We understand that Thumond will appeal
from the decree on tie ground of illegality
of voting, the mayor pro tenn. having cast
vote. What the law 10 on this point we are
not appraised But We recall that in the case
of President johnson there was introduced a
resolution (April y denying the right Of the
chief justice to vote in case of tie This
resolution was rejected, 81 to a. the infer
ence, however, from this being clearly that
while the right to vote sin case of tie"
would be allowed, yet the presiding officer
had no right to vote when there was no
tie. Should Thurmond on appeal sue
coed, tho question will arise, what of the
legality of acts made operative by the
signature of mayor acting without legal
right What of the validity of obligations
incurred sd Interim? Would bonds OK. gr.
be of valid effect, or fines imposed? We pre-
sumo that acts of de facto execa-
tive, the council cooperating, would
DO binding on the general prin-
ciple of the absence 'of the de jure
executive, but we are not so clear in q case
where an illegally ous:ed executive is con-
Stantly present and under the forms of law
demanding his position and refused by
force. But we assume that the council were
advised of all this before acting, and we
merely throw out the suggestions in the in-
terSst of the city and for those who may
have dealings with it. For the res! we may
say that we have no criticism whatever to
make on the action Of the council, not being
in possession of all the evidence, the law or
data on which they proceeded, but that in
the interest of fairness and right it is to be
hoped these were so full, so explicit, so clear,
80 proper that when exhibited to the eyes of
the community interested in the good name
of Dallas and that elected the mayor and the
council to Office, there will be but one feeling
with all rght-thinking citizens, viz that of
error in his election, that of unanimous
approval of their course in his election. By
this test must they stand or fall.

Discontinued Subscribers.

Yesterday we received two letters from
grumbling patrons of the HERALD, which
answer one another SO nicely they will do tc
print together. They are as follows:
DEAR SIR:--You will please stop my
subscription to the HERALD, 1 thought ]
was subscribing for q Democratic paper
when l sent for the HERALD, but find / am
mistaken. L.
SIR:-Please quit delivering the daily
HERALD to me: have been waiting patiently
to see 1t it had the staminy to fight the old
moss-back after his nomination, but see you
have the party collier on and dare not oppose
the nominee. So please discontinue nv
paper. have too many children to educate
to lend any money to anything that will not
oppose the R. policy. Yours truly, NJ.
One quits because we do no. support Il Q
Democratic ticket, and the other because " q
do. "Spell hostility" said school teasht r
to an Irish scholar. "H-o-r-s-e, horse"
"stop I didn't tell you to spell horse
tility, but hostility" "But Yesterday 70
towld me not to say hoss. Ye are one
thing one day and another the MKT" That
Is what these patrons accuse US of being. If
we printed a tri-weekly, and could get them
commenced on uneven days, they might be
happy with the HERALD. But we object
to the position assigned us-deny the arti-
Giles contained in tho impeachment. The
idea of NJ. being without the HERALD, the
advocate of free schools, and without free
schools, too, and house full of children to
educate, is double calamity. This is equiv
alent to losing the dictionary, and throwing
the b;ble out of the window.

CAPTAIN EADs gives the following reasons
in favor of his proposed ship railway across
the 1sthmus: "Fist, ship railway can be
constructed for one-fourth the cost Of tide
level canal and one-half the cost of a canal
with locks; second, it can be constructed in
very much less time; third, wherever canal
is practicable, railway Is equally practi-
cable, and in many points upon the Isthmus
q railway can be built where the oonstruc-
ton Of canal would be out of the question;
fourth, railway can be enlarged from time
to time to meet the wants of commerce, at a
comparatively small expense; fifth, vessels
can be transported upon the railway much
more rapidly than through the canal, and
with equal safety; sixth, transportation by
rail will be attended by no delays; the rail-
way will accommodate commerce and not
prove an impeachment to it, as in the case OF
the canal with locks; seventh, as the invest.
ment would be smaller, the tolls and charges
would be greatly reduced"
