raaera, Control Of Pubic Works.


The Washington special telegram in yes
terday,s Dispatch informed us OF the fesoiu-
t;on offered by Senator STEWART insTuctIns
thc Judiciary Committee to inquire into the
mower Of Congress to authorize tue coh-
s,ruction os railroads passing into or through
two or more States. 1t was conlectnred that
This motion indicated purpose to assume to
the Federal Government the power over oil
the railroads and canals in The country.
Rejecting men see that our National Gov
ernmcnt is strong centralized power, and
is daily growing stronger. There need be
no hope that State rights in any efficient anu
dignifed form will ever be revived. Every
day gives signs Of the steady growth OIL
Federal power and its arbitrary and resist
less interference in the local concerns OF the
States. That there is necessity for some
increase of the agency Of tho Central Go'-
ernmcnt in the direction OF nntlonal affairs
for the protection of IFS own interests ana
the faciIitation of commercial intercourse
among the States cannot he denied; but Its
powers will he carried long way beyond
the views of the most ultra FcderalistS o!
thirty years since.
That il will take charge Of the railroads
and the telegraph in few years we have
little doubt, The proposition of Mr.. STEW
AIT seems to have been borrowed from MIR
CAIHouSs idea that where an ''inland sea d"
washed the shores of three States the fede-
raj Government might improve the navlga'
ton of the waters Of that sea upon the
ground Of their national importance. MIR.
CALHOUN was patriot rs well as man OF
spotlcss character. He wanted TO conclllate
national prejudice toward bis theories, and
made this decided concession in the hope oil
a compromise. He evidently foreSaw that
the Federal Government would greatly en-
tend its power over the subject of improve
ment: whether he thought from necessity
or not. Of course we cannot know. But he
seemed to have begun to pave the way for it.
His friends were surprised ut his proposed
concession, and those opposed to him
thought they had gained II victory Which
they were not then ready to profit by. They
looked upon it as one that would keep, and
made no movement to meet Mr.. CALHOUN.
Mr.. STEWARDS resolution, however, moves
forward to the ground occupied by Mr.. CAL
HouS and beyond it. The application of bis
rule to railroads is very different matter
from that of applying it to the MiSsissiprl
and some few other rivers. They cannot be
changed and made to run through the States
in all directions. Railroads already intcrsect
all the States, and if taken under control will
give to Congress Il supervision and power
permeating every corner and nook OF the
States.
Congress has had the subject in view for
several sessions, and it will not be many more
before it takes positive action on the subject.

Vcry Young americans. BY LAURA w. LED
YARD. With Illustrations by ADDIE LED,
YARD. Boston: ROBERTS & BROTHER.
This is most capital child's book. The
stories are charmingly artless and childlike,
while the illustrations are super-eXcelent.
We know not these gentle LEDYARDs, but
they are unquestionably very gifted. The
genius that can invent a child's story in a
manner true to tue winsome and unaffected
and artless, yet graceful and arch and mimic
ways of children, is rare indeed and equally
rare is that other genius for drawing children
with their cunning expressions and their
simple and lovely attitudes. The illustra
tons in this little work entitle the author to
q very high rank as an artist.

The illustrations are admirable. They are
quite triumph for our townsman SuEp-
PARD, who, American rs he is, aud not
familiar with English life, has yet given
scenes so true 10 English peculiarites
that one would think none but 4 genuine
English artist could draw them. He has
triumphed, again, in the style of urt in
which his drawings are made. They are
after the modern scratchy or coarse-lned
pictures, the technical name of which we do
not know. Nearly all the pictures we have
seen of this kind make the human face as
unseemly and inexpensive as can be well
imagined, but SuErrARD's drawings main
tain the symmetry Of feature and express
sion of face OF the characters which fig
IRE through tho story. lie is certainly
one Of the very best artists in his liae this

Louisiana PROSTATE.

Poor Louisiana. She is the most decided
OF African States. Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida, and South Carolina are poorly
enough conditioned, but Louisiana is worse
OFF than any Of them. Her sad fate is alto
gcthcr due to the new element i'll the con-
slituent body forced prematurely upon the
southern States by a ruthless Congress. They
now see what they have done; but what of
that? They do not propose TO alleviate the
troubles they have brought upon the coun-
try. and will not propos to do so until such
n change in the political power of the sec
tons shall take place as shall make it to the
interest of those vino have inflicted the out
rage to restore to the country its order and
dignity.
Bnt there are principles involved in the
policy OF the Government towards the south
crn States, now especially illustrated in the
Louisiana case, which, unchecked, will ere
long spread over the Union and involve
every other State in that complete sub
mission to Federal power, and utter ami
hlation of all State authority, which are
now beheld in that unfortunate State-one
of the tairest and richest in the Union. She
lies, indeed, PROSTATE. She is dead and
buried. But upon her tomb may be read,
as Il warning to other States, Tie simple in
scription which in simpler days was put
over the last resting place of many of the
departed:
