ton of n President in Office, and the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln was cited as an example
But il, in 1864, Mr.. Lincoln had been near the
close of second term instead Of first
nobody would have then proposed third
term. great national crisis is as likely to
happen at the close of a second term as at
any other time; so this argument proves too
much, unless those who urge it choose to be
regarded as the advocates of third term.
been no danger in changing the incumbent of
the Executive Office in 1864. Mr.. Chase would
have been as safe President as Mr.. Lincoln,
even if the war had continued
1t was also said in the debate that the peo-
pie can be trusted to take, care of their own
interests, and that if it is inexpedient to re-
elect President they can SO decide by their
votes. This is an argument against having
any constitution at all. If the people
wanted to elect Carl Schurz to the Presidency
they could not do so, because the constitution
does not permit the election of citizen OF
foreign birth. They have preferred to limit
their own power in this respect, and 1t is for
them to judge whether they will not also, for
still stronger reasons, limit their free
dom of choice in other respects.
Difference for the people requires that
this subject should be submitted to
their decision. Let them decide whether it is
necessary to put this check on abuses of Ex-
ecutive power 1t was said in the debate that
the people have not petitioned Congress for
this amendment. But neither were there any
petitions for the three great amendments
which embody the political results of the war.
Public opinion can manifest itself in numer-
Gus ways besides petitions to Congress. All
the arguments against this important reform
nre weak and pointless, and we congratulate
the country that TINS one-term proposition
has been started with degree of success
which gives bright promise of eventual tri-
umph.

Fifth Avenue.

Good drives are MS much part of great
city as splendid streets and magnificent pub
lie buildings. In this respect New York can
not compare with any of the great cities of
Europe, especially Paris and Berlin. The
fault is in the methods of paving which have
been adopted by those having the direction of
this work for the metropolis. Most of our
readers can recall the excellence of the Bloom
ingdale Road when it was simply a macadam-
lied highway; but, with all the growth and
progress and enterprise which have marked
the last few years, we have not been able
to obtain anything half as good in
its place. Harlem Lane has become q
mudhole, the railway tracks in the
middle being q positive nuisance, not
SO much on account of their existence as FROM
the neglect of the footpaths. The poor car
horses are compelled to suffer terribly on ac-
CONT OF the unpavcd condition of the street,
while the way is extremely dangerous for pri-
vate vehicles. This is only one specimen of
the condition OF our streets. IN time the
boulevards will become relief, so far as the
upper part of the island is concerned, but we
cannot have street suited to private car
riages until we exchange the present pave
ments in Fifth avenue for something bet
ter. To this end that splendid thorough
fare should be macadamizcd and so mode
suitable to the purposes to which it is
devoted. The Central Park has excellent
drives, but they are now unapproachable by
good roadway from any direction. Rapid
transit is scarcely more important to the true
interests of the city than q street such MS we
advocate. It is the duty of the municipal
authorities to move in the matter and give us
such street The present hard and uneven
bed in our principal avenue ought to be re-
moved as soon MS the spring opens sufficiently
to allow the work TO DO undertaken, and n
good macadamizod road substituted in its
place. Now that the city has given us q
splendid park with many excellent drives lei
us also have good road leading to it, and it
is plain that We cannot have this until
Fifth avenue is paved upon the system we
suggest

The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL was the occasion
of remarkable scene in the House yesterday,
the day being spent in "fiibustering" Gen.
eral Buffers motion to take up that measure.
The scene is to be regretted, and the action
was misjudged on both sides. If the majority
are determined 10 pass the bill dilatory
motions can impede but scarcely prevent
its passage In view of the fact that the
people have decided against it it is not likely
that the majority has any real intention OF
passing it. 1t follows that the action of yes
terday served no other purpose than to excite
partisan bitterness at the cost Of the pubic
business. It would be O bold thing in the
dominant party to pass this measure against
the outspo1en will of the people, and if it il
done the rebuke of last year will foreshadow
sterner retribution in the future.

find himself various farms in the beauti-
full country of the Upper Mississippi.
For Bill King was q student of his
tory. He had read with pride of the
Sage of Mount Vernon, the Sage Of Monticello,
the Sage Of Ashland. the Sage of Undertook,
the Sage of Wheatland and the other sages
who closed their public career by an Indian
summer life amid their Hocks and forests and
herds and acres of waving wheat and golden
corn. In order to carry out these pious pas
toral hopes Bill King set out on journey to
the northern part of New York to buy prize
cattle for his farms. When last heard
from, q month since, he was in search
of famous bull, valued at ten thou
sand dollars, which he had resolved,
regardless of expense, to carry to his Mime
sofa plantation. Since then no one has seen
Bill King; no one has heard of him. The
telegraph cannot find him, the Sergeant-at-
Arms can obtain no clew to his Whereabouts
and affectionate and anxious people have been
unsuccessfully looking for him for days and
days. His name has been in everybodys
mouth and in the columns of every news

mystery as that of Tom Fields, Harry Genet
poor Charley Ross or the lost Pleiades.
We recognize in this painful contingency q
duty we owe to our profession and to the
public. We have shown that we do not hest
tate to do our part toward the solving of those
inscrutable problems now and then imposed
upon us by Providence. We found Living
stone, the Swamp Angels, Cespedes in his
tropical Mambi home, the Khan of Khiva in
his desert environed palace and Captain Jack
in his lava beds. We have expressed our will
ingness to assist in discovering the North
Pole, and We are willing now to take part in
an expedition to find Bill King. Our natural
choice would be to organize the expedition
ourselves, and assign Mr.. Stanley, Mr..
MacGahap, Mr.. OKelly or some other of our
gallant intrepid associates to the command of
it. But these gentlemen are otherwise
employed, and in work so dear to
the American people we do not care
to be selfish. But Bill King must
be found. If our brethren Of the press will
only assist in the work we will bear our
modest share of the expense Even if one
hundred thousand dollars is necessary, GER
tainly the press of New York would not
grudge that sum. Mr.. Irwin is released from
his committee duties, and he may be willing
to undertake this new duty in the interest OF
humanity, Congressional integrity and Pacific
Mail If any of our contemporaries will only
lead in the matter the HERALD will proudly
and gladly follow.

passed to George himself. With him
they were quite safe. He returned to tho
thieves nearly empty wallets. At this stage
the pickpockets began to discover that they
were tine industrious slaves of Dcrmemon;
md what says the anthem? ''Britons never,
never shall be slaves" They declined
further connection and went to prison in pro.
portion. Thereupon the authorities began to
receive from various prisons confessions
which detailed at greater or less length the
transactions of this detective. But what
them? They were the accusations of con-
victs. They indicated simply the existence
of conspiracy against this excellent detec-
tive on tho part of all the English pick
pockets, who were evidently persuaded that
they could no longer rob the Paris public
with any comfort unless this particular officer
was put out Of the way. Charges of this ma
ture were therefore an honor, not q
discredit, and the officer against whom
they were made should be promoted, not
punished. Now would not any reasonable
and honest police administration be con-
vinced by defence whose theory is so clear2
Evidently Our own Police Board is the
most honest and the most capable in the
universe, for it never steals or plumbers ex-
cept when the sun is above the horizon or
below it; and when, some time ago, charges
were made against our detectives by convicts,
and the detectives made defence similar to
the above, the charges were summarily dis
missed.
But they are not virtuous in Paris, and the
wicked police authorities were evil-minded
enough to fancy there might be something in
it; SO they profted by the accusation to set
some little traps, and George was caught, and
will be held for tho term mentioned above.
From oil OF which it may DO seen that they
have in other countries also detectives like
ours, but that they know better than we do
what to do with them.

UProwN IMPROVEMENTS property
owners on the west side protest against the
injustice done them in levying taxes for pro.
jected improvements and then neglecting ia
push them to completion. The demand they
make is that the city authorities shall fulfil
their contract and complete the improve
mcnts in the uptown districts. 1t is four
years since the assessments were made, and
most of the money has been paid by the prop
erty owners. Common honesty would point
out the necessity for completing these i'm
provements and fulfilling the contracts made
with the taxpayers.

DR.. NEwMAN's REPLY.-Ssme time ago we
printed brief synopsis of DR.. Newman's re-
ply to Mr.. Gladstones expostulation, which
we received by cable. The text of the answer,
which was in the shape Of letter to the Duke
of Norfolk, is now received, and this morning
we present complete synopsis, with copious
extracts. The article will be read with great
interest since it is an exposition of the views
of one of the most eminent scholars and
dIvines of the day on what is, perhaps, the
most vital question of the time, affecting the
whole Christian and political world

THE BEEcHER TRIAL The long and severe
examination of Francis D. Moulton in the
Tilton-Beecher scandal suit was closed yes
terday, and the witness allowed to retire.
Mrs. NJ. A. Bradshaw was the next witness.
She was called for the purpose Of identifying
somewhat remarkable correspondence she
had with Mr.. Beecher on the subject Of the
scandal. These were the principal events of
the day. and they we're sufficiently dramatic
to awaken renewed interest in the trial. Alto
gether, it is one Of the most remarkable
scenes ever enacted on this Continent, every
day of the trial adding deeper shadow to
what was long recognized as singularly ter
rible domestic tragedy.

THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE is an association
which it would be pleasure to encourage if
it subserves the purposes its founders had in
view. Unfortunately the charges contained
in Professor Chambers letter of resignation
as director of the Institute are SO grave as
to require withdrawal of all public conf
dence in its management unless it is shown
that this eminent scientist has been misled in
his Judgment regarding the case he cites.
But whatever the merits of this particular
article Professor Chandler shows it was not
fairly considered by the present Board of
Directors. and if the Institute would regain it's
place in public esteem the resignation OF the
Board is necessary. 1t will not do TO turn n
society for the promotion of the industrial
arts into ring tor subscribing private interests.
