WASHINGTON, D. c., June ls, ls72.-The
President was visited by quite a-number OF
persons this morning, some of whom Were
anxious to know his opinion OF political .af.
fairs in the doubtful State of Pennsylvania.
He expressed himself satisfied witIzthe pre-
sent condition of things, saying he believed
even If that State went against the party in
October they would rally and be successful
in November. 1,a.a. &.
Anticipations of sensation in the Cabinet
on the treaty question were dispelled by the
prompt assurances Of Cabinet officers that
there was nothing new in relation to that
topic spread before the meeting.
1t is yet an open question with the Presi.
dent us to whether he will leave Washing
ton tomorrow or remain here and hold an
other Cabinet session on Friday. It may be
decided by the tenor of dispatches from En
rope tomorrow. TIAoN.

RRIGGLJN1 JUDGES.

Judge Barnard objects to the presence OF
Samuel J. Tilden on the Committee preparing
evidence for the House, on which it is to de-
eide whether it will bring articles of impeach-
ment against him before the Constitutional
Court. Nothing could be more natural. Mr..
Tilden knows the outrages and corruption
whereof this notorious Judge has been guilty.
He will be able so to marshal the evidence as
that the ordering Of the impeachment will be
certain, Judge Barnard would be remark
able man if he did not wish to get rid of Mr.
Tilden But he will not. Judge Barnard
knows very little law, but he knows enough
to be perfectly conscious of the absurdity or
his charge Of unfairness. The Legislative
Committee is not Court. Judge Barnard Is
not on trial. This Committee is mere Grand
Jury, seeking evidence on which to bring an
indictment, and the presence OF man upon
it familiar with the evidence and certain OF
its bearings is an advantage, not detriment,
to the cause of justice. If Mr.. Tilden were
member Of the Court which is to try
Judge Barnard, and which. we doubt not, Will
convict him, the complaint might have a
seeming basis. But his present position is that
of quasi prosecutor, and no man in New
York is in this particular case better fitted for
the work.
Neither this futile effort to blind the public
sense of justice, nor the liberal efforts
to corrupt the Judiciary Committee now in
progress will succeed; but we beg the
members of this Committee to understand that
the raising of fund to buy them up is well
known in New-York, and that no action they
may take will escape the scrutiny Of people
resolved that this thing shall not blow over
If any member is anxious for Infamy at the
least possible cost, let him barely touch the
tips of his fingers to the dirty money raised
TO purchase peace for the corrupt Judges.
New-York tribune., 1872-02-26
~ur MAYOR IN TIE DOCK.

-, e IL. Oakley Hall Tor grave
misdemeanor in officially approving and paszluy
forged and fraudulent bills against or City,
whereby her taxpayers were defrauded, Is set
down for this morning, and VIC trust there will
be no further postpOnement on any pretext
whatever. The Mayor peremptorily insists on
being tried; the public insists that he ought
to be tried; the case presented in the indict-
ment seems very simple and narrow in COM
pass; and there will be general and just in
dignation If it be again postponed, or il 1t
fail through any tcchnicality whatever. The
Attorney General leads, through the counsel for
the State chosen to repreent him there are facts
enough developed whereon to base an indict-
mept and we should suppose that Oakley might
be convicted on his own public, repeated admis-
siOns-if the record is properly made up. But,
whether guilty or innocent of legal offense,
he ought surely to be either convicted or
acquitted without further delay. A Mayor may
be criminal, Pike any one else; but an innO-
cent Mayor should not remain under indiCt-
ment, and a criminal should not continue to be
Mayor.
Abstractly, high official in the dock is a
wholesome spectacle. Byron, in his Vision OF
Judgment" says it is well to
"see If kings may mt he damned, like me or you"
We know that the republicans of Europe
were exhilarated by the spectacle of our Presi-
dent, Andrew johnson, on trial before the
Senate; they rejoced at this proof that there
was country wherein Law was higher than
any personal authority or power. Let us hope
that Halls trial may further exemplify this
truth.
For, whoever may sit on the bench, the
Judiciary as well as the Executive Of our City
will to-day be put on trial. Either the scales
of Justice viii be held as even and
true as when Fiddler Jack or Ostler
Mike is on trial for an alleged larceny, or
New York will be disgraced as no Tweed or
Connolly had ever power to disgrace her.
Millions will watch this trial expressly to see
whether the bandage over the eyes of Justice
is thick enough to prevent her recognizing
and defcrring to the Office which Hall is
charged with prostituting to the qualification
of other mems venality and his own ambition.
Let us presume nothing, but patiently, can
didly observe
New-York tribune., 1872-02-26
THE LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGA TONS.


The Quarantine Ring is utterly broken.
| Merchants may snap their fingers in the
| Health Officers face and laugh to scOrn his
extOrtiOnate bills. He himself entreats silence,
and his miserable tool, fled from the subpenas
| of the Committee, and frettng under cOmpul-
sorry exile at Washington, begs permission to
return and testify at Albany, far from the
witnesses who could confront and disprove
him. There is little TO be added to the over
whelming disclosures of Quarantine corruption,
yet our merchants must not hesitate TO come
forward boldly and pile up proof of the in
fanny of the Quarantine officials until their
immediate removal is secured and an act
adopted which shall leave their successors no
opportunity to practice piracy under the guise
of law and the plea of public health and
safety.
We speak in the plural now with reference
to the Pirates of the Quarantine, because we
have concluded, very reluctantly, as we must
confess, that the investigation of the Legisla-
tive Committee ought TO be extended to the
affairs and accounts of the Quarantine Com
missiOners themselves. While we are at it, let
the Augean stable be thoroughly cleansed.
The reasons we have to advance for this are
given in detail elsewhere. The official reports
of the Commissioners alone establish all that
we now say. and certainly what is said is
enough to warrant inquiry. Let the Legisla-
ture extend the powers of the present Com
mittee, of which Mr.. Alberger is Chairman.
If the members have not already learned what
witnesses to call, they have listened to the
testimony against the Health Officer very in
attentively.
And we may say with as much pOstiveness
and satisfaction that the Judiciary Ring is
already shattered. Lawyers need not fear
that it can ever be put together again to their
discredit and ruin. The documentary evil
dence already secured by the examination of
the District-Attorney's Office is in itself
sufficient to convict the Judges charged,
and send to State Prison others holding
minor positions who are implicated. No
man outside the legal profession, and not
all in it, can have any conception how
personal liberty has been trafficked in by this
Ring of Police and Supreme Court Judges.
HabeaSes have been common objects of barter
with them, and the abuses of Referees and
Receiyerships which we have exposed
are positive virtues compared with the viO-
lations of tho sacred act which the
Bar Association has brought to light. Let 40
honest lawyer fear those men more. The
guilty may tremble, for at the fall of those
they have used or who have used them, their
exposure must follow. But let honest men
who have facts to tell-nOt personal griev-
ances, for these only weaken the general
cause-come forward now and help in. the
general overthrow of the worst Ring that has
| yet afflicted us.

o negative reply to that question is the only
proper answer, and that the Legislature has
nothing to do with private business. John
Thomas has managed to institute two Legs
lative inquiries, both of which prove alb
surd failures They ought not to have
been begun, and it appears that John
Thomas himself or his editorial successor
