If this be true, they fall with the adjourn- ment, and Judge Baryanp is not im- peached. Consequently there will be no trial before the Senate aud the Court of Appeals, as has been expected. For this failure the Judiciary Committee and the Speaker must be held responsible. The Assembly had ordered that a vote thould be talten upon the articles, but the Speaker failed to tuke Care that this order was executed. In his default it was es- pecially the duty of the Judiciary Com- mittee to attend to this matter, since they had prepared and introduced the articles, Their negligence cannot easily be excused, In every respect this Republican and Reform Legislature seems to have been one of the most discreditable with which New York has ey We are Facts for the Democracy. The Democracy of the country doubtless do right to calmly and cafefully consider whether, under all the circumstances of the sase, it will be the duty of their National “onvention to concur in the nominations made at Cincinnati, In making up their ninds on this important subject, it will be profitable for them to remember what they nave heretoforedone in emergencies almost precisely like the one which now demauds their attention, We will not go back to the days of Jack- oN, Bucttanan, Louts McLane, Rooer B. Taney, and others of like ¢ some of whom had long been moderate and some thoroughly pronounced Federalists, but all of whom were afterward supported by the Democratic party. These men received great trusts at the hands of that party, because when these events oo- curred they were found in accord with the Democracy on the cardinal issues then be- fore the country for seitlement. As all this, however, took place a good while ago, we will come down to events fresh in the recollection of the politicians of to-day. James R, Doowtrr.e of Wisconsin and dames Dixon of Connecticut were prom- inent among those who helped to lay the cornerstone of the Republican party, and they were sent to the Senate as Republicans, and as Republicans they long occupied a conspicuous position in that body. But in 1866 and 1867, the Demo- erats ran Mr. Dixon as their regular candidate for Congress, and in 1869 made Mr. Doo.itrLe theiv candidate for retlec- toon to the Sena wud last fall ran him as their nominee for Governor of Wisconsin. The ground on which the Democracy made these gentlemen their candidates was that, though they had been Republi- cans, they were at the time in substantial ne with that party on two or three of the main questions then agitating the na- ton, They did not, nor were they asked 1, go buck upon their Republican record, y simply went forward with the yerncy from a common starting point. he State of New York furnishes waany instructive examples of the same kind, In AS the Barnburners, who embraced in their organization a large share of the most cminent Democrats not only of the State butof the Union, cordially support- ed CHAtLes FRANcIs ADAMS, an anti-slav- ery Whig, for Vice-President, and Sera M. Aves, an ultra Abolitionist, for Lieuten- ant-Governor, In that famous contest, when the Winsor Proviso was at stake, such Democrats as Martin Van Buren, CuuRcwILL C, CAMBRELING, SAMUEL Youne, and Dean Ricumonp did not stand higgling over the political antece- dents of their allies, nor even of their can- ites.

These men are rival eandidates for the post of United States Senator from Nevada, now oceupicd by the Hon, James W. Nye. In 1809 @ five broke out in the Yellow Jacket Mine in Gold Hill, which, extend. Ing into the adjoining mines, the Crown Point and Kentuck, burned fiercely for severul days. and caused the death of thirty-eight miners who were at work at the time, and who were unable to escape. Some suspicions that the origin of the fire was not accidental appear to have existed at the time, but they soon died out. The matter has just been brought to notice again by the public assertion on the part of Mr. Jones that SHaron had been engaged in suborning witnesses to swear that this fire, which resulted so disastrous- ly, had been set, at the instigation of Jones, by one G. F. Ket1oao, then employed in the Yellow Jacket. The inference is that by means of such testimony it wasintended to prevent the election of the latterto the United States Senate by the Nevada Legis- lature, which meets in January next. On the other hand, Mr, Sianon declares that he had fever had any suspicion that the fire in the Yellow Jacket was not acci- dental until a man named Hunpens called on him voluntarily and made a statement that he was concerned with Ke.ioae in the commission of the alleged crime, whi was perpetrated, according to Krn.oco’s story, to serve certain purposes of Joxrs. SHARON says that from his knowledge of the circumstances it at once flashed ucross his mind that the story must be true, and he therefore placed the matter in the hands of the detectives. But Huppext,the alleged author of the whole story, says that the statement he made was false, and given at the urgent solicitation of Sitanon and his private secretary, after several refusals to make auy such statement, and only for the purpose of seeing how far the conspira- tors would go, and with the secret deter- mination in his mind that he would not only refuse to sign the affidavit, but would iu due time inform Jones of the plot against him, which he procesied to do, O'DonnELL, however, Mr. SuAnon’s private secretary, says that Hunpe.e signed the statement. ‘ Of course the matter will have to go to the courts, and in the mean time ‘it seems probable that the chances of both the aspirants for Senatorial honors will be ruined by the scandal attaching to the ex- traordinary accusations put forth by each of the candidates. — A Serious Donger. Fires are now buriing in (ie woods in many sections of the country, On the line of the Erie Railway, from the Shawangunk Mountains in Orange county to the borders of Lake Erie, the sun is veiled with a yel- low, smoky haze by day, and streaks of fire are seen creeping up the woody hillsides by night. The land is dry and parched. Wherever fire strikes in the brush, it leaves a black track behind it, Some of these fires are caused by sparks from locom lives. Most of them, howey have re- sulted from thoughtless farmers setting fire to dry brush heaps on windy days. The damage that will result from these buruings may be iinagined from the fact that in the wild, mountainous districts, which are now in danger of being denuded of their foliage, spring the brooks and creeks and rivers that water our fertile viet Attorney Brirroy, who has just returned from a fishing expedition among the mountain streams of New York and Pennsylvania, in the vicinity of Chemung county, gives a discouraging account of the situation. He says that there has been no rain there for the past six months. Most of the brooks have dried up, the crecks have become brooks, and the rivers creeks. Many rafts of timber and lumber are stranded on the dry beds of the water courses, with no. chance of getting them down this season, ‘he small trout nestle in the deep pools, the streams being so low that the large fish have not been able to ascend them from the ponds and lakes, Is there no possibility of saving our wild woodlands from destruction? ——-—--- The New Charter. The new'charter was finally passed by the Senate on the lth inst., and if the Le- gislature had remained in session it would have become a law, without the Govern. or’s approval, on Monday next, unless he had vetoed it. But the adjournment changes the situation; and now the thing will fall lifeless unless it is signed by the Governor, It is not necessary that he should veto it in order to kill it; for it dies of itself unless he gives it life, Of course Gov. Horrman will let thix charter die, Indeed it cannot be put in operation. The Legislature has blundered so deplorably about it that it isnot possible to put it in force by a legal election. It is to take effect on the first of June, and the election for the new city officers under it is to be held on the 3tst of Ma The only canvassers who can count the votes are legisluted out of office by the uew election law, according to which their te of office expires at midnight on May 31, while their successors are not yet provided for, Now it is physically impossible for these canvassers to get through with. their work, and ascertain and declare the result of the election before they go out of office; and thus the clection cannot be completed, and the uw charter cannot take effect even it were signed by the Governor, There is another fatal objectic to this charter, It virtually disfranchises every citizen who has moved from one election district to another since last fall, and this £ ent reason why it rhould not be allowed to take effect, What a Logislature is that from which we are now delivered! - — The President On Monday lust the Pre fs suc nglish. ident sent ames- to the Senafe, which concludes with following senten he most finportant precedent Is that of the ty in 1Si6. tipon the present t Britain loads me to om Houndary tr nee of the results tate of the treaty wi vw these forn ing to the pr It may have been too much that the meme of the Cabinet to expect to whom (ile message must of course have been subs Initted—would venture to criticise the wh halt 1d 38 COMpO: tion of the man who illustrated in this inc ¢ the Immense superiority of that West oint education which we hear praised so often at the expense of the studies com- monly pursued in our colle Rut t all knew that a man who writes about “results iging on a state,” and about “former precedents,” is an ignoramus, who: has no longer any oceasion to wish, with Dogberry, Oh, t I had been writ down an nss,"?

Let all Democratic statesmen join in sw porting Horace Greeiey, President fora single term, in 1872, and they will have a frec fleld in 1876, On the other hand, if they elect Grawr in 1872, how will they ‘help his being elected again in 1876 and 1880—in fact, as long as he lives? llc Glory! Glory! The first State carried by the Liberal Re- publicans and Democrats combined is Con- necticut. This is one of the closest Stat iu the Union; and the victory was com- pleted yesterday in the return of Orns 8. Ferry to the Senate of the United States. Let the Democrats and Liberal Republi- cans combine throughout the country, and they will elect Horacr Greevey and re- form the Government just as easily as they have now gained this noble victory in Connecticut. : aii ™ The Secretary of War has sent to the Sonate reports from the Commandants of the Springfleld Armory and the Rock Island Arsenal relative to the operations of the Eight-Hour law. The Commandant of the Rock Island Ar- senal says he bell 1 it was expected that un der the Eight-Hour law the employees would work more willingly, moro intelligently, and with mote strength and despatch than under the ten-hour system, and therefore that more ork would be done por hour to compensate, or partially compensate, for the loss of two hours’ work. He says that this expectation has not beon realized at that arsenal, With regard to the presumption that if the men-worked only elght hours per day thelr ad- ditional leisure time would be devoted to read- ing and other methods of moral and intellectual improvement, the Commandant reports that this has been partially realized in the case of carpen- ters and mechanics, but has not been realized to any considerable extent in the case of masons and stonecutters, Laborers without homes of their own have devoted their leisure tine to habits and asaoctations not calculated to muke them better citizens. The Commandant of the Springfeld Armory says a careful calctilation shows that an average saving of about five hundred dollars per year for gas for lighting purposes has been effected by the reduction of the number of working hours from ten to eight. The tolal saving of coal and cas is $2,000 per year of three hundred working days, about equal to the wages of three workmen, On account of the variable nature of the work at the armory—some sixteen different models of guns having been worked on since the close of the war—the Commandant has fouud it Lmpos- sible to give any accurate and reliable data ro- garding the comparative cost of work under the two systems, eee, Mr. Cox of New York has done a service tothe merchants of our city by introducing a resolution Into the House calling upon the State Department for coptes of all complaints and ac- cusations on file against the management: of the American Consulate at Liverpool.

New Havey, May 15.—The battle has been fought and the Liberal party Yas tri- umphed, To-day the Connecticut Legislature in Joint convention redlected the Hon. Orris 8. Ferry to the United States Senate for aterm of six years from March 4, 1873. The announce- ment of the vote of the House of Representa- tives yesterday carried dismay to the hearts of Hawley and his Administration friends, but with afirm determination not to give up, they occupied yesterday afternoon In canvassing the roll of members to see if there were not some men who could be tampered with. Despatohes were sent for three absent men, and every ex- ertion used to influence some, of the Ferry Ite- publicans to change their votes, but all to no purpose. At the opening of the House to-day it was evident to almost every one that the Hawley men felt that they were beaten, while the friends of reform and liberal government were smiling, and confident that Mr. Ferry would be the next Senater, Just before the hour for the joint con- Yention (12 noon) a short recess was taken, and 4 throng of spectators flocked in and filed every Available sitting and standing place. At BL o'clock the Clerk of the Senate called the Conventtob to uadery and Senator 8. Storrs Cotton was appointed to preside, Without any preliminartes, the President ordered the Clerk to call the roll, and each momber to rise in his seat and announce the name of the man he desired to vote for. ‘The roll of Senators was called first, but there was no change from the vote of yesterday, which stood 1 for Hawley and 7 for Ferry. The roll of the Mouse was then called, and in twenty minutes it was completed. Two mem- bers changed thelr votes. One went from Hawley to Ferry and the other from Ferry to Hawley—each amid cheers from the winning bside, The stood as folle Whole number 8 Necessary to ach hi The Mon: Ores S. Perr I ‘The Hon.

One prominent politictan, after ing congratulations with a knot of country members, said, “ Now, the next thing is for Greeley,” to which there was a very hearty Fesponse of “That's go." Tho Democrats, of course, feel pleased. A year ago, the day before the State election, Gen. Hawley’s paper, the Hartford Courant, accust Gov, English of sending a despatch to W: thus exchan M. ‘Tweed at Albany for moncy to carry the election. The Cournnt made a great card of it, andafterthe election Gov. English explained to Gen. Hawh that the despatch directed to Mr. Tweed was for that gentleman to find Mr. O'Gorman and send him to New fiaven, as ho was advertised to *peak in this city at that time. Notwithstand- ing thls explanation, Gen. Hawley has never bad the maniiness to make the correction; hence the friends of Mr. English fect jubilant. Tt ls reported that the President, after the discovery that Gon, Hawley was likely w be de+ feated, intimated that he would decapitate Col- lector Northrop, District Attorney Childs and Postmaster Sperry for aiding Ferry, This wi nt-nded te Induce them to throw thelr in- fluences to-day for Hawley.
