A Promising move Tor the Eastern

DR.. Watson, the Senator from Aeeomae.
has introduced into the Senate, bill of
considerable Importance, as it seems 70 us
At 6ut glance. 1t is for the charter of a
railroad. eighty miles in length, which shall
run from the lower end Of Northampton
cOunty on the Eastern shore, opposite
Fortress Monroe, up to Salisbury on the
Maryland line; at which place it will con-
meet With road to WILMINGTON, Del. 1t
must be an impOrtaut road when built, both
tOthe people Of the Eastern shore and to the
government of the United States, mas
much as it win give the nation an addi-
tiOual highway from the North TO Hamp-
ton roads and a much more speedy and
inexpensive one than the line of chartered
steamers now used on the Chesapeake
bay. 1t will bring Fortress Monroe within
few hOars ofPhiladelphia and New York,
fact that cannot be oVerestimated in case
Of danger. 1t win make these two cities
the outlet of the Eastern Shore, instead of
doubtful Baltimore, and win infuse North
ern life and trade into the decayed ener-
gieS Of tLat deeayed section of country.

soME of the sightseeing Americans in
Paris are in great Slew because tickets
for presentation at the Tulleries, at a State
entertainment there, were not promptly
furnished to Mr. Dayton for them, by the
Grand Chamberlain. Mr. Angel, ex-diplo-
mat, and Mr. Leslie, Consul to Nice, who
were of the applying party, were properly
attended to by the court diguitary, but
the quality of the other ladies and gentIe-
men was demanded before the right of
presentation could be accorded. To this,
Mr. Dayton made proper and digni6ed
reply, informing N. ThouYeual that such
distinctions as titles do not exist in the
United States, that the list was composed
Of highly respectable names, whose own
ers would be received unhesitatiugly by
the President, and that he (Nlr Dayton)
could not undertake to enter into any fur
ther detail on the subject. No answer to
this communication came from the For
eign Office up to the day of the ball, but
late at night few tickets came, which
Mr. Dayton, III. a huff, returned as uuac-
ceptable. No war is expected from the
affair, but much talk undoubtedly.

The proposition of the House Committee
Of Ways and Means for issuing one hum
died millions of dollars in Treasury notes,
was ably set forth in the speech of Mr..
spaulding, of New York State, a few DAYS
ago. His Statements and positions wee
sum up as follows.
The Government owes a large sum-say
one hundred million dollars-at the pres.
ent moment This cannot be raised BY
permanent loans except at a ruiaous dis
count the ordinary revenue from customs,
&c, VIII fall far short of its usual amount,
the taxes to be imposed viii not be col
leeted for months; some ezpedieut must
therefore be resorted to for the purpose of
meeting existing wants. It is believed the
rsadiest and least cOstIy,way to do it is to
add one hundred millions to the ffty mill
ions Of Treasury notes already in circuln-
ton, making them legal tender for al
debts, whether due to or by the Govern
meut, or between private individuals.
By making them convertible into $50
per cent. notes, or six per cent, bonds, it
is believed that the portion not returned
through the custom house, would be grad
ually exchanged for other securities, as
the Treasury notes accumulated in the
hands of contractors, traders aud other
capitalists. On returning to Washington
they would be re-issued as often as the
wants of the service might render nee
essary. They would thus take the place
of great part of our bank notes as a
circulating medium while the balances of
our foreign commence would continue to
be settled in coin as at present,
These facts appear plausible, and COM
mend the propositionoft the House committee
to favorable consideration, aud will, as we
think they should, induce its adoption by
Congress. Certain precautions and restric.
tons, however, will be necessary, to save
the country and the Government from dis
aster in the future from tine issue of so
large an amount of its promises to pay
Like all notes, they must be amply Sc
cured. They must also be limited to the
amount of the aggregate stated, so as to
guard against the danger Of increasing the
issue indefinitely hereafter, and thus en-
daugeriug its value and increasing the
public burden; mad ample means must be
supplied from taxation to meet the inter-
est, IN coin, on all Indebtedness, and to
institute a sinking fund for its ultimate re-
demptiOn.
Mr. spauldiug argues the necessity of
taxation very strongly. Being indispeu-
sable and uupYOidable, he may rest assur-
ed that the people will bear it, without
much grumbling, if they can only be made
to feel that the war they are contributing
their money to prosecute will result, as We
confidently believe it viii, in the complete
restoration of the country and its prosper
ity, All the people are waiting for now is
to know how aud to what amount they
are to be taxed. They expect it, are ready
for it, and await the action of Congress.
