The London Dddy .Neps, commenting
on President Johnson's message says, This
persistent opposition to the will of the nation
is the cause of the failure Of his sdministra-
tion. We think there is no hope OF the res
toration OF peace until the accession OF
Grant"
The Herald says the message strongly
commends itself to everybody Interested in
American affairs, as the warning protest and
testament of a statesman politically dying

cooperative with the Chesapeake and ONO
railroad, and secure to that great route
some material aid.

Mayor CHAHooN yesterday caused .h'
resrrest Of SALLY ANDERSON, who was o's-
charged on Saturday by Judge UNDERWOOD.
The Republican sheet of this city intimates
that This rearrest was for the purpose OF
having SALLY tried by a illegal tribunal"
There we're rumors of another nature. One,
that the rcarrcst was ordered by the mill
tary authority, and not to try the convict
again. We cannot we'll SEQ how the mill
tary authority of this district can yield to
USpERwooD's decision. The Virginia
Judges are in Office with the appreciation
and under the authority of the military
governor Of the district Of Virginia, and
we cannot see how this bold assumption by
UNDERWOOD that they are illegal can be
tolerated by the General commanding. 10
proceed to try ouer again persons discharged
by UNDERWOOD would be to give up the
whole question and this would necessitate
q turning out of judges and filling their
places with sef-styled Union men. inns Is
exactly what UNDERWOOD and his confede-
rates are working to accomplish by the
habeas corpus cases which have been
brought before him.

MetrOpolitan Railroads.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
states that the Senate Committee on Rail
roads has determined to report favorably
upon the proposition to charter a company
to build railroad between Washington and
Cincinnati. This is the scheme gotten up
in Washington which looks to Government
aid. Its movers contemplated connection
with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at
Staunton or some other western point.
The Sun correspondent says the "suc-
'cess of this project, as well as other
" schemes under the direction Of Congress,
sis doubted, as it will require strong argu-
"ment to convince many of the senator's
"that they have authority to build rail
"roads in the States" Why, where has
this correspondent been for twenty years
past? What has Congress done in that
time but make the most lavish appropria-
lions for the building of railroads in the
States 1t is easier to convince the .fe,o
that Congress has the power to build rail-
roads under the clause Of the Constitution
regulating commerce between the States
than to convince the "naany" that Con-
gress has no such power. There can be but
one difficulty in the way of getting aid
from Congress to build railroads, and that
will probably be that the number Of such
applications will be 30 great as to block up
the way to the Treasury. In that way all
may be defeated. But, at least, the Consti-
tuition will not be permitted to stand in the
way Of any scheme the present Congress
may desire to carry out.
TT this Washington and Cincinnati road
succeeds it will possibly be to some extent

citation Of gold and the effects of the war.
There is scarcely a real estate owner, for ex-
ample, whose property has not doubled since
the war commenced. In many cases il has
been appreciated more than that. In fact the
Northern capitalists and property holders have
become much richer from the war, while the
mass of the people have become poorer and
more heavily burdened. Had they suffered
as the property holders OF the S)uth have,
their demands would be less unreasonable; bat
they have been made rich, and ought to be
satisfied, without wishing 70 increase their
bondholding wealth thirty per cent. at the
expense of the overburdened Industrious
classes.
AS to the fine nourishes about national
honor and integrity, such as Mr.. Reverdy
Johnson, the British press, and the bond
holders organs here indulge iu, they are all
bOsh. No great modern nation, except the
United States, has ever paid its debt in specie.
Hardly any have paid it at all. Even England,
with all her pretepse of honesty, reduced the
interest on her debt from FIVE and six per cent.
to three and three and half She never can
hope to pay the principal and whenever the
British Government has any surplus funds to
apply to the liquidation of the national debt
it does not feel bound to pay hundred for
stocks nominally issued at a hundred. The
National Debt Commissioners buy at the lowest
rate they can, and give only from 80 to 80 for
honest Why, then, should the heavily bur-
dened people of this country be required to
pay the full face of the bonds in gold Why
should there be deprecated national bank
notes for the people and specie for the bond
holders Justice and common sense call for
the came currency-one measure-for both.
But this agitation of the bondholders, and
their powerful allies (the national banks) for
gold payments keeps the national currency
deprecated. 1t makes it appear, in effect,
that the legal-tenders, though based on the
credit of the Government, are not worth what
they represent to be worth. If all this clamor
were to cease, and legal-tenders were accepted
at their real worth, we should soon have no
more trouble about specie payments; for the
circulating notes Of this rich Government and
country are as good intrinsically as specie.
All that is wanted is uniform currency, and
an established monetary system that canuot
be controlled by few spectators or combi-
nation of bankers. The fluctuations in the
money market in this city for the last week or
two show the necessity of some remedy.
Many of the merchants and business men
were brought to the verge of bankruptcy by
the selfish and grasping operations of few
individuals. With steady and sufficient
currency beyond the control of such combi-
nations, business would be steady, and the
country would go on in its natural career of
prosperity.
