DIR HIGHEk JUDICIARY

The People Of our State are called to elect a
Chief Justice and six Associate Judges OF their
new Court of Appeals on the third Tuesday
Q7th) of next month May. Beside the Chief
Justice, no one is to vote for more than four OF
the Associate Judges; so that which ever party
shall be found in the minority will elect at least
two of the Associate Judges This City, more
over is to choose three additional Judges for
its Court of Common Pleas, who will be chosen
by a simple majority vote.
This election is held in pursuance OF the
vote of the People last Fall, whereby the Ju-
dietary section of our new Constitution was
adopted The Judges of our old Court OF Ap-
peals are to be kept in Office for some years as
Commissioners to try such of the many cases
which have accumulated under the old regime
as have been OF may be referred to them In
pursuance of the Judicial article in question.
The Democrats hold their State Nominating
Convention on the 27th and the Republicans
theirs on the 2Sth inst.-both at Rochester.
We fervently trust that each Convention may
nominate a good ticket, and that the seven
best men on the two tickets may be elected.

date front of the enemy, and for whom thc
dead commander, in his brief moments OF DIS
tu;bcd slumber, after the first bloody day at
Chickamauga, continually asked-who furnishes
his language. Replying to the suggestion
of his nomination, in 1872, to the
Presidency, he said to Gen. Negiey :;
"Tho profession of arms is most congeniai 10
"me. / do not wish to be connected with pol
cities as now conducted. No matter how IRE
"proachable the conduct of man, or now us
"tiDguishcd his services, he cannot hopo 10
escape calumniation at the hands OF parl-
"sans." 1t is easy to conceive how man OF
Gen. Thomas's modesty would wish to AVOID
this peculiar political prominence. There were
few men of such purity in the army. 1t is SAD
to reflect that if he had attained the position
to which his services and character may DC

only through warfare more terrible TO MS
modest soul than that through which lie had

After attending the funeral of Gen. Thomas
Yesterday, the Democratic members OF the AS
sembly made another effort to grasp more
natronage Mr.. Jacobs was distressed about
the Binghamton Inebriate Asylum; 1t was 700
expensive; it was badly managed; 1t was IN
efficient, and all that, and the only proper
remedy was to hand it over to Gov. Hoffman,
and let him appoint new set OF Commis-
sioners. The effort was not successful, but
will doubtless come up again. If Mr.. Jacobs
and his party will plead the great democratic
principle of the will of the majority, it will be
difficult to oppose them On the majority plan
they have as much right to manage inebriate
asylums, prisons, and poor-houses as they claim
to have to govern this city.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-09

The friends of our free, non-sectarian School
system are invited to- attend the State Con-
ventiOn on the Public School question, which
meets at Albany on Monday and Tuesday
next. There are in the State miRion and
half Of children, the majority of whom receive
no education except that furnished by our free
Common Schools. An attempt has been made
to destroy this system, and to set up in its
stead the sectarian Church Charity Schools OF
Mexico, Spain, and Italy. Last year half
million of dollars, drawn from the money raised
by general taxation in this city, was paid to
few churches and church schools. AT the same
time SSOO,000 less money was paid from the
public Treasury to our free Common Schools.
If this encroachment upon what has been aptly
termed tho Poor Mans College" is not
speedily stopped, free, thorough education
for their children will soon be beyond the
reach of the working classes.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-09

We don't suppose Capt. Hall will care very
much about the passage through Congress of
the bill approprating 100000 for new North
Pole expedition, if the expenditure of tho
money is to be assigned to DR.. Hayes. And
yet we think the Senate Committee, before
taking action on the subject, has done well
to solicit the opinion of so competent and ex-
perienced an authority on Polar exploration as
Dr. Hayes. We do not suppose he would care
about undertaking an Arctic expedition HIM
self; but if Congress is determined to make an
appropriation therefor, he could assuredly give
some excellent advice as to the most profitable
way of employing it. We cannot at this time
afford any proftless expenditures, even for Po-
lar expeditions.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-09

We wish there were two or three artists, or
art-critics, or pers Ons of artistic taste in Con-
gress, whose judgment might be listened to by
the other members whenever it is proposed to
expend money for works of art. 1t is grievous
to observe the unhappy blunders which Con-
gress has made during the last half century in
dealing with matters of art and especially in
the purchase of pictures and statues for the
glorlcatiOn of the Capitol and other public
buildings. Even of late years there have been
large appropriations made for disgraceful daubs
on canvas and shocking carieatures in marble :;
and we have heard within a few months past
of some of the worst artistic charatans in the
country appealing TO Congress for appro-
priations, with good chance of success. We
confess to rather more than usual trepida.
tion on this subject, in connection with
the resolution which has been introduced into
the House directing the Committee on tho
Library to cause to be painted a portrait of
the late MajorG Gen. George III. Thomas. To be
placed In conspicuous position in tho Can
itol, as a memorial of his great services TO
:" the country and of his distinguished worth AS
" soldier and citizen" It il only necessary
that one should recall the character and an
pearance of Gen. Thomas, and his patriotic
military services, to comprehend how cruel.

New-York tribune., 1870-04-09

The annexation of the score or two OF VIII
lagos in Westchester County to Ncw-York is
only question of time; our article elsewhere
on Suburban Real Estate" intimates that it
is not a very long time either. Elevated and
surface railroads are daily decreasing the time
and tronble and expense Of travelling from the
Battery to Kings Bridge and Harlem, and in
q few years more underground railroads and
pneumatic tubes will doubtless make West
chester as convenient to Wall-st. as Central
Park now is The improvement and widening
of Harlem River is, or ought to be, in pro-
gress; the grand avenues and bOulevards are
extending to the stream. In the mean time
what has become of the proposition made a
year ago to extend the powers of the Central
Park Commission beyond Harlem River in
order that that portion of the future city may
be laid out in accordance with the plan already
unaterably fixed for the upper part of the
island9 Unless some step of this kind is taken
the numerous towns just north of the Harlem
will be built up on distinct plans and different
grades, with streets running in all directions.
and without the slightest reference to Their
absorption by the metropolis. The result will
be that that part of the city, when it becomes
a part in fact as well as prophesy, will be as
ugly in look and as unecOnOmical In plan as
the lower part now is. All of West Farms
ought now to be part of New-l lork-at
least as far as the engineers and openers Of
streets are Concerned.

The remains of Gen. George A. Thomas
were committed to rest yesterday at Troy.
The last rites have been performed and the
last hOnors paid the memory of the dead hero.
But the last words of praise have not yet
been said. His death has given expression to
two opinions of him, which his modesty sup
pressed as long as he lived. One of these was
that of Mr.. Lincoln on his military ability /;
the other embraced his own objections to his
nomination, as proposed, as candidate
for the Presidency. When public expectancy
sought an excuse for the defeat at Chicka-
mauga, which Thomas alone prevented from
becoming a rout Mr.. Robert A. Maxwell Of
this city addressed to the President n telegram
attributing the failure there to the lack of CO.
operation on Thomass part. Mr.. Lincoln I'M
medately replied in these words:
hasten to say that In the state OF information we
have here nothing could be ungraelous Than 10 IN
dulge any suspicion toward Gen lhonias. H Is "oDu"'
phsibtr MS hCOiSBi and skill cIhbited last sunday dter
"''" ""' '''' ''-'' "a LINCOLN"
It is hardly proper perhaps to quote the
opinion of unmilitary mind like that oi
Mr.. Lincoln in commentator of the military
skill of Gen. Thomas but the opinion of Mr.
Lincoln is one long ago adopted by the gen
eral public, and by military students as well.
Ills own ideas Of the difficulties suuQuuding
a Presidential candidate will be as generally
acquiesced in. 1t is Gen. James 5. Ne9ley OF
Pennsylvania-the officer who ALWAYS held the

OUR NEW CITY LAWS.

The City Charter was rushed through with
such unexpected haste that its details have as
yet received less attention than they deserve.
We print on another page a close analysis of
it, and of the new Election law, pointing out
the main differences from the old laws. The
new Charter, in principle, goes back to that of
1880, with two important exceptons /. The
Aldermen are to be chosen by general ticket,
instead of one for each Ward; 2. The Mayor
has the sole Fpower of appointing heads of
Departments, no confirmation by the Aldermen
being required. There are some important
points in favor of Chamberlain Sweeny; his fees
are preserved, and he is the only bureau
officer who cannot be removed by
the Chief of the Department. Another provi-
sion exempts the City printing from competi-
'tion. which is good thing for the New York
Printing Company, in which Mr.. Tweed has, or
had, n large interest. The contract. and bribery
provisions are mere blinds put in to make a
show Of virtue. Nearly all the patronage of
