1t is a modern habit among Pres idents
of the United States to start of on
troutiug tramp, hundreds of miles from
Washington, while Congress is in ses.
sion. Had Andrew johnson left his
post for pleasant fooling of that sort, he
would have been impeached on the sole
ground Of the immortality Of angling,
and a special committe would have been
raised to intercept the lines he dropped,
to discover il there was not treason at
their other ends, An Executive who
could not comprehend the improperly
of the thing without b.iug told of it,
never could do SO after it was intimated
to him. Until now, the Executive
Office has been regarded as one Of the
most important trusts, coordinate with
tho Legislative, and requiring constant
attendance to its duties at least while
Congress was 10 session. But by strip.
ping it of its power Congress has made
it a sineeure, and its dignity naturally
goes when its importance is taken away.

FREDERIcK AND Pennsylvania
LISE-The City Council of Frederick,
Md, passed an ordinance last week in
favor Of the endorsement Of the bonds
of the Frederick aud Pennsylvania Line
Railroad, to the amount Of $3.50, 900.
The Frederick Herald has the following
on the subject:
Certain parties, we learn intend applying
for an injunction to restrain the corporate
authorities from endorsing any more OF these
bonds. What the effect Of this injunction.
il it is carried into effect, will be seems in
the opinion of many persons to be doubtful.
We favor the construction Of a railroad from
frederick, and do not care II it be built by
private subscription or by our corporate au.
thorities, provided the road be built. That
is the main point. IL the parties now con.
structing the road can build it let them 20
ahead but il they cannot, let them yield TO
those who can. A slight increase in taxa.
ton for the purpose Of building the road, IL
the road is to be built, will be cheerfnlly
borne, but good evidence should be given
that the road will be built before the money
is demanded, the payment Of which will
eventually fall upon the tax payers. Under
all and every circumstances. let us have the
road. Do not let US live in seclusion the
balance Of our days, but make some move.

as the Hanover aud Maryland Line
Turnpike, to determine whether il was
in proper order aud condition to exact
toll for travel over it, performed the
duty imposed upon them on Thursday
OF last week, and after thorough en-.
animation Of the road found it to be
greatly out Of repair, and accordingly
condemned il. For some time past
considerable complaint had been made
regarding the unit condition of the
pike for travel and the high toll exacted,
BY the teamsters and proprietors Of the
iron-ore wagons passing over it, aud
which resulted 10 the appointment of
the above Jury 70 SEQ whether there
was any foundation for the com plaint or
not. Whether the decision Of the Jury
