holders.
The Park Bank corporation is showing tie
power O. wealth In our metropolis. To the
glory Of The directors, they are erecting enc
marble monument 10 financial greatness.
Doubtless The names of the directors will be
cut upon block, and this, prominent upon the
front OF the building, will preserve their men,
ory from oblivion while the letters last. Sue
cccding generations win look upon the edifice
and praise the generosity of the stockholders
who have so freely contributed their funds to
80 laudable purpose.
Here We have, in fact, great bank which
runs lis front into the public street, obstructing
the main thoroughiare where il is always the
most crowded. II one-armed veteran, who
fought for a miserable pittance to preserve the
life Of the nation and the property Of these
finance lords, asks for room to stand In, that
he may sell some little article that will keep
him from starving, no is rudely thrust aside.
This is what we call justice-liberty We
recommend tho stockholders Of the Park Bank
10 mako ample appropriations for their casket,
for they can then admire their imposing front,
the pr election into Broadway, and the names
Of the directors conspicuously carved. Thus
they may declare an extra dividend Of beauty
instead OF an extra dividend Of cash.

Tho Immediate Necessity for Paving Madt.
auu Ayauue.

Tho Immediate Necessity for Paving NIadt-
son Avenue.
For months past large building operations
have been carried on in Fifth avenue-opera-
tons which were necessitated by the gradual
spread Of tae city towards the Park-the effect
of which has resulted in gradually blocking
up the roadway OF that large and handsome
thoroughfare Vehicles have been compelled
in their progress, after getting above Fortieth
street, to proceed in single Ale, on account of
the buildings and building materials which jut
out into the roadway and ill up all the inter-
mediate space. There is no need, however,
that these hindrances in Fifth avenue should
seriously interfere with public locomotion.
Immediately adjoining and running parallel
to the former thoroughfare is the wide
vista Of Madison avenue, which, by a
has been opened up from Forty-ninth
street to the region adjacent to the Park.
Why, therefore, should not this thorough re
be made available to relieve Fifth avenue !?
The only thing wanting is the paving OF Maji-
son avenue, which has been neglected for some
time, owing to the dilatory Why's OF the city
authorities. There is snch stoppage to transit,
such Inconvenience to the general public
through lhs blocking up OF the Fifth avenue
boulevard, that we unhesitatngly recommend
thas Madison avenue be Immediately paved
and opened for general trliiic Let the author
tiles put aside their quarrel az to the relative
merits Of the Belgian, the Nicholson or any
other pavement, and put the street at once in
condition for travel, no matter what system OF
pavement is employed. In fact the new tho
roughfaIe affords them an opportunity of test
ing one or more of these rival pavements
without delay, and to the great advantage Of
the public.

The Disturbance In Itnly-What Will Be-
OF the POpeS

The Disturbance In Ifaly-What Will Be-
come OF the Popee
The movements in Italy are beyond all police
power. Movem nts of the people originating
in o sentiment common to every man and
boy-a sentiment ready to flame into enthu-
siastic and universal cxpression-can only be
controlled by large masses Of soldlery. And
whence are these to comet The Pope has none
of his own that are worth mention. None can
come from the kingdom Of Italy; for though
the King Of Italy arrested Garibaldi, it was
only because Garibaldi was violating Italian
neutrality. With trouble in the Popes own
territory Victor Emanuel has nothing to do.
And even if he desired to interfere he dare not /;
for il is moro than probable that any attempt
on his part to save the Pope would only
involve his own rule in the Pope's ruin. Can
troops to save the Pope's temporal power
come again from France? 1t is next to GER
tain that Napoleon can only save the Pope
at the expense Of his own throne for an
imperial war against the Roman people would
be moral Mexico, and, what is more, would
be Prussa's opportunity. When the Chassepot
rifle is seen on the Iber the needle gun will be
seen south Of the Main. And this is the pos.
sibility that may keep France away. Left to
the mercies Of his subjects, the Popes reign
will be but short He will have to accept
the century and the ideas against which he
Issued his encyclcal letter, or he will have
to leave Where will he got What will
become of the head of the Holy Catholic
Church? Only two lands can afford HIM
an ACQUAINTANCE and the United States
He may go to France and be re-estab-
lshed at Avignon, and thus furnish Napoleon
chance to attempt, with variations the part Of
Charlemaene in the endeavor to reshape Euro
pom politics, with the Pope as a moral centre
OF all systems. He may come to the United
States, where his followers and adherenls are
more respectable, powerful and wealthy than
in any country in Europe. We have hitherto
profferei h m home ut Fort Washington, and
we renew the Offer. His Holiness will not fad
there as fine palace as that at Avignon but
he may here enjoy finer scenery tban can be
found in the length and breadth Of France, and

Tho Newspaper Press aud the Whiskcy

There seems to be mysterious connection
between the whskey frauds and certain repre-
sentatives of the newspaper press. 1t is said
that the National Iatelligencer depends entirely
on this mysterious connection for it's support
From the fact that the Tribune was the chief
endorser of Callicott we know very well that 1t
must also have had finger in the pie. Thus
two journals, as opposite as the poles, the one
a pro-Johnson organ, the other an anti-John-
son organ, meet as extremes proverbially meet,
and both derive inspiration from the same
source

Tho UnimpOrtance Of tho Present State
Election.

Tho Unimportance Of tho Present State
Election.
Our conservative republican contemporary.
the Times, declares that the issue involved in
the present election in the State Is the ques-
ton OF the reconstruction of the South. If the
Times is correct, then we are only voting over
again on the same issue on which we voted
last year. The people then, with remarkably
unanimous voice in every State, endorsed and
confirmed the basis of settlement embraced in
the constitutional amendment, and returned to
Congress a sufficient majority of the professed
supporters Of that amendment to ensure the
immediate reconstruction of the South under
its provisions. Since the fall election Of 1866,
however, the radicals in Congress have disre-
garded the decision of tho people, abandoned
the principles laid down in tho constitutional
amendment, and launched out again into an
open sea without chart or compass They have
passed so-called reconstruction law, in which,
as one of their own organs declares they try
to circumvent God" But it is law which
only increases the former confusion and disor
ganization by revolutionizing the government,
virtually abolishing the executive department,
and establishing in place of our existing consti-
tutional system, in one event military des-
potism, and, in the other, negro supremacy.
Under the legislation by which they have over
thrown the constitutional amendment there is
no escape from one or the other Of these two
results.
The Times is well aware Of these facts, and
occasionally admits that the radicals have
abused the power entrusted to their hands
and plunged the country unnecessarily into
renewed trouble and confusion. But it fails to
adhere consistently to this or any other
position, and hence affords no aid to those
rule. II, as it says, the issue in the approaching
election is reconstruction, 1t is only proof of
the utter failure of the republican party to
carry out the previously expressed will OF the
people. But the truth is, the present election
is merely fight between copperheads and
radicals for few paltry Slate Offices; and,
whatever may be the result Of the scramble, it
will have no manner Of effect upon the real
issues Of the day. When it is over, however
it may terminate, then will commence the great
Independent cons i.utional movement, which,
in the Presidential election of next year, will
spread over the whole country, carrying Grant
and Sheridan into power, and sweeping the
small, scrambling factions who are now fighting
over a handful OF insignificant offices, into
eternity.
