The Crisi. in Ensiand-The Good Sense Of

The Crisis in Enaland-The Good sense ci
the Queen.
In the House of Commons on Tuesday even
ing, as we learned from cable despatch of
yesterday, the reply Of the Queen to the ad-
dress voted to the Crown as the result of the
adoption of Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, was
read to the members in session. The reply,
which was worthy of the good sense and kindly
feeling which have all along characterized the
public and private conduct of her Majesty, was
as follows :-"Relying on the wisdom of the
House, her Majesty desires that her interest in
the temporalities of the Irish Church will not
in any way hinder parliamentary legislation on
that subject. In harmony with this decision
steps will be Immediately taken to suspend for
the present the making of additional or new
appointments in the Irish Church by the
Grown.
Considering the embarrassing situation of
affairs, the prompt and straightforward course
adopted by her Majesty is an immense relief to
the nation. Mr.. Gladstones resolutions and
Mr. Disraelis resistance, backed up as the
latter was by the foolish, unjustifable and
dangerous ''no Popery" cry, had placed
the Crown in the most awkward and
perilous position imaginable. The stu
pidity Of Charles the First, the vacilla-
ton of Louis the Sixteenth, or even the con-
scientious stubbornness of George the Third,
might have involved the Crown in misery and
ruin. Left as she is, without the adviser Of
her younger years, it says much for the good
sense and sound judgment of her Majesty that
she so thoroughly appreciates the situation.
The government of England has already fallen
so completely into the hands Of the popular
branch Of the legisature-at an early day it
will be more and more so-that resistance to
the House of Commons would be simply folly.
The Queen knows this, and it is only just
praise to say that by this one act she has extri-
Gated Great Britain from dangerous difficulty
and shown herself mistress of the situation.
If it was Mr.. Disraeli's intention, as many be-
lieve it was, to create a complication of cir
cumstances in which he might have the chance
Of playing the part either of Richelieu or a
Mirabeau, he has in this other instance mis-
calculated. His opportunity has not yet come.

CRITICAL STATE OF THE PARK COMMIs-
sIoNERs.-We understand our article yes
terday on 'Children's Amusements in the
Park" has created great sensation in all the
throughout the city. There is q terrible storm
of indignation rising against the Park Com
missioners for their opposition to the Marion
cites, Punches and Judies and other amuse-
ments in the Park. The mass meeting Of
three or four hundred thousand of young New
York which we proposed to call will certainly
be held, aided by the mammas and presided
over by Mr.. Henry Bergh, II the Commission
ers do not abandon their cruel opposition to
the wishes of the dear little folks.

The Resignation Of Engineer Craven.

Mr.. Craven, who for twenty years has been
the engineer of the Croton Board, has rendered
his resignation. During his long term of SER
vice Mr.. Craven has proved himself most
efficient officer The Croton Department has
been conducted with more honesty than any
other department of the city government, If
we except the Park Commission, which
shares with the Croton Board a fair repu-
tation, and hence the retirement of Mr..
Craven might be regarded as loss to the de-
partment If his successor, General Greene, did
not happen to be man of good qualifications
He is graduate of West Point, where he took
prominent position as an engineer in the
highest class. During the war he made his
mark on several battle fields, led brilliant
movement at Peach Orchard, was ridded and
maimed in many other actions, and altogether
presents fair soldiers record General
Greene has been duly installed in Office by the
Mayor, but Mayor Hoffman took occasion to
say that the installation" was unconstitutional
while meekly submitting to the decision Of the
Board. No doubt Mr.. Hoffman was sensitive
about the constitutionality Of the proceeding
but, nevertheless, we suppose that the public
will be satisfied that the place occupied by Mr..
Craven is filed by so competent person and
30 good an engineer as General Greene.

Lyman Truuabull, Of Illinois.

Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, enjoys ma
tiOnal reputation as sound, conserv ative
statesman, an able lawyer and an upright citi-
zen. He has filed several Offices of high
trust, and his record as public man is unim-
peachable. Among other positions to which
Mr.. Trumbull has been called is that of
Justice of the Supreme Court of his State.
He sat upon the bench for six years, and his
integrity Of character as we'll as his legal at
tainments rendered him an ornament to the
judiciary. Such man is peculiarly fitted to
see through the injustice and absurdty of the
charges of high crimes and misdemeanors
made by the radicals against President John
son, and he cannot afford to destroy his well
won reputation and to leave legacy of shame
to his son by recording a false and unjust ver-
dict against an innocent man for mere party
purposes. He has broad sense enough to see
that the fierce denunciations of the radical
conspiratOrs are powerless for evil against
good and conscientious man, and that when all
the present excitement has passed away, and
the malignant passions of the hour no longer
prevail the just Senator who has refused to
prostitute the character Of the highest court in
the nation to partisan hate and political ava
rice will receive the praise and respect of all
whose good opinions are of any real value.

William Pitt Fessenden, of Maine.

William Pitt Fessenden has the reputation
of sterling honesty, good sense and clear,
legal mind. II is no wonder that such man
should refuse to be controlled by the insolent
dctation of party when under oath to try a
cause fairly, and to render a true verdict ac-
cording to the evidence and the law. II
would be matter of surprise and shame to
find him yielding up his convictions to parti-
san violence and pronouncing the word
guilty against any living man when he knew
him to be mot guilty" Fessenden has been
many years in political life, and his sympa-
thies have been with such patriots as Clay,
Taylor and Lincoln, all of whom he helped to
nominate for the Presidency. Can he now
submit to be the mere tool Of party ruled
over by Ben Butler, Thad Stevens, Jem Nye,
Zach Chandler, and men Of that stamp2 Can
he become party to all the violent, brutal,
revolutionary policy of the Jacobins Of Con-
gress and give the lie to his whole past life
There is future for Fessenden, and his long
career has won him the confidence and respect
of good men. Will he now suffer himself to
be bullied and badgered into the destruction of
his well won reputation? We shall see.

senator Henderson aud the Missouri Raai-

Gals.
The sublime impudence of those Missouri
Congressman who waited upon Mr. Henderson
and presumed to call him to account for his
course on impeachment will by and by be
thought one OF the curiosites of the trial.
Since when were Congressman made the keep
ers of Senators, and by what principle of our
political system is Senator, who represents a
State collectively, responsible to Congressman,
who represent quite another thing? Perhaps
they know more about this in Missouri than
they do anywhere else The demand made
upon Mr.. Henderson was that if he could not
vote for conviction he should not vote at all, and
the members generously and magnifcently re-
Trained from pushing the Senator SO far as to
require his resignation. Mr.. Henderson had the
weakness to take this action quite as matter
of course. From a man who had the con-
science and the courage to declare that he
could not go with his party on the charges we
should have expected to hear of positive per-
ception of duty one way or the other. We
should have expected that the man who be-
lleved the articles unjust and evil would have
held that his duty was not neutral only, but
that things in the Senate which did not meet
his approval must encounter his opposition.
Commercial Rec;procities in Germany.
The activity of Count Bismarck has already
not only enlarged the boundaries of the Prus-
sian kingdom, but made Germany practical
unit. Baden, WGrtemburg and Bavaria have,
since Sadowa, been bound to Prussia by mill
tary treaty-a treaty which in the event of an
invasion of the Fatherland gives Prussia entire
control of their united armies. This, however,
is not the only or even the most important
result. Commercially, Germany has been
made one by the Zollverein. The Zoll Parlia-
ment, of which King William is chief, and
which is composed Of representatives not only
from all parts of the Prussian kingdom, but
from Baden, Bavaria and Wiirtemburg, is now
sitting in Berlin under the immediate eye of
Count Bismarck and his sovereign. Count
Bismarck does not force unity, but Count Bis
marck well knows that the cause he represents
must languish and die if it ceases to be active.
Austria, we are therefore told has been in
duced to enter into commercial relations with
the Zollverein. In commercial point of view
this is all we'll and fair enough. 1t will be
strange, however, if out of this does not arise
some trouble for Austria. Representation on
the part at least of the German provinces of
Austria will be the next question. Germany
is bound to become unit, and this means is
as likely to contribute to the desired end as
any other.

THR SECRETARY OF THE SENATE.-Thc Sec
retary Of the Senate resigns his lucrative
place. II is intimated that he does this for the
sake of independence, in order that he may be
free to express his opinions in regard to the
position of Senators. Astonishing piece Of
self-denial and delicacy on the part Of the
Secretary aud owner Of ''two papers-both
daily!" He resigns the place he holds as an
officer of the Senate that he may the more
energetically hound on the hunt against the
Senators of high and honorable character
Would il not have looked better if the Secre-
tary had resigned earlier and before II became
SO evident that he was to be hustled out2

nifty.
The impeachment hangs fire. On Tuesday
last, recoiling from the attack, in consequence
of the illness of one of their number, the party
for conviction postponed the decisive vote till
Senator it was feared the result would be
Andrew Johnson's acquittal. II was at least
apparent when this postponemcnt was ordered
that the issue depended upon doubtful vote
or two, and that the impeachers were afraid
to risk it. Hence they retired within their in
trenchments to count up their losses, and, as
far as possible, to strengthen their broken
lines and repair damages. Will they be ready
to risk the vote on Saturday? Doubtful. We
are rather inclined to the opinion that the
sitting of the High Court on Saturday will
end in another postponement.
The Presidential complications involved in
his impeachment require a great deal
of consideration. Among the republican
members of conservative inclnations Mr..
Wade, the President pro tem., is, doubt
the Senate. His extremely fanatical notions
on human rights and negro equality, and his
obstinate and domineering character as a
party leader contributed not little to the
defeat Of himself as candidate for reelection
to the Senate and his platform Of universal
negro suffrage last fall in the hitherto over
whemingly republican State of Ohio. The
radical ultras, sharing in the chagrin Of
Wade's defeat, have apparently resolved
that his wrongs shall be righted, not
only in his promotion to the White
House, to serve out as President of the United
states the remnant Of Andrew Johnson's
term, but that he shall be nominated at Chi
cago as Vice President for the succession on
the ticket with General Grant. Here the shoe
pinches. Here is difficulty upon which
before Saturday there must be some under
standing with Wade or another postponemcnt
Of the final vote on the impeachment.
There are other aspirants besides Mr.. Wade
for the position Of Vice President on the ticket
with General Grant, and most prominent
among them are Speaker Colfax, Senator
Wilson, Ex-Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
and Governor Fenton, Of New York. Now,
with the removal Of President Johnson and
the transfer of Mr.. Wade to the White House
in advance of the Chicago Convention, from
the very fact that he has the Executive patron
age in his hands, Mr.. Wade, 1t is believed, will
be able to command the nomination indicated.

Southern Religious Rcc0nstructiOn-In Part.
The Methodist Episcopal Conference, sitting
in Chicago, and composed of large and in
fuential class of clergymen, has adopted reso-
lutions admitting to the body provisional dele
gates from the unreconstructed States of vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Texas, also from the States of
Delaware and Tennessee, and recognizing as
legal the. annual conferences held in those
States. II must be understood that these
Southern delegates do not represent the old
original hard shell Methodist Episcopal Church
South, which remains almost as obstinate as
before the war, but new growth of Methodists,
of different culture and complexion altogether.
John g. Calhoun declared many years ago
that among the most powerful elements oper-
ating to break up the Union was the division
of sentiment in the great Methodist Episcopal
Church on the subject of slavery-one branch
representing anti-slavery as the voice of the
North and the other pro-slavery as the voice
of the South. Upon this rock the Church
and the Methodist Church South became the
distinctive appellations of the separate
branches Of this the most powerful of the
Protestant religious organizations in the coun-
try. True TO the prediction Of Calhoun seces-
sion and rebellion soon followed this Church
disruption, and civil war was waged until the
federal arms settled the physical question of
the indissolubility Of the Union. The war
over and the question Of slavery decided forever,
there has been an earnest desire on the part
of certain Methodist divines both North and
South to restore the harmonious relations once
existing in the Church and to bring the scat
tered brotherhood together again in common
fold. This effort, unfortunately, has not been
successful; but the proceedings of the Chicago
Conference are noteworthy at this time as
evincing desire on the part of the Church
North to reunite with the Church South
on its own terms. To show, however,
how far the Church North have advanced
in their ideas on the moral aspect of the slavery
question, they have, 1t seems decided TO take
III all the delegates from the South that
present Observation-Disclosures included This
smacks little of amalgamaton, with strong
squint toward the radical political convention
which shortly follows in the wake of the
present religious Conference in Chicago.

District in opposition to Governor Swami.
Rebel General Wade Hampton spoke at the

Burning of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Bridge.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 1.-THE railroad bridge
across the Susquehanna river six miles west of
Harrisburg was discovered to be on fire about
O'Clock this morning, and before it could be
extinguithed five spans OF the bridge were de-
stroyed. There will be no delay to trains, or
any transfer of passengers or baggage in conse.
quence of this occurrence, as the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company controls two bridges, one
west and one east of that point, by which trains
can be passed without delay. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from spark from the
engine of the Baltimore express west, which
passed over the bridge few minutes before the
fire was discovered. The damage will be
repaired at once, and preparations have already
commenced.
