these disgraceful proceedings do not dare to
test before a sworn jury the weight of the evil
dence they have been shouting over so loudly.
They know that trial could have but one pos
sible end-the utter failure of the prosecution
to make out case, and the acquittal of the ac-
cused This, again, all fair-minded men who
have observed the proceedings realize. Many
of them may be in doubt whether the story Ct
MIR. Bradley is true or not, but not ore OF them
would vote to convict man on evidence
slender.
These proceedings will recoil. The love of
justice and fair play is not yet dead There will
arise feeling that the faction which resorts to
such proceedings i'll order to defeat an oppo-
nent is wholly unworthy of public confidence
No good cause can stand in need of such pros
titution of the machinery of justice. No good
cause can be helped by casting upon men a
stigma of disgrace, without evidence which
would lead to a conviction in any court. With
good reason, this assault fails to affect public
opinion in favor Of the assailants. Before all is
done it will cover them with disgrace

Yesterday the New-York Elevated Railroad
Company made its long expected effort to re-
gain possession of its property by declaring
the Manhattan lease broken. At meeting of
the Board of Directors it was unanimously
resolved that the lease had become forfeited
by the failure of the Manhattan Company to
pay the taxes for 1879 and 1880, and to nav
ihe interest upon the bonds and the quarterly
dividend rental due yesterday. Suit is to be
brought to test the validity of this claim. As
the Manhattan Company claims that its failure
to pay the moneys due the New York Company
was because of an injunction specifically re-
straining it from so doing, there is evidently
a long legal contest ahead, the issue and
precise effect of which it is not easy to
toresee.

The event of the balloting at Albany yester-
day was the withdrawal of Mr.. Platt's name
by Speaker Sharpe, and the division of his vote
among several candidates, Congressman Crow
ley getting the larger share, and Governor
Cornell the next. Mr.. Crowley received
twenty votes against Mr.. Depew, and Cover
nor Cornell fifteen. Ex-Insurance Superinten-
dent Orlow w. Chapman received four votes
and two members, Messrs. Draper and Trimble
still voted for MIR. Platt in spite of his an
nounced wish not to be any longer considered
as candidate. The appearance of rivalry be-
tween Mr.. Crowley and Governor Cornell
which this new turn in the situation develops
is significant of the armed neutrality - that
has long existed between Vice President Ar
thur and the Governor, and introduces an
element of difference among the followers of
MIR. COnkling which the candidacy of Mr.
Platt repressed for the time being.

Yale won at New-London yesterday, as it
was generally expected she would, but the
race was closely contested, and Harvard showed
great spirit, being beaten at last by only two
lengths. Yale had gained lead of about q
length and half in the first half-mile
OF the race, but lost it under the brave
pushing of the Harvard boat, which crept
up 80 steadily that in the second mile
1t was at times difficult to say from a
distance which boat was ahead. The struggle
here and at the finish are described as without
