LARGEST CIRMUTIIRII THE BITV AID MIITY
SATURDAY, MARCH 31, ISM.
A CHANGE OP BASE.
At the commencement-of the war if there
was any one thing about which the radicals
of the present day ever agreed it was that
tho President should determine when a
war or an insurrection existed ; and as a
consequence it was tor him to decide as to
whether the writ of habeas corpus should be
suspended— and that it was his duly to take
every step necessary for the suppression c?
insurrection even without consulting Con
gress. Not so now ; as we may infer from
the passage of resolutions in the U. S. Sen
ate a few days since, which assert that
•‘when insurrection was inaugurated, Con
gress alone had the power and was charged
with the duty to suppress it," and that the
question as to whether the insurrection had
been suppressed or not “is to be determined
by Congress and not by the Executive
alone." Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated on the
4tb of March, 1861, and did not call Con
gress together until the 4th of July. In the
mean time he, of his own mere motive, in
creased the regular army and navy, pro
claimed that insurrection existed, blockaded
southern ports, suspended the writ of habeas
corpus, caused citizens to be arrested, and
resorted to every measure which he thought
was calculated to bring the south to sub
mission. Congress then approved of all he
did, and the Courts sustained him also. It
was the radical doctrine then that it was the
President’s business to deal with the “re
bellion,’’and that he was clothed by the
Constitution with unlimited powers while it
lasted. But, Mr. Lincoln having proclaimed
the existence of insurrection, Mr. Johnson
cannot now proclaim its non existence. The
former had power enough to emancipate
negroes, and to offer the southern people all
mauqer of conditions il they would lay down
their arms, but the latter has no right to listen
to or deal with any terras of submission they
may offer. We are now iuformed that when
“insurrection was inaugurated. Congress
aloue had the power and was charged with
the duty to suppress itand that Congress
can alone determine whether or not it has
been suppressed. So long as our President
worked harmoniously with the Radicals,
every thiug he did was lawful and constitu
tional. But when another who is following
precisely in the footsteps of his predecessor'
refuses to obey the behests of faction every
thimr he does is clearly wrong and illegal.—
And the very men who avowed Mr. Lincoln
was right now pronounced that he was
wrong. The time has been when such wild
inconsistency would receive the indignant
rebuke ot the American people.
dancy. We date the stability of the politi
cal institutions of France front the year 1852,
the year of the ascendancy to power of
Louis Napoleon. Parlies then assumed dis
tinct lines of demarcation, like the conserva
tive, the liberal, and the tory parties in Eng
land, with their separate leaders. Jules Fa-
vre and M. Thiers may divide tbe power of
the democracy in the House of Deputies, as
being entitled to the distinction of leaders,
from their equally transcendant abilities, as
the leadership of the royalist party in that
body may dewflve on M. Berryer, as the re
presentative man of the party to which he is
attached.
The style of the debates‘appears also to
approximate to that of the British.fionse of
Commons, less rhetorical and ^haettrsive and
more practical. Such long ’ speeches as
i hose delivered recently in tbe Corps Legislat f,
in which the question before tbe body ap
peared to be merged in general declamation,
would not be tolerated In tbe House of Com
mons, but tbe tone of independence assumed
and tbe freedom of discussion permitted, re
mind one of tbe best days of the French'
Republic-
A Sf.s-seless Hoax.—Santa unscrupulous persons,
with the evident design of perpetrating an all Fools'
Day hoax, caused to be telegraphed to this city jester.,
day from Charleston a report of tbe loss, with all on
board, of the Government Bteamer Cosmopolitan on
her trip from Savannah to Florida with lf -j— General
Sickles’ party. By the arrival of the steamer Dictator,
Coxctter, from Jacksonville last night, we learned that
; the Cosmopolitan had arrived at that port tn safety.
If it was the intention of the originators of the canard
to hoax the Savannah press agd public they have been
happily cheated of their illegitimate and unfeeling

Our citizens have notlUled to ob»rre the diligence
-and care with which the Chairman of the Streets and
Lanes Committee, Alderman One, is performing the
work of repairing, grading, deabaing, and otherwise
improving our streets, lane sand squares. It only re
mains for our citizens to second his efforts to put the
city in order and keep it cleanly, so that we may have
no apprehensions of Epidemic or other sickness this
summer from causes which it is in our "power to

instances bis efforts are defeated by persons throwing
offal and trash in the lanes immediately after he has
had them cleaned.

LEGISLATIVE INTERFERENCE.
There is no truth more self-evident, if not
axoimatlc, than that Legislative interference
aggravates social and economical evils. All
history demonstrates that attempts to fix by
law a maximum of>prices have resulted in
failure. This fact was strikingly evinced dur
ing the late war by the Confederate Con
gress in fixing a maximum of prices for
staple articles of consumption, and by the
Federal CoDgress in placing a limit to the
price of gold. Of the same character is the
recent act of Congress prohibiting the
Secretary of the Treasury from contracting
t he currency more than ten millions in the
first six months after the act is passed, and
more than four millions per month after
wards until the period of specie payment
is reached.
This act violates one of the established
laws of currency. The quantity of circnla-
liug'UKAm "‘‘x&fytt
ratio.to the to be ef
fected — i nm it hatt tr
pertofm. 'No^yko^-leglfliSlion can fix’this
-proportion, because it fluctuates from time
to time, according to demand and supply.
A period of prosperity and confidence calls
for an increase of circulating medium. A
period of stagnation and distrust induces the
reverse. When the Federal Congress en
acted that the National bank currency
should not exceed three hundred millions of
dollars, they did as great violence to an es
tablished law of currency as they did when
they imposed a limit on Mr. McCulloch in
contracting the currency.
The laws of Nature may prove too strong
for acts of Congress. Let us suppose the
balance of trade to turn greatly in favor of
the United States with Europe, and the tide
of the precious metals so to flow to this side
el tiie Atlantic that the premium on gold
should disappear ? The consequence would
be that the act of Congress would be inop
erative, and that the period of specie pay
ments might be anticipated by some nine
years. Sir Robert Peel’s bill of 1819, provided
for the resumption ot specie payments by the
Bank of England in 1825, but the Balance of
Trade became so favorable to England in
1822 that the price of gold fell so considera
bly that the Bank resumed specie payments
in that year thus anticipatingby three years
the period of resumption.
SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.
To disparage tbe southern people in the
eyes of the world the remark has been fre
quently made by those unfriendly to them
that they are lamentably 'deficient in that
farsightedness and energy wbicb have char
acterized other communities in the erection
of public improvements. It is needless to
say that in this, as in all other instances of
persistent misrepresentation, much injury has
been inflicted. But the invidiousness of tbe
comparison, has been signally exposed by tbe
unprecedented vigor that has marked the re
construction of the southern railroads in tbe
calm succeeding the war. At tbe dose of
the late conflict there was not an efficient
road between the Potomac and tbe Qulf.
Generals Grant, Sherman and Thomas bad
completed the work of devastation which
the Confederate government and others be
gan. In some places the track was torn up
for a short distance; in some the bridges
were burned; in some the rails were
wrenched away and destroyed for many
miles. Since the close of tbe war these
roads have been repaired, renewed and en
larged very considerably, so that they now
drain nearly all the territory originally tribu
tary to them, and something more.
A northern exchange, in an article compli
menting the Southern peoj-le for the energy
thus displayed, says—“a project is under way
for building the road from Cincinnati to Knox
ville, Tenn. It is to be finished in two years.
Another road is projected from Kentucky,
through Memphis into communication with
the Gulf Roads, and another between Mont
gomery and Nashville. The road from St.
Joseph, Missouri, to Galveston, Texas, six
hundred miles long, is likely to be begun be
fore long. Another railway is building be
tween Little Rock and Memphis, in which
Gen. Sherman wishes to employ the force of
negro regiments of Arkansas. A road has
been begun between Alexandria and Freder
icksburg, Va., fifty miles long, running near
to Mount Vernon. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company proposes building from
Lynchburg to Danville, Va. Another road
will soon be built from Harper’s Ferry to
Salem, where it joins tbe Virginia and Ten
nessee roads. The Manassas Road Com
pany is beginning to rebuild its bridges, and
the Leesburg Road is getting ready to run.
A new road will soon be finished from
Washington to Point Look Out. The North
Carolina roads are being renewed, and trains
will soon run from Richmond to Memphis
Charleston is to be connected with the Ohio
river by the South Carolina Road. The Mis
sissippi Central progresses. The Atlantic
& Gulf Road, and the road from Savannah
to Augusta via Millen, are completed, bat
the connection with Macon awaits awhile.

DELIBERATIVE BODIES IN FRANCE.
The improvement of the debates of tbe
French Legislature is one of the most re
markable legislative features of our period.
If tbe ^discussions of tbe Corps Legis/atif
of the present day are compared with those
that took place at the inauguration at tbe
commencement of the second empire, tbe
debates will be found to Lave greatly gained
in decorum as well as effectiveness. Tbe
freedom that characterize tbe utterances of
the members of the opposition is not more
striking than the propriety of language which
usually characterize deliberative bodies.
Tbe executive and legislativejbranchesof the
government in their official intercourse ap
pear to observe those limits that imply mu
tual respect. It would appear as if experi
ence had taught tbe latter those modes of
conducting the debates, and of doing busi
ness that aro most conducive to the efficien
cy of legislative action. A deliberative body,
in the proper sense of the term, France has
not had until recently. The legislative as
semblies that grew out of the revolution were
not deliberative bodies in the real meaning
of the phrase. They were assemblies that
became party organs, and in which party
combats were carried on for political ascen-

Great Northern and the Mobile Roads are

The numerous enterprises embraced in
this catalogue, many of which are in sue
cessful operation, and the rest being pushed
forward with great energy, are tho highest
proofs that the South is fnily informed of the
necessities of the crisis, and that a begin-'
ning is being made by her business men for
the industry of the future, which is not more
a need for this section than it is a value to
the whole country. The building of “rail
roads is but one of many branches of in
ternal improvement in which our people are
actively engaged, and as it cannot prosper
without public confidence, they must be
well convinced of the enduring character of
tbe peace, when they essay these great un
dertakings while mouey is so scarce and so
many obstacles have to be met. The exist
ing energy only shows what we may now
look for in tbe Southern States, and what a
varied and active busingss will soon be con
ducted within their limits.
