The reported occupations of San Luis Potosi, Guadalajara and Aquas Caliente were confirmed, The San Luis garrison re- treated towards Mexico city, and the liberals entered the town on Christmas day. Mejia’s army was completely demoralized, and he himself was sick and disheartened. President Juarez arrived at Durango on the 13th of De- cember. General Sedgwick was still at Brownsville, Our advices from Rio Janciro are dated December 3, and come by way of Lisbon, Portugal. The rivers Amazon, Tocantines and San Francisco have been thrown open to the trade of all nations, A riot had taken place between the Brazilians and Portuguese in Pernambaco, in which eighty Portuguese and one hundred Brazilians were killed. Three hundred Brazil- ian soldiers had arrived at Montevideo. There had been another violent storm in Buenos Ayres, The Fenian trials at Toronto were resumed yesterday. Timothy Kelly was found guilty and condemned to death by hanging on the Sth of March next, John Smith was acquitted. The Hawalian bark Maora Kea left Port Gornole, Washington Territory, for the Sandwich Islands on the 2d of November, and was wrecked near Koskomo Sound on the 25th of the same month. The second mate and a seaman were drowned. The masts were cut away, and the vessel floated helplessly for fifteen days. Those on ‘board were finally captured by Indians and reduced to slavery. Two of them succeeded in escaping, after forty days’ captivity, and arrivea at Victoria, V. L, om last Tuesday night. The captain and the rest of the crew are still in slavery. ‘The question of adopting the constitutional amend- ment is to be reconsidered in the Virginia Legislature, which rejected it recently. This movement is brought about by letters to the members from their constituents, received since its rejection, urging them to vote for its adoption. Ina reconsideration it will be urged to sub- ‘mit the question of ratification to the people. Judge Meredith, of the Richmond Circait Court, has decided that the Virginia Stay law is unconsttutional. The Colorado House of Representatives has protested , through Governor Cummings, against the admission of ‘that Territory as a State into the Union on the ground that it has not sufficient population and the people have had no opportunity of expressing their wishes in regard to the matter, The Equal Rights Convention of colored men recently holding forth in Washington have passed a series of resulutions claiming the elective franchise and fall representation, The resolutions will probably be pre- sented to the Reconstruction Committee to-day. The Michigan Legislature yesterday adopted resolu- tions favoring the impeachment of President Johnson od thanking Congress for passing the District Suffrage bili over the veto. The Kansas Legislature ratified the constitutional amendment yesterday. The members of the Maryland Logislature from the Eastern and Western Shores reported in favor of Govor- nor Swann for Senator in caucus last night, on condi- tion that the basis for representation in the next con- vention shall be the same as in 1864. The balloting in caucus will take place on Monday night and the election on Tuesday. Governor Morton was nominated for Senator in a caucus of republican members of the Indiana Lezisiature jast might The President’s Impeachment—The Plan of Operations. The opinion seems to prevail that the pro- ceedings commenced in the House of Repre- sentatives looking to the impeachment of the President of the United States will end in smoke; that the movement is only a ruse de guerre, or a sharp diversion against the admin- istration, and that there is no design entertained by his accusers of pushing the affair to the indictment and trial of President Johnson be- fore the Senate. We have information from Washington, however, which justifies the oppo- site conclusion—that Ashley’s resolution and the pending inquiry of the Judiciary Commit- tee of the House are but the initial steps to a deliberate purpose on the part of the republi- cans in Congress for the removal of President Jobnson from office, and phe any gern dels slay. : y The plan of Pr which it is sai been agreed upon is this: The House Com- mittee on the Judiciary will make up their report in favor of impeachment, and it will be adopted by the House betore the close of the present session. A commitiee will then be appointed and instructed to go, in the name of the House, and impeach Andrew Johnson of certain “bigh crimes and misdemeanors ” be- fore the Senate, and demand bis trial upon the charges preferred against him. The Senate will then postpone the matter to the meeting of that body in connection with the new Hoase of Representatives on the 4th of March, for the reason that on that day the term of one-third of the present members of the Senate expires, and new members to a considerable extent, including several radical gains, will take their places. With this meeting of the 4th of March the Senate will first proceed to the election of their presiding officer, and Benjamin Wade, of Obio, itis supposed, will be chosen. Mr. Wade, therefore, as President of the Senate, in the event of the removal of Andrew Johnson, will become President of the United States under on existing Jaw of Congress made in pursuance of the constitution, With this contingency thus provided for, the Senate next, as a high court of impeachment, Chief Justice Chase presiding, will pro- geod to the trial of President Johnson upon the indictment of the House oud will pueh the trial rapidly forward, and, as it is bo- | lieved by the proseoution, to his conviction and removal from office, It is predicted that within two months from the commencement of this triad (if not with its commencement) An- drew Johnson will be displaced and Senator Wade will be promoted ‘o the White House. But for what offonce is President Johnson to be reméved by a vote of two-thirds of the Senate? The constitution, article IV., section 4, says:—‘The President, Viee President and all civil officers of the United States shall be re- moved from office on impeachment for and con- viction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” We have heard of no accusations of treason or bribery against Mr. Johnson, but in these “other high crimes and misdemeanors” of which the two houses of Congress possess the power to judge him they have a wide latitude for a judgment against him, right or wrong. The constitution does not declare whether the President or any other civil officer of the United States arraigned before the Senate on an impeachment shall be suspended from that point in the functions of his office subject to the final issue of the trial; but it is surmised that the Senate at the outset will take the reeponsibility of a decision upon this question. And here the danger is apprehended of a conflict and a violent shock to the financia] world, resulting.im = general appears to be pursuing @ policy—Greeley’s policy—in behalf of premature specie pay- ments, calculated of itself to lead to a financial collapse, and therefore the greater the danger of this calamity with the opening or ending of the President’s trial before the Senate. We can only admonish all parties concerned to trim ship for the coming gale; for otherwise it may result in numerous shipwrecks. We are still in the midst of a great revolution, and the issues resulting from such a tremendous civil war as that from which we have just emerged are not to be settled in a day. The Situation—What Is It? We live in a transition age. Everything is on the move. Every one feels it, but whether the movement is forward or backward, upward or downward, the wits of the wisest are puzzled to tell. The Mexican muddle is no unfit type of the muddle which is everywhere—East, West, North and South—in the Old World and in the New, “Dissolution,” “dismemberment,” “reconstruction,”* “rearrangement,” are the popular terms of the time. The world’s rulers, from the managers of the Associated Press and the Western Press to the managers of great States and empires, not excluding, by any means, the members of the United States Con- gress, are in deep and grievous perplexity. It would be strange indeed if, in such a con- janctare, and when men everywhere are so eagerly listening, the world’s oracles were dumb. Within the last few days portentous voices have reached us from different parte of Barope. Baron Ricasoll, flinging his ultimatum at the bishops and grandees of the Italian Church, gives us his view of the situ- ation. Count Bismarck, plucky as evér, wishing for peace, but bidding def- ance to all the world, tells us what he means to do. Prince Gortschakoff, addressing his imperial master, prates about “the extinc- tion of Austria,” the “humiliation of France,” the fature glories of theSlavonie power, which “4s destined to acquire the dominion of the land as the Anglo-Saxon Power is of the sea,” and thus offers his solution of the difficulty. The oracle of the Tuileries is as yet dumb; but, in spite of the restrictions imposed upon him by the comirg Exhibition, he must soon speak out. John Bright has told us what he thinks, and now we wait with some degree of impatience to hear what Lord Derby has to say. James Stephens may possibly have some- thing to say on the subject. We are likely to have explanations and opinions enough. How soon the chaos is to break up, or what is to be the character of the new world which is to emerge from it—whether better or worse than the present—we know not. What we do know is that all are moving, moving, but toward what unknown bon we may not ven- tare tomy. oteg b Sana tac The Condition of Our Common Council. A doubt has been entertained for many years by respectable people whether Congress or the Common Council of New York was the worse conducted body elected and assembled for legislative purposes. The late scene in the Chamber of the Board of Councilmen, where the interests of this great city are sup- p2sed to be discussed and cared for, settles the question for the present and decides it in favor of the superior baduess of the Common Conn- cil. It is nota subject for merriment, but a very serious matter, to which we call the atten- tion of our fellow citizens and the State Legis- lature. It is no excuse, though unhappily but too true, that Congress showed the example. Hurling inkstands and drawing knives and pistols have too often disgraced the national | councils. Of late, however, things have im- proved, and Speaker Colfax, who is a gentle- man, has known ho- to inspire the bad lot he hag to deal with with some notions of decency aiid gentlemanly propriety. But in the Com- mon ne of New York city ig is no inter! gh work- re oe ee = men who compose that body. No man living can undertake with any hope of success to teach manners, to say nothing of dignity and other civic virtues, to the set of men elected in barrooms and pothouses. From Congress, even in its worst days, some good has come; but none has ever come from the Oommon Council. Look at the condition of New York city. It is one of the filthiest in the world. Americans who visit Europe are aston- ished at the cleanliness and order they find in the cities of the Old World, and feel ashamed of the contrast with this the largest and wealth- iest on this continent. The city authorities of European capitals are men whom their office invests with dignity and honor and to whom their fellow citizens look up with respect. In the matter of expenditure, New York, to say the least, compares favorably with any of those , of Earope; but in the result the comparison is in favor of many poorer if not more popu- lows cities. Our city funds, the fruits of the taxpayers’ hard earnings, are jobbed and frit- tered away ina manner not only scandalous but criminal. Probably as mach money has been spent within the last few years on din- nets, carriages and kid gloves / » Councilmen as would put down a good pavement in and pay for the cleaning of many of our thorough- fares. We not only have to suffer the discom- fort and even disgrace of living in a city almbst every street of which is a nuisance, but oe A we must now be inficted with the additional misfortune of knowing that our affairs are in the hands of men unworthy of the low though honest occupation of a crossing-sweeper. ‘The United States Senate—A Lively Compe- tition tor the Coming Vacancies. As the terms of one-third of the members of the United States Senate expe on the 4th of March, the question who shall fill these vaean- cies yet open, has awakened an unusual number of candidates, The New York vacancy has been settled in favor of Roscoe Conkling as the republican nominee. Greeley’s universal rebel amnesty manifesto laid him out #0 cold that his ‘name was not seriously mentioned in the caucus; and as for Thurlow Weed, his particu- lar enmity against Roscoe was the making of Conkling. So that if both Greeley and Weed have been snubbed, Greeley is still “a leetle ahead.” In New Jersey the contest among the republicans, who have the Legislature, is between Mr. Frelinghuysen, a lawyer, the Governor's appointee, and a Mr. Cobb, a popu- lar dry goods man. The lawyer seems to have the inside track. In Pennsylvania Old Thad Stevens and Forney have been completely dis- tanced by that old campaigner Simon Came- On. In Hifnois Senator Trumbull has several active competitors for his place, but the chances seem to be in favor of his re-glection. In Missouri a stiff contest between Governor Fletcher and four or five others has been set- tled in tavor of a prominent radical named Drake, who, we bope, will not turn outa lame duck. In Kansas they have two Senators to elect, and of course the border men of that fussy radical commonwealth are in a high state of effervescence; and whether this or that radical succeeds it is all the same. There still remain some other Senatgrial places to be settled among the republicans; but as it is pretty evident that the extremest radical in each is most likely to be the favorite, nothing more need be said of them for the present. The democrats and conservatives of Mary- land, in securing the Legislature, through Forney’s folly, have a Senatorial plum, and a little dispute over it as to whether it should be given to Governor Swann or the Eastern Shore; but Swann will probably get it, and with all his trouble in the late fights with the old radical Baltimore Police Commissioners and Forney he has fairly earned it. The net result of all these elections will doubtless be a radical Senate, with a larger radical majority than at present, and sufficiently radical to push through the impeachment of President Johnson. City Railroads. We see that the underground railroad scheme has been revived in the Assembly. It contains a number of fresh provisions, profess- ing to meet the objections started against it last session, but which in reality are mere evasions of them. It is all nonsense to bir j of forcing through this bill. The general sen! ment of the public is against it. What we want is not s multiplication of our present street obstructions, but a comprehensive and practi- eal scheme, which will rid us of all such an; noyances, while it will increase the facilities of passenger traffic. To obtain this we must do away with all the existing lines and con- stract eight or ten new ones, running parallel from the Central Park to the Battery, between and over the houses, By this plan the thorough- fares could be cleared of rails and street cars and a good macadamized surface obtained on them, thus rendering them agreeable for car- riages and other vehicles. The objections to the cost would not be very serious, secing that the lines would run through the yards of the houses, and that at an elevation which would detract but little from their useful- ness. The idea of constructing them on such s high level seems a little startling & fret; but there ig ig pegiiiy nothing Shjection- able in jp ce has shown tbat the Ed is not less safe or agreeable, while we know that it is infinitely less costly, than the ordinary system. There is scarcely a city in Europe in which thickly inhabited quar- ters are noi traversed by lines thus built. Take London, for oh at There_are the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the Blackwall lines, which reach their termini in the heart of the city over the roofs of the houses. In Bath and other provincial towns a similar plan of construction is to be observed. Its advantages are directness of route, cheapness and avoid- ance of the regular thoroughfares. We need not enlarge on the necessity of the same con- ditions as the basis of any general plan for the reconsiruction of our street lines. They are more indispensable in the case of NewYork than in that of any other city,.in consequence of the small area to which it is restricted. If we goon adding to the lines built on the present plan the city will soon become impas- sable by ordinary vehicles, and the number of accidents will be increased to a frightiul extent. We therefore say to our representa- tives in the Legislature that they must oppose each and every project which does not embrace a general reconstruction of the railroad system of the metropolis. As for the underground lite, it is simply impracticable, and looking to the names connected with it we can only regard ites intended to serve asa makeweight for ihe shéme presenting less ph; aiff culties, but not less objectionable. Bro Nana 1 Two Corrmxs.—The nomina- tion of Mr. Roscoe Conkling for United States Senator by the republican caucus at Albany has driven @ huge nail into the coffins of two distinguished politicians—Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley. The former was laid out fiat rand stiff by this aomination, because it was partly in consequence of his hostility to Weed that Conkling was selected over Harris and Davis. As for Greeley, he was barely men- tioned in the caucus. There may be halfa dozen more prominent men also knocked ovor by this affair, but Weed and Greeley are the greatest sufferers. Their coffins are nailed down fast. Poor Ory Taap!—The result of the republi- can caucus at Harrisburg on Thursday, in nominating Simon Cameron for United States Senator for Pennsylvania, shows conclusively that the Jacobin doctrines of Thad Stevens can- not be swallowed by the people of that State. He received only seven votes out of the eighty- one cast. Forney’s influence in Pennsylvania may also be calculated by this number of re- publican votes. It is thus evident that noithor poor Old Thad nor the Chevalier Forney can lead a corporal’s guard in their own State. The stomach of the republican preiy ‘here is too weak to dievst the pernic!-ns (9005 n staff which Old Thad prescribes fi.) em AMUSEMENTS. Broadway Theatre.

The liquor dealers of this city appeared by their counsel before the Court of Common Pleas yesterday to obtain a continuance of the injunction in the case of the Excise law, or an extension of time under the late deci- sion of the Court of Appeals. It will be re- membered tat this injunction was granted some time ago by the Court of Common Pleas, and that since that time the liquor dealers have nad fall swing in spite of the Excise Board. The case as to whethér the Excise law was constitutional or not was carried to the Court of Appeals. That court decided the law to be constitutional. Upon the applica- tion of the liquor dealers the Court of Common Pleas decided that as an inferior court it had no power to reverse the judg- ment of a higher court, and that, therefore, the order granting an injunction was vacated. Under this judgment it is evident the police authorities will enforce the law, and that no liquor can be sold by retail aftor twelve o’clock to-night till sunrise Monday morning; nor can any be sold after twelve o’clock any night hereafter. It would appear that the un- licensed liquor dealers have the privilege ex- tended to them until next Friday either to take out a license or close up their establish- ments. ed the of Dewdrops, which oo hee it thae: ony that itis quporiatlyely Rennie cate Charley White’s Opera House.

The number given for 1865-66 is 726,386, whereas it is stated to have been in 1860, 814,254, and in 1855, 629,410. According to this statement the population decreased during the last five years 87,000. The increase previously was atthe rate of about twenty-nine per cent.

Why, any one looking at this vast expansion, at our crowd- ed thoroughfares, which are becoming almost impassable, and at the growing business in the city, with the increased consumption of every- thing, will pay no attention to these unreliable census returns. These evidences of the growth of New York are unanswerable. The fact is our officials make a muddle of everything, and we have to use our common sense in con- nection with general facts to get at the truth. on. ~ ib dahad CONDITION OF THE CITY TREASURY.
