The fact that the Governor has not the power

Many thousands more will follow their example
every year as the pressure of population on
Manhattan Island increases, until the whole
country within radius of twenty miles from
the City Hall will practically be one vast de-
pcndcncy of the metropolis. Instead of regret
ting the constant outflow Of people to the rural
fashion, intelligent men now welcome all
facilities for increasing this movement, bcliey-
ing that it is only by occupying all the adjacent
country that homes can be found for the peo-
pie who will be required to transact the future
business of the city. The growth of New
York us commercial financial and manufac-
turing centre would be seriously checked if if
were not for the steady Improvement in the
facilities for reaching the near suburbs
We may mention few Of the important
new suburban transit enterprises now in pro-
gress to show how the eds of the future are

IA man with conscience has suddenly
emerged from the Russian civil service. This
is Pavcl Birwanski, an imperial state attorney,
who has recently been commissioned by the
Government to make a special investigation of
the judicial and administrative abuses in Orcn-
burg An account of his experience during the
four months which his mission occupied has
been published in the Sjecerny Viestnik, and
translated by The 1elegraph of London. 1t is n

ness, tyranny and barbarity.

UHERE rs GENERIL HUyrER,

Is it not about time for tho report to begin
to be circulated that the Hon Benjamin y.
Butler has been retained for the defence Of
Guitcau, the Presidential assassin II is the
first great crime Of public character that has
been committed for these many years into which
common rumor has rot drawn his name as
attorney. We suspect the public has been
waiting FOR The past week in daily expectation
OF the announcement That - ho friends of
Guitcau have retained General Builder for The
defence.' Possibly one reason why it has
not appeared may be that Gntcau has
40 discoycrable fricpds to act for him IN
retaining counsel, and he is prevented
by the rgor of his confinement from
acting for himself in the matter. The
reports from the aSsaSsin'S cell have been very
meagre, and we are told That he is pusposaly
isolated from communication with Che outside
world that he may not have the satisfaction
OF feeding his nordinate vanity with the no.
torirty he has obtained. This is perfectly
right and proper. But we are confident that
whenever his voice does break through his
prison walls its first uttcrancc will be a call
for General Butler
II viii be strange indeed if this is not so.
For this mans crime is in some sort political.
IL is OF the class of offences which General
Butler seems inevitably to be associated with
in the relation of counsel. There is never a
scandal opened that rumor does not at once
and almost invariably correctly connect his
name with the defence. Whether they be the
men of the WhisIcy Rings, or the Moiety
cOnspiratoTs. the Star Route contractors.
or the Legislative Bradlcys, thcy all invoke
the aid of Butler. In this case we miss him.
No report that Butler has been retained has
yet been put III circulation. so unaccountable
break in the line OF prccedcnts cannot be
relation Of criminal lawyer, has como to be so
invariablc feature of the celebrated eases
that his omission from this Will be taken a.
having very positive bearing upon the
question of the sanity of the accused
If it shall appear upon his trial that he
undertook this crime without including Mr..
Butler n factor, in the relation of counsel.
it may have great weight in the minds of the
jury rs tending to show insanity. The man
who undertakes IA high crime with dclib-
Grafton and leaves ont of his calculation the
employment of Butler in lis defence. gives his
offence the quality of novelty, and lays lountla-
ton for the plea OF insanity
General Butler is not accountable for Il, Of
course he Is Il great criminal lawyer, but the
mind OF almost any criminal, and csp.c. lilly
such one as Guitrau, turns myolHiaril. 10
Butler Is his proper defender To neglect 10
call him to the defence in such a crisi, is al
most prma facie evidence of insanity

right to speak and vote upon all questions. If
it is objected that this would disturb the power
OF the States in that body, the answer is that he
has now the authority to disturb that power on
important occasions by giving q casting vote.
Another plan, which, like the first one men
toned above, could be carried ont by
Legislation without constitutional amendment,
was suggested some years ago by President Gar
field. 1t is to make the Vice President ex-
oflicio Governor of the District of Columbia,
provide him fitting residence and give him the
power OF appointing The subordinate officers Of
the District. In favor of this plan it can DO
urged that Washmgt on is National city GOV
erned by the National legislature, and its execu-
tive functions might therefore consistently be
put into the hands of an official elected by the
whole Nation. The growing Importance and
beauty of the city and the Increasing interest
felt i'll it by the people at large would make
tho administration of its affairs dignled and
honorable task for the Vice President
The subject is certainly worthy of u careful
consideration by men Of all parties, and of such
discussion by the press as will draw the atten-
ton Of Congress TO il at the next session. No
Quo Will deny that the present limitations upon
the Office Of Vice President which make its in
cumbent a cipher and naturally lead him into
such an attitude OF dissatisfaction with the
management OF the Administration that the
public regard him as % malcontent who would
probably upset tie policy Of the President if he
should succeed him, and might thus causo grave
political disorders, is positive evil, which
should be rcmedied without further delay.

OF the city it is too early to predict but it will

large villa properties which occupy so much of
the available building space there and the

owners of handsome country seats will fud
