EMIGRATION 10 THE SoUru.-On Sat-
urday afternoon Colonel Louis thinner,
formerly president Of the North Carolina
Central Railroad Company. and general
Southern agent Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, called at the Executive Mansion
for the purpose of laying before the President
the plan for directing European emigration
to the Southern States. Tie President lis
tened to the explanations Of Col thinner
with great attention, and gave him the fol-
lowing letter to be used abroad /:
"Col. Louis thinner, of North Carolina,
goes to Europe in the interest of the South
ern Union Land Company, to induce emil
grafton to the Southern States of America.
The South holds pHt great Inducements to an
industrious population, both in the produc-
tiveness Of the soil and in the cheap rate at
which it can be acquired. Labor, also, can
be employed to a much larger extent and
fairer wages than is now supplied"
Col. thinner expects to be absent six
months, and purposes leaving on Wcdnes-
day, in the steamer frem Baltimpre.-Bal-

REMOVAL OF D1sAB1LrTrEs.-A prominent
member of the Senate of the United States,
writing to a member of the Virginia House
of Delegates, now in this city, under date
of tho 4th instant, says in reference to a bill
now before the Senate for removal of the
disabilities Of various citizens Of Virginia +:
''The Dill has passed to a third reading. I
have made repeated efforts to get the chair
to take up this bill without success until
this day He called it up this evening, and
was proceeding to move for the correction
of some mistakes in the names and to have
some more added. when Edmunds, of Yer
mont, objected, and was seconded by Tari
GUS Republican Senators and the Bill was
put back. The prospect of getting it up
soon is not very good. From all I can gee
and hear l do not think that any final action
will be had until after the elections"
A member Of the House of Representa-
tlvcs. writing, the 9Th instant, to the same
gentleman. says in regard to the same sub.
ject: Il fear from present indications, that
no bill will pass both Houses soon. Hope
that | may be mistaken. "-Enqusrey.

CHESAPEAKE AND ONO RA1LRoAD.-The
Union Register Monroe county, West Vir-
ginia) says: o.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad COM
pany have now at work on the Big Bend
tunnel, near the mouth of Grccnbrier, a
force OF nearly one hundred and fifty labor
ers, under the direction Of Colonel Minifce.
The work is experimental and preparatory
to the construction Of the tunnel under con-
tract. Three great shafts are being sunk to
determine the character of the rock and to
afford reliable data for the estimates. Per-
sons from the scene of operations tell US that
the rock has been found of a firm, slatey
character, not hard to blast, and that the
engineers are confident of a favorable result.
The tunnel is the greatest work on the route,
being 6,4o0 feet long, requiring two or
three years for completion. An active
market for lumber and country produce has
already been created at the spot by the
wants OF the working party /; supplies being
needed for a large force of horses and mules,
besides TOR the men, and a vast quantity OF
materials for buildings and auxiliary works.
When the campaign opens next spring along
the whole line we shall witness a general
quickening Of this torpid wilderness.

void, involving the legal tender law, up
from Kentucky Court of Appeals-Chief
Justice Chase delivered the opinion of the
court this morning, sustaining the decision
of the court below, and hold that a contract
made before the passage of the legal-tender
act conld not be discharged in United States
notes. IL
The opinion is very long, and discusses
at great length the powers of Congress-
1t holds that Congress had no right to make
government notes a legal-tender for pre-
existing private debts.
1t does not touch the question of contracts
made since the law was passed.
This opinion was concurred in by JUS
tees Nelson, Clifford and Field. Justice
Miller delivered the minority opinion, which
was concurred in by Justices Swaync and
Davis, holding the law to be entirely con-
stitutional, and treating it principally as an
incident to the war power.

Is there any truth in the statement that the
offices in the gift of the Legislature are to be
apportioned among the members ? We trust
not and hope they will look around for the
best talent for the positions and not conhne
themselves to the members Of the Legisla-
ture, as they will find none to agree that all
the talent in the State is in that body.

for the equal rights Of all the States, the
