The ". 7. Times thus demonstrates :

OF the United States Court for tho Eastern District OF this
State the only specific recommendation 10 has to make
for the accomplishment OF this general object As sew
cra trials are about TO be had In that Court Of Govern
meut officers and Others for defradng the United states

ont OF its regard for the public treasury THE TRIBUNE
would postpone ITS humiliation OF that Court until these
trials are Or would its main object be defeated by
such pospOnementP s1cffS
Ansrer.-We are sure The Times might ad-
wise its readers, if it wished to enlighten them,
that THE TRIBUNE opposed the creation OF
that eastern District of NewYork" from its
inception. We regarded it then as naked
lob, for tho benefit of those who were to be
made Judge, Marshal, Clerk, &C., &c. OF SAID
Districts Court. What we know of that Courts
operations has only tended to strengthen our
original conviction. And it is our regard for the
"Public Treasury" and for the cause OF Public
Justice, that impels us now to say that the
sooner that Court is abolished, the better for
the Treasury and for oil that is honest and
true.
The Times is mistaken in its moro general
assertion We specifically favor the abolition
Of the Franking Privilege, q sweeping reduc-
ton in the Army and Navy, the speedy closing
up of the work of Reconstruction and the con-
seauent abolition Of tho Freedmen's Bureau,
and the computation of the Mileage Of Con-
gress by the Shortest mailn instead of the
casually travelled route" And we doubt not
that several more Federal District Courts ought
TO be abolished, as well as the fifth wheel OF

Judge Howe, of the First District Court OF
Louisiana, has made practical commentary
upon Gen. Hancock's jury order which Is sharp
enough to be an intentional satire. Our readers
will remember that some time ago Judge Howe
and District-Attorney Lynch complained that
the business of the Court was obstructed by
Ignorant jurymen, whereupon Hancock issued
an order excluding from the panels-whom
think youq ignorant menR No, but black men.
Well, Judge Howe gets spick and span white
jury, and they bring him in q verdict so outra-
geously contrary both to law and evidence that
he has to turn them out of Court, with the re-
mark that they do not possess the requisite in
"telligencs for the proper discharge of their
duties" Thus the wisdom of our Washington
the Second has reduced the state of things III
New Orleans to this A: Black men must not serve
on juries on account of their color, and white
men cannot serve on account of their ignorance.

DR.. Joseph Fontaine has invented mode OF
ascending and descending mountains by COM
bination of the railroad and car with the bal
loon. Two tracks, one Immediately over the
other are elevated upon wooden posts or pillars,
mt hight of from 25 TO IS feet from the
ground. The car for passengers and freight Is
hung under these tracks in such manner that
the inclination of the track does not affect the
car, which remains always in horizontal posi-
ton. The weight of the car does not rest,
however, upon the track, but is upheld by a
balloon, built In the usual form, and inflated
with hydrogen gas, to which the car is attached.
The upper track is expected to guide the car
on its ascent, when the buOyancy of the bal
loon is regulated to exceed the weight OF the
car; the lower track guides the car on its
descent, for which purpose the buoyancy of the
balloon is reduced below the weight OF the car.
The upper ard lower tracks are sufficiently
near together that the fange of the car wheel
is always contained between them, and cannot
escape, yet at no time do the wheels touch but
one of the tracks-the upper in ascending, the
lower in descending. The invention would be
capital for pleasure tourists.

/ The main business in the Senate yesterday
was on the cottontax. AS nearly as we can
make ont, bill was finally passed oxempting
from tax all cotton grown between April, 1868,
and April. 1869, after which the tax becomes
again operative. During the time above
specified, foreign cotton may be imported free
of duty. Mr. Wilson introduced a
bill to vacate the Offices Of Governor, Secre-
tary of State, and Surveyor-General of
Georgia, and empowering the Constitutional
Convention to ill the places. The House con-
Cured with tho Senate in appointing Regents
Of the Smithsonian Institution. Steps were
taken to inquire into the status of the District
Equal Rights bill, pocketed by the President
before the recess.
In the House. bill to facilitate tho pay
ment of soldiers bounties was passed. After
a long debate, q joint resolution was passed
authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to dis
pose of such iron-clad vessels as, in his judg-
ment, are not required by the interests Of the
service at price determined by appraisal, to
be made 10y a board of not less than five
naval officers, two Of whom shall be engineers.
The joint resolution for the appointment of
Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, Messrs

Peter Parker Of Washington, was passed.
Mr.. Schenck reported bill TO prevent whisky

A correspondent asks us to say whether, in
case Mr.. Chase should become candidate for
President, he would not have to resign the
post of Chief-Justice. We answer-NO more
than Cen Grant will be required to resign
that of General in case he should be nOmina-
ted. The latter is an Office of far greater pat
ronage and power than that of Chief-Justice.
AS to Andrew Johnsons being enabled to
fill either post in case the incumbent should
resign, our friend need borrow no trouble.
The Senate will take care of that matter.
