UessrS. Editors Our people are just now
considerably exercised about the extension Of the
Junction Il Brcakwatcr Railroad. Practical men,
or rather men who count the cost before building,
are asking if it would not be the better policy,

But first let us give you the course or the way the
track would most likely come to reach our sec

Ii start from Georgetown In straight line TO
what Is known as the Dnubrdge Mills, and pass
on To the North Of MilisburU' and across Indian
River, just below Whartun's Branch, which is on
the South side of the river, and on down near or
through Dagsboro', Frnkiord. and Centrcvillc,
to tue waters Of Hes Wight Bay, which is not

Everybody remembers how, at the out
break of the rebellion, when the Southern
leaders finally threw away all DISCUSSES, and
assumed the garb of armed treason, there
were many ''changes" from the opposite
party, to that of the Union. These gave to
the Republic, throughout the struggle, much
OF its strength and solidity. At this time,
there is like danger the parties are divi-
ding as they then did into the friends of
Llberty and the Republic and those who are
reckless of both. As an evidence of this is

TIE PREDICTION that American securities
will decline In Europe in consequence of the
removal of President johnson and the in
stallalion of Benjamin +. Wade is q wretch
ed canard. To all such prophets we COM
mend the safe advice of Hosea Biglow,
''Do MT never prophcsy unless yc know. >
All the tendencies of Johnsons malcvolcnt,
unstable, retrograde, weak and uncertain
administration have been to unseitle and
weaken our securities at home and abroad.
we cannot think that an administration
headed by President Wade, with Cabinet
and all minor offices in harmony with the
law, and with Congress, and with the ma
iority Of the American people, could have
any other effect on our securities than Ia
advance their value by reestablishing the
shattered unity and harmony of the Coy
ernment.-NeW York Tribune.

might be fully investigated.
Bouttovtch, however, did not think ii
worth while to keep the appointment. lie
considered that his game in England was
played out-for the reputation of a spy is as
delicate as that of a woman; he has only to
be suspected to be ruined. He accordingly
asked the general to grant him permission
to start forthwith for st. Petersburg; and
this the general did the more readily, mas
much as his mission in London was also at
an end.

VIZ PRESENT ELSEWHERE, to-day, an ex-
tended and very interesting summary of the
reports presented by the officers of the Will
mington & Reading Railroad Company, at
the late general meeting. The prospects of
the enterprise are most excellent the steps
taken to complete its construction have been
prudent, energetic and truly economical, and
there can be no doubt that tht general all
minisration of the Companys interest has
been faithful and wise. The expressions
of the Chief Engineer concerning the value
Of this city, as a terminus for shipping pur-
poses amply and most gratifyingly confirms
The views which we have repeatedly set
forth in these columns.

The DEMOCRATIC PAPERS have been la
boring industriously TO create an impress
sion that Andrew johnson will not have a
fair trial by quoting statement by the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribunc, that two-thirds of the Senators
were pledged in favor ofimpeachment. We
do not doubt that the language of the cor
respondent in question, like that of the ma
joriiy of Washington correspondents, was
rather strong, but the mere statement that
twO-thirds of the Senators were in favor of
impeachment is merely stating that they
were anxious to have a man against whom
grave charges have repeatedly and publicly
been made, brought before the proper tribu-
nal for trial, while to talk about the Sena-
tors or any one else favoring impeachment
now, is an absurdity, since Andrew John
son is impeached by the only branch of the
National Government having power to i'm
peach. The Senate tries, and, we believe,
will convict.
AS to the howl raised that the Senate
knows in advance what will be its action in
the matter, there is nothing in it. If the
facts as developed by the testimony prove
to he such as they now appear, then there
cannot be a reasonable doubt that the Senate
will convict. If new facts are developed
then considerations of which the Senate
now knows nothing will influence its de-
csion, and Andrew will have fair trial in
either case.
When notorious criminal is brought to
Justice, there could not be a Jury of twelve
intelligent men found who did not believe
that if the common report concerning the
alleged criminal is true, that he is guilty
