Mr.. boutwell, has reduced the public debt
so much that the annual interest upon it Is
now over twelve millions Of dollars less than
1t was two years ago. The country will
thus save that large sum annually.
Not only has he thus relieved the people
of a large annual burthen, but be has set
free over two hundred millions of dollars OF
capital, which has been or must be invest
ed in some other way. He paid OF more
than eleven millions Of dollars OF the public
debt during the month Of March, just past.
Some Of the money thus set free was, per-
haps, invested In Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad bonds, and perhaps some in Vir-
enia lands. We merely suggest these as
possible investments. We know, however,
that the capital will not be permitted ~ lie
i die, and that the southern States must ne
cessarily get share Of it. So that whilst
Mr.. boutwell, is reducing the burlhen Vi
interest he is giving Us chance to have the
benefit of some of the money which he thus
puts into circulation.

A Coop PoIET.-Mr. VAN TRUMP, of
Ohio, made Il speech in the House OF
Representatives on Monday, in which
be made the point that the power to
suspend the privilege of the writ Of
ha6eas corpus is a legislative power, and
cannot be exercised by deputy, and there
fore that Congress cannot confer upon the
President the power TO suspend it. That
body, he argued, could just as well confer
upon the President the power TO levy taXea;
for the writ in question could only be sus-
pended when in the judgment Of Congress,
not of the President, there was such ere
belllon." not insurrection," as would
justify Its suspension. And "rebellion !"
could never exist except where there was
an organized resistance to the laws and al
intention to oyerturn the Government.
This argument alone would suffice to Sc
cure the defeat Of the SHELLABARGER bill IL
the Radical members Of Congress under
stood and respected the Constitution which
they have sworn to support.

u,x IN Prevent Railroad accidents
%- (ror tho Di'patchsf
Almost every newspaper see contains
one or more items headed " Frtghtfui Rail-
road Accident" and have noticed that IN
a majority Of the cases reported for the last
several months, especially those which have
been attended with the most disastrous re.
suits, the displacement from the track OF
some of the rear cars has been the lmme.
diate cause of the respective accidents. Al
New Hamburg one of the rear cars, lt was
said, was dragged mile or more after II
was of the track before 1t caused the aus
aster, and 1t win be recollected that IN the
most appalling occurrence perhaps OF the
kind that has ever happened In TINS State-
that at Jerry's Run-it was thought the car
had been off the track for q considerable
distance before it came to the chasm
into which it was precipitated. Lastly,
| noticed in the Dispatch few days
since that sleeping car was dragged some
two miles after it had left the track. before
it toppled over an embankment. The iac'
that rear car can be off the track so Ions
without any of the men having control Of
the trains becoming aware OF It seems &c
suggest something defective either IN the
management or the arrangement Oh tnose
In charge. It has occurred to the writer
that great deal might he accomplished to-
ward the prevention of such "dlsasters
BY the adoption of the following plan: Lee
there be employed for each train reliable
man, who might be called the assistant en-
gineer, to occupy pavilion elevated hlgf
enough above that in which the engineer

and to see that the cars are all In place. III

out for distractions In front, his assistant

would, of course, be necessary TO have

those by which pilots are enabled to NOV

placed in the hands Of two men, VINO, iron
their proximity to each other, can act viii
