LILLE 1pTERTIsiYiG ELL

The official advertising plan seems to be
working rapidly and surely through the Legis-
lature at Albany. Possibly the worthy law
makers think it o matter of little consequence,
and possibly none but those in the secret really
know anything of it. The bill provides for
publishing in single paper all the notices
required by law it requires that the Judges
of the several Courts shall elect the paper 10
do this w0rk-thus making the magnates OF
the bench sort of 1ammany Committee to
whom newspapers must go for patronage. Ii
SAYS nothing about the standing or the circu-
lation of the paper to be chosen, nor does it
limit the charges to be made, except that they
shall be according to law.
Now let us illustrate the possible operation
of this bill, should it become law, by taking

indian known as VIM. NJ. Tweed. Suppose
this bill passes (of course without the request,
the assistance or the vote of Senator Tweed),
and a Committee of Judges should actually Sc
lect the seventy nine Transcript with cir
culaton of not more than 200 per day,
to do the legal advertising of the city and
county. In that case the notices might possibly
reach the immediate parties to a suit and the
counsel on both sides but the people al large
would be as innocent of knowledge as Tam
many Hall is of honesty in politics. And then
the cost. Suppose it possible that some little

passing ears and stages, should be selected by
the Judges TO do all this work. how long would

$1,000 year for each paper, and an aggregate
of less than $4,000 TO all, up to pay by the
line at any rate the favored papers might

OF course it is impossible that the supporters
OF this bill have an eye on The Transcript as
their organ. That would be preposterous; and
besides, il Senator Tweed owns any portion OF
The Transcript, his well-known modesty and
high standard of honor, to say nothing OF that
keen sensitiveness to any possible spot upon
the purity of his motives for which no is so
well known, are amply sufficient to shield him

THE EFFECTS or LMPEACRNENL


If the Senate convict the President, the diff
ference thenceforth between Andrew Johnson
and Teddy O'Flaherty will be that the latter
il eligible to Office while the former can never
again rise even to the dignity of Alderman Of
village. An ex-President is said to have
been elected Roadmaster of his town.
The rumor that Mr.. Johnson would again
"swing round the circle" in vindication of his
course may express his present intentions, but
q few speeches to empty houses would cure
him Of that dstemper. "The King Is dead
"I.ive the King !" will he the cry Of the peo-
nile. The public interest will be transferred so
instantaneously TO the Hon. Benjamin +. Wade
and his new Cabinet, that it will seem sur
prising that so inuinscally insignificant an
individual rs Andrew Johnson could have occu-
pied attention SO long, or that such formidable
efforts were required to get rid of him.
Should impeachment succeed, Mr. Wade
will come into the Presidency by opera
ton of the Constitution instead of by
popular election. lie was virtually chosen
for the Presidency by the Senate, since
the contingency of Johnsons removal was in
the mind of the Senate when they chose him
for presiding officer. lie was elected more
from a sense of his fitness for the Presidency
of the United States than from his superiority
as a presiding officer of the Senate. Mr.. Wade
would give the country q vigorous admlnistra-
ton, in harmony with the laws and opinions OF
Congress. The vast benefits of such an admin
istraton can only be- estimated by rejecting
how absolutely all the functions OF Government
are blocked, and the country left to drift with
out helm, by that system Of resistance to the
laws and attempted tyranny over Congress
which Johnson has styled "my policy
Reconstruction is arrested. Labor, the mother
of all wealth, at the South, is unsafe; Capitai
avoids that region as people would nee from
the plague. The South is poorer by millions
of dollars than when the war closed. 1t can
not return to order and progress until the
broken down aristocracy and emancipated free
men feel the protecting and cOercing hand OF
"a humane but vigorous government. ms they
would feel with Benjamin F. Wade as President.
Rebels will abandon their hopes OF ruling the
South. "Kuklux" clans will be broken up.
The strife over the suffrage question would be
SUPERSEDED by the quiet power OF universal
ballot. which is universal peace. The whites
would take an active part in reconstruction.
State Governments, representing the ma
iority of all the people, and yet
administered by loyal men, acting under sound
Constitutions, would apply for admission to the
Union and will be admitted. The whole South
would stop swearing, boasting, and wrangling'
and 90 to work. Only in proportion as the
South thus works out its own salvation can Its

We pray the Senate to take immediate action
on the proposition before it to admit a reporter
for the Associated Press to the floor during the
Impeachment trial. The reporter of The Globe,
a paper which nobody reads and which pub
fishes its reports days behind time, is allowed
seat upon the floor, while the reporters
upon whom the press and people of the
whole country depend for trustworthy
account of the great trial are confined in dis
tant gallery, frequently beyond the voice Of the
counsel and Senate. AS a consequence, the re-
ports which come to the New-YOrk press and
are thence sent out to the country are impcr-
feet in some respects. We put the case in be-
half Of the people. Let the news -gatherers for

The new NapOleOnic pamphlet, which for some
time past has been announced as forthcoming
has at length made its appearance, and we
give this morning some of its most Important
passages in another column. 1t is admitted
that the pamphlet has an official character, for
it is printed at the Imperial Offices, and tho
Government organs say that it is "due to a
"high inspiration" Simultaneously with this
NapoleOnic manifesto, another pamphlet has
been issued by one of the best statisticians of
Europe, Mr.. Horn, presenting fearful expose
of the financial condition of the Empire. The
financial figures of Mr. Horn are likely to pro-
duce more. lasting impression than the cleo
ton returns, which are the main argument of
Louis Napoleon.

THE CROSS-TOWN RAILROAD.

We can see no reason why the Railroad Com
panies should be given valuable franchises
which should be made TO bring millions in the
City Treasury. The franchise to lay railroad
tracks in East and West Twelfth, Thirteenth,
Thirtieth. and Thirty y-secondsts., which the
Senate of the State Of New-York has already
given away for nothing Chat is, as far as the
Cify Treasury is ooncerned), is undoubtedly
worth at least S1,OOOOOO. If tins franchise were
put up at auction it would certainly bring
81 100000 into the City Treasury. If our streets
are to be given over to railroads for their ex-
elusive use, if the property Of our taxpayers
along the route is to be sacrificed, why by all
means let the public treasury make some por-
ton of the gain. Let not the cOn6scated prop
erty go into the pockets of the railroad com
panes.
We see that the Legislative mercenaries are
now on another raid. This time they have for
their object the sacking of Fifth-aye, the only
longitudinal avenue now devoid of railroad
We see that bill to authorize railroad in

TILE LMPEACHMENT TRLAL.

I'm the Impeachment trial yesterday an ap-
parently important question was raised by Sen
ator Drake. Ii seems that an objection was
made by one of the Presidents counsel to
question of Gen. Butler. mr. Chase overruled
il. Mr.. Drake c0ntendcd that the Chief-Jus-
tice, even in preliminary sense, had no right
TO make any decision, or give an expression
of opinion on questions Of law or evil
dence. In this view the Managers OF
the House cOncurred. Mr.. Boutwell, made a
temperate argument, citing authorities from the
English law to show that the Chief-Justice
merely held ministerial Office, and was in no
sense q Judge unless when a casting vote was
necessary. The Senate adopted rule substan-
tally agreeing with the Chief-Justice.
Without entering into the law of the case, it
seems clear that the trial will proceed with
more expedition, and justice will be fully served
now that the claim of Mr.. Chief Justice Chase
has been sustained. If the Senate claims the
right to debate and determine every trivial point
that any of the counsel may raise, we can have
a trial running TO Christmas with no adyan-
tage accruing. In this last discussion we see
n whole session wasted We have the
Senate absent as consulting and de-
its return the Managers also desire to withdraw
and consult. If the Senate is to debate for
four hours on matter of technical ruling
and the Managers are to "cOnsult indefinitely
and the Presidents counsel arc also to
"consult"-it will be found, as in The case Of
Hastings, that while the trial stands everybody
else walks.
The decision of the Senate as we understand
it, sustains the ruling of Chief-Justice Chase
So far as that magistrate may determine JUS
tice, it will be safe. We have no sympathy
with the men who have been denOuncing him
and detracting from his fame Mr.. Chase has
been visited with gust of denunciatiOn,
in every respect cOuseless and unjust, and
we have had Democrats even holding
up to him the uneasy hOnOrs of the Presi-
dency rs a bribe. These men little know
Salmon T. Chase if they suppose that any
bribe can seduce him or any threat deter him
from his duty. The vote of the Senate adds
to his responsibility. In his hands more than
those of any one man the cause of Impeach-
ment rests For while an ultimate appeal to
the Senate exists, the moral force of any de-
cision of the Chief-Justice viii go far toward
shaping the judgment of the Senate.
And, finally, mark that in this matter, as
in all matters connected with Impeachment,
the Republican Senators act like judges the
Democrats vote in body as partisans They
mean to acquit johnson, right or wrong The
Republicans are resolved to do justice. This is
one interesting phase of the trial which the
country will do well to watch.

Mr. Henry Bergh will have the satisfaction

after this that we shall hear of no more des-

have been made in Boston, and which have re-
suited not in the death of the drivers, which
would have been tolerable, but in that of the
