Hon. c. j. Faulkner and the Indian
Commission.

We were pleased to see Hon. c. j. Faulk-
ner in attendance upon our Circuit Court this
week, having completed bis hbors iuvestiga-
ting the Indian Affairs in the West. To this
business our representa- i've has given his per-
sonal attention for three months past, aa1 the
repor, which the Commission makes to the
President, in the main prepared by Mr.. Fauk-
ner, is a testimonial Of an earnest and success
ful etfsrt on the part Of our representative To
make thorough aud satisfactory examination
and report accordingly.

The O'ConneIl Centennial.

The effort of the ultramontane party in
Ireland to make the O'Connell Centennial
a Catholic demonstration is strongly re-
sented by the national OF home rule party
This is not to be much wondered at, as the
ultramontanes Ia Ireland, as elsewhere,
merely nee the national feeling for their own
purpose. They are more intent OF having
a fling at Bismarck than honoring the
memory of the Irish patriot. In trying
to make O'Connell mere Catholic
champion they cut down that great figure
many cubits. His lifo was struggle for the
Acknowledgement Of his people from political
disabilities. These disabilities were imposed
were Catholic as because they were Irish and
hostile TO the British connection. 1t is
notorious that the Catholic faction, which
tries to rob the Irish nation of OConnell
to appropriate him to themselves, were just
as free in the exercise of their religion before
emancipation as they have been since. Before
that event and since they have distinguished
themselves for base and cowardly subservi-
ency to England. If they had the power they
would wipe out the name of Ireland from the
map, except when some opportunity occurred
OF using it for their own selfish ends. Under
these circumstances it is not to be wondered
at that the home rulers and other nationalist
who represent tho true feeling Of the Irish ma
ton should object to tho turning of the CEN
tennial honors about to be paid to the great
champion of Irish freedom into an ultramon-
tame demonstration.

Illness OF Andrew johnson.

The news of the sudden and severe illness
of Andrew johnson will be read with regret
alike by friend and foe. Few men achieved q
more remarkable career, and he could have no
prouder epitaph than the gibes of his political
enemies. man who could work out for
himself life so successful, who could COM
plete the circle of official honor with SO much
credit to himself and prove SO useful a citizen
in every station, from the lowest to the high
est, must be made of sterner stuff than most
mortals. Few men have dared so much, and
yet he prevailed against the obloquy he more
than half courted In the early days of the
war it was clearly to his interest to side with
the rebellion and go with his section, but Mr.
Johnson was q Union man and chung to the
Union. After the war, when the most lament
able event in our history made him President,
of Office the most hated and the least
pitied public man in the country. II
not without friends he was, at least, with
out party, and his career seemed virtually
closed. But to a man like Andrew johnson
absolute retirement was impossible. Such
was his force of character and such the faith
in his integrity that in few years he was
back again in the Senate hurting his anathe-
mas against those who had derided and i'm
peached him. Not one man in thousand
could have accomplished work like this,
conquering his way back to power by the as
sent of party which had regarded him as
traitor, and in spite of political opponents
who had charged him with betraying their
cause. 1t was his own individuality which
enabled him to triumph against so many dis
advantages, and his death will leave a va
cancy in the Senate almost as marked as that
created by the demise of Charles Sumner. We
trust, however, that Mr.. Johnsons life may
be spared, and that he may recover sufi-
GENTLY to occupy his seat in the Senate until
the close of the term for which he was elected.

Tho Census.

The work of enumerating the inhabitants
of this city is presumably at an end, though
the returns for no less than thirteen election
districts have not yet been handed in. Persons
best fitted to judge state it freely as their
opinion that the census is incorrect, and
that fully one-ffth of the citizens have not
been counted-that is to say, the census
taking has been farce, if not a
fraud. The want of reliability is
due to two causes--bad legislation
and poor selection of enumerators The
second fault may be attributed to the first
A partisan Legislature years ago passed law
in relation TO the census taking of the popu-
lation of this city with the declared object of
depriving New York of its natural and Just
influence in the State. This act of political
dishonesty has been allowed to continue, and
as the democratic majorities who have
controlled legislation at various periods
failed to remedy the wrong done to this city
our citizens must continue to be deprived of
adequate representation during the coming
ten years. If the difference between the num-
Der of inhabitants returned in the census
papers and the real population amounts, as
calculated, TO one-ifth, there results to this
community very considerable loss of repre-
sentation and corresponding loss of infu-
ence in the councils of the nation.

any well managed lager beer saloon, and that
the Mayor could give those poor men their
money by devoting an hour or two to tho work
OF signing the warrants, his folly will be ap-
preciated. 1t is really one of tho most selfish

1t is too positive, too circumstantal, too d.
rect to be destroyed by simple denial. Every
body knows that the Nathan case was never
allegation that man who was pos
sibly the murderer was allowed to
go almost without inquiry. The police
and the police justice tried and acquitted him
without investigation or publicity. If the
prisoner was mere lunatic or only strolling
vagabond why conceal the fact of his arrest
If the officer was tho silly busybody whose
conduct merited the rebuke of his superiors,
or even the discharge of the prisoner
in the way Ryan was discharged, he
was unfit to serve on the force, and
he should have been tried and dismissed by
tho Police Commissioners for imbeclity. AS
the issue was not met at the time we must
meet it now. If we cannot try Ryan we must
at least try Conklin. 1t will not
satisfy public sentiment any longer to
pursue the policy of concealment Our
Police Department is becoming infamous
in the eyes of the whole world. Day
by day police crimes arc brought to light,
made has been disproved. This is the most
damaging charge of all, and tho mere fact
that it is made requires that the mystery
involved in the Nathan case, and
especially the agency of the police
in complicating it, shall be cleared
away As yet no step has been taken
to meet the issue; but the duty is too plain
to be evaded. In almost any other case there
would have been a trial, and had the case
been committed to almost any other police
force there would have been conviction.
The case fairly bristled with points which,
in the hands of skilful detectives,
could not have failed to lead to
definite results but Conklins testimony
shows, if it shows nothing else. that results
were not sought for either by Superintendent
Jourdan or anybody else. 1t is now the
police which is on trial, and whoever may be
the defendant the police is the real culprit.
Let the issue be joined and determined as
soon as it is possible to hear and dispose

CREEDMoon. The conduct OF some men OF
the detachments from the Fifth brigade of tho
National Guard of this State reflects great dis
credit both on the officers and men. We refer
to what occurred yesterday at Creedmoor with
reluctance; but the sight of militia intended
for the defence of the citizens turned into an
armed mob cannot for moment be tolerated
The Fifth brigade belongs to BROOKLYN and
seems to be affected by the disordered atmos-
phere of the place. 1t would be well, however,
if mn effort were made to remedy the want of
discipline shown yesterday by both officers
and men by promptly court martialing the
offenders.
