mount authority of the United States, no one can
doubt that should it become obstacle instead OF
m instrument, it would beimnediately and uncere-
moniously destroyed or altered. The Provisional
Government to-day represents the white people of
the State including those disfranchised under the
Constitutional Amendment. The Convention will
represent the colored vote Of the State, excluding
those disfranchscd and if it is considered adyisa-
BILE by the United States Government to bring this
extension of the suffrage into immediate operation,
it is idle to suppose that the Provisional Govern
ment, the machinery, will be allowed to defeat the
very purpose for which it was created:
Independent of this view, it is q grave question
how fur the President as the chief military author
ity Of the country, would be empowered, If the Pro-
visonal Government failed to act to initiate him.
sell the expression of the popular will. And it Is
very clear that the notion of the President, or of
the Provisional Government of any one OF the
States, would seriously influence the action OF the
others. It would appear therefore, that whle
the Provisional Government of the State can, IT 1t
deems proper, act, it cannot prevent action. The
question which is thus presented to the State ls
one of such momento: Importance that it de-
serves the most careful and conscientious consider
alton, for it involves cur whole future. It is ques-
ton not to be lightly or passonate answered, not
to be decided on tho impulse OF sentiment, or at
the suggestions of selfshness, but to be met as
the graYest issue that has ever been submitted to
q people who are brave and have been free, and
who will not forget that before now in the history OF
tho world, the time has been when the truest and
the most unselfish courage has been shown In
meeting fairly and patiently tie consequences OF
failure We shall not hesitate to indicate what in
our opinion, is the proper course of acton but as
the President has vetoed this Act, and it has be-
come law in the face Of his protest, we shall wait
for few days until we ascertain how he construes
the powers with which it invests him, and how he
proposes to discharge the duties which, as law Of
the land, it now imposes. We think it would be
premature to come to any decision until this is

COMMERCE. OF THE PORT.

The foreign and domestic exports during the
month of February show an improvement over
those Of the first month of the current year. and
although there has been downward tendency III
the price of cotton, yet buyers have been checked
in some measure from extensive operations, in
consequence of the extreme stringency Of the
money market.
sNearly 23 900 bales Of cotton have been shipped
during the past month"; Of which 13, ,494 bales have
been exported to foreign, and 9429 bales to domes-
tic ports.
From the 1st September, 1866, to the 18th Febru-
ary. 1867, inclusive, the total exports Of cotton
reach 100, ,641 bales, a much larger quantity than
was contemplated would reach our market in the
first six months Of the commercial year, and which
foreshadows an excess beyond the most liberal
estimates for the whole year.
The import trade has also been characterized
by m Improvement. Several cargoes of merchan-
disc from England, France and Cuba, have arrived,
and the total value Of imports amounts to s151 662
The bulk of these imports have been warehoused,
in consequence Of the scarcity of gold for the pay
ment Of duties. .a-,e.-
The stocks of our wholesale merchants and
lobDer6 are 1uli. varied, duu "en assofIeu, III Oh
hnes.of goods; and tile country trade can procure
merchandise directly imported from abroad, or Of
domestic manufacture, on reasonable terms. z..a

Mr.. Lowell, in his charming poem of
"Sir Launfa1l," tells of an organist
who "built a bridge from dream land
for his lay" and Tom Hood construct
ed the Bridge Of Sighs," but neither of
these poets, nor, so far as we are aware,
has any of human kind produced so
stupendous II conception as writer in
a recent number OF the Circular. This
writer proposes a railroad to Europe.
His route is not by way of Banring's
Straits, but straight across the Atlantic
Ocean. His plan is so ingenious that
1t is but just that description OF it
should be given in his own words-to
wit:
"a railroad from America to Europe
across the Atlantic Ocean How can it
be made? Answer-By removing the
unnecessary rocks and mountains of
the continents TO surveyed, definite
locality. The combined navias OF the
world, or, at least, such as would other
wise be employed as belligerants, could
convey materials for the road To the
proper destination. need
not be asked foI the full details of the
plan, for those belong TO the engineer,
who, in his time, finds way to accom-
plish seeming impossibilities. He will
show vcu the cubic yards of solid rock
necessary to form his track foundation.
Suppose il be, when completed one
mile in width at the surface of the
water, and drawn into half Il mile in
width at two hundred feet high.
Sufficiently numerous openings should
be left to be spanned by suspension
bridges, TO allow the North and South
commerce of the ocean to 90 on unob-
