BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIO AWD OTHER MATTER. Senator Morton's powerful speech yesterday upon bis bill for the resumption of specie pay- ments is a general topic Of conversation. His plan as 8 whole and in its separate provisions ‘meets with sharp criticism, as any bill must that proposes to deal in a comprehensive way with & matter of such delicacy; but it is coa- ceded thar tbe exposition of bis views has done much to establish a groundwork for legisla- m. The maim objections we hear urged to bis plan by “nancial men are that it will not be practicable for the Government to accumu- late coin snfficient to redeem four hundred millions of its notes by July 1, i~7% and that | the three hundred millions of currency (aa- tional bank notes) not being redeemable until January) , Will be at a betvy discount, ering bem useless as carremy, to th Targement of the busigess of the country—that oy, the mathom bank bores would be ‘ortually thrown out of circulation, equivalent fo a contraction of three hundred millions of dollars, which 1 is comtended by the oppo- rents cf the Dill would upset the money mar- ket and cause 2 general crash. Governor Morten holds that the Govern- Tent cam Tesume specie payment on a small propertion of gold. When we orc + commence redeeming the greenbacks in gold, he thinks the public confidence im them will be such thst nobody will want the gold for them. Should this be the fact so fur as our own people is concerned, it is suggested that a | Sudden decline im the gold premium now would cause the foreign houses to come into the mar- ket as buyers, and drain the country of a larger amount of gold than the Treasury could employ for the purposes of redemption. This is argued from the fact that gold bas never fallen very rapidly here without cansicg considerable | ‘amounts of bonds to be re.nrned. Whatever objections haye been or may be urged to the details of Mr. Morton’s bill, it is evident that his views in the main are held by our leading financial men in Congress, as shown by the action of the Senate Finance Committee in reporting a resolution declaring ‘Sguunst the redemption of the five-twenty bonds Until the United States has performed its pri- | Mary duty of paying its notes in coin, and | Asserting that measures should be adopted by Congress to secure the resumption ot specie | payments st as early a period as practicable. The attempt has been made to put Mayor owen in the attitude of hostility to the eon. | strnetion of the Metropolitan Road, because of bis action in stopping the trench-cutting on First street. Those, however. who know how devout a believer Mr. Rowen is, and Jong has been, in Failroads as the great desideratum for Wash- ington, will not be apt to take stock im the idea Above referred to. But Mr. Bowen, as Mayor of the city, ts sworn to see its laws executed. | He cannot wink at their violation, or permit the nghts of any portion of the citizens to be ‘violated im favor of railroad imterests more than any other interests, An ounce of prevention i= ‘worth a peund of cure, and it isa much easier qnatter to cause a railroad track to be laid in | the start in a way not to interfere with the | growth and prosperity of the part of the city it crosses, than to remedy the evil after it has | ence been established. And first, we may say that it does not seem at all certain that the ‘Work on First street has anything to do with the construction of the Metropolitan road. Mr. | Garrett does not find it practicable or conve. | nient to corform to the grade of I street with his Baltimore branch, and he wauts to drop hat line of entrance to the city for that road, Ard come in om First street—that is, om the yonte of the proposed Metropolitan road. Whatever may be his ulterior purposes in Tegard to the construction of the Metropolitan road, it 4s pretty certain that bis immediat= object 18 to use First street tor a new route for the Baltimore road through the city to the Present depot on New Jersey avenue. Now, if the trains are to continue to come int» the city as far as that depot, we can see uo great Cbdyection to the use of First street asa track tor both roads—the Baltimore road aad the Metropolitan road. It is better, probably, that the working of both roads should be confiued to one street. as doing less injary to that par: of the city than if occupying separate streets. But the difficulty is in the way Mr. Garrett sets about bis work. After his imperious way he undertakes to completely igaore tue Corporation authorities, and the Corpora. | tion laws, and to dig and cut as if he was working in the open country. Without | deigning to confer with the city officers be commences, as has been stated, by digging | own into the street, already from six to ten feet below the proper grade, using the dirt thus obtained to build Bis road. Tne resultis that all travel on the streets imtersecting the Toad is as effectually cut off as ff a ditch and embankment bad bren especially constructed | ior that purpose. So far as we can judge, the | Gifficulty might have been avoided altogether had Mr. Garrett chosen to co-operate with the ity authorities; but the arbitrary and aggres- five course taken by him im this instance, as in the case of the I street grade, seems to hays eompelled the Mayor to take steps for the maintenance of the rights and authority of the city. According to the several correspondents ‘Writing and telegraphing from this ey, Mr. Caleb Cushing is a rather numerous individ- | ual, and badly scattered arouad just now. If they are to be believed,—and Heavea forbid they should not be!—he is at present on his ‘way to England, help Reverdy Jonnson eat bis Chr..tmas dinners and setrle the Alabama clams; to Paraguay, to bring Lopez to terms: to Spain, to buy Cuba; to Bogota, to get the | right of way for the Darien ship canal; to Cu- bs. to steal that island while the Captain Gen- eral and the rebels are fighting for it to Alaska, tosee whether we were swindled in buying that country; to St. Domingo, to purchase the Bay ot Samana; and to various other foreign parts too numerous to mention, bat widely separated, to attend tosundry little odd jobs in which the American Eagle is supposed to ave or want an interest. The result is that the public mind is exercised ina lively and perplexing and yet withal rather satisfactory manner: it has only to pay its money—or read its paper, rather,—and take its choice as to the Whereabouts and whatabou's of the missing statesman. The STAR might possibly throw a ray or two of Light on the subject, were it so disposed, bat 3t cannot except by Violating contidence and at ihe risit of defeating in a measure the purpose of the mysterious mission; beside, the bewilder- Ment is too enjoyable to be broken. At present» tbe most it can do is to wish ihe distinguished subject of the pother a safe return from nb: many-directioned jourmey, @ successful patting together of his segregated fragments, a speedy settlement of bis bill of expenses, and a happy deliverance from the thousand and one hungry Questioners who will ve batton-holing him when be gets back to find out where he has been, what he went for, and what he is going to do with it. ‘The question who shall be the Democratic candidate for Governor of Uhio! is already be- ing discussed, altheugh the nominating coa- ‘Vention does not meet. we believe, until June. ‘Vatil lately, Hon.

New York: Harper & Bros, In this book the author of “Stories of the Go- rilla Country” caters very pleasingly again for the young people, who will all be glad to renew their acquaintance with him. Admiral Farragut has declined the honor of & public dinner recently tendered him by many of the most eminent citizens of New York. The gallant old sea dog modestly places his declina- tion on the ground that the people of that city have already done him more honor than he merits, and that nothing they can do can add to the gratitude he now feels for their many marks of kindness and esteem. The Park Bank of New York has just moved into its palatal new building on Broadway, between Faltonand Aren streets. The edifice, Which cost $1,200.000, was bailt with the | surplus funds of the bunk, without touching the capital, and it is estimated that it will yield a rental of ten per cent on its cost, beside furnishing quarters to the bank free of charge. From J. Shillimgton we} ave the first nom. ber of Capt.
