JUDGE BARNARp's CHARGE TO THE GRANo
JURY-A CHALLENGE TO Hrs AcCusERs.-The
charge Of Judge Barnard yesterday in the
Court Of Oyer and Terminer to the Grand
Jury is somewhat out of the usual routine al
courts and juries. He calls the attention of
the Grand Jury to the alleged election frauds
and corruption Of the judiciary and ''as to the
action of certain newspapers in New York in
perpetrating daily and hourly libels." Judge
Barnard hopes that the grand jurors, in
reference to these newspaper charges against
himself will look into them, so that
II substantiated in any degree, he may have
"a chance to resign" and SO that If no proo(
be forthcoming it may be seen ''whether the
rigor and the terror Of the law will not stop
this thing in future" This Is an outspoken
challenge from the Judge to his accusers to
prove their accusations or to abide by the con-
sequences. Let our contemporaries referred to.
therefore, walk up and face the music or retire
from the field. Let us have justice, and ''lel
us have peace"

More Developments In tho Whisl<cy Rings.
A new point has been reached in the whis-
key ring frauds that seems to have the right
ring in it. Heretofore the public have been
treated to charges and counter charges, crimi-
nations and recriminetions, that left them in
complete uncertainty as to who are the delin-
quents and as to what extent these whiskey
frauds existed. The whole matter has been
taken out of the hands of amateur inquisitors
male and female, who had their own personal
objects to serve and who were totally uninfiu-
enced by an honest desire to bring the guilty
to justice. The Grand Jury empanelled in the
United States Circuit Court, and which
has been in session all this month, have had
such serious charges presented to them in con-
nection with these whiskey frauds, and these
charges have been so far supported by the
weight Of testimony, er porte though it may
be, that that body have found true bills against
certain parties whom, up to this time, the pub
lie had no. suspected of shadow of crirni-
will be shed on these dark transactions. The
parties who are now assailed would not, we
dare say. if they could, shrink from
the public scrutiny that is now in
evitable. The Grand Jury have presented
bills Of indictment against William Fullerton,
Alfred A. Belknap, d. G. Brdsall, Jacob
Depuy, L. J. Windust and others, and for the
arrest Of these men warrants have been duly
issued. This brings us very near to the begin
ming Of the end Of these long talked Of but
hitherto well concealed charges OF whiskey
ring frauds, and the only regret is that proper
judicial proceedings were not taken to bring
the whole of them to light long since. The
public will await with interest the impending
developments which this one step in the right
direction, we think, must lead to in short
time.

that the business part of this mission Is GER
tain to fall into other hands. The practical
results Of this friendly commencement, how
ever cannot fail to have good and whole
some effect The example Of England will be
followed by France and by the rest of the gov
ernments of Europe. The treaties in their
final shape may not be exactly what Mr..
Burlingame now wishes them to be. It may
even be found impossible to maintain uniformity
In the different treaties with the different gov
ernments. But the hopeful commencement
augurs well for success. The success of Mr..
buriingame win place China on new footing
win all the great nations, win inaugurate q
new policy for the whole East, will nightly
enlarge the family of nations, and will rebound
not only to the praise but to the. pecuniary
advantage OF the American people. Nothing
viii tend so much to I'LL the Eastern imapina-
ton with sense Of our greatness. II wiz
sink into insignifcance all the vaunted con-
quests of the Powers Of Europe. Our triumph
will be identified with peace, progress and good
will, and the result will be the developments a
the resources of the Asiatic nations immensely
to the advantage of the United States, which
is to be the great central nation of modern
times.

The Erie Railroad Wharf.-The Combaa
The proceedings in the Erie Railroad war.
before Judge Sutherland, yesterday (Suprems
Court, Chambers), as given in our reporters re-
ports elsewhere in these columns, will be found
exceedingly interesting. The contest is be-
tween the Belmont party and Gould, Fisk and
Company, and yesterday, after nine hours oi
laborious pleadings from the lawyers on both
sides, Judge Sutherland set aside the
order Of Judge Barnard appointing Gould
receiver of the Erie Railroad property,
and appointed Henry e. Davies, late
Judge of the Court Of Appeals, in his
place, and also vacated the order of
Judge Barnard authorizing Gould to withdraw
from the market two hundred thousand shares
of Erie stock. But this does not settle the
controversy. It revives the old battle between
the judges and for its settlement will most pro-
badly require the special Intervention of the
New York and New Jersey Legislatures once
more, and may possibly require the interposi-
ton of Congress. AS it stands it is quarrel
which almost eclipses in its disclosures the
revelations Of the wrangling whiskey rings,
and in both cases we hope for sitting Of these
iniquities to the very bottom.

THE NORTHERN NATIONS OF EUROPE DRAW
ING CLOSER TO EACH OTnER.-It will be seen
by a cable telegram from Pesth, published in
another part of this paper, that the Northern
nations Of Europe are drawing closer toward
each other. In the preface to the official Red
Book of Hungary, which has just appeared,
the maintenance Of friendship with Prussia
and with all the Northern and Southern States
of Germany is urged, as well as speedy set
tlement Of the Schleswig difficulty. We have
frequently remarked that the tendency Of the
ageis toward closer relations between the people
and States of Northern Europe on one hand
and between the Southern people and States Of
the Latin race on the other, and that at no
distant day mighty conflict would come for
the supremacy in Europe. This news from
Hungary is one of the signs Of the times point
ing to such an end.

Tho Reassembling Of Consrcss-what viii
President johnson Have 20 says
The two houses Of Congress will reas-
semble in the National Capitol on the first
Monday in December. It viii be the last
session OF the Forticth Congress, and its
constitutional term will cease at noon on
the 4th of March next, when the Forty-first
Congress will Immediately take its place, under
a recent law, in order to be ready for the exi-
gencies Of the incoming administration. We
suppose that on that occasion the two houses
will await the Inauguration of Grant and Col
fax as President and Vice President, and that
then, after formal organization, o joint COM
mittee will be sent to President Grant to re-
port progress and to inform him that the two
houses are ready to receive any communities
tion he may have to make. Thereupon, in ad-
dition to the usual inaugural address, we may
look for message to Congress foreshadowing
the general policy Of President Grant.
Meantime, however, we may expect from
President johnson on the reassembling Of
Congress q pretty extensive and COM
prehensiye message. We presume, too,
that il will not be 30 much devoted
To the legislative measures deemed ncces-
sary for the public interest as to the vindi-
cation Of ''my policy" Last December Mr..
Johnson was particularly jubiant over the sig
nihcant results of the Northern State cleo
tions Of 1867, and we shall be little
curious, therefore, to SOC his explanation Of
the October and November elections Of 1868.
We suspect however, that he will either
ignore this subject entirely or touch II very
gingerly. His eleventh hour electioneering
pronuncidmienso in favor Of Seymour places
him SO broadly in opposition to Grants election
that we can hardly expect the outgoing to re-
joice over the happy auspices which surround
the incoming administration. In short, we
anticipate from bir. johnson nothing very won
derful, thodgh something better than the old
story Of his constitutional views Of recon-
structien. aud something more than the dangers
