The city politicians are all in terrible
duster and furry over the Developments of the
last few days, and can do nothing but drink
bad whiskey and swear '1ike our army in
Flanders" from morning till night Every
body Is asking if the magnificent rascal with
the white mustache is actually going to enter
the field as a candidate for Mayor, as he did in
1859, when he carried the city and bea. Tam
many out OF sight. Well, we do not know
whether we are to have the magnificent rascal
in the field or not; but we do know that three
little rascais-Hofman, Sweeney and Tweed
are already in the ring, and insist upon re-
naming there until the fight is over These
managed to run up the city taxes to nearly
three times the amount at which they stood
under the administration of the magnificent
rascal, Fernando Wood and as between the
two evils, we think it might be preferable to
take the magnifco, with his nine millions ex-
penditure, than his three pupils, with their
twenty-four millions.
But still a new and original question arises,
whether it would not be better to get rid of
the whole batch together-magnifcen rascal
with white mustache and small rascals with
black mustaehes-and fill their places with q
different class of men. We put it to all
ciiques, factions and organizations who have
broken off from Tammany, whether they had
not better combine for new deal all round,
aud by liberal and sensible course and good
nominations take with them the great masses
OF the people, who are sick alike of radical
oppression and Tammany treachery. In espe-
cial we ask the real, honest war democracy,
who did good service in subduing the rebellion,
and have since shown great local strength at
the polls whether it would not be well to
move in solid body for lew and honest can
ddates, and so get rid of the whole gang of
Corporation piotters and plunderers and de-
cayed politicians, with mustaches and without,
black, brown and white, once and forever.

ticular, on which the conclusions it may arrive

ticular, on which the conclusions it may arrive
at will be looked for with some anxiety; viz:
whether the condemned ritualistic observ-
ances are really innovations or not. Some
contend that not only are they alien to the
spirit of the Church Of England, but that they
are positively illegal. Others hold the opposite
opinion, maintaining that enthusiastically tie
practices in question are capable of the most
complete defense, and that legally they are per-
fectly unimpeachable The Commissioners Will
have q rather arduOus task to perform in de-
Gliding between these conflicting views; and In
the course of the inquiry great deal OF anti
quated law will doubtless be relieved OF the
superintendent dust of centuries; but we ven
ture to predict that after the Commission shall
have closed its labors opinions will still
differ as widely as they do at present. From
the tenor of the remarks made by the Earl OF
Derby, and other speakers, during the debate
in the House of Lords on THEFT inst, it is
evident that whatever the nature of the con-
illusions at which the Commission shall arrive,
whether favorable to the Rtualists or to the
opposite party, legislative action will assuredly
follow the termination OF its labOrs. The
denominations" to quote Lord Shaftesbury,
of which the Ritualist clergymen arc guilty
must be put down by the strong arm of Par
lament That seems to be a settled point.
What then, will the Ritualists dOq Will they
conform to the law stripping them of the OBJ
noxious vestments, and restraining their ardor
for ceremonial observances Or will they re-
sent the interference of the temporal powers
in matter of this kind, and either
pass over quietly into the bosom of the
Roman Catholic Church, or create a schsmatic
rupture in the Anglican Establishment Who
can tell but that the Church Of England will
yet be rent in twain by this battle about robes,
and candles, and crossesq But all this
confusion comes of union which has no
authority in Scripture, and no foundation in
reason; it comes of an unnatural alliance be-
tween politics and religion, between secular
power and ecclesiastical government. In this
country religion thrives without state support,
and churches regulate their affairs without the
aid of the magistrates sword. The English
people have yet to learn what religious free
dom means, from practical experience of its
power and its benefits. Perhaps the battle about
Ritualism will do for them enthusiastically what
the struggle for Parliamentary Reform prom
ises to accomplish politically

SOUTH AMERICA.

We are accustomed to hear of frequent pro-
nunciamentos of Disconnected generals against
the lawful execution iii nearly all the States OF
Latin America, but the use of force by the
President of a republic against the members of
Congress has thus far been of rare occurrence.
In the United States of Colombia such a law
less act has for some time been ex-
pected, and according to the advices received
yesterday, it has now taken place. Both
Houses Of the Colombian Congress having re-
monstrated against the unconstitutional course
of President Mosquera, the latter, on the Goth
of April, issued a decree prOnouncing the sit
tings of the National Congress closed, declar-
ing the nation in state of war, and investing
himself with the absolute power of Dictator
Thus comes to an ignominious end the long
political career of a statesman who, in former
years, was looked upon as one of the foremost
champions of Liberal principles in Latin
America. In the battle on religious liberation,
which is still being fought in every South
American State between the Church party and
the Liberals, but few public men have dared
to take 30 bold a position as Mosquera. Now
lie has not only fallen out with his party but
he has proposed an alliance to his lifelong
opponents, the conservative Church party.
There were indications, at the date of our last
advices, that the people would not everywhere
submit to these usurpations, but rise for the
defense of the Constitution and against their
despotic President
The Government of Chill has published the
diplomatic correspondence between Chill and
the Powers proposing mediation in the Span

AS the Convention which is to revise the
Constitution Of our State assemblies tomorrow
noon at Albany, we present herewith suggestions
for new Constitution by DAVID DUDLEY
FIELD of our City. We think those who care
fully pemse them will find therein reasons for
our formerly expressed desire that Mr.. Field
should be q member of that Convention.
The feature of Mr.. Fields plan that will
command most attention is that which proposes
that any one shall be a Member Of Assembly
who receives twenty hundred votes there
for. We do not see how this provision can be
rendered practical If adopted, one person
might receive 100000 votes, and dozen persons
might receive nine-tenths of the votes of the
majority party in the State, leaving
seven-eighths Of the House to be chosen
by the political minority. In the
effort to avoid this, we suspect that political
committees would direct the voters of their re-
spectiv9 parties how to distribute their votes
so as to return as many members for their
side as possible and thus we should have the
matter very much as now, only worse. How
ever, we await explanations which may mako
