CLOSING up as ee'banks, being chartered
There is to be meeting of the stockholders, bond
holders and other creditors of the Marietta and Gin
cnnati Railroad Company, at Chlicothe on the 10th
OF February. The circular of the secretary assigns
the following state of facts as rendering this meet
ing necessary. 1t will generally be regarded
clusive:-"It has been found absolutely impossible
TO meet the interest which fell due the LIST of No
vember, December and January, respectively. The
notes of the company have necessarily been pro-
tested, and many of the labOres remain unpaid,
some Of whom are now on a strike, and are at the
present moment forcibly OBTAINING the rolling stock
of the company, thus completely suspending the
working Of the road and leaving no prospect of a
successful resumption of business during the current
month. In this emergency the directors cannot but
feel that the interests of all parties in great
jeopardy and require prompt attention"
The Committee on Roads in the Virginia Senate,
have agreed to report bill recommending an APP
preparation Of two and half millions Of dollars to
the leading lines of railroads in that State as fol
lows:-To the Covington and Ohio Railroad, $780,
600; Orange and Alexandria, $500. 600; Alexandra,
Loudoun and Hampshire, 900; Manassas Gap,

These notes RUE IN THIS market at about per
cent discount The reason why the banks do not
inves, large amount Of their specie funds In these
notes is the probable difficulty in making them
available at short notice. A large amount pressing

still lower. The rate of interest Is too low for in

The world is not accustomed to looh 10 New
Jersey for valuable discoveries in government or
legislation but the late Legislature of thst State has
established principle or rule which We have hith-
erto considered and mentally approved without ven
turing TO suggest il, but which. now that II nas
been enacted into law, We decidedly commend TO
general adoption. 1t is the principle of requiring
those mo apply fos act. of special legislation to
pay the cost of action thereon. Half the time OF
every Legislature is taken up with private birs-so
change the corporate name Of religious soc ty-
TO increase the capital or otherwise amend the
charter OF sn Insurance Compauy-to change the
rsme Of Timothy Jones 10 Ezekiel ChicEweed--or
thing Of the sort. To most Of these bil',
there is no serious objection, but there is 10 imsg
nabe reason vhy people who ask nothing of law
makers but to BE- We'll let alone, should De- taxed 70
deray the cost Of spe cia gslatioB. We sugg the
urgent proprety of law requiring the applicants
for each special act TO deposit Sl0O in the State
Treasury, to be refunded to them in case their ap
plicetion shall remain unscted on st the close of
the pending session-One-half to be returned IN
case their bill is considered and rejected-none TO
te returned in case their prayer with such modih-
cations as the Legislature shall enact, is granted.
Such law would put the cost of special legisls-
ton Cd those VITO ought to bear it, while it would
prevent many applications for special acts that are
convenient enough to the sPpicant', but may easily
be dispensed with. In short, such law as New
Jersey has just enacted with regard to special leg
.ation would be beneficial to the great body of the
people, relief to legislators and unjust to no one

TIE ardent advocates of the Administration some
times quite forget that there is any other depart
ment Of the Government beside the Executive.
Thus The n. T. Herald has been in the habit lately
of denouncing Congress as a factous and inefficient
body, AID quite in the way of Mr. Buchanan, who,
il has seemed to think is badly used in having his
acts ard recommendations called in question b. the
imper,inent repre- sentatlyes of the people. We
Judge that this deluson that the President is the
autocrat of the Republic is likely to De shaken by
the progress of events. True to its instincts hove
ever and with most ludicrOus estimate of FreSi-
Dental authority, The Herald Of yesterday exhibits
great anxiety for the fate Of the various steam
line projects and begs Mr. Buchanan not to let them
90 down, but TO uphold them and grant liberal sub
sides TO the deserving. The Herald magines. with
delightful simplicity, that the power of doing this
rests in the hands Of the President. We beg TO IN
foIm that intelligent journal that the services OF
the two Houses OF Congress cannot be Dispensed
with Just yet on jobs of this kind.
