Tho Managers Inquisition.

Public reprobation cannot be cast too
strongly upon the present conduct Of the I'm
peachment Managers. These men, abusing
the authority of the House to the purpose of
personal oppression, impudently pretend
right to go behind the verdict Of the
Senate to find if it was honest. With
out a shadow of probability, with out any
common impression even of public opinion to
support them, with nothing but their own ridi-
culous suspicious to proceed upon, they assume
that every republican vote cast against them
must have been corrupt. The very starting
point OF. their present investigation is the as
sumption that Senators Fessenden, Henderson,
Ross, Grimes and the rest are rogues, and
that their votes were bought for 50 much ready
cash. We know that the republican party is
rotten through and through with this very evil;
but we did not expect to have it so gratuitously
testified by republican leaders that the highest
and purest men in that party were not above
suspicion of the common motive. Yet we have
men brought up to swear what money they
have drawn in Washington, what they have
done with it, and what, during the time this
lations with the Senators who voted not guilty
1t is true that it is no new spectacle
in the history of our country to see
Butler inquiring into mems bank accounts.
He has never missed any convenient OPP
portunity to obtain information as to the
amount of money man has at command or as
to the whereabouts of the money; and if all
~ l.,
garding the financial part of this mans
history in New Orleans is entitled to
credit, he manages to make the in
formation pay. We know not, therefore, the
exact point of this inquiry into Wooley's
money affairs-whether the great impeachment
process has been switched of to minister to
Buffers peculiar curiosity" and such money
as the witness has left is to be, like the New
Orleans gold, 'paid into the United States
Treasury" through Butler, or whether this in
vestigation is only intended as gigantic
insult to the honest members of the Senate, to
show the opinion held of them by their party
associates.
One of the men brought before this out
rageous committee of public safety" is Sena-
tor Henderson. Here is man called upon to
answer Sin another place" for his conduct in
the Senate. What, then, becomes Of the priv
ilege of Senator-that sacred right guaran-
teed by the constitution to act as one may deem
best for the country above all possibility of
having the motive called in question Was
the arrest of the five members whit worse in
tyranncal tendency than this pretence of two
or three fanatics to review the course of Sena-
tors in the performance of the highest function
they possess? Where shall we stop In revolu-
tionary progress If these men, without au-
thority, without color of law, can call before
them any man and inquire into his most pri-
vate acts-can in time of profound peace make
greater encroachments upon personal liberty
than were made even under pressure of all the
great emergencies of the war

such ''ring" of exclusiveness as that which
was the rock whereon the Academy of Music,
with it's ill-starred managers, or rather mis-
managers, and its one hundred and ninety
nine and half stockholders, made shipwreck,
it will win and deserve to win even more bril-
liant success than its most sanguine friends
already predict for it. As in the PALMER days
of the ItaAan Opera in New York thousands
were attracted by it who cared less for music
than for the pleasure of seeing and being seen,
80 thousands who care little for the special
object of the races in Jerome Park will be
attracted to them for a similar reason. And
gradually the races will lead, as the Italian
Opera promised to lead, and Notwithstanding
all the drawbacks of mismanagement actually
did lead, to higher appreciation and enjoy
ment of the amenities of refined social life.

of this Chicago Convention the people will not
Judge this radicalized republican party, but by
the acts of it's official representatives in the
two houses of Congress. From what they
have done we may reasonably conjecture what
they propose to do in order to finish their
appointed work.
The republican ticket, headed by General
Grant, seconded by Colfax, is strong ticket
the platform upon which they are placed is
conveniently evaslve and withal as elastic as
India rubber. 1t means, on the great financial
issue, greenbacks or gold, as Congress may
hereafter determine; and Il means qualified
or universal negro suffrage, according to the
market to be supplied. How the democracy
are to fight this ticket and platform it is for
their wise heads to determine between this and

The Fire Marshalship-Another Bone to tho
Dogs Of Omco.

The Fire Neutrality-suspicious. Bono to the
Dogs Of Omce.
By recent act of the Legislature the business of
the Fire Marshal's Office, now transacted with
out expense to the city by Fire Marshal Baker,
has been erected into a regular bureau, which
is to cost this tax-ridden community twenty-five
thousand dollars per year. The appointing of
a head for this bureau has also been vested in
the Police Commissioners, a political vehicle
having been created out of that which was
originally prudential Office with pruden-
tial officer salaried by the several insurance
companies. The Office and title were origi-
mated some fourteen years since by the pre-
sent incumbent dc facto, and through it and
the very efficient and energetic action Of Fire
Marshal Baker it is estimated That at least
million dollars have been saved to the different
insurance companies Besides this, which is
an item of Importance, it is conceded that Mr..
Baker has proved most efficient aid in Sc
curing convictions for arson, two of which were
effected last winter. In this connection it is
only necessary to mention the cases of Castig-
neto, convicted of arson in the first degree in the
Court of General Sessions last winter, and of
Lambert, convicted about the same date in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. In both these
cases the practical experience, shrewdness and
ingenuity of Fire Marshal Baker were the
means of securing conviction, and to him
the District Attorney was indebted for the
models, drawings and fitting together of those
delicate points of evidence without which prose-
cution in these cases cannot but prove boot
less. 1t must be remembered that in cases of
arson conviction generally depends upon a
minute adjustment of circumstances which
would be likely to escape the attention Of
any except the most experienced mind, and
that these circumstances must be noted at the
time and in the midst of the hurly-burly of
confagration.
The value of Fire Marshal Bakers shrewd-
ness, ingenuity and practical experience cannot
be overestimated and ought to secure for him,
regardless of all political considerations, the
recognition of the Police Commission.
