This delightful addition to the many other
agreeable features Of Brooklyn Is progressing
in most satisfactory manner, If we can Judge
from the report Of the architects and superin-
tendents just presented to the Commissioners.
The report states that the length Of drives
finished Is 6,025 lineal feet, from rs to i25 feet
wide. and the drives in progress extend over
s,2s5 lineal feet. The bride walks in progress
amount to $500 feet, and are from TO 20 feet
wide. The walks finished are 4,s75 feet long,
with width Of from to l6 feet, and 1851
feet Of walks are In progress. The Topographic

The Vote on the Alabama COnsfifu fuiiOn-
The New Law Of Congress.

The Vote on the Alabama Constitution
The New Law Of Congress.
Several members in their places in Congress
have stated the vote in Alabama at seventy
thousand for the constitution and one thousand
against. They state it thus only to deceive.
The result, in truth, is quite different. The
registered vote of the State is in round num-
bers one hundred and seventy thousand and
of this vote only seventy thousand were cast for
the constitution. Acting on the Reconstruction
law applied to this case as 1t stands, every vote
not cast for the constitution, whether cast
against it or whether not cast at ALL is to be
counted in the negative. Therefore the vote
on the constitution is seventy thousand for and
hundred thousand against. Disappointed
radicals attempt to argue all round this result.
But what is the great point in their argument!
IL is that the negative vote was not cast that
ninety nine thousand Of these voters did not
go to the polls. Let it be remembered that
staying away from the polls was means that
the radicals had put in the hands Of the people
to declare against the constitution. 1t was
way in which to vote mo" under the law
1t was the simplest, easiest and most certain
way, and it was the way the opposition chose.
But this fact is considered of no weight in the
radical councils, and the law is to be set aside
on the strength Of some wild romances about
intimidation and great storm that kept the
people at home.
The law is explicit The opposition took full
advantage of il by staying at home and so de-
feated the new Alabama constitution according
to the law. But the power of Congress being
absolute over this question of the admission of
States, il the two houses shall say the vote of
Alabama as given is satisfactory, Alabama
walks in, and that viii be decisive. That she
will be so admitted we have no doubt. Mean
time. by default of the President the new bill
providing that majority of the votes actually
cast in these reconstruction elections shall be
conclusive has become law, so that the OPP
position to the radicals in all these elections
henceforth will have TO drop the policy Of
mastery inactivity and go to the polls if
they wish to carry the day. Surely. too, If
the opposition party Of registered voters can
defeat constitution in Alabama by staying at
home, they can defeat it in Georgia by voting
The new law is the general law of the land
The law applied TO Alabama was radical
blunder.

rather to hasten than to delay the final verdict.
II is enough, however, upon this branch OF
the subject, that "Mr. johnson is not to be
allowed the time he expects That point
seems to be fixed. Next We are told that the
Hon. Ben Buffers pet impeachment article,
number ten, on ''swinging round the circle,
has not been abandoned, because it is the best
in the lot and because its facts can readily be
established by the reporters of Mr.. Johnson's
speeches on that ill-starred pilgrimage to
Chicago and the grave Of poor Douglas and
back by way of st. Louis. II strikes us, how
ever, that in this article number ten there is
room for the suspicion of spiteful side blow
at the head of General Grant 1t will be re-
membered that on that famous excursion
General Grant was the right bower of the
President and Admiral Farragut the left on
every public reception, till Grant switched of,
while the Secretary of State acted as master Of
ceremonies till laid up on the sick list.
Butler, therefore, will be apt to make the most
of his opportunity in a cross-examination OF
Grant touching that "swinging around the
circle, in return for that e-forgotten
compliment of the bottliag up of said Butler at
Bermuda Hundred.

Ben Wade, in the line of promotion. But it is

sense of propriety and the fitness of things,
will decline the honor. Mr.. Speaker Colfax,

said that as fitting compensation for this desir

that the Republican Convention may build
upon the corner stone of Andrew Johnsons
removal. This will be safe proceeding with
the removal of Johnson for then, having no
more favers to dispense, and being too late in the
field, he will have no friends to defend him. The
democracy will have other fish to fry, and the
popular judgment of the exPresdent will 60
against him by default. His best course, then,
would certainly appear to be reputation of
the tribunal before which he stands indicted,
the resignation Of his Office and an appeal to
the people, as st. Paul, with the sagacity of
an old campaigner, appealed from Festus to
Caesar.

City Hall Park has come up for consideration
in resolution by Mr.. Van Wyck directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to have detailed

some forty or fifty plans have been submitted,
but whether the Dutch Corinthian. the Fenan
Doric, the Swedish Ionic or the cosmopolitan
composite will be accepted we do not
know. In all probability the plan adopted
will be that which absorbs most money
and exhausts most time. like our County

the new Post Office ought to be about
million of dollars. This, Of course, will be
buried with the cornerstone for according to

This Improvement in the sanitary condition Of

precautions taken against cholera last summer.
In warding off this epidemic the authorities
also succeeded in improving the general health
Of the city. They should redouble their exer-
tons this spring in view of the horrible condi-
ton Of the streets during the winter. The ac-
cumulation of Rth, garbage, mud and snow
for the last four months will tax all the ener-
gies and resources OF the health authorities TO
have the city in proper condition to meet the
terrible foe, pessilence, next summer. The

THE TWO WORKERS.

=
Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
With the same blue sky above,
The same green grass below,
One soul was full of love,
And one was full OF woe.
{ One leaped up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark,
One felt 1t ever night,
For his soul was ever dark.
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay,
One worked with many groan,
One whistled all the day.
One had flower clad cot
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot,
Made it sweeter, fairer still.
One wretched hovel had,
Full c. discord dit, and din,
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiied on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay.
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell:
Lol the one drank at the still,
The other at the well.
