The TwENTY-THIRD STREET RAILROAD
Senator Tweed has introduced bill in the
State Senate to allow the Erie Railroad Com
pany to lay street railroad in Twenty-third
street. This will give further vent to the great
resources Of the magnificent Fisk, whose ener-
gies and enterprises on Twenty-third street are
confined at present to opera houses, railroad
dcnots and free OmnibuseS.

TIE NATIONAL LoBBy.-Congress is just
now in very happy frame Of mind with regard
to political virtue. 1t has thrust out from its
body two or three contemptibly corrupt mem-
bers. Will it stop, satisfied with this very
little spasm of propriety3 We hope not.
There is law, passed in 1853, the enforce
ment Of which would abolish the lobby, and
without the lobby there could DO no corrup-

FRANCE AND THE CoUNoIL.--A caoie ae-
.patch which we publish this morning gives us
another and fresh illustration Of the Sylia-
bus. The French government has warned Its
representative at Rome to use great caution
In his efforts to protect the institutions OF
Catholic States. This shows the leaning OF
the Eldest Son of the Church.

Our Special European Letters.

BY the European mail we have the special
correspondence from st. Petersburg and Rome
which is published in the HERALD to-day.
Our letter from st. Petersburg reports
the tlrst diplomatic efforts Of the Burlingame-
Chinese embassy at tn: tn: Court Of the Or
minister buE'spXa.s had an audience OF
rrince Gortschakoff previous to his reception
at court. This latter ceremonial was con-.
Quoted by imperial order with great splen-
dor the members of the mission being pre-
sented 20 the Czar and subsequently
to tho Empress of Russia. Our spe-
cial details from st. Petersburg pos
sess melancholy interest just now
in consequence of the sudden demise OF Minis
ter Burlingame, and that, too, as Will De seen
from our letters, at the very moment when no
had attained the most important point in his
public career-the treatment Of the existing
Russo-Asiatic and imperial Chinese questions
piya coce with the Gear Alexander. Our
writer in Rome furnishes the current history
of the doings of the Papal Council, besides
telling the American people how the repre-
sentative Fathers 'live, move and have their
being" in the Eternal City. He speaks OF .
'spretty good time all round, but with slight
| inclination towards the fallible.

JAMES LEE, who killed William Kane at the
Bank Coffee House in Grand street, was tried
and acquitted yesterday, the jury returning
verdict without leaving their seats. Kane, 1t
seems, had been maltreating the prisoner
beyond endurance, and the latter, finding his
enemy maddened and desperate, shot him in
self defence. While it is well enough to show
such brutal murderers as Reynolds and Purcell
that hanging is not played out, we must not
be carried by feelings Of indignation to the ex-
treme of visiting death on all offenders. Under
the law there are cases where homicide is justi-
fable, and Lees was certainly one of these.

THE INCOME TAx.-The income tax is to be
reduced to three per cent, and there is 3
probability that two thousand dollars will be
exempted. That is just what the people want.
It will take the tax off the shoulders of all who
feel it ss an oppression, and make it begin
just where its payment Is not taken out of the
little comforts of careful families.

LATER ABOUT LoPEz.-Judging by the latest
news from Paraguay, Lopez is not in SO bad
plight as former despatch would imply. We
are now told that he still holds his own against
the Brazilians. Be this as it may, however, Of
one thing we feel satisfied, that whether the
news be false or true, it will be contradicted by
s'still later news from Paraguay"

WEST POINT AND THE WAR.-At intervals
since the rebellion there have been aurries
made in Congress over the alleged disloyal
tendency of West Point. Some extremely
radical members have even urged that the
Academy should be abolished in order that it
shall rear and educate no more Davises or
Lees; but they forget that in that case 1t could
no longer rear any more Grants, Shermans,
Sheridans or Thomases. A correspondent
furnishes us with statistics showing that Of the
living graduates in and out Of the army when
the rebellion commenced twenty-five per cent
went to the Confederacy, thirty-three per cent
of tho whole having been appointed from the
slave States This is a good enough showing
and we doubt il Yale or Harvard could do
better, especially when we remember that
some Of the veteran radicals themselves at the
commencement Of the rebellion favored letting
the ''erring sisters slide," although they did
not 20 to the rebellion themselves,

Tho Fifteenth Amendment aad she -S's'N
Vote In the Coming State Eioctiens.

The Fifteenth Aucndmons anu ING
Vote In tho Coming State Elections.
According to our special advicas g9@ y Asa- sxs
ington q bill will shortly be passed by Congress
to enforce the fifteenth amendment In the
several States and Territories Tas subject
vas brought up before the Judiciary Com
mittee Of the House the other day, when Mr.
Bingham argued that the only onJect sousn'
was to overcome the local laws OF the states
SO that the negroes. Il, could yets, ssHHa Y eass'
penalties against all persons conniving to pre-
vent the negroes from voting, In contravention
of the fifteenth amendment This, he said,
was accomplished by his bill, and such bill,
he contended, was necessary, because the
amendment itself did not carry any punishment
with it to persons who might choose to evade
OF defy it. Judge Davis, of the committee,
did not think the bill referred to sufficiently
explicit, and 30 on; from all which we may
safely assume that law will shortly be passed
to enforce said amendment.
What, then, will be the effect of this negro
vote in the several States in which the negro
~ wholly OF 10 great eAteut eAchuou Hon
the ballot box is the question we are called to
consider. 1t Is estimated that under this new
amendment the black vote Of the United States
will not be less than eight hundred thousand.
The bulk of it is in the late slave States. 1t
is strongest in the cotton States, surprising
the white vote in several of them, and is q
formidable element in all of them. The anti
republican forces in those States, democrats
or conservatives as they may be called, will
probably win over q large portion of this black
element to their side in the interval to their
elections for the next Congress- but the
Northern and Southern border State demo
cracy have as yet made no signs, except
those of continued hostility to 'the blasted
nigger."
Yet it is possible that the Northern and
Southern border State democracy Iuay lose
half a dozen States or more BY this foolish
policy Of hostility to the negro on the old
democratic ground of the Dred Scott decision.
According to the census of 1860 the colored
population in the States named was as

A NEW BAvAEIAN MINISTRY.A cable
despatch which will be found In our columns
this morning informs us that Count Bray has
been entrusted with the formation Of Minis
try. We do not know what the Counts
chances are, but we do know that Count Ho-
henlohe, who has done 80 much to set Bava-
ria in tune with the political music of the age,
is played out. This is ono of those situations
which now and again present themselves and
which call for patience. Count Hohenlohe
was perhaps little too keen; but he was not
altogether. as Bavaria will soon have to con-
fess, out Of harmony with the times.

DowLING WIDE AwAKE.AThe use Of the
pistol is becoming SO common and has such
alarming consequences that no opportunity to
punish 1t should be lost, and therefore the
policeman who arrested man charged with
an assault with pistol did well but Judge
Bowling did = great deal better when he
nipped in the bud an arrangement by which
the policeman made himself go-between
from the accused person to the citizen making
the proposition that the latter should with
draw his charge. We are pleased to see that
the Judge believes that there Is public
interested in the punishment Of these ARRAYS.

The CASE OF GEoRGIA.-The Senate Judi
ciary Committee has made report declaring
the present Legislature Of Georgia, which was
convened and organized under the radical
dspensation putting the State back under a
military government, to be good deal worse
than the old one, which upset all radical
expectations by the rejection of the colored
members. The committee, like the old man
who found himself in predcament where he
could not even swear for vexation, despair of
doing the subject justice. They think no
further steps need be taken towards recon-
structing Georgia. They prefer to let her go
to the bad her own way If she must go. They
are tired of showing her the true path, and,
like an abstruse conundrum, they give her up.

A STUPENDoUs JoB.--Mr. Slocum, who
originally moved the sale Of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, is appointed, with another, sub
committee to draw bill for the sale, &c. In
this there is jobbery that amounts to Millions
and we hope that Mr.. Slocum, who started the
inquiry that has put two or three carpet bag
gers out of the House, will not now give occa-
sion for a new inquiry into the honesty Of
members.

THE SUPREME BENCH NOMINATION. Brad
ley is not yet confirmed as Judge of the
Supreme Bench, the Senate having yester-
day deferred further consideration of his
appointment. Tie main objection to him is
his being Northern man and the South
claiming representative on the. Bench. Is
there not little of the old State rights
sectionalism in this? President Grant, we
think, has shown desire to discountenance
this sectional feeling by~various appointments,
such as two Cabinet members from Massachu-
sets, like Hoar and Boutwell,, and other MEM
bers from democratic States, like Fish and
Robeson. The President most likely is trying
to instil broad national idea into Congress
and the people--one knowing no South or
North, but comprehending that the glory Of ono
section is the glory Of all.

WHERE WAS THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR P
Another instance of the want Of public prose-
cution has led to the escape Of the criminal in
case of homicide. Hartnett operated on
Hermann's head with hatchet in December.
Hermann rightly enough, perhaps, did not
consider his head of much account and refused
to make charge, but Hartnett was held
until Hermann left the hospital apparently
well and then was given his liberty. Her.
mann returned to the hospital little while later
and died, but Hartnett was gone. All this is
done as if there was no such thing as the
public peace to be cared for-as if chopping
heads was entirely private matter.

THE BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS INDUCED
in little parliamentary fun yesterday. The
jokes were rather grim and in the interest of
corporate monopolists. The pleasantly of

standing. Having got rid Of the Church estab-

gion of warm overcoats after the fashion Of the
Rev. Mr.. Stiggins and Mr.. Weller, Sr.

THE ONEIDA DISASTER conduct of tho
captain of the steamer Bombay, which ran
down the Oneida, looks all the worse the moro
we see of it. He must be very careful and
attentive captain who knows so little OF what
happens to his ship that he can collide with
another with such force as to drive timber
completely through the side of his own snip AZ
the water line, and hardly be aware OF tne Cur
cumstance. But we believe this captains
ignorance of the collision and his haste to
leave the scene of the occurrence has another
explanation. In case of such a collision at
sea the owners Of his ship might become liable
for damage done to the other ship, and the
captain ran away from the accident in the hope
to escape neutrality-suspicious., let us hope,
not thinking that such fearful loss of life might
ensue. This explanation does not say much
for the captains manly spirit, but it is the only
one consistent with his sobriety.

hand. The balustrades of the platform are
injured in few places. The guides house
is comparatively uninj jured. Ascending higher
the damage is somewhat greater, few balls
having broken away two or three stone steps
and q number Of small ornamental columns
Many soldiers climbed up to Just below the
weathercook itself.
No one can doubt for moment that the
splendid edifice has been taken good care of
by the German marksmen. The Minister is
the largest building in the city, and can be
seen from all the German batteries. At first
Commandant Uhrich persisted in placing an
observatory upon the platform, from which
a telegraphic wire communicated with the
headquarters. All the movements of the
Germans could thus be distinctly observed;
and the probability is that the sacred edifioe
would never have been fred at kbut for
this. 1t was also thought that from this plat
form the garrison held communication with
points of observation in the Vosges Noun
tains The view, as all travellers remember,
is very extended, being bounded on the east
by the Schwarzwald, on the west and north
by the Vosges and the Ottilienberg, and far
southwark by the range of the Jura. 1t was
from here the watchman had first seen the
French soldiers running into the city after
the battle of Woerth. The city had just then
hardly thousand men in it's garrison, and it
is now admitted that had the Germans known
their opportunity Strasburg would have fallen
into their hands almost without shot.
