The House yesterday refused to suspend its rules in order to entertain Mr. Wilson's finan- cial resolution which opposes any greater cur- tailment of the currency than $4,000,000 per month, and favors the issue of legal tender notes without interest in lien of an amount of compound interest notes falling due within the year, and in excess of the fonr millions author- ized to be withdrawn. Our letters from Rome represent the immense majority of the Roman people as patiently awaiting the call of the “Committee of Action. We publish this morning the manifesto of the Committee, which covered the walls of Rome on December 16, Tt warns the people against unknown agitators, and assures them that they will be called to arms when the hour of deliv- erance sounds In his New Year's speech to the Diplomatic Corps, Louis Napoleon expressed the hope that “we are entering upon a new era of peace and “ conciliation.” The dizappointment of the Im- perial hopes in Italy, Mexico, Germany, and elsewhere has, of late, considerably diminished the tmportance which used to be attached to Napoleon's sayings on New Year's day, and ple are troubling themselves less about the rent, the hidden, and the real meaning of his words, We publish this morning letters on the roie struggle of the Cretans, from Gen. € baldi and from Dr. Kalopothakes, a gentleman educated and well known in this country. The former administers a just rebuke to the Muachia- vellian policy of the English Government; the Jatter furnishes some new proofs of the enthu- slasm which pervades the Greek nation, and of the sacrifices which they are imposing ipon themselves to aid their suffering brethren in Crete. An impeachment resolution, offercd in the House yesterday, gave occasion for the reading of a manuseript speach, in which it was s gested that the President was privy to the nssas- sination of his predecessor. Upon this portion of the mannscript in- question, Mr. IHale of New- York founded a call to ovder, but the Speaker mled that according to precedent and law a member may state the grounds on which he advocates a motion for impeachment before actual proceedings of impeachment are begun, The resolution, after a lively debate, went over without a vot The advocates of TImpartial Suffrage in onr City, and especially the race who have so long been the vietims of prejudice and proseription, propoge to celebrate, on Thursday next, the passage by Congress of the District Suffrage t, by a meeting at Cooper Tustitute. They will have therein the hearty symnpathy, and probably the personal presence, of many nent citizens, among whom we are at liberty to name Gov. Hamilton Fish. Among those invited and expected to speak are Wm. Lloyd Garrisen, Gen. DButler, William E. Dodge, Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher, Stewart L. Woodford, George B. Cheever, &ec. Fur- ther notice hereafter. . ’l'In-‘m’lirle on our Wharves and Piers, which we print on another page, will be found es- peciully interesting and suggestive in connec- tion with the bill for the creation of a Metro- politan Board of Commissioners of Wharves and Piers, which the Citizens' Association are now urging upon the Legislature. If there is anybody who does not know how utterly dis- graceful and abominable are the accommoda- tions we afford our vast shipping interest, how far we are behind ofher cities in a particular wherein New-York, of all places, ought to ex- cel, and how strous our present wharf sys- tem must nltimately prove to the commerce of the port, let him read this article, aud he will be wholesomely amazed. A year ago we had 152 piers and bulkheads, of which oaly five were in good order, and five in fair order! Since that time the condition of the wharves has been gradually getting worse, and many of them are now not only useless but dangerous. —_— . The Hon. Lymax TrumpuLL, who was renom- inated yesterday for U. 8. Senator from Ilinois for the term ending in 1873, was born in Col- chester, Connecticut, in 1813, and is now fifty- four years of age. He studied law, and shortly after reaching manhood removed to Illinois, where he practiced bis profession. In 1840, he was clected a member of the Legislature, and in 1841 and 1842 was Secretary of the State. He becamo a Justice of the Supremo Court of Illinois in 1648, and held the position till 1853, He was docted Kepregputative @ Wo IV Congress and to the Senate for the term beginning In 1855, and served till 1861, acting as a member of the Judiciary Committee, and the Committees on Public Buildings and Grounds and Indian Affairs. His course in the Senate secured his selection for the term ending 1867, atid he has thus been a member of that body for 12 years. He was ap- pointed a Regent of the Smithsomian Institution in 1864, Many of the important measnres which originated in the Senate during 1 since the war were prepared by him. The Freedmen's Bureau bill owed much to lis labors, and his gpeech in answer {o Mr. Jolmson's mes accompanying its veto, had marked inflo- ence on the country. Mr. Trumbull was also earncst and influential in advocating the Civil Rights bill, and has this session sus- tained the great principle of the Suffrage bill for the District of Columbia, voting also that educational tests shall not be imposed upon He is Chairman of the Judici mittee, and member of the Committee dian Alfairs, and Public Buildings aud Grounds. TIE SUPRLM. The Supreme Court yesterday, by a majority of one, annulled as unconstitutional so mueh of the present Constitution of Missouri as pre- cludes those who participated in or sympathized with the late Rebellion from off ministers of religion, us teachers in & as legal advoeates in courf. The opinions were pronounced by Justice Stephen J. Field of California, with the concurrence of Justices David Davis of Indiana, Nathan Clifford of Maine, Samuel Nelson of New-York, and Robert . Grier of Pennsylvania. (The two fivst named were nominated by President Lineoln; the other threo by his Democratic predecessors.) Justice Samuel F. Miller of Towa read a dis- senting opinion, twhich was concurred in by Chicl-Justice e of the District of Columbia, and Justices Noah H. Swayne of Obio and Janes M. Wayne of Georgia, (The last named W spointed by Gen. Jackson; the other three by Mr. Lincoln.) The grounds upon which this decision is made may be bri tated. It is argned that the test-oath is directed against acts not de- fined in any code as criminal; for instance, the mere expression of sympathy with rebellion; that guch acts had no possible relation to the Tawful pursuits of the persons committing them; that the oath contrgvenes the clause of the Constitntion forbidding any State to pass a bill of attainder or er post facto law; that the oath is in effect both of these, : NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY because, by an evasion of the Constitu- tion, it imposes the penalties of a bill of at- tainder, and an ex post facto law, and that the Constitution deals with things, not names; that the oath is ex post facto because some of the s for which it imposes the punishment of ation from office, ete., were not known as when the acts were eom mitted; that it subverts the presump- tion of innocence, and perverts the rules of evidence, presuming the party to be guilty, without trial; that it imposes penalties without the form of judicial pre ings; that if the oath is legal the Constitution may be evaded at pleasure, and individuals deprived of (heir civil rights. The opinion of the Court upon the constitn tionality of the test-oath imposed by Congress upon attorneys and coun n sim- ilar grounds, it Nold additionally that a neys are not off % of the United States, and t the Court is not the registrar of the | edicts of anyother power, i. e, Congress, and that (Congress ot impose qualifications as a | means of punishment. It further holds that in the s considered the petitioners had received full pardons from the President for taking part in the Rebellion, and that Congress ecannot | limit the effeet of a pardon [which constitu tionally restores to full citizenship. The dissenting opinion of Justice Miller holds that practice in the Courts is a privilege which Congress may limit, and not an exclusive right; that attorneys are subject to legislation, egqually as jndges; that Congress has the power to pre- acribe their qualifications, and that the oath | imposed i3 not an unjust discrimination ; thet the oath justly makes loyalty in the past, and the pledge of it in the future, a qualifica- tion, It denies that the test-oaths awe in sub- | stance bills of attainder or er post facto, and | argues that they simply require the proof of loyalty as a condition of practice, and not as a | punishment for past offenses. It holds that the President’s power to pardon does not dis- pense with the laws; that “he may save a “criminal from the gallows, bnt a lawyer can- “not by him be readmitted to the bar) We place the substance of the two opiuions before our readers, with the belief that if that of Judge Miller be not the law, we have the monstrous anowaly of a Constitution which gives treason the legal power to evade the con- sequences of treason, and prevents Congress or the States from mwaking loyalty a qualification of office. 8till we do not regret these decisions, the more especially as they will be hailed with rapture by those who are in a state of chronic nervous- ness from apprehension that the States will be absorbed or crushed out by “consolidation.” Here is a “sovercign State” overruled by a bare majority of the Supreme Court, and for- bidden to decree that traitors to her and to the Union shall not teach her children, dispense depri offenscs | safety un | strongly desire to remain such. | and women have nealy all found places else- | hier aid in se religious instruction to her people, nor practice in her courts, We do not object to this; aud you, Messrs, State Rights men! will please make a noto that your oracles rejoice over 1t! commem——— METROPOLITAN TRANSIT. The City of New-York, unlike any other, is cight times as long as its average breadth; and this formation involves an enormous daily movement of its population on north and south lines between their dwellings and their places of business. The broad avenyes and narrower gtreets leading up and down town are thronged with eager pedestrians or passengers, while a very few only of the transverse strects are much traveled. Probably a hundred thousand persons ride up and down town fn Lorse rail- cars or in ommibuses on each secular day. In the morning, the cars down town are uncom- fortably packed with human beings; as are those going up town in the afternoon or even- ing. Multiplying street railroads and stages scarcely gerves to abate this pressure, while it renders onr great thoronghfares unfit for other use. In fact, they have become, to a great ex- tent, mere conveniences for horse railroads. And transit on these is 8o slow 08 to deprive most of us of the little leisure we otherwice wmight hope for. The mechanic who lives in Harlem, Manhattanville, Morrisania, or Youkers, and does ten hours’ faithful labor per day in the lower or business wards of our City, spends from two to three hours more in getting to and from his work, and has scarcely more time Jeft than he requires for eating and sleeping. To reduce the term of transit one-half is to save at least one hour per day to at least 100,- 000 people who badly need it, whilo allowing Wby Wonsauds to Lvg in te Gity, o Wy pry- wmigr ’ fer, who are now crowded over to Brooklyn or Jersey. Very many plans of rapid, cheap transit have already been aired; several of them possessing considerable merit. The most comprehensive, the least objectionable, and the most satisfae- tory, of all that wo have so far examined, is that of the Metropolitan Transit Company, whereof & model is on exhibition at their of- fice, No. 150 Broadway. This plan contem- plates three railroad tracks, one above another : the lower or basement track being devoted to ont-of-town tiaing, especially freight-traine, im- pelled by steam; the second, or ground-floor tiack being given to a horse railroad, stop- ping wherever passengers wish to enter or leave, save while ecrossing a street; the third or sccond-floor track being assigned to swift passenger traing, propelled by station- ary power acting on an endless chain, and only stopping at specified stations, half a mile to a mile apart, and there recciving from or con- signing to the horse-cars passengers who have been or are to be conveyed by them to or from gome point short of the next station. The ad- vantages of this plan are as follow: 1. Any conceivable number of passengers may be brought from Yonkers or Fordham to the Jattery or any point short of it in thirty to forly minutes, 2, They are so conveyed out of the erowd and dust of the streets, and where they are mainly shielded from sun and storm. 4, Broadway and all the great avenues are relieved from the dread of invasion by mil- \ds—this road avoiding all streets, save in crossing those which run from east to west; and (his crossing 1s mainly done either under- ground or overhead 4. Tustead of using the public streets, this road buys its way through housc paying outright the valuation of all the prop- erty taken. 5. Its basement story is carried above the water-pipes, gas-pipes, and sewers, which it dis- turbs but at a single point (Canal-street), where they will have to be slightly depressed or the grade of the street ruised to give it underground room. 6. All our present railroads—THudson River, Harlem and New-Haven—may yun their traing it if they choose, and thus attain a speed which is dangeron® while they rmm on the grade of the avenunes. And the objection to such run- ning steadily grows as our up-town population increases, - 7. Out-of-town people entering onr City by railroad will be get down at or near their sey- eral hotels or homes, instead of being all turned out at one spot on Twenty-sixth-st. or Thir- tioth-st. &, Thonzh this treble road will probably cost £10,000,000, g0 vast will be its business that it i pected to earry passengers any distance within the City for six cents, —Possibly objections may be made to the plan which do not strike us, or a better one may be snggested. Let the Legislature do the very best for us it can, but at all events do something, Our present facilities for getting into and out of tow: ontzrown, so that the need of Letter is very urgent.
