JOHN RANDOLPH.

One or two Characteristic anecdotes Of
Randolph hitherto unpublished, as believe,
will close this article. They are perfectly
authentic.
During one Of the suspensions Of specie
payments, in his day, Mr.. R. was on a visit
70 New York, on business. He had occasion
to present check to alargc amount for pay
ment at the Merchants Bank of that city,
for which he refused to accept any thing but
specie, which the tellers Of the bank as OBJ
siinately refused TO give. Randolph dis
dained to handy words, with either clerks or
principals on their conduct, which in his own
way Of thinking, amounted to swindling, but
withdrew and had handbill issued at the
next printing Office, which in two hours was
posted up over the whole city, stating that

most incredible sum has been drawn from
the labor of the toling millions to enrich
pampered aristocracy, tina. is preying like an
incubus upon the vitals of this Republic.
But to illustrate the subject still more
fully, divide this $l45, ,405, ,56s, AZ, by it
makes $29,0Sl, 1885, which is the average
amount for each of the five years above
named. Only think, upwards of ft,centy nine

known in that city, the notice passed off fol

After leaving the Merchants Bank, he
called at the Merchanics' bank to transac
some money business there, involving dis

peculiar notions on such subjects, felt a

MIR. EDIroR.-There is perhaps no sub
ject connected with our civil and political
institutions, aud that enters so largely into
our business relations, and yet is so little
understood by the great mass of our citizens,
as the paper money system This want OF
knowledge on their part may be owing TO
the fact that the banking system, in its very
nature and by its constitution, is confined,
and always has been, to a chosen few, who
have studiously concealed the enormous
burdens itimposed it upon the people. Then
the public view. A masonic silence and
secrecy pervades every avenue OF the entire
system. All their doings, however deloter-
ious in their effects and influences upon She
happiness, prosperity, and morals Of the
people, are projected from the public scrutiny
by their chartered privileges. And yet there
is no subj that more deeply interests the
people. The calamitous revulsions that
follow in its train, have not only annihilated
its victims, and marred the happiness and
prosperity of the whole country, but have
convulsed our Republican institutions tt
their very centre.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAJ. RoAD.-We havo
heretofore recorded the application Of Mr.. A.
Whitney TO Congress, for an appropriation Of
public lands for the construction of Rail Road
from Lake Mich gan to tho Pacific ocean-and,
although at the first blush, tho proposition may
appear 20 DO supondous and startling, yet on con-
versing with Mr.. Whitney, satisfied, not
only that tho proposed work can be accomplished,
but that it can be effected in the mode no recon-
mends. There can be no doubt tina: the construc.
ton of tho road would sell the lands, and that tho
amount received for tho lands would more than
pay for the making Of tho road. Mr.. Whitnoy's
proposal appears to us to be perfectly fair, and
not designed individual speculation. Hc
asks that government shall set aside public lands
TO tho extent of thirty miles each side of tho
route of the road-appoint commissioners 10 dis
pose of thom, and apply the receipts as he pro-
crosses with the road, to the payment Of tho cost
of construction. On tho completion Of the road
either to the river Columbia to the bay Of San
Francisco, (shoud obtain California from
Mcxico,) the residue Of the lands unsold to 90 to
the benefit of Mr.. Whitney, or that no shall re-
celve such remuneration for his services rs
magnitude aud importance Of tho proposed
Rail road is considered, tho proposal Of Mr..
Whitney must be deemed highly advantageous to
the Union. Tho lands at present worth little
or nothing and can only be made valuable by tho
construction Of the road: but if Mr.. Whitney
were oven to mako a handsome fortune by tho
work, tho immense benefit which he would confer
upon the country would cntitle him to the reward.
With the aid of such Rail road, he believes that
he could safely contract TO deliver teas from China
in London within forty days. 1t would be tho
greatest work in the world, in relation to facilities
for commerce, and would make our country tho
throughfaro of all nations. Nothing can DO lost
TO government by granting the request Of Mr..
Whitney, rs no will DO dependent entirely upon
tho sale of lands for return of tho money which
he eSpends; and should he fail to complete the
undertaking. he must inevitably make a heavy
sacrifice. We take it for granted that no const-
tutional objection can be urged against the work.
and we cannot conceive any use to which tho
public lands could BIO more appropriately applied.
