Mo is & membor of (ho Com- mittess on the Judiciary, on Pensions, and on THE SNOW STORM. Science has not yet mastered the winds, and knows but little of the laws which govern that invisible substance which, to the hight of fifty miles or so, envelops the revolving planet. Immenso forces, imperfectly explained on the hypothesis of an ever-shifting vacuum, dwell in the atmosphere, and we are continually surprised by their action. The Prince of the Powers of the Air keeps his secrets well. Had we but kuown them, and conld have predicted the snow storm of yester- day, great things might have been d.onc; the market price of shovels would have risen, and sleighs would have been preéngaged at a pre- mium, This great storm began in New-York abont 1a m. of Thursday. With vast white wings it sped from the north-east, embracing a line of coast from Maine to Philadelphia. It descended in the nmight, and by day-break thousands of miles were cov- ered with deep snow, and the millions on milions of flakes were falling. In Boston such a storm has not been known for ten years; the shipping in the harbor was buried, and off Cape Cod storm-beaten vessels struggled in the white gloom to find a harbor. Portland, Providence, Albany, were covered, and in New-Haven the snow fell to the depth of six ‘fect, with drifts of twenty feet. Here {he sfrcots were choked wup, the running of the cars almost suspended, the ice in the rivers and bay shrouded in a white clond; pedestrians trampled out paths in snow kuee deep; travel, pleasure, business wero inter- rupted; we were snow-bound. New-York on Thursday morning looked as pure as a Sunday after the Excise law had been enfor by night it was as dingy as a Sunday after Cardozo had issued an injunction. Thus the feet of man tramples into foulness ihe pure gifts of Heaven and the blessings of a Republican Legislature, The business-loving city finds the snow to be a nuisance. The boys who have gained an inexhaustible store of snow-balls, the young folks who dance along in merry sleighs, and the industrions men who, starting up from no one knows where, shovel away the unbidden visitor into the gutters—these are delighted with the storm. Here it fertilizes no land; it scems to do little good. Despondent people predict {hat the weather will froeze, and then it will thaw, and then it will freeze, and then thaw again, til the strects are a conglomera- tion of mud and ice. We know how Lard it is to ges rid of the snow in great cities; the stony streets refuse to absorb it, and if we shovel it from one place, it is only to shovel it to another. This storm, which now appears to have ended, will-possibly torment us for weeks. Yet who can be angry with the snow 1 The beautiful snow ! It is fair when it dances in conntless flakes, and fair when its dazzding whiteness makes the familiar land- scape strange, It falls, and in an hour the face of the world is changed. This storm came to us from England, whee in London on the 2d instant it fell to such a depth that Macaulay's celebrated trav- eler might have engaged in his favorite study, It has reached Cincinnati, and we bid it good speed to the West, to cover the prairies and make the Black Mountains white. Weo can only hope that the wind which swept with it the Atlantic been merciful, ACTOSS has and that we shall not hear of ships driving on | rocks, and fonndering at sea, and men drown- ing in the same mighty storm that Las | for our Lelles and | x a glittering pathy for their jingling sleizhs, AMERICA AND THE CEETAN REVOLUTION. Of the popular fallacies there 8 none more pernicions and absard than that which assumes that the people of Europe are permanently nnfit for demoeratic forms of government,and that the republican experiment, which has sneceeded in America, must nec o P'rance. There is a vague idea that Ameri cans far transeend other peoples in the capacity | of self-government, and‘that Europe must pass through gome undefined experienee bef she e safely dispense with the guardianship of kings. We remember that the same theory was use to jnstify the enslavément of the negrocs; tl were never fit for freedom in the estimation ¢ their masters, and never would have been, fou there is no worse appreuticeship to liberty than servitude. 8o, the people of Eu will never be made fit for republies, by the govermments of monarchs, and the disqualifieation would, upon this theory, be perpetual. The knot is never to be untied; it must be cut. We huve | cut it for the negroes; Crete would sever it for herself. Yet, the American people answer with en thusiasm to the call of the oppressed iu the Old World, The hellion of Greeee in 1828, the French revolution of 1848, the Hungavian upriding, the struggle of Italy for unity, and that brilkant serics of democratic movements, led by Kossuth, Garibaldi, and Mazzini, ap pealed to sympathies which are never dead, and which, as we shall show, have influences of immeasurable value. The United States gave little aid to these movements, Lut the American people much. Greece won her freedom from Turkish rule, not merely by her inherent strength, but by the help of the prayers and cheers of all civilized nations. Crete might now despair were it not that Liberty everywhere is on her side. She is a part of Greece, and should have been ineluded in the general emancipation of Greece from Turkish rule—would have been had it not been for the treachery of the allicd Powers, which adjusted the terms of peage. Creto did not yield to a Mpact in wideh shio had no part. She rebelled again in 1839; again in 1842, again in 1858, Never for five hundred years one gencration without an armed protest against despotism. In 1866 the invincible do- termination of her brave people was shown in the present revolution, continued in defiance of the utmost barbarity on the part of Turkey, and against odds which, till recently, seemed fo be overwhelming. Now it appears as if the hated yoke would be forever thrown off; the Greeks hasten to the aid of their brothers ; their enthusinsm, our cor- respondents say, recalls that of the North when the Southern rebellion began. Even Russia throws (he weight of her sword, sheathed it is true, into the balance on the side of Greece. The Cretans, thus inspired, havo fought not as men who risk défeat, but us vie- tors. Six hundred Cretans—immortal as the 000 who rode into the jaws of death at Bala- klava—aftacked by 10,000 Turks, fired the magazine of their fortress, and died with 5,000 of their enemies for companions. Such events decido the fate of nations, as John Brown dying upon the scaffold hastened by ten years the emancipation of the slaves, Crete will this year throw off the Turkish rule, need- ing only the aid, not of governments, but of peoples who, themselves free, feel the cause of all oppressed nations to be their own, Amovica mugt do something fog Crete, Diplo- arily be a failure in Italy | matic necessities may tie the hands of Govern- ment, but the sympathies of the people cannot thus be fettered. There is no international law or comity which forbids us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. In apswer to an appeal of the women and children of Creto to save them from starvation, the citizens of Boston ro- cently held a public meeting, at which the ckar- acter of the Cretan war was explained, and the claims of the Greeks earnestly advocated. Reso- lutions of sympathy were adopted, and measures taken to extend relicf. Itis proposed that such o meeting shall be held in New-York. Thousands of men who Lave recently read with admiration the story of Cretan valor, and with borror the story of Turkish cruelty, will gladly respond to the call. Let us remember that Civilization, Chris- tianity, and Freedom, are mnot for America alone, but for the whole world, and that we cannot be silent when Liberty calls fo us in Crete, without stooping to the service of op- pression in our own land. But bo{nrn all things Charity—open purses for the wiwes and children of the brave patriots of the Med- iterranean Isle. THE DECLINE OF IMPERIALISM IN MEXICO The later advices which we publish this morn- ing from Mexico fully confirm the rapid decline of the Imperial regimé. The adherents of the Emperor try hard to keep up an appearance of cheerfulness. They say that Miramon, Marquez, and Mejia are reorganizing the army, with a good prospect of suecess. The abandonment of Guada- Iajara they represent as astrategic move, and pre- dict that Gen. Gutierrez, reénforced by Miramon, will soon reoccupy the place. They claim vie- tories in the Etate of Oajaca over Porfirio Diaz, and elsewhere, They magnify. the divi- sious which aro reported to exist among the chiefs of the Republican party, and maintain that the imposition of forced loans has of late been carried through with such severity as to cause thousands of families to emigrate from the Qistricts now under the control of the Re- publicans. Our Havana letter contains enough facts o reduce the Tmperinlist statements to their true value. It is a fact of the highest importance that according to the latest dispatches reeeived in the City of Mex- ico, the whole territory of the Republic, with the exception of the Cities of Mexico, Puebla, and Vera Criz, and their immediate viein- ity, was in the hands of the Libera that the Republicans held, in particular, undisputed sway over all the distriets into which the State of Mexico is divided, with the exception of two. The succd@s of an Iaperialist commander in the State of Oajaca appears to have been of but little account, for we find that Porfirio Dinz was continuing to act on the offensive. The emigration from the districts under Republican rule consists most probably of the pronrinent adherents of the Empire, who have good reason to fear that the victorious Repub- licans will take revenge for the cruelties to which the Imperialist Government has aM along subjected the friends of the Republic Nothing remains in the intelligence contained in the latest letters and papers from Mexico which affords the least indication of an im- provement in the prospects of the Empire. On the contrary, whoever will calmly serutinize | the reports from both the belligerent parties cannot fail to that the end of the FEmpire is drawing near with as great rapidity as could reasonably be expected. T is, unfortunately, n great deal of division among the Liberal leaders; there is a great deal of de lization in the army and of ex- | tortion of money by means of forced loans; it all this will not prolong by one day the | existence of the Empire; it will, at most, de- | lay the reconstruction of the republic npon a solid basis, 806 “ A POETICAL PLACEMAN, Mr. Johnson is like the proprietor of War- Blacking—“he keeps n poet.” The lau- i of the White House is that ancicnt eon- sumer of public pap, Mr. B. B. Prgneh, who not only is. good enough to superintend the public buildings, but also to build the lofty rhyme, and melodionsly seenre for the Presie dent a decasyllabic jmmortality. 1f Achilles | had his Homer, and Eneas his Maro, and the Devil his Milton, there to be no v why Andy Johnson should not have his 1.

In the ather of last June, Mr. French's apprecias ren's eems BECS 80 excessive that he burst into song und was de ol sbout fifty conplets, all of them that kind which neither gods nor men of are popularly supposed to velish, This produc- tion Mr. French las very properly printed; it would have been quite a waste of u good thing it he had kept it in his diawer, and both the rhymer and his master might have been dead before the expiration of the Horatian period ; in which case we do not sec how the verses could picman and the paper-maker. The knob of Mr, French's heroie lines is & parallel between An- drew Jackson and Andrew Johnson, of which we must say that the latter hus 1y far the neatest and most elaborate culogiums. This is right cnough. Andrew Jackson is dead, and can give no pudding for praises; Andrew Johnson is the live lion: “ Where Jackson stood now doth another atand Tho favor'd rler of ont fuvor'd iand.” We shall make no attempt at uu elaborate commentary, but we should like to inquire whether Mr, Johnson is considered a8 “ favored” because he is able to “stand?” whether the standing is to be regarded as a miracle due to the special interposition of Divine Providence? or whether the natural thing would be for the President to fall down? Mr. French seems, in- deed, to think the perpendicularity of the Pres- ident 80 wonderful (hat he immediately recirs to it: He stands unmoved upon the nobls deek.” Who firmest stood ainong the loyal few.” Once more: “Our second Andrew, who all hearts had wor Btood af the helw,” —Thus it will be fecit that, in the opinion of this fine old minstrel, the President has a re- markable talent for standing, Circumstances which have occurred since lust June would scem to indicato that his genius for running is not equally great; and if, after standing all this time, he wishes to talie a back seat, wo are quite sure that nobody will make the least ob- Jection, Poets are sometimes propliets, hut not always, Tor instauce, last June, Mr. French mounted his tripod, and predicted things with an enthusi- axm bordering upon recklessness, B, g.: “The end appronchos—thut sublima e The people rallying to their President. —As the “ rallying” has been vather than else the other way, the Bard of the White House, we are afraid, is now in bad repute ns a seer; although we observe no mention made of his having been ignominiously kicked out as an impostor. 1t is well for him, perhaps, that his position saves him from those particular manifestations 1ot popular feeling which have Leen so liberally ), especially when the | tion of Mr. Johnson's nobility of nature became have been of any value to anvbody except the | NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY I8, 1867, ! doubt that wo have one more patron to-day | than we shonld have had if the Atlantie Tole- | many dispatehes, the Company could have richly alforded to serve the Press for one-quarter of | its aciual eharg | 1 all the Buttered Bread people eri bestowed upon his owner, For it must bo known that this musical Mr. French, who plays the part of head-waiter so brilliantly upon pub- lic nights at the Executive Mansion, denounces all who don't love Mr. Andy as he docs, and bestows upon them the numes “a determined “ clique,” and “tyrant vampires,” and “supple “100ls.” The “clique” turns oat to be of no such very insignificant proportions; the “ vampires” areuncommonly fresh, lively, and numevous; and the “supple tools” are mostly engaged in writing crooked poems in honor of a erooked policy. “The people rallying to their President” proves to be only an eldesly gentleman counting fect upon his fingers, getting down upon his weak knees to Andrew No. 2, and offering up hymns of glory and admiration and gratitade to another elderly gentleman who is willing to pay for that kind of service. “O dear me!” gays the ancient rhymer, “ what should we have done “if God had'nt given usdear Mr. Johnson? Such “q beantiful man!?

The twuth is that Mr. B. B. French is an old hand in matters of this tender nature; he was devotedly attached to Mr. Pierce; he made bad verses in honor of Mr. Buchanan; he lauded My, Lincoln to the skies; and when Mr. Johnson goes out and the next man comes fn, you will find Mr. French ready to sing his praises and glory in his accession. ITis lyre is always at the service of the incumbent, who will continne to have every virtue under heaven upon the sole condition of keeping B. B. F. in his superintendency and employing him to answer the White Housedoor-bell on] great days. Itwould, we th he an agreeable addition to the offi- cinl festivitios, if Mr. F. could be induced cither to sing or to say one of his poems before the company. An apostrophe to “the second “Andre delivered directly at him, could not fail of liaving o thrilling effect; and when Mr. F. cried out, with tears in his eyes, “The people’s heart shall kecp your memery green,” and Mr. Johnson made a bow, and Mr. Doo- little glaneed tenderly at the great man, and 1 “Amen!” and the brass band came whanging in forti simo, the effeet would be so trememdous that very likely we should be obliged to ask the minstrel to show us out; wh { he reads this article, wo are sure that he will be per- feetly willing to do, — o The London Times states that the net earn- ings of the Anglo-American Telegraph Compar have thus far exceeded the rate of twenty-five per cent. per annum, and that a dividend of. ten per cent. “on account” will soon be paid out of the proceeds of the first six months’ business. We trust (he payment of that dividend will be accompanied or preceded by a further re- duetion of the rates charged by that Company. Though reduced, they are still exorbitantly hLigh. - We, for instance, have paid that Com pang for bringing messages wearly or quite all | our profits since the the line was opened; | yel we have not received any pecuniary value That i3 to say: though we must in proved a failnve.

Yor these veasons, the House Tariff bill (718) is urgently recommended by them. Gov.
