CoTroS.-Planters are busy getting out
the feecy ez-king, and, judging from the
eoEerness evinced by buyers to get it into
their hands, we are rather inclined to think
that some fellows like to pay homage in and
around the place where the supposed defunct
king was buried But we don't believe his
feeciness died at all and if he did, that
don't amount TO much, for Hardeman county

MAKING A GENERAL.

We note with regret that bill has been sub
mitted to Congress (HouSe) proposing the cres-
ton of the rank of General in the Army of the
United States-said General TO rank our present
Lieutenant General, and to be paid fifty per
cent. more than the Lieutcnant- Generals emolu-
ments-that is to say, about S2O, 600 per annum.
1t cannot be that our little army of fifty thousand
or thereabout needs in peace commander OF
higher rank Cor larger pay) than our armies,
amounting in the aggregate to One Million or
over required when we were involved in q
tremendous war; and, if this bill is intended
only to increase the pay of our present Lieuten-
ant.General, we are decidedly opposed to the
means. even more than to the end. We pro.
test against raising any ones compensation, or
increasing expenditures in any quarter, until
we shall have returned to a sound, redeem
able Currency Let US be honest before
we undertake to be munifcent. Every sol.
dier's widow, now Shiyering through the Winter
on 81 per month, mutely appeals to us for
resumption of Specie Payments, whereby her
monthly pittance will be made to yield her
hungry babes nearly double the subsistence it
now does; and even the Lieut.. Generals pay
would thus be increased in legitimate, benefi-
cent way. Gentlemen in Congress! let US pay
our benelactors the sums We pretend now to
allow them, instead of making an empty parade
of increasing their allowance.

AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

That our City needs and must have a double
track, mainly underground railroad running
cars by steam at very brief intervals from some
point on the Harlem River to the Battery, we
believe no one doubts. We have heard nc
ayowal Of hostility to such a road. But the bill
passed last Winter was not signed by the Coy
ernor forreasons fairly set forth by him, aud
which have never been controverted. Gov.
Fenton is not hostile to an underground rail-
road-very far from it-but he is hostile to the
provision embodied in the bill of last Winter
authorizing the Common Council TO grant or
lease to its directors the real estate of the City
ut their discretion. And the offer OF the cOrp0-
rators not to avail themselves of this privilege
the Governor knows TO be q legal nullity, of no
account whatever An act must be unexcep-
tionablc Oh It's face, and cannot be made so by
private stipulations and understandings to which
the enacting power is no party.
Yet The N. y Times calls again Oh the Cover
nor to sign the bill which he has already disap-
proved, and makes pretext for a most out
rageOus attack on him, as follows:
I'VE want the Governors signature TO the ncorporat
Ing actnOw withheld Tor which are Jar better

The fact that the bill Of last session was
passed just before adjournment is one for which
the Governor is nowise responsible, and which
divested him of none of his constitutional
rights. Should a bill be passed this Winter thai
the Governor can conscientiously sign, be win

TOO MUCH MANAGEMENT.

The following paragraphs are cut from LouSl-
ana journals of the old pro-Slavery school-one
of them, if we mistake not, from The OpcloHsa'
Courier:
"The planters of the parish Of st. Landry were "a
hold public meeting at Opelousas on the ph FOR the
purpose of concerting measures for undertaking the
crop and the arrangements to be made with the
freedmen for the aboyespooihed purpose"
Very many planters are In the market at Baton
Rouge for abOrcrs for the coming aud are oieinR
prices that in most Instances Ill ruin them to pay. In
pursuit of this suicidal course they inure the negro
labofers whom they cntce from their old homes inJure
the former master; and benefit no one-not even them
selves"
1t seems that the planters around Baton
Rouge do Mt understand their own business,
and are so simple that their negro laborers are
likely to ruin them by extorting too high wages.
In ST. Landry, there is danger of like catas.
trophe; but the shrewder capitalists are coming
together to fix wages so that the rapaoious
Blacks shall not eat the whole country out OF
house and home There is fair ground Of hope,
therefore, that St. Landry will not "injure the
negro laborer," by giving him such exorbltani
wages that be will never be able TO spend them.
Thus the world moves on.

COIORADO.

We are indebted to Governor Cummings Of
Colorado for an official statement of the returns
of every election held in Colorado since its or
ganzation as a Territory. According the Gen.
sus taken in 1861, this Territory had an aggre'
gate population of 25, 800, Of which Is, 1856 were
white males over 2l years, 2,G22 white male
minors, 4,434 white females, and 81 negroes.
At an election held in August, 1861, the
aggregate vote was 1O,5S0; at the election fol
Delegate to Congress, in December, 1861, 1854;
at the election in October, 1862, 1924. In
September, 1864, the number Of voters fol
Delegate to Congress fell to 5,769. The aggre
gate vote on the adoption of the State Consti
tuition, which was submitted to the people al
the same time, was somewhat higher, amount
ing to 6,l92, and giving a majority Of 3,i5.
against the adoption of the Constitution. When
the Constitution was again voted upon, in
September, 1865, the aggregate vote was 5,89o,
and the majority for the new Constitution l55.
A special vote was at the same time taken on
the question Of negro suffrage, which was
rejected by majority Of 3,7l6. At the election
for State Governor the aggregate number OF
votes was 7,457 and the plurality of Gilpn, the

These are the official plans. As for the propo-

they are numberless One plan is to construct

gondolas, lamps, and lanterns. This miniature

hood of vincennes. New plans for the city

hotel is to be built in the vicinity OF the present
mammoth concern, which, among other things,
is to have a concert.room so large that present
existing halls will be like alcoves by the side OF
it, 1t is proposed to construct glass roof oveI
the Palas Royal, and to put in twelve hundred
billiard tables. Finally, in the neighborhood o
Passy, company will build a eararanserie fol
the accommodation of strangers at reduced
prices. If half of these plans are executed, the
Parisians themselves will have to set about
studying their own city. There is nothing about
them, however, moro imposing than the work
already accomplished in Paris during the past
four years; and the Exposition promises to be a
