The Hemn6e1d R.;,ro.a

There IS, IN our Judgement, all increasing in
tereSt ielt IN the business commun MY Of Philadel
phia, IN favor OF the prompt construction of this
connecting link between the Pennsylvania Rail
road and the great lines of Western roads which
are fast divcrging towards the Ohio river at Whee-
ling.
1t is therefore n source of sincere pleasure 10 us
to be able to announce the selection Of a GENTLE
man who stands high in the confidence of the
public here, to preside over the affairs of Il, e Com
pany, and contribute by his recognized ability
and energy, to the rapid on3letion of the enter
prise.
We are officially Informed that the Hon. r. Y.
Conrad of this city has been elected President of
the Hempfield Railroad Company, and has already
entered, with his accustomed zeal and power, up
on the arduouSd duties of the post. We congratu.
late the company upon the wisdom ofthcir choice;
Tor we know not wilere they could have found a
gentleman better qualified by natural
and by education, to advocate and sustain their in
terests. And we congratulate Judge Conrad, too,
IN having under his care n work of so much inter
est to the country, and especially to Philadelphia,
with whose interests he has beens so long and close
ly identified.
We regard the Iempfeld railroad as in no sense
a local work, but. on the contrary. an essential
link in a great chain of improvements, by which
Philadelphia is to be permanently connected with
a vastarea of the Mississippi valley, and which Sc
cures to him who presides over its fort mes, asso-
CATION with an immense national interest.
We wish Judge Conrad. and the enterprising
Company with whose fortunes his future FAME is 10
be identified, the most abundant success, both for
their owl sake and for the prosperity of this city,

MEssRs. EDITons: The attempt now making in
Congress to put down the vile spawn Of paper coin,
SO prolific in the District of Columbia, is most meri-
torious on the part of the promoters and friends of
the measure, and must, Unsuccessful, as it should
be, prove highly salutary and beneficial to the peo-
pie of the District, and indeedit to the State %atlarge.
1t is high time that the Legislature of every State
in the Union should look more strictly into this
matter OF paper money. For why's it that with all
the prodigious influx of gold which is constantly
pouring in upon us, there should be so It'll. gold or
silper, and so much paper money in circulation!
In some of the great nations of the
Old Void, where the, evil o. an unrestrained pa
per currency had been:ofien felt, it is consoling 10
think that public feeling and the power of govern
ment have been successfully exerted in graphing
with and checking it. The thing has beenssub-
Iected to a Judicious control, and placed under u
salutary restraint. And our rulers here might well
initiate the good example by abolishing entirely the
issues of one dollar and five dollar bills, and pla
eng such restrictions on, and eXacting such Secu-
rlty OF all parties, companies or corporations issuing
paper money, as may, fnot fully, yetto a consid-
cradle extent, protect the public, whose credulity

abolished, after the LIST day of March, the privilege

measure, its provisions ought 10 be extended, and
issues for less than from ten to twenty dollars should
