The Vacant Seat.

The New York Commercial. though a
Republican Journal. has too high sense of
honor and right to refrain from speaking in
Just terms of an act which has branded the
Radical faction in the United States Senate
with indclible infamy. 1t we'll remarks:
few years ago. when Preston Brook,
struck down Nr. Sumner, the seat of the
Massachusetts, Senator, SO long vacant, was
an impressive testimony against the outrage
committed By the South Carolinian. Now,
L seat from New Jersy is empty its occupant
struck down b. Mr.. Sumner. who is applaud
Ell for an act done in the interest of party,
and as clearly nnjustiliable al that for which
he suffered so long.
Mr. Stockton is now unscated because his
place is needed for partisan purposes, and
Thad. Stevens admits as much when he tele-
graphs Scoval that "a Coppcrhead is better
than a twaddlcr.'
The New Jersey Legislature are now in
session after the usual time of Adjournment.
If they adjourn without eleciing Senator,
the Republicans run great risk. as the next
Senate will undoubtedly show democratic
majority. As it is, the situation is decidedly
Interesting.

CONGR ESS.

The event of the week in Congress has
been the passage Of the civil rights bill''
over the veto of the President. How it was
forced through the senate was explained in
our last. Mr.. Stockton, of New Jersey, who
was as legally entitled to his seat as any man
III t. e Senate, was ousted to give the radicals
Tin the absence of Mr. Dixon (of whose alb
sence on accoun: of sickness, advantage was
taken) a two thirds majority in the Senate
In the House, of course no such high handed
easures were needed, as at least three
ouTths Of the members Of that body obey the
behesis of Thad. Stevens as meekly as galley
slaves. 1t had to be faced through the house,
however. under the gag Of the previous. ques-
II. Not single speech was permitted TO
be made in favor of the Presidents veto
The passage of this bill commences new
era in the legislation Of congress. 1t is in
effect proclaiming that the doctrine of state s
as held so tenaciously BIZ TIE fathers, was al
delusion. The states, north and south
henceforth are to be but appendages of Con-
gress, and stale legislatures and state officers
are as useless as they are powerless. All
must row bend to the great central de.pot>
ism at Washington.

mad ambition, would at the same time dig
the grave of our political system. We be-

Another outrage.

Gen. Howard, the Freedmen's Bureau
Chief. 1--WE do not mean that he Is merely
bureau Chief" but that he is Chief of the
Bureau,) has issued proclamation to the
negroes of the District of Columbia to the
effect that after the 10th inst, no ra:ions will
be issued to them, and the soup houses will
be discontinued. He also presumes to advise
the freedmen to leave the District, search for
places and go TO work.
There can be no doubt that the Radicals
will take some measures to prevent the con-
summation of such outrage on the rights
of the freedmen. What is this world coming
to. when loyal men like Gen. Howard will
not fatten lazy negroes a. the national cost?

APPEARANCE OF TUE Sun FROM THE NORTH
PoLEI-To person standing at the north
pole, the sun appears to sweep horizontally
around the SKY every twenty four hours, with.
out any rercepli5le variation during its cir
cult in its distance from the horizon. On
the 21st of June it is 20 degrees 3S minutes
above the horizons little more than one
fourth OF the distance to the zenith, the high,
est point that it ever reaches. From the
altitude it slowly descends, its track repres-
ented by spiral or screw with very fine
thread; and in the course of three months it
worms its way down to the horizon, which it
reaches on the 23rd of September On this
day it slowly sweeps around the sky, with its
face half hidden below the icy sea. 1t still
continues to decend aid after it has entirely
disappeared it Is still so near the horizon
that 1T carries, bright twilight around tie
heavens in its daily circuit As the sun sinks
lower, This twilight gradually grows fainter,
till 1t fades away. On the Goth of December
the sun is % degrees 80 minutes below the
horizon, and this is the midnight of the dark
winter of the pole. From this date the sun
begins TO ascend and after a time his return
is hera lded by faint dawn, which circles
slowly around the horizon, completing its
circuit every "a hours. THIS dawn grows
gradually brighter and on the goth of March
the peaks of ice are gilded with the first level
rays OF six months day. The brighter of
this long day continues to wind his spiral
way upward till ne hes his higheit place
on the 2lst of June, and his annual course is

we understand that the surveys and esti>

and that they will not be completed until the
latter end of next week; so that it is not
deemed advisable to have any public meet
to night, as We stated in previous number.
On Friday and Saturday evening of next
week the Office of the company will be open,
when it is believed maps. estimates, &c. will
be ready for exhibition.

The Railroad H,rotect.

Whatever may be thought Of the vitality Of
Ottawa in reference to the important project
of a railroad from the Ve-milion coal beds
up the Fox ri-er valley. there is no doubt but
the people north of us are all alive and
awake about it. A committee from Oswego
was here during the past week, and gave the
committee here such assurances as left no
doubt upon their minds but that the project
will be made to work.
Meetings have been held at Oswcgo, York
vile, Newark, Aurora, &c, and voluntary
subscriptions in abundance proffered at all of
them, not only to pay for preliminary surveys,
but to procure right Of way, &c. The whole
country north of us feel as if their future
prosperity depended on a cheap supply of
fuel, anG the Vermlion coal beds are just TIE
ones II must come from. An important
meeting of the committees from Ottawa,
Newark, Oswego, Aurora, dc, is to take
place at the fremont House IN Chicago on
Wednesday of next week, when, doubtless,
steps will be taken to have q survey made of
TIE proposed railroad, and possibly to organ.
lZc 4 lOE It's COhSlEuCAIcU
We give, as german to the subject, the fol-
lowing letter from an influential citizen of
De Kalb county, to member of the Ottawa
committee. TnC name of Mr.. Madden is not
unknown to many of our citizens.
MALTA, De kALB COUNTY Ill,
April IL, 1866.
DEAR SIR In the Chicago Times of the
9th inst, | saw your name as one of a mum =
Der that had met at Ottawa to consult on the
project of connecting the NermiliOn coal fields
BY railroad with Ottawa, Aurora, and other
points. This: with us north of you, is the
great question of the day. Tie country north
of Vermilion to BelvIdere is, with trihing
exception, vas: Prairie the inhabitants that
have settled it ar and must ever be depend,
ant on coal for their fuel.
We think that a railroad from the Vermil-
ion coal fields, crossing and connecting with
the Rock Island railroad, the Burlington 4
Quincy, Dixon Air Line, and Chicago &
Galena at Belvidere, and railroad running
north into Wisconsin pineries, is the route
that would benefit more territory than any
other, and also pay the best.
The Wisconsin lumber is essential to tie
settlers On this prairie, and the connection
that we suggest would give them that supply
cheaper than it could be delivered in Chicago.
This road, if ever constructed, should pass
up the Vernilion Valley, giving the road the
benefit Of all the coal in that region, and at
Pontiac connect with the Alton & St Louis
road.
Those various connections would give the
road a strength and. character that few new
roads can control, and we think wonld do a
paving business from the time of its opening.
The roads with which it would connect, il
seems to me, would be interested in having
the stocks taken and take some themselves
On connecting with these various roads the
coal and lumber would pass East and West,
and the Burlington & Quincy connection
would connect you with Aurora and the Fox
river towns, as suggested at your meeting.
Yours, &c,
II. MADDEN.
