The Rumored Design OF the Impeachment
Of President Grant.

The Rumored Design OF the Impeachmenr nj
Of President Grant.
The reported combination movement of the
disaffected republicans and the democrats of
Congress for the impeachment of President
Grant has in 1t the elements Of great politi-
cal agitation, and, perhaps, Of great political
revolution. The parties concerned in the
scheme, and the grounds Of their contem-
plated action on the st. Domingo imbroglio,
as reported by our Washington correspondent.
make out very plausible case, both for the
projected impeachment and in view Of the
chances of it's success as irebrand in the re-
publican camp. There are many republicans in
both houses of Congress whose first desire Is
the defeat of General Grant as o candidate
for another term. They, perhaps, see that
as he cannot be defeated in the regular
party convention, nor by the democrats in the
election, some bolder expedient must be
adopted to cut him off. They, perhaps,
expect that in this impeachment scheme, If
nothing else is accomplished, great agitation
may be raised, which will so split up and dis
organize the administration party as to give
the coming national election to the combined
opposition forces by heavy majority.
We await further Information on the sub
ject. Let us hear, not that some democrat is
going to lead off in this movement in the
House of Representatives, but that some re-
publican has authorized the fact to be made
known that he will take the initiative, and
we shall know that mischief is afoot
If the Senate possessed the initiative on
impeachments we should have had from Mr..
Sumner or Mr.. Schurz an indictment, with
long string of specifications, against General
Grant at the last session; but the initiative
belongs to the House, and when we hear of
republican in that body bold enough to make
the venture and resolve to try it we shall be
ready for a great commotion. Impeachment
resolutions from democrat would be quietly
laid on the table, and that would be the end of
them; but republican, in taking the lead,
backed by strong force of ant-Grant repub-
lcans would ''make Rome howl" We walt
for further information.

Significant Speech of the Gear Of Russia
and Order In Europe.
His Majesty the Gear of Russia has de-
livered speech on the subject of the con-
dition of the relations which exist between his
of Germany. Setting aside the forms and
usages of Cabinet diplomacy, the Russian po-
tentate has made a public personal pro-
fesslon of his good will towards the great
power which Prussia has matured at
his side. The expression is of the
most pointed significance, particularly
so at the present grand crisis in the history of
the governments and peoples of the Old
World. The name. and moment of its pro-
nouncement are remarkable. The Gar
attended at the anniversary banquet given by
the Knights of the Order of st. George
founded by the Empress Catherine-in st.
Petersburg. He proposed toast to ''The
Health Of the Emperor of Germany" The
Gear prefaced the compliment with an ad-
dress in which he said that ''the intimate
lTieHuSuip WHICH, eAiSIS UctWecu tue EinperOT
Of Germany and himself would last as long
as they lived;" he hoped it would be
''transm to future generations by
their successors" and that the fraternity of
the armies Of Germany and Russia-which
''dates from an ever-memorable epoch
would be perpetual, thus giving guarantees
for the maintenance Of peace and legal order
in Europe" No public man could be more
explicit than the Czar-very few of the
professional statesmen of the day would say SO
much. Russia and Germany are one in senti
ment, as they will most likely be in policy
when proper moment arrives for the COM
plete fruition of the national union. Judging
from the words Of the Gear, as they have
reached us by cable telegram, we incline to
the opinion that the cause of radical democracy
is in danger in Europe. With the Courts of
communion French republicanism must be
very watchful for the preservation of its life.
The illusions to the former sever- memorable
epoch" and "the future maintenance of peace
and legal order in Europe" recall the remem-
brance of the era of the allied occupation of
Paris, and premonish the radicals of the pre-
sent day of the vast power of the imperialist
pacifcators and the probability that ''order"
may be made to reign generally in Europe
and the East, from St. Petersburg TO Frank
fort and from Berlin to Paris and Con-
stantinople.

lished to-day would not satisfy oil. AS little,
however, would the monarchy or the empire.
What better course, then, can be followed
than to prolong the existence Of the present
provisional government?
The great trouble, however, is that the
French people and the French political fac
tions are not so wise as they ought to be.
What should be done is more or less clear.
What will be done is in the last degree uncer-
tain. From later despatch we learn that
the Princes of the House of Orleans have
yielded to the remonstrances of the President
and have promised for the present not to take
their seats. This, we think, is we'll. But it
leaves things as unsettled as ever What
If the Orleanists in the Assembly should
insist on pushing matters to q final
settlement What if the Emperor Napoleon
should some of these mornings effect land
ing on the French coast, and the old mar shals
Of the empire, with MacMahon at their head
and the entire army Of France at their back,
should hoist the imperial eagle and proclaim
the empire restored2 These are not improba-
bilities. The fact is that an uprising in favor
Of Napoleon is one of the main causes of the
present alarm. The Orleanists are impatient
of delay, because delay is in the interest of
the empire. Should President Theirs honestly
make the attempt to carry out his new pro-
gramme we wish him all the success which he
deserves but we have an honest conviction
that the present government has been a fail
ure, that the political factions are as yet ire
concilable and that France is on the verge Of
another revolution.

The Edict Against tho Proposed Intcrna
tIounl ProcessiOn-Wha Fore

The Edict Against tho Proposed Interna-
tIonaI Professionalism Fore
Our Police Commissioners have issued an
edict forbidding the proposed International
procession, which was appointed for this day,
as an expression Of popular indignation
against the recent execution at Versailles of
General Rossel and other Communists. We
are surprised at this high-handed proceeding
of the Police Commissioners. We had sup
posed that the lesson given them in the public
indignation excited against Superintendent
Kelso's order No. 81, of last July, for the sup
preston Of the Orange procession, would be
remembered by our police authorities for at
least year or two. But as they seen to have
forgotten that affair We will remind them Of
the essential facts in the case.
The order was issued in the evening but
the general outburst of the public indignation
through the city newspapers the next morning,
against this invasion of the reserved consttu-
tional rights Of the people, was q warning
which Governor Hoffman felt himself called
upon to respect He accordingly interposed
his authority as the Governor, in proclama-
ton revoking said police order, and notifying
the Orangemen that they were not only free
TO carry out their proposed procession, bnt
that by all the powers which he could COM
mand, as chief executive officer of the State
they should be protected In their rights in the
premises. We know what followed. 1t was q
day of bloody work, that 18th of July but
the constitutional right of the people ''peace-
ably to assemble" regardless of race creed or
nationality, was vindicated and confirmed.
Why this interdct2 Is 1t because these
Iuternationals In their Sunday parade, would
interfere with the rights of Others in their
religious duties? If so, this reason is no
justification Of the act for the general rights
of the people ''peaceably to assemble" are
not suspended on Sunday. Moreover, from
time immemorlal down to the famous ''Bill
Poole" turnout, and from "Bill Poole's"
funeral parade down to this day, Sunday has
been the favorite day for funeral professions
Ia this city; and this proposed International
affair may be properly classed with this order
Of professions. Let these Internationals,
then, appeal from our Police ommissioners
to Governor Hoffman, and ask Of him the
right, which all other parties have exercised
in this city without dispute-the right to have
their funeral procession on Sunday, and We
cannot doubt that the Governor will stand BY
them and revoke the police order in this case.
as he did in the case of last July.

Tho Consolly Case q, Albany.

The argument in the Connolly case at Al
bany was concluded yesterday, and Judge
Learned took the papers, signifying that he
should make his decision as speedily as possf-
BILE. The proceedings show the insuficiency
of any civil suit in the case of the city frauds.
Everybody knows that the public treasury has
been robbed of millions of dollars BY
means of fraudulent vouchers and forged
Warrants that the robberies were planned
and executed in the Comptroller's Office; that
the parties supposed to be concerned in them
have grown in few years from poor men
into millionnaires and yet, at this hate day,
months after the crimes have been discovered,
we find host of learned lawyers before
Court arguing technical points as to whether
the State has any right to sue Tweed
or whether Connolly can be legally
arrested on this or that affidavit.
If two poor men had stolen hun
dred dollars apiece by means of a forged
check or fraudulent order they would have
been arrested, committed by magistrate and
sent to Sing Sing. No person would have
thought of suing them in civil action to
recover back the plunder. The only way to
deal with criminal is through the criminal law;
and now that the Albany argument has closed
the people will be glad to hear from Judge
Bedford's Grand Jury. They can reach the
core Of the matter yiithogt ttschnicalities aud
without lawyers. Judge Bedford has done
his duty in affording them full time to COM
plete the work before them. and he will give
them more if they need it. Let them act fear
lessly and honestly, and there will be no
further need of nice legal points on one side
or the other. When the guilty parties are in
a criminal jail there will be no difficulty in
recovering the money they have stolen.

WARDS New GROUP OF STATUARY.-A
happy exception to the hideousness OF which
the HERALD has often complained, as charac-
terzing most Of the public statues erected in
this city, is found In the white marble group
that now stands out in beautiful relief against
the heavy, massive granite of the Equitable
Building on Broadway. An emblem of the
idea Of which the massive building is itself
monument, 1t represents female figure of
exquisite proportions protecting with shield
a mother and child. 1t thus artistically
symbolizes the protecting shield which life
insurance holds over the widow and the father
;/ss. Executed In Italy, after model by the
celebrated American sculptor, J. Q. A. Ward.
Il was cut from q single block of Carrara
marble Of perfect purity. II was first unveiled
as the Grand Duke Alexis was passing before
II on the day Of his reception IN New York.
The example of the Equitable Society might

senseless carvings that disfgure so many of
our conspicuous buildings. Let the face Of
each structure be made plain and massive,

such splendid and significant work Of art. The

TIE PRINCE OF WALEs.-Our latest reports
Of the condition of the Prince of Wales have
revived the hope that he may possibly re-
cover. The probabilities, however, are SO
heavily against him that we fear that at any
moment we may get the tidings Of his death.
Meantime, from the universal public sympa-
thy awakened for the Prince, the unhappy
Queen and the royal family, whether life or
death Is the issue of this severe ordeal of dis
ease through which the Prince is passing it is
morally certain that the British monarchy
will. at least for some time, be strengthened
by political reaction in its favor against the
radical agitators Of the great cities of England.
Should the Prince live it is hoped that he will
become wiser man than he has been; and
In the event Of his death, the public mind
being prepared for it, we apprehend no dis
turbances or serious excitements in the British
islands touching the government under the
Queen, nor in reference to the regency by
which, soon or late, she must be succeeded.
