THE Radicals will not be deprived OF
their victim by anything that may be done
lby the Supreme Court. They are deter
mined to immediate Mr. JoHNsoE, if they
can, whether the tenure-of- office act be
constitutional OF unconstitutional. It is q
mistake therefore, to suppose that in case
the Supreme Court should pronounce that
act unconstitutional, Mr.. JOHNSON will, lpso
tfacto, be acquitted. Mr.. WILSON, of Iowa.
a leading Radical, chairman of the Judi
ciary. Committee, and one of the best law
yers in the House, and who reported
against and killed off the Impeachment
project some months ago, declared in his
speech the other dayethat the President
was guilty Of high crime in appointing
General THOMAS Secretary Of War ad int
rim, whether the law in question be con-
ssitutional or unconstitutional, and ought
TO be removed from office; claiming that
any act done in violation of that law be-
fore it had been decided unconstitutional
by competent judicial authority, was as
clearly punishable offence as if there
were no doubt as to its constitutionalIty.
This point is ingenious, to say the least,
and will afford the Radicals abundant
ground upon which to base their action In
removing Mr.. JOHNSON. s,l'.s 80 > y.

We necessarily publish conflicting con-
lectures as to what the Senate will do IN
the case of Mr.. JOHNSON. We copy the
speculations of both the friends and the
enemies of the President, so as to enable
our readers to form an intelligent opinion
as to the probabilities Of his conviction-li'
indeed, such an opinion can be made up
from the variant rumors of the day. Before
Us is statement in the New York WorId
that Senators FEssENDEN, TRUMBULL,
HOWE, SPRAGUE, and others, have already
expressed doubts as to the constitutionallty
of the law for the violation of which Mr..
JOHNSON has been impeached. Also, o
statement that Chief Justice CHASE is re-
ported to have said that the President only
acted in accordance with his legal rights
in appointing General THOMAS Secretary
of War ad interim. We do not credit these
but give them for what they
are worth. The public will judge for
itself

The ERIE CANAL.-The Buffalo Com
nsercios gives history of the Erie canal.
1t says that the first PRONUNCIATION Of the
scheme met with derision, and its author
was deemed visionary enthusiast. The
first appropriation looking to its adoption
as work of improvement was for only 9
few hundred dollars, which were easily
expended in preliminary explorations. 1t
was not until the year 1920 that organized
opposition to the project ceased.
The result is that New York city alone
has derived in dollars and cents from the
canal more money ten times told than the
whole work cost.

The Cincinnati Commercial, leading
Republican journal, has very temperate
article upon the subject of the impeach-
ment of Mr.. JOHNSON, in which it warns
the Senate not to act hastily, nor from par
tisan motives, and reminds the Radicals
that they may damage rather than benefit
their own party by any sill-advised move
ment. If the Senate will approach the
subject in the calm and scommendable
spirit which is manifested by the CONNER
cial, it will acquit the President. ,ass

THE OFFICIAL COUNT,

Yesterday, in the Office of the Secretary
of State, the Governor, Attorney General,
Secretary Of State, and Judge Pardee, of
the Second Judicial District, examined the
returns and declared the result OF the cleo
ton held on the third instant.
They threw out the parish of Orleans in
the count, there being no legal returns of
the election in the office of the Secretary of
State. There is some ambiguity IN the
law as to who the returning officer or off
GERS are for the parish of Orleans. The
opinion being entertained by some that the
Boards of Supervisors for the municipal dis
tricts, while others that the Sheriff is legally
the returning officer. Colonel Maxwell, Sher-
if of Orleans, holds the latter opinion, we
believe, as did Judge Pardee and the Sec
rotary of State, while the Governor and
the Attorney General, expressing grave
doubts on the subject, inclined TO the
opinion that the District Supervisors were
the returning officers; but all agreed that
the additional supervisors" appointed I'M
the special act to facilitate regulations"
had no authority to make the re-
turns, deciding that their term
of office expired on the day
on which registration ended. Hence any
returns made by them were illegal and
could not be counted.
The returns from the parish of jefferson
were made partly by one man claiming to
be the Chairman of the Board of Regis
tration, and partly by three others claim
ing to be the Supervisors of Registration.
The twenty-seventh section of the election
law provides that the Supervors of Regis
tration, except the parish of Orleans, y
within two days after the election, in the
presence of two or more witnesses. snail
compile and proclaim the result. There is
no such offies as chairman. The
whole Board must act, and any
return signed by less than two Of the Super
visors, is illegal. The parishes of Avoylles,
Franklin and st. John Baptist, were each like
Jefferson, returned by one person signing
himself in one case, chairman in an.
other Chairman of the Board of Registra-
ton" while in another "Ch1i,mlan of ht
Board Of Supervisors"
The returns from the parishes of West
Feliciana, Sabine, Terrebonne and Wash.
ington were made by the Commissioners
of Election directly to the Secretary o.
State.
The parishes Of st. Martin, st. Bernard
and jackson were returned by the Sheriff
IN direct contravention oflaw.
The result is that the Democratic cleo
'oral ackets elected, as well as the Congress
sional ticket, unless General Sheldon will
get the certificate Of the Second District; bn
this is in doubt, for The vote has not beer
footed up, and two Of the strongest Repub
licaa parishes In the Second District are
thrown out, leaving the election close, ever
If Mr.. Hunt does not get the certificate.

The Times devotes its surplus energies
to arranging affairs in this State. The
"slate prepared by The Times is the pro-
duct of very silly person, and is SO OBJ
Viously absurd that the writer is ashamed
Of it, and seeks to charge its paternity
upon some one else. The Rev. ]. P. New
man, now luckily for the purpose, is alb
sent from the city. He is a safe man for a
foil. In the first place, he is not likely
ever to see the number of the Times con-
tanning the " slate" and less likely to take
any notice of it if he does.
The assignments of men to the various
positions, and the remarkable selection for
retention betrays hopeless ignorance of
propriety on the part of the writer in the
Times, or DR.. Newman. AS we know the
good doctor has some sense, we conclude he
never saw this famous slate.
