municipal affairs Judge Connolly and the
other police justices would be as quiet, as
calm, as equitable in the discharge Of their
judicial functions as anybody at this side Of
the throne Of Rhadamanthus on the Pandects
of Justinian, and Mr. Kennedy would be as
scrupulously legal and well behaved in his
conduct as he is now fussy and foolishly
demons Erative. Under such control both
police officers and police judges would have
to keep on the straight path Of justice and
common sense, whereas now they are left to
the guidance of their own vagaries, with just
such results as we observe in this conflict OF
authority between Connolly and Kennedy.

military Movement. in Mexico.

The news from Mexico published in the
HEEAID yesterday shows that tho imperialist
and republican forces have approached each
other or come in conflict on the great interior
liue Of communication between Darsngo and
the city of Mexico. The accounts are conflict
ing, as usual, but we think we can, by the aid OF
our Durango correspondence, understand the
situation sufficiently well to state the prooabili-
ties of the case. One account, by the way OF
New Orleans, states that gentleman who left
Monterey on the 9Th instant brought information
that the bells were rim -ing and that there was
great joy in that city in Consequence of vic
tory the liberals had gained over the impe-
rialists under Miramon, near Aguas Calientes
The sam. news had been received Officially at
Ml,amoros. On the other hanl a despatch
rom Galveston, with dates from the Rio
GnnIc up to The 7th instant, states that while
rejoicings were going on in Zlcatecas in honor
of Juarez, Miramon suddenly appeared with
two thousand troops, which caused Juarcz to
fee from The city anl Miramo1 to take pos
reported that Jalrez had been captured.
Looking at this mi ldlcd and conflicting news
from an impartial standpoint W. think there
has been conAic. OF arms on the line mcn-
toned. We must wait for the next news TO
know whether or not Juarez was captured and
which party was successful.
According to our correspondence referred to
Miramon was at Qlsretaro, defen ling the line
of communication to the city of Mexico against
the liberals. Juarez was marching his forces
on the same line with a view OF reaching an |
capturing that capital; but Miramon standing
in his way at Queretaro, he ordered general
movcm m against the imperial general at that
place. Escobedo was ordered to march from
San Luis Potosi on Qaere.aro. Another chief
had been ordered fr,m Z,catecas and one also
from Gnadalsjara to the sam, objective point.
II is id that Mirlmon, in this predicam m,
resolved not - fall b ,ck OF or in tho direction
Of the city Of Mexico, bat ie advance upon the
liberals and surprise and fight them in desa;E
II he has gained tbs victory reported, II has
been done this WY. If he has taken Zacatecas
he has done 80 by a,nk movement by tho
way Of Agias C,lienses. But then the question
arises how did he get past the liberal force at
Guadalajaras Besiles, wou'd he dare TO move
30 far from the capital, which was his base, and
leave the liberals between himself and that
ci.yi There has probably been an engagement
on the line referred to, nnl Mircmon may have
had temporary success; but we are still in
doubt as to the nature of the movement and
the result. -. --a--.

Our special cable dispatches from England
this morning are of unusual interest and full
Of significance. Steadily and surely the great
reform movement presses forward, and in its
progress develops more and more the rcv0lu-
tionary spirit that mixes with it and threatens
in the end not only to demand voice in the
government to those who are at present denied
the rights Of freemcn, buL to sweep away the
class whose feet have so long pressed heavily
pondent sends us o graphic account OF the
great reform procession in London on the l1th
instant, which has already been briefly men,
toned in our former cable dispatches. As
demonstration Of the power and determina-
ton Of the people it was striking aud inn
prcssive The military training Of the men, the
inscriptions on the banners, the snllen silence
with which the immense crowd recognizei and
passed the once popular princes Of the blood
royal, the cheers end salute which were given
as they filed past the American embassy, can
have but one meaning. Tweny THOUSAND ear
nest men were in the procession and hundreds
of thousands on the Inc of march, all evi-
IDENTIFY in sympathy with the objects of the
demonstration. The flags of France, Italy and
the United States were carried in the ranks.
and these and the banners evinced the disposi-
lion Of the reform RS 10 court the fellowship
Of all the clemens, not of progress only, but
of revolution. Among the inscr ptions were
the following 3" Disohedence to tyrants is
duty to God;" "Put your trust in God, but
keep your powder dry" Liberty to those
who dare demand it." The Fcnian element
was evidently mixed up and in harmony with
tho movement.
The same evening there was scene Of in
tense excitement in The House OF Commons, the
details of which show how deep an impression
tho proceedings Of the day had made on tho
minds Of the aristocracy, and illustrate The
prevailing alarm, which any outbreak would
swell into panic. The House was crowded
10 hear the specch Of Disraei in relation to the
resolutions designed TO be offered by the gov
crnmcnt on the 10th instant to test the sense
of the Commons on the subject of reform.
During tho session a report reached the House
that Chester, an important garrison town near
Liverpool, and at NO great distance from Mn
chester, hal beon surprised and captared by
The FonianA The Duke II Cambridge, the
Commanaerin-chicf OF tho Army, who was
present posted oG 10 the Horse Gunrds, and all
was DISNEY and confusion. Tho alarm was In
> measure mnecessary for while there appears
TO have bccn demonstration at Chester, no
actual outbreak took place. The fact that
there WIS gathering Of hostile character
therc simultaneously with the reform process
sion is, however, of much significance. The
clouds are gathering thick and fas. over the
old aristocracy of England, and the storm may
burst forthat any moment.

Our city Railroads and Their management.

We publish to-day curioIs and interesting
history of our city railroads, which affords
some insight into the way in which those money
making corporations are managed. II will be-
good chapter for our country legislators to
study now that they are asked to vote away
another batch of valuable franchises to the
hangers-on of the lobby. The city railroads
have been rich placer in the hands of tho
spectators at Albany, and they have worked
1t indefatigably for number of years. How
it is done is shown in the report The Assem-
blymen from therural districts, who are living
on three dollars day ct Inc State capital,
little dream Of .hc large fortunes made by the
lobby out of these railroad charters. The
Third Avenue road one year divided eighty
four per cent among the ph.lanthropic gentle
men who managed 10 secure that " little local
bill" Half million dollars of its stock il
rumo-ed to have been given away for nothing.
II pays a very heavy dividend steadily, and
probably no one really knows the extent Of its
profits. All the roads have been converted
into jobs, and it is well known tha. one-haH
the stock has to be given away before char
ter that is of any value can be secured. Yet
the public are put to every annoyance and
Inconvenience conceivable on nearly oil the
lines. An insufficient number Of cars are run,
and not one-third Of tho people who ride q

Dl.r.clv. New Reform Plans.

Our most recent intelligence from England
jnssiies the verdict which we had already pro-
nsunced on the great tory leader. Toe wise
commit the government to particular mea-
sure, Disraeli has decided upon middle course
which Is admirably suited to the exigencies of
the occasion. The plan according to which he
means TO arrive at q settlement OF the question
will take the form o. resolution. The initial
commits itself in any way, even in the shape Of
suggestions will be to take tho sense Of the
House as TO whether reform is or IL not neces-
sary. In the event of the House deciding in
favor Of immediate reform, which it may be
taken for granted Il will do, resolutions will
the government not pl,dging itself to stand or
fill by their rejection or acceptance. There
can be no doubt that this is the most sensible
course which could possibly be adopted in the
circumstances. A more perfect reform may in
this way be carried than could have been se-
this advantage besides it will put the leaders
Of the great liberal party ON their good beha-
vior. The people will have IN opportunity of
judging whether they prize NOR, the posses
sion Of power and the emolumcnts Of office
or the settlement Of reform. Mr.. Gladstone is
TOO honest man to offer factious opposition,
but he will watch with jealous care Mr..
Disraeli's every movement Az matters now
stand Disraeli must be credited with the honor
Of having outHanked his opponents, and we
shall not be surprised If he. conduct this
vcxed question to satisfactory issue.

We publish in another column the decision
of the Supreme Court Of the District of Colum-
bia in the case Of Colonel A. B. Magruier, who
had applied for admission to the bar without
taking the test oath on the ground that the oath.
SO far as attorneys were concerned, had been
declared unconstitutional by the United States
Supreme Court. II will be remembered that
the latter decision was carried by only ma
jority of one, the minority being of opinion
that the rule should be maintained. We were
OF the opinion at the time, and so expressed
ourselves, that the question was not within tho
province Of the court to decide absolutely. u
will be seen by the Judgment rendered By
the Supreme Court Of the District Of Cslunbis
that this view is fully borne ous by it Judge
Carter in his decision says that the question ,
one for legislation and not for legal adjndica-
ton. 1t is SO involved in political controversy
that 1t must be referred TO the political power

favorably bv the Railroad Committee OF the
Assembly, and we are told that there Is pros
pect of the passage Of the bill. The plan con.
templates the running Of three roads through
the blocks, in straight line from The Battery
to tho Park, between Broadway and the next
parallel street on the west side; one under
ground or through the cellars one on the sur
face, as in vescy street, and one on the first
floor, crossing the streets on bridges The plan
is absurd upon its face. II would cost more to
buy the property than half dozen roads could
pay for. II would injure the adjoining houses
in every street through which II passed. Iujunc-
tons would be piled upon 1t so high that It
would take o hundred locomotives TO drag II
out from under them. The truth Is that all
those plans are chimerical. The three tier,
the aerial and, above all, or below all, the un-
derrround humbug, should be kicked out
together by the Legislature, and provision
made for building eight or ten roads upon
arches, through the blocks and over the houses.
This system OF city railroads prevails in Eu-
rope and answers admirably. 1t Is just what
New York needs and is the only feasible
method Of relieving the overcrowded streets.
Nothing but lobby intrigue and jobbing
stand in its way, and this the people UNDER
stand.
