Here, too, wa bave the evidence, con- clusive and overwhelming, to the effect that this constitutional amendment to those ten States ig the ultimatum of the North, and that to the end of Presidont Jolnson’s term of ofive there is na prospect of anything more favor- able from Congress. The issue has been tuirly tried between President and Congress, and the verdict settled to the Fourth of March, 1869. The President, therefore, can do nothing and has nothing to hope for iu continuing to advocate his restoration policy against the plan of Congress, Ax a patriotic man and as a statesinan of experience aud sagacity, we ex- pect him to yield the roud to the amendment and to let it take its courme.

Thus Wade Hampton and Parson Browalow, Henry A. Wise and Jack Hamilton, Ben Putler and Fer- nando Wood, “Old Thad Stevens” ond Jumes Brooks will be free, if they choose, to form a joint stock combination with tho women’s rights and spiritual circles and all the other schools of demagogues, reformers and fanatics, We put Mr. Brooks (who has had better luck than “little Jack Rogers’) in this category, because of his services to Stevens at the Inst session of Congreas, and because we suppose he will follow the same tactics hereafter. The late demooratic party is effectually used up, and its elements must be recast in a now form and with 9 new name; for the prestige of the old name has been changed by its war re- cord into public contempt, The republican party and the opposition party of the coming Presidential contest remain still to be organ- ized. President Johnson, wisely co-operating with the conservative republicans of Congress, fn this view of the situation, may still wield a controlling influence in establishing the party of the suocession. The Modern Sodom and Gomerrah on le Good Behavior. Country editors and country parsons are waxing fat and happy over the wickedness and the folly of this doomed clty of New York. They pull very long faces and preach very long sermons and condemn us to death and destruction. Nothing less than a shower of fire and brimstone from heaven to bury this modern Sodom and (iomorrah in ashes will coatent these rural philosophers. We are so very bad and so very fond of enjoyment and 80 very democratic that » new Dead Sea must cover us, Our theatres are so immoral, par- ticularly that of Manager Wheatley; ou Broadway is so very like that brond road which leads to death, because thousands walk therein ; our Iadies are so wickedly fashionable and have such sinful good taste and dress so much betior than their pious country cousins ; and, worse than all, our democratic majority of fifty thousand is so very large and so very hard to overcome except upon some such for- tunate issue as the constitutional amendment, thot really our rural critics have no hope tor us, That great democratic majority, they say, is enough to damn any city. Now, we might reply to all this, if we had not # better answer at hand, that it is the country people who make Now York so wicked. They come here and encourage all the immoraiilies of the motropolis. Whenover anybody in the country wants to do wrong he visits New York to doit, These rural saints and angols fin’ their way into places in this city which native or resident New Yorkers have never even seen. It isno wonder that they preach 0 much about our criminality; for they come in contact with more of it during thoir brief sojourns than we can meet with in all otr lives, The fact that some of the most disre- putable haunts in the metropolis are supported entirely by the patronage of our rural censora is beyond dispute. The police never make a descent upon some den of vice without captur- ing at least half a dozen John Smiths from the interior. If a theatrical manager discards the legitimate drama and permits exhibi- tions of an immoral character the New Yorkers blush, frown end stay away; but the eountry people crowd the house. It is the country folks who sustain our thieves, pickpockets, baggage smashers and other ruffisns, who would soom starve or join the church if they had only our shrewd citizens to deal with. In a word, if there is to be a shower of fire and brimstone, we advise our rural friends to provide themselves with fire- proof umbrellas; for a thousand or two of them will certainly be here at the time and in localities where even the Paid Fire Department cannot save them. But we hope that this beautiful and splen- did metropolis is not beyond the reach of mercy. Sodom and Gomorrah would have been saved had they coniained ten righteous men, and we hope to be able io muster that number by the time*that the red hot coals are ready for us. Miles O'Reilly, about whose righteousness there cannot be the. slightest shadow of a doubt, will do well to start with, and Thurlow Weed and Comptroller Brennan are already ov the anxious seat, as the Metho- dists say, and in a tair way to he converted by the power of saving grace. Besides this, wo observe upon every hand earnest efforts to- wards improvement. Ristori bas been here, laboring to reform the drama, and will resume her very successful missionary work next week. Dawison, the greatest German actor living, bas taught the east side of town the principles of high art. An English actor, Mr. Charles Dillon, whose friends claim that he is the hereditary snecessor of } Kean and Cooke and the eriginator of the colloquio! school, bas just arrived at the Broadway to aid Ristori and Dawison in their reform movement. When Mr. Dillon | first came to New York he was crowded out of the theatres by the Forrest aad Booth monopoly ; but now he has a fair field before him and can achieve 4 magnificent repuiation, If he have the power and the genias, There | is no great American tragedian to compete with bin. Booth is only an imitator of his father, who was nn fmitator of Kean, and Forrest is by no means #0 good & representative of the Black Hawk school as he wae thirty yoars ago, having simply degenerated from @ wild Indian to a tame Indian. If Dillon can reform the stage, we will give him the credit for It, just as we bave given the American Jockey Club credit for reforming our racing. The spectators at Jerome Park are now ibe best, most elegant and movt refined ladice and gentlemen of the city, and since gamblers and gambling bave been benished from the race course we surely do not deserve fire and brimstone upon that account. The late elections were also in our favor. It is true that we gave an ovefwhelm- ing majority for Hoffman; but the city and gounty offices are very acceptably filled. If we sent Wood, Brooks and Morrissey to Con- grona, it is only that they may be returned to us reconstructed by association wich rural legia~ lators, The Corporation “ring” is broken, and the next Legislature will give us a Board of qoutcoveres between the republican conserva ; Works and various other reforms On the’ whole, therefore, we respectfully request Provi- dence and our rural friends’to have patience with us, posipone the fire aud brimstone busi- ness, and give usa fair chance to bring forth frufis meet for repentance, and acoure corner lots on the Fifth avenue of Panadise. Reform and Revolution iu Rugiuad, There is no mistaking the character of the movement which Jobn Bright has set on foot. It has been qualified as @ mere reform agita- tion, but it is in reality a revolution. Its im- portance is to be detected in the terrified tone of the tory press when alluding to it and in the fact that it fe rapidly drawing within its lines the working classes of the three king- doms, In the enormous gatherings which are assembled wherever its leaders are announced to speak, and in the enthusiasm displayed by them, we @nd unmistakable evidence of the intensity to which it has stirred the popular heart. There has been no such stern determ!- nation manifested on the part of the great body of the Bnglish people since the time of the civil wars. ‘They have oast aside the idea of all mere palliatives for the oppressions under which they are laboring, and are bent upon effecting a thorough and radical change in their governmental system. It was just such a des- pair of poliiical remedies and unbelief in ralers which led to the first French revolution. The existing state of things in England can scarcely be said to be less provooative of a resort to violent means; for the people are boing ground into the earth by taxes, and are, generally speaking, in as impoverished and helpless a condition as was the population of France previous to the convulsion which cost Louis Seize his head. One of the most curious features in this im- pending cataclysm will be the divergencies it will occasion in the sentiments and conduct of the men who are now at the head of affairs, As a general thing there will be a stubborn resistance to it on the part of the old whig as well of the old tory families, They have such a largo stake in the existing state of things that it would be too much to expect that they would favor any changes which would go to dis- turb the tenure of property. And yet (hey know as well as we do that without the abolition of the law of primogeniture there can be no re- lief for the overcrowded population which is shut out by it from the cultivation of the large area of soil which “is kept for the pleasure parks and sporting reserves of the aristocracy. They have not the courage to own to them- selves this fact, and will resist to the last its acknowledgment. But among them are a few men who have earned rank and distino- tion by their owa talents and who wil not allow themselves to be dragged inty the ruin cansed by such obstinacy. Foremost among them is Disraeli Bofn of the pcople, and « Hebrew by exiraction, he has ne tle to bind him te the aristocracy save that of his personal interests. He bas used the tory party merely as a means of promoting his ambition, and the moment that is becomes powerless to do that he will unceremoniously abandon it. He isa man of too much genius and sagacity not to adapt himself to such changes as the neces- sities of the times bring about, We should not, therefore, be surprised to see him before long fighting sido by side with Bright in the cause of popular advancement. ‘fo him revolution oan bring no terrors save those of political extinction, and this, we feel certain, Mr. Dis- racli will so shape bis course as to avoid. Cry Avrams Avrer tam Exection.—From the indications given by the late election of the real power of the elements opposed to the “city rings,” it seems very probable that in the next charter election we may be able to smash that corrupt political machinery, to defeat all its candidates, and thus, by straighiforwerd voting, afford some amelioration to the misgov- erned condition of the city; and yet what can be done in that way is not enough. Even at its best, nnd with the best administration of our government that we could hope to have, the whole apparatns of municipal affairs is so essentially deficient that we should still be in a pitiable state, We must look to the Legis- lature for the only satisfactory remedy, We mnst have osiublished here, by the State autho- rity, a Board of Works that shall displace the Street Comupiasioner and all similar powers, and have absolute and complete control within awide sphere of city affairs ; that shall have charge of every street and avenue on the is land and of the great’ public franchises, A Board with such powers, and constituted as the Central Park Board is, would be of some real advaniage. Without auch a Board, and ay we are now goiag on, the population of this metro- polis will soon be driven out of it and city property will merely be a burden to its own- ers. The aggregate anuual renis of this city are about thirty-two million dollara, and the taxes amount to twenty million dollars; tone | nearly two-thirds of the product of real estate In this city are swallowed up by our terribly corrupt system, And at the same time that we aro Jurdening property with this taxation— burdening the rontpeyers thus fearfully Miaka!) give away to anprincipled monopolists fran- | chises that ought to pay every cent of the city | taxes. We give to railroad componies com: | | i plete control of the whole surface of tha streets, ood we give to gas companies abao- | lute possession below the surface. Suppose that, instend of operating the Croton ‘water supply by an official system, that groat interest had also been given away to private specala- | tora? The people would have paid tea times | what they now pay for water, and would bave | been at the mercy of grasping capital. This is | Teally the case io gas, and that is one point | where there must be a great reform. There must be another in our railroad system, and others still in the markets and ferries, Proper legislation in such points, and a wise adminie tration of the law by a Board of Works, would decrease taxation, decrease rents ond enable the people to secure the necessaries of life at immensely lewer rates than they now get. To lighten the burdens of the people, to prevent the very depopulation of the metropolis, we must have the great reform, municipal ad- ministration must be put in the hands of « commission of bonorable men and taken com- pletely out of the control of the corrupt, degraded and desperate plunderere of the “ring.” Ocr Cramms Agarst Exotaxp.—We should like to kaow what progress has been made in the matter of the Alabama claims. That little bill must be settled up before we can respond to the amlcable sentiments in which Puglish Statesmen aad orators are just now pleased to NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, i886. | indulge towsrds us. and not is lef¥ fo the State Department it will drag on until ff fs flaally lost sight of ‘The should come out with » declaration iit tis ! coming message that ifthe English gdvern- ment does not at ence do us justice in regard to these claims we will take and hold Canada as compensation, We guarantee that it will bring them to as prompt @ conclusion as did Andrew Jackson’s message threatening repri- sals on French commerce in the matter of the French claims. Who Will be Our Next United States Senator? The State Legislature, on the second Tues- day after its organization, will elect a United States Senator in place of Hon. Ira Harris, whose term expires with the present Congress. There are two prominent candidates—Judge Harris, who desires a re-election, and Mr. Horace Greeley. Several other republicans aspire to the position; but as they stand no chance of success, they can scarcely be considered as in the race, As between the two candidates, considering all that has passed, wo regard Mr. Greeley as the best man for the Senatorship and as having the strongest claim upon his party. Itis true he has been very extreme on the negro quos- tion and has put forth some singular notions in his day; but of late he has taken a sound, practical view of questions that have been forced upon the country by the war. He has favored moderation and conciliation towards the Southern States and has accepted the con- stitutional amendment asa final settlement of the quostion of restoration. Moreover, he has recently laid aside his white hat and rusty overcoat and has appeared on the streets in a decent dress, like any other Christian. Some cavillers may feel disposed to find fault with Mr. Greeley for saying that he believes the election of three negroes to the Massachusetis Legislature will not do any harm. We regard this as very sensible remark; indeed, the negro represent- atives will not only be harmless, but may be made of practical use, if set to work by the other members, at shaving and cleaning boots and shoes, The Legislature cannot do better at Its next session in Albany than to elect Mr. Greeley United States Senator and settle the question at once. Mr. Raymond and Thurlow Weed, the. old enemies of Greeley, are laid on the shelf with Mr. Seward. We do not suppose that fhey will operate against him in the State Legislature, and, if they do, they cannot Influ- ence a vote one way or the other. The Heratp is in favor of Mr. Greeley, and that is more than sufficient to overwhelm all the Seward in- fluence in the State and to leave Mr. Greeley a fair field for his fight with Judge Harris. But we dosire to make these conditions with Mr.,Greeley, If he is elected Senator he must stick to the constitutional amendment, oppose - the impeachment of the President and all auch mad-brained schemes to disturb the peace of the country, behave decently to Andy John- son and dress like # Christivn. We have no doubt he can readily agree to our terms. He is a ‘sir minded man, and as he has evinced a kind and lenient disposition towards ex-Presi- dent Jeff Davis there is no reason why he should not be charitably disposed towards President Andrew Johnson. Tur. Jumer, Wit Case.—The trial of this case has been commenced by the choice of a jury, and will go on in the comiug week. Vory im- portant principles are involved in this trial. In every land where there has been a church, and in all ages in which spiritual influences have been exercised, those influences have heen accompanied by a great abuse. Priests have availed themsalves of their position newr the dying to concentrate the possession of property in their respective churches, Tuking advan- tage of the confidence reposed in their secred office, they have abused the tuith of the peui- tent sinner by promising heaven tiself a- an exchange for a clause in his will that should put the church in possession of bis worldly goods. This was one of the ways by which the church came to possess such vast territo- ries in some European countries, In Evglead, France, Italy and Spain the church owned at different times half the soil of those respective countries. Its extensive possession of the lend Was a great evil. It paralyzed agriculrral de- velopment and demorslized industry. It was the source of evils that history has never fatly delineated and that may be seen to-dsy in the condition of Spain and Mexico, and to a lee extent in Italy, just now endeavoring to rid herself of thia incubus, Only by passing through the most temendons revolutionsry ordoals have other nations overcome « trouble apparently so insignificent iu its origin. In the Jumel will case we see in our midst the | germ of this evil. Mme, Jamel, just before ber | death, and while subject to the influence of so | called spiritual attendants, willed nearly the whole of her immense property to religious societies and religious individuals, Of her property, estimated at» million and a quarter of dollars, only ten thousand dollars wore given to her relatives.

There was some opposition in this city on the part of politicians, hui the people have decided that the convention shel! be held. It is of the gravest importance that the qnestions which will come up most promi- nently before the convention be discussed fully and fairly, both by the press and by the convention, There are certain reforme which } will he 90 generality demanded that the only | qneastion with the coavention will be as to the | hest shape in which to adopt them. Among | these are the appointment of the Judiciary; the j method of governing the city of New York; the Increase of pay of members of the L ture and State officers; the abolishment of the legislative term of one bundred days; and other matters which will present themucives prominently to the public mind. All of these polnts will be fully discussed in the public press, and we believe that when the time comes both political parties will recoguire the necessity of putting forth theit best maturial os candidates for the convention, What we yant-are acts,/ Tan Nexr Casares Exzorton—tfi lees We fear that {the matter | fou the citizons of Now York will upon to elect a Comptrolicr and moxe> bers of the Common Council. The electiga which has just closed has settled the qnestion as to the power of the people to get rid of their corrupé rulers and to put honest men fq * thgir places, The success of Miles O'Reilly over Tammany and Mozart combined shows that the “ring” can be thoroughly routed in December. But it will b8 necessary for the friends of good government to go seriously to work and to organize in every ward in the city. An election fund should be raised and proper machinery put in motion at ence, “ring ” will strain every nerve to retain power, and will use the peoplo’s money liberally for that purpose. Let them be met in every ward by ® thoroughly organised forc@ of independ- ent voters; let all our-respectable taxpayers resolve to take an interest in the nomination of good men, and go to the pollaand vote for them on the day of election, and the ¢ity wit be redeemed. ; Joun Barcar’s Visrr ro Ineaxp,—Irtsh 568) is just now threatened by twe invasions, whie® give a good deal of disquietude to its rulers, The one is that of Johe Bright, the other thas of Head Centre Stephens. Ot the two the most formidable is unquestionably the visit of the ” Quaker reformer. A few extra regiments aad half a dozen revenue cruisors are all the pre- paration that it will be necessary to make for Stephens, Against John Bright all the troops and cannon in the United Kingdom would not be a sufficient protection. Let bim ence get talking to the Irish masse@ and there iano say- ing to what extent his influence with them wilt be pushed. They are go little used to prac- tical views on the part of their politica! leaders that the charm of his common sense eloquence cannot fail to have a powerful attraction fox them.

He will convince the Irish people that whatever improvement is to be looked for im their condition can only be offected by a cordial concurrence by them in the great revole- tionary movement which ho hos iraugurated.
