Papists and Ritualists and "danger to the
Crown" delivered just before the division
yesterday, have secured his public excommuni-
cation and everlasting anathema in ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone may attain the object of his
ambition, the Premiership of England and we
would not be surprised if Mr.. John Bright, with
some prominent Irish Catholic, were called to
high Office under him. In either event. with
Gladstone or Disraeli, the cause of the people
of England must gain and advance; while, if
the London Times forecast published to-day is
correct, Ireland will become perfect political
paradise, ''the wrongs of ages be ended and
right done amid the acclamation of the nation"
If Cardinal Cullen has faith, hope and political
charity to the extent of the London Times. so
have we, and we sincerely hope that Mr.. Glad
stone, now that he has placed the cup in the

as hostage for the good behavior of his
party, may himself prove very Joseph to the

The Great Impeachment Fiaz,e.

There never was such failure. There never
was such stale, fiat and Improbable conclu-
sion to anything that SO Numbered and threat
ened in the prologue. Impeachment is the old
case of forty crows put into the pompous
character of great political process. Forty
crows, as we are all aware would hardly cover
the number, even as stated by those most mod
crate in speech. Some said the flight darkened
the heavens, and at the last it was barely pos
sible to prove the presence of one solitary
little blackbird. So the nation that was
assured its liberties and peace were in danger
from the countless and heinous crimes of the
Executive finds, when it comes to evidence in
court, that the prosecution cannot prove enough
to send juvenile delinquent to the House of
Detention for two days. Six days have now
been taken up by the prosecution, and what has
been shown? On Monday we had the windy
and grandiloquent opening of Butler. Since
that it has been proven that the President
"issued an order" for the removal of Stanton
not that he had removed him or had not the
right to remove him or issue the order; the
attempt has been made to prove that the Presi-
dent conspired with soldiers to oppose the laws,
and this has resulted in clearly proving that he
did not so conspire. And now the prose-
cution is proving what the President said
that most sacred right-absolute freedom in
the expression of opinion. What is proved
here that can authorize the removing man
from an Office in which he was placed by the
will of the people? And what is the whole
result so far? Only that grand occasion
has been given for Butler to strut and fret
and plume himself in the public eye. Only
chance for this vaporer to show to the
world that there is no sphere of human
endeavor in which he is not equally incapa-
bic. He was general little while ago, and
he made more noise in dispatches and orders
and proclamations than all the other generals
in the country together. He was the most
mighty of all the heroes But the sum of his
achievements in the field is included in the
names of Big Bethel, Bermuda Hundred and
Fort Fisher. He "saved his men" and his
bacon and he never was within ten miles
of battle that it did not prove disaster
Peace came and, not shamed into obscurty
by his failures, the mighty man returns to
politics and law. He leads the great case of
his party. He makes the same tremendous
threats as ever, and as before he dwindles
INTO pitiful insignifcance when brought to
practical test. Fortunately, there was a way
Of pushing such leaders aside in war. Let us
nope that the radicals may not for while
earn that wisdom.

plan. But the matter of economy is, after
all, secondary question compared with the
idea that the building shall be suitable to the
uses for which it is designed and that it shall
be erected in proper time, because the neces-
sity for new Post Office is pressing. The old
concern in Nassau street is entirely unfit for
the purpose. year has now passed since the
ground in the park was purchased and nothing
has yet been done, not even the adoption of
plan. Under these circumstances we may
well ask, When will the new city Post Office be

THE ARKANSAS RECONSTRUCTED LEGIsLA-
TURE.-It appears from st. Louis despatch
Ofyesterday that the radicals have elected their
State ticket in Arkansas by thirty thousand
majority; that they have the reconstructed
Legislature, both houses, in their hands aaa-
duly organized, and that they had resolved
next day to proceed to the ratification of the
constitutional amendment known as article
fourteen. At the same time it still appears
probable that the ratification of the new State
constitution by the people has failed, because
the voters in the election, including both sides,
were not equal to the whole number of voters
registered Should this turn out to be 80
Arkansas, reconstructed, will be likely to give
as much trouble to Congress as Alabama. At
all events we think it would be well for Miss
Lucy Stone and Mrs. Antoinette Brown to look
after the case of Arkansas, because her new
constitution gives not only to Sambo but to
Dinah and "old missus" and "young missus'
the precious boon of the ballot box. Recon-
struction upon the broad platform of negroes
rights and women's rights surely ought not to
fail for want of little active lobby work at

The Citizens Association, through its vene-
rable and restless spokesman, Peter Cooper,
appeals to the Albany Legislature in behalf of
the city and county tax levies, in order that
they may be considered at once, read, studied
and inwardly digested, instead of being hurried
up for action in the last hours of the Legislature.
The republican papers are equally exercised
upon this subject. They are urging speedy
disposition of the appropriations, and are
growing at the democratic Legislature for their
dilatoriness in the matter. Now it happens
that during eight years of republican legislation
the tax levy was invariably held back to the close
of the session, and was then so manipulated
that variety of outside legislation was tackled
on to it. The democrats may now be holding it
in abeyance for other purposes-perhaps to
load the bill down with embarrassments. There
is no greater source of corruption than this tax
levy and there Is no other way of getting rid
of its evil influence than by taking the matter
out of the hands of the Legislature altogether
and transferring it to the Board of Supervisors.
We have control over that body in the manage
ment of our municipal affairs, but we have
none at all over the conclave of irresponsible
country members who comprise the Legislature.
If we do not elect honest men to the Board of
Supervisors it is our own fault, and If we
neglect to do so we shall soon learn the folly Of
entrusting the final adjustment of the tax levy
to reckless and dishonest body, and having
the remedy in our hands we shall soon correct
the evil

A Bonaparte for the Papacy.

Prince Lucien Bonaparte, a grandson Of
Lucien, one of the brothers of the great Ma
poleon, who preached the sermon at ST. Peters
in Rome on receiving the title of cardinal
has been named st. Prudentienno. A saint
among the Bonapartes is not an everyday
occurrence, although the present head of the
family is known as the eldest son of the Church.
whose ilial affection to the HOLY Father has
been proved in the most substantial forms.
The Church, then, has reason to be proud
of St. Prudentenno, and may be expected,
politically, to turn his elevation to a good
account. A London paper says that there
is on foot deeply laid scheme for the
elevation of this new cardinal in the next
election to the Papacy. 1t is supposed
that this prince of the house of the Bona
parties may, as Roman prelate, succeed to
the pontiicate on the death Of Pic Mono,
which the prophets will hold, in spite of his
good health, to be nearly approaching. The
programme surmised is that, with cousin of
the Emperor of the French at the head Of
Mother Church, the pair of them will play into
each others hands for the abolition Of the
temporal power, and so aid in settling the COM
plicated question of Italian unity to the glory
of France, and, under her protection, to the
security of the Church.
Assuming, however, that there is good
foundation for this report of scheme for the
elevation of Cardinal Bonaparte to the chair
of St. Peter, we think it more likely that Il
emanates from the Church and the Empress
Eugene than from Louis Napoleon, and that
the object in view is not the abolition but the
maintenance Of the Pope's temporal power.
Considering the infexible position maintained
by the present Holy Father on this subject
against all approaches, all threats and every
combination from every quarter-it is hardly
possible that he will become consenting party
to the gift Of cardinals red hat even to
Bonaparte and then pronounce him st.
Prudentienno without distinct understanding
and pledge upon this question Of the temporal
rights of the Holy See.
But the settlement of this controversy, after
all, depends less upon the succession in the
Vatican than upon the succession In the
Tuileries. Upon the life of that one man,
Louis Napoleon, hang not only the destinies Of
France, but the destinies of the Pope and Italy,
and continental Europe and Asia Minor, and
Egypt and the great Eastern question. Such ID
the frail thread upon which the present peace
of Europe is suspended Nor is it certain that
"the empire is peace" while Louis Napoleon
holds the helm, if we may judge from his for
midable preparations for war. All specula-
tions and all contrivances, therefore, as to the
Papal succession, are vain and proftless, in
for which all the great Powers are arming; for
against this impending revolutionary shaking
up even a Bonaparte at the head of the
Church would be powerless.

Our NEW STATE CONSTITUTIONAL bill has
been ordered to a third reading in the Assem-
bly, providing for the submission Of our new
State constitution to the people next Novem-
ber in three separate parts: First, the part
providing universal negro suffrage; second, the
part relating to reforms in our State judiciary
SYSTEM and, thirdly, all the rest of the new
document. The Senate will probably insist on
the separation only of negro suffrage from the
rest of the instrument, as proposed by the con-
venton, and the Assembly may refuse to agree
to this in which case, we presume, the sub
mission of the new constitution to the people
will be postponed till next year. Reconstruc-
tion, 1t thus appears, drags as heavily in New
York as in Alabama but for all that we are
assured by Greeley that under "Old Ben Wade
we shall have the millennium.

TIE CONNECTICUT ELEoTIoN.-The State
election in Connecticut comes off tomorrow
The result is doubtful. Greeley says that one
vote may turn the scale. The State is very
closely divided between the two parties, the
republicans holding it in 1866 by some five
hundred majority, and the democrats gaining
it in 1867 on the largest vote ever polled by
some nine hundred majority. The republi-
cans, however, relieved of the dead weights Of
Barnum and his menagcrie, and under the ban
ner of General Grant for the Presidency, appear
to be pretty confident Of success. The impress
sion, too, that there is soon to be new divi-
sion of the spoils at Washington, stimulates the
Office seeking radicals, and the Manufacturers
Relief bill, just passed by Congress. helps their
ticket. IT, therefore, the republicans fail to
recover the State, the result will be most
important democratic triumph; while, on the
other hand, If the radical ticket is elected by
only slender majority, the result will hardly
amount to a victory of any consequence The
vote on each side will doubtless be heavier
than that of last year and the result very
close.
