Mr.. Gerrit Smith, we are informed, has
published an argument to show that Chief
Justice Chase is entitled to give the casting
vote, should there be tie, on the question of
the guilt or innocence Of President johnson.
A correspondent sends us an elaborate argu-
ment against this position, based mainly on
the point that as the Senate while sitting as a
Court OF Impeachment has still its President,
if Mr. Chase as presiding officer of the
trial should succeed for the time to
all the fGnctions of President of the
Senate, the Senate would have at the
same time two Presidents. We fail to see that
the Senate by having one President while en-
gagged in its ordinary business, and another
while trying the President, has more than one
President at time. But we think q better
reason why the Chief-Justice can have no cast
ing vote on the final decision, is that casting
vote is only possible where o duestion is de-
claed by simple majority. The Constitution

It is understood that Mr.. Daniel Drew has
made an arrangement of some sort with Com
modore Vanderbilt, by virtue of which he Is
permitted to return TO NewYork with inn
punity, and laugh at writs, precepts, attach
ments, and all other processes of the Courts.
We have no wish to interfere in the great
Erie quarrel, and we dare say Mr. Drew is
Just as fit man to be at liberty as his adver-
sary; but perhaps it may not be out of place
to inquire by whose authority Mr.. Vanderbilt
assumes to vacate writ. Does he carry the
Supreme Court in his pocket; or does he rep
resent the Judiciary of New-York

The Emperor of the French lately created
Mr.. Paul Dupont, proprietor of a Paris print
ing establishment, an officer of the Legion OF
Honor. A deputation from the printing office
waited on the Emperor with an address Of
thanks, signed by the eleven hundred workmeu
employed. The Emperor in reply, said that
the honor had been conferred on Mr.. Dupont
because he had introduced into his establish.
ment the principle of cooperation, which tended
to create a unity of interests between masten
and their operatives.
New-York tribune., 1868-04-30

The language, not exactly of flowers, but of
culinary vegetables, has received fresh Illus
tration. The venerable Master Rossni, who
seems to lnger in this world at very great
age, expressly for the purpose OF supplying the
Partisan newspapers with personal paragraphs.
is so devotedly attached to asparagus that, ac-
cOrding to the journals aforesaid, he has deter
mined to have no other pl,,lt placed over his
grave John Keats the poet, said in his last
illness that he could already feel the flowers
growing over him, and possibly NJ. Rossinl has
a confused notion that his dust will retain the
power of tasting asparagus. We believe that
he is mistaken /; but after all it is harmless
delusion. At certain intervals, the Chinese
place upon the tombs of the loved and
lost great variety of cooked dishes,
but, after waiting reasonable time. we be-
lieve it is the custom of the mourners to fall
to, and as grief is hungry feeling, they soon
cause these crumbs of consolation to disappear
NJ. Rossini is too honorable disciple OF gas
tronomy to desire that the sepulclral aspara-
gus should be left to spindle to slrubby
waste, and no doubt the sexton will be allowed
to cut it in its tender youth, and to sell ii,
perhaps to the pupils OF the Conservatory,
who will find it an exceedingly inspiring diet.
In this way, by sort of metempsychosis, the
genius of the defunct composer may pass into
some young person who is muscally ambitious,
and we may thereby secure something better
than the Grand Duchess new William
"Tell,' or u quite fresh Barber while
little morsel of tho magic vegetable dealt out
to the tenOrs may strengthen their voices and
cure their colds, oven though it should fail (as
it probably wouid) to impart muscularity to
their legs.
A cemetery arranged altogether upon NJ.
Rossin's plan would be pleasant place for
epicures to visit; and even upon the homeler
tombs il would be touching to see boiled po-
tatoes OF little dishes of soup, with here and
there mutton chop to move the heart or a
made dish inscribed Peace TO his hashes !"

DOGREPRYS LITTLE DODGE

We all know that the Democratic leaders
hang to the people-in theOry-with noisy per
tinacity. They would have any aud every
question voted upon, provided they have the
stocking of the cards. but there are exceptions,
it seems. In this city we have eight civil and
eight police justices, round, fat, oily men, who
fit their official chairs to nicety-men of
the people, of course, who never fail to sound
the praise of the ballot-box as the be-all and
the end-al here. They are at it now, vocifer
ously, pipe-laying for coming denominations,
and the air is thick with their laudation of the
honest, hard working, hard-yOting masses. Yet
nearly all of these judges are secretly lobbying
through the Legislature bill to extend their
term of Office six years. Andrew Johnson said:
Whenever you hear a man prating about re-
"gard for the Constitution, set him down for a
traitor SO We say whenever you hear
Democratic office holders toadying 10 the
"honest voters and protesting implicit re-
lance upon their decisions, set them down for
hypocrites. We suppose the bill will pass
the Assembly-nOt the bill, however, but the
act IN the form of sly addition to the tax levy;
but if the Senate cOncurs and the Governor
signs how shall we answer the charge of
venality on the part of our part of the Legis-
laturc! 1t is singular commentary on the
estimate these Judges put upon their own Of
fetal character that they dare not trust their
constituents to continue them in office. When
true-bue or true-gray old-fashioned Loco
foco will not trust the Sixth, Fourth, Four
teenth, and wards of that character to keep
him in his place, what shall we think Nat
urally, that he has been too honest and too
Al, = -fr
probability quite beyond reasonable power
The only conclusion is that these jolly Justices
seek first, to save the expense OF reelection,
and second, in ease the current sets that way,
to lay the robbery of the people, in the matter
of their offices, at the door of the Republican
party. If any gentleman of the law-making
power can find time to look into this matter,
we hope TO see it fully exposed and defeated.
New-York tribune., 1868-04-30

We ought TO have more emphatically stated
some days since, that the late Republican State
openly and squarely on the righteous platform
of Equal Rights and Impartial Suffrage fo'
citizens, regardless of Color. There are Oh
course weak brethren there, as in larger States
but, even if we should lose the votes OF some
of these, the party will be really stronger
and its conclusive triumph nearer for the
leclarntiOn.

We print elsewhere the names of a few of
the notaries public just made by our accom-
modating Legislature. 1t is proposed next year
to save bother in selecting names by adopting
the entire City Directory as the regular list
Some say we should take the poll-lists, so as
to secure lawful voters only; but the best way
will be to put in the entire Directory Even
then there will be a great many petitioners
whose names are omitted, but we shall at least
comprehend a large majority Of applicants.

Gen. Candy reports that the South Carolina
Constitution has, so far, 4S,47O majority. The
rabid Rebel editors and orators in that State
have duly noted this fact, and it is curious to
see the columns of journals that a week ago
teemed with ante-bellam rhodomOntade quietly
deyotiDg their ink to the discussion of European
politics, agricultural science, and the esthetics
of domestic life. 1t is gratifying to know that
