the education OF the laboring classes the establish
ment OF credit institutions to promote and facilitate

This final resolution takes the following sbape.-
The International Workmen's Congress recommends
workingmen to abstain from all work In the event
OF war breaking out In their respective countries.

nounces a war between France ana Germany as "a
civil war for the profit OF Russia" II adds:-The

The SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.


1t is at least some relief to the suspense at
tending the controversy at Washington, to
perceive indications that the catastrophe of
the plot is approaching. There is also con-
siderable degree of satisfaction in learning
that the President seems calm and expresses
himself content with having the question of
the incumbency of the war Office referred to
judicial consideration. Judge Carter presides
in court of the District of Columbia; and it
is to be presumed that an appeal may 60 from
his decision, if in favor of Mr.. Stanton, to
the Supreme Court of the United States, so
that the highest Judicial tribunal may at length
pass finally upon the question. And so far as
the President is concerned, this would end
the matter, as he has declared his willingness
to abide by decision Of the Supreme Court.
But the precipitation of impeachment in the
House unsettles all calculations based on this
judicial reference Of the question. If sum-
mary suspension should be attempted along
with impeachment, it is clear that the Presi-
dent must either find means of sustaining
himself in executive position by military force
or submit to be superseded by an acting pres
identassigned to the place by Congress.

The oPELousAs RAILROAD.

Among the enterprises promising great ad-
vantages to New Orleans, one of the most
important, and most practical. is the compile
ton Of the Opelousas Railr DAD. 1t has long
been plain enough that a railroad connection
between New Orleans and Texas is needed at
both ends of the proposed hne; and the OBJ
ject would have been consummated some
years since had the war not interviewed to
place check on all such enterprises. Texas
is a rapidly growing State. Its increase in
population has been almost equal to that of
the States of the Northwest and the develop
ment of its agricultural resources has been
marvelously rapid. There is little doubt
that in both respects, it has nearly doubled
since the last census and the rate
of augmentation would be still greater
if those vast and fertile domains
were connected with the New Or
leans markets by permanent and sure
line of communication. Aglance at the map,
and few moments study Of the statistics
of Texas, are enough to demonstrate this
fact, and to show how vastly New Orleans
would be benefited by the consummation of
Tue pIOpOotu pioJcCb anu uOb only Dy OPEN
ing market for the products of Texas, would
the contemplated road be advantageous. Its
benefits, in this respect, would be immediate;
but the prospective advantages would per-
haps, be still greater. The natural route for
Pacific railroad is through the valley of the
CHA, and the valley of the ella is to bereached
by traversing Texas. On this route there are
no lofty mountain chains to be overcome, and
very little desert country to be passed. Almost
all the territory along the line is fitted for cul-
tivation, and much of it, in rude way, is now
under culture. From San Antonio to the
Pacific tits not much more than eight hundred
miles; SO that the work in comparison with
the Northern road would be mere child's play.
Already the road is completed from Hous-
ton to the Sabine, and only about -1e0 miles
remain to be filed in Louisiana We under
stand that movements are on foot to resume
work on this section, and push it rapidly to
completion. We hope that such is the case.
There is no project that would confer greater
or more lasting benefits on our city.
