Lt will be remembered that intima- tions have been given that the Secretary of State bas informed Mr. Motley, our Minister at Vienna, that the sailing of Austrian troops for Mexico will not be tolerated by this Govern- ment.

PABDONS ISSUED. ‘The President to-day ordered pardons to be issned to forty-nine Texans, under the first exception of the Amnesty Proclamation, as having heid ctvil offices under the so-called Confederate Government; three from Georgia, ten from Louisiana, and five from Alabama, under the thirteenth, or the $20,000 exception. All of these were recommended by the Gover- nors of their respective States. THE OAT UNDER ram wecat, it turns out that the big grimalkin under the meal of the Reconstruction Committee's report, causing such an especial grin upon the face of tad:calism in Congress, is the means it affords of k@eping Southern representation ont in the cold for some years, whereby the rads hope to perpetuate their lease of Congressional power for at least that length of time. soe ae alee INSPECTION TOUR.

Tne Commissioner of Agriculture has re- ceived jrom Honduras, Central America, a swarm of stingless bees. These bees are eusily swarmed, and are excellent honey makers. ee THE BAILBOAD CONNECTIONS WEST- WARD. Mr. Garfield introduced in the House to-day a bill to promote the construction of a line of railroad between the city of Washington and the Northwest, for national purposes. The bill enacts that whereas there is now a com- plete line of railroad between the city of Washiagton and Cumberland which is about being Shortened fifty miles by a line from Washington to the Point of Ro i where. as but a comparatively short ce be. tween Cimberland and Pittsburg remain to be completed to turnish a direct communica- ion by @ short and advantageous route be- tween Washington and Pittsburg and the Northwest; and whereas the Legislature of Pennsylvania bas attempted to create ina. pediments in connecting the railroads author- ized to be builtin Maryland and Pennsylvania; and whereas itis proper for military and pos- tal purposes, and rot acres d to facilitate and regulate commerecitl intercourse among the States. therefore the Pittsburgh and Connel- ville Company of Pennsyl¥ania, and the Pitts- bargh and Connel ville Company of Maryland ure authorized to complete and unite their re- spective works, so as to form a continuous line between Cumberland and Pittsburg. SPECIMEN CURRENCY NOTKS. AS erroneous statements in reference to this subject have appeared, we will state that in order to satisfy the numerous applications to the United States Treasury, for specimens of the different fractional currency notes issned by the Government, for cabirets and albums, & proposition is under consideration, which, it is expected, will be favorably decided, toprint the face of each note on one sheet and the back on another; and on the reverse of each halt note to print the word “specimen, bronze, which cannotbeerased. These notes it is pro- posed to sell for halt the price of the face, and redeem them, if presented, at the same value. 1tis believed that a considerable sum will ac_ crue from their sale. ee THE Canal IMPRoveMENT.—It will be seen by reference to our local columns, that the award for cleaning the western section of the canal has been made, and the work will be commenced immediately, to be completed within sixty days. The Mayor has succeeded in making the ni arrangements for this important work without being obliged to re- sort to aspecial tax to that end. tore XXXIXTH CONGRESS_FIRST SESSION. Monpay, April 30.
