Clearing the Record In tho Rogers Case.
Some good action was had before City
Judge Bedford yesterday in getting rid Of the
rubbish with which the Rogers murder case
has been too long embarrassed. The full re-
port of these proceedings will be found on
another page of this mornings HERALD.
The case came before Judge Bedford on
the affidavit of Mayor Hail. representing the
people, and an opportunity was thus afforded
to promptly apply a.legal test to the charges
made against several persons and the evil
dence accumulated, to see whether there
was good ground for longer holding in GUS
tody any of these persons. Thus all that
could be presented in court against Tallant and
against Logan No. the Logan who surren-
dered himself-was sifted, and it being found
there was no case these men were promptly dis
charged. Such action takes the first step in
pointing inquiries in a mors profitable direc-
ton, and prevents the great injustice of con-
fning men who are evidently not amenable on
this charge. 1t has hitherto been too much the
case that routine has rendered it impossible to
take just this kind Of action, while, on the
other hand, routine could never stand in the
way of any action that made things easy
for roguery. Evidently our new Mayor and
our new City Judge mean to show how law
can, be used to further the right

Under Which Queen, Blonde or Brunette 2
From the morning of the world when the
provoking apple tree vexed the mind of the
first gentlewoman, Eve, down to the practical
present, great questions have periodically
arisen to agitate the public mind. Passing over
tual philosophy which were finally set at rest
by Calico, Harvey, Sir Isaac Newton and the
Cock lane ghost, we come to the mooted
social questions Of later days-Who killed
Cock Robin? Who struck Mr.. Patterson |?
Who is "Jim?" Who first nominated Grant ?
and what was the original color of Miss
Lydia Thompson's hair? These queries have
become matters Of grave import, and espe-
cially the latter. From the time when that
blonde queen Of burlesque burst upon our
stage, wrapt in loneliness and crowned with
the tawny splendor of her burning tresses,
the abashed brunettes have looked on and
wondered. Envy, with her hundred tongues,
whispered ''LAurellene," which Fashion tells
us is the name Of the liquid gold in which
the bewitching Cora Pearl bathed her dark
locks when she descended on Paris, to renew
her empire, in golden mist. Miss Thompson,
however, like the indomitable lady Of Legend
airy fame who went down beneath the dark
waters crying Scissors" will not be ranked
among the counterfeits who assume a virtue
nature gave them not. Possessing ready
and restless pen, she has now twice, like
Pope's Belinda, drawn her deadly bodkin to
avenge even word that threatened to insult
her golden locks. Her hair is not as she
gently insinuates of her professional sisters,
q rosy fiction, but worn from the cradle, and
to the grave will she bear it. Her last pro-
nunciamiento is tinged with anger which
time might have tempered, but the light
in the eyes of woman is lovely in all its
moods. We accept the correction, and ten
derby salute the hand which leads us on to-
dye. However, let us mix this all with
admonition due" To those bewitching
actresses who are in the early blossom of their
youth we would commend q wise reticence and
q non-committal platform on the subject of
their hair. In Paris, the capital of art,
brunettes are catching now the brdpas OF the
Boulevards, and Mr.. Barney Williams, deter
mined to be behind none in any branch of art,
brown, black or blue, is said to have already
instructed his Italian agent to ship a cargo Of
those sun-scarred beauties to our shores. Our
people are versatile and tickle, and the hour
may not be far distant when the artists who
have blepched their nut brown tresses will
gnash their teeth at the ickleness of Fashion.

The Coming Change.

Pat has had his own way with this town
great while. He was power and has be-
come an aristocracy among us. For ten years
a brogue has been better than all eloquence in
asserting claim 10 Office. If man could
only show that he came from the parish Of
Ballymahoo, in the county of Tipperary, that
was enough, and his right 10 the best place on
the ticket was admitted on all hands so he
went into Office, and his cousins went
into Office, and the man that he only said
he knew and who came from the neighboring
townlaDd went into Office. From those who
went into Office oil the others got contracts,
and the descendants Of all grew up In the
Sixth ward and the First ward and the Fourth
ward to look upon the city government as
their inheritance; and in these times Pats
daughters go to the ball of the Americas Club
and wear the diamonds for the display OF which
the ball Is famous.
But there Is a change coming. An that
richness fell TO Pat because he was balance
Of power. The democracy saw that il could

case Of Broadway jeweler, and selling tray

robbery, at an hour when Broadway is crowded
and brilliantly illuminated, should warn our
jewellers TO adopt precaution which only one
Of their number has already taken-thc placing
OF an iron screen in front % their show

contempt Of law, TO which the excise regula-

The minority report against what is called
the Pacific Railroad Omnibus bill is very
strong. II puts in clear light the mischiev-
GUS propositions Of this bill to squander public
money on visionary schemes in order that We
may secure some inadequate advantages.
These words give the true point 1.-THE unit
ing together in one bill Of measures having no
relation to each other for the too apparent pur-
pose Of combining strength for the whole that
might not be obtained for the separate parts
has never been deemed by the people the
proper mode of Legislation, and has never, at
least in our country, added fame to legislative
bodies. Our history furnishes dishonorable
examples Of that kind Of legislation In Con-
gress and in the State Legislatures This
mode Of legislation is corrupting in its tenden-
cies. The combination of these several rail-
way companies in this bill will carry to the
country, upon the face Of II, the impression
that 1t is q measure of more than doubtful
propriety. Such legislation as is proposed by
this bill cannot but subject Congress to the
distrust and severe criticism of the people of
the United States" Congress cannot, In view
Of this report, pass the measure without being
convicted before the country Of wilful misuse

now. Let us keep on firm ground, and, above
all, grapple first with this great burden, tho

question is quieted for the present, but only
for the present. II is an armistice and not a

Brady,s Gallery Of tho War.

Mr.. Brady, the well known photographer, is
now in Washington, endeav6ring to secure tao,
passage Of bill to authorize the purchase Of
his Gallery Of the War by the United States
government. Surely this is purchase which
the government ought to make. This I'M
rivalled collection of Photographic views of
battle fields, mountain passes, valleys, streams,
prisons, cities, villages, camps and other
memorable scenes of the war, taken at the
time and on the spot, possesses an inestimable
value. It offers birds eye view of the whole
eventful period. Such pictorial chronicle Of
the war must prove infinitely useful to the
historian and the historical painter If any
thing like it had illustrated the wars of the
Greeks and Romans how much more familiar
should we be with the customs, costumes and
life of antiquity. Xenophon's ''Anabasis' and
Caesars Commentaries" would have been
rendered far more Ineligible and interesting.
The collection of Mr.. Brady comprises new
and rich treasures as a contribution to the
history ola war which forms an epoch not only
in the Annals of this nation, but in the affairs
of mankind The information supplied by It
could be replaced from no other source We
are glad to learn that Senator Cameron, Mr.,
Lincoln's first Secretary Of War, Mr.. Stanton,
his successor, and General Schofeld, the
present Secretary Of War, unite in enthusiastic
recommendations of the proposal to make Mr..
Bradys gallery the property of the nation.
We are sure that General Grant and all the
other officers Of the army would heartily favor
the purchase of this invaluable collection.
Every citizen of the United States would take
pride in seeing it permanently placed at the
Capitol. The price at which it can be secured
is but triae in comparison with its Importance
as desirable national acquisition.

the senate.

snO oCu0sCe
After vigorous struggle of endurance
against the project day and night, for day or
two past, the democratic minority Of the SEN
ate, driven from every point Of defence and
delay, have had to succumb, and the radical
proposition for two new amendments of the
constitution has been passed-yeas forty, nays
sixteen-being the two-thirds vote required to
pass constitutional amendment in either
house and considerable margin over.
The first amendment thus passed by the
Senate, article fifteen, is more specific than
that of the House, and more comprehensive.
1t provides that in the matter of voting and
the right to hold Office no discrimination among
citizens of the United States shall be made by
any State ''on account of race, color, nativity,
property, education or creed" This is uni
versal or manhood" suffrage, cutting off all
restrictions except for crime, &C., while the
House amendment provides rather for impair
tial than universal suffrage
The second amendment proposed, article
sixteen, SO changes the second clause of the
first section of the second article of the con-
stitution that instead Of leaving the mode or
manner of choosing the Presidential electors
to the Legislatures Of the several States they
shall be chosen by the people as Congress may
direct. What does this mean? We will explain.
New York, for instance, has twenty republi-
can members Of the House and two republican
Senators in Congress, against eleven dem
ocratic members of the House, or twenty-five
In all against eleven. Now, at the late Presi-
dental election, all the electors being chosen
in the lump by the popular vote Of the State,
Seymour gets our whole thirty three electoral
votes. But suppose this sixteenth amendment
in force, with law of Congress providing that
the electors shall be chosen by single Congress
sional districts, each district choosing its own
elector, leaving only the two Senatorial cleo
tors to be chosen by the State at large; then,
though the State may 60 democratic by a
heavy majority, the republicans may have
twenty of the electors against thirteen dem
ocrats. In other States the advantage will be
reversed under this rule, but we presume that
this new amendment was mainly intended to
cover the State of New York, and to neutralize
the heavy democratic vote Of this city.
Both these amendments 60 to the House,
and from the compact party vote by which
they have passed the Senate we infer they
will pass the House and be submitted to the
State Legislatures for their ratification. How
the prescription will work among the States
time will soon disclose.

DELAYS AT THE CUSTOM HOUSE Of
our merchants declare that they can get their
shipments of European goods earlier by way
of some Eastern port than through our own
Custom House. This, if true, can be remedied
with but little trouble. Let the Custom House
here cease to be political machine, let none
but capable persons be employed in the Gus
toms, abolish the disgraceful system of bribery
which merchant must submit to before he
can get his goods through, and the reform
demanded will be accomplished.
