A number of our leading merchants and bankers
are moving in the matter Of establishing central
Merchants Exchange and News Room. in which the
latest market quotations by telegraph and telc-
graphic news affecting the markets will always be
accessible to subscribers. An enterprise OF this ma
ture is made necessary by the failure of any existing
News Room to furnish its patrons with trustworthy
intelligence, or in any other respect to correspond
with the requirements of the mercantile community.
A bnldng for the nse of the new Exchange had al
ready been rented, but since it was engaged the
managers have enlarged their plan of operations,
and are now looking for more extensive quarters.
We trust that they viii make their establishment
credit to the city.

1t is expected that the Legislature will be
called upon to act to-day upon the dangerous
condition or the New-York apd Harlem Rail-
road in FouIth-aye., between Seventy ninth
and Ninety-seventh-st There can be no ques-
ton as to the urgent need of action In this
case the only pretense which the railroad cor
poration can make in the premises is that, hav-
ing paid price for possession Of the roadway,
the Legislature has no power to compel its
managers to do anything more than they
have DONE To this, the general railroad law,
which requires every railroad corporation using
streets or highways wherein to construct
its track to restore such streets or
highways TO as safe and passable q
condition as they were in before the
construction of the track, is a sufficient rejon-
der, to which the yearly slaughter of men and
women, in consequence of the condition of this
cut. gives special point.
Whether the track should be entirely arched
over, as is demanded by many of the property
owners of the vicinity, or each side of the cut
securely walled up, may admit of discussion.
If the latter precaution had been taken by the
Company when its track was laid, as q decent
regard for either law or public safety would have
dictated, ii is probable that the extra expense
Of arching over the entire cut would not now
be demanded. AT the same time, a dressed
wall upon each side, rising TO hight of not
less than four feet above the roadway, with
substantial bridges OF every cross street, might

Surely the Senate will not Confirm the nOmi-
nari92 Of Gen. SteeGdkpap as Collector of In
ternal Revenue at New-0rleans To him more
than to any other man we owe the attempt to
break down the Freedmep's Bureau; he was
chosen by Mr.. johnson to supply him with
all the facts that could be raked up or
invented to shake public confidence
in the Bureau, and he did his work well.
This report, as Gen. Howard proved to the
satisfaction of Congress and the country, was
a Misrepresentation from beginning to end,
and apparently written at the dictatiOn of the
President These are well-knOwn facts, and
though Gen. Steedman's nomination is said to
have received the approval of tho Finance
Committee (as a weak concession to the
appeal Of Mr.. Sherman, who happens
to be a personal friend Of Steedman),
we are confident the Senate will reject it.
They cannot confirm Gen. Steedman without
becoming responsible for all the misrepresenta-
ton and mischief he did in his tour Of inquisi-
ton.

Congress seems unwilling to leave tho Presi-
dent alone in Washington during the Summer
A concurrent resolution providing that Congress
shall adjourn on the 2Sth, to reassemble in
May June, September, and November, unless
the presiding officers. shall by joint prOclama-
ton postpone its meeting, was adopted by the
House yesterday by vote of -88 to 81. This
resolution, which the Senate will probably
pass, is due to the suggestion Of Gen. Grant,
who, as our Washington dispatches say, has
informed leading members Of Congress that he
expects trouble in enforcing the Reconstruction

The House yesterday gave itself up to debate
the luxury of clothes. Clothes, the world over,

among the principal virtues of some of our
legations. Consequently, the debate on the
motion to prohibit diplomatists from wear

gress was profound one-a parliamentary

At all events, if an engagement has taken
place, it was not general one. 1t seems
to be certain that Maximilians position has
not improved. His men are said to desert by

The minority report to the Legislature on
the proposed amendments. to the Excise law
is what every friend of law and order would
have it. 1t shapes the earnest protest of tenn

of a law which has never been too stringent,
and which here in the city has done wonders
for the public virtue and the public pocket.

A Richmond Man I'm Luck" Two
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dol
lars Waiting an Owner '-The Heir
Found i'm Chicago.
A brief paragraph has lately run the
rounds of the press, stating IN enect that
fortune Of $250,O0O was awaiting Ut. fat,
terson, or his heirs, Of Mobile. The full
history of the case, the discovery OF the
heir in Chicago, and the previous expe.
rience Of that person, afford material for q
first class romance without need Of embel-
lishment. We propose to give merely the
outlines Of the story, which is not less true
than strange:
In 1868 rich widow came to this city
from Mobile, and stopped and remained
for some time at one Of our principal hotels.
She was the daughter of DR.. B. I. Patter-
son, Of Mobile, who was once judge, and
subsequently became surgeon in the rebel
service. Not sympathizing with the rebel
lion, she came within the Union lines, and
having converted most Of her property into
money, was possessed of 100000 in cash,
besides some lands, upon her arrival in
Chicago. Ofcourse widow, young, hand
some, and SO rich, was the recipient OF
many fattering attentions while here,
With her child, little girl, as her only
companion, she led, however, very Sc.
Guided life, waiting for the termination OF
the war.
When hostilities were over she went to
Mobile, found that her father was missing,
and no doubt dead, while his estates were
almost entirely wasted by the disasters OF
war and by litigation. Residing for a
short time at Washington, she became &C
quainted with and presently married MIR.
D, son Of well-known rebel gun
maker at Richmond. They were led to try
to increase their fortune in the oil regions,
and removed to that vicinity. Mr.. DIS
Investments in the land and in sinking
wells were large, but were altogether un-
successful. The result was that in very
few months they were quite impoverished,
and the husband went 70 the frontier 70 try

LETTER FROM Az OLD TELEGRAPH OPE'
sITos.-The Cincinnati Commercial pub
fishes the following letter. The fact to
which IL calls attention is curious:
CASA matter of interest to your read
ers who notice weather reports from the
west. I will state that in my experience as
a telegraph operator for the past eighteen
wears I have noticed that nine out OF
every ten changes in the weather come
from the west. | first noticed this while
in Baltimore. Oyster dealers in Cincin-
natl advised their correspondents in Balti.
more of any change in the weather at Gin
cinnati. Eighteen hours afterward we
would experience the same change at Bal
timore. During three years service in the
Baltimore telegraph Office / noticed that
but one storm came in any other direction
than from the west, and that was the day
after the great battle Of Mcclellan before
Richmond. The greatest and fiercest storm
of wind and rain l ever experienced came
direct from the south; and upon the ny
pothesis, about that time going the rounds
of the press, that great storm followed a
great battle, I concluded that Mcclellan
and Lees artillery had something to do IN
sending us that storm.
"Since coming to Cincinnati have no.
ticed that all changes in the weather are
first felt at St. Louis. Twelve hours al
terward we experience the same change
here"

wealth in such terms and manner as may
seem to him most appropriate.
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.
The Senate bill to regulate the charges
of telegraph companies operating through
or within the limits Of the State came up,
with o substitute reported by the CON-
mittee.
The bill and substitute were opposed by
Messrs. KELLEY and BALDWIN (; and sus-
tanned by Mr.. LEONARD after which both
bill and substitute were rejected by the
House. In the course of Mr.. BALDwIN's
speech he affirmed that the telegraph was
losing business in the South, and nothing
but the hope of the increase of business
could justify the maintenance Of the line.
In Virginia, the loss last year was S45, 900,
in addition to $4,000 expended in con-
struction.
BILLS PASSED.
The following Senate bills were read q
third time and passed:
An act to incorporate the Danville Ca
nal and Manufacturing Company
An act to amend section l, chapter 10
of the Code, and to repeal sections z, ), 4,
5, 6, and I Of said chapter, in relation 10
aliens;
An act to authorize the employment of
an engineer to attend the heating appara-
tus in the capitol, and to prescribe his
duties and compensation
An act to incorporate the Abingdon and
Rich Valley Turnpike, in Washington
county;
An act to incorporate the Abingdon and
Denton's Valley Turnpike Company, in
Washington county;
An act to repeal an act passed March 3,
1858, to incorporate the town OF Jackson
Vile.
CONVICTION AND OHIO RAILROAD.
The bill to incorporate the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad for the purpose of conf
p!eting the Covington and Ohio railroad
came up as the order Of the day.
Mr.. DAVIS declined to offer the substi-
tnte presented by him yesterday. He
hoped q bill might be drawn that would
meet the views and wishes of all inte-
rested.
Mr.. LEE moved the postponement of the
bill until Monday; which motion was
agreed to.
CUMBERLAND GAP RAILROAD.
The bill TO provide for a line Of railway
from the sesboard to the Mississippi and
Ohio, by facilitstiDgthe construction Of the
Virginia and Kentucky railway, came up
