6le and
disfgure, can venture into our city markets.
It is evident, then, that instead Of restricting
the powers of the Board 81 Health they ought
TO be extended 70 the removal o. these
nuisances. Nothing but the most absolute
authority can accomplish this object. Before
the time of the present Napoleon the markets
Of Paris afforded fair parallel to those Of
New York. They were located in the dirties;
districts Of the capital, difficult df spprosch.
through narrow streets, and, as q necessity, in
the worst degree filthy in their condition. It
was only by the energy, almost despotic action
Of the Emperor, that reform was happily
brought about so that the markets of Paris
are now about the best in the world.
We conceive that one Of the most important
subjects that may come under the considera-
tion of the State Constitutional Convention
with regard to the better government Of this
city is the matter of public markets, and we
hope that they will not overlook 1t in their
deliberations on the new constitution.
