The New-York Herald now Leads the hunt for the impeachment of President Johnson. We choose not to prejudge the evidence which may be adduced in support of Mr. Ashley’s or Mr. Loau's proposition ; but we beg Congress to bear in mind that The Herald was at least equally zealous and persistent in driviug & Democratic Congress to pass that Nebraska bill which it now (truly) declares to havo been the initial, essential cause of that party's downfall. Day after day, it taunts the Democracy and “poor Pierce” with their fatal shipwreck on the Nebraska rock, though The Herald was itself the pilot wlfich d:;:fi _t:-\:mauhl;ler full headway thereon. 016 its malicious me v find i 3 vietin ockery find its next If a necessity shall be found to exist for im- peacbing and cjecting from office a President of the United States, wo are sure every con- siderate American will regard it as a deplorable necessity—ono to be avoided if possible, and 40 lovk & posaible, No paliek Wil Wanlouly | or lightly shako the twin fabr ok o} Bubfic 05 der aud Publie Credit, PRoSPECTS AT WASHING TON. - The leading friends in Congress of a Na- tioual Bankrupt Law are eutirely confident that {he bill (Mr. Jenckes's) which hag already pa,\iufl the House, will soon pass the S(vnnh-: As it will have cen considerably umvmh:d, it must return to the House for concuyrenco jn the Sen- ate’s amendments; but it will not fuil there. Unless vetoed by the l'ru:lnl&’ul-l—uud 10 Teasol, unless it be the force of habit, is suggested for such 8 veto—we shall be able to congratul the conntry on the ])flS?‘flHf of a good Bankrupt Law Defore the 1st of March. That law will emancipate at least One Hundred Thougnnd of our countrymen from & Lopeless thralldom, ena- bling them onco more to carn bread t\gr thelr families and contribute sensibly to the inerease of our National wealth, Hasten the uuky{gxgu:a The passage of a very faic Taitf ill—in substance, the House bill of last eession s amended by the Finance Commitleo of the Senate—scema almost assured by the evident indispositlon of Congress to contract and appreci- ate the Currency. Manifestly, we cannot persist in importing lnxgely in excess of our exports, and staving off tho evil day of payment by aend- ing abroad some 200,000,600 per annumn of bonds—mainly these of our Government—which wo sell for sixty up to eighty cents oy the dol- lar. Somehow or other, this must come to a halt; and, as tho solid (not stolid) North-West opposes and prevents a Resumption of Specie Payment, (for the present, it says; but its logle plainly condemns and deprecates Resumption at any time whatever,) It is morally impossible that the enactment of a higher Tariff should be suceess- fully resisted. True, some two or three score of Moembers who zealously opposé Resumption as zealously oppose Protection; but their re- pugnance to Resumption is powerfully helping us to Protee nd we thank them for the good they do without intending it. By one means or another—through wise legislation or through National insolvency—we must stop buy- ing moro than we ean faitly pay for; and this i3 every dny more widely e 1. We hope to chronicla the passage of a pretty good Taiff bill by the Senate before the 1st of February. Should the President veto the bills adwitting the new States of Nebraska and Colorado, the former will pretty certainly, the latter probably, bo passed over the veto. The idca of impeaching and removing Presi- dent Johnson has more strength in the House than we had supposed, and scems to be gaining supporters. However, it §s not likely to bo definitively acted on at the present session. ANl manner of Mexican jobs and projects are hanzing abont the Committee-rooms and look- ing in at the lobhies of the two Houses—one of them proposing a modest loan of #50,000,000 to Juarez (whereof so much as #20,000,000 might | d might not—get out of Washingfon); and » i3 an Ortega loan of like amount lyin unlikely that cither winched in the shape of a bill. If $30,000,000 were lent to Mexico by | our Government, her military banditti would | doubtless have a zood time while it lasted; but, | “except these bonds,” there would be no trace | of it in existence next year. —As to Reconstrnction—=but that Is too grave a matter to come in at the heel of other topies, and must have an cle by If. t the around loose ; but it is qv of them will ever or PROGRESS RECONSTRUCTION. The House of Representatives is fitl ing its sittings mainly to the consideration of the various bills submitted to it which look to devot- a restoration of the States lately in revolt to the position they held and the privileges the enjoyed until they saw fit to renounce and r pudiate them by uniting in the Slaveholders' I bellion, { No other topic so important, and 1 Jardly one so rgent, solicits the attention of | Congress, w thoughtful observers ean doubt that, had the last sessi the pas of the pending Constitutional Amendment, the results of our late elections would have been quite other and less satisfac- tory than th wo have had the pleasure of recording. And, since the plan of reconstrne- tion embodicd in (hat Amendment has been jeeted by all the late Rebel States but Ten- nessee, it most desitable that Congress shall review and reconsider the whole snlject, in the light of the latest developments, North and South, and take such action thercon as shall seem necessary and proper. E it should be decided that no new action is neee sary, this rev is required, if only to show that inaction is the dic of blind obsti- nacy, but of atientive, observant sagacity and patriotism. We believe that 1 appearances and many irritating dnd unprofit- able gayings, events are steadily tending toward an early restoration of the sceeded States, Iiere are some of our reasons: L Thaddeus Stevens generally, and we presume truly, regarded as inclined to deal more harshly with the Rebels than are tost of the Republicans in Congress. Yet, in lis modi- fied bill of Jan. 16th inst,, he proposes to recog- nize the existing State Governments of the uth “as valid for municipal purposes,” and to let them so stand until dnly supersede He proposes to concede the Right of Suffrage in the reorganization of those States first to all their citizens of whatever color who have given no voluntary aid to the Rebellion; see- ondly, to all those former Rebels who shall swear that they would have submitted to the Union on the 4th of Mareh, 1564, could the Lave safely done so, and that they gave there- after mo willing support to the Rebelllon. We believe balf the once Robel popu- lation of the South will pass through this door, should Congress see fjt to open jt. And then, as to the more inveterate Rebels, Mr, | Stevens proposes that they shall be rega as having renounced their alle Union, and enabled to reclaim or resume it pre- cisely like other aliens, so that they may all be restored to full citizenship at the expiration of five years, These are gentler terms than Mr. Stevens, or any man holding similar views, would have conscnted to offer even eight mouths ago. II. Mr. Boutwell, we understand, has been re- quested to take all the Reconstruction bills now before the House and distil therefrom one which shall embody all their good points and none others. Mr. B.s undoubted ability and rips legislative fexperiencd justify the hope that he will accomplish his task successfully. We ask him to consider well the expediency of giving to his bill as many gracious and win- ning aspects as be may. For example: If there are to be no new prosecutions henceforth for treason, or none but within certain narrow limits, let his bill so provide; and if there is to be no further confiscation of property for treason, (and even Mr. Stevens's bill virtnally precludes snch confiscation) let that, too, be set forth in Mr. Boutwell's bill, so that it shall not necdlessly seem to be a bill of ikt g Aelalidon Lol ik e dvaliy & Rivkisis n terminated without is , not 1 in spite of some superfi in | | | | | | { or Twkey.

A gimple proviston that no further confiscations ghall be initiated would enable thousands of the most capable and enterprising Southrons to borrow money wherewith to fence and till their lands, or to sell Lalf of them for the means with which to eultivate the other. And why not hus provide? If we do not propose to confiscato and almost every one says we do not—let us state this beyond cavil, so as to allow thousands now fettered and paralyzed to return to active uscfulness, and thus contribute to the Natiohal thrify gud prosperity.

We print to-day the proceedings of a meet- ing of citizens held at the Chamber of Com- meree on Saturday, at which Mayor Hoffman presided, to consider the method of helping the wives and children of the revolutionists of Crete. Dr. 8. G. Howe of Boston, who long resided in Greece, and to whom the sucecssful issne of therevolution in 1820 is considerably due, fully explained the nature of the Cretan insur- rection, and the reasons why it should be as- sisted by Americans, Resolutions were adopted appointing an Excentive Committee to collect funds, food, and clothing, and forward them to Crete, and measures {aken to bold a publie meeting at Cooper Institnte this or next week. New-York could not do less than this, and in all the gieat cities the American idea, repub- lican precedents, national sympathies, require that meetings should be held to make the move- ment in aid of the Greeks worthy of their canse and onr own. Our gift should be equal not only to their needs but to our resources, Christians appeal to Christians against Mohammedans ; in- tellect to futellect against Lrute force; demoe- mey to democtacy against tyranny, and Greece, the land where the earliest republies were formed, two thousand years ago and more, ap- peals to America, the latest republic and the | greatest. Crete, now overrun with Egyptian mercenaries, is unsubdued, thongh waging war against terrible odds. But the spirit of Leonic and the three hundred Spartans at Thermopy- Ia is revived in this struggle with barbarian Turkey, Whoever has been, stirved by the glories of Platea and Marathon must read with awakened sympathies the story of this rebellion, for this is the same battle that was then fonght, and the encmy is equaily the encmy of liberty, whether it be call i make Americans her friends; true, the splendor of Athens and the integrity of Sparta have de- clined, but the spirit of the people has not been subdued by centuries of slavery, and the G ks of 1867 are, in their love of freedom, still the Greeks of the days of Pericles. Say what we may of Cretan vices, the grand fact that they belled remains, and a people who fight v do for Liberty are by every tie the allies of patriots in all countries. The future of Greeeo appeals to us as elogquently as her past. Dr Howe declares that the aid Awmerica gave to Greece in 1528 did more than any one other thing to encourage her soldiers and obfain her vietory, To-day we print a telegram from Athens stating that the Cretans have won a victory Such facts indicate the complete redemption of Greeee from bar- baric rule, and we may hasten the result by promptly answering the call of the women and children who are now starving on Mount Ida. At the meeting at Cooper Institute we trust onr citizens will nobly prove that their love of liberty, their faith in democrae, not limited by national boundaries, but they fully know that freedom in the United States is the same erushed in the ene without fecling the blow in the other. over 5,000 Turks. that and cannot be THE FERRIES. That the erossing of the ferrics in decent | time is now possible we do not owe to any energy or management of the companies but to tho favor of wind and tide. The st abated yesterday, the tide swept off the ice, the boats resumed their regular trips, But it | mway freeze again to-morrow, and cruises in the | East River, three hours long, may again be the misfortune of adventurous erowds. Wo may have the astonishing spectacle of half a dozen unwieldy nondeseript boats wallowing in floating ice, or frozen up in accumulating bergs, loaded with thousands of passengers, who vainly sce the tantalizing shores almost within a stone’s throw. Wretched husbands may hold other long conversations with their wives on the wharves; merchants may shont wild divections to their elevks on the shore, while past these motionless hulks the little tug- Yoats contemptuously puff. All the inconveni- | ences of last week may be repeated in this for all the ferry companics will do or eare, The continued delay of travel was cansed simply by the continued inactivity of the ferry compantes. They did absolutely nothing. There were four days of ice, and, so far as we kuow, not even a tug-boat was Kired to break up the ice, and keep an open chan- nel. The fepry-boats are notoriously unfit for the purpose. Two or three powerful propellers would in all probability have suc- coeded in getting the ferryshoats through the ico with some regularity of trips; and it is certain that with their help the Somerset would not have been three hours in the voyage to PBrooklyn, nor would the Ioboken boats have been frozen wup fast within & few yards of the slip. A single fee-boat would have saved hours of discom- fort to thousands of people, but not one was used. The ice-boat is the simplest and readiest ARY 21, 1867, means of securing navigation in Winter, and these great monopolies have no more right to neglect it than a railroad company would have to be without a snow-plow, or an ocean steamer—or, for that matter, a Brooklyn ferry-boat—without lifo-boats, Two or three tug-boats could have been sheathed and braced at the ship-yards, and employed with advantage, If that expense is too great for the companies, they might have been used to tow the ferry-boata from slip to sllp. The use- fulness of such methods cannot be denled whon it is known that while the ferry-boats weré unable to wmove the tugs were passing in all directlons, To neglect to use the ordinary means of overcom- ing the natural diffioulties of the to insult the publio as well as to desplse u’zunt aueidig e boais, aud the wlbe demands. No precautions are taken collected at thé ferry honses last week were un- der no control, It was to a great extent because of the crowds which overwhclmed them that wany of the boats were unmanageable, and good natured passengers did the work of the em- ployés. The passengers were shamefully treated, and might justly say to the companies as Lear to Goneril, “You wonld not use your dogs “got The managers refuse even an explanation to the public, and scorn cven an attempt at apolo- gy. Silent contempt of complaints is their inva- riable policy, and boats are burned, a8 in the case of the Idaho, sunk, ns in that of the Necbraska, or frozen up, as in that of all the boats last week, withont even a card of regret from the managers. This is, indeed, a tacit confession that explanation would be self-criminating, and that excuse would be absurd, Nor is the least effort made to accommodate the public; last week no more information could be had of the prohable time at which the boats would start tl_n% gf the thne ey ers likely to be froith ip the ice. They were taken off the line without notice, and put on again with the same mystery. At the Wall-st. ferry the boats are notoriously irregular ; nominally they run till 11 p. m., but if it drizzles a little, or the pilot is slecpy, or the ferry-master las a toothache, the boats stop for their con- venience without consulting that of the public or giving any notice. The managemeént of our ferries combines the extremes of timid- ity and recklessness with a measure of stu- pidity often worse than either. In the want of a tunnel or a bridge the condition of the fer- ries frequently results in the divorce of New- York from the mneighboring cities, and our citizens are learning that ten or twenty miles by 1uil is practically a less distance than half a mile by boat. Real estate owners in Brook- Iyn may make a mnote of it. Of the many abuses of New-York whichwe ask the Legisla- ture to reform, this of the ferries is not the least. MEXICO. Tho restoration of the Mexican Republic is yow proceeding with remarkable rapidity Lately we have had the important news that Juar ez has made a triumphant entry into Durango, the Capital of the Btate of the same name, Durango is about equally distant from Chilinakua—which so long served as a place of refuge to Juarez while mnemly the whole of Mexican territory was in the hands of the invadors—and the City of Mexico. But Du- rango is far from being the Southern frontier of the tenmitory under the actual sway of the Republicans. Bouth of it, Zatatecas, San Lnis Potosi, and even Queretaro, which is ouly 110 miles distant from the City of Mexico, are in undisputed possession of the Liberals. The French have wisely concluded not to leave the country in detachments, but at one time. The which they continually suffer even under this new arrangement clearly show to what dangers they would have been exposed had they left one-thivdof the army behind forawhole year, As to Maximilian, a glance at the small tract of land that is now held by his partisans makes it very doubtful whether he will get away at all if he not leave with the Freneh. The movement of the Imperialist troops against Monterey, which our Matamoros letter srsto this morning, stands no chance whatever of permanent success, The French themselves clearly indicate by their attitude that they have no faith in the ability of Maximilian to main- tain himsclf, and, as the official communication from the representative of France to the Mexi- losses n people, which we publish this morning, in indicates, are anxious to decline any responsibility for the defeat and overthrow of the Emy The star of the Republic is again rising, and there would be good reason for re- newed hope if only the deplorable quarrel between Juarez and Ortega conld be stopped. This ought now to be the great aim of all Mexican patriots. Sterling patriotism, we should think, might suggest to both the claim- ants of the Republic means for settling their rival elaims in an amicable manner by leaving the decision to a new vote of the people. We wish with Ortega, whose proclamation to the Mesican people we publish to-day, that the Mesican Republie may become as prosper- ous as the United States; but if this aim is to be attained the leaders of the people must learn to show a greater amonnt of disinterested love of their country than hitherto, By an advertisement published in this morn- seNe our readers will see that the es between the New-York Central and wlson River and Harlem Railroads have ing's Tn diff the 1 been composed, and that passengers and freight are now transported over the thres routes under the samo arrangements as of old. This is no doubt the result of the vigorous action of the Legislature. We trust that the present settlement will not induce the Senate and As- sembly to relax their efforts to secure us pro- tection inst the arbitrary f rail- way corporations. The quarrel which ranged to-day may break out again to-morvow, and the public must not be exposed to suf from the avarvice or bad temper of com which onght pot to exist, except with re; to the public convenien Tha American Conflict, Ve i3 now being de- ivered to all subseribers in this City and Brooklyn, by John Thompson, agent, who has an office at No. 173 William-st.
