The position of congress is truly pitiable. In the vain attempt to curry favor with the people, congress has over-reached itself, and scarcely knews whether to advance or retreat. It is making desperate efforts to control every department of government, and does not hesitate to use all the means in its power to protect itself from the sure reward of its misdoings. The supreme court, at whose bar the legality or illegality of congressional enactments has heretofore been wont to be tried, is proposed to be bound hand and foot. Instead of the old-fashioned republican principle of the majority ruling, it is now proposed that six-eighths of the judges be required to be in favor of any proposition before they can arrive at a decision. In other words, the opinion of three men is, for all practical purposes, to balance that of five men. Congress fears that the infamously notorious acts, called "reconstruction," uiav be thrown back into its teeth and declared unconstitutional. Why not abolish the supreme court altogether? The X. Y. Evening Journal. (republican; speaking of this last and crowning enormity, says: t: Do the republican leaders in congress wish to justify the charge of the democrats, that they are bent upon usurpation and revolution? Have they become so indifferent to popular opinion that they are prepared to remove any obstacle which may be presented to their policy, regardless of eveiy constitutional provision? If a majority io the legislature can prohibit the court from passing upon any particular class of cases which have become subjects of popular excitement, then the judiciary, so far forth, is virtually abolished, and there is no appeal for the citizen from the operations of a law, however obnoxious it may be in its provisions to principles of the constitution, or however subversive of personal rights. That questions like those arising under the reconstruction bills were intended to be embraced among those for which the creation of the court was authorized, is too plain to admit of dispute." Some two or three weeks ago Mr. Bingham suggested the propriety of passing a law to prevent the legislature of Ohio from re-districting the state! Of course congress wwmm m w me repumican i pet lambs in power, and of course it will j not hesitate at any enormity to attain its j purposes. With equal propriety Mr. Bingham might suggest that congress. I i . . xi. 1.1- i - hereafter, attend to redisricting each , county in the United States, in such a manner that republicans only shall be ; elected to the office of county commissioner ; and it would be still better if township lines could be arranged in a more satisfactory manner, by the wise Solons who preside over onr national destinies. AX OTHER RAILROAD A CCIDEXT. From the Cincinnati Commercial we learn the particular? of an another railroad accident, on the Atlantic and Great Western railway. The midnight train, Jan. 27. was thrown from the track near t u pi ri.- fru Lewisburg, Champaign county, Ohio. The Sleepia car went down a slight embankment, turning over on its side. The pas sengers, fortunately, were rescued from the car, which noon after took fire from a kerosone lamp used for lighting it, and wa devoured by the flames. In speaking of the efforts of one of the passengers to escape, the Commercial says: Mt. Chatfield was overwhelmed in the heaps of mattresses and other bedding in the car, and only extricated himself after strenuous exertions. Then the car was utterly dark. There was a smell of fire, and a considerable quantity of smoke. He made his way with extreme difficulty to the rear end of the car, and found the door locked. His utmost strength was inaufficient to open the door, and he hid to scramble through tho dense smoke and darkness, the entire length of thc car, when he was so fortunate as to find the conductor, who took his hand and helped him out." Can any railway official, or other person, inform us why the doors of passenger coachea are locked? In the case allued to above, it was the good fortune o

Mr. Chattield. aud uo fault of tho company's, that be was not subjected to a terrible death. To the traveler this system of door-locking is not only a source of annoyance, but of positive fear. Of late it

almost seems as though no railroad accident could happen without the attendant terror of Ore. If the railways do not do ! away with the danger of passengers being burned to death at every petty accident, they will either have to leave their doors unlocked and give passengers a chance for their lives, or, as the Commercial suggests, furnish each purchaser of a ticket with an ax, or some other suitable implent fur battering down doors. If railway companies can show any good reason for thus endangering Lutum life, well and good; if not. in the name of humanity, let them ubolish the practice. THE RADICAL EMPIRE. The New York Herald gets off the following capital hit ; and as Ulystes Sain. G. will probably soon be pronounced dictator over the country, it is safe to say that the M kingdom " will shortly be in operation : The Government and Household of : the Grand Radical Empire. We presume we shall not violate imperial confidence by foreshadowing the the charac t'rofthe government and household of toe new and magnificent empire proposed 1 1 be erected by the radicals upon the ruins of republican liberty in the United States. Here it is: His Imperial Highness Ulysses I., Monarch of all he surveys. Imperial Mouthpiece and Keeper of the Imperial Word and Conscience E. 13. Washburne. Minister of Confiscated Estates and General Factotum of the Imperial Mansion Thaddeus Stevens. Minister of Military Injustice Edwin M. Stanton. Minister of the Radical Rack and Political Joi.it Twister iu Geucral George S. Routwell. Usher of the Black Hod Fred. Douglas. Lord High Chamberlain and Picker-Up of all the Imperial Old Boots, Ohl Hats, and Old Clo's Generally John W. Forny. Imperial Soft Impeacher and Knight Commander of the Order of the Sulphurous Dath James If. Ashley. Imperial rY nd :ill and Chief of the Imperial Blowpipes J. W. Hunnicutt. Court Watcliman Henry Wilson. Court Hangman Ben. Wade. Keeper of the Imperial Bedchamber Charles Sumner. Lady in Waiting Anna Dickinson. On the first page of to-day's paper will be found twof ery interesting documents, which we earnestly commend to the attention of all. The first is the letter of Hon. A. P. Edgerton, democratic nominee for lieutenant covernor of this state, in rordv to an article from the Lafayette Journal. rr,, , , . r t x i Thc second is a letter from Hon. J. It. Doolittle, senator from Wis., to the meet insr held at (Conner's institute, on last rrt i 1.1 mu i, lhursday night. Ihese papers are well written, contain sound doctrines, and should receive a careful perusal. Indianapolis is making strenuous exertions to secure the holding of the national democratic convention at that place. Tf the Iudianapolitans can furnish suitable accommodations for the large number of people who will be in attendance, there is no place which would suit the democracy of the north-west so well as Indianapolis. CHI CA GO C OU RE SP OXDEXCE. Chicago, Feb. 3, 18GS. Editor Democrat One of the most pleasing, possibly I should rather pay, thc only pleasing feature connected with thc great Lake street fire on the evening of the 28th ult., has been thc remarkable powcr of recuperatioQ which our mcrcnants bavc exhibited. You have no doubt rcceivcd the extended reports of the Chicago papers and so know all about the fire itself, for instance that it raged until about midnight. Well, all thc firms who were burned out had cards in thc morning's papers announcing that they had "moved" to new localities and that they were ready to fill orders and transact business as before, the little incident of the fire not having any effect in deranging their business. Strolling down street by the ruins, the passer-by would even observe a sort of grim cheerfulness in the way in which such announcements were made. At one place where the ruins are still smoking.and bricks, a little bebw the surface are red hot yet, one firm announces that it has "moved on account ol thc intense heat." Another firm whose former store is now only a fantastic ice J 51l . ovlfc"' uw". Pul UP on a shingle stuck in a monster iciclo, "Moved building not adapted to our wants." Another laconically informs the public, M Frozen ouf, gone to No. ." and still another with charming indefinitencss nays "Used to have a store somewhere here, moved in consequence of an occurrence Tuesday evening last, to No. " This latter is stuck up ou a board over the remains of one big block, of which not two feet of wall have been left. Among the most prompt to recover from thc great shock, was tho old-established and favorably-known firm of Messrs. Merrill & Hopkins, formerly located at No. 20 Lake street, but who have now secured a magnificent new store al No. 33 South Water street. Their reputation a? dealers in crockery, earthenware, gla ware, table service, plated goods, etc. is rfide-spread, and throughout the northwest they have ii) their years of trade made very many warm friends who will be glad to learn that they have not been

seriously affected by this disaster, but are j

again able to cr'o on fillinir orders at a mo-, ment's notice, as of old, and always satisfying their patrons. Fortunately, their warehouses, located at some distance from tne store, were full of goods at the time of tne fire, and lare consignments have since been received from the manufacturer?. All the goods they now have were pur chased at the lowc?t rates which have prevailed lor many mouths past, and they are censqeucntly enabled to offer them very cheap. This fact, together with the additional advantage of their system of selling assortments packed by the manufacturers, should call the attention of north-wes'ern dealers to this house. Quite a sudden change has been made in the editorial arrangement of tho Trihum of this city, by the appointment of Sam. Mcdill,brother of 1 'Josf,"ta the city editorship, in the place of Elias Colbert, a horscopical humorist from England, who has held the position for about four years previously. Mr. Colbert, whatever the world may say, had some good qualities. Tie was very indur-trious, pains-taking. and had a considerable amount of versatility as a writer. lie had one characteristic vic' makin2 bad Puns- Whcn he ut" tered them he italicised them with a laugh; when he got then iuto the paper he underlined them. Now he goes into tho commercial department of the paper, where puns are inadmissable. What the effect will be on his constitution, is a question which admits ot even bettin. Sam Medill is an active, sharp, good-looking young fellow, lucky at drawing sewin machines at church fairs, and glorious at matinees. lie made a good local department for the R'pnb'ican, when he wa3 on that paper, and will, no doubt, do so for the Trlbuue. The best feature of the whole affair, and most advantageous to the paper, is that the change gives the commercial department to Colbert, and leaves Guy Magee free to run the finaucial department. Mr. Magee, although a young man, is one of the ablest financial and commercial men en the western press, and has for over a year past conducted thee departments of the TVt&tme, with a vigor soundness and foresight which have won for him the respect of all who had occasion to note the columns under his charge. The change alluded to will merely relieve him from a portion of the drudgery of his duties. The play of " Undine," which made such a sensation here, was, financial!', a failure in Pittsburgh, and the people who went on from here to appear in it complain loudly of the way iu which they were treated by the management. The poor I Chicago coryphees who 011'v fl!

A7. Y. CITY CORRESPONDENCE. New York, Feb. 3. The presidential cauldron has already commenced to seethe and bubble with thc out-croppings and impurities of what prom iso3 to be thc most violent exciting politi" cal canvass the country has ever experienced. The leading jockeys and "whip-pers-in" of the two great rival organizations which divide the sentiment and opinions of thc people, are now hard at work stirring up tho embers of party strife. We shall soon be sent whirling into another blaze of periodical frenzy. There is no lack of intrigue, plot and counter-plot among thc friends of thc different rival aspirants. Nearly every prominent man in the State is spoken of in connection with the posit-on. The choicedof thc democra cy here eeems to bo chiefly in favor of Pendleton, of Ohio. Seymour conies ncxt? though it is known he is not active in the canvass ; and Andy Johnson follows hut, backed up mainly by the IhraUl. The republicans, generally, favor Char,e; Sen. ator Morgan, and others, Fenton, who is not without a powerful array of influential adherents, who will back him up stron" against the field. We hear very little recently of Mr. A. T. Stewart, tho rich drygoods man of Broadway, and his candidate. General Grant, whom he has been urging forward as tho "coming man." Thc entire country, however, is being flooded with campaign documents by the friends of all the candidates. In all these movements finance and taxation appears to be lost sight of altogether. We heir nothing more about repudiation or canceling the government indebtedness with greenbacks. The republican policy seems to bo based entirely upon reconstruction, and will put forth their nominco iu May!

tie policy is no caudilent. Thev will thus 1 date till the last moment , . . w - I , . be in a position to take the chances ol ! r I uuiting all the opposing elements io their favor in the selection of a standard-bearer. The devclopemei.-. of their policy will not be made, howcvci, until some event shall occur to manifest, unmistakably, the direction of public sentiment. On the other hand the republicans go into the canvass j with their candidate irrevocablv desiirna-: ted a year in advance, which, heretofore has never failed to prove injurious, if not fatal, to every party in the country who has attempted it . The recently appointed British representative to this country, 5lr. Thornton, arrived in this city a few days siuce from London. After presenting his credentials to the president, he returns for a season to remain a few weeks with some American relatives of his living here. After which ho will take up his rcsidcuce at the I i i m rn i;.i ! capitol. Mr. Thorntons last diplomatic ! r. iuj a. L. f ' services were accredited to the emperor of t m t i ,L J I Brazil : but previous to the vacancy caused bv the demise of Sir Frederick Bruce, was on the eve of transfer to the court of Lisbon. The appointment of the new minister who, by the wuj, is a man of decided talent, has beeu commented upon very freely by many of the London papers in rather harsh terms, exhibiting a great deal of asperity and bitterness ot feeling. rr,, . . i i r r .1 i . a?i This is accounted for from the tact that Mr. Thornton is what is called over there a commoner, and for that reason probably more than any other, he is looked upon unfavorably by the aristocracy of Belgravia Square and the autocrat of the TVsJies. The u ajor portion of his life has been spent awa; from home in the queen's service : nence nis acquaintance ana in Lilt 'J uio iiv.il itui u tain i 1 1 ' 4 i . ; - fiuence in hnglana is circumscribed.

Lord Stanley, by accrediting a minister io rank to our government, seems to ignore entirely our claims to be considered i first class power, in a diplomatic sense. The courts of France, Russia, Au-triaand Prussia, all have envoys of the first r ink to represent her majesty. Mo-t of our statesmen from the back woods seem to bo entirely igno rant of such ipeiters of official diplomatic etiquette. Going into bankruptcy, ai managed under our law, is soincwluit expensive, tbe costs and fees for a voluntary petitioner amounting to some $180 to $225, and for a compulsory bankrupt to between 2300 and $500. The petitions lodged in the U. S. court for thi. district number fiSO up to this time ; ninotj- of these only have re ceived their final discharge. It requires a long purse, besides brains, overn. us ..now a days. The treasury to must continually be replenished or the ma chine won't run. The direct expenditures for governing this city at present amount to the snug sum of $22,000,000 per annum. Half a cenmry i:ice it required only about $13,000,000 to govern the whole United States, maintain a large civil establishment, and support a respectably sized army and navy. At present the loutJjt uaun.iug ui ivhi vaiucaj iiit'ii lunuerly existed on a sound specie basis, ar j now rendered merely nominal in consequence. Two or three more years of this sort of taxation will amount to confiscation of property iu reality, even if not in name. Not a dillicult problem in figures to solve, this. Thc latest novelty now is a " patent nose protector" for ladies' wear. It consists of a case lined with fur, to be affixed to the dear creatures' nasal Bppendaee. Not a j bad idea for people suffering from a vioj lent catarrh in the head to dispense With pocket handkerchiefs. American faces arc not classical. American nones are geacrally a failure ; in fact, are not Grecian, seldom aquiline, frequently rttroumc Our no.'cj are not model for statuary. In fact, we have no nationality as regards this most important feature of the face. What a blessing in disguise, then, is the patent nose protector. American ladiea in Europe, however, are creating a marked sensation this winter in all the tmlon both for their beauty, graceful and becoming toilets, and intellectual a complishtnonts. Everything new iu the millinery and dressmaking line is L'Amcricaine, noseprotectors in the bargain. The new bonnets are called l rds. They are round puffs or bouillons of ve'vet in front, and a kind of c ick s comb above the chignon behind, in the centre of which is a satin rosette with long ends; they are not unlike a pair of bellows. Whether it is equipage or dress thc nobler, sterner sex. seem just at present equally eager to press forward for their share of admiration. Beauty pentaloous and velvet coats, blooded horses and English drugs, arc thc ulti)nn tkmle of masculine fashionables this winter. Some destiny in the way of a first class tailor must shape them so skillfully. A gruod daughter of George III., of England, and cousin of Queen Victoria, is living iu a splcudid villa nt Long Branch. She is a permanent resident there and calls herself a Jersey Bine. A new and intense color in silk goods, known as thc inarygold c dor, has recently beeu brought out at Stewart's.

It is announced in England th it as extensive business is carried on there in hunting up portraits for Am- rii ans, in order to make galleries for M Oesters.

A radical editor in New York, after contemplating reconstruction bill number seven, becomes thorougl ly disgUite 1 with the action of his party, and indulges in these exquisite re flections : "Those republicans who have thought that fidelity to party required them to defend the congressional scheme ot recon strnction, as a whole, ana in an its pans, find it 'lnird sledding' about this time. s il They hardly know where they are, or what thev shall be called to swear by next. To make everything sure, and cover all possibilities, they might as well modify their Confession of political faith and put it in a comprehensive form something like this : We aro for the congressional plan of reconstruction as it was, and as it is, aud as it aball be. world without end.' And to make all things safe overnight. Pr. Watt's famous sleep invitee might be used in this modified form : 'Now I lay mo SOWS to slrp, j reconstruct ton hits n kci'P. lf 'ii tKraMctuuure WfOro i w.
