VELocrpRDRs IN THE PAgK.-The prohibi-
ton OF velocipedes In the Park by Mr.. Green
or the Park Commissioners is one OF those
questionable measures that viii hardly be
sanctioned BY public opinion. As healthful
recreation the use Of the veloclpede is quite as
beneficial as any outdoor exercise that we are
acquainted with, and may be enjoyed at the
time OF year when other amusements are either
out Of season or cannot be availed OF. The
Commissioners seem TO think that the veloci-
pede Is a terror 10 horsc1esh, but In our
opinion II Is no more so than many other
sights OF daily occurrence. Horses soon be-
come accustomed to the sight OF strange OBJ
jects, and they will soon become 80 familiar
with the velocipcde as to exhibit no alarm at
It's presence In the Park. When the drives
are made wider, particularly on the east side
Of the Park, there will be ample space for
every description Of carriage and velocipede
without coming in contact with each other.
velocipedes must be allowed TO traverse the
Park. Why not2 The Park was made for
pleasure ground. Let the people enjoy them
selyes there In their own way.

FoRTY-sEvEN started in his Presi-
DENTAL career with forty-seven savage radicals
to fight, and by his own stupidity drove all
Congress over to the side Of the forty-seven.
Grant will start with the same number against
him-start the same as Johnson did but we
doubt if he will reinforce the forty-seven by
similar blunders.

and nays-that is, to put their names upon the
record in opposition to this repeal. It win be
observed Qeaving out West Virginia) that in
proportion to the whole State delegation Of
any State Tennessee turns out the largest
vote against this repeal but the Tennessee
radicals are of the Brownlow stripe, and
cherish such deadly hostility against Andy
Johnson that they would deny him the pleasure
of signing this repeal even for the benefit Of
Grant, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
from their heavy delegations, furnish, of course,
good share of this negative vote; but their
proportion each is less than that Of Ohio or
Illinois. Strangely enough, Grants own State,
Illinois, from her eleven republican members,
furnishes four Of the forty while Massa-
chusetts, from her ten republican members,
furnishes only one of said forty-seven. From
this it would appear that radicalism, hit or
miss, is stronger in the West than in the East,
and that, excepting the State Of Andy Johnson
and Parson Brownlow, it is very weak in the
South.
All the democrats present and voting voted
thirty-two. Had they voted with the forty
seven in the negative, however, the repeal
would still have been carried by the republi-
cans voting in the affirmative, and by ten
majority. This first victory Of President Grant
in Congress, then, gives him the present House
without the aid Of the democratic guerillas,
and in the new House which meets on the 4th
Of March, though largely made up Of the ma
terials Of the present. he will be still stronger.
At the beginning Of Johnsons administration
had the democrats stuck to the republican con-
servatives they would have given Johnson the
victory but they played into the hands Of Old
Thad Stevens, and this disgusted the mode
rate republicans and drove them over to Ste
vens en- masse. But Grant will be too strong
for any such democratic bushwhacking, and 80
the best course for the democrats, we guess, will
be to follow the lead of Butler for, though not
very successful in the art Of war, Butler is first
rate general of the old democratic school in
the strategy and tactics Of the politician.
The extreme radicals are afraid Of Butler.
They tried their utmost to shelve him in the
late faction fight in his district, but he was too
much for them Now they have reason to
dread him more than ever. We may be sure
that he has some grand programme chalked
out for the turning Of the republican party by
short cut into new channel--some grand
idea like that Of turning the James river by his
Dutch Gap canal. That Dutch Gap canal was
grand idea, and though not yet quite finished
1t will be, and when finished it will last to the
end Of time. In short, Butler is man OF
grand political ideas and comprehensive
schemes on a short cut, Ind has shown himself
in Congress the very man, on new tack, to
take the place of Old Thad. Stevens. There
viii, we suspect be desperatcbstruggle by
the faithful to head him of; but Butler, in plant
ing himself by the side Of President Grant, has
shown that already the game Is in his hands.

that Buffers repeal was "sprung" on Congress
and crushed through without debate.u 1t
strikes rs that people ought to be familiar with
that process by this time. This "springing'

had during all the radical domination under
the lead Of Old Thad, and the radical organs
did not object to IL then. We congratulate the
radical organ upon having again got into Its
natural place with the minority Of forty
seven. For some years it has been with the
majority, which is the only place In the world
where fanatics are completely and absolutely
out of their element. 1t has accordingly been
uncomfortable and dull. Now II Is at home

Their provides that the criminal shall be exc.
cuted in the Jail yard Of the County in which
the crime was committed, or in which he may
be confined.

act to ratify the amendment to the Constitu.
ton, only two or three democrats voting
against it.
