TIE EFFECT OF Ir.-The Journal Of Com
merce is dwelling upon the paralyzing inau-
ences of the schemes of reconstruction now
agtated in Congress, as already felt through
out the South, and which, eventually, must
react upon Northern industry. A single
fact shows how powerful is the influence thus
exerted in discouraging the investment of
capital in that part Of the country:
We are reliably informed that today sew
cral Englshmen who visited this country
with the full expectation Of purchasing cot
ton lands to the extent Of E2,0O0,O00 have
abandoned their purpose, in view of the un.
certainties of the future, since the designs OF
certain radical politicians have become more
fully disclosed Planters are ready to make
favorable terms for the sale of real estate,
but at present find few who are willing to
buy. They are apparently doomed to still
more hopeless poverty, and there is general
gloom and encouragement in that section
among all classes of people.

The Late Locomotive Boiler Ex-
DlOsiOn.

ALBANY, Feb. 25.-At quarter after eight
this morning the Central railroad locomotive
No. 229, while standing on the track below
Broadway crossing, exploded her boiler with
terrific effect The locomotive was torn to
pieces and fragments went through buildings
three blocks distant. About one-thrd of the
boiler passed through the roof of John Ira
cey's distillery, on Colonie street All the
surrounding buildings on Broadway are more
or less injured the Third district station
house being most injured No person was
killed. but the following were injured: Henry
Ford, engineer, nose broken, and otherwise
injured he will probably recover Michael
Quinn, fireman, arm broken, scalded, and
badly cut about the head, but not fatally in
jured. Conrad Julius, foreman of tin shop
at West Albany, was injured, but not so
badly. Capt. Carroll, and Officers Kreachcr
White, and Bulger, Of the police force, were
slightly hurt. Alexander Carvin, scaldcd
and cut about the head, not dangerously.
The locomotive was one of the largest on the
road, and was damaged to the extent Of Sl0,-
900. The cause of the explosion is supposed
TO be insufficiency of water in the boiler.

The CANADIAN CoNFEDERATIoN.-The To-
ronto Globe gives an abstract Of the bill now
before the English Parliament for the con-
federation of Canada. Besides changing the
name of Upper Canada to Ontario, and
Lower Canada to Quebec this bill calls the
entire country Canada. 1t grants 50, ,795 ,45O

being given to Upper Canada. The Govern
ment is to control the fisheries and the peni-
tentaries, and the Upper House of the Cana
dian Parliament will consist of 70 members,
"a each to be given to Upper and Lower
Canada, and IL each to Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick. In the Lower House the
lsl members are to be divided 80 to Upper
Canada, 65 to Lower Canada, 20 to Nova
Scotia, and 10 to New Brunswick. This di-
vision will continue until 1871, when new

The vivacious and versatile ADA WEBB would

with a Butcher Knife.

2G.-The wife of DR.. L. w. Correll, in the
absence of her husband, was brutally muir
dered by the servant girl, on last evening,
Feb. %. 1t seems that the girl and the
wife of the Doctor had some dispute, and she
was discharged and was to leave on the 9th.
The murder was committed with butcher
knife, and it seems that they had great
struggle. Mrs. Correll was cut in twenty
different places, one Of the cuts severing the

THE JENCKES SO-CALLED IRE
FORM OF THE CIVIL SER
VICE.

The JENcKEs bill now, we believe, before
The President, takes from THE President
the power Of removal from office, which has
existed ever since the Government begun,
and which was recognized by the founders Of
the Republic as an inherent and essential
prerogatiye Of the Executive Administra-
ton. 1t has even been made more absurd
and pernicious by the House amendment
including the members of the Cabinet within
its provision. With this monstrous provision
the bill has passed the Senate, and is now
under consideration by THE PRESIDENT, whose
hands are intended to be tied by its provis-
ions, for his approval or rejection.
II we could feel assured that personal and
partisan considerations would not create a
desire to battle his enemies by their own
game, we should have no doubt that The
Presidents regard to the just dignity and
constitutional prerogatives of his Office would
secure firm and sound-principled veto of
the bill as an infraction of the rational and
essential principles of republican govern
ment. Or, if the idea should even be enter
tanned of catching Congress in their own
trap along with himself, moments consd-
Grafton will show of how little avail it would
be, for it remains in the power Of Congress
to repeal the act as soon as they get Presi-
dent they like.
IfTHE President has that reverence for
the Constitution which he processes, and that
firm resolve not to be himself the instru
ment of subverting its wise balance o
powers, he will take the occasion to put
forth firm and dignifed defence of the
constitutional prerogative OF his high office
as conferred by the comprehe nsive language
of the Constitution-article H., section l
clause l: "The executive power shall bC
vested in a President of the United States o
America"
We look upon this bill as being only one
. of several schemes which this Congress has
tried, for evading its own just responsibility,
bya paltry expedient, instead of a manly
exercise Of its constitutional powers. The
failure Of so many Of these evasive projects
to accomplish the objects at which they
aimed has begun to open the eyes of Con
gressmen, and convince them that the onl!
way out Of their difficulties is by direct as
sumption Of their own proper responsible
ties, and holding The President to stric
accountability. We hope this sober secont
thought will influence so many among then
as to prevent a two-thirdS majority from
passing so unwise a measure when it is re
turned to them with veto.-N. y. EuentR.

Parliamentary Noise.

The New York Tribune, Of yesterday,
speaks to the Speaker as follows:
The Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives is reported as saying, on Saturday, that
sin the British House Of Commons there is
generally much more noise and confusion
than in this House" We cannot imagine
how the Speaker got his information; and
lest the House should take comfort in its dis
order from this unhappy remark, we beg to in
form both the head and the heels Of that body
which are quite too often to be seen on the
same level, that the House Of Commons is
usually quiet and orderly assemblage, where
every speaker is easily heard, unless the
House is determined not to hear him, which
really occurs but seldom; and where nothing
whatever is permitted to 60 on at any time,
except the business before the House.
Not q document not q newspaper, not
pens or paper, not anything whatever, is per.
mitted in the hands Of any member, except.
ing only the printed order Of business for the
day. Conversation being likewise prohibited
as well as the peanut and apple trade, it fol
lows that no public legislative assembly is oil
can be more quiet and decorous in their de
meanor than the House Of Commons. As O
matter Of sober fact, though it seems pity
to despoil the poetry Of the amiable Speaker
our House Of Representatives is den o
bowling Dervishes beside it.

The prevailing commercial De-
precision.
The following statements regarding the
present commercial depression are from the
New York Financial Chronicle, q journal
which the London Economist praises as "a
most admirable financial journal, which per-
sons interested in American finance should
heedfully study"
Complaints are universal Of the stagnation
and the unpro6tableness Of business. A
spring season so depressed and generally un-
satisfactory as the present is hardly within
the memory Of our city merchants. The
trade Of the interior Is generally reported
dull and unpromising. Although the South
has realized upon large portion OF its cot
ton crop, II is found devoid Of trading spirit,
and even unable to liquidate much OF its in
debtedness on account Of last years pur.
chases
In the Western States, merchants COM
plain of unusual difficulty in making their
collections, and have on hand q heavy bal
ance Of stock; the result being that their OBJ.
legations to the Atlantic cities, in many
cases, have to be renewed for thirty to sixty
days. The New England cotton mills find
the demand for goods so limited, compared
with their production, that at the beginning
Of this month some Of the manufacturers
made still further curtailment Of their time
Of running.
The woollen trade, now one Of our most
extensive industries, although it recently
diininishedits aggregate production probably
quite 20 per cent, finds little relief from the
reduced supply Of goods, and manufacturers
have to sell a large amount Of their products
