Tom Hood has happily told us of peacock
that ''felt the eyes of Europe on his tail" but
that peacock and his vanity are destined to
become insignificant by comparison with the
astonishing Karsner and ''the eyes of Della
ware" Adjutant General Thomas testimony
gives us a happy glimpse of one of the
humors of our national politics. Thomas
was once the great man of an hour. Dur,
ing that hour we see him face to face
with the inevitable bore ''from his own
town." There are two thousand men in
the United States at this time who are telling
to every one they meet, with an air of great
consequence, that they were born Sin the county
with General Grant"-so of General Sherman,
Andy Johnson and everybody else. There
are even men who have boasted of having been
born near where Butler was 80 also Thomas
had his townsman to bother him in his hour of
greatness. The townsman foresaw the conse-
quence it would reflect on him when he went
home able to tell of his conversation with the
Secretary dd Interim" He accordingly
rushed for Thomas hand Thomas with
drew it; Karsner seized it again, and
again and again, not to be shaken off
by slight efforts, and, questioning Thomas
all the time as to what he proposed to do, at
last bothered him into admitting that he would
''kick" Stanton. He evidently felt that he
would do anything that Karsner desired if
that illustrious bore would only carry himself
off, How common, how ridiculous, how hu-
initiating is this scene in all our public assem-
bies where the great men of political maneu-
vres are present And such an incident is made
part of the evidence to show that President
of the United States should be ousted from his

Revival In Amuse,nents.


After the fast comes the feast After Lent
the churches fall back, and the theatres, read
ing and lecture rooms come again into The fore
ground. SO goes the world. 80 it was when
the jolly carnival of Charles the Second fol-
lowed the dismal reign of the Roundheads. So
it has been from the beginning, and 50 it will
be to the end of human history. So we find,
from glance at our advertised list of amuse-
ments for the present week, beginning with the
night Of Easter Monday, the following additions
to and changes in our still continued last week s
nightly entertainments -
First, the opening with Dr. Marigold and
Mrs. Camp, of the five farewell readings of Mr..
Dickens at Steinway Hall second, the first of
f9Ar Shakspearian readings by Mrs. Fanny
Kemble at Brooklyn Institute; third, the pretty
opera of "Martha," by combination of artists
at the New York Academy Of Masic, and the
first of three performances set down for the
week fourth, grand operatic benefit by the
stockholders and others at the Brooklyn
day evening fifth, the return of Mr.. and Mrs.
Barney Williams at the Broadway theatre !;
sixth, an ''entire change" and some ''extra-
ordinary attractions" in the programme at
Niblo's; SEVENTH a brilliant and sparkling
adaptation of ''La Belle Helene" by the Wor
rell Sisters at the New York theatre.
Thus it will be perceived that we are to have
a pretty extensive revival in the world of
amusements with the conclusion Of the Lenten
season. Mr.. Dickens, in repeating the read
ings which he has given us before, will afford a
good opportunity for hearing to those who
have not heard him; for many of those who
have heard him are satisfied. Miss Minnie
Hauck, Nine. Tesla, Signor Bellini and COM
pany ought to have a full Academy, in order
to encourage those entcrprisng volunteers who
step forward at venture for the opera when
Pike, Strakosch, the Academy stockhold-
ers, and even Harrison, appear to have given
it up as bad job. The new ATTRACTIONS" at
Niblo's, from all that we hear, will be very
fine, and quite Transformation from those of
the Crook. The English rendering of the Gre
clan Elopement, from the preparati ons which
have been made by the Worrell Sisters, will be
very apt to have run, while Mr.. and Mrs.
Barney Williams, in their never failing round of
funny Irish and Yankee characters will attract
their never failing admirers at the Broadway.
We understand, however, that Barney proposes
very soon to bring out something entirely new,
entitled candy Johnsons Impeachment" in
which, among the numerous characters to be
given, Secretary Stanton, Colonel Schriver and
General Lorenzo Thomas, in the division of that
little bottle of Bourbon, will be faithfully
represented, likewise the old farmer Karsner,
with "the eyes of Delaware" And why not,
when we can beat them in New York in this
very farce which they are playing in Washing
ton?

Easter Sunday In the Metropolis.

The Christian world rejoces to-day. After
forty days of penitential exercises, fasting and
prayer, the Church filings aside the sombre trap
pings Of woe and arrays herself in the gayest
and brightest dress, to do homage towards her
divine Founder, risen from the dead. From
ten thousand religious temples the glad halle
lujahs go up to heaven in joyful commemora-
ton of the event, and .he smoke of ten thou
sand censers floats through the aiaes of many
stately cathedral in Earope The observance
of Easter as great festival dates from an
early period Of the Christian era; and although
many of its usages and customs have died out,
yet reverence for the day itself is still deep
seated in the hearts of every Christian commu-
nifty. The day upon which the festival
occurs is never earlier than the 22d Of
March and never later than the 25th OF
April, and is celebrated now on the first
Sunday after the full moon occurring on or
Immediately after the 2lst of March. This
mode of determining the day f.r this festival
was established by the Council of Nice, A. d.
325. The celebration of Easter Sunday in the
metropolis is principally, if not wholly, con-
fined to the churches 1t is the ambition of
every pastor on this day to have his church
decked out in the handsomest manner possible,
Of every organist to have choir Of extra merit
and musical services of the highest character,
of every church committee to look after the
collection and of every lady member Of the
congregation to weave together beautiful
decorations for her church. The musical
services at all the leading churches to-day
promise to be attractive and brilliant. The
details of the programme by which they purpose
to celebrate this festival may be found in
another column of the HERALD. Many Of the
choirs will have orchestral as well as organ
accompaniment, and the greatest works of old
and modern composers will be given.

The Police station House system.

The facts which we published yesterday,
relative to the case of the poor woman who
was locked up all night in cell of the
Fifteenth precinct station 1buse, with her dead
infant in her arms, suggests the idea that the
system at the police station houses is all wrong
and needs thorough reformation. The cir
cumstances Of this case are certainly very
extraordinary, and exhibit a considerable lack
OF humanity in the police authorities who had
to deal with it. 1t appears that this woman,
while performing the religious duties appro-
pirate to Holy Thursday in church, with a
sickly infant In her arms-having probably no
| one to take care Of 1t at home-got crushed in
the crowd and upon extricatlng herself found
the child dead. With the anguish natural to q
mother she raised q piteous outcry, and was
arrested by the police and hurried off to the
station house for committing breach of the
peace and on charge of intoxication. often too
heedlessly made by the police. Although the
sergeant, seeing the state Of the case, hestated
to put her and her dead child into cell with
vile criminals and drunkards, the captain of
the station, il Is stated, peremptorily insisted
upon her incarceration and SO the living and
the dead passed that dismal night in cell.
On appearing before the Justice in the morning
no charge whatever was sustained against the
woman. This is matter which the Commits
sioners should look into. The station house
system is evidently irregular and inhuman.

The Spring Fashions.

The advent of Easter and the Resumption of
all the gayetes and follies of fashionable life
which were rudely broken in upon by the
season of Lent will give the ladies the first
favorable opportunity Of displaying their new
spring toilets. Our lively Paris correspondent
discourses this week on bridal outfits. The
end of March always brings trousseaux promi-
nently into notice, and around those terrible (to
the poor husband, at leasD affairs admirng
groups of young ladies congregate and
criticise. Among the items of trous-
seau which excited universal admiration
were twelve dozen of pocket handkerchiefs,
twelve dozen of petticoats and formid-
able robe of white gros grain. We sincerely
pity the unhappy partner of the wearer of such
trousseau if she purpose always keeping
her wardrobe to such a standard. Another
item was a ball dress consisting of ruby satin
.nderskirt, with lustrous white gauze, trimmed
in the richest manner, as an overskirt. The
only novelty in the bonnet line now is in the
ornamentation. Mother-of-pearl and shells,
Stimulating nuts, filberts and berries hang low
from slender stems among green leaves on the
fanchon. The Baroness Schickler has the
richest set of black pearls which are known,
and the Duchess of Fernan Nuhez has ducal
diamond coronet which was exhibited at the
Exposition. The new spring styles seem to
give universal satisfaction.

unnecessary. Instead of there being unex-
pended balances we shall find startling de-
fciencies, particularly in the War Department; {;
and the reduction of income by the passage OF

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. The proceedings
in the Court of Impeachment yesterday
we're rendered noteworthy by the repeated
refusals of the Senate to allow General Sherman
to testify whether the President meditated the
use of force to eject Mr.. Stanton from the War
Office. This action appears to us very singular.
Mr.. johnson is charged with having conspired
with General Thomas to take possession of the
War Department by the exercise of armed
force if necessary, and when the defence brings
The New York herald., 1868-04-12

forward a witness to prove that nothing like
force was intended the Impeachment Managers
object to the reception of the testimony, and the
court sustains the objection. So far as we can
see this is simply refusal to permit the
President to defend himself Common decency,
if nothing more, should in our opinion, have
induced the Senate to receive the testimony.

On Saturday the great impeachment Mana
gers, representing the lower House of Congress
before the Senate, INDUCED little in that
peculiar satisfaction men take in saying bitter
and would-be savage things against persons
who do not see matters in the same light with
themselves. The remarks they made were
private-strictly private-intended only to be
heard by others, not answered Mr.. Stevens

as to be heard generally; but when challenged
to stand the responsibility Of it he admitted

''between ourselves"-a thing of which the
court that heard it had no right to take notice.
in sore-headed growl the natural outflow of
his disappointment on finding that body not
willing to be bullied and browbeaten into every
thing the Managers chose. An appeal was
made to the Senate to admit certain testimony
tending to show that the Presidents purpose
was not to outrage law in the appointment
of Thomas, which testimony the Managers had
objected to. The Senate admitted the testi-
mony by vote of forty-two to ten and in
relation to this vote Stevens said of another
proposed appeal, 80, it is not worth while-it
is not worth while to appeal to the Senate any
more after that decision" This growl Of dis
gust shows the present state of radical feeling;
for Old Thad is the very barometer Of his
party-a feeling that, since the Senate is dis
posed to be just, impeachment is gone, and
consequent ill-will against the Senate for
daring to be just.

UNExPENDED APPROPRIATIONS AND THE
SURPLUS FUNp.-Mr. Blaine, of Maine, offered
a resolution in the House Of Representatives
on Friday, directing the Committee on Appro-
priations to inquire into the expediency of
defining the time and manner of carrying
unexpended appropriations to the surplus
fund and returning the same to the Treasury.
The honorable member must be wag, and
submitted this proposition as humorous piece
of satire on the extravagant and reckless legis-
lation of Congress. The idea of there being
any unexpended appropriations or any surplus
fund while the radical party remain in power is
preposterous. We might as well expect to find
gold in the coal measures as any surplus
money at the end of the fiscal year or during
radical reign. The resolution was altogether

1t is stated that leading Southern
Democrats have issued an address, re-
questing Seymour and Blair to resign in
favor of Chase and Franklin.
George Francis Train has been noti-
fed, by cable, of his nomination to Con.
gress in the Fifth District OF this city.
The committee urged him to pay the
claims against him and return at once.
On yesterday the committee received a
dispatch from Train announcing his ac-
cephnce of the nomination, and stated
he had offered the money to pay all
claims, but it had been refused, as his
imprisonment is for purely political rea-
sons.
The World says q party cannot sub
sist upon vsporing and make believe.
Unless we can change the aspect of the
canvass, we shall have repetition in
November of the result which has over
taken us in the preliminary contest. If
anybody tells the people that things
look well as they now stand, that
nothing which could now be done would
better them, he is in the first case dis
honest, and in the second mistaken. Gov.
Seymour now can aid us much, but Gen.
Blair can aid us far more and in differ
emit way, by chivalric action superior TO
all eloquence.
UREA, October ia conference took
place Saturday between Gov. Seymour
and certain members of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, in re-
lation to some important measures to be
adopted by the present canvass. During
the conference Gov. Seymour alluded to |
The suggestions in some quarters as to a
change in the Presidential ticket. He |
said any change which should be
made should include his withdrawal;
hat be was nominated against his wishes,
and it would be relief to him if any
other name were substituted for his.
The Committee replied that no change
lad been contemplated by any of them
hat in their judgment nothing could be
10 injurious to the Democratic cause as
. change of candidates, and they refused
o entertain and such question.
