THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

PENNSYLVANIA yesterday elected Judge Sliars-
wood TO her Supreme Bench by a small MAJOR
ity. This is as we apprehended, though not as
we wished. He is an able man, while his long
experience as a judge and his residence III
PHILADELPHIA gave him decided advantage
over his comparatively unknown competitor.
This triumph is personal. and rather in spite
of his thoroughly bad politics than because OF
them.
In the absence Of full returns, We presume
the Legislature to he Republican as usual.
There being no President, Governor nor Mem
bers Of Congress to choose, tae vote II com
parativeIy light.
In ONO the Republican State Ticket is
elected and the Free Suffrage Amendment
probably defeated. The vote a much lighter
than last year, and the Republicans autier by
the falling Off, as usual. UI.l
SO far as ne have returns, the Constitutional
Amendment runs steadily behind ohe R,pubI-
can candidates, but not far behind. We csti-
mate that 2Og,000 Republicans have voted for
it. while perhaps 10000 have voted against It.
1t is said to Be unpopular but is 10 more no
than Protestast Suffrage would le in country

The insurgents in the Papal States seem to
have achieved complete and an easy victory.
The Cable this morning informs us that the Gar
ibaldians are marching from all directions upon
Rome. No further resistance of the Papal
troops is mentioned, and it is not probable that
any further resistance will be attempted. The
organs of the Italian Government wish to rob
Garibald of the fruit of his victory, and urge
an immediate occupation by the National troops
of the City OF Rome. The weakness of the Pa
pal Government is so apparent that it seems to
have even modified the policy of Louis Napo-
leon, who is reported now to be ready to con-
sent to the immediate annexation of the Papal
Provinces to Italy, and to the annexation of
the City of Rome on the death of Plus IN.

HoFFafAN ON THE PURITANs3

We are not surprised TO find Mr.. Hoffman,
in the Democratic State Convention, ayailing
himself of the standard end ready resource OF
Democratic orators, and abusing the Puritans
without truth, without charity, without his
torical accuracy. land without common sense.
He would, we believe, have extended his satlr-
.ieal illusions to the Prophets, the Apostles
and the prOto-martyrs of Christianity had ne
not prudently considered that by so doing he
might injure the feelings of some of his Roman
Catholic associates. Mr. Hoffman knows best
whether or not the slander of honest and relig-
,ious men is likely to he agreeable to his
friendly and admiring auditors; but as he
claims we believe, to be q gentleman and
scholar. we think that he might have the
ciyiIty to abstain from sneering at a religious
body of which not one English historian of
merit, from Hume to Macaulay, has spoken
disrespectfully, and of which Hampden and
Milton were illustrious ornaments. Ii Mr..
Hoffman has no stomach for the religious side
of the Puritan's character, he might as a poif-
tician, have some respect for strong, practicai
sagacity which was not without some influence
in settling the foundations of this Republic
He does not seem to remember how much
" the Radical Puritan idea of goveriment,s
at which he SCOTS so profusely, had to do with
the Revolution to which we owe the blessing
of whatever is truly democratic in our public
affairs mol. to appreciate the kindly hospitality
which his Dutch ancestors (if they were Dntch)
extended to the earliest victims OF English
despotisB.
1t has been reserved for the modern con
temrers of the Puritan character, who at the
same time have been the apologists OF Human
Slavery, to revive that literal scriptralism
which led good and great men into many errors.
When Democrats have aseribcd the origin OF
Slavery to 70 direct commandment of God, and
to the ordination of the Old Testament, they
have, with all their hatred Of the Puritans,
merely initiated the fault Of their character
which is TIE most open TO censuRe. The Dem
ocratic party i'm this country literally lived for
several years upon The Mosaic law; and at one
time, we confess, that we thought tlie circun
aision of tie whole body probable. 1t i'll be-
comes those who have so closely copied the
Puritan vice Of strict Biblical construction thus
10. rail at the compensating Puritan virtues.

THE TRIAL, or IMPEACHMENT

The President has set up another scare
crow in the political field, SURPRISING IN ragged
Autter all previous efigies fr2D the same
ingenious hand. IL is now ST. that as a
nrecaution against Impeachment, hc has made
collection of speeches delivered by senators
in different parts of the country, ana upon inc
evidence of these he viii plead that his case
has been. prcjudged, and will decline 10 be
tried by those who have already expressed an
opinion. He claims also that the meanest
"cr;minal has the right to challenge his jurors y
Erqo, he has a right to challenge the Senate
and lie means, should occasion arise, to DO IL.
The finale will be like that OF Goldsmiths
club-meeting: "BoOd- observation-disclosures
"rat-trip-riot, nonsense and rapid confusion"
If the President knew anything about the
matter at all, he would know that while trial
upon Impeachment is, in certain loose sense
a judicial proceeding, it Is not and cannot, from
the nature of the case, be governed by the
rules of common legal practice. The Senate,
sitting as High Court of impeachment, Is not
a Petit jury. Senators are not only on oatn
but on honOr-they are the sole judges OF their
own qualifications; and that impeachment 10
not an ordinary legal process. is proved by the
provision of the Constitution which leaves the
President, after conviction, or rather removal
from Office, "still liable and subject to indlct-
" nent, trial, Judgment, and punishment, acI
"cording to law When Mr.. johnson gets
into a criminal court, he will then be at liberty
to plead that his judges have expressed an
opinion, or to challcpge jurors pcremptorlly or
for eause-not before!
"A The provisions of tie Constitution arr per-
fectly plain They are az follows;
''Tho HOUSE Of Representatives shah have the sole
aThe Senate shall have the.soe power 90 try Impcs~h
ments." l f.s-
1t will be seen at gfance that Che declara-
tion by Senator in favor of Impeachment ey
the House of Representatives, an independent
body, is 40 more a declaration OF the guIst
than of the innocence of ghc President. 1t ~
merely the statement of the Senator's opinion
that. whether guilty or innocent, the officaI
conduct of the President demands inpestiga-
ton. This she House initiates, and then, and
Bot till then, the trial begins The President,
with his usual geni,p for muditIing everything,
confounds Impeachment with Trial, and sends
messengers to the four points of the COMPASS
to procure evidence ef what nobody disputes.
Suppose Messr. Howard. Thayer Nye, Sumner,
and other SenitOs DO think that the Fres-
ideua sllonld be impeaclSed They cannot m-
peach him any more taan we csn-they Gan
only Cry him when he is impeached, and tiey
have ~ much right to- express their views'of
the duties of the House OF Representatives a.

Of the many projects for speedily and safely
conveying passengers between the extremes of
Manhattan Island, which we're before the Leg
islature last Winter, one only was authorized
the West Side and Yonkers Railway. An ex-
perimental half-mile was to be first laid in
Greenwich-st., and reported upon, before tho
corporatQrs could complete the line. Upon this
experimental portion work has been begun.
but Judge Cardozo, of injunction noto-
riety, has endeavored to keep his hand in
practice by granting an injunction against
the movements of the builders at an
important point. This is i'll face of the
last clause of Section II of the Legs-
