MR. DANIEL UREW.

This gentleman saw fit, several days since,
to address us letter regarding his connection
with the Erie Railroad, and tho controversy
now raging relative thereto, which VIC promptly
and cOnspicuously printed. AS he disclaimcd
therein acquaintance with legal subtleties, we
tried to avoid them In our comments on his
letter. asking his special attention only to these
plain business questions:
l. How long have you, Mr. Drew been director OF tho
Erie Railroad

words how much have you bet that the road would be

value Of the property whereof you were trustee

More than week has passed since we
publicly asked these questions; but they re-
main unanswered to this hour. Whyf Are
they not pertinenti Mr.. Drew saw fit tdclaim

accorded-wby does he "dry up" so suddenly
Our questions relate directly to Mr. Drew's in

Mr.. Drew is asking, we hear, legislation at
Albany in furtherance Of his projects and pur-
poses in connection with the Erie Road. We

attracted so much attention did not begin to
sound the depths of judicial infamy as the same
exists at this time in this part of the State of
New-York. When widespread conviction
like this exists, it is melancholy evidence that
the days of judicial virtue are numbered, un-
less those who are interested in an honest ad-
ministration of justice insist upon reform. AS
it is now, the higher Courts are largely under
the control of Democratic politicians, and In
the small criminal Courts the manners of the
Judges and all the underlings are, as rule
insolent and disgusting, and deeds are gen.
orally supposed to be done in some of those
Courts, under the forms and in the name OF
law, which would appall the traditional "des-
spots of Europe" if practiced in their do

Judge Woodward of Pennsylvania introduced

Saturday, being bill to provide for the test
ing of acts whose constitudonality may be
questioned by the President and passed over
his veto. The President may file in the Su-
preme Court such feigned issue" as will
raise the constitutional question to be decided.
and the Speaker of the House is to be COM
PEELED to appear, by record or counsel, to
defend the enactments objected to by the
President. The Courts opinion against an act
makes it null and void, but until such a
decision is pronounced it shall be deemed con-
sttutiOnal and valid.

ADJUTANT-GEN. THOMAS.

The Presidents counsel have rendered the
Impeachment Managers and the country gen.
orally great service by putting Gen. Thomas on
the stand, and allowing us to see what KIND OIL
a substitute the President had provided in place
of Secretary Stanton. Gen. Thomas had had
the reputation during the war OF being well
meaning officer-nothing more. But in putting
him forward as a witness the President seems
determined to add to the charge of having ap-
pointed Gen. Thomas in violation OF the Con
stitution and the laws, the severer charge Oh
having appointed an unmitigated blockheau' III
violation of common sen Sc. That any witness
should swear minutely to q variety OF facts,
swear when cross-examined with equal minute
ness that these facts were all untrue,
and swear again on the redirect exam"
nation to their truth, is marvellous
even TO those who have long ex-
perience and familiarity with all sorts OF Wit
nesses Yet it is such person whom public
considerations of a high character" have
mpeled President Johnson to appoint to the
difficult and responsible Office of Secretary OF
War, in place of Mr.. Stanton. Had no Tenure
of-Ofiice law ever been passed, the forcibe
removal of Secretary Stanton to make room
for Lorenzo Thomas would have justified im-
peachment, if for no other cause than that,
with nobody but Gen. Thomas in the office,
there would have been a perpetual vacancy

WHO HILL BE PRESIDENT Z

Presuming that the trial of Andrew johnson
on the Impeachment of the House OF Repre-
| sentatiyes will result in his dismissal from
Office, who is to take his place
The Federal Constitution Cart. g, ! 1, clause
| o. prescribes that
"In case OF tho removal OF the President from Office,
or OF his death resignation inability TO discharge the
powers ami duties OF tho said Office the same shall de-
volye tho VlcePresident and the Congress may by
law provide for the OF removal death resignation,
inability both OF the President and Vice President de,
officer shall act accordingly until the disability be re.
moved or President shah be elected"
| Congress hereupon proceeded, on the 1st Of
March, 1792-more than seventy five years ago,
and with the approval of President Washing
ton-to enact that
"In easo Of removal death, resignation or inability,
both OF the President and ViccPresdent Of the United
there shall be President Of tho Senate then tho
being shall act as President Of the United states until
the disability be removed President shall DO elected"
Here is all the law that was ever made on
the subject--as straight as looms leg, and
never till now even proposed to be changed
or invalidatod. But the prospect Of Mr.. John
sons dismissal has instigated some subtle genius
to undertake to show that we have all been
dead wrong these throe-quarters of century
that the provision of law just quoted is un-
constitutional Washington and his fellow
blockheads who framed the Constitution not
knowing what they were about, and passing
an act which is directly in the teeth of the
fundamental law which they had framed four
or five years before

It seems that Mr.. VIM. NJ. Tweed has become
weary of the plainness that is supposed to
characterize a Democrat, and, after searching
over some old books on Heraldry, has "appro-
"priated" coat t-of -arms-tbat of the Marquis
of Tweeddale. The family name of the Mar
quis is Hay, but the leading Tammany Demo-
crat mstook the title for the real name, and,
as it embraced his own name, he conveyed it
City Hall fashiOn--to his own use and bene-
fit. Imagine the Big Indian of Tampany
laboring under the heraldc hOnOrs of Scot
tish Marquis, his armoral insignia being the
arms of Fraser in the first and fourth quarters
Of the shield, and those of Clifford in the second
and third, and over all, upon an escutcheon OF
pretense, three shields for the name Of Hay |!
We might suggest a coat-of-arms (alms) for
the great oflice-holder that would make much
better fit; but it might be impolite. But what
will the unterrifed of Mackerelville say to this
mushroom aristocratf Tweed, Tweeddale

MP DICKENS.

Our readers should not fail to notice that Mr..
Dickens begins this evening his concluding Sc
ries of readings. He sails for Europe on the
22d, and he will read but five times in this
country 1t is generally understood that this
will be his last visit to America, and therefore
his last public appearance before an American
audience. "In this life of ours" he said the
other evening in Boston, "it is sad to do al
"most anything for the last time; but cannot
"conceal it from you that, although my face will
" so soon be turned toward my native land. and
"to all that makes it dear, it is sad consldera-
"tion with me that in very few moments from
"this time, this brilliant hall, and all that 1t
contains, will fade from my view forevermore."
We believe it is also the intention OF Mr..
Dickens to. retire altogether from public read
ing after making a final appearance In En-
gland, 80 that this will be the last time that
we shall have the privilege of hearing this re-
markable man illustrate and explain his own
creations
New-York tribune., 1868-04-13

We have a report that an uptown politician
and Alderman, who is reputed to have made
himself rich by municipal contracts and jobs,
was recently employed to buy in behalf of the
Sisters of Charity, block of ground which
they needed, and that he managed the business
80 as to make them pay $4,000 for the prop
erty, though it cost him but $4,000.
Should this prove to be the case, we advise
that Alderman not again to be a candidate for
Office very soon. There are thousands who
will vote little sooner for one who robs the
City, who will not stand robbing the poor.
And swindling the Sisters of Charity is in effect
robbing the widow aud the fatheress.

warrant that Messrs Porter & Co. do not pro-

THE TdY-TEVY

We print herewith the card of " An Old Tax
Payer with reference to the Withholding OF
the Annual Tax-Levy in the Assembly's Com
mittee on Cities and Villages. 1t comes to us
from high Democratic official in our city, and
is the best that can be said on that side. We
call particular attention to these points:
l. 1t clearly admits that the bill is kept back
on purpose that it may evade scrutiny and be
rushed through the Legislature at the last mo-
ment at race-horse speed.
g. II pleads the fact that in recent Republi-
can Legislatures this bill has likewise been
kept back in Committee. We add that, when
ever such was the fact, rascality was at the
bottom of il, and our City managers were gen.
orally its prompters. We propose not to stand
this longer.
3. 1t certfes that not only Mayor Holman
and Chamberlain Sweeny, but Supervisor
Senator Tweed also have nothing to do with
this holding back. "Tell that to the marinesr ~
We all know better.
4. 1t lntimates that the only remedy is to let
our Supervisors and Aldermen levy taxes to
their hearts content, unchecked by any scrutiny
at Albany. That is like cutting off mans
head for fear wart should be developed on
his chin.
Mr. "Old Taxpayer you are a much older
and more omnivorous tax consumer than tax
payer. We tell you now that, if that bill is
not soon forthcoming and fair opportunity
allowed for scrutinizing the items, we hope and
trust that it will be vetoed if there be Gas OF
course there will be- any stealing in it.

1t is now certain that Of all the acts of the

and so productive of discomfort as the recent

dispatch announces this morning, the end is
