N, Hezman for Su- pervisor, John McCool (Mozart) for Register, and Dr. Schirmer for Coroner. Mr. Tucker also rose to power and position as a follower of the Mozart chief in his warfare on Tammany. _— The Union majority in Indiana is about 14,000, and would bave been much larger but fo ral distriets. Messrs.

Swann yet Asserts his jarisdiction, there will be ample time for a change of opinion. At least, there is little reason now to expect serious trouble. Some of his owu fricnds have begged him not to take the dangerous step, while, on the other hand, the legal ground assumed by the Commissioners secms to bo impreguable. e Our Buenos Ayres correspondence, published this morni informs us of some more severe fighting be- tween the Allies and the Paraguayans, with heavy losses in wen on both sides, the loss of an important outpost to the latter, and of & mouilor, a bombship and & ganboat by the former. The Paraguayans are proving themselves a stubborn foe. The aimy of Lo- pez i brave and enthusiastic to a degroe, and if the Paraguayans are ever to be subdued by the Allies, evi- dently thiat will not be without a further tertible sac- rifice of human life. —_—— A trial is about to take place in England destined to be ranked with the most celeb “canses” of modern times. We allude to the measures which are being adopted by the Jamaica Committeo to bring ex- Gov. Eyreto the bar of his country to answer for causing George Wm. Gordon and others to beillegally put to death dui the late reign of terror in the Isiand of Jamaica. The verdict in this case will be of immense importance. Englishmen are wont to boast that British law throws its protection equally aronnd all the subjects of the Empire, without regard to creed, color, or rank. The resuit of Eyre's trial will show whether the life of the colored man is indeed a8 sacred in the oyes of that Jaw as the life of bim of the white skin. It will be seen that eminent connsel have been engaged to conduct the prosecution of the ex-Governor. It has turned out just as we have said it would with regard to the Canadian Confederation scheme. The project “hangs fire.” Lord Carnarvon, the present British Colonial Minister, declines to commit himself to the plans of the Confederationista; and, to judge from the tone of the English press in dealing with the subject, the whole matter will have to be remitted to the peopla, not of Upper Canada only, but also of the other provinces concerned, for reconsideration and final decision by popular vote. The politicians, like McGoe, who are seeking to establish a sort of hybrid monarchy on our northern border, are, therefore, so far balked in their purposes. Not that the Derby Ministry would be In the least unwilling to help them in carrying ont their designs; but there is at present a force of circumstances which even a Tory Cabinet are compelled to respect, or, at least, to treat with some outward show of deference. Pending the settlement of the question the one way or the other, it is to be hoped the politicians will be able to preserve their composure. They need not fear annexation to the United Smtes just yet, When the fear is ripe, Con- federation or no Confederation, it will drop by the operation of o very simple law. Where there is gravitation there must be a centripetal tendency. THE EMPRESS OF MEXICO. ‘The report received yesterday by the Atlantic Cuble that the Emperor of Austria has ordered a steamer to sail at once from Trieste for Mexico caunot fail to be generally understood as confirmatory of the rumors prevalont concerning the insanity of the Empress of Mexico. We gave in our issue of yesterday the ac- counts of the French papers which seemed to leave no doubt on this subject. The failure of all the plans which the Empress hoped to carry out in Europe seems to have shattered her nervons system, and ac- cording to the letters received in Paris from Rome she became, while in the latter city, a raving maniac, Hor brother, the Count of Flanders, who intended to moet her at Miramar, was sent for from Rome to ac- company her from that city to her old palace, It would be premature to say whether this painfal event will in any way sccelerate the departure of Maximilian from Mexico. It is a curious coincidence that just at the time when the news of the disease of the Empress reached Parie, 8 dispateh was received from Maximilian stating that everything in Mexico was going on + The terrible effect which the total fallure of the mission in Europe has had upon the mind of the Empress can, however, scarcely fail to shake the confidence of the Emperor in his own cause, and to haston the execution of the design of loaving the country which he, in vain, tried to rogenerate agsinst its will, and to return to bis old palace of Miramar. Fow men in modorn times Liave bad to pay more dearly for & helief in the noliti. oal horesy that in the State everything should be done for, but nothing through, the people.

He is eminently supported wi and Mr. G worthy of Tu the 114 District (part of Brooklynand the country towns of Kings) Mr. Van Brunt has an excellent prospect. Hard work will elect him. In the IIId District, James Humphrey (now de- ceased) was elected two years since by 584 majority. We trust Mr. Chittenden, who is a zealous and inde- fatigable Republicau-Unionist as well as an and succos<ful merchant, will bave at least that ma- Jority. The XIth District we cons: sure to Van Wyck. It was only by 240 in '64; while Senator Low carried it by 531 last year. Col. Van Wyek is very popular, is cauvassing vigorously, and is bound to succeed. In the XIIth, Col.

The XIMth is bard to ¢ year (for Senator) nell is widely and de: for his election. The XIVth has always been against us; but Mr Ramsey is vory popular, a hard worker, widely con- nected, and his friends assure us that he has a good chance of elect We kuow they mean it, and trust they will win. As to the remaining districts, they are all certain to choose Republicans except the XXXth (Buffalo), which we are confident will elect Mr. Clapp by a We found no one in Butfalo port. lect Col. ; but we lost it last =4 majority.

We are confident that they will now choose at least 20 Republican-Unionists to the XLth Congress; being the number chosen from the entire State in 1861, New-York will keep even stop with Pennsylvania in the grand march toward All Kights for All —_— § E AND SUFFEAGE. Elections, in this country, furnish fine opportuuities for study; and as wo have a protty important one closo d, we waat those who have doubts abont Im- partial Suffcage to open their eyes and their ears, to look about them aud to listen, and to decide for them- selves whether the possession of a property qualifica- tion of $250 always makes a man n safe, trustworthy, honest and intelligent voter—whethor a whito skin (without the $250) nsates always for the lack of that amount of money—whether any Black can be more ignorant, stolid and knavish thau a great many Whites who will vote for Hoffman, and possivly for Fenton—although that kind usually do contrive to be on the ide of patent democrac, chether those who most passionately howl againat ** nigger” voters are themselves the ornaments and safeguards of the com- monwealth—whother we can go on forever nsing a logic which facts refute, and ranting about equal rights while practically denying them, and whether, if we must have a property qualification or perish, it would not be a good plan to make a few at least of the light- colored freemen exhibit the condition of their ex chequers before casting their votes. The reader, be he Democrat or Republican, is specially requested to bear in mind that we are not arguing now for or against Impartial Suffrage. For the present, we are willing to regard the question as an open one; but a3 it is & question which sooner or later must be decided, we cannot conceive of u better chance than our clec- tion offers for practically investicating the subject, and for coming to & couclusion based upon common sense and the cheapest kind of consistency., ‘We take it for granted that our readers, or most of them, desire to do what is right in the premises. All we ask of them is not to assume, under the influence of habit or prejudice, that Impattial Suffrage is & thing not to be thought of—a chimera, a notion im- ported out of Utopia. It would be frightful if & ma- jority should become hopelessly wedded to such an opinion; because then Wwe caunot, for the life of us, soe what there would be to save our whole political fabric from tumbling to pieoes. For nobody can deny honestly that it ia founded upon the theory of Impar- tial Buffrage. Here, again, we are not about to argue that the said theory is a good one or a bad one; but when s man who would (if sufficiently whiskified) knock us flat for asserting it to be bad, turns round and practically eats his own words, and goes in for & aristooracy, by limiting suffrage according to his caprices, we bave @ right mildly to intimate that this champion of Democracy is either a fool, who doos not know what he is talking about, or a knave who wants to swindle a fellow creature out of something which, if not money, is yet money's worth—whioh will procure for the privileged and knowing, groeen- hacks or * goes"” of grooery gin, or jobs on the streets, or somo other indeosnt or decent emolumont. What wo want is Lo Lavo this qugstion of Lmparvial Suffrage impartially adjudicated in the popu tribunal, not forever sottlod by snap judgments and traditional prejudices and base selfishness. ‘Wo should have a Convention, it for nothing else, atleast to consider this matter and come to some conclusion based upon common kense, and a full exhibition of the facts and arguments upon both sides. 1§ a man pleasos to thiuk, after sufficient investiga- tion, that au aristooracy of wealth or birth or even cuticle is the most desirabla—that suffrage should be limited and not frec—that the right to vote belongs only to thoso who can get it and keep it, let him pro- ¢laim bis conclusion; only bing careful that he does not hoist himself-with his own petard, that he does not exelude himael! by his own limitations. If, on the other hand, there aro those who, honestly believing in democratic forms of government, aro willing to run thio risk, if there b any, of following their principles, no matter to what point they may lead, wo doubt if such can find any botter argument in support of their vinws, thon the fact that New-York passes often and often through the shock of & populat election, with almost univorsal suffrage, withiout coming to absoluto anarchy and ruin, If we are saved by a partial and incomplete consistency from oligarchy, or & govern- ment by the fow, why sionld wo bo so ungratetul to the democratic principle, as to give to it ouly a half way assent, when, according to our own theory, the woro we have of it tho purer and more vigorous will ba the Government ! This is & question which, in the presont state of the public mind, a Convention must discuss, and, therefore, if for no other reason, let us bave a Convention. s A NEW BANK TAXATION. 1t is understood that agents of the Government now in this city are visiting each National Bank having Government deposits, with a subscription paper in aid of funds for the Johnson party. They have a private paper showing the amount of the deposit in cach bank, and will extort afax proportionally, No political coercion attempted of late by the allies of the Presi- dent exceeds the outrage of a demand so meanly criminal and tyrannical, and wo shall not fail to call carnestly on Congress at its next session to investi- gate the secret of the business thoroughly. If it shall then be found that any National Bank paid ont the money of its stockholders for a venal party purpose, its charier skould be recalled at once. _— RAILWAY TO THE PACIFIC. ‘The opening of new railway routes means more farms to be worked, more tools to be made, moro la- bor to be bired, more food to be bought. Every mer- chant, mechanic, farmer and laborer, has thoreforo a direct interest in the speedy completion of the great Pacific Railway which is to bring into market the vast and froitful tracta of the great Western plains, with all their luxuriant products, and s to afford speedy and safe transportation of persons and property to the hitherto almost accessible mountain territorice. It is u matter of public interest that another link in this national chain bhas been put under contract for speedy completion. Already, the Pacific Railroad of Missouri conveys the traveler 2+ miles from St. Louis to Kau- sas City, whence the Missouri River Railroad (leased by the Pacific Railroad Company for & term of years) will carry him to Fort Leavenworth. From Kansas City, the Union Pacific Railway proper will further convey him 140 miles to Fort Riley and Junction City, adistance of 420 miles from the startiug-point upon the Mississippi. Thus, from the eastern limits of New-England to the very heart of Kausas, there is & continuous line of rail, with no intervening break sver—an advantage which no other route to the West can now offer. ym Junction City, the line is to be rapidly ex- teuded. A contract has been entered iuto for the of a distance of 230 miles by January 1, »n for 66 miles being already purchased and in process of delivery. When this contract is completed, there will remain less than 200 miles be- tween the locomotive’s whistle and the shadow of the Rocky Mountains at Denver City. It will thus be seen that, in a little moro than one year from this time, there will be a railroad in operation for & dis- tance of 670 miles west from the great commercial city of 8t. Louis. Junetion , the present terminus of the Union Pacific Ruilway, is now the starting-point for the overland stage and express lines to Deuver, Salt . | that mecting, many of the leading railroad minds of the country were present, and exprossed their deter- mination to carry this great work forward with the utmost diligence. Such men’ s Col. Thomas A. of the Pittshurgh and Steubenville, and Judge Hugh J. Jewett of the Central Obio, ex-Gov. Dennison, R. M. Shoemaker, and W. H. Clement of Obio, and John D. Perry, C. 8. Greeley and others of St. Louis, are not the men to enter into any nnwise or impracticable scheme, nor, having entered upon any great work, to wuffer it to languish in their bands, Mr. Shoemaker was at that time appointed Chief Engineer of Con- struction on the work, and Col. Wright (Gen. Sher- man's Chief Engineer in the Atlanta campaign) holds the position of General Superintendant, We have here no space to attempt any estimate of the great results which will follow the completion of this railway ronte from the Atlantic to the Pacific. By means of the overland mail and the railway, so far as completed, lotters aro, even now, being carried from Denver to New-York in five days—n speed never before accomplished nor attempted. The celerity of movement of which this is but a sample has caused the transfor to this route of the great British lotter mail for China via San Francisco. The great advantage possessed by this route, as we have stated above, is the fact that there is by it no wearisome staging between isolated sections of rail, but a continuous line of railroad from the Eastern States to the furthest pont yet reached by the irou horse. An advertisement elsewhere in this paper gives fur- ther information respecting this greatwork. To that, and to the officers of the road, we commend those of our readers who are personally, or through their frionds, interested in cheap and rapid transportation to the mining and agricultural districts of the wonder- ful West, .

Hoffman, Ho is of course hand and glove with the Hoffmanites, and is running in their interest, with intent to elect their man to Congress. The Republicans of that distriot will snpport CnArLES 8. SpexcEr for Con- gross, and will elect him. Stowart is nowhere iu the raco, and well you know OUR COURTS. ‘We have occasion often to complain of our Courts, and with a full senss that the good of society requires that their faults and shortcomings should rather be concealed than exaggerated, we are unable to pass in silence somo of the abuses that they tolerate, if they do not originate them. We have, howerer, held our peage for a long time past, believing that most of the obusos have had their origin in this ever-to-be- oxecrated system of electing Judges, and in the firm belief that that greatest political blunder of any time or any State is soon to be rectified by the Constitu- tional Conventiou, which all good men of both parties aro going to vote for at the November election. We cannot, however, but notice with approbation the an- nouncement of Judge Barnard at Chambers yesterday —published in another column—in which he declares his intention of sitting from 9 to 10 o'clock six morn- ings in a week, through the year, as at Chambers, for the purpose of relieving whet we believe is generally known among the lawyers as the ** Bear Garden™ of the Court. We do not refer to this so much for the purpose of praising Judge Barnard—for we bave no disposition to bestow praise simply because an_officer Qischarges Lis bounden duty—as for the purpose of asking the learned Judges why this was not done be- fore, and why it has not always been done—not by one Judge only, but by several or all the Judges? When these learned gentlemen were at the bar earning perhaps loss than $5,000 a year, they thought it no hardship to be at their offices as early as 8 o'clock in the morning. If they were working forany corporation ot person other than the public—tho forever plandered public—would it be suggested that their convenience would not permit them to be at their places of business earlior than 10 o'clock? We are told that this an- nouncement on the part of Judge Barnard has met, or is likely to meet, with opposition from the other Judges. We beg to say frankly that wo do not be- lieve it. Pray, let us ‘ask, in whose interest would they object? In the interest of the public? With their kind permission, we would undertake to answer for that. In the interests of the Bar? A thousand voices from their ranks will answer for that. In the interest of suitors? Ask those who pay counsel for waiting a whole day to obtain an order that should be got in ten minutes, if s judge could be got at. Nor yetisit possible that such an objection should be made in the interests of the Judges themselves—for if not over fond of work they will be grateful to Judge Barnard for relieving them. We think of no other interest that can raise an objection—none indeed that it would be respectful to hint at. We congratulate the bar upon the prospect of hav- ing their morning business promptly and satisfactorily done. The delay that has so crippled the practice of the profession for the past, few years, arising from the abuse to which we have reforred, is, we trust, at an end. We cannot doubt that the praiseworthy ex- ample of Judgoe Barnard will be followed by the other Judges. The Daily News thus manfully rebukes the juggling of the Tammany wire-workers to conccal from the rural districts their sale of a seat in Congress to John Morrissey : . “ The Leader, as the organ of Tammany Iall, must bo willfu in its misrepresentation. Mr. Morrissey Loy ot been nom- o by Moart Mall, and The Leader knows it.

LBl THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The Constitutional Amendment is being generally dis- cussed in the South, and journals at fisst bitterly vpposed to it are disposed to accept it—some on the ground of its justico, others because the Rebol States can obtain uo easicr terms. From those in its favor we quote the fols lowing passages: 1t is our solemn conviction that the South must act at once. Our Legislature must ratify the Coustitutional Amendment before Congress meets. If this is'not done, stronger terms will be iusisted on by Congress. Wo agree with moderate Northern journals, that there is no hope, with the present temper the Northern people are in, for the South to expect better terms.
