Judge Delahay is to bo made the scapegoat of
Congressional iniquity, after ALL Articles OF
impeachment have been reported against him BY
the Congressional Committee appointed for that
purpose. Delahays ofense is that Of drunkenness.
It is disgusting enough, and criminal enough. in
Judge, to demand punishment and disgrace.
But Judge Delahay is not any moro drunkard
now than when he was appointed, and no charges
of corruption are brought against him. Yet he
is impeached, whi1o Judge Durell, who has been
guilty of gross violation Of the Constitution, and
Judge Sherman, who has boen guilty Of accept
ing money for the exercise Of his influence, are
permitted to go on, encouraged to renew their
disgraceful acts By their escape from punish
ment. 1t is fimsy sort OF morality which
prompts the House OF Representatives to i'm
peach Delahay, when it passes over the cases Of
Dureu and Sherman.

President Grants inaugural address states
that he has confined the efforts Of his Admins
tration to tho restoration of harmony in the
Union, the advance Of plblc credit, and the
material prosperity OF the country. All the
States are at peace, and no Executive control is
exercised in any one that would not, under SIM
liar circumstances, be exercised in any other.
en- Grant still thinks tho application OF San
Domingo for admission as Territory ought to
have been granted, but says he will never ad-
yocate the acquisition Of any territory until the
sanction Of the people is given. In the future
he intends to devote himself to the
maintenance Of peace, the resumption OF
specie payments, the furtherance Of cheap
transit which will leave living remuneration
to tho producer, the encouragement Of manufac-
lures, and the civilization of the Indians. He
wiu maintain the spirit of the Civil Service rules.
The address closes with u complaint that since
1861 he has been followed in his public service
by slander and abuse scarcely ever equaled in
political history.

The opposition to the proposed city charter for
New York is 60 widespread, and has such good
ground, that it may yet bo defeated The Nation
charges directly that it has been manufactured
by the Custom-House Republicans, and that it is
intended to turn the city over to 8 new Ring, to
be composed Of Murphy and his friends, inc1ud-
ing Jimmy O'Brien. It charges, further, that
this scheme dates back to the campaign OF 1astf
summer, and that United States Commissioned
Davenport is to be appointed Chief Of Police in
reward for bis services in oending Supervisors
and Deputy -Marshals into private houses and as
certaining from seryant-girls how their masters
we're going to vote In fact, it is no longer denied
that this Mr. Davenport is to be Police superin-
tendent, il the new charter can be passed through
the Legislature; and the whole scheme has the
appearance Of an attempt on tho part OF certain
Republican politicians to feather their nests
after the .style OF Boss Tweed and his under
Gngs.

It is now reported from Massachusetts that
perhaps neither htr. Dawes nor A1r. Boutwell,
will be elected to the United States Senate to
fill the vacancy caused by 1lr- Wilson's resigna-
ton, and that Soma new man will be taken up.
Here ia 11r. Oakes Anes' opportunity There
are Indications that his candidaturo for the
United States Senate would be well received in
Massachusetts. Gen. Butler would be de-
lighted to appear before the Legislature, and in
dorse him as "that good old man" aud "that
honest old man" from Massachusetts. The
Boston Advertiser would also be delighted, as it
has recently expressed the opinion that ne
should not have had any Pacific Railroad at Ill
it it had not been for the courage and far
sighted faith OF Mr. 0akes Ames. Patriotism
Of this high order should not 60 unrewarded,
particularly when it is go we'll appreciated as in
Massachusetts. Mr. Pomeroy, whom Massa-
chusetts produced originally, is about to retire,
and it is fit that Massachusetts should do some
thing toward filing his place. Oakes A1nes
would never disgrace that State by offering
disloya1 resolutions, as Mr. Sumner has done :;
and, best reason Of all, there may be an oppor-
tunity for another Credit MobiIer. In that
case, Mr. Oakes Ames should DO on hand, and
his sphere of usefulness might be Increased by
sending him to the Senate instead Of the House.

by authorizing one or more OF the Judges Of the
adjoining circuits to hold court in Cook County
for any Of our Judges who may be unable to do
80. This will answer oil purposes until 1876,
when, under the Constitution, two, three, or
four additional Circuit Judges maJ be allotted to
this county.
Tho bill pending before the Legislature is q
mere contrivance to saddle some twenty or more
of6ce-holdora upon tho people Of this county,
Considering the fact that Cook County is nov
taxed to the utmost limit allowed By law, it is an
inopportune time to be asking for the creation

the people vote On the projected euhsldy,
have enabled the 1og-rol1era to carry their points
without regard to the merits OF their projects.
The absurd rivalry which prevails among the
small towns has also been an inducement ut all
times to mortgage their property beyond their
resources to secure what appeared to bo local
advantage. The only sure means Of preventing
these swind1es and follies is by prohibiting them
altogether: That portion Of the Illinois Con-
stitution which does this is probably the most
useful provision it contains. In tie next place,
the illinois Constitution Imits town, county,
and city Indebtedness to per cent OF the
assessed valuation Of the taxable property. The
Committee Of the New York Constitutional
Commission admit that 10 per cent
should be the limit, but the proyis-
ion which they recommend would enable
the county to incur this amount Of
indebtodnoss, and city or town situated in
that county to incur 3 like amount The re-
suit in some cases might be that property
would he mortgaged for 20 per cent Of it's
value. This could occur in Now York City and
County, which are ono and the same in regard
to territory and population The limit should
be (and this was probably the intention Of the
Committee) 10 per cent OF the valuation OF taxa
BILE property. To confno it to this limit, the
county debt must be kept down to s. per cent,
and tho city or town debt to the snme amount.
As the bonded indebtedness must finally be paid
BY taxation, this amount is as large as the great
majority Of taxpayers, with no individual axes
to grind, would sanction. From the exhibit
made, New York has evidently waited too long
before recognizing the fact.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Tho week OF benefit performances At the
Academy Of Music began Oh Monday evening
with large attendance, on the occasion Of the
benefit OF Miss Annie Waite. 'fThe Three
Guardsmen" was produced, with 1Ir. n. H.
Leake ss D'Artagnan, a character which he sus-
tanned with signal excellence, and Miss Waite
IS Anne Of Austria. Last evening d full house
greeted Mr. Marble and -Gss Kntio Wilson, who
we're on for benefit. In addition to e Under
tho Gaslight," given with Tho full strength Of
the company, and with complete scenic and
mechanical effects, various volunteers ap-
peared in special acts, and the entertainment
YVES highly enjoyed, besides being q aattering
and substantial tribute to the uniform accepta-
bility with which the worthy beaefciares have
80 long ministered to the enjoyment OF the
Academy patrons. This afternoon, at the matt
nee, "Uncle Toms Cabin " will be presented for
the benefit OF Miss Fletcher, whose claims upon
the habitues Of the theatre are deserving Of
recognition. This evening, Messrs. j. 4. Herne
and John Webster have joint benefit. They
offer an excellent bill, and, besides, announce
the first appearance Of an amateur singer OF
great talent. On Friday evening occurs the
benefit OF Mr. Muir, the popular Treasurer OF
sufficient to call out his friends in swarms.

Every township in sangamon County was
represented in the Farmers Convention held at
Springfield. Gov. Palmer spoke concerning the
oppressive charges Of the railroads, which pre-
vented the farmers from selling all their crops
at fair prices. He compared tho plea OF *'yosted
rights" mnde by these corporations to the
doctrine of "divine rights" under which
despots sheltered themselves for ages. These
railroad companies employ an army OF men as
large as that which WAS sent to suppress the
Rebellion, and are much more to be feared, with
their hundred Of millions Of capital than the
old National Bank whose s3600o,00o created 80
much alarm in the olden days. The remedy
suggested by the Governor was, as given in
his message, atrailroads should be made public
highways rs free as rivers to all who choose to
use them. This is not impracticable, he urged,
for already On through lines are run the cars of
different freight companies, and the System
could easily be extended to admit all who wished
to run cars, whether Individuals OF COM
panies. The resolutions passed by the
Convention affirm these views, and ask
further, that the Legislature enact laws to pre-,
vent unjust determinations by the railroads, by
the Stock Yards at Chicago, East st. Louis, and
By all other monopolies in the State, and to pro-
vide for the election Of the Railroad and Ware
house Commissioners by the people by ballot

At noon, yesterday, the mantle OF the Vice
Presidency fell from Mr. Colfa1's shoulders upon
those Of Kr. NiIaon. In the remarks with which
&r. Co1fax delivered his garel to his successor,
he said that during the ten years. he had prcsid-

1nittea no act that proved the confidence mis-
placed that called him to those positions. Vice
President Wilson, in assuming his new duties, re-
ferred briefly to his eighteen years' service in

hayior, as usual On such occasions.
