ENGLAND.

A letter from George Potter has
recently been published in the Lon
don Times, in which the merits of a
monarchy and. a republic are compar-
ed. Such a document. published in
England, in the early part of this cen
tury, would have caused the imprison-
ment and probable conviction for trea-
son OF the writer, and the proprietors
of the Times. Mr.. Potter advocates
a republic as theoretically the best
government for Great Britain, but adj
mits tSsat the monarchy. as establish
ed under GIeen Victoria, is perfectly
satisfactory to mest intelligent Eng
lishmen. He speaks kindly of the
Queen, for which act of courtesy he is
severely censured' BY other MEMBERS
of the Republican party OF England.
Mr.. Potter, however, is not SIRE that
the successors of Queen Victoria will
be fit to reign. He thinks that the
monarchy might survive if the House
of Lords were made elective, many of
the present hereditary members being
in his opinion, entirely disqualified as
Legislators from their evil course of
life. The Church, he also argues,
must be disestablished, the ballot
adopted, and electoral districts of
equal population created for the select

no, now pretend to own the most val
liable railroads in the State, having
purchased them from the loyal and
patriotic Bullock. This accounts for the
lobbying presence of the Governor in
Washington City last winter, as well
as his malign conduct towards the
people of Georgia. Anticipating an
early impeachment, by the Legisla-
ture, he resigned the Governorship in.
to the hands of the President Of the
Senate. This was intended as a sharp
trick to avert impending impeachment
and criminal prosecutions. He will
not escape. W'arrants will be issued
his arrest. He will be taken back
to Georgia for trial on the numerous
Charges growing out ofhis transactions
while occupying the Governors chair.
It is beloved that Bullock has realized
nearly a million dollars through his
operations in Georgia bonds and the
manipulations of the State railroad
fund. Bullock left Atlanta for New
York, and it is suspected that he is
making arrangements to leave the
country. He has been consulting the
willy Secretary Delano and the old
corruptionist Simon Cameron in ref
ererce to the lease of the State rail
road. Bullock attempts to conceal
his yillainy by raising the cry Ku-
Klux and persecution /; but that dodge
will not win. His transactions are too
transparent. His attempt to infame
the local feuds of the State should
meet the severest condemnation. Let
Mr., Bullock be arraigned for his acts
of fraud, have a fair and impartial
trial, and if found guilty of the offences
with which he stands charged, let the
law be viDdicated.

Under the administration of Gen.
Mcclellan, Senator Thurman, and w.
B. Duncan, as Trustees, the affairs of
the corporation known as tt Atlantic
& great Western Railway are fast as
summing a shape as satisfactory as the
stockholders could reasonably expect.
Since assuming control of the road,
their policy has been characterized by
business common sense, and wise fore
thought. They have rushed into in
novations merely for the sake of
doing somethingJ yet, where change
hats seemed to be called for, they have
not hesitated to make it, and have
thus far been most fortunate in the
selection of their officers. We have
intelligence, from official sources, that
II. F. Sweetser, Esq, has been placed
as general manager over the entire
line, composed of the several sections
in New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
This is a wise choice. MIR. Sweetser
was superintendent of the road during
the earlier days of its history and on
its transfer from its officiary to duties
elsewhere, he carried with him the
confidence of all with whom he had
been associated, and also of those
whose property and interests had been
committed to his care. Subsequently,
as president of the Oil Greek d ALLIE
ghany River Railroad, he added to his
reputation as an officer of energy in
tegrity, and just apprehension of the
principles which should govern rail-
road management. He returns to the
Atlantic & Great Western with the
added experience Of the intervening
years, and his familiarity with the
line, its resources, needs, and capaci-
ties, a not but prove most valuable
to this, one of the great highways of
the land. He will find his position
now otie of greater care than former
ly, and bearing greater responsible
ties. Besides, certain movements now
on foot, but of which it is not neces-
sary to speak particularly, promise to
make this route to the East even more
important in its relations to commerce
and travel than it has ever been.-
These projected arrangements will en-
tail additional labor and skill. There
can be no doubt, however, that MI.
Sweetser will prove equal to the bur
den of the emergency From tho
