In all that has been written of Mr..
Johnson since bis death, there does not

ing of his character. If one, for in
stance, could get at the truth Of the
p, rsonal and political enmity and rival

furnish mighty interesting reading,
But very few know the facts, and the

The Darien Canal.

Two of the great geographical points of this
planet are the Isthmus OF Suez and the 18TH
mus of Darien. The one separates Asia and
Europe from Africa and the other divides the
Continent OF America Both are impediments
to commerce and travel, and it has only been
of late years that the Isthmus of Suez has
been cut through by the genius of great
French engineer and the Arabian Sea
practically united to the Mediterra-
made the name of De Lesseps immortal, was
probably attended with less difficulty than the
proposed canal through the Isthmus of
Darien. In the one case the shifting sand
was the obstacle to be overcome by the skill
of the engineer; in the other it is the
aboriginal forest, theGpcks, the torrents and
the mountains. If the United States gov
eminent succeeds in its efforts to cut
canal through Darien those who
have conceived and those who will exc
cute the marvellous work will deserve
fame not less enduring than that Of De Les
seps. Of the new surveys which are contem-
plated, and the probable route to be selected
by the American expeditions intrusted to
Commander Lull and Lieutenant Collins, our
letter from Aspinwall gives full and inter-
esting account. Whether feasible route can
be discovered is yet an undecided question
which the expedition Of Lieutenant Collins is
expected to solve. The choice will then be
between the Nicaragua line and that of the
Atrato-Napipi. In o few months these sur
veys will probably be completed, and then
the government should energetically push
the construction of the canal on the line
which is selected. What effect this speedy
water communication with the Pacific will
have upon the commerce OF the Atlantic sea-
board it is impossible now to determine, but
it will certainly make the Union Pacific Rail-
road of less national importance. But COM
merce never loses by increased facilities, and
the canal and the railroad are both needed for
the proper development of American trade,
and will be only rivals in contributing to the
prosperity of the United States.

CHEAP TLLEGRApEY. We observe that in
lie Ohio Legislature q bill has been intro
iuced regulating the transmission of de-
spatches by telegraph companies, arranging a
scale OF charges and making the companies
responsible for damages in the event of
violating the provisions of the act This bill
requires the different companies to ''pro rata
with each other" This is the beginning of
what may be in time very important action.
Once we legislate upon this matter Of tele-
graphing, there can be but one end

The Tennessee Senatorship.

The Tennessee contest assumed new and
unexpected phase yesterday, Mr. Bates who
was the leading candidate against Mr. John
son, withdrawing at point when he was
within three points of election. Governor
Brown, who had retired from the battle, then
came to the front, and his nomination was
followed by the adjournment Of the Legisla-
ture, both parties evidently being afraid to
trust their fortunes to an Immediate ballot.
The struggle now appears to be solely between
Andrew johnson and Governor Brown, and,
no matter who wins, Tennessee will be sure
of worthy representative in the Senate.
The preference of the country is undoubt-
edly for Andrew Johnson. OF the two men
he is the more distinguished and has the
largest political experience. He was in 1853
an efficient civil Governor of Tennessee and
in 1863 an impartial military Governor. In
the Senate he had a good record, and the
country begins to modify its opinions Of his
course when he became by the death of Mr.
Lincoln, the President of the United States
| He was in conflict with Congress then, and
4 unfortunately made many enemies by his
stubbornnoss. His impeachment was in some
respects political necessity but that it was
also political mannuvre many people begin
to see. Now that partisan feelings begin to
fade away, and that bitter personal war has
become a matter of history, the people
are nearly agreed that it is well
that the trial of Mr. Johnson by the
Senate did not end in his conviction. II
was an event which will stand alone in our
history; at least, we hope that it will remain
as warning, never to be repeated as fact.
The country likes Andrew johnson as much
as at one time it hated him. II admits his
ability, respects his courage, and, though it
does not consider him model statesman.
it believes in his integrity He LETT
| the Presidency poor man, and
that is point very greatly TO his credit,
Tor he was Executive of the government
during times that were almost as cor
rupt as those in which we now live. His
election to the Senate would give satisfac-
ton everywhere-excepting in The White
House---and be a democratic triumph which
would partly atone for the mistake Missouri
made in retiring Carl Schurz. But il
Governor Brown is elected tomorrow
there is every reason to expect that Tennes.

Debate in the Senate is unrestrained by
rule and is limited only by the courtesy of
members. In the House it can be suppressed
by the calling of the previous question, which
has again and again proved powerful
weapon in the hands of the dominant
party. It is deeply to be regretted that
yesterday an attempt was made in tho
House to suppress free speech during
the remainder of the session. Mr.. Cessna, Of
Pennsylvania. who offered the resolution
which is elsewhere printed, has been regarded
as a tair-minded republican. but in this case
he has made mistake which will be of
lasting injury to his political reputation.
There is no emergency now that could
justify the suspension Of the rules of
the House to prevent the democracy from
exercising the usual parliamentary privileges
The democrats, SO far as affirmative legisla-
ton is concerned. are in hopeless minority,
and the Cessna resolution would have prac-
tically destroyed their legislative functions.
As Mr.. Eldrcdge said, it would have been as
we'll to abolish all rules, or, as Mr..
Cox suggested, Congress might as wisely have
adjourned and gone home. This is the first
instance, in our recollection of the history
Of the country, that majority in Congress
has tried to choke the minority by preventing
the calling of the yeas and nays or forbidding
the Speaker to consider motion to adjourn
If it had been approved fair play would no
longer have had existence in Congress and
the nation would have been degraded
in the eyes of the world. The ultimate effect
of the resolution would have been, not merely
to suppress political debate on Louisiana and
other questions-and never was free speech
more needed to prevent any check
upon the corrupt schemes now pending
on the floor and in the lobby Of
the House. The rejection Of such An
arbitrary measure was absolutely necessary to
the honor and dignity of Congress, and the
republicans who voted in the negative deserve
credit for their refusal to be accomplices in an
infamous outrage upon every admitted prin-
ciple Of fair play.

1t is fair to the Mayor to suppose that in
dealing with public affairs he will do one
thing at time. Just now he is busily con-
cerned with MIR. Corporation Counsel Smith.
Till that matter is settled he will probably not
undertake to deal with Mr.. Green. We think,
however, that His Honor made mistake in
not first taking up the case OF the Comptrol-
Ter. There is no charge that can be made
against Mr. Smith that cannot be made
against Mr.. Green, with many others of q
more serious character. If Mr. Smith is the
appointee Of the old UNIFORMED Iammany
Hall, so is Mr.. Green. II Mr.. Smith, as Cor
poration Counsel, has interfered with the dis
pensation of justice Mr.. Green has stided
the growth and prosperity of New York,
adding to nothing but the taxes, diminishing
nothing but the advancement of the metrop-
oils. Furthermore, the powers which Mr.
Green yields are not alone those which
are conferred by the Tweed charter, but the
still greater powers embraced within the order
Of Judge Barnard confirming him il the
COMPREHENSIVE and making him as much the
master of New York as Napoleon was the
master Of France.
II was never intended that the Comptroller
ship should be an imperial Office, or that Mr..
Green or anybody else should have irresponsi-
bile and immortal power. Even If this power

each branch of Congress. Nothing is more
certain than that the State Legislatures will
refuse to ratify Morton's amendment if il
should get through Congress and be submitted
to them and it is therefore sheer waste OF
time for Congress to consider and debate his
proposition. 1t is absolutely certain that the
democratic State Legislatures will not throw
away from seventy to hundred electoral
votes which would be given to their Presiden-
tial candidate under the present system. We
therefore conclude that Mr.. Morton is wasting
precious time which ought to be given to
practical measures.
The HERALD would be glad to see the second
article of the federal constitution amended,
but only on the condition that the President
be limited to a single term. II viii support
such a change but it sees no advantage in
any amendment which does not contemplate
the enforcement of the one term principle.
Morton's scheme permits the perpetual re-ell-
gibility of the President, and we should feel
constrained to oppose it on this ground, even
if it were better than it is But the foregone
certainty that the democratic Legislatures will
not ratify it makes it so utterly idle that we
can see no justification for any waste of time
upon it by Congress-
We concede the danger, which makes such
figure in Mr.. Morton's speech, that in a
close election doubt as to the legality of the
electoral vote of one or two States might en-
danger the peace of the country; but we
believe that Congress has full power to provide
against such difficulty without any amend
ment Of the constitution. We hope that
proper law on this subject may be passed at
the present session; but we oppose, as we are
sure the country will oppose, any amendment
Of the second article of the constitution which
does not limit the President to one term.

The Republican Congregational Caucus

The inability of the frequent caucuses of
the republican members of Congress to de-
eide on any policy to bind the party exhibits
the weakness and the division of sentiment in
the republican ranks. The great immediate
topic is the Louisiana question, but the repub-
licans in Congress cannot satisfy themselves
that they ought to indorse the Kellogg gov
eminent nor that they ought to provide for
new election, nor can they agree upon any
practical measure for relieving the party OF
this great scandal. The Louisiana affair will
ruin the republican party unless Congress
does something but when its members as
semble in caucus and attempt to pledge the
party to definite course they find that there
is no agreement among themselves. Those
who support the President favor one course and
those who study public sentiment prefer an
other. 1t is question between Grantism and
anti-Grantism; but the drift and tendency is
toward the absorption of the republican party
in personal devotion to President Grant. He
has foolishly staked his reputation to the sup
port OF Kellogg, and the republican party hes
itates to thwart him, although its wisest men,
bers see that Endorsement of Grant is ruin to
the party.

Grant he will rapidly be advanced to Doctor
Grant; if be should issue bis messages in the
form OF text book-a kind of ''aid to COM
position"-he might sign himself ON the title
page Professor L. B., LII. D., D. G. L., &o..
&C., and if he wished he might even add s'late
President of the United States" It would in
crease the popularity of the book and give
final blow to the absurd report Of his enemies
that he aimed at third term.

Louisiana affair won him many friends in the
North as well as the South. However the
contest in the Legislature may terminate we
may rejoice in one fact-that the State Of
Tennessee will not be represented by Sen
ator whom nobody knows, and that the choice
Of either Andrew Johnson or Governor
Brown will have the general approval of dis
interested citizens of both the great political
narties.
