and company are helping General Grant along
just at present, and may even imagine they are
''using him. But he is really using them all
the time; and when in power the first neces-
sity of his situation will be to "use them up"
They have been burly mutineers against Presi-
dent Johnson, and mutineers are not the kind
of cattle that dictator of General Grants
military education will be scrupulous to have
around him in positions of confidence
or power. The Frankenstein of our new
system of government will avenge the re-
moval of Andrew Johnson and the murder
of our old constitutional system by levying
war against his creators the moment he is
given chance. His advisers will be found in
the ranks of his old army subordinates; and
such obedient soldiers as General Sheridan
will be the tools most familiar to his grasp.
In the first French Revolution the semi-con-
sentative republicans thought young Captain
Bonaparte, just fresh from the siege of Toulon,
might be good instrument to help them in
the task Of restraining the excuses Of the
Jacobin Club, and we all know the result But
now it is the Jacobin Club, into which our
American Congress has degenerated, that pro-
poses to use General Grant as an instrument
to shield them from the wrath of an injured
people and to perpetuate their power. Let
us all wait and see how this experiment will
work. 1t may take five years or possibly ten.
But as we are go-ahead people the problem
will most likely be solved before half the lesser
period shall have expired. Julius Caesar was
assassinated on an imputation that he would
like to become Emperor if he could. Angus
tus Caesar, baptized in the blood that fell at the
base of Pompey's statue, and with all the chief
DICTIONARIES of the army in his favor, both be-
came Emperor and reigned as Emperor with
out resistance. In Mr.. Lincoln we have had
our martyr of the Caesar line. In General
Grant are we destined to behold the Augustus

clude her last chapter, giving the records of
the great American republic and commencing
the new volume of our country's annals under
another name?

Kennedy takes iUp the Case.

We noticed few days ago the case Of
poor woman who was locked up in cell Of
the Eighth precinct station house oil night, with
her dead infant in her arms, and was brought
up before the police Judge in the morning and
discharged because there was really no
charge at oil against her. We then CEN
sured the police officer to whose peremptory
command this inhumanity was attributable
Superintendent Kennedy has now, it appears,
preferred charges against Captain Mills, the
offending officer, for his conduct on that occa-
sion. We are glad to see that Kennedy is
waking up TO the fact that citizens, both male
and female, have some rights that policemen
are bound to respect. 1t is evident that the
whole system of making arrests and of station
house incarceration is very loose, to say the
least of It, While we have little fault to find
with the conduct Of the members Of the police
force generally--for they are apparently dis
posed TO do their duty there are agood many
errors In the system yet TO be corrected, and we
look 10 the Police Commissioners to set matters
right The case referred to In the Eighth pre-
cinct, and others OF a very cruel nature whict
have since occurred-such, for instance, as thai

case. not on technical rules but upon broad
principles of national justice, and on such
principles make the guilt of the accused plain
10 the nation. II he be guilty.
Such being the necessity of their position,
how do they meet it? They charge against
the President certain acts that are either crimi-
nal or innocent, according to the intent with
which they were done. In his intention, then,
lies his offence, If he is guilty of any; yet
when he endeavors to show by the whole
course Of his conversations just what his intent
was, to give his thoughts so far as is possible,
the door Is shut against him. he is ruled out
on technical points, and people hear the
strange declaration that, while the court
may from certain facts assume" that
lowed to prove that they were honest.
Here, then, is anything but national justice,
and the Senate for time persistently votes to
this effect. But suddenly 1t changes its face
and votes exactly the other way. Why9 Has
1t suddenly determined to take the broader po-
sition and prove guilt not to the satisfaction of
foes but to the satisfaction of the honest
masses OF the people? No. The change Of
the Senate by which the testimony so persist
emily ruled out was finally let in has another
reason, and that reason points to the fears of
the impeachers. There are many in the Senate
who do not want to come to rupture with the
radicals and yet do not want to vote for i'm
parchment. These men stand ready to act
against II on any good pretext, and the violent
radicals found that they were furnishing this
pretext in ruling out testimony that simple
justice required should be admitted. 1t was,
therefore, only their fear of the moderates that
made them just, and the change in the vote on
Sherman's testimony shows the strait that i'm
parchment is in, while Stevens declaration
points the humiliating extremity to which it

The Broadway Underground Project.

Mr. Edward S. Jaffray, who is prominent
merchant in Broadway, has addressed circular
to the Chairman of the State Senate Committee
on Railroads, in which he gives some powerful
reasons against the feasibility and practical
bility of an underground railroad on Broad
way. He says, in the first place, that if the
undertaking is commenced the street will be
rendered useless for at least five years !;
secondly, he says it will take from the build
ings on Broadway, without giving any
equivalent, the valuable vaults, which have
been constructed at great expense and which
are indispensable to the business of the street !;
thirdly, that nine-tenths of the buildings will be
injured by digging below their present founda-
tions; and, fourthly, that in operating such an
enterprise as the one projected the buildings
on the line would be filed with noxious case
and passengers would be in danger of suffoca-
ton. There are hundreds of other objections
that could be advanced in opposition to this
scheme, every one Of which ought to be suffi-
cient to deter those who are pressing the mat
ter from going any further We speak disin-
terestedly and solely for the benefit of those
whose property is likely to be destroyed. The
HERALD Building would not be injured by any
subterranean passage way that might be made
on Broadway, as II stands 80 far of the line of
the street and the foundations are so deep that
i would not be likely 70 be affected by the dig
cling operation. On the contrary, an nnder-
ground road would be an advantage to our
business by opening passage way, connecting
with our press and paper rooms, through which
we could receive oil our heavy and bulky ma

The Vhislxey War in Broolsiyu.

The tax imposed upon wbiskey by the Inter-
nal Revenue law has proved extremely irksome
to those who regard that beverage as one Of
the necessities Of life, and every scheme to
escape the payment Of such tax has been re-
sorted to by millionaire as well as tenement
house distillers. A very serious riot took
place on Monday in a disreputable quarter Of
brooklyn, in consequence IF an attempt made
by the revenue officers to seize q number Of

The st. Thomas Treaty.

The good people of the little island of st.
Thomas, it appears, are beginning to express
their disappointment at the non-ratifcation by
the Senate at Washington of the treaty ceding
said island to the United States. We appre-
bend that these good people will have to give
up the idea for an indefinite time to come Of
annexation to the universal Yankee nation. +"
We suspect that the radical party in power at
Washington have come to the conclusion to
postpone indefinitely not only the ratification of
the st. Thomas treaty, but the appropriation
required by the treaty duly ratified for the pur
chase Of Alaska. In view of our approaching
Presidential contest this radical party have
other uses for the moneys involved in these
treaties than the acquisition of new islands and
inland territories, however advantageous such
acquisitions may be to the naval and COM
mercial interests Of the United States. Party
interests come first, and public interests con-
flicting with party interests and schemes must
bide their time. Manifest destiny" points to
the absorption ultimately by the "Great Re-
public" of all the countries and colonies on the
mainland and all the adjacent islands between
the Arctic Circle and the Isthmus of Panama;
but on account of the drawbacks indicated the
people Of st. Thomas, we opine, will have to
make up their minds for the present to pray
for the King Of Denmark, and, in view of an
nexation to ''Uncle SAM" to patiently ''wait a

THE VIRGINIA RECONSTRUCTION CONVEX
TIoN-A LITTLE BREEZE. There was the
other day very lively little breeze In the
Virginia radical Reconstruction Convention on
the school question. The white radicals
favored the idea Of separate schools for the
whites and for TIE blacks. Some Of the black
radicals, on the great dogma Of "human
equality" regardless Of kinks and colors,
earnestly demanded the concession OF the right
of the blacks to mix In with the whites In the
same schools, and raspcd their white radical
brethren pretty roughly for their Inconsistencies
on this subject, and for their narrow prejudices
against niggers, or, 10 be more polite, against
their fellow citizens Of African descent. This
is one of those signs which indicate, In the due
course of things, general break up Of the
happy accord now prevailing between the
white managing radicals from the North and
the Southern blacks in this business Of recon
struction. AS soon as the poor negroes find
out that they are used by these carpet bag
gers" for political purposes and only 10 De
cheated the trouble will begin and that day Ii

The Radical Conspiracy a, washington.

The Radical Conspiracy at Washington.
We publish to-day special despatch from
the national capital setting forth in strong
light the objects and aims of the conspirators
who are at the present moment endeavoring TO
revolutionize the country and to overthrow
constitutional government The disclosures
made by our correspondent, who has every
opportunity to judge Understandings of the
extent of the danger against which he warns
the people, cannot be disregarded or lightly
considered by prudent and patriotic citizens.
The violent action of the radical leaders in
Congress, while yet in minority, has been a
source of apprehension to all the advocates Of
peace and restored Union, and the brutal
course of the Managers of Impeachment since
they have succeeded in so far forcing their
policy upon their party must have been ap-
parent to all. From these facts we may judge
of the extremities to which they would be led
in the full flush of triumph and with all oppo-
sition swept from their path.
We invite the attention of the more moderate
men of the Senate-of those who have hitherto
maintained a reputation for sound conservative
principles, good sense and unselfish patriot
ism-to these startling disclosures. 1t will not
do for them to discredit them on account of
the monstrosity of the projects to which they
point. The Girondists of France suffered them
selves to be led along in the wake of the Jaco-
bins until too late, and their eleventh hour re-
pentance accomplished nothing but their own
destruction. Let the Girondists of our own
Senate take warning and be wise in time, or
the impeachment of johnson may be as fatal
to them as was the blood of Louis to their pro-
totypes Of the French Revolution.
