ture can play is to give him their
cordial support and claim their share
in policy which would otherwise inure
to the advantage of o democratic aspirant to
the Presidency. If the republicans of the
Legislature are shrewd enough to support the
Governor against corrupt democratic ring
the honors will be divided, and the personal
and party capital at which Mr. Tilden is sup
posed to aim be Of small account
Governor Tilden is astute and artful, and
among the other objects he has in view in
precipitatng this canal controversy he wishes
to withdraw attention from city affairs by
concentrating it on a more exciting question.
The ways of politicians are crooked, and if the
Governor, now that he has discharged his bomb
into the camp of the Canal Ring does not i'm
mediately act on Mayor Wickham's removals,
this community will regard him as dexter
Gus political dodger who does nothing and
abstains from nothing except with reference
to his Presidential chances. The people will
support him in his assault on the Canal Ring
because it is just; but, if they are constrained
to believe that its motive is personal and self
ish, they will prefer different style of man
for President. 1t will not do for Mr. Tilden
to make his assault on the Canal Ring an ex-
cuse for Sinking his duty to support the hon
est efforts of the Mayor to reform our NUM-
cipal government

The Astronomers Problem.

Notwithstanding the praiseworthy efforts
of the American observers in Japan to carry
out the instructions of the Transit Commits
sion, the brilliancy Of their success was
cruelty dimmed by cloud-masses which
caught the rays of victory beamed from the
east during the decisive moments of the first
and the last contact. The photographs taken
there, like all the others, must fail to yield
perfect results, though they may evoke inves-
tigation and inventions of a browning charac-
ter for the observance of the transit eight
years hence. The small number of cusp
measurements made prior to the second con-
tact will not enable the calculators to deter
mine the epoch of first contact by
the laws of proportion. But inasmuch as the
possibility of error in the notation of the Sec
ond and the third contact is limited to few
seconds, and the English have chronicled the
closing contacts in Africa, we are hopeful Of
a solution of the main problem by Delisle's
method closely approximating the truth. The
micrometric measures of Venus apparent
diameter and the records of the transits Of the
limbs Of both bodies across the meridian fur
nish the key to correction Of the planet
diameter and the longitude of its node. But
in the determination of the former attention
must be paid to fact that has been ignored
by some of the star gazers-the height
and density of Venus atmosphere.
Before the expeditions left this country
their attention was asked, through these
columns, to this important circumstance, and
the propriety Of that suggestion is amply
shown by the occurrences incident to the
transit The refraction of the planets light
has unquestionably operated to accelerate the
epochs of the first and the third contact and
to retard the second and the fourth. This,
together with errors Of position, would &C
count for the discrepancy between the esti-
mated and the observed periods of apparent
collision between the bodies as vie we'd by the
astronomers in Japan. The conclusions to
which the reports thus far received seem
likely to lead may be modified by the work of
the scientists yet unheard from. But from
what may be surmised, we venture to think
that the noble achievements of 1874 will
merely prove preparatory to those which are
destined to crown the astronomical progress
of this century, when the silver orb will re-
peat her journey over the solar globe, scanned
by thousands of admirers from the Atlantic to
the Pacific shore.

Garibaldi aud tho Improvements n
Rome.

Garibaldi's projects for the redemption Of
the country in the neighborhood Of Rome are
so far favored by the government that 1T will
undoubtedly give its support in the Parlla-
ment to any bill for raising the necessary
funds but no close approximation OF the ex-
penditure can yet be reached by estimate, be-
cause Of the fact that no definite plan of
operations has been settled. In fact, the pro-
ject is yet rather in the drifting stage-pro-
fessedly subject to any modification that may
be supported by cogent reasons
As we pointed out two or three days since,
there are two objects in view-frst, the
prevention in the city of the overcoming
calamity of inundation next, the drainage of
the malarious district of the Campagna. Two
distinctly separate systems of improvement
are proposed to remedy these separate evils.
Against the evils of the Campagna it is pro-
posed to cut canal some twenty-five or
thirty miles long, from Tivoli on the Anio
far above Rome to the Tlber, near Ostia.
This cut will not at any point come any
where near the city, and it will have no rela-
ton to the inundations except in so TAR as it
may divert the water of the Anio, which
other wise would, of course somewhat swell
the waters OF the Tiber. 1t will run like the
base line OF triangle, of which the Anio and
the Tiber are the two sides, and consequently
will skirt for some distance the foot of the
Alban hills. In times when the plain would
be overfowed this cut will carry the water sea-
ward while in seasons when the burning sun
turns the plain to the semblance of place
wasted by fire, 1t may, with proper crosscuts,
serve for irrigation and SC make agriculture
possible and it is tolerably clear that it is in
agriculture more than in drainage that we
shall find the true solution of the problem OF
the Roman Campagna.
To prevent the inundations the project is to
make cut, or perhaps two cuts, sklrting the
city, starting that is, at the Tiber some ways
above, making the halt circuit and ending at
the Tiber several miles below. There is o
double curve in the river of which advantage
may be taken for these cuts 80 that whether
one be made to the east or west OF the river
they will be practically recifcations of its
course and will be but slightly curved lines.
One cut of this sort, Of proper dimensions,
would doubtless divert the water sufficiently,
and two would surely do it,
In connection with the project for thesa
cuts goes that for the Improvement Of the

Andrew JOhnson's Speech.

The speech of Andrew johnson in the
Senate yesterday will make profound inn
preston on the country, by reason OF its
energy, earnestness and courage. The
Louisiana question becomes but an incl
dent in his sweeping arrangement of
the administration. He passes at once from
brief consideration of the law and the facts
to bold denunciation of the President and u
passionate appeal to the people. Virtually
the address is an impeachment of General
Grant.
1t was unnecessary in Mr.. Johnson to COM
pare Grant with Washington in order to make
his argument more effective by the con-
trast. The American people do not
approve OF cruelty that can serve no good
end If we were to institute comparisons Of
the kind how few public regulations would
besecure! Mr.. Johnson himself would not be
benefited by such parallel. TO insist upon
judging General Grant by Washington is to
be unjust for there is no resemblance in
their characters and outside of the Office
holders no one pretends to the con-
trary. Postmasters and revenue officers
may speak of Grant as the Second
Washington but their eulogy does not de-
serve Mr.. Johnson's attention. This portion
the concealed malice is not to be justified
even by the heat of political passion.
The nature of Mr.. Johnson's mind is prac-
teal. He cannot argue in distractions, and
thus rapidly passes from the theoretical
merits of the Louisiana question to what he
considers to be the political and personal object
of the administration When he sees military
tyranny in the place of civil law he seeks at
once for the motive Of the usurpation. He
finds it, where alone it can be
logically found, in the Presidents de-
sire of third term, and the dan
ger to republican institutions in that
innovation seems to him, as to all thoughtful
men, the greatest of our national evils. The
President, he argues, is already in certain por-
tons of the country as absolute as an Emperor,
and if the precedents of his rule in the South are
permitted to stand the Empire itself will soon
be upon us. Mr.. Johnson believes that the ad-
ministra,ion is trying to overthrow the gov
eminent, and We are sorry to say that he has
plausible reasons tor the opinion. There are
acts of the President that cannot be explained
upon any other theory than that of scheme
to hold the Executive power for another term,
and that means the end OF the Republic our
forefathers founded.
Mr.. Johnson's speech will probably be con-
demned for its impolicy, but policy is not to
be expected from a nature so blunt and
courageous With too much passion for the
time and perhaps too much exaggeration, he
has honestly uttered unwelcome truths and
warned the nation of dangers it will be wise
tn heed

The season of Lent has been penitentiai
one in musical as well as religious point of
view. Easter brings with it hope and fiat
tering promises The Kellogg English Opera
Company finish their winter season at the
Academy next week, and will be succeeded by
Mr.. Maretzek with an Italian opera company,
mainly composed of native artists. An ex-
pertinent will be made IN this latter case to
popularize Italian opera and to take away
from it the spirit of exclusiveness and high
pricedness SO long attached to it. Among
the artists who will appear for the first time
on the boards of the Academy in Italian
opera are Miss Hoffman, of Chicago; Miss
RokohL Of New York; Miss Morele, of
Savannah; Miss Randall, of Washington, and
Miss Sorel, of Louisiana. The enterprise is
national enough, to judge from this list Some
of the male artists of the late Strakosch
troupe have been engaged. The repertoire
consists of Flotow's L'Ombre," which will
be presented for the first time in this city;
"Martha," ''Trovatore" and "Ernait;, =
works calculated to test to the fullest the
capabilities of those aspirants for operate
honors. 1t is an experiment worth trying,
and if successful will do much to advance and
encourage native talent. Mr.. Theodore
Thomas will inaugurate his season of sum-
mer concerts in May after his return from the
grand musical festival which is to be held in
Cincinnati. Gilmore and his military band
will also entertain the metropolis during the
dog days with promenade concerts. The
Oratorio Society, which has acquired such
fame and popularity this season, will produce
''Samson" at Steinway Hall on Easter Mon
day. This is a favorable outlook, and will go
far toward supplying the aching void left by
the collapse Of some Of those musical enter
prises inaugurated last fall.

The SpeculatiOn in Gold.

The ring which has been manipulating
the gold market for the last two or three
weeks has not yet been broken. The price
of gold yesterday did not advance, but it
did not recede, and until new supplies come
into the market there is little chance of
much reduction. The importing merchants,
who cannot afford to lose the spring trade
which is now opening, must have gold for
the payment OF duties; but the state of the
gold market for the last two or three days
may encourage them to believe that its price
has reached as high point as it will attain.
The gold clique dare not carry it higher, and
they will not consent to have it lower until
they can unload unless new supply dis
concerts their calculations. A small amount
is on the way from California, but it is insult
fcient to have any perceptible effect on the
market. The situation hinges on the presen-
tation of the called bonds at the Treasury for
payment They have not yet begun to come
ill., and as the interest on them is
greater than the interest Of money in
the street, it is quite possible that the owners
may prefer to retain them until the inter-
est is stopped by the expiration Of the three
months, when the whole thirty millions would
be poured into the market at season when
importatons are at a stand But if the spec
ulators should be unwary enough to run up
the price of gold much beyond its present
figure, the holders of the called bonds could
make more by getting their gold at once and
selling it than by allowing their bonds to run
on until the expiration of the three months.
This is pretty good security that gold will
not 90 much higher. 1t will, therefore, be safe
for the importing merchants TO buy no more
than they need from day to day for paying
the duties on such goods as they " ish TO bring
Immediately into the market. They have a
pretty sure guarantee that the price cannot
materially advance, and from the moment
that any considerable amount Of the called
bonds are presented for payment it is certain
TO decline.
