The bill now pending in the Senate for th- establishment of a Police Court im this Instrict 4s the subject of discussion in police circles, and it is argued that some of its provisiors are defective, if not ampracuicadle. This Court will bave cognizance of all United States offenses, and all warrants issued by justices of she peace for such offenses are to be retarnable to it. The pumber of warrants issued daily is from fifty to one buudred, and the amount of work which would thereby be imposed on the | Court (consisting of one judge only) would be | much larger than he could manage. Last year. of the i834 arrests made im the District, 7,400 were for United States offenses—an ave- rage of 22 per day, which would rather over- task & singie judge. Another objection urged ts that im many cases the Court being held at one piace) prisoners would have to be carried (wo or three miles: and as police officers are often witnesses in cases, there would be times when. for this reason, portions of the District ‘Would be left entirely unprotected. A bill was introduced a year or two ago ix | Congress establishing a Police Court of three justices, who should singly hear a!) cases at, the station-houses, the prisoners having the | } right of appeal to the three justices suiting tu banc one day in each week. Some such pro- | Vision might obviate the objections to the | present bill. | ‘The Supreme Court of the United States has just rendered (wo important decisions on ques- nised by the Iaternal Reverne law tax- ing ipcomes. In the first, that of ime Pacific Mutual Insurance Company against Soule, the | points settled are. That the tax on incomes is aduty orexcise,and nota direct tax within the meauing of tbat clause of the Constitation requirmg direct taxes to be apportioned accord. ing to population; and further, tnat incomes in com may be reduced by the Assessor to their value im currency, and assessed at this latter | value. Im thesecond ease, that of the Northern | Central Railway Company against Jackson, at ts Beld that as the law now stards owners of railroad bonds, Jona fide subjects of a tors ein Government, are entitled to receive their | coupons in full, without sabmitting to ths de. No opmion is expressed as ty whe a} could pot be amended ¢o as to tax uon-resident foregners.

E. Morgau,a |} @ Public spirited citizen, who takes mack interes: in tbe prepcsed Southern Maryland Railroad, to the effect that the Wasbington subscriptions should be applied to building this emd of th- road. He says: «This railrond, it commenced at Point out. may be finished to FE: mtersects with the Baltimore rond, and the fands being exhausted, Batt- more, and not Washington, may receive ail the benefits resulting trom its construction. In order to avoid this calamity, and secare beyond doubt the trade belonging to us, | propose that the subseriptions of our Corporation and our viso that the cor of the road at the Wrsbington terminus, or that our money shall be used ‘the road trom Brandy wine to Washington. If the road is commenced at Washington, ea as finished, can ve section, made profitable by at once ranning cars on it. and thus opening the country to trade, and affording tactlities pot otherwise attainable for the transporation of the heavy material neces- sary for its construction. Ifcommenced at the Point Lookou: terminus, it cannot be beneficial or profitable until completed to Brandy wiue or Washington.and tt may take several years to accomplish tbat end.” We should be glad tosee our City Councils taking steps for a city subscripiton to this Toad, either by asking Congress for the right to do so, or by the other recourse of submitting the question to a yote ofthe people. In build- ang other rords, the sir line road to New York for ins‘ence, the capital would be promptly forthcoming, probably altogether withou: | help irom the Corporation, but a local road 1 ke this will bave to be built by the communi- tes mainly to be benefitted, i.e. of lower Mary- wud and this District. Our business men must stir themselves, for the construction of this road vitally affects ‘iy interests, brimging the custom of southern jand «zclusirely to their counters.

They bad asserted belure tne peo- pie Inst fail that the suffrage question was to be Ieft to the States, and they had carried the elec- tion on that pledge, and now this was the way they were to fulfil that contract.

H- moved to postpone the consideration of his mo- tion until to-morrow, after the reading of ihr journal, The motion of Mr. Ingersoll was then adopt- ed and the two witnesses were taken into cue- tody from the bar of the House by tne Ser- geant-at-arms. The House then resumed the consideration o: the bill to authorize the construction of a brid across the Counecticut river. The bill passed, Mr. Cook (111) Jrom the Committee on Roads and Canals, reported the bill to authorize the building of a military aud postal railroad from Warhington, D.C, to New York city, ‘with amendment. Mr. Cook said he presumed that it would be admitted by every one that the proposed rail road would be of very great advantage t. ihe Government and to the public. When the capital was threatened. not long since. tt was teen how utterly inefficient tor the transport of troops and munitions of war the single road BOW existing was. It could not be successfally denied that the constraction of an air line road trom Washington to New York wouldas legiti- mate an exercise of power to provide for the common defence, as the casting of cannon or the establishment of magazines. The propo: Toad was necessary in order to secure the trans- misston of the mails. It wasin the power of the managers of the existing line of roads to cut off all postal communication between Washing - ton and New York. The proposed road wus also necessary to relieve commerce from the burdens imposed upon it by State legislation. The State of Maryland required one fifth of the amount received tor transporta- tion through the State to be paid into its treasu:y—being now thirty cents for each passenger between Baltumore anc Washington. So the State of New Jersey re quired the payment of ten cents per passenger, and fitteen cents per ton of merchandise carried by railroad through that State. He alluded to ‘the fact also, that within a few months pas persors passing along the existing route hac been violently assailed for their political views, and beaten and outraged. He weat on to argue the constitutionslity of the measure. He did not see bow any distinction could be made Detween the power to widen and deepen a river tor the benefit of commerce, and the power to construct a raircad the same purpose. The end sought in either case was the same, and the exercise of power was the same. If Congres: might deepen Lake St. Ciair, it might con. struct a railroad around it, if the interest: of commerce could be thereby better served It was too iate now to question the power ot Congress to create avenues of commerce that did not exist efore. In this connection, Mr. Cook presented a tabu- ations made by for works of internal improvement last forty years. + the other to the bar etinz only lar statement of the approp’ Con; merce ated rae ng be yore _ ge jated ‘by monopolies, w: er by the amount of capital ‘at their command. ‘The details of the bili had been framed with stock, to prevent heavy chargeetand ve preeen' . vy 5 prevent ann delays; aid it was confidently be- lieved that oes woskanan would be Date it the bill became a law, and that a speedier, cheaper. and better communication would be between Washington and New York.

Bonds on its line as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about $26 500 per mile, according tothe difficultie- encountered, for which the Government takes » fecond lien as security. Whether subsidies are given toany other companies or not, the Govern ment will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Bailroad Comreny. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to which the Company will be entitled have already been delivered. FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AT PAR. By its charter, the Company is permitted to is- sue ts own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same smount as the Government bonds, and no more. These Bonds are ® First Mortgage upon the whole rosd and all its equipments. THEY HAVE THIBTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER OBNT., and both PRIN AL AND INTEREST ABE PAYABLE IN GOLD. Such secarities are generally valaable in propor tion to the longth ef time they have to run. The longest six per cent. gold interest bonds of the United States (the 1's) will bs dae in 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they hed 30 years to rum, they would stand at not less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should spproach this rate. The demand for Buropean investment is already considerable, snd en the completion of the work will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF THE BONBs. It ueeds no argument to show that a First Mort ly railroad connecting th: Atlantic avd Pacific States is PERFECTLY skCURE. The enure amount of the mortgage will be about $30,000,000, and the Interest $1,900,000 per annaw in gold, The preeeat currency cost of this interest is less than $2.100,000 per annum, while the gross earnings fu- the year 188, FRUM WAY BUSI NEbs only, on AN AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILKS UF KOADIN OPERATION, WERF MOBE THAN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, ‘The details of which are as follows: From Passengers.
