To-morrow may be decided the Inst legal question arising out of the recent conflict of NEW YORK HERALD. defence, in which be considered they had do.’ honor to themselves and soclety."" The counsel who appeared were Jacob Burnet, afterwards « member of the Senate of the United States, Ar- thar St. Clair, eon of Gon. St. Clair of revolu- tiooary memory, William Creighton and Heary Brush, subsequently members of Congress, and Lewis Cass, all well known names in the carly history of Obio. ‘The immediate cauee of the attempted impeach- ment may be thus briefly atated. An act had been paseed by the Legislature, giving to Justices of the Peace jurlediction in all cases of debt to an amount not exceeding fifty dollars. The consti- tutionality of this provision for all sums exceed- ing twenty dollars had been contested, and the Court of Common Pleas for the Third circuit and the Sopreme Court had decided its unconstitu- tionality. This decision occasioned great excite- ment in the State, and after some abortive efforts led to the impeachment of the obnoxious Judges— ‘Tod of the Supreme Court, the father of the pre- seut eminent citizen of Ohio, of that name, and Pease, the President of the Third Judicial Cir- cuit, before whom the question was first brought. Without going into unnecessary detail, the point in coutroverry will be rendered sufficiently obvious by quoting gue of the charges against Judge Peese. It exposes the pretension of the House of Representatives in its true color’. It authority between the Legislature and the mani- | chaz ges‘ that, sitting as President Judge, he had cipality of New York. On that day Judge In- graham will pronounce his judgment im the matter of the Street Commissioner difficulty; and that decision may put an end to all further litigation on the subject. As in the case of the Metropolitan Police bill, as soon as the question is decided by the competent autho- rity immediate obedience will be yielded to the mandates of the law. Any ulterior action which the importance of the constitutional principles in- volved may suggest will be reserved for the poils —-that tribunal of last resort to which the Ameri- can citizen is satisfied to carry his grievances. It is a tortunate circumstance for the stability of our political institutions that our people eo fally appreciate their general soundness that they are not induced to push their feelings of resentment and sense of independence to the point of col- lision with the law. This mederation and self control are to be attri- buted to the changes which time has made in public opinion, without any authoritative inter- ference in regard to the main principles of our political system. The most careless observer of our history cannot fail to have remarked this tendency, and will easily recall instances of its operation. What more striking illustration of it can, for example, be found than that furnished by the recent conflict between the city and State authorities? A brief review of the facts of that struggle will serve to show the extent to which this rerpect for aud obedieace to the law are car- ried by the American people. The Metropolitan Police bill passed last win- | ter by the Legislature arbitrarily dispossessed the citizens of this great commercial metropolis of a most important branch of their right of eelf- govertment—nomely, the control of their own local police, which they had always exercised, and placed it in the hands of a Board appointed by the State authorities-a usurpation of munici- pal privileges which the Parliament of England has never yet dared to undertake. This legislative interference was resisted on the ground of its unconstitutionality, by which those who epproved and those who advocated the measure were placed in a slate of violent and active opposition, threatemiug daily to be con. verted into armed hostility. Every lover of in ¢ try looked on with anxiety, prec ia acsafe tapes hy ae) | Iaws, and soon throw the whole political machine | doubting and fearing the result. But there was a redeeming principle which controlled and restrained these elements of mischief, foond that it wasin the power of an impartial tribunal to decide this vexed question of consti- tutional law, to which the most heated parti- sans profersed their readiness to submit. Aad well was this profession carried into practice. The interposition of the judiciary was invoked, and it was universally agreed that the decision should be authoritative, and peaceably settle the matter in controversy. A case involving this great constitutional question was brought before the supreme jadicial tribunal of the State, and , it wae decided that the obnoxious police arrange- ment was within the constitutional power of the Legislature, and therefore valid. No sooner was the decision prosounced than tranquillity was reetored. Al! opposition to the measure ceated, and it is now in aa full force and éficiency as avy other provision in the statute beok. This submission of the people to the de- cision of the people's judges is a most honorable trait in our national character, and a conserva- tive one, too, without which, indeed, there would be no safety forus. Difference of opinion must necessarily arise in the execution of the powers of government, as well federal as State; and with- out this appeal to the umpirage of reason, pro- nounced by a common arbiter, the resort would be to physical force, with all itatrain of evils, But this universal acknowledgment of the just authority of the judiciary asa balance wheel ia cur political machine bas, as we have already decided on various occasions that the Court had | full power to eet aside, euspend and declare null | and void the fizst eection of the act defiaing | the duties of Justices of the Peace.” Or in other words the Judge had | decided that section to be against the consti- | tation, and therefore of no force and effect. This | was the principle involved and brought to a so- | lemn judicial decision in there cases. The trial | for impeachment was conducted with a good deal of warmth, approaching violence almost, and its | progress wad watched with much amxiety by the | people of the State. The judgment was pro- | nounced on the 20th day of January, 1809, when | Judge Tod was acquitted by a vote of—gullty, | 15; not guilty, 9. This mumerical majority was not eufficient for conviction, as the constitution | of Ohio required for that purpose the concurrence | of two-thirds of the Senate. Judge Pease was | subsequently tried, and was acquitted by a simi- | lar vote on the 6th of February following. It is | a cnricus circumstance shown by the record, that two of the Senatore—Irwin and Kinney—changed their votes. The former voted guilty in Tod's case, and the latter not guilty. In the case of Pease they changed positions, Kinney voting guilty and Irwin not guilty. As the real ques- tion was the same in both cases, and the facts not disputed, the motive for this course it is difi- cult to conjecture. One vote more added to the majority would have established in Ohio the principle that the judiciary has no right to de- cide upon the constitutionality of a law, thus leaving the Legislature practically omnipotent. established the principle that the law-making power is not omnipotent, and that it must, in its turn, occasionally yield obedience to the triba- nals which are the specially cosstivu‘ed guardi- ans of the rights couferred by the constitution. Ii is well for the permanence of our institutions tbat we bave this protection against the Igno- rance ana dishonesty of legislators, who are, generally epeaking, nominated to their high | trust merely for their party services, and who are liable to be made the ready tools of political as- pirants. Were it otherwise all confidence in the | integrity and purity of our political system would be destroyed, aud individuals and communities | would place their own construction upon the | into confusion. It is the conviction of these facts which has given to our courta of last resort an authority superior even to that of the govern- ing power, and rendered them virtually the bal- | decisions, no dangers can ever menace us from our own excesres. With such a safeguard, and the remedy afforded to us against evil doers by | the ballot box, we need be under no apprehen- | sion that in our regard the bopes of the enemies | of republican institutions will ever be realized. Common Sense on Crry Avvatns.We see that a meeting of residents of the Fifth ward was held on Wednesday evening to take counsel in reference to the death of Mr. Van Liew ; and that at said meeting, certain speakers inveighed against the city authorities, called furiously for Vigilance | Committecs, and offered to take a lead in getting | up a revolution. We have no desire to burt the | feelings of any sincere friend of Mr. Van Liew's; but we can only say that, #0 long as the Seventh | Regiment exists, any attempt to organize a Vigi- lance Committee in this city will be a bad busi | ness for its authors. We believe and have no | doubt that the military of this city would shoot | down revolutionaries without the least hesitation, | Whether they wore the garb of Vigilance Commit- | tees or of Dead Rabbits.

It is deduced from the natare of our institutions, and our political or- ganization, and not from any expresa grant. The generation has not yet passed away which saw it flercely contested and denied. Some fifty years since it was a subject of warm discussion in al- most every part of the country, though we are not aware that it was at that time brought to a formal decision in any other State than Ohio. ‘There, however, the proceeding assumed the most imposing form by the impeach nent of two Judges hy the House of Representatives, and by their trial by the Senate, for deciding an act of the Legislature to be unconstitutional. The incident is worth a brief retrospect. A cursory account of it is given in the preli- mioary eketch to the statutes of Obio, prepared by the present Governor Chere, Bat many of the characteristic facts throwtng light upon the proceedings and the parties survive only in re collection; those who were personally concerned in the tranesction bave almost all passed from the elage. We have made some foquiry, and can fod only one person now liviog who was a prominent actor in this strange judicial drama. ‘This eurvivor is the present Secretary of State, Gen. Cast, who was one of the counsel who vo- luntecred their professional scrvices upon this occasion, and who made the closing argament in the care of Judge Tod. This gentleman was a Judge of the Supreme Court, and his trial was firet brought on, and in fact the battle was fought aud the issue settled in his cose, Judge Tod, in making application for permisston to be beard by counsel, said that “the most reapecta- Me gentlemen of the bar had tendered their ser- vices, ia oyder to assist bjm ia conducting his | District Attorney, under whose regime the nam- | ber of untricd indictments, and unprosecuted criminals has grown unprecedentedly large ; and wpon all the city authorities generally, who are | without exception neglecting their duties. | We desire to make particular reference to the new Board of Police Commissioners which daily exhibits a spectacle of pucrility of which collegians would be ashamed. These Po lice Commissioners seem to have nothing to attend to but their private quarrels, apites, and hopes, Gen. Nye and Mr. Bowen, who proved that the act could not alter their dinner hour: are, after all, only types of the entire body. The city, every one admits, is ia a terrible state; men are knocked down and murdered in populous streets, at an carly hour of the evening; fifty thourand dollars worth of property are stolen by burglars in a few days; neither life nor property enjoy the protection to which they are entitled. ‘The laws are not obeyed; the city ordinances are openly dcepised. Yet while these things are going on, and hot headed citizens are rowsed to the point of calling for a Vigilance Committes, the Police Commiseloncrs consume their time in pereonal altercations and frivolous disputes about trifles. If there be a man of sense in that body— one single man of seare—we adjure bim to warn hie colleagues that the public are beginning to view their proceedings with intemee disgust. People do not care one straw which political party predominates in the Board, who is Street Commissioner, or what is the hour of sitting; but they do care that the police shall be efficient; and that end, they know, cannot be attained so long as the Commissioners mo their public duties to give their whole attetition to questions of per- onal pide aud personal pique, Since the above, numerous other decisions have | ance wheels in our political system. As long as | | the American people continue to respect that | | authority, and to yield a ready obedience to its | FRIDAY, JULY .51, 1867. Kacct of the India Mutiny on Commercis' Affaire, It is ore ef these anomalies which il'vatente the intense conservatiom and slowness of the Foglish mind that the mall which brings us de- taila of the most disastrous outbreak that ever occurred in India Hiewise annources a reduction fn the bank rate of interest. Oc the etrength— ove might almost suppese—of ax overwhelming commercial disaster, the Eoglich restive to ex- hibit signs of confidence, and symptoms of ease. ‘The fact is, the reduction in the baok rate of interest was resolved upon some weeks back, mainly on the strength of the gold arrivals from here; and the Erglish are too steady going a people to alter their purpose for such accidents as the probable overthrow of the Iadian Empire. The prospect is that, like the last reduction, the step will presently have to be recalled. For, independently of contiderations imme diately affecting the mouey market, it is quite certain that this outbreak in Icdia will do more to injure the commercial standing of Eagland, and produce a scarcity of money than any event that has happened since the fall of the elder Napoleon, We are now enabled to atate posi- tively that, so far from exaggerating the state of affairs, the telegraph actually mitigated the worst features ef the news, and did not dizclozo the whole awful reality. From the list of elegraphic despatches between the various Inéian authorities, it is quite obvious that the whole sepoy army and a great portion of the pecple of India are already in open revolt. At the time these despatches left, say seven weeks ago, the report from ell the Preeidencics was, either that mutipy had broken out, or that it was expected. Ry this time, war is undoubtedly gencral. The utmost that the Eoglish can be expected to do is to hold a few strong places until reinforcements arrive ; meanwhile the na- tives will for the first time for a hundred years, ream their own fields in perfect freedom. It will be January, Lord Ellenborough tells us, be- fore the English can expect to take the field with apy prospect of success. What will happen | then, it may be hazardous to predict; but the | chances are that the rebellion will be put down. | England has too much at stake to afford a defeat. She could not hold her place either among the Powers of Europe, or vis-a-vis this | country, if she had been whipped out of India by the naked Hicdoos. We conclude that she will not; and that at any cost of men and money, the rebellion will be put down. From present ap- pearences, it will cost an effort heroic, gigantic, immense; so immenee tbat the effort of the Rus- | sian war will seem @ pastime, and the effort to | crash the elder Napoleon mere trifling in com- | parison. It looks as though it would drain Eng- Jund of every man that can hold a musket, and of every shilling that can hire a mercenary or | buy a bullet. Still, such is the tenacity of the + British character and such the importance of the | stake, that no doubt the effort will be made | promptly, and persevered in till its success. This effort is more important to as than the is- | sue involved, It matters very little to us who | vules India; but the absorption of all the spare | funds of England ia a long and distant war is of | the very highest moment to this country. The | contest must—as the Russian war did to » mode- | rate extcat—divert British capital from foreign | investments, and concestrate it at home. It | must compel the English to sll out of this and | that security which they had bought in peace | time when their own funds were high; to turn | back upon our hands all our railroad stocks and | bonds and all the other speculative securities | which they hold: to withdraw all the capital they | have now invested in enterprises in this country. It must cramp commerce in England. Uncer- | tainty to come extent must overhang the contest; | and while the flour and provision sellers and the | shipowners will naturally make money, follow- ers of all other trades are likely to lose it. Such is the experierce of all ware. Estimating that the Russian war cost Eagland $200,000 000 a $250,000,000—we apprehend the latter will be found nearest the trath—-we doubt whether the India matiny will be suppressed for double the sum-considering the distance at which the war Is to be waged; the numberof the enemy; the expensiveness of living in India; and the extent of country to be overrun and recon- quered. But really, euch estimates lack one ele- ment of plausibility; they are not founded on anything like experience; there has been no pre- cedent for such a contest as this one, since the Goths acd Vandals overthrew the Roman em- pire. Can Ratiroad Fares be Ratsed t The latest novelty in the railway world is the attempt of the New York acd Erie Railroad, in concert with other enterprises of a like kind, to raise the fares eharged to passengers and freight, The ground of the change is the utter incapacity of those roads to earn interest on their debt and stock ; a fact e@ well established that time need Bot be lost in argument to demonstrate it. This incapacity being notorious, the managers of the New York and Erie, the Michigan Southern, and other lines come to the conclusion that the reason | must be that they charge too little for the use of their roads, and decide to attempt a new «ystem under an increased tariff of rates. We may remark, en pussané, that this is not the first time the experiment has been tried by the Erie Railzoad: bigh tariffs have been frequently tried on that road, with the invariable result of diminishing its traffic, asd building up the New York Central However, this l& of no consequence. When a business man finds that he is not earn- ing money enough to live in bis house ia Fifth avenue, to keep his horses, and his dozea of servanta, to give his dinners, and sport his yacht) | we should think that the very last remedy that would suggest ifself to his mind would be to double the sakry of bis clerks, and to increase the price of his goods. The very youngest clerk In his office could tell him that euch a plan would rather plange him deeper into embarrasement than tend to extricate vim Yet thie plan, it seems, ix the only one which commends itself to the minds of the directors of railways, The only remedy against insolvency they can think of is to double and quadruple the salaries they pay, and further to double the tates charged the travelling public. They launch out where an individaal would retrench; they try to dimini-h, where an individaal would strain every verve to increase hiv busi- nees. With such wisdom are our railways man- We have inquired on former ccosdons whether, o« a general rule, railroade ever would pay, a# Incrative enterprises, in thix country, ‘and we came to the couclucion that, considering the iden which governed their construction, their hasty completion, their niggardly equip- the start, they could not, This conclusion we arrived at on the general principle that the re turn for the outlay made tg railways war re im}ussed in the enbanced value given yo the land traversed, and could not be expected tn.'2 over, But other and more special reasons forbid the poreibility of making our leading railroads prodnetive property. The leading railroads of the United States ave, as a general rule, cost nearly twice, and in some in- étences more than twice as much as they need have coet, bad economy been an object with their constructors, For instance: the New York and Exic, and the Cenical, cach of which cost nearly forty millions, could now certainly be byth built for that sum; the Michigan Southern, whi¢h oost eXghteen millions, coutd be built for five; the Michigan Central, which coat thirteen, could be built ;‘or five; the Cleveland and Toledo, whic coat eigh%, eculd be built for less than four. . So on with the pthers. In every instance, the actual cost of the rowed far exceeds the sum which, in proper bands, wad bave built it,and set it a going: the balance has been partly squandered, and partly ebared among the directors and cou- tractors in the sbape of bonuses, dc. It is thus rot only upon the cost of the enterprises, but up- on a large additional eum—often as much more —thrown away or filched by directors, that these railroads ere now called upom to pay interest When they fail to do.so, the corapanics want to put up the fares. It may seem a very convenient plan for the railway men to pay off their own losses and knaverics by the aid of ataxon the travelling public, But we apprehend it will not be found to answer. Increase of fares will oause dimuni- tion of traffic; produce, especially, will not come on, at the present low prices; and six months of the high tariffs will leave the roads poorer than they were before. Nor, indeed, would it be pro- per or decent or rational tbat at this late day the public should be called upon to pay for the stosk- jobbing losses, ard the daring depredatioas of the pirates of the railway world.

It was this ¢llsinter- ested devoticn to their cause, joined to bia unvtyalieg merits as a lyrical writer, which endeared the decent pret to the hearts ef bjs countrymen, and shed around Mis memory the balo of unsuilied patrictism.

Tissot, “Napoleon could ‘pot obtain a line from the pen of Berarger; bat the Great Captain, betrayed by fortune—the representative of the glory of the century—tho man of genius who bad made such marvellous effoits to sggrandise and honor our country—the benefactor and say !our of kings, chained by {hem to the rock of St. Holena, inspired the mort religious attachment and the most elcquent admiration in the pation: el poct.’’ Nothing can more forcibly or more truly deptes the geperous and whclosouled character of (he maa, Beranger was born in Paris, on the 12h of August, 1780, im the house of bis grandfather—~a poor tailor.

To him, in all probability, Be. Tanger was indebted for bis lively and fertile imagiaa- on, though to his grandfather and grandmotaer he ua- questionably owed the general steadiness aod consistency of bis character. Whilst with these good peopie, he was ‘© spectator of the capture of the Basi!lo—an event whick, forty years later, he celebrated by his muse within the Dara of the prison of La Force. Shortly after that momo rable event he left Paris for Peronne, where ho was con- signed to the care of a paternal aunt, who kept an ion ta ome of the faubourgs. Here this worthy woman may be raid to bave assisted :omewhat in shaping bis destoy by placing !n his hands Telemachus and a few volumes of Racine and Voltaire, which she possessed.
