THE CINCINNATI AND CHATTANOOGA
RAILROA D—SAVANNAH INTER
ESTED.
We have perused with interest the pub
lished report of the preliminary examination
recently made by Col. W. B Gaw, of the
contemplated route of the Cincinnati and
Chattanooga Railroad, an enterprise iu
which the business intelligence of two im
portant sections of the country is now mani
festiDg a lively interest. The object of the
examination is to ascertain the most favora
ble location in the “Tennessee Valley,”
thence to the point where the proposed rail
road enters the mountains of Dearmoud’s
Gap, and has been projected with a view to
the establishment of an air line communica
tiou by rail between Cincinnati and Chatta
nooga. The main object, however, is to
shorten the distance between the “Queen
City” of the West and the nearest com
mercial outlets on the Atlantic and Gull
coasts, so that, by lessening the cost ol
transportation, there may bo an enlarge
ment of the exchange of the crude pro
ducts of the South, both mineral and agri
cultural, for the products of the skilled labor
of Cincinnati. She desires to receive the
cotton and wool, the iron, lead and coppei
of the South, and in return supply the cloth,
machinery and other manufactured articles
which, may be needed in the cotton States.
To facilitate this exchange of productions,
and that the cost of transportation may be
dccrefsed, Cincinnati wants a railroad on
the shortest possible line which will con
nect her with the centre of the Southern
system of railways. She says she cannot
obtuiu.that line via Knoxville or Nashville.
Mr. Gaw, in his report says that the line he
has surveyed iS the most eligible one, which
makes the distance from Cincinnati to Chat
tanooga iwenty-two and a half miles less
than by way of Knoxville or Nashville. He
says, also, this route is admirably adapted to
the ends in view, as it opens up the richest
mineral regions of the country, as he knows
trom personal observation, and affords the
most direct and speedy access to the great
cotton fields of Georgia,Florida, Alabama and
Mississippi.
There is one other consideration in con
nection with this subject, to which only a
passing reference is made in the report,
which demands the special attention of the
people of Savannah. It is this: that the
construction of the road on the route re
commended by Mr. Gaw, will designate, by
actual measurement,Savannah as the nearest,
and therefore the cheapest outlet on the
Southern Atlantic coast for exportation to
the West Iudia Islands of the marketable
productions of the great West. Heretofore
Charleston, as the result of her railroad con
nection with Memphis, has enjoyed a
monopoly of this trade. Thus, it will be
seen, that, the completion of this road would
eonfer inestimable benefits upon this city—
to the extent, we have no doubt, ol
nereaeing two fold its present amouut of
business.
We sincerely hope that this great enter
prise will be speedily accomplished, for it is
evident that the Western people are looking
with peculiar interest to an adequate South
ern market for the sale and shipment of its
immense products. Savannah will then
command a commercial position inferior to
none other in the South or West, and now
that the political and social differences which
have heretofore interposed barriers, to a
greater or less extent against the full trade
intercourse between the two sections, time
i* uolbing to prevent her enlargement n iu
few years to a first class city.
The fact that business men and capitalists
of the West have become interested so largely
in the enterprise to which we have referred,
Is a most auspicious circumstance. The ex
planation is to be found in the'fact that their
attention has been aroused to the great com
mercial truth that the shortest route to
the Ocean from the West is on the
direct line to this city. In the activities
and competitions of trade, advantages such
as we have indicated are controlling, and
the enterprising and intelligent busineas men
of Cincinnati perceive that to secure these ad-
vantnges for themselves will place their city
above the riva'ry of others now successfully
competing with her.
The - Radio at Sxmatobs is Caucus.—The
Radical members of the Senate met in caucus
on Friday last, on the reconstruction ques
tion. It was agreed that the disfranchising
sections should be rejected, and the balance
of the proposed amendment to the Constitu
tion adopted. Upon the matter of confirma
tion or rejection of the Presidential appoint
ments. the moderate Senators agreed that it
would be ruinous to carry on the warfare al
ready inaugurated in the executive session,
and that if the Senate persisted in rejecting
good men, whose loyalty and integrity was
nnimpeached, the Republican party would be
weakened, if not ultimately destroyed. This
view of the matter, it is stated, seemed to
have the preponderance, but final action was
not taken, and the caucus adjourned to meet
again on Monday next.
Oub correspondent, who was on the steam
boat Planter at the time of the occurrence,
gives a statement of the affair between that
boat and the steamer Fannie in our river a
few days since. We have heard a very dif
ferent version of the matter, and in giving
onr correspondent’s description of what
transpired as seen from his standpoint,
we must disclaim all intention to do injus
tice to Captain McNelty, who is entitled
to be beard before the entire blame is thrown
upon him. We know not whether any bacf
feeling existed between the officers of the
two boats, nor do we know the true cause of
the collision; bat we do know that it is not

understands the navigation of our river suffi

weeks on official business,
is a re-action in political eeali
States. He was surprised' to 'fi
unanimity in U T <* of the President-
' c Charleston, Monday, May 28, 1866.
Having re-visited Charleston, after an ab
sence of five years (with the exception of a
period of a few days in the summer of 1864),
I am induced to jot down some of the 'most
remarkable objects and events that may be
worthy of record and communication. I
have been a pretty constant resident of the
city of Charleston for a period of sixty-five
years, where I arrived from Savannah, in the
year 1796, and left in April, 1861, during
which time I have witnessed many important
changes in its commerce, business and popu
lation. There are many things that I would
willingly forget, the recollection of which is
poignant and bitter, among which is the loss
of many friends, almost all of them my
juniors, leaving my contemporaries, “like
angels’ visits, few and far between. ” There
are some other matters connected with asso
ciations that revive pleasant memories.
There are other things again that I would not
willingly let die, so bright are the hues.they
reflect, and to which I would assign a perma
nent record, if possible, as meriting preserva
tion, and which time is rapidly harrying to
that stream of oblivion on which is borne the
general current of events.
I have stated that I arrived in the city in
the summer of 1864. My stay was brief, W
it is impossible to give expression to the
mingled feelings of sorrow and desolation at
the then aspect of Charleston—the ravages of
shells upon the fronts of elegant residences
and stores in which had been heard naught
but the sounds of hilarity or of business—
the grass and weeds in the most frequented
streets reaching an elevation above the head,
the crumbling walls, and the long stacks of
chimneys, the effects of the recent destruc
tive ’fire. 1 repeat, it is impossible to find
language to delineate the impressions pro
duced from the contemplation of this scene
of desolation. The Federals had ceased to
throw shells into the city for some days, and
the few fiends who • remained within
its limits appeared to cast an increased gloom
over its shattered habitations and ruined
walls, I quickly returned to Savannah.
Those who are able to recall the images
that thronged the mind in the summer of
I860, during the attack of Fort Sumter, when
the flashing of guns and the booming of’ can
non startled from their slumbers the citizens
of Charleston—those that are able to bring
back the train of associations which gnided
that brilliant spectacle when the east and
south battery was crowded with beautiful
women, and the long array of gay carriages
and music and conversation blended their
attractions, in the cool of the evening, as
they took their way for nearly a mile in suc
cession; but, particularly, those who can re
call the bombardment of Fort Sumter, can
never be oblivious of that scene when the
combat drew crowds from the most distant
parts of the city to witness the fight, the
whole eastern face of the battery lined with
anxious spectators following the ricochetting
of the balls, with flashing eyes and excited
tones—who, we repeat, can recall these cir
cumstances with any other than feelings of
sadness in the contemplation of the present
aspect of the city, and at witnessing the con
trast presented after five years of a desolat
ing war. not only in the present stillness and
solitude of the scene, but in the social revolu
tion that has blasted the fortunes and marred
the prosperity of those who now move over it.
Let us, however, dismiss this unpleasant
phase of the subject, and record a few of the
particulars of a siege and conflagration with-
1 out a parallel in the history of the world,
when so much that was left standing by the
ravages of shell and shot was consumed by
the flames.
Commencing from the Battery, and pro
ceeding down East Bay until reaching Tradd
street, the destructive course of the shell
thrown into the city was most evident, while
the fire has left melancholy traces of its de
structive course on both the eastern and
western portions, crossing its entire width,
and leaving long intervals of desolate waste
in the destruction of churches, theatre and
public hall. The area consumed was about
one sixth of the city, nearly one mile in su
perficial extent. It is, however, gratifying
to perceive that no part of the handsome
western suburb, commonly designated as the
Rutledge avenue, and the houses to the west
of it down to Ashley river, have been-injured
by fire or shells; and it is no less a subject of
congratulation that improvements are in con
templation among other portions—the erec
tion of a hall, a theatre and several commo
dious stores, with the widening of streets,
which will greatly add to its embellishment
•nd renovation. The following is copied

THE RADICAL PRESS AND IRCHR-
TARV STANtfON.
It Is aMuing to observe the attempts of
some of-the Radical newspapesB to. reconcile
Mr. Stanton’s late speech to a serenading
party at Washington with the; Viewft held by
the Radicals in Congress. Chagrined at the
supposed defection of one whose loyalty they
dare not question, not a few of them assert
that the serenade was originated by the
President, himself,, for the purpose v of
king out” the members of .his Cabinet who
had not distinctly', defined their - positions
upon the matters at issue between thh two-
wings of the Republican party—that is, to
make them show their hands; and. they do
not hesitate to characterize it eg '“a dirty
trick of malignant ..efibmies, putting on [the
garb of a friendly compliment to fore e^ the •—
suspected members of the Cabinet to expres
sions ofofnnionDn political questions 1 'that
would furnish Mr. Johnson the opportunity
to dismiss them.” This ridiculously absurd
idea of unfairness op the part of the Presi
dent shows with what intense disgust the
enemies of reconstruction view the late
speech of Mr. Blanton. It is reasonable to
suppose that the Johnson Club,” under
whose direction the serenade waa given, is
not composed of men so devoid of intelligence
as not to know perfectly well what they were
doing, and what manlier of- response they
would receive from the prominent gfcntlemen
they honored.- If they had desired certain
of the Cabinet dismissed they would not have
made the opportunity for them to make re
sponses to their music favorable to the Presi
dent's policy, as was the case with Mr. Stan
ton, against whom it was alleged the con
spiracy was concocted. The leading Radical
paper of Ohio, evidently alarmed by this un
expected development at 'Washington, and
unwilling to part company with Mr. Stanton,
commenting upon his speech, says: .
Mr Stanton stated that he was not convinced thpt

BEFORE THE MON. JOHN ERSKINE.
from the Charleston News, as presenting an
outline of one of the contemplated improve
ments: ' - —
“A Laudable Enterprise.—A number of
our public-spirited citizens contemplate build
ing a handsome block on the square bounded
by Meeting street, Qneen street, King street
and Holbeck’s alley. This bloek is to be ele
gant, and, as far as practicable, fire-proof;
the centre to be laid out as a public garden,
with pleasure-walks, shrubbery, fountains,
etc. Connected with the building, and sur
rounding the garden, to be a colonnade, sur.
mounted by a good promenade.
“ The first floor of the block to be divided
into sikty spacious stores, opening on the
adjacent streets, and also on the colonnade
and public garden within. The second floor
will contain forty-seven stores, opening on
the promenade. On this floor will also be
located a spacious opera honse, assembly
rooms, and other places of public resort and
innocent amassment. The third floor will
be surrounded by a spacious gallery, and will
be appropriated to society and Masonic halls,
academies of art and design, photograph gal
leries, etc.
* ‘It is further proposed, on the completion
of the buildings and grounds, to transfer the
latter to the city.”
Freedmen’s Bureau Again.—A bill has
been introduced into the House contin
uing the Freedmeris Bureau for two years.
The bill protects freedmen and refugees, and
directs the appointment of two assistant com
missioners ia sddision to those now author
ized, who shall have charge of certain dis
tricts. These cnmmissiooersAOd thsir subor
dinates shall be under military jurisdiction
and military protection. No person shall be
deemed destitute or deserving of assistance
who has capacity and opportunity of work.
For the pupose of making the Bureau self-
sustaining, the President is directed to re
serve from sale or settlement under the home
stead and pre-emption laws, and assign to
freedmen and refugees not exceeding a mil
lion acres of Sand In Florida, Missisaippi,
Lousiana, Alabama and Arkansas, to be al
lotted in parcels of forty acres each, at a cer
tain rental. Tne rental will go toward tbe

mm—Sir FrederickBrace has conveyed to Mr.
ard the thanks of himself end his Government f
We have published in full the arguments
of counsel in this cause.
On the opening ol - the Court yesterday,
His Honor stated the case as follows:
Exparte William Law, Petitioner.
On the first day of the term a motion was
made by Mr. Law for leave to show cause
why be ought to be allowed to continue to
practice iu tills Court without being required
to take and subscribe the oath prescribed by
the Act of Congress, passed January 24,
1665. Leave being granted to show cause.
Mr. Law showed that in December, A. D.
1817, be was duly admitted and licensed to
practice as an attorney, counsellor, proctor
and advocate of this Court; that he was,
since 1859, attorney ol a record in a case
now pending before this Court; that he had
taken and subscribed tiie amnesty oath; and
that beiog within the 13th exception of tbe
President's Proclamation of May 29,1865, he
applied tor, and-had received from the Presi
dent of the United States, a grant of pardon
and amnesty under said proclamation; that
he had duly accepted the special grant of
pardon, and filed in the Clerk's office of-this
Court, an authenticated copy ot the same
His Honor then remarked briefly that tbe
matter before this Court is under advisement
in the Supreme Court of the United States
the highest Judicial tribunal in the land
and when their decision is pronounced, it
will thenceforth govern this Court. He said
he would merely- announce the judgment of
the Court this morning, and at a future day
would deliver an opinion on the questions of
law regularly arising ia the case.
In the course of hie remarks the Judge paid
a handsome complement to United States
District Attorney, Col. Fitch, and concluded
by saying three of -onr most learned and emi
nent jurists had contended against the con -
stitutionality of the statute, and those aigu
menta had been replied to by the District At
torney in an argunment, distinguished for its
originality, and characterized by the graces
of tbe accomplished scholar, and .the unmis
takable ability of the thorough lawyer
The Judgement of the Court was as fol
lows :
“Upon argument had on the said mo
tion of the petioner, Mr. Law, and after tall
consideration of the matters of fact and of
law involved in the motion, it is ordered
and adjudged by the Court that the act ol
Congress, approved January twenty-fourth,
eighteen hundred and sfxty-five, no far as it
was intended to apply to this case, is re
pugnant to tbe Constitution of the United
Statas.
“Motion granted."
Hon. Wm. Law, Ex Gov. Jos. E. Brown
(of the Northern District,) and Hon. Thos. E.
Lloyd argued against the constitutionality of
the act. *
U. S. District Attorney Col. Henry S.
Fitch, in favor of its constitutionality.
The Bankrupt Bill.—-The new bankrupt
bill, which bas passed the House of Repre
sentatives, and which it is believed will be
sanctioned by the Senate, provides that the
District and Circuit Courts have jurisdiction :
that any person owing debts over three hun
dred dollars filing a petition of inability to
pay and willingness to surrender his estate,
shall be adjndged a bankrupt, and a warrant,
issued for the sheriff to possess till an as
signee is appointed. ’The duties of assignees
are defined. It provides for examination be
fore court of tbe distribution of the estate,
creditors to share pro rata without preference,
except wages to clerks and operatives under
fifty dollars a month. The order in divi
dend is: first, tbe costs of the Courts;
second, debts to the State and Bute assess
ments; third, wages ; fourth, debts having
priority by law. It provides also for dis
charge from all debts after compliance, and
provides punishment for fraud. Seven days
confession of judgment, and fourteen for
commercial paper, shall be an act of bank
ruptcy. Hie act tokea effect for officers after
