OVER BROADWAY.

Mr.. R. Montgomery, No. "a Broadway has
patented an Iron Street Railway, to be sup
ported on bent pillars of corrugated wrought
jron-one track on each side of the roadway
or between the sidewalk and the usual car
riageway. This track is to be II feet above
the roadway, with which it nowfse interferes
taking only somuch of the sidewalk MS is now
obstructed by lamp posts, awning posts, &c.
Ofconrse, the passage across the street traversed
is nowise impeded. The propclling power is
supplied by a dummy engine which is entirely
voiceless and sparkless. The schome looks
feasible; it does not seem likely to excite
much opposition and the failroad, ifpainted
and bronzed, would be decided ornament to
the street A light staircase at one corner of
each street affords the requisite facility for
reaching and quitting the cars The plan has
been examined and approved as feasible aud
unobjectionable by Horatio Allen, Miers Cas-
yell, and others eminently qualified to judge
of its merits. .-TrTuns.

Tne Fenian Quarrel.

ThwEFeuan quarrel maintains it's in-
terest ,aad judging from the space devoted
to it in the New York papers, attracts an
unusual share Of attention. One import
ant point developed during the quarrel is
the fact that our Irish born citizens have
made large contributions to the FeoIan
cause out Of their hard earnings. which is
not only being used for unlawful purposes
but is being wasted by their leaders in
wild project, luxurious living aud private
sprculations. Let us name few of the
disclosures. There are $27 900 for the
rent of q house, $4,000 for extravagaut
furniture, $50 900 asked to supply troops
in the field (what field y 500 900 lost in
gold speculations, and $3.50, 900 said to
have been loaned to some newspaper -
Some of these sums may be overstated'
but they are all given upon authority OF
Q'Mahoney himself. It's crnel shame
that the poor, hard. working Irish people
of this country should have their earnings
taken from them for such scandalous pur-
noses and We trust their eyes WILDE opened
bv this faction fight among their leaders
both Ms TO the waste of their money, and
the unlawful purposes to which it is pro-
posed to apply it.

ESynMr. Broomall of Pennsylvania yester-
day offered the following preamble and reso-
luton:
Whereas. All just government derives it's
powers from the consent of the governed; and
,chercds, the best way of obtaining that con
sent is tn, ough the ballot box; and achereas,
the white men ofthe District of Columbia have
by that means decreed that in their opinion
the black men Of the District should not be
allowed the right of suffrage; therefore
ResolUed. That the District of Columbia
Committee be instructed to inquire into the
expediency of ordering an election at which
the blacks of the District shall decide by ballot
whether in their opinion the white men ofthe
District should be allowed the right of suf-
frage.
The House tabled it by heavy vote. We
do notsuppose Mr.. Brcomall expected his reso-
luton to pass, but it accomplshes It's purpose
by exposing the absurdity of the election
lately held. 1t is notright that either whites
or blacks should vote to exclude the other
from a share in the Government, but it is just
as rsonable that blacks should so vote as that
whites should And since the latter claim
superior intelligence, they ought to be all the
more ashamed of their recent performance

Es-EEtzs DISCHARGE PApERs.-A
sssv GsaFt slEoe. Captain Lacey, formerly
~ III gbl9 regiment. but now in the Sixth
1gptsis9rs O5ee, Washington, received
fcg,r oaeof his old comrades letter which
STATED that the brokers in Ohio were buy
ing up soldiers discharge papers, at from
one to six hundred dollars ,and asked what
possibly could be the object. The Captain
ref red the matter to General Baker, who
replied as follows First, that he knew
of no Legitimate cause for soldiers dis
charge papers and second, that the sale
or tranfer Of said paper cannot carry with
it any proft-they can only be used BY
their legitimate holder, unless Congress
passes a law making valid such purchase
or transfer. If the papers are bought and
sold the buyer evidently supposes that
such law will be passed by Congress, ,and
that be will be entitled to all the benefits
to which the soldier himself would be en-
titled. . General Baker further says, thai
though such transfer would be legal h'
would advise all soldiers to keep thel
papers, and not barter away the HONORABLE
records.
