as to the constitutional validity Of the pro-
ceedings Of Congress upon the Joint resolu-
| tion proposing the amendment, or as to the
merits of the article which it submits
| through the Executive Department to the
| legislatures of the States, deem it proper
to observe that the steps taken by the Sec
retary of State, as detailed in the accom-
panying report, are to be considered as pure
ly ministerial, and in no sense whatever, as
committing the Executive to an approval of
the Recommendation Of the amendment TO
the State Legislatures, or to the people. On
the contrary, a proper appreciation of the
letter and spirit of the Constitution, as well
as of the interest of national order, harmony
and union, and Difference TO an enlight
ened public judgement, may, at this time,
suggest doubt whether any amendment to
the Constitution ought to be proposed by
Congress and pressed on the Legislatures of
the several States for a final decision until
after the admission of such Representatives
and Senators of the now unrepresented
States as have been, or may may hereafter
be chosen, in conformity with tho COnstitu-

Clevelana & Mahoning RaIlroad.

We make the following extract from a
speech delivered in the House recently,
by General Garfield, in which he explains
the grounds on which be based his bill
authorizing the Cleveland & Mahoning
Railroad Company to extend their rosd
from Youngstown to Pittsburgh:
"In 1851 the State of Ohio, before we
had a general railroad law, chartered the
Cleveland & Mshoning Railroad Com
pany, and authorized it to construct a
railroad from the city of Cleveland to
Youngstown, and thence down the Ma
honing valley to the Pennsylvania line
and in the year 1858 the State of Penn
sylvania chartered company made up OF
the same corporators and authorized them
to construct road from the State line,
and connecting with the Cleveland &
Mahoning road, to the city of Pittsburgh
So that in 1858 the company was author
lied by the Legislatures of the two State:
to build road from the city of CleFe-
land to the city of Pittsburgh on the most
direct route possible, making line Of
one hundred and thirty-four miles be
tween the two cities, sixteen miles shorter
than aasy existing road, and almost in 6
direct line with the Pittsburgh and Con
nellsYille lins, through Cumberland, con-
Meeting thence to the Point of Rocks, and
making, when the roads shall be compile.
ed, continuous line between Cleveland
and Washington, eighty-four mile
shorter than any existing line, and tht
shortest possible route between those tvs
cities. When sIxty-seven miles of thu
road were completed and the remainde
of the route surveyed and the.Basney
raised for its construction, the @Iegisla
ture of Pennsylvanis, in Nay of 1864, re
! pealed the charter Of the Pennsylvania
! portion of the rosd, and we are thus shu
out from thiA direct avenue TO Pittsburgh
and the value of the investment has beel
very serioualy diminished. Thus, if an
correctly informed, by the Overwhelming
influence of railroad corporation i
Pennsylvania, acting through the Legis
, lature, the Pennsylvania end of the en-
terprise is overthrown, snd the company
with all its expenses, with its psid u

Dog on His Travels.

A novel direction was written upon q
box containing dog, which had been
brought from the far West by Hsrnden's
express, and attracted much attention in
front of the Boston office one morning g
We copy portion of it: ITO my friends
l am going to Grafton, Mass, TO take the
place of my brother who died short time
since-and as 1 am confined in this box,
l am obliged to rely upon the kindness of
my friends for care and protection. have
food to last me three days, and vessel

crafty me very much to have supplied

what the country needs, but it tends to

stock, and everything ready to complete
it, has sh&dsits charter knocked out from
underit. Our people have applied to the
Legislature of Pennsylvania to do them
justice and allow the work 10 go on, and
thus secure the opening of direct COM
munieation between the West and the At
lantic sea-board, but they have never
been able to get any sort Of relief or JUS
tice.7 Thoy have been referred TO rail-
road committees, and railroad committees
have referred them to railroad presidents
and managers, but TO no purpose. l.--a
After repeated efforts to secure their
rights from the Legislature of Pennsylya-
MIA, they have now appealed to Congress,
and ask to be defended in their rights and
allowed by authority of Congress to go
forward and complete this line of roads,
which is work of great national import
ance. Tho road contemplated in this bill
will open one of the richest mineral val
leys Of the country to direct communica-
ton with the Atlantic sea-bOard. The
Mahoning valley sbounds in iron ore and
coal, and is vitality and Intimately con-
nected with the Lake Superior iron inter
est. Vast quantities of Lake Superior
nun are DTOuguL W llihL NhlloJ anu lulAo0
with our Ohio ore, and when melted by
the use of our coal makes quality of iron
equal to the best Swedish iron, and ac-
cording to the test of the Navy Depart
ment the finest iron produced in the Uni
ted States. The great interests thus pro-
posed to be opened are in some measure
paralysed by the action of the Legislature
of Pennsylvania. That State sits between
the Atlantic and the Pacific, forbidding
transit across her territory except By the
route already provided, which is in the
hands of gigantic monopoly. No MEM
Der Of Congress from the West can reach
this city from the lakes unless he shall 60
miles out of the way through
Pittsburgh and Harrisburgh and Balti-
more; and the people of the West, as
well as those Of New England, demand
that there shall be free communication be-
tween these two sections of the Union,
and that no State Legislature shall OBJ
struct or hinder it.

The Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Tbe President to-
day sent the following message to the Sem
ate and House of Representatives
submit to Congress a report Of the Sec
retary of State, to whom was referred the
concurrent resolution of the 18th instant,
respecting a submission to the Legislature
OF the States of an additional article to the
Constitution of the United States
twill be seen ffom this report that the
Secretary of State had, on the 10th instant,
transmitted TO the Governors of the several
States certified copies of the joint resolution
passed on the 18th, proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution.
Even in ordinary times a question Of
amending the Constitution must be justly
regarded as of paramount Importance. This
Importance is at the present time enhanced
by the fact that the joint resolution was
| not submitted by the two Houses for the
approval Of the President, and that of tho
/ thirty six States which constitute the Union
eleven are excluded from representation il
| either House Of Congress, although, with
1 the single exception Of Texas, they hayG
been entirely restored to sll their functions
as States in conformity 10 the organic law:
| of the land, and have appeared at the a.
tional Capitol, by Senators and Represents
lives, who have applied for and been redns-
ed admission to the vacant seats, nor have
the sovereign people of the nation been
afforded an opportunity Of expressing
i their views upon the very important
Questions which the amendment involves
Grave doubts, therefore, may naturally anc
instlu arise "a to whether the action OF Con
eress is in harmony with the sentiment o
the people. and whether the State LeE1sla
lures, elected without reference to such a.
issue should be called upon by Congress
