The New York Times, in a recent
article on tke Pretideot of the United
States, very wisely suggests to Congress
the shelving of the impeachment pro
jects before that body, and the necessity
of
Executive officer of the nation* This is
what is wanted in all Departments—
harmony and unity of action. The
President has done his duty, to the best
of his ability, in his efforts to reconstruct
the Union; and if he had been let
alone, we should have had ‘‘a more per
fect Union” now, and a return to pros'
perity that would gratify every true
patriot ill the land. But Congress has
seeu fit to differ from him, and to undo
what he has done; and this, altogether,
from a feeling of jealousy or revenge.
Aa k », there tore, a personal matter,
why cannot the difficulty between the
two Witches of the Government be
amicably adjusted and satisfactorily
arranged? Surely, it is the patriot's
first duty, in all his actions, to look to
the interests of his country, rather than
to the gratification of anv personal feel
ings or desires of his own ; and it is, also,
the duty of the statesman to sink his
individuality in the general welfare.
The President has taken the first
step in this direction. In his late veto
Message he deplores the disagreements
existing between himself and Congress,
and promises in the future to use his
best endeavors to promote concert of
action between himself and that body.
Now, let Congress meet him half way ;
drop all their nonsensical resolutions
•nd propositions about impeachment ;
withdraw from the leadership of Stevens
and Sumner, and arraying themselves
under the banner of true, self-sacri
ficing patriotism, forget the past, and
act only for the present and future good
ot the whole country. The North, as
well as the South, needs a settlement
of existing difficulties, and it is the part
of wisdom, as well as the great duty of
the time, to harmonize all conflicting
interests, and restore peace and unity
to the whole country.

Street Xaiirowl*.
Tho following article fro« the New
York Herald, is of interest in this sec
tioa, from the fact that iu several Sooth
ern cities Street Railroads are in con
temptation, or in process of construc
tion. Here we need not have ®rial
tracks, because we have wider streets
than some of the Northern cities; and
our cities are not so densely populated
as they are there ; and again, we are
not prepared to admit they are any
more advantageous than the terrestrial.
Passing over the tops of the booses, or,
on treasle work over the yards and gar
dens of a city, the cars might run off the
track, and be precipitated with all their
occupants, on to cooks, washerwomen,
and children at play beneath them.
Thus, the chances of injury would be ss
great as if the road was run upon the
ground ; while, as the herald observes,
the underground plan is impracticable^
Our Street Railway Company will,
we presume, adopt the middle course,
and run their track on the ground ;
though at preaent there seems to be
but little prospect of its running on
auylhing. Those who have it in
charge should bring all the energy
and zeal which they possess, and
complete the work. Do let us try
and keep up with the age in our
City affairs at least, and improve the
City whenever and wherever we can
It is quite time that our people were
awaking from their Rip Van Winkle
nap and taking snch steps as will
place Augusts where she ought to be,
in the front rank of her Souiheru
sister cities.
But to the Herald's suggestions:
We see that the underground rail
road scheme has been revived in the
Assembly. It contains a number of
tresb provisions, professing to meet the
objections started against- it last ses
sion, but in reality are mere evasions of
them. It is all nonset se to think ot
forcing through this bill. The general
sentiment of the public is against it.
What we want is not a multiplication of
our present street obstructions but a
comprehensive and practical scheme,
which will rid us of all such annoyances,
while it will increase the facilities ot
passenger traffic. To obtain this, we
must do away with all the existing
lines and construct eight or ten new
ones, running parallel from the Central
Park to the Battery, between and over
tiie houses. By this plau the thorough
fares could be cleared of rails and street
cars, and a good macadamized surface
obtained on them, thus rendering them
agreeable for carriages and other vehi
cles. The objeetions to the cost would
not be very serious, seeing that the
lines would run through the yards of
the houses, and that at an elevation
which would detract but little from their
usefulness. The idea of constructing
them on such a high level seems a little
startling at first; but there is in reality
uothing objectionable in it. Experi
ence has shown that the plan is not
less safe or agreeable, while we know
that it is infinitely less costly, than the
ordinary system.
There is scarcely a city in Europe in
which thickly inhabited quarters are not
traversed by lines thus built. Take
London, for instance. There are the
Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and the
Blnckwall lines, which reach their t< r
mini in the heart of the city over the
roofs of the houses. In Bath and other
provincial towns a similar plan of con
struction is to be observed. Its advan
tages are directness of route, cheapness,
and avoidance of the regular thorough
fares. We need not enlarge on the
necessity of the same conditions as the
basis of any general plan for the recon
struction of our street lines. They are
more indispensable in the case of New
York than in that of any other city, in
consequence of the small area to which
it is restricted. If we go on adding to
the lines built on the present plan, the
city will soon become impassable by
ordinary vehicles, and the number of
accidents will increase to a frightful
extent. We therefore say to our repre
sentatives in the Legislature that they
must oppose each and every project
which does not embrace a general re
construction of the railroad system of
tke metropolis. As for the underground
line, it is simply impracticable, and
looking to the names connected with it,
we can only regard it as intended to
serve a makeweight for some scheme
presenting less physical difficulties, but
nut less objectionable.
