V ' JN-:.7 The Savannah Daily Herald. BY S. W. MASON. JjA?lt EL W. MASON, Editor, W. T. THOMPSON, Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. 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 •port. * • : - ' —- —-y*^w - ■ 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 remove. Alderman One complains that in many instances bis efforts are defeated by persons throwing offal and trash in the lanes immediately after he has had them cleaned. *** JNKRAL. INVITATION. -The friends' and acquaintin' FC DOWELL—The friends and acquaintance of Mr. Thomas Dowell and latnily are respectfully invited to attend bis funeral, at the Baptist Church, This Afternoon at 3)4 o’clock, P. M. m3l 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.

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- SPRING HATS!

The Memphis and Ohio Road is running over the Hatches river to Brownsville, in the first time for some years. The New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern and the Mobile Roads are both being pushed foward to completion." 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.
