The Sunday Cars,

The vote of the Senate last evening against
the proposed amendment to the charter Of the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com.
pany, striking out the provlso compelling the
street cars TO be run on Sundays, does not, as
we understand II, affect the power Of the cor.
pany to run their care on Sunday, subject to
the approval of the city government. The
section Of the proposed act on this subject,
reads as follows
THAT from and after the passage of this &C.
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany shall, during all sessions Of Congress,
run one car each way every two minutes be-
tween the hours OF ten O'Clock In the morning
and six O'Clock in the afternoon on their main
line OF railway from the eastern front OF the
capitol and from Seventeenth street, passing
between said points at ratio of speed not ex-
eeeding seven and not less than Eve miles per
hour; irocidsd, That on Sundays the said com.
pany shall run cars at the same intervals of
time as prescribed In the original law for the
other days OF the week"
Ifthis proviso should finally be struck out II
will make only this differences that the COM
pany will run the cars just as they please, II
they have the consent of the Mayor.
We have received but ono communication
against the Sunday cars, and that was based
upon the argument that the conductors and
drivers will be deprived Of church privileges.
But they can employ substitutes part of the
day, If inclined to attend church, and thus all
may have the stated preaching of the gospel.
Besides, when the cars did not run, these OBJ
Jeetors did not propose that Congress should
pass law compelling conductors and drivers,
or any other man, to so to church. Furth9-
moro, the running Of the cars on Sunday will
enable many hack drivers TO attend church
who now charge two dollars an hour for drlv-
ing other people to church, which poor folks
can but lily afford.
The truth is that this whole question has
been fully canvassed and prsyerfully consld-
cred in other cities quite as good as Washing
ION, and in most OF them the cars are allowed
10 run. In Boston the cars have free course on
Sunday, and the churches are much better Hlled
N consequence; and there is no good reason TO
believe that the social, moral, or religious in
erests of this city will bo damaged by Sunday
,ars

Miss KATE VANcB.-This young lady, who's,
wonderful performance of Mazeppa at Growers
has been witnessed by immense audiences and
applauded to the echo, received liberal enco
miums from the Boston press lately. The Bos,
ton Saturday Evening Gazette Of the 18th says:
Miss Kate Vance has continued the magnet
at the Howard AthenRum, and her efforts have
been loudly applauded by many for whom the
especial character of her plays and the peculiar
quality Of her style has a singular charm. She
has alternated and sometimes conjoined her
representation of "Mazeppa" with that OF
"Rookwood," besides appearing as "McClel.

"PERFEoTLY OPAQUE AND CLEAR" - A
morning contemporary has the following lumi-
nous paragraphs upon the counterfeit postal
currency:
As there often arise doubts as to the genu-
ineness Of the postal currency, those who OBJ
serve the following facts can readily distin-
guish between a counterfeit and bona J1de
note;
As counterfeiters are obliged to wet-priDt
their limitations on account of the tremendous
machinery that is requisite for dry printing, all
counterfeits are smaller than the genuines and
the heads on the front are not so well executed.
These are differences readily observable, so
that no one need entertain doubts In receiving
or passing notes of the fractional currency.
This reminds us OF the explanation given by
quack in an advertisement of his famous
lozenges, which ran as follows: "The albumen
being coagulated, the gelatine liqulaed, and the
ozonazone corrugated, these lozenges are
necessary to restore the complexion"

At quarter past 12 o'clock to-day, gold
was selling over tho counters in New York at
225.
The New York Commercial of yesterday after
noon says
There was crowded attendance at the
gold room this morning, but no transactions,

come law. A strong disposition was mani
tested to have discussion of the matter. and
determine upon some measure of resistance To
the new law. 1t was finally thought best to
adjourn sine die. The provost marshal was in
the vicinity of the room, but found no occasion
to interfere, though at one time it appeared
likely that policeman would be required to
settle political differences among the excited
members"
The Evening Post has the following;
"GOld is selling at 2O2 by the brokers, who
are buying at 200. In foreign exchange the
business Is totally suspended, In consequence
OF the new law, which is regarded as likely to
inJure considerably the foreign commerce OF

BALTIMORE, June 2l.-The statement In some
of to-ddy's Northern papers that Mosby IL
north of the Potomac with a largo force, or any
force, Is absurd and totally without foundation
No hostile force, great or small, has crossed
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
any point during the present season; and fol-
several weeks not even an armed guerrilla has
been seen near the road.
