How MANY STATEs?-The question has
of late been repeatedly put to US to know
the number Of States in the Union. We
thought we had an opportunity of having
the matter tested on the 9Th, and decided
by authoritative declaration. The Gene
raj Assembly voted the firing of national
salute in honor Of the day-one gun for
each State-and we counted with eager
ness the reports as the artillery Numbered
from Arsenal Hill. At the close our score
showed thirty-seven. The southern States
had evidently been recognized, but so also,
thought we, had the Acknowledgement OF
Virginia. We sought the gentleman who
designated the number of rounds to be
fired. "Did you intend to recognize West
Virginia in the salute?" we inquired,
"Not bit of it," said he, placing his fore
finger to the side of his nose, and cycling
US askance. "There are only thirty-six
bona fde States, but then we could not
help giving two rounds for the glorious
State of Virginia God bless her!"-

The Southern Observation-Disclosures
ness TO the Government.

II appears from official data that the
financial condition Of the southern rail-
road companies during the winters of 1865
and 1866, owing to the desolation and i'm
poverished condition of the country
through which they pass, did not warrant
rigid enforcement of the terms Of purchase
on the part of the Government. Colonel
Hamill, of the United States Military
Railroad Department, says:
The material sold under Executive or
ders to the companies had been appraised
at rates far more remunerative to the 60
Ye.nment than could have been obtained
by sale OF it at public auction. The Exc
cntive having directed the return OF the
railroads to the corporations owning them
previous to the war, the absolute necessity
Of the sale of the material essential to their
operations in possession Of the Govern
ment, upon credit, was obvious. The in
debtedness of southern railroads on &C.
count of all purchases under Executive
orders amounted to $6,602,000. The
amount collected in transportation and
lost is s2,4ll 900. A partial statement is
made of the losses sustained by the south
western railroads during the late rebellion,
which amount to more than $2S, 100000.
In this total is included the sum OF Sl5,-
10000 Of Confederate money and securl-
ties" Colonel Hamill says: "In the man
agement of the collection no effort has been
spared TO throw around the debt every Sc,
curity, and to overthrow every element OF
Opposition to its payment" ~"

CHICAGO, January ia fire broke out

damaging three adjoining buildings. No.
1877 was owned by Samuel Thomas, of
Kentucky, and valued at s45, 900. 1t was
occupied by Starrett & Beatty, heavy
hardware and agricultural implements.
The loss will probably reach $780, 900. NO.
1876 was occupied by Leavy & Co., tinware
and stove establishment. Loss estimated
at 100000. The building was damaged to
the extent of $4,000. No. 1919, occupied
by Whitemarsh s. Co., leather betting.
Loss, $4,000. Other losses are compare

THE ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP OF CALL
FoRNIA.-A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says: "Count California in your
next estimates as the first loheat- groeoing
State in the Union. The California wheat
crop of 1867 did not fall much short of
10000, 900 bushels, if, indeed, it did not
exceed that amount, and, as it realized
fully $3.50 in gold per bushel, it follows
that we are to-day s50,OOOOOO better
off for it. Add to that the value Of
four million gallons of wine and brandy,
and an almost incalculable fruit crop, and
you have some idea Of the money realized
by the farmers of California this year."

Sentiment of the Republican Press

| Sentiment Of the Republican Press.
Many of the Republican newspapers of
the North, SO far as heard from, continue
to deprecate the course which Congress
has taken within the last few days:
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Congress is deliberately at work de-
stroying the executive and judicial arms
of the Government The executive au-
thority was wiped out by the last Congress.
The present Congress strikes at the judi
ciary. When the bill to strangle the Su-
preme Court, which was rushed through
the House, passes in the Senate, it will
encounter veto, and then, by two
thirds vote, be passed over the head of the
President.
From The Providence II. ~ Journal
We have had quite enough of this kind
of legislation already in the quarrel be-
tween Congress and the President, and
we shall regret exceedingly to see it re-
peated in any possible collision between
Congress and the Supreme Court. Let
nothing, We say, be attempted in Congress,
in relation to the Supreme Court, that
shall in the least degree bear the character
of hasty or passionate legislation.
| The President is just as much the Pre-
sident as Congress is Congress, or the SUI
preme Court is the Supreme Court. =
: By virtue of his office the President is
made command chief Of the army
and navy of the United States"; in that
capacity he is the head of the military arm
of the executive, as he is already in his
capacity as President head Of the civil
arm. All military officers as we'll as all
civil officers engaged in the execution of
the laws are subordinate to him he ap-
points them, commissions them, and gives
them orders; and it would be mutiny in
any subordinate to refuse obedience to
his orders once clearly promulgated.
Has Congress the power given it any
where to change this fundamental DISPOSE
tion of things Can it by mere enactment
divest the President Of the powers vested
in him, make another man commander-ln-
chief, and order him to execute the laws
at his own discretion, or subject only to
| the supervision and control of Congress
| If so, what becomes of the constitutional
limitations What meaning is there in the
positive, specific, unmistakable clauses
vesting the several powers Of the Govern
ment? Or is Congress, in spite Of this
language, an omnipotent parliament, in
reality like that Of Great Britain, repre-
senting alone the nation, and entitled to
override all other powers when its convic-
tions of the public interests shall so re-
quire If that be the truth, let Us know it
at once, and pride ourselves no longer on
the superiority Of our political system to the
abSoutisms of Europe, which have wrought
so much mischief.
