BROOKLYN CITY.
SUPREME CURT.
The Town of a-rnveseud The Coun,issiSn.
crs OF Quarantine
Before Judge Gilbert.

Tse Town of ssrnveseud vs.. The Coun,ission "a.
OF Quarantine
Before Judge Gilbert.
AmotiOn was made IN tbe supreme Court yesterday
morning by Benz. d. Hitchngs on behalf Of the town
OF (rayesend for order OF injunction to restrain
the Quarantine Commissioners from obtaining titis
to the west end OF Coney Island, which belongs 20
the town of Crayesend and which has been selected
by the Commissioners site for residences OF the
officers and men engaged in Quarantine.
The complaint on which the motion was based sets
forth that the Legislature authorized the Commits
to select site for Fesiences Of the Health
Officer and men in his employ upon the west end OF
Coney Island, but not to take amy part OF GOney
Island for any other purpoSeS connected With
quarantine; that instead OF selecting ground merely
for SITE under the provisions OF the act they have
selected the whole west end OF the island, shus
cutting or all steamboat communication with New
York and destroying, as alleged, the value VI the
island. 1t Is set forth in the complaint that II they
had intended TO select site for residences, ~
authorized by law, ana for other purpose, that
they could have made the selection without taking
more than few acres Of ground and q small water
'front.' and this would not have impaired the value
the Island as summer resort. They have, however,
taken large tract OF land and several miles OF water
'front.' which the cOmplainans believe IN for other
purposes than those sanctioned by law,
The court granted the Injunction.

The Revelation In Venezuela.

BY telegram through the Cuba cable and
special correspondence from Caracas we have
the important intelligence that the United
States Minister accredited to the republic OF
Venezuela was obliged to leave his post in
consequence of his life being endangered by
the violence of the revolutionary movement
which was progressing around him. The
fugitive diplomat was at st. Thomas,
on his way to Washington. where
he will describe to President John
sou the extraordinary decentralization which
has resulted, 10 the name Of God aud liberty.
at the seat Of his late mission General jose
Tadeo Monagas was acknowledged as Presi-
dent after having taken the city Of Caracas,
which was assaulted and carried by storm by
his troops The fighting was very severe, the
altar Of the cathedral being used as barricade
against the advance Of the Monagas soldiery
by his enemies. Several hundred men were
killed on both sides and Monagas had COM
mssioned an agent TO purchase war material
, abroad so that he may be prepared to slay
many more should reaction, which is not
improbable, be conducted against his rule.
II is time that the actual condition Of all the
South American republics, with the causes
which tend 10 excite these daily revelations,
should be fully and fairly investigated
by some powerful civilized government
and . remedy applied, The United States
Executive Is the most nearly inte-
rested, the most liberal and unprecedented
end consequently the best fitted for the
humanitarian task-a work which should be
undertaken sooa after Mr., Stillwell reaches

Congress, and the RECONSTRUCTED states.

Congress and the Reconstructed States.
The Southern Representatives who have
just been sworn in are not at all confident of
their future, and feel that the edifice of recon
struction is a mere house of cards, which the
President may kick over in any freak of ill hui
NOR. Therefore they desire that Congress
should not adjourn, but only take a recess,
that it may at any moment come to the defence
of the structure. Perhaps their apprehensions
of trouble are not mere bugbears. Here are
all these States, for instance, erecting civil
governments and sending members to Con-
gress, nine-tenths of the members being I'M
fortunately, Northern squatters, who went
down at short periods before the election. This
reconstruction is, therefore, somewhat super
ficial-takes no deep hold upon the life of the
people, and these refuse, with more or less in
tensity, to recognize it. So far it has been
kept in place by the military; but now, in
order to be consistent with the fiction that
covers this reconstruction, the military is with
drawn and the civil governments are left to the
power that is supposed to have made them
that is, the people. Suppose there should be
sudden demonstration of the hostility of the
people, and the bran new governments should
be sent flying in the persons of all the men
who made them, and suppose Andrew John
son, acting on his idea that these new govern
ments are not real, have no true authority and
are mere usurpations should regard that as
all right. From the Congressional point of
view there would be a new rebellion, and there
would be no power to suppress it, for the
President, whose duty it is to call out the mill
tia or assemble Congress in emergencies,
would do neither. Here would be a most
astonishing result Of the three years labor at
reconstruction; but this seems to be the
gloomy view that the carpet-bag members take
of their future. Congress seems to perceive
the possibility of this result and SO will likely
only take recess and not adjourn, that it may
be ready, If necessary, to declare the States
once more in instruction.

Mr. Seward issued his declaration in regard
to the constitutional amendment with a con-
tingency-it was adopted if the votes of New
Jersey and OAio held good. AS he had pre-
viously argued that they were good his contin-
gency was a very small loophole Congress
has formally closed the case by declaring the
fourteenth amendment positively part of the
constitution, and this deprives it Of all binding
force; for all know that the constitution is Of no
account whatever, and nothing can be more
worthless, apparently, than thing that has
become part of that instrument. Congress did
not count the vote of Georgia, for it had re-
ceived no official information that Georgia had
come in but il did count the votes Of Ohio
and New Jersey. In this it was right. The
reason is simple-Legislature have nominally
no authority in regard to constitutions, and
cannot act on these unless directly empowered
by the people. When constitutional ques-
ton is before the people Of State the Legisla-
ture is chosen with regard to it, and thus re-
ceives powers above those Of an ordinary Legis-
lature This was the case in the States
adopting the amendment, and the Legislatures
that ratified il had this power But when 8
State had acted II was done with that point, and
the Legislatures were once more chosen OF
local issues only, and such a Legislature canno
withdraw ratification made by special author
+; ity of the people.

Mr. johnson have done the business. They
have been using him only to betray him they
have been playing upon his confidence and
credulity, and he has found ii out Not a
voice from New York in the Democratic Con
vention, in all those twenty-five ballotings,
pronounced the name of Andrew Johnson.
That was enough. What further interest has
Mr.. Johnson in the New York democracy Can
any one tell? We see, indeed, that his con-
tempt for these party nominating conventions,
since these unexpected proceedings at Tam
many Hall, is such that he proposes to amend
the federal constitution in order to head of
these assemblages of juggling politicians here
after, and to give the people chance in be
half of their fayorites.
To sum up the whole case, Mr. johnson, with
heavier odds against him, has played the role
for another term of Tyler and Fillmore, and,
like them, he has failed in It, The best that
he can now do is to initiate the sound philoso-
ply of Tyler in the resolution to take the
world easy and the cares of State, to let the
politicians help themselves, and to devote his
leisure hours to some useful instructions on
all such ungrateful deceivers and jugglers as
those of Tammany Hall for the benefit of the
rising generation.
