Terrible Cerruption Among tho PoliticiansS
For several days past the partisan journals
have been making terrible disclosures Of cor
ruption in the different political cliques and
factions 1--we were to Judge by their allegs-
tons there is no political honesty to be found
anywhere, and they certainly ought to know
all about the matter. It is pretty we'll es-
tablished fact that for years past the Legisla-
ture at Albany has been on sale for the sum Of
from Eve hundred to FIVE thousand dollars q
vote. We know that the same practice has
been in vogue in our Corporation. The ease
with which both lobbiss can be manipulated 10
well known. So shameless have they become
that they make boast of their
corruption, and the organs of both par
ties-democrats and rcpublicans-d0 not
hesitate to publish 1t. 1t has become noto-
rious that votes in Congress, in Albany and in
Harrisburg are on sale for any price that the
members can obtain, and yet each party is
perpetually crying out about their morality
and patriotism, as if they were the purest and
most patriotic of mortals. II is claimed, for
instance. that four millions Of slaves were
released from bondage solely upon religious
and moral principles, while the same party
that claims the merit of the act il stepped to
the lips in corruption.
In this era Of political corruption, as in those
historic epochs when revolutionary reaction
took . prominent place in the story Of
the age, great changes may be impending.
In the days Of the Roman hierarchy,
then in the zenith of its power, when
Pope Leo the Tenth, one Of the foremost
men of his time, was at the head Of the Church,
there came about . most remarkable reversion
Of the thea existing condition Of things, attribu-
table in great measure to the corruption
which had crept into the Church. While tho
republican and democratic politicians Of our
day seA their votes for five hundred or ave
thousand dollars each, according to their value
IN the market, history informs US that the heads
Of the Church in the sixteenth century sold
seats in the kingdom Of Heaven, when Tetzel.
with bis money box, went all over Europe, -
seats in theatre are sold In our time. This
practice 1t was, as history further states, which
led to q formidable revolution, known as the
Reformation. What revolution may OCCUR In
this country from the somewhat similar corrupt
practice Of selling votes tims only can tell

Tho Post Omce In the City Hall Park.


That there never was scheme devised more
detrimental to the interests Of the city than
the erection of Post ONCE in the City Hall
Park, public opinion is pretty generally agreed
upon. All the space in that locality which the
rapacity of the Corporation has still left open
as breathing place for the down town popu-
lation Is needed for the health and comfort Of
the people. In fact there is more breathing
room wanted there, and If any change at all is
to be made 1t should be by cutting down the
trees. which are neither ornamental nor use-
full, and converting the park into nne open
plaza, which, in addition to the facilities for
transit Of pedestrians between the eastern and
western sides Of the city, would afford an ex-
cellent parade ground for the numerous mill
tary displays which periodically form part of
our city shows and are the safety valves of
our exuberant patriotism.
We do not see the reason why this plot OF
land, which the Corporation proposes to sell
for q fifth Of its value, If It is to be encum-
bered at all, should not be turned to q
more profitable account and at the same
time relieve us from great nuisance--the
crowding of half dozen railroad termini on
the public streets in the vicinity Of the City
Hall. For example, On iron freproof shed
could be constructed there, say twenty feet
high, as general terminus and waiting room
for the different railroad lines which now se-
riously obstruct travel at that point This
would not only be q great accommodation TO
the public, because passengers could find COM
Portable shelter in bad weather and at night,
instead Of standing in the streets as they have
to do now, but 1t would bring q handsome
equivalent TO the City Treasury in the shape Of
rent from the railroad companies, which would
amount in few years to the sum for which
the Common Council now offers TO sell the
land to the general government Such dis
position Of the lower end Of the park would
be rational and popular. To devote II to the
purpose Of Post Office Is measure to which
the public is universally opposed, and in favor
Of which there has not been one reasonable
argument advanced, except that Of the quid
pro quo, Of which the Common Council we
presume, possess the best knowledge.

There appears to be something very healthy
In the influence Of impeachment Brandreth's
pills are regarded as very potent remedy for
the sight, both intellectual and physical. In
political life there is another pill equally po-
tential, and that is combined in the prescrip-
ton for the general impeachment Of everybody
holding public ONCE. This pill should be ex-
tensively advertised as grand panacea for
all political ills. II the ailments Of the body
politic can be cured at al 1t appears evident
that an impeachment pill is just the thing to
do it The threat to impeach President john
SON by the House of Representatives, although
1t was not carried out had very good effect,
and has resulted greatly to tho benefit Of the
country.
Some of the Southern papers let out the
secret that inasmuch as the radicals in Con-
gross were intent upon striking the arst blow
against . just and amicable reconstruction Of
the quondam rebel States, President johnson
was preparing to arrest the members Of Con-
gress and disperse that body, after the Cromwell
liam fashion. Perhaps the Hon. BOBBY Brooks,
In his Connecticut speech, had some Flint Of
that intention when he talked about filing the
railroad cars with . million of men to assist in
this dispensing Of Congress. Dismissing all
such small questions, however, 1t appears evil
dent that Mr.. johnson, with the threat Of i'm
peachment, like the sword Of Damocles, hang
ing over his head, has become most active in
executing the laws of Congress. We were pre-
pairing articles Of impeachment against Chief
Justice Chase for dereliction of duty in refus-
ing to try JEFF Davis, according to law, or re-
leasing him upon his parole, and for not car
rying out the provisions Of the Bankrupt law,
as prescribed by the act Of Congress. But we
are glad TO see that the Chief Justice is now
acting like man OF good sense in coming up
to the work and carrying the Bankrupt law
into operation. We hope that he will also be
prompt in settling the case Of JEFF Davis.
Thus in political life we observe that the pro-
cess Of impeachment is quite as potential in
its medicinal effects as Brandreth's pills or the
Phoenix bitters upon the human economy.

Photographic purposes it has been proved

that had been formed. That It will bring ~
immediate relief from the wretchsd system Of

and free US from the extortions Of the gas

invention Is reported to be 30 perfect and its
economical features have been so fully demon
strated that there will be little delay in intro
