DESIGNATING CINCINNATT.

About this time, expect rumOrs. The IN
dustrious gentlemen who, from Washington
Offices, speed their inventions on the wings OF
the lightning, will day by day tell the coun-
try how Shifty, and Shocks, and Chivers, had
meeting in that important city, and fixed
upon the candidates to be nominated at Gin
cinnati, and the platform on which they should
be presented to the country. When all
possible sensation has been created by this
fabrication they will put forth another and
another, up to the hour wherein further specu-
lation shall be precluded by action.
Understand, then, once for all, that the Gin
cinnati Convention willactin utter independence
of all cabals, and intrigues, and arrangements,
and bargains, and fiXings, whether at wash
ington or elsewhere. Until it meets and acts,
no one can know even that nomination will
be made by it, much less whom it will see fit
to nominate. Any suspicion that a estate"
has been made for it at Washington will
insure the breaking or uIat SLATE, at all events
All who are in sympathy with the Liberal
movement are invited to Cincinnati Dele
gates may be chosen from any locality; but
those who are not delegated may and will at
tend and participate. We judge that nothing
will be done in hurry, and that no nOmIna-
ton will be made unless there be we'll
grounded hope that the people demand and
will sustaiH il. Those present from each State
will doubtless organize as a delegation, with
q chairman and secretary, and will first
determine what candidates would be most
certain or most likely to carry their own
State, and then be ready to confer and
compare notes with others. II it be
decided that nomination shall be
made, then the Chairman of each delegation
viii be authorized to cast in its behalf as many
votes as its State is entitled to cast through its
Electoral College, so that the few members
present from Maine OF California shall not be
swamped by the many from OHIO or Missouri.
In short, no pains will be spared to collect and
embody public opinion, which may prove
quite other than that OF this or thai
CLIQUE III Washington. And any at
tempt to dictate this or that nomination
as demanded by outsiders, viii be resented as
impairment and mischicvOus. The Conven-
ton will be Republican; 80 viii the platform
and candidates. When tie Convention shall
have done its work, unawed and unmanaged,
Citizens OF all parties will scrutinize that work,
iUdge it, and say, each for himself, just how
much Of it, if any, meets his approval and Sc
cures his cooperation. But there viii be moth
ing cut and dried; or, il there should he, that
will be reprobatod and rejected.

ONE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The Evening POSt-which gives the Cincinnati
movement any quantity of advice, but no
hearty sympathy-stigmatizes One Term as
"no principle, but mere political fetch"
We are consoed under this rap by the reflec-
ton that good and wise men have thought
otherwise-De Tocqueville, for example. Gen.
Jackson, George McDuffie, George r. Gilmcr,
Benz. f. Wade, Charles Sumner, and many
other eminent Americans, have regarded this
question in a different light than that re-
fected from The Post.
The One-Tern principle (Ihe Post will ex-
cuse the term) ia recognized in our State Con-
stitution, where it has held a place for half q
century. A County Clerk may be reelected in
definitely; Sheriff cannot be reelected at oil.
Why this contrast7 Simply because the Sheriff
wields q patronage which would enable him
usually to cOerce denomination; the Clerk
has no such power. Therefore, the one is
made eligible to reelection the other Is not
At least seven States have, one after
another, prohibited the reelection of Gov
ernor while il office. Why so? Clearly, be-
cause a Governor is a dispenser of places and
it has been found by experience that Gov
ernor eligible to reelection is tempted to make
that of the public. And, if each State were
now to revise its constitution, we think many
more would restrict their Governors to One
Term.
We plead for One Term as IN act OF eman-
cipation. We would have our Presidents freely
chosen now, they are not. In this City, fer
instance, there arc three or four thousand
active, intelligent, efficient men holding Fed
eral Offices, or in some way drawing their sus-
tenance from the Treasury, who are entitled to
a voice in choosing President. Are they at lib
erty to he for Sumner, or Trumbull, or Charles
Francis Adams, or David Davis for our next
President You know they are not. Let
one of them say he prefers some one
else to the incumbent and he seals his
own official death-warrant. He is charged
with "hostility to the Administration" if not
with Opposition to the Government" He
must suppress his convictions or sacrifice his
daily bread We must break the bonds of this
slavery. We must restore to every man his
right to proclaim himself for 4 or y, G or ID,
according to his unbiased choice. And this
cannot he unless we restrict each President TO

by it, as by n0 other, in this county at least,
the poor have had the Gospel preached to
them. The black Methodists in two Of the
Southern States equal in number the colored
membership in all other churches throughout
the country; and it is probable that the at
traction which the fervid excitable tempera-
ment of the negro finds in the Wesleyan mode
of appeal will continue to make this church
always more successful with him than the
,,,ther sects COlored Methodists have always
becn allowed to have their ministry and
government, but ten years ago, there was not
a congregation outside Of that body either in
the Free or Slave States in which the black
man and the white met on absolutely equal
grounds. Our brethren who enter the churches
are losing caste prejudfces precisely at the
same rate and for the same reasons as Paddy
when he digs now uncomplainingly by Pompey
in the ditch, or his employer wien ne goes 10
hear Revels lecture. Conversion 20 hberallty
came when it was forced upon them, and
no sooner: not so spontaneously that they
can afford to sheer at the slower
moving Episcopalians. 1t will be long
time, we suggest, before that church
which holds decorum and dignity next
to godliness, confides her management TO
women or into any other hands whose steadi-
ness and executive ability have not been
thoroughly tested.
This is, after all, the secret of the difficulty
in Washington. In church affairs as well as
political and social life the cOlored man VIII
find he has yet to prove his strength and lit
ness before he can grasp the baton OF success.
Caste prejudice is in fact, among educated
people, far slighter and more brittle wall
than he supposes. But there is a universal
disposition, now that he is raised upon the
plane of citizenship with the white, to stand
aside and let him make his own way. The
sooner he sees this ard sets himself to work
the better. Like old Lucky, "Wp the help o.
"the Lord he has gaun over the ditch; but
"hc maun use his ain legs on the ither side"

HIRNNZO IND NHININ.

The connection between JUDGE CardCzo ard
tlle reference cases and recciverships given to
Mr.. Graft Nathan furnishes the strongest cir
cumstantial evidence Of direct corruption and
vulgar bribery. Mr.. Nathan is nephew Of
judge CGrdozo's wife, and sustains intimate
social relations with his distinguished kins-
man. They borrow money Of each other and
are much in each others company Mr..
Nathan confessed before the Judiciary Com
nittee that he deemed it no wrong to take
advantage of this good fortune by applying
to the Judge ont of court, in his house, in
his private Office, wherever in short he
Glanced to meet him, for cx-partc orders which
other attorneys were obliged to present at
Chambers: 81 thought it was entirely right
"t0 have the benefit of my personal relations
"with Judge CardCzO. and took the benefit"
So soon as Cardozo was appointed to the
bench, he began to "put things in the way"
Of Mr. Nathan. The latter gentleman did not
want rcceiverships; but it became an under
stood thing that CaVdOZo would make a prac-
ticc of appointing Bixby receiver, that Bixby
woald employ GITtz as counsel, and that the
fees of the counsel would be fixed by the
Judge. In the matter Of the Beekman Fire
Insurance Company, Mr.. Nathan suggested that
the plaintiff should apply TO Cardozo for the
appointment of receiver, and in his cXamiDa-
ton before the Committee he testified as fol-
lows:
az did So the object Tor II may have been that
Bixby should be appointed receiver knew the Judge
Was the hit of appointing him; expected in such q
case Mr.. Dixby would engage counsel; think
probably suggested that the application be made TO
Judge Cardozo."
In the matter OF The Astor Fire Insurance
Company, the evidence is still more interesting.
An application for the appointment Of re-
ceiyer seems to have been made in the regu-
lar way before Judge Brady but Nathan got
the job into his own hands by quietly obtain
ing an order from Cardozo, going to his
house late Saturday night with the bond, and
having it filed early Monday morning before
! the opening Of the court. He testifes as
follows:
80. Who was appointed receiver OF that Company
! A. Mr. Bixby.

COLORED CHNRCUES.

The religious press has been most irreligOusy
irritated during the last week or two by Il
reputed snubbng, which the Protestant Epis-
conal Church is said to have administered to its
colored members. A congregation OF coiored
people in Washington, ID. c., daily organized
according to the rules Of that church., are
reported 10 have applied, through their rector,
for admission to the Convention, and to have
been rejected on the ground that it was not
advisable that church should be composed
entirely of colored people. Thcreupon a
righteous storm of Indignation falls upon the
conservative old sect from Presbyterian,
Catholic, and Baptist, each claiming to have
been the true friend OF the slave. setting
forth what they have done for the freedmen,
and denOuncing the Convention for their
desire to make Il white mans heaven Now
this fervor is very commendable so long as it
reacts upon the freedmen but the truth is
our religious brethren stand in this matter
precisely on the same level. No sect ever
denied equal chances OF salvation to the black
q, to the white and before as since the war
they all have labOred faithfully among
the slaves, the Episcopal Church among
the foremost, especially in Virginia.
The majority of schools for the Freedmen
have been established under Quaker influence !;
Catholics and Presbyterians, with a success
limited of course by their numbers, were alike
Jealous in the missionary work among the
slaves. But, although it is only fair TO state
this fact, it is equally true that all of these
sects, while they have always exhibited due
concern for the soul of the colored man, have
shown very little respect for his brain, ad-
hitting the slave in the rarest instances to
any share in the government or ministry OF
| the church.
The policy of the Methodist body was differ
| ont. and Mcthodi5m, as everybody knows
who is at all conversant with the religious
condition of the South, has been tho modern
| St. Paul to unlock the gates OF salvation to
these black Gentiles. 1t seems to have re-
ceived the especial commission "What God

ages was not fairly settled. To all Lord Gran
ville's protestatons the House turned dee:
ear. The veteran Earl Russell came gal
lantly to the rescue of those interminable
letters in which he had tried to convince Mr..
Adams that we had no Case, and that he had
done all to stop the privateers which could
properly be done. He threatened to bring in
motion on the 2od calling upon the Queen
to suspend all action before tho Board until
tie United States withdraw their Case. The
Duke of Richmond also made speech which
goaded Lord Granville into piece of such
sound sense that we are astOnished to find it
in the mouth of diplomatist. He said
whether the Counter Case was presented or
not, the arbitration could 60 on. Lord Sails
bury also betrayed his fear of the strength of
our Case by saying that the Government had
lost its only chance of protesting against
our claims, and that there was nothing
now to prevent the ArbitratOrs from
awarding us sum in gross without
specifications. The whole debate was very
embarrassing and annoying to the Government,
but nothing was said to indicate the impossi-
bilty of the Case going On before the Board.
There is no prospect that the correspondence
between the two nations will accomplish any
thing. In the end the British Ministry will be
brought face to face with the question whether
they will bolt the Arbitration or not. The de-
bate of Saturday skirted about this question
on every side, but gave no hint of its prob
able decision

he seen that some of the changes proposed are
violent. and that the general complexion Of the
bill, as already heralded in advance, partakes
of the hue of the free trade division of the
committee
Judge Barnard has fair opportunity IN
THE TRIBUNE, to-day, to present his SIDE Oh
the case affecting his proposed impeachment
and removal. The Judge has always evinced
talent for refining and multiplying technical
objections to the last degree; and his defense
shows that this peculiar mental trait has not
deteriorated. 1t is set up, in behalf OF the
accused, that the Legislative Committee ig-
nored all rules of evidence in taking testi-
mony in this city against him; that he
was not allowed to present arguments
against the admissibility or competency OF
evidence; that the present inquiry was
merely preliminary, and that removal
without full trial would be unconstitutional.
Judge Barnard assumes that 1t is proposed TO
remove him under section eleventh OF the
With Article of tho Constitution, which pro-
vides that Justices of the Supreme Court, &C.,
may be removed by concurrent resolution Oh
"both Houses of the Legislature if two-thlrds
"of all the members elected to the Assembly
"and majority of all the members elected
g to the Senate concur therein" lie claims
that as it is further provided that no removal
shall be made "unless the party complained OF
"shall have been served with copy of the COM
"plaint against him, and shall have had an
opportunity Of being heard in his defense"
full trial before the Legislature must be had.
This would involve interminable proceedings
based upon formal complaint to be presented
to the Legislature by the Committee which
had charge of the original complaint. 1t will
he seen, therefore, that Judge Barnard inter
poses as a bar to further Legislative action
the plea that all proceedings up to this
time are irregular and informal. and that
his construction of the constitution must
be adopted if he is to be removed cOnstitu-
tionally. Whatever may be the intention Of
the Legislature, it is generally agreed that the
removal of Barnard by impeachment is the
only way in which that act can be made con-
elusive and crushing, morally and politically.
Aside from the legal question, however, the
defense is merely a weak bubble

1t is anticipated in Washington that the
ong-expccted opinion Of the Supreme Court
will not he favorable to the position taken by
Judge Mexican in the Utah Territorial Courts
1t will be lccolleoted that the question of the
legality OF many of the prosecutions
of prominent Mormons hinged on that of
isnpancling the jury by United States
officials, rather than by those Of the
Territory. The rejection OF the machinery of
the United States Courts in the suits against
the Mogmons compels an abandonment OF
these suits, as, Of course, they cannot be
successfully pushed while the jury is made up
by Mormon officials. In this view, the decision
OF The Court will be regretted; it vii! further
