WASHINGTON QITY: MONDAY...., JANUARY 14, 1867. “S27 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THE METROPOL ITAN RALLROAD BILL. It is well known that the animus of the Antellgencer im its warfare upon the Baltimore and Obie Railroad is personal, and that re. Gard for the interests of this community bas nothing whatever todo withit. The private disappointments of the Intelligencer must be bitter, indeed, when causing them t) go the Jength of opposing & measure of such import- @nce to the welfare of this District as the con- struction of the Metropolitan Ratiroad, sim- Ply because the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are to be the builders of the road. For montis tbat paper has suarled against the managers of thas road for not commencing the ‘work, alleging tnsincerity on their part, and that they did not intend to build it. Now that the company have made all their surveys and preparations, and announce their readiness to commence the work and push it rapidly for- ‘ward to completion, the Intelligencer tarns Around, offering the most rabid opposition to the improvement, and it is placed in the awk. ‘ward dilemma of not being able to offer a ‘Word in defence of its tergiversation. Its attempt at answering our article of Sat- urday, ia which we exposed the influences at ‘werk to defeat the railroad bill, is a mortify- ing failure for that paper. Not an allegation or argument advanced by us has it attempted to meet, bul it flies the track, and deals out a string of irrelevant commonplaces in regard to the Baltimore and Potomac raifroad. Now ‘We favor all efforts at rmproved railroad com! munications with Washington—Metropolitan, Air Line, Baiumore and Potomae, Point Look- out, and all; but we object to the Intelligencer’s bringing in its private griefs against the Bal- timore and Uhio Railroad to defeat the Metro. politan railroad, in the construction of which the Baltimore and Obio Railroad Company is but indirectly interested, while itis of the great” estimportance tothe people of this District This great benefit is now within our reach. Shalt we grasp it, and put ourselves in a way of entering upon a career of unparalleled bus- iness activity, or shail we allew aring of in- terested speculators to deprive us of the boos! ifthe bill is passed, the ratiroad eompany ‘will pat one thousand laborers, mainly of our own citizens, tmmediately at work at this end of the reute, and will commence running cars te Rockville and beyond as fast as thetroad 1s completed. The expenditure of the large sum of three millions of dollars within the spaceog forty-two miles from this city, cannot fail to quickenevery pulseof business here. These are but the minor ard immediate benefits to be derived from the constraction of the road. Its permanent benefits to the District are incalcu- Table. Shall its construction be entered upon, orshall it be defeated for the benefit of the epecuilators? The Inteiligencer disingenuonsly attempts to convey the idea that the United States Senate Das set on foot an investigation as to the Jegali- ty and policy of the ordinance which was adopted by tre First Branch of the City Conn. cils on Monday evening last.” All the founda. tion fer this allegation is that Senator Ramsey introdueed a simple resolution of inquiry, which was referred to tne District Committee, and rests there. Senator R. says that he knows Bothing whatever of the merits of the ques. tion, but intreduced the resolution as 3 matter of courtesy at the request of an individual who handed itto bim. It is not difficult to guess who tbat individual is. We presume that members of Congress will not be in a hurry to imterfere to compel the railroad company te @rop them when they come to Washington on the outskirts ot the city, for the benefit of our baekmen, orto compe! ail other visitors to Washington to pay Unwilling tribute to our Jebus. —_—_——_____ UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM MARY- LAND. There now seems to be no doubt whatever that Gov. Swann willjsucceed Hon. J. A. J. Cresswell as United States Senator from Marytand for six years from tne 4th of March next. There was an obstacle in the law re- Quiring one of the United States Senators to be taken from the Eastern Shore; bat it seems that a compromise was agreed upon in @ re- cent esucus of the Democfatic and Gonserva- tive members of the Legislature, the firet re- s#ult of whiek sction is shown in the p; by the lower House om Saturday of the bil repealing the law requiring one of the United States Senators to be a resident of the Eastern Sbore, and re-enacting it so as to take effect atter the Ist of April next. It was passed by ® vote of yeas 47, hays 24. All the Republican Members, together with the Democrats from Gecil county, voted against it. This will give the next Senator (the successor of Hen. Rey- erdy Jobnsom) to the Eastern Shore. The arrangement in relation to the represen- tation question, which is stated to have been agreed upon in caucas. is that Baitimore shalt Fetain her present delegauon, but that the Tep- Tesemtation of the Eastern and Western Shore counties shall be mereased fn this way :—To each of the counties now haying oaly one or two delegates an additional delegate is to be given, tus increasing the representation of the wo Shores in tue House fromm 19 to 3p, ana ef- Tectually neutralizing the increase of represen. | wtion given to Baltimore by the Constitation- | al Con vention of 1964. ‘The Annapolis correspondent of the Balti- more American says that back of the election of Sepator there is another qaestion that is disquieting the Democrats and Conserya- tives. it is understood that Lieutenant Gov- ernor Cox and his friends claim that Governor | Swanp shonid resign immediately on his elec- tion, and allew the Lieatenant Governor to at Once assume tbe position of Governor, and to make the appointment of State officers, some two or three hundredin mumber. “I¢is pretty ‘well known, however; that Mr. Swann intends to bold on till the 4th of March and dispense the Mate patronage himself.’ PUBLIC LAND TN COLORADO.

Patterson and Mrs. Stover, took place this afternoon bet ween the hours of one and three o'clock, aud not. withstanding the inclemency of the weather ‘Was attended by a large number of ladies and gentiemen. Among thoee present were Secretary Stan- ton, lady, and daughter, and Miss E. L. Staa- ton, niece of the Secretary; General Grant and lady and Miss Virginia P. Grant; Mrs. Secre- tary Welles; Mrs. Vice President Foster; Hon. N. P. Banks and lady; Senor Romero and Miss Romero; Hon. Montgomery Blair and lady; Key. Dr. Parker and lady, of Eugiand: Genera] and Mrs. Burton; General ©.C. Augur and lady; General Ricketts and lady: Mrs- A. K. Lo: wife of Colonel Long; Hon. J.S Black and lady; ex-Governor Brown, of North Carolina, and many others, among whom were the ladies of many Senators and Representatives, army and navy officers, and other distinguished persons. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover received their guests in the Red Koom or private par- lor. Both the ladies were dressed in a most becoming style, Mrs. Stover being attired ina pearl-colored silk, trimmed with black lace, and Mrs. Patterson in a chocolate-colored silk During the whole time they were surrounded by numbers of lady friends, and the reception was 8 most brilliant and pleasant affair. The repairs of the East room ha ving been completed, the doors leading thereto were thrown open, and during the afternoon the Toom was visited by many of the guests, who expressed themselves highly pleased with its appearance. THE TEST-OATH CASES. DECIBION BY THE SUPREME coURT. Associate Justice Field to-day delivered the opinion of the U. S. Supreme Court in the Missouri test-oath case; John A. Cummins, a Roman Catholic priest, who Was indicted for preaching and teaching without taking the oath prescribed by the constitution of that State, being the plaimtiff in error The Court decides the test oath in this case unconstitutional, being in the nature of pun- ishment witbout trial, and in its character ez post facta, and as a bill of attainder. The judgment of the court below is reversed, with directions that the plaintiff shall depart with- out delay. Associate Justice Field also delivered an opinion of the Court in the ex parte caseaot Garland and Marr, who, having taken a part in the rebellion, ask to be ré-admitted to prac- tice. Tbe Court hold thatas the statute im- poses & punishment which may not haye been punishable at the time the Oflbiige was com. Mitted, it is in its nature an ex post facto law. Attorn are not officers of the Waited States; they a ollicers of the court. ard hoid their offices during good behavior. The Court is not the register of the edicts of any other power. The applicants obtained a pardon from the President, which relieves from the consequences of offence and makes the eitizen in the eye of the Jaw what he was before it was committed. Congress cannot limit. The prerogaiive of meicy cannot be fettered by legislative restriction. It followed tbat the prayer of the petitioner must be granted. and also the prayer of Mr. Marr. The rule which requires attorneys to take the test oath must be rescinded, and the order is made accordingly. Asseciate Justice Field for himself, Chief Justice Chase, and A<socigtes Swayne and Davis read a dissenting opinion, remarking that practice in the court isa privi At- tormeys are subject to legisiation, t! ame as judges. The law makes no distinction, but requires all civil and military officers to take the same oath. Attorneys exert marked infiu- ence on the character of Government. If ail the attorneys in the South bad been faith- to their aflegicnce, as they were to swear, we should have spared the Rorrors of rebelfion. It was not claimed by the majority of the court that the law works attainder of blood; there- fore itis not bill of attainder, nor did it ap- pear it convicted any designated persons or punisbment. Persons who arrayed ves 1D Dostility te the Government, spe exe sid and comfort to the enemy. for- feited their right to appear in court, This was botacriminal but acivil proceeding, which menely affected private rights retrospecti iy. With regard to the Missouri case, the ques- tions involved rested with the State. The Uon- stitutional restriction that Congress shall make Ro Jaw abridging the freedom of religion, was notapplicable. Justice Story says the whele power was left to the State to be exercised ac- cording to ite judgment. The constitution of Missouri says nosuch personeas are described shall exercise their fanctions, unless they show their loyalty. Cases were,quoted in support of these points. THE DISTRICT IN. CONGRESS. Mr. Noell introduced a bill in the House to- day to amend the act “to regulate the elective franchice in the District of Cotumbia”as tol- lows :—“No person shall be disfranchised from voting or ineligible to office on account of sex, and ali parts of said act, of which this is amendatory, inconsistent with this act, are hereby repealed.” Keferred to District Uom- ee. Mr. Ingersoll p-ter introduced “a bill to incorporate the Washington and Georgetown and Sewerage Company.” It makes G. Shepherd, and others, ecorporators. The peontalnan ofthe bill seem tobe a good deal the same as those of the bill Tejected by the Honee at the last session. DEPARTURE Ov Gun. AUGUR,—General C.

Mr. Loan (Mo.) obtained the floor, and ad- dressed the House in support of the resolu- tion. The assassination of President Lincoln, he said, seemed at first to be the act of one mis- gnided man, but subsequent developmeats showed it tobe a deep laid eonspitacy. The Tebel cause had tailed on the battie-field, and the next move was to get Mr. Lincoln out of the way, and secure the succession to Mr. Jebneon, who was a Sopthern man and jocrat, and from. the late rebels ezpected fayors. He was elevated to the Presidency, and became a ready tool of the conspirators. The crime was committed and the way was Made clear for the assassination. A bullet was sent by the hand of an assassin who was impelled by rebel gold, and Andrew Jehnson was made President, and the price be had td ay for his promotion was treachery to the publican party, and fidelity to the party of treason and rebellion. Mr. Hale (N.Y ) rose to @ point of order, and said he upderstood the gentleman to charge President Johnson with compligity in the as. saseination of Mr. Lincoln, and thonght such remarks were not in order. The Speaker said the Constitution provided that the President conid be im; hed by the House of Representatives, and Mr. Kelso’s res. olution made certain charges, and it was the right of Mr. homer in speaking to the resolu- tion, to state specific acts. Mr. Wasbburn (Ind.) appealed from the de- cision of the Ghair in order to ascertain the eense of the House. Mr. Wentworth moved to lay tnat motion on the table. but subsequently withdrew it; and Mr. Thayer (Pa.) renewed it. The appeal was laid on the tabi: Mr. Loan continued his remarks and said the President had performed the part apon by bim, and new occupied @ position as the leader of the late rebels. The conspiracy had secured the E; Department in the interest of rebels, and efforts were now made to secure the legisiature aleo. Mr. Donn 4 ed that the President's efforts at reconstruction during the vacation, and Sis appoigtment- of rovisional Governors were usur- pations.
