TIE SENATE IN JUDGMENT


The third and most serious stage in the i'm
portant Judiciary reformation going on in this
State was reached yesterday, at Albany, after
| long and dsheartening delay. 1t was begun
nearly year ago by the public press with
| only the clear and immediate purpose OF cor
Iecting by indignant exposure the glarlng
| abuses of the systems of Referees and ke-
ceivers which, introduced into practice by
| Barnard and Cardozo, had become fiagrant
| under the Ring. Success in that effort I'M
pelled a few score honest members OF the bar,
half in shame at the degradation OF their pro-
fesson, half in Indignation at the demorallza-
ton and ruin of all legal practice, to accuse
the two Judges most closely identified with
the outrages, of corruption and malfeasance.
Subsequently Judges McCunn and Curtis, at
first held less criminal, were involved in Ike
charges, and finally no less than five OF these
were put upon their defense before Commit
tees of the Assembly. One confessed Judg-
ment by hasty resignation; three OF the others
were yesterday arTagned before the Senate,
sitting as a Court; and ono awaits trlal next
week.
The indignation which first demanded and
then forced reform did not hesitate over
means to secure it, and much acrimOny and
bitterness marked the first steps taken. We
are glad to see evidences that the Senate ap-
nroaches the actual trial in mOIe serious and
not less determined though possibly less In
dignant mood, and that the trials which we
believe are to secure us, no matter how they
may result, welcome publication of the
Bench, are to be conducted with the dignity
belonging to the body and the dispasslonate-
ness due to the grave occasion. We are con-
fident the legal proof to be submitted Is ample
to secure the conviction of all the accused; II
it is not, afier the late ample inquiry, they
ought to escape, and if resort is had to
passion OF political influence we hope they
will escape. Already the Senate has displayed
its impartiality by deciding in favor of the
people the important point that proof OF cor
rupt acts committed in former terms
may be submitted in evidence to
sustain the present impeachmeDts, and
the prosecution is at liberty to review the
whole judicial career of each judge accused.
This decision, though made in the case of
Judge Prindle only, is precedent applicable
to the cases of McCunn, Curtis, and Barnard.
This is an important point gained and out
weighs in value TO the refOrmers the adverse
action taken yesterday, which requires the
counsel for the people to reproduce in evil
dence the facts presented to the Assembly
Committee. Some delay may be occasioned
by this requirement, but with the power to
compel attendance of the unwilling wit
nesses who testified before the Judiciary
Committee, there need be no occasion for
doubling, and little difficulty, we should think,
in making out a stronger case than ever. But,
at any rate, let the testimony be strengthened
by all fair and legal means, for in this final
trial of these ihpeachments there can be no
true and honest dependence save in the
strength of the proof submitted.

It seems to us that international contests should
he about something of some consequence. France.
fairly beaten in arms, has revenged herself by the
publication in book form, of begging letters sent
10 Louis Napoleon in the days of his prosperity by
Germans. Germany proposes to retort by printing
begging letters sent by FrenOhmen to the Emperor
William and Prince Bsmark. Among these is a
letter from French anthor by the name of Border,
who some years ago wanted to dedicate book to
the King of Prussia. Is not this rather childish
sort of controversy

the conduct of literary Quarterly published in ST.

though it was admired and praised the approval OF
its friends did not take that numsmatic fom which

Mr.. Stewart, concluding that he had burned enough
incense to an ungrateful muse, went into business
the magazine went into liquidation, and, as usual in
such cases, the Province went into mourning. The
stricken citizens have just given Mr.. Stewart a
superb banquet in which tho most prominent peo-
pie have 1ndulged in fattering regrets of such
warmth and earnesness that it seems incredible the
Quarterly should have died. The American Consul

The Rey, Edward F. Berldey has recently been
tried in ST. Louis on certain charges" We do not
remember what they were, and it is of no conse-
quence, inasmuch as his brethren found him not
guilty. He received good many letters OF sympa-
thy and encouragement during his trouble and
among them one from the Rev. DIR. Mccullough,
which is published and is of a sharp and spicy char
acter. Dr. Mccullough goes into the philosophy OF
the matter. de observes that fires, suicides steam
boat disasters, railroad accidents, murders, burglar
les, cholera smallpox, and other atrocities, VII
lainies, and accidents, come periodically and cpl
demcally." "TheD," he continues, why not SLAM

comforting his unfortunate brother by neat and
ingenious implication. "Who," he asks, "eyer

Touching things are always happening to exiles.
At Woolwich, in England, the other day. two
Frenchmen were charged with exhibiting bear in
the streets to the danger of the public There was
evidence that the animal had not only alarmed
many of the inhabitants, but had frightened several
horses. The magistrate was in a quandary. If

Guilty. it was suggested to place the creature in
charge of the usher; but against this the usher en-
tered a strong caveat The prisoners, who
could not understand one word of English,
stated through an interpreter that they
were natives of Brittany, and were travelling to
Chiselhurst to see the Emperor, after which they
meant to return to France and take ship for America
Promising TO make the best of their way out OF the
country, they were discharged. The Imperial exile
has not so many friends left that he can afford to
miss the sight and the sympathy of these poor bear
leaders, but the bear himself an exile and in chains
would have excited most forcibly the sympathes of
the ex-Imperia household. sthe depOsed monarch
looked at the bear and the bear at the depOsed
monarch, each might have sympathized with the
other, and both have lamented their hard fate in
unison. Yet would not the Bonaparte bosom have
felt some little touch Of envy since the bear was

No reader of THE TRIBUNE needs to be reminded
of the cordial words in which we have repeatedly
EXPRESSED our admiration Of the work done In this
CITY by the Young Mems Christian Association. Its
Secretary Mr.. McBurney, has waited upon US to
complain Of the statements of fact in an editorial on
the recent Convention of Young Mems Christian AS
sociations which appeared in yesterdays TRIBUNE.
He admits that the structures therein contained
would be justified if the facts as stated, but
denies that the reports on which we commented
were correct. What THE TRIBUNE said was this:
The Young Mems Christian Association in the Con-
vention at Lowell proposed, on Saturday last
TO make simultaneous attack on alcohol, To-
bacco, and the Pope; the assaults To be made

Mr. Lewis i. Allen has written to a Buffalo paper
to say that having subscribed to The TRIBUNE four
months ago. he thinks nOE he ought to have his
money back because he is in favor of Gen. Grant
and THE TRIBUNE is not. He laments that IIIE
TRIBUNE did not print this financial policy OF MS
He saws he does not care for the money. and 1t Is
noticeable fact that this kind of person never
does; but ne wants to- know. "in order to
govern bis future newspaper conduct" We thought
we had already made this matter 80 clear that way
faring man, though he be an Allen, could not err
therein. When a man subscribes for The TRIBUNE
he gets good deal more than the worth OF his money
in fresh, trustworthy, and impartial news, and IN
decent and conscientious discussion OF public mat
ters He does not gain the slightest control over
the editorial columns He does not acquire the
right 10 be consulted in regard to the course
credit TO our ministry. 1t Is not pleasant
of the paper If ever we call upon Mr. Allen for
any assistance in that way it will be on account of
his shining qualities of head and heart and not on
account Of his subscription. There is no way IN
which this mpenitent soul escape the benehcent
ministratons of the great moral engine, until the
numbers be has paid for have been sent to him. Then
he can proceed to govern his future newspaper con-
duct" in his own way We trust he Will not
renew his subscription. He does not DO
to think q man can have read The TRIBUNE
so long and remain 80 blandy absurd and ignorant.
Let him subscribe for Grants Own" 1t is better
suited to the caliber OF his mind. 1t needs sub

settlement of the Paraguayan account Brazil,

The most preposterOus of the late devices
wherewith, one after another, the schemes
for the defeat of the Cincinnati nominees
aflict the public ear, is one for some sort OF

Else, as the voter should elect. We do not propose
20 waste words with it. The contest lies between
Grant and Greeley. Whoever is not for the

It is not easy to explain the alarming fact
that the attendance at the Boston Jubilee is
not 80 great as was expected. Certainly great
crowds have poured into the city, but our spe-
cial dispatches show that they have there dis
appeared; they have not been seen at the con-
certs. Perhaps the cavernOus Coliseum swal-
lows them and makes no sign they are lost in
its vast spaces. But the melancholy fact re-
mains that the performers largely outnumber
the audience. Meanwhile, Art, which owns
no stock in the show, may be consoied; the
performances improve in quality, and the
music was better yesterday than on the day
before.
