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.

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.
