legal proof 1t is often found in glaring
crimes that, while the main track is safely
covered up, some little bypath, which, from
its very insignifcance, has been left un-
guarded, leads to the detection of the guilty.
The Harlem Court House fraud may be COM
paratively trifing when viewed in the light Of
the Ingersoll and Garvey robberies; but,
probably, owing to this very fact, 1t may
suffice to draw down upon the heads Of the
public plunderers the penalties Of violated
law. Some four or five millions may have
been stolen in the City Park, while the
plunder of the Harlem Court House only
amounts to o quarter of million. Yet both
are grand larcenies, and it will be just as well
to convict on one complaint as on the other.
Let Tweed and Connolly be called to account
by the Grand Jury in this minor swindle, if
the evidence should be found conclusive
against them, and then the path will be made
clear for more important prosecutions. Let
us strike at the municipal guerillas through
any opening that their armor may afford, how
ever slight it may be, and their destruction is
assured.

The only unpleasant circumstance connected
with the visit Of the Grand Duke Alexis to the
United States is the obnoxious attitude in which
the Russian Minister. Mr.. Catacazy, stands to
the Executive Department Of this government.
Semi-official statements from Washington have
represented MIR. Catacazy as having made
most offensive remarks against the President
and the Secretary Of State, so that 1t be-
came impossible to hold any further
official or personal relations with him.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Catacazy denies the soft
impeachment, and the official journal Of st.
Petersburg, in recent article, stated that no
proofs of tho alleged offence had been laid be-
fore the Russian government, the announce
lment that General GorloA, the military repre-
sentative of Russia in this country, has been
placed in charge of the Legation, indicates the
existence Of an understanding that Mr..
Catacazy's official functions in Washing
ton should cease as soon as the Grand
Duke was presented to the President. That
duty has been performed, and hardly have the
imperial party left the capital than we have
the announcement, which seems to bear .
semi official impress, that Mr.. Catacazy's
diplomatic career in. Washington Is ended.
He will, however, accompany the Grand Duke
in his tour through the United States; but it
is understood that he will speedily follow His
Imperial Highness back to st. Petersburg.

The following special despatch to the
HERALD has been received from our corre-
spondent In the capital of Germany
BERLIN, Nov. "a, 1871.
A state Of general uneasiness prevails in the
public mind here, and Is extending to the
neighboring capitals, on the subject of the
more immediate results of the diplomacy which
is maintained by the German empire towards
France.
Prince Bismarck engages himself in pri-
vately advocating continuance of the syste m
of military preparation for war.
The recent action of the members of the
Prussian Reichstag in voting the prolongation
Of the military budget on war estimate for a
space of three years contemplates, it is said, q
speedy reoccupation of the six departments of
France which were hostaged to the Germans
at the termination of the war.
Bismarck advocates this important move
ment for the reason that he sees that the
tenure of authority by the Theirs government
in France is very precarious.

REVIVAL OF THE BROADWAY RAILROAD
SCHEME. There Is good reason to believe
that the opposition of certain politicians to
the Viaduct Railway project, and the threat
ened attempt to procure the repeal of the law
passed last winter for the construction Of that
great work, are the preliminary steps Of an
effort to obtain from the next Legislature
charter for Broadway railroad. This
favorite scheme of the lobbyists, in which
many millions of dollars are believed to be
contained, has been for years standing
applicant for legislative favor, and has been
taken hold of and pushed by all parties, from
~. Tvs of Jacob Sharpe down to the present
fine Tv,ss z PASSED both houses, but was
met by veto In the Executive Chamber;
the last time at the hands Of Governor Sey-
mour, who made many bitter enemies by the
act. On every occasion republican journal
in this city, now leading the crusade against
the viaduct, has had an interest in the bill, and
IL has at times been engineered by some of
the stockholders Of that paper. The agitation
for the repeal of the viaduct Railway charter
now means the revival Of the old Broadway
Railroad project in the approaching session.
The people OF New York can judge for them
selves which Of these two works will be the
most beneficial to property and the most
useful to our citizens.

Hardshcll and SOrtsheIl Democrats.

A Constant Reader" refers to our late
editorial allusion to Chief Justice Chase as
now belonging to the hardsheIl democrats,
and asks us to explain the difference between
hardshell and sofishell democrats. We will.
Under Pierces administration the democracy
of this State were divided into the two factions
of hardshells and softshells. The hardshells
were so called because they were hard on the
slavery question, going the whole South
Carolina sandhier's doctrine of ''damn q
nigger, anyhow" The softshelIs were so
called because they were rather soft on
the questions Of slavery and free soil, and
were inclined to the idea that even q
niger had some rights (which white man
was bound to respect" This explains our
late remark to the effect that Chief Justice
Chase would no longer serve to bring over
republicans to the democratic camp, because
he has become bardshel democrat, while in
1868 he was the very man wanted by the
democracy, because he was softshell,
fresh from the transition state of the shedder
Any one who knows anything Of crabs will
understand these terms-hardshell, shedder
and softshell. The hardshell crab, though
good enough in its way, is compared with the
softshell, a very inferior article. The shedder
is the crab just at that point where he is ready
to cast off his coat OF mail and come out
softshell The softshel is the crab just out of
his coat of mail, soft, fat and pulpy, even
his claws being SOFT eatable and delicious.
But old crabbers say that softshelI crab,
after basking few hours In the sun near the
sandy shore in the warm, shallow water, begins
to harden, and that In less than two days he
becomes . regular hardshell. So it is with
Chief Justice Chase as democrat-in 1867
he was shedder; in 1868 he was softshell;
but in 1871 he has become regular hardshel,
and will not serve as bait for your dainty re-
publican. Hence the new agitation among the
democrats for softshell Presidential candi-
date, or q shedder fresh from the republican
pool.
