ment of many methods of preventing it,
The first and most natural of these seems
to be q coating of some substance, aud

perhaps the best protection that sheet-iron

The Reign or Anarchy In the CITY.


The Supreme Court of this district has been
occupied for a few days past in hearing the
lengthy arguments Of counsel in a suit be-
tween the Corporation of the city and the
Metropolitan Police Commissioners, TO test the
the constiiutionality of the law Of the last
Legislature by which the licensing power here
tofore possessed by the Corporation was sought
to be transferred to the Police Board. The
arguments were closed yesterday aud the
decision is reserved. The law in question
was enacted in the shape of clause in the
tax levy, and tackled on to the bill in the
practice on the part OF the friends of the Com
missioners. The Common Council, it will be
remembered, Immediately after the adjourn


ment OF the Legislature, repealed oil the city


ordinances regulating and providing for


licenses, in order to prevent the contemplated


transfer Of The power to the police authorities,
and lett virtually without any municipal


laws. This action was designed to checkmase
the Police Commissioners, and il was 10 be
followed up by the enactment Of new city
ordinances, 10 which IL was supposed the objec-
tionable clause in the tax levy would not apply.
The Commissioners paid no attention whatever
TO the proceedings Of the Common Council.
but at once prepared to set in motion the
machinery for issuing licenses, without refer
ence to the Corporation; and the pending suit
Is 10 test the legality Of their action. The
| whole matter Is an indecent scramble for spoils


and power in mixed and muddled govern
mem, without any responsible head While the
Corporation was buying up the Legislature for
| its own purposes, on one hand, others were
operating upon the members against the Cor
poration and in favor Of the City Commission
on the other hand, and the whole result de-
pended upon which side could do the
greatest share OF lobbying and corruption.
The expenses of the litigation and the


heavy fees of counsel fall upon them and
help to swell their taxation to over twenty
millions Of dollars. There is only one remedy
for all these evils--the state Constitutional
Convention must provide in the organic law
OF the State such system of government for
all political divisions--cities, towns and
counties---that henceforth the people will know
under what sort OF rule they live. We must
be governed in New York by one executive
head, elected by the people and directly re-


sponsblc to the people, and the powers OF the


Common Council must be limited strictly to


necessary municipal Legislation. Then we shall


be protected alike from grasping commissions,

Chief Justice Chase Before tho JndicIaEv


Committee-Is He 90 be Impcacbeae


The Congressional inquisition, known as the
Judiciary Committee, has suddenly started CO
new tack. After having been sitting daily
peachment against the President or against
anybody else, and after having examined vast
number and all sorts Of Witnesses on every
conceivable subject without coming to any
decision or reaching any tangible point On
which to hang q case, the release Of JEFF Davia
has been seized upon for investigation, and y
likely TO afford materials for inpeaching some
one. Here the Committee is standing on good
ground; here 1t has something tangible 70 60
upon, and is no longer chasing an ignis fatxsss.-
The liberation of the chief traitor, without
even the form Of trial, and hence the virtual
declaration that there is no such crime as 'trea-
son, deserves impeachment, if anything doAs,
whoever may be the responsible party. II
there be no treason, the government is a rope
of sand, and there is no security for the future.
Whoever; then, has been guilty, through OH
cial misconduct or neglect Of duty, in bringing
the republic 10 such humiliating situation,
certainly deserves impeachment The laws
have been violated, rebellion and treason have
sacrificed million Of lives and created thou
sands Of millions Of debt, the republic has been
placed on the verge Of destruction, aud yet
those whose duty it was to vindicate the laws
and to make treason odious have winked
at the crime and let the chief traitor 60 un-
punished.


Who, then, is the party to blame? Ths
Judiciary Committee, it appears, has under
taken to inquire, and has. had before 1t Chief
Justice Chase and Judge Underwood. We are
not informed what was the evidence given or
what is the opinion of the Committee; We know,
however, what should be the common sense
and logical decision. President Johnson said
a long time ago that he was ready to surrender
Davis to, the judicial authority, and that the
prisoner was only held by the Executive ~
the police hold prisoner, waiting to surrender
him 10 the courts whenever called for. Mr..
Chase, as Chief Justice of the United States
as the head Of the Judiciary-should have seen
that the laws were vindicated. 1t was clearly
his duty to have taken up.this important case
and disposed Of it long ago. It came, In fact,
within the circuit over which he exercises
special judicial authority. Yet he neglected.
and at one time refused, ON . mere bubble, to
bring JEFF Davis to trial u not this sufficient
cause for impeachment Hit is not, there never
was q cause for impeachment in any case in this
country. The Judiciary Committee has really
. good case before it now, and the calling 81
the Chief Justice and his subordinate, Under

Proposed sale Of the NIiautcnomoh and Other


Iren-Clad- to the Czar or Russia.


In yesterdays HERALD we printed series of
special kilograms from different European GEN.
tres From one Of these kilograms, dated st.
Petersburg, May 25, ii appears that proposal
has been made by our government to the Gar
Alexander to sell him the Miantonomoh and
other first class iron-clads. II further appears
that the proposal has been favorably enter
tanned. We are not informed, in so many
words. that these vessels are intended as part
payment for that portion Of this continent which
Russia has so handsomely handed over to u.s.
This however, may at once be taken for
granted. We get territory which is Of little
value to Russia, but OF some value to us. Rus
sia gets iron-clads, which are of little value to
us, but of some value to Russia. We each bene-
fit the other, and at cost which Is no sacri-
fee to either.


This transaction sets the United States before
the world in an entirely new character. In
putting down a gigantic rebellion IL was
necessary for us to blockade some three thou
sand miles Of sea coast To do this power
full navy was necessary. Now that the rebel
lion has been put down, and that we have re-
sumed the cultivation OF the arts of peace, we
have no desire to initiate the improvident con-
duct Of the Old World by allowing our ships
to rot in the dockyards. We wish to turn them
to the best account possible. We are not un-
willing that other governments should benefit by
our labor and experience. When the time shall

to the wants Of the hour. We have many more
ships for SALE We are willing to part with
them for reasonable compensation. We do not

Cengregaties Of Crowned Heads In PnrfS-


What fs to Oesc Of Ns


After fifteen years Of apparently fruitless
labor Napoleon has at last been successful in
gathering around him the crowned heads and
leading princes of Europe. The p0rvenu Of
1852 commands something more than respect
IN the haughtiest and most exclusive courts OF
Europe. The last time the princes made their
entry into Paris their presence was token Of
humiliation to France; this time their presence
Is token of exultation. Then they came to
exact reparation for the wrong doings Of
Napoleon and to render such wrong doings
impossible for the future. Now they come to
do honor 70 France and to be the guests Of
Napoiscu's aephsw.

he has not been unsuccessful. We should not
be surprised if he tried il again but meanwhile,
and ell things considered, it is moro conve-
nient to act as their host A number of royal
visitors have already arrived. In . few days

the Emperor of Russia, with The Empresss the
Emperor and Empress of Austria, the Sultan
OF Turkey-we are not told whether with or
without his harem-are all at one and the

Of course, to visit the Exposition and the other

imperial persons win not be the least attrac-

Paris at this season will present.

hopeful aspect. In all probability 1t will pave
the way to final solution of the Eastern ques-
