That is to s if Washington gets her rail- road charters, she will have to fight her might to use them through all the Courts, up to the of the Waited States. But why should Ealtimore cousider berseif the special custodian of the Constitutton, and the special vindicator of State mighis! We do not hear this ontery from any other quarter; and we imagine that Congress will hardly be guided ly admonition or intimiasted by threats from that single pomt. II the knowledge of constitutional law is centered in Baltimore. omewhat ilogically the Sun eo earnestly to prevent us from getting thes» charters, is continually asserting that the roads will never be made; that we cannot raise the money to build them. Very well, if they never | will be built why need Baltimore fret herselt about the charters We sre sorry to see this spirit manifested toward us by @ neighboring city which has really @ substantial interest in the prosperity of Washington; and especially in its continu- ance as the seat of Government which, Senator Sherman tells us, depends solely upon our improving our rasiroad communications. We were told a few days ago, by a Baltimore poper, that the attempt now being made to effect a through freight connection through that city would be resisted im their courts. And yet the break of connection these parties in Baltimore propose to perpetuate is one of the greatest éraw-backs we bave to conteud witb. How it injures our prosperity has been shown repeat- edly im these columns; but if accumulative proof were wanted, it is furnished by such facts ax these set forth by a writer 1n this mora. ing’s Chron He says “The writer of this bad four car-loads of | ces sent to him last May from Cleveland, The freight trom Cleveland to Balti- while the freight from the ntral depot in Baltimore to the de. 5, or more than one-half of om Cleveland to Baltimore, more than twelve times as creat as Baltimore to Washington Washi a «ht coming over the J ohas to be prepaid in be forwarded by the a. chants here z azent in oF go over in person ard attend to pent of aul goods.

With this fact starmg bim in the face, does any one think that an increase of Tailway facilities would not materially reduce the cost of living at the Capital? Let our leg- islators think of this. ‘The proverbial uncertainty of the white man is curiously illustrated in the fact that while the New York Tridune, which assumes to be Par racellence the organ of progress, is in favor of abolishing the carrying of exchange papers ‘ree through the mail, the London Times, Which is in fact the organ of conservatism, eulogises the system as promoting the general diffusion cf knowledge. repent eis ‘We note with pleasure, as an instance of in- “ernational courtesy, that the Great Western Railwsy of Cauada has made a halt fare ar. rangement for the benefit of soldiers and others desiring to attend the reunion of the armies of the West, now in seesion at Chicago.

Other facts may possibly be developed, bat this isabout all the proofs obtained from first bands will show. Of course, inese points being established, the | important «uestion then arises: What use was made of the money paid directly to Mr. de Stoecki? This will probably never be satisfac tory answered. That gentleman is no longer | iu thas country; and, if he were here, he would | most likely plead the privileges of his official position, which would exempt him from being | called to the witness stand to reveal the State | secrets of his Government by explaining any of | his acts done ander its instructions or sanction- it is known, however, that a considerable sum was expended by bim in legitimate expenses tending the cousammation of the affair, The ankers’ commissions, with the cost of trans- porting the coin or procuring exchange on London, would of course amount to a pretty large figure; end, in addition to these items, there was one bill of over $10,000 im gold tor telegraphing by the Atlantic cable, which our Government retused to pay, that was liqui- dated by him. It is possible that the whole | sum received by Bim could be ‘atisfactor | accounted for, were Mr. de Stoeckl here, | disposed to make revelations; but, for the rea- ' ous stated above, the committee have nu men for compelling them.
