The Ritualistic controversy is exciting
large proportion of the attention of the New
York press and people. A late number Of the
World contained no less than eight columns on
the subject, and the Times devotes much of its
space to reporting sermon of Bishop Cum
Minis, Of Kentucky, against Ritualism. In the
conflict Of diverse opinions, it is said that the
gorgeous and attractive novelty is gaining
ground rapidly.
The Pope, according to the latest advices has
been under the medical treatment of an Italian
physician, who is reported to have given an
unfavorable opinion of the condition of his pa
tient. The frequent suppuration of the diseas-
ed leg is regarded as a dangerous symptom.
The Pope, however, it is stated, is very active,
and appears, otherwise, to enjoy good health

his successor, like himself, coming from the

involved in the meshes Of partisan politics, can
we'll afford to discard party, and know only his

The Case Much Weaker Than Il
was Thought It would BE.

From the very beginning, the NeU York
Times, a persistent advocate of the inter-
ests of the Republican party, has looked
upon Impeachment unfavorably, as in its
nature calculated to work much injury to
the Republican party. 1t was for this rea
son that 1t did not give to the enterprise
the weight of its influence. And now it
has no hesitation in saying that s'those per-
sons who have followed the proceedings as
those of judicial trial, regard the offenses
proved upon Mr.. JOHNSON as less serious
than they were charged to be-" that into
the trial, "political considerations" entered
''at every stage;' that the President
never would have been impeached but ''for
political reasons and for political offenses''
The preservation of the Constitution and
the Union and the well-being of the coun-
try had nothing to do with it. Political
considerations alone prompted and prose-
cuted this outrageous trial. The New FORK
Tribune truly stated the case few days
ago, when 1t said Mr.. JOHNSON was to be
impeached because he maintained the opin-
ion that the Whites in the South should be
the ruling power there, whereas the Radi-
calls in Congress insist that the Negroes
shall be the ruling power.

The Cincinnati Commercial is an independ-

that effect as true. yet It schemes and plans
how best to keep the Democratic party in
the minority. That may be independent
Journalism; but heretofore it has not gone
by that name. In our opinion the CONNER

in the West, and we speak it more in sor
row than in anger. The RENwADEsE are

Every politician in Ohio knows tina,
Mr; wade defeated himself, by his violent
and foolish speeches in Kansas, and at Ma
rietta and Cleveland. 1t was boldly asser-
lited in the last Republican State Conven-
tion, that the Marietta speech of Wade cost
the Republicans the Legislature; and
there can be no successful Contradiction ol
that assertion. He is the natural candi.
date of the extreme Radicals for the Pres
idency. He is their representative man.
They know, however, that they dare not
nominate him.. A few OF them have recent
fy been trying to start movement to make
him their candidate for the Presidency, but
it is failure. of course. They have almost
as good thing, however. 1t is to get
Wade into the White House right away,
by aid of his own vote, if it is needed, to
distribute the offices among his particular
friends, and nominate himself for the Vice
Presidency. The expectation is, that Gen.
Grants popularity will be sufficient to
carry through the dead weight OF Wade,
and then he will find Wade's appointees
just fattening in their good places, and the
Senate, reinforced from the South and the
territories of the far West, ready to insist
that they shall not be removed during
Grants term. Thus Grant is to be made
the tool and servant of the Wade faction.
The way to defeat the pretty scheme is to
defeat Wade at Chicago"
The trouble with the Commercial is, that
it wants the Republican party for appear
ance sake, to cultivate little decency and
honesty. It plainly sees that unless this
shall be done, there is not particle of hope
for the success of the party. AS it is, there

lFor the Ohio Statesman
The Legislalure.

The Republican press is throwing of
fretful articles in reference to the present
Legislature of Ohio, because it has Demo-
cratic majority. The Legislature is accused
of wasting time at the expense OF the peo-
pie. This is not so. To guard tie rights
of the people they are here, ready "against
the hour" to act when required for the good
of the State. The majority are looking to
the public good.
Let Republican editors look little way
back to their own doings. In 1856 we find
them here, Republican in all their glory,
merely idling time at the expense of the
State, and in the month of April re-enact-
ing, line for line and word for word, the
same acts they had passed the previous
month. A specimen of this kind of work
may be seen in volume 63 of the laws OF
Ohio, pages 81 and &c. where on the 29th. OF
March they enact a law, and again on the
I'd day of April same year re-enact tn,
same law and publish both days worl
merely to Jill up and get money.
We could enumerate many other foolish
things done by that sail the wisdom" Leg
islature, but will not take time now.
