THE ALEXANDRIA RAILR'D BONDS, guar
antied by the city Of Washington, are to be
paid at maturity. This, we are confident,
will be approved of by every high minded
citizen, fer although the granting Of the
guarantee may have been impolitic and lilo
gal, the bonds lcere guaranteed and should b.
paid. The city councils have authorized tie
Mayor to employ such counsel and take such
legal steps as may be deemed advisable to
secure the claim Of the city on the road,
which was intended to protect the bonds
1t appears, however, that before this mort
gage was put on record, another one wa,
given by the company u Fo"le, Snowden Il
Co.. of Alexandria, Il member of which firm
WAS director in the company. II this mort
gage can be set aside 10 equity, the 500, 900
will not be total loss. At any rate, it was

4 SUGGESTION As there is at present, and
during the session Of Congress, a large crowd
of persons in Washington, many more than
can be comfortably accommodated, we would
suggest to members and others who prefer
real comfort and quiet, to excitement and in
conveuieuces, always experienced where there
are 80 many congregaJed, that they can tind
m ,st excellent accommoda tons in Alexandria.
With the present facilities for communication
between the two cities, 10y Railroad and Steam
boat, persons can reside here and transact
business in Washington, without inconveni-
ence. Our hotels and boarding houses will
compa re most favorably with those in W ash
ington aud prices of board are lower.
Strangers who have visited our city give
Newton's Hotel the preference over any
hotel in Washington, and so We can say OF
the City Hotel and Marshall House. Where
families are concerned, the advantages pos
sesscd in Alexandria nre great. and we feel
coufi1cnt that if our suggestion be adopted It
will afford satisfaction.

REPAyING King STREET.-SJme tine ago
We called attention to the condition OF King
street, and the necessity for repaving it.
Shortly afterwards a resolution passed the
Council, nstructing the appropriate commit
tee to report the probable cost of the work,
g., but whether the committee ever reported
or what action was taken, if report was
made, has never been made known. We
consider the object of such great Importance
that we refer to il again, and call on the
Council to take immediate action IN the
premises, and if the work can be done for
aDy reasonable sum, let it at once be com
menced. There are few things which ope-
r tie against city more than bad streets, and
especially when they are the principal ones.
4 drive over King street in Its present con-
dition would be sure to prejudice the mind of
q stranger, and all who are not compelled,
enter that part of the city bysome other street.
The proprictors of property along the street
would be willing to pay an additional tax for
the purpose of having the street repaved, and
the benefits arising from an improvement Of
the sort would be SO great that none would
even were it done at the expense OF
the city.

Congress.

In the Senate, yesterday, a commuHica-
ton was presented from the Secretary OF
War, giving the number of troops stationed
in Kansas for each quarter from the lst OF
January, 1855, to the present time.
Mr.. Steuart, from the Committee on Com
merce, reported bill Tor the better reguiat-
ing of night signals on board OF sail vessels
navigating the Northern lakes and rivers.
Mr.. Mason from the Committee on For
eign Relations submitted IA report on Cen
trail American affairs.
The report sustains generally the views Of
the Administration on this subject. The
committee believe with the President that
Commodore Padding exceeded his instruc-
tions in arres.ing the fllibusters on the soil
of Nicaragua, aud recommends al amend
ment of the neutrality laws, So that offenders,
engaged in consummating their hostile plans
against a country with which We are at peace
may, when captured, be brought to trial ln-
stead of being released
The debate on Kansas affairs was resumed
and MIR. Harlan ad dressed the Senate.

January 23-'5S.
Sir In reply 10 your note OF this evening, |
have 10 say that, in making 10 you the PROPOSE
tons contained in my letter OF this morning,
was only following the example you had set
me OF a violation OF the code" the rights and
privileges Of which you now claim You should
either Stand within the limits OF the code, or
outside Of them-not first within and then with
out, a may suit your necessities or your fancy.
II within the code then, as the aggrIeyed party,
il was your duty TO have demanded satisfaction
of me in accordance with the requirements Of
that code. But you thought proper TO act other
wise-to put yourself outside OF the code-and
utterly disregard "the usage which obtains
among gentlemen In a word, you set out
witl-a deliberate violation OF the code and
now claim To have conceded to you all the rights,
privileges and advantages wRICa the cod &C
cords to those who recognize II ana regulate
their conduct by IT, This unj ust and eXtraord-
nary concession | am not prepared 10 make 10
yUu. or 10 any other man. Under the clrcum-
stances, therefore, you are not e,titled 10 any
recognition from me under the code. nave,
therefore, submitted to you proposition out
side OF II. which you are at liberty to accept or
not. as suits you 1t is proposition which puts
us both on terms OF perfect equality, although,
| admit YOU ii is not within the limits OF the
recognized code of honor. But submit that 1t
is not Tor yoi, to object to such proposition upon
the ground tnat il Is entirely incompatible with
the usage which obtains among gentlemen
Your course of proceeding certainly had not
the sanction OF such usage" How, then, can
You reasonably object to my propositions Tor the
reasons assigned III your Letter
In conclusion, have to say TO you, that |
have no other proposition TO make, aud, as you
decline the one have made, this letter concludes
nay CORES podeuce with sou.
