YONKERS, N. Y., held a Municipal elec
tion yesterday, which resulted in a complete
Republican triumph, showing a gain of five
hundred and fifteen over last year. Im
peachment is producing its fruits in in
creased Republican majorities everywhere.
ALL lIAIL 1 RHODE ISLAND. She has
spoken out in no unmistakable way for Im
peachment, and has endorsed a loyal Con
gress by an increased Republican major
ity. Gov. BURNSIDE received a majority
closely approximating five hundred, al ,
though the opposition. counted with much
certainty on the revolution in politics sweep
" Little Ilhody " out ofthe 'ranks of loyalty.
Ax anonymous correspondent has sent us I
a communication, addressed to the Commis
sioners of Allegheny county, relative to a
bridge or bridges over the Chartier's creek.
We do not publish that sort of document
without having the name of the author; and
as the subject matter of this document is in
the hands of the Com Missioners, we do not
see 'why the paper should be printed at all.
We have sent it to the Commissioners` for
their perusal. -
VEuit N.PerrinaLLY, the venerable politi
cian who has recently harangued his asso
ciates, the bar, Congress and the people,
from the bench of the Supreme Court, re
ceives "aa.about the only Democrat left" on
that bench, the commendations of his party
for his effective little speech. Certainly it
would be most ungrateful to refuse to a
stump-speech from such a place the eulogies
which' are regularly , lavished upon orators
at ward-meetings or country cross-roads.
Tam FREE R.triatoAD BILL, modified so
as to avoid the objections raised by the Gov
ernor in his veto message, has passed both I
branches of the Legislature, and will doubt
less &come a law. We very much prefer
the new bill to none at all;"but some features
of the vetoed bill impress us more favorably
than the corresponding provisions in this.
The telegraph, at first, gave an inadequate
representation of the ground on which the
Governor rested his veto. We concur that
the capital stock of a rglwar company
ought to-lie definitely fixed at the start, and
should not be increased at the pleasut e either
of the directors or stockholders. But we
do not see that to apply the stipulations to
old as well as to 'new companies was vio
••lating the constitutional mandate not to
cover_two or more distinct matters of legis
lation in one bill. However, the Governor
thinking so, his own judgment was neces
sarily-his own rule of action in the premises.
,THE YORK Republican, it seems to us,
fails to consider that in New Jersey and
Michigan, usage, which is common lan; re
quires the delegates to the Republican Na
tional Convention to be appointed by State
Convention, while in Pennsylvania the
common law of the party, nntil the recent
precedent, required their appointment by the
re§pective districts. What puzzles us is not
that a change in the common law prevailing
here is deemed desirable, but that gentlemen
who did the most to create that common
law should, after all their efforts in that
direction, turn round and tieny that the law
is what they helped to malt,: it, and stoutly

said that the Democracy no longer hope to

shrewdness, are turning secretly all their ef
forts to carry the close towns so as to obtain
a majority in the Legislature, and thus con

States Senate. This is a kind of strategy as
adroit as it is dangerous. They practiced it
successfully in Ohio last year, and hope to
win with it now in Connecticut, and thus
yielding to us comparatively barren honors,

victory. We hoped this game will be blocked
by counteracting efforts. It is the only
source from which any danger is now to be

DEAR GAZETTE :--Pittaburghera abound
here, some to look after consolidation mat
ters, all to see that the interests of your sec
tion are properly cared for. The Appropri

anxiety and apprehension for their favorite
items. I suspect the real reason for voting
dOwn the bill was a'desire on the part of the
Democrats
.to make political capital out of
the alleged extravagance of the Repnblicans
and the determination of the latter to pre-!
vent this design. ,
Some of the items do, to an Ignorant out-.

The New Expatriation Treaty.
An important error in translating the
Prussian treaty' was brought to light in ex
ecutive session of the Senate on Friday last
by a letter of Mr. Bancroft's to the State
Department: in which he gave an account of
the negotiations for the treaty. This letter
was written toward the last of February.
and immediately after signing of agreement
on the part of the King of Prusia. From
this letter it appears that the treaty is
broader in its terms and more favorable to
our citizens of foreign birth than was at first
supposed here after the treaty was read.
The correction of the error referred,to makes
the treaty apply to all former citizens of the
North German Confederation. who have
been already naturalized in - the United
States, as well as those who may hereafter
become so. According to Mr. Bancroft's
explanation, h. is also intended to cover the
five years during which a foreigner is wait
ing for citizenship after having filed his in
tention.
This letter of Mr. Bancroft's speaks in
warm terms of the friendly manner in which
all his advances were received by the Prus
sian authorities, and represents the personal
expressions of friendship towards the United
States from Count Bismarck as of the most
earnest and cordial character. The letter
then goes on to give a specific explanation
as to the evict grounds each article of the
new treaty was held to cover by the parties
negotiating the same.
In submitting this letter to the Senate in
executive session, Mr. Sumner, as Chairman
Of the Committee on Foreign Relations, says
the treaty, as understood by those who drew
it up. covered the American doctrine of citi
zenship as set forth in a letter written by,
General Cass in 1848, when SecretarY - of
State, Mr. Sumner further explained that
it had beTn the practice of Prussia for the
past twenty years regarding citizens who
had gone abrold when owing her military
service, had been known to try them on
their return and sentence them not to serve
out their term, but merely to draft them
anew. By the terms of the present treaty
such a draft could not take place, and con
sequently all trouble to former citizens of
Prussia resident in this country will' end
with the ratification of this treaty.

'following paragraph: • •
"Will, then, Mr. Johnson be convicted?
Do net doubt it. The thing has got beyond

Wade to hinder. There is a tide bearing us
forward to a certain issue, too powerthl fcir

ticism, though, Mr. Johnson may be ex
cused for thinking so:. It is _not the con
