The New York Legislature and the Ma
tional Banks.

The New York Post says the banking
committee of the House of Assembly of
that State, composed of a majority of Re-
publicans, have made u report, which
blames Secretary Chase for not continu-
ing to fund the national debt as fast as
possible, and by every means it charges
that in order to secure the apparent advau.
tage of lower rate Of interest on long
term bonds, he has suffered or caused an
overissue of legal.tender notes of various
descriptions, thus depreciatiug the curren-
cy, i'll order to increase the value of gold
bearing bonds, and sacrificing the great
interests of the country, causing enhance.
ment Of prices, disturbing commercial OPP
erations, and-eneouragiug the speculative
spirit, iu order to place bonds at five per
cent, Instead of six. Further, it blames
Congress for exempting the holders of
United States securities from taxation,
and especially from State and local taxa
alton I; points out that by this act one hun.
dred aud nine millions worth Of property
is exempted in this State altogether, from
State and locil taxation, all which is held
by banks and corporations who ought to
contribute largely to the support Of law
and order.
The report declares that such state of
things ought not to exist, aud that the at
tempt to control the whole capital of the
country by giving the national banks ad-
yantages Of exemption from taxation over
the local banks, is not proper The com.
mlttee therefore "report adversely to the

The Telegraph TO Europe.

/ There are three routes in contemplation
for connecting Europe and America by
telegraph. One of these routes is from
Cape Race, on the coast of Newfoundland,
to Falentia bay, on the coast of Ireland
This is the route on which the cable was
laid in 1858, and the result of the expert
ment is well known. Another attempt to
lay cable On this route is to be MADE In
| 1868 The distance from shore to shore
is two thousand miles, greater distance
than has ever been worked successfully in
one circuit, either on land or under water.
1t remains to be seen whether science will
be able to overcome the great difficulties
attending the accomplishment of this grea,
feat, as the friends Of the enterprise are
confident Of doing.
Another route is contemplated, via
Behring's Straits, and thence around the
Pacific Ocean to the Amoor river, and by
the Russian line to st. Petersburg
There are 30 physical difficulties ON this
route which may not be overcome with
money. The only submerged line would
be across Behring's Straits, about forty
miles. That portion If Asia around the
sea OF Ochotsk is unknown, and the eli
mate severe. The distance from New
York to st. Petersburg on that. route is
not leso than sixteen thousand miles
The construction Of Il telegraph on this
route will be begun the present season.
Another proposed route is from the
c,ast of Labrador, via Greenland, Ireland
and the Faro Isles, to the north shore of
Scotland The longest distance from
shore to shore is less than FIVE hundred
mlles--a less distance than cables are now
successfully working in the Mediterranean.
Colonel L. P. Shatfner made an explora-
taon Of the route in 1860, aud again with
the aid Of the British goverumeutin 1861,
and found no unexpected obstacles to pre-
vent his success. The water is sail to be
so deep that icebergs never touch bottom
OIL the route of the cable. ",
In letter from Colonel Sbaffner he
has nearly esough money subscribed to
complete his line. The United Suites Tel
egraph Company have informed Colonel
Shaifner that they will furnish him with
the anount which he requires to complete
it. The United States lines will connect
with Colonel Shatfner's ocean line, either
at Quebec or on the cnast of I.abrador.--
Que OF more of the lines to Europe will
undoubtedly be completed in less than two
years, when words viii be transmitted
from contineDtto continent with almost the
rapidity Of thoushl,-4N Y. Looming
