-811101W:18k Railway preference shares, 5 per cent.
guaranteed by the Russian Government, will be
brought out for subscription in that city by Sulz-
bach Brothers, on the Bth to the 12th inst. The
hue, it is said, will be self-supporting, and is con-
aidered one of the best iu Russia. The shares were
taken in December last by Sulzbach Brothers, and
a combination of Frankfort bankers, by whom a
Portion has since been sold at a profit in Russia.
There may, it is added, be some further issues in
the course of the year, to connnect the Moscow-
Smolensk line with IVarsaw, " and, with this ex-
ception, the Russian Government appear for the
Pres.lnt not inclined to grant further concessions."
General Schenck's Finance Bill, not being signed
133' President Johnson before retiring from office,
has failed to become a law, by reason of Congress
having adjourned before the expiration of the
ten days allowed for Executive cinsileration. It
appears that by Art. 1, Sec. 7, of the Constitution
of the United States, it is provided that "If any
Lill shall not be returned by the Presitnt within
ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have
been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in
like manner as if he had signed it, unless the
Congress, by their adjournment, prevent its return,
in which case it will not be a law." It will be
Matter for great regret if the recent decision of the
American Legislature, placing the redemption of
the debt upon a gold basis, should not Le put
upon record, with all the forms required, to ob-
viate the possibility of future cavil ; but, in any '
case, enough has already been done to bind the
American nation irrevocably, even had we not the
"Plicit declaration of its highest officer, the new
President.
