the old State bank system and its fruits were,
and of what the national bank system and It's
fruits are--it is easy to see aOhy nobody pro-
poses to 20 back to the State bank system.
Shall we, then, in the second place, abolish
all banks Of issue, and have only gold and
silver, or paper money issued directly by the
Government The bullion theory we need
not discuss, because nobody advocates it. 1t
is evidently impractcable. No civilized nation
gets along without some sort of paper money
probably never will. We are thus left
to the alternative of a paper currency
issued directly by the Government, or to
one issued substantially as under our present
national banking system. We have not
sufficient room in this article for the discussion
of this very important and interesting ques-
ton. We shall have subserved our main
design if we have succeeded in calling the at
tention of our readers to the true issue involved
We have shown that it is morally impossible
to go back to the old State bank system, and
that it is equally impossible to have a pure
bullion currency. We must, then, either main
tain our present system, with such notifications
as experience may show to be necessary, or we
must invest the General Government with the
sole and entire control and management of all
the currency of the country. This latter
alternative raises all the questions which were
so profoundly discussed during the existence
of the United States Bank, and which
were, at that time at least, authoritatvely
settled, and by so unanimous public
judgment that they have never been revived
until now. Perhaps that verdict may now
be reversed. Perhaps the people are prepared
to put into the hands of the Government a
power over the private interests of every citi-
zen more vast and varied than any it has ever
hitherto welded. At least, it is well that the
issue should be distinctly stated and under
stood.

The Two Routes to the Pacific.


IT is essential to a correct knowledge of the
condition of the Union Pacific Railroad as an
investment, that our readers should have a
distinct idea of the difference between the two
routes, the merits of which are very different.
One, the Union Pacific Railroad proper, has
progressed with great rapidity and, under a
most able and energetic management has
already got over five hundred miles of its road
laid. OF this road John J. Cisco is treasurer.
The other is the Union Pacific Railroad, East
ern DiUtSion, or Kansas Branch, and is very
different affair. 1t is under the agency of Fisk
& Hatch. Of its road not three hundred miles
are yet constructed. 1t is against it that
Messrs. Ross and others have applied for an
attachment, because of the alleged illegalty of
certain of its directors transactions. This
branch is in no way connected, either in loca-
tion or management, with the Union Pacific
Railroad, so that its difficulties cannot in any
way affect the company of which Mr.. Cisco is
treasurer. We would impress our readers
the difference, as the great advantage of an
investment in the Union Pacific might be
placed in q false light by the misfOrtunes of its
namesake.

The election Of Convention is the starting
point towards organizing State government,
and getting back into the Union. But the
Rebels are determined TO have all or nothing.
Rather than have all the people take part in
the Government, they prefer to stay under
military domination.
Nor is the line distinctly drawn between
the races, as the conservatives are so desirous
of representing. The official returns of the
vote show that Ia, 825 white citizens nearly
twenty per cent. of the whole number-voted
for a Convention. This is the nucleus Of
great and powerful party in Virginia. Its
numbers would have been vastly larger had 1t
not been for the social ostracism and persecution
visited upon every white man who would not
submit to the diotation of the old Olgarchy,
and who had independence enough to vote
Republican ticket.
The Convention will be held in Virginia.
The radicals have a decided majority in it,
and we confidently expect that they will use
their power moderately and wisely. Had the
conservatives the same power, they would dis
franchise every cOlOred citizen without hesita-
ton or remorse. We don't expect similar
exhibition from the radicals. We do not desire
them to follow the infamous example of Mary
land in the Constitution she has just adopted
by the votes of her conservatives. We expect
to see free and liberal Constitution adopted
by the Virginia Convention, one which will
put the conservatives to shame and will tell
upon the public sentiment of the country in
favor of the Congressional plan of reconstruc-
tion. The Pennsylvania Constitution, barring
its disfranchising features, is good model, as
indeed, with similar exceptions, is almost any
of the old Constitutions of the Rebel States.
AS to a 'war of races" that is all moon
shine. The old Rebel element is doing its best
to bring one on, but it can't succeed as long
as General Schofeld is in command. The cry
is raised by such papers as the Herald merely
to affect the November elections. After they
are over we shall hear no more of it.

The Italian and French ImbrOglio.

The Italian and French ImbrOgliO.
AFFAIRS in and about Rome grow more COM
plicated. 1t seems to be conceded, at last, that
the French troops who lately landed at
Civita Vecchia have occupied Rome unop.
posed. Garibaldi still remains with large
force at Monte Rotondo, where he has in
trenched, and watches the situation. But the
most important news is that the occupation
of Rome by the French troops has been fol-
lowed by the calling out of the Italian Reserve,
the Italian Prime Minister advising their ad-
vance into the Papal territory both as de-
manded by the dignity of the Government
and by the violation of the September Conven-
tion on the part of the French 1t is added
that Prussia has pledged herself to support
Italy, and, for the first time, the depression in
monetary circles gives evidence that the peace
of Europe is imperilled. Napoleon has pro-
posed to submit the Roman question to vote
of the people of the Papal States; but this
the Italian Government declines, as the inte-
rests of the whole of Italy are involved.
Evidently, the Italian Government is not
willing to see French army once more take
up position of permanenoe in Rome. 1t has
JaDOIed 10 preserve Lue temporal power Vi Jue
Pope in accordance with the September Con-
vention, but it is not willing that France
should assume a position which gives her
foothold upon Italian soil, from which she may
operate at an advantage against Italy in the
struggle for Rome which sooner or later must
come. 1t charges that the entry of the French
into Rome is itself a violation of the September
Convention.
The vital point in the whole affair is the atti-
tude of Prussia. Italy alone is in no condition
to cope with France, but with Prussia as an
ally the case is altogether different. If Italy
shall at once assume high ground, and shall
insist upon the withdrawal of the French troops
from Rome, we may be pretty sure that the
Governments of Italy and Prussia are in
thorough accord, and that the long -looked-fOr
struggle between France and Prussia is about
to commence. The French Emperor is not
upmindful of the situation, and his intimacy
with the Emperor of Austria shows that be is
desirous of assistance from that quarter.
This Roman affair may prove the occasion for
the commencement of that great contest which,
ever since the Prussian triumphs of last year,
has appeared inevitable. Should that mighty
struggle really begin, the fate of Rome would
be one of the smallest questions involved.

Voting i'm virginia,

THE old fable of the wolf who charged the
lamb with fouling the stream, when the lamb
was drinking at the river below him, is Illus
trated in the bitter and veDgeful curses which
the Virginia Rebels and their Northern allies
are heapipg upon the blacks of that State for
refusing at the late election to vote the con-
servative ticket. Because the colOred citizens
of Virginia would not vote to disfranchise
themselves; because they would not support
the very men who have ground them beneath
their heels all their lives, and would gladly
do it to-day if they had the power; because
they would not go for a party which, not only
in Virginia but all over the country, seeks to
ostraoze and persecute and degrade them,
which treats them not as men, but as beasts;
because, in word, they chose to
vote for a convention, and for their
friends and not their enemies as members
of it, fOrsooth they have inaugurated "War
of races" and have done divers and sundry
other terrible things, for the particulars OF
which consult the New York Herald, or any
other conservative" organ. Now this is all
arrant nonsense. The colored citizens of Vir-
ginia voted to hold a Convention for the
framing OF Constitution and State govern
ment, ana In this they showed more sense
than did their opponents, who voted, in effect,
TO remain under military government which
they and their party are never weary Of
