THE VESTRROOK REPORTS.

The Judiciary Committee of the Assembly,
which was directed to investigate the conduct
of Judge Wcstbrook, in relation to suits
against the Manhattan Railroad and all other
leases worthy of attention." reported yester-
day. The Committee consists of eleven mem
bers seven Democrats and four Republicans.
OF these, five MISUNDERSTANDING the chair
man of the Committeeman three Republicans,
report against impeachment, while the re-
mainder of the Committee report in favor of
impeachment.
The majority report is much the longer
document of the two. 1t first takes up the
Manhattan Elevated Railroad charges, disIos-
ing of them in the order in which they were
presented The action of Judge Westbrook in
holding court in the room of the directors of the
Manhattan Company, in the Western Union
Telegraph Building, is found to have been
perfectly proper under the circumstances, and
the room "was not in any sense the Office of
@Jay Gould, as has been enormously stated"
The charge that Judge Westbrook became
party to a conspiracy for the purpose of depres-
sing the stock of the Manhattan Company has
been, says the report utterly exploded. Not
"only is it true that no conspiracy has been
@proved, but il is also true that the evidence
shows that no such conspiracy could possibly
"have existed" The report is equally en-
phatic in its finding that no conspiracy existed
between Judge Westbrook and Jay Could
The Committee say that this charge is wholly
@unproved. There is no evidence in the case
showing any connection between the action of
"Judge Westbrook and Jay Gould" In regard
to the next charge, that the correspondence
which took place between Judge Westbrook
and the receivers and their counsel was in it
self violation OF official duty on the part of
the Judge, the report has considerable to say.
The gist of it il. that since the correspondence
was not between the Judge and a party liti-
CANT, but between the Judge and officers of the
Court, that therefore there was no violation of
official duty. "The Court might with entire
"propriety confer with the receivers as to the
situation and management of the property in
"charge, and obtain from them information in
regard to Its condition, and such conference
" and consultation might, with equal propriety,
- be had with the counsel of the receivers" But
while thus expressing themselves, the Com
mittee concede that portions of the correspond

"Conkling disclose the names of these men and
@expose them to the shame of having given
"him such advice. Whom did he consult at
Washington before resigning his place as
"United States Senator Did he consult any
" of his friends there or in this State ' lie
"never consulted them. He went back on them,
"and now seeks to put the blame of his defeat
for reelection on their shoulders. Yes, let us
"know who was responsible for that defeat"
That is a plain and sensible proposition, and
we are surprised that Mr.. COnkling has not met
it long before this. The friends " who gave
the advice can have no reasonable objection TO
the publicity. They are not great statesmen
with public careers at stake Publicity Will not
iniure them, but their silence under challenge
is injuring their ilustrious friend. IL he Will
not give out their names, they should come
forward and make themselves known. 10 be
sure, Mr. Conkling says the charge that he
went on his own advice is 4" foul SANDER
and a "caumny," which is tantamount to
declaration that the advice was pretty bad, yet
devoted friends ought not to be restrained from
n worthy act of self-sacrifice by so trifling
thing as that. Besides, it cas bad advice,
whoever gave it.
We have confined ourselves to the main points
in the controversy. There has been evidence
offered in support of the original charge OF
bargain, but as those offering it decline to
publish the documentary evidence which they
profess to have, that part OF the original IN
dictment must be considered as not proven.
Assemblyman Congdon has furnished evidence
in support of the general impression that Mr..
Conkling resigned. in order to be vindicated"
by a reelection but that point is so well estab-
lished that further proof was hardly needed
The unsettled point is that of advice. Mr.
Conkling says friends advised him to go to
Albany and fight for yindcatOn, and that
none Of them advised him to get out OF the
fight before he was beaten. General Sharpe
denies this, and asks for the names of the
"friendsr This is neither a foul SANDER
nor "calumny," but a Unstable demand FOR
proof, and Mr.. COnkling can answer it without
compromising his great dignity. lie should re =
member that the demand is made by an emil
nent Stalwart and not by miserable Half
breed"

remedy that could not fail to prove eficaclous.
But it was regarded as blow at popular
suffrage since il limited the voting for members
of the Board of Finance to tax and rent payers.
The Commission held that the true principle OF
representative government was that In the
choice of body which is to control the pubic
moneys all who contribute to the fund, and no
others, should have voice. I" After the most
careful deliberation," is the language OF the
report, aour conclusion is that the choice OF
the local guardians and trustees OF the IMAM
cial concerns of cities should be lodged in tax
apayers.n The conclusion was challenged, and
so the work of the committee came to naught.
The relief to be afforded cities under the
amendment to the Constitution which has just
passed is less radical than that for which
the Evarts Commission provided. but perhaps
il is Just as well that it does not go further. II
it attempted more it might fail altogether, II
not in the Legislature, with the people. The
changes in the organic law which it calls for
are wholesome, and the only wonder is that
they were not made long ago.

his experiment long, but the new line is in such
hands and will have such facilities that if there
is any profit to be made by American steam
ships in the Brazilian trade the projectors of

deal to stimulate that revival of American
