TIE RAILROAD SECURITIES OF THE BOkG
DER SLAVE STAYES

The decline in the securities of the border States
is easily understood by all who know the fOunda-
tion upon which they rest. 1t is q mistake to
suppose that the Northwestern and Northern States
are the sole posseors of railway enterprises based
on speculation, and that they only would suffer by
civil war, upon which many look cooy. The
entered D9taiy i7t"'i.o work of Internal improve
ment, and that they are in no degree behind the
free States in modes Of internal transit, based on
credit, safe operation in time of peace, or in a
foreign war; but one full Of danger when civil war
reigns. The following table will show about the
debts for internal improvements Of the four leading
States, but the actual amount is above the figures

This decline has been shown during time when
these States have faithfully and promptly met
their obligations. lfalarm at the chance of inter
nal disturbance causes such depreciation in the
value Of States Of undoubted honor and ability,
who can estimate the confusion which would follow
a disorganizaton of business through the presence
Of civil war? The obligations of these States like
other railway securities, would be dishonored,
sweeping off at stroke the bases of the bank cur
rency of the Northwest, making it in the hands of
holders practically worthless. for no reconstruction
conld take place for years. In the end, currency
based upon such stocks would be paid, but original
holders would have sold out for a song. Illinois,
Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin have now di-
rect and personal interest in extending to the bor-
der States every concession possible if they would
escape a bank panic and ruin, such as 1887 and
1857 developed, and their attention cannot be
kept too closely fixed upon this point The curren-
cy Of four States is based upon debts owed By slave
States and its preservation at the present standard
in New ork is essential to their financial safety
To the Administration these facts are com
mended, as showing that the shortest way to ruin
the West will be to coerce the South by force of
arms-thus securing an amount Of financial embar-
rassment such as the country never saw.

require attorneys practising in the Courts to take
an oath to support the Constitution of the Uuited
States. Yesterday, in Henrico Court, Mr. Cooke

Cooke and Rosser, and the Court unanimously de-
cided that the applicant should not be required to
take the oath, notwithstanding the earnest request
of the Commonweatir's Attorney to continue the
motion till next day, in order to examine the ar

From the best Information that can be gathered,
the steamer Empire City has been chartered at
New \ Ork, b. the Government, and during the week
she has been receiving on board large quantities of
army stores, sufficient for the subsistence of two or
three thousand men, which, with the necessary coal
for the outward and return trip, has loaded that
vessel nearly to the waterways. The statement,
which is supposed to be derived from sources like
ly to be informed OF army movements, that she is
going to Texas, is doubt the correct one. Load
ed as deep she swim, her movements win
necessarily be slow, and fully two weeks should be
allowed for her to reach her destination at Indian
