uSuRPATION.

In time of war the public safety is the
supreme law. The Presidents emancipation
proclamation is war measure, founded upon
this law. II the Union, founded upon the
Constitution, can be restored only by the
destruction of Slavery, which is the sole cause
of the rebellion, it is the plain duty of the
President, under his oath to support, protect
and defend the Constitution, to destroy that
cause Yet the semi-secession presses, say
that the President is guilty of usurpation in
issuing the proclamation. The same objec-
ton was made by the same presses to the very
first military act of the Prsident-that Of
calling for $4,000 troops to save the Capital
of the nation. Said the Albany Argus, April
Is, 1861: qg8
The President, if the telegram from
Washington is 10 be believed, has issued q
requisition Cor $4,000 troops from the States
Where does he find the po,cer TO 40 tbs
Congress refused to pass any law for such a
purpose. Existing acts of Congress confer
no such authority. is the proposition weak
attempt at brag? Let not our Democratic
Legislatures be decoyed into countenancins
any such act of UsuRPATIoN. Stand by the
Constitution and laws, but RESIST UsURPA-
TON"
II these semi-secession sheets had had
their own way, the war would have beer
ended in thirty days, by the complete triumph
of the rebels, and the Inauguration of jeff
Davis as President at Washington.

On Caldwell, of Philadelphia, representing the
Freemen's Associations Of those cities, waited
on Secretary Stanton this morning in company
with Senator Sumner, to inquire into the au-
thority under which Gov. Stanley Issued his
order closing the coored schools In North Car
olina. These gentlemen had official advces
that this had been done from Vincent Collyer,
who was teaching fifteen hundred loyal blacks
when the order was issued. Secretary Stanton
showed them his instructions to Gov. Stanley,
which contain not word directing him TO en-
force the local law Of North Carolina; nor DO
they in any other way authorize him to issue the
order in question. Secretary Stanton also said
he would not remain one hour member OF an
administration which sanctioned such proceed
ings as that of Gov. Stanley, and read his visi-
tors the letter which he had just written to that
functionary. After oonsultatation with the

stitute them Military Governors OF their re-

the national power. Their instructions are In

WAsHNGroN, June 4.-The act to prevent

Wool Trade.

WALTER BROWNS MONTHLY NEW YORK CIRCULAR, JUNE Let.
The wool trade has been moderately active and stocks
Of domestic fleece have been gradually reduced, until
at the present time they comparatively light and
the market Is firm at prices slightly improved from the
opening rates Of the month, The great abundance OF
money inclines some holders to keep their wools
safe investment rather than sell them at prices to which
others Of different viewB have submitted Whether this
policy 10 WISE the future only determine. The
son for operating in the country Is at hand and the
clip 10 thought be, both In quality and healthy growth
fully equal to that Of 1861.
The disposition among dealers Of experience in regard
to purchases 10 to act very cautiously believing IL un
safe invest their money In woos at high figures. It
is Gcult to decide at what prices II would be safe to
buy the WOOL the market value Of the article Will
be influenced much by future events, and by the state
OF trade In general.
Manufacturers also inclined TO follow prudent
course, and there Is general conviction that business
Will continue quite moderate until the war Is terminated
or nearly brought to close to relieve the minds Of
business men from the absorbing interest they feel
IN itS buccessful progress.
These considerations and the large stock Of ne wools
known to be accumulatiug In the English markets, 90
we'll the good supply Of these wo0ls already in our
own will have tendency 10 prevent much, II any, ad.
vance In hne domestic wools.
We DO not believe that the average prices through
out the season Will very much vary from the pTeIen.

THIRTY.SEvEETH CONGRESS.
First Session.
WASHINGTON, June 4.

WASHINGTON, June 4.
SENArE--Mr. Wilson offered resolution al
lowing premium of two dollars to every re-
cruit, and months pay in advance to every
volunteer. Passed.
A Joint resolution was passed suspending all
payments in the Department Of the West.
The tax bill was taken up, and discussion
ensued on taxing cotton.
The question being on concurring in the amend
ment striking out the tax on cotton, Mr.. Will
son, of Massachusetts, earnestly opposed any
tax on cotton as unjust to the great manufactur-
ing interests of the country. The burden
would chiefly fall on the Industrial interests of
New England, which, under the proposed bill,
already bears burden, paying at least four
dollars to one as compared with the great agri-
cultural districts of the West. Many of the
cotton mills were closed already, and heavy
tax on cotton would tend to close them all and
throw the operators out of employment.
Mr.. Chandler contended that II was FL aud
proper that tax should be pus on cotton
That was the great source Of the rebellion, and
had been claimed as King, and now we have got
his majesty down, we should keep our foot on
him. He claimed the people of the West,
especially Michigan, paid their full proportion,
and would pay oheeriully. This tax on cotton
would also be burden on France and England,
who had been inimical to the United States in
the present contest.
The discussion was continued ct length by
Messrs. Sherman, Clark, Simmons, Howe and
others.
Mr.. Sherman moved 10 reconsider the vote
which rejected Mr.. Anthony's amendment yes.
terday, to lay q tax OF one-half cent per pound
on cotton. Reconsidered-2A to Is.
The question then recurring on the amend
ment making tax on cotton of one.half cent
per pound, it was adopted--yeas 80, nays 10.
Mr.. Sumner moved to reduce the tax on the
receipts Of insurance companies from three tt
one per cent.
Mr.. Dixon spoke at some length 10 favor o.
the reduction.
After long discussion the amendment wal
rejected-l6 20 90.
Mr.. Fessenden offered an amendment maxim,
the tax on marine insurance companies one-hal
of one per cent on the receipts. Rejected.
Mr.. Collamer offered an amendment except
ing mulual insurance companies. Adopted.

Railroad Communication between
Washington and che Northwest
Route of the Pacific Railroad.
New YoRK, June 3.-The Herald's Washing
ton dispatch says The House committee on
Railroads, etc., instructed their chairman, Mr..
Mallory, of Kentucky, to report bill to further
the construction Of the Pittsburg & Connellsvle
Railroad TO the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at
Cumberland. This is in accordance with the
memorial of members Of the Legislature of
Ohio, which sets forth the need Of closer, speed
Ter and more direct communication between the
Northwest and Washington.
By this road, in connection with the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad, seventy miles would be saved
in transit from the great Northwest to the seat
Of Government. 1t Is represented in the me.
mortal that the amounts that would be saved in
freights and fares by this line, would soon more
than repay any temporary outlay Of the Govern
ment expenses of transportation on military &C.
count. Accordingly the committee report in
favor Of indorsDg the bonds Of the Connels-
vile road to the amount of $4,000 900, under
proper securities, provided that troops, muni-
tions of war and stores shall be carried over
said road at half the usual price,
The route of the Pacific Railroad, as provided
by the bill that has passed the House, runs grad
ually and directly north and west from 81. Jo-
seph, Missouri, TO the Southwest Pass, near the
43d parallel of latitude, and thence defects
southwest to the Great Salt Lake, from which
point It describes circular course In north.
7 erly direction, and enters California above
Sacramento. The steepest grade is upon the
Sierra Nevada, and is about 104 feet. At all
other points the grades are not extraordinary.
