tnasmucn as this law of Congress removes this whole business of the civil rights of citizens of the United States from the State legislatures and courts to the federal courts and civil and military authorities. The question thus presented to the local au- thorities and responsible citizens of the South- ern States is, whether they shall acquiesce in this law of Congress, or adhere to their local regulations in regard to the civil rights of their black people and risk the consequences. Their ~only course of safety is acquiescence in the law until the Supreme Court shall have declared it votherwise. A graceful submission to the law ‘will immensely strengthen in the North the -claims of the excluded States to a voice in the legislation of Congress; while the opposite course of resistance to the law will correspond- ingly strengthen the radicals in their game of ‘the continued exclusion of the States con- cerned. The President has no alternative in this matter. He is bound to “take care that ‘the laws be faithfully executed.” The local authorities and people, therefore, of the Southern States, if they desire to aid the President in his generous efforts in their behalf, ‘wil throw no useless obstructions in the way of this law, but they will let it take its course. In this way the radicals of Congress will soon be left without a plausible excuse for longer refusing the right of representation to the ‘States shut out. Let no further regard in the ‘South be paid to the vicious counsels of seces- sion fire-eaters, for they are the wicked leaders tte whom the Southern States and people are indebted for all the disasters of their late rebel- lion, and to whom the Northern radicals are indebted for the power which they now hold in the general government.

MISS LUCY RUSHTON’S BENEFIT. ‘A complimentary benefit for Miss Lucy Rushton has "been arranged to take place on Wednesday, the 18th of April, on which occasion the beneficiary will appear in ““‘As'you Like it,’ supported by an excellent company of sartistes engaged expressly for the representation. Al- though not entirely successful in a financial point of wiew, there are few who will not concede that Miss Rushton has a share of dramatic talent, and that she is possessed of great energy and peyapverance and has done her best to amuse the public, Had sheselected some of her subordinates with more care the result might have been far more satisfactory to herself. She thas lost much money in striving for success, and now comes before the public in an endeavor to retrieve a portion of the deficiency to her private purse, Her -frionds in the city will certainly see that she is nof com- pelied to ask twice, by making her drst benefit prove re- smunerative, ES MISCELLANEOUS. ‘Miss Laura Keene terminated her season engagement ‘at tho Academy of Music, Providence, R. 1, April 11.

The house was crowded every evening during Miss Keeno’s performances, but the building could scarcely contain all who came to seo her on the concluding days. All the ordinary seats were jammed, chairs placed in the aisles were filled, and many remained standing to the end, Miss Keone acted brilliantly, and was never in better voice or a happier mood.

Brady, of New York, has publisied an attractive novel entitled “Thornton; or, The Younger Brother.’’ As its name indicates, the story presents « picture of life and society among tne niger classes of the inhabitants of England. It is conveyed in a very in- teresting shape, the book being evidently written by one well qualified to treat the subject. “Leighton Court,” a gountry house story, bas issued from the press of Ticknor & Fields, of Boston. It is written by Honry Kingsley, the author of “Ravenshoe,” the “Hillyars and Burtons” and other Stories. The scene ot the present book is laid in a beau- tifully romantic spot in England, the characters are ably dravn and the narrative ts exciting and well sustained. “flonor May” is the title of a very sweet novel, descrip- tive of American life, just published by Messrs. Tickaor & Fields, of Boston. Messrs, T. B. Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia, bave issued a volume named ‘The Man of the World.” It is from the pen of the late William North, a man of ‘vorsatile talent and a keen observer of kindred humani- ty, who, after battling with what ho came to rank as an ‘unappreciative community here in New York, committed suicide in the month of November, 1864 When be lay dead in bis rom a bottle Iabelled “prassic acid’ stood on the table near the last pages of the work now printed. Conceived and completed under the circumstances in whieh the author lived and died, “The Man of the World,” if regarded as a faithful portrayal of life, tn the popular acceptation of the word, in the great metropolis of the Umon, is certainly not a cheering story for the pbilanthropwst. It may, however, be a very true one; and, if 80, proves that society in this city is constracted, in many of its parts and phases, in a manner but little known to its higher and church-going classes, The “Adventures of Reuben Davidger,” printed by ‘the Harpers, contains the experiences of @ man who was held captive among the Dyaks of Borneo for almost eighteen years. The author, James Greenwood, conveys duis experiences in bis usual lucid style, The work is well and amply illustrated. ca “Civil Theology and an Opening of Heaven,” in one volume, has beew printed by Leonard B.

It appears probable that an adjournment will be agroed to next week, either Thursday or Friday. To-day com- pletes the hundred days. THE BROADWAY RAILROAD SCHEMES, The salient feature of the morning was the levee in the lobby, where Judgo Hilton marshalled his Broadway veteran reserve corps. There appeared Wm. B. Astor and A. T. Stuart, Mr. Tiffany and Wm. Black (Ball & Black), B, L, Soloman and Mr. Davison (of Haughwout's), Simeon Leland and Jobn Sloan, with a tail of minor nebulm. ‘We had also here ex-Mayor Gunther and his successor, Mayor Hoffinan, with a crowd of city officials, which would seem to indicate that the city government had been suspended, These accessions are drawn here by the city railroads and the tax levy. The Broadway prop- erty owners do not cxhibit their customary strength, as, indeed, thelr opposition would seem to be very greatly weakened from {ts immense power as exhibited here- tofore. The domonstration was, However, very Positive, and especially as against the underground and tho elevated roads. These being new and lees understood, seemed to engage most of tho attention of the visitors. Senator Low, chairman of the Committee on Railroads, being called out, held a protracted conver- sation with. the delegates, He said that, viewing all sides and arguments, he was compelled to recognize the necessity for some road being granted, Messrs, Stuart and others then suggested the schome, which proposes to take the houses along ® route and run throagh the blocks, providing for an underground surface, elevated steam and cross-town branches. Senator Low said that such @ project had engaged as sirong an opposition here as any of the other plans, and that any plan must meet opposition from property owners, ome plan must be adopted for the accommodation of the public, and some Property owners would inevitably complain. Additional raliroad accommodations, he maintained, were indispen- sable, and should be conceded. He did not indicate which plan he would report, nor did the property owners manifest any other view except that the lower part of Broadway should be sacredly reserved for private car- riages and pedestrians only. THE STKAM TRANSIT ROAD AND ITS MILLIONAIRE BACKERS. In the Assembly this morning the bill providing for the city ravtroad scheme which the Broadway millionaires endorsed as above, was recommitted, and in effect thereby killed. This is of a piece with the usual reception which these well-meaning gentlemen get when they come here. It is among the little drawbacks which they must put up with as tie compensating penalty for their aMuence. In the discnsal on which happened to be ap while they visited the Senate gallery, regarding a canal clatm of a certain Mra, Watts, it was amusing to note the of the nature of their andience.

Aunaxy, April 11, 1866, INTERESTING PROCERDINGS OVER THE OROADWAY RAILROAD AND THR NIAGARA ANP CANAL ‘The Senate chamber and the Court of Appeals ebam- ber were respectively crowded this afternoon. The dologation of millionaires appeared before the Senate Railroad Committee in opposition to the Broadway rail. roads, In the Court of Appeals room heavy delegations from Buftalo and Oswego were crowded to hear the encounter between the two champions of the legislative ring, Gover- por Alvord and ex-Speaker Littlejohn, who were arrayed for and against the Niagara ship canal. Governor Al- vord has proved to be the only person able to cope with Littlejobn in debate on this subject. His position ax Lieutenant Governor precludes his voting or speaking in the current business of the Senate, and his appearance before the committee excited a good deal of interest. Littlejohn had the opening sod closing remarks, ex- Senator Prosser and H. & Cutting, of Baffalo, with Gov- ernor Alvord, making the opposition apeoches, Littlejobn maintained that the original object In build. ing the Erie canal was not the revenues, but the com- morcial advantages to be derived from the enterprise, and dwelt at length upon the principal arguments ad- vanced by bim in the Assembly during its passage there. Governot Altord took bis ground upon the great com- mon Interests of. the State in its principal commercial avenue, tie Erie canal, regardless of the interest of any locality, and equally beediess of the interest of Buffalo or Oswego. He reviewed the development aod enlarge- ment of the Erie canal, showing that this canal bad at ail times more than answered the demands of the for- warding interest, and that its capacity was now, and would’), ample fors vastly greater commerce doring many years to come. He reviewod the proposed subett sates, the Niagars and the Ottawa canals, showing (he fetting and lmprobability of the latter, and the jnex pediency of the route for which a charter war solicited, He exhibiied the evi's to be apprehended by the creaton rect hore, Med to Judge, Milton, of a duplicate canal route through the State, It would weaken and diftuse the means which could be made to ‘enlarge the locks and prism of the Erie canal, and only distract (rade and disturb it in its established channels, natural features of the great routes of re onie tempting sete ‘capes with, the com ir capabilities wi great Righwor? between the Alloghanies and the Seattered mountains of the North in this State. He reviewed the carry! rip tracting folly of this Niagara project should destroy those facilities. The only object which could be ration- ally aimed at by the scheme was to benefit the Canadas the expense of this State, or turn the commerce of the an See the Hudson river ae Bae York ety British hands, and control subjects and British trade, is speech wasthe first effort which fairly rivalled the power and information which Littlejohn has brought to the advancement of his pet scheme. Alvord’s speech was altogether the most finished, earnest and able made subject here this session. In the Senate chamber the regular annual Broadw: Rajlroad debate was duly opened by Colonel Van Buren and William Richardson, each in favor of the underground railroad in Broadway and the surface and croastown bills, The room presented the animation of a large and prerely a distinguished thi of spectators. The interest of the occasion ob- viously the new projects of underground and elevated roads. Wm. Ward spoke in opposition to the surface road, making quite a spicy expdsition of the tive per cent given to the city and the limitation of the grant to thirty years. He said the bill was most skilfully drawn avd intended espetially to cheat the Governor Noble, of Wisconsin, ; peared in favor of the elevated corrugated road. He made a ringing speech upon the merits of the bill and the ex; cy of the scheme, answering most inceni- ously the many objections which have been advanced against it. His reply to the position taken by the pro- perty owners from the point of view of the public de- mand for some railroad on Broadway was very strong. He pitched into the millionaires and tho selfishness of the! the most trenchant manner, who took sides with him, it was evident that their apprebonsions are mainly excited by the underground He went over the familiar arguments so often made against the old plan ofa road on the surface, which he said he had met and defeated, here and in the courts, for fourteen years. He ted his regular offer to buy the grant, which formerly was five millions dollars, ‘but which he now puts at two millions for the Broadway bill and one million for the crosstown grants. He soon returned to the underground and the elevated roads, denouncing tl preposterous nuisance, and an utterly impracticable chimera, He made a most telling point aga'nst the underground by exhibiting the danger, in a season of apprehended pestilence, from opening up the earth and sewers along the streets in which it was to be built. The public parks granted in the bill, without rogard to their being pledged as a security for the city debt, he proved to be not less than six milltons of dollars 1m valuation, He would have this grant put up at public auction to be given to the highest bidders. Colonel Van Buren challenged him to make a bona fide offer for the grant and agree to build it, which Mr. Stew- art declined, Wm. B. Astor, who sat in one of the reporter's chairs, rose and said he endoreed what Mr. Stewart had said, and — he was opposed toa railroad on Broadway in any form. Wm. Ward rose, and, in reply to Mr. Stewart, said that gentleman had alluded to bis having been for soveral years soliciting a Broadway railroad, and that he wel- comed his conversion to the opposition; but the fact was that he had not b-en so converted. He was firmty of opinion as to the necessity of such a railroad made a telling and thorough exposition of those - ties. He opposed the grant in its present shape, but be knew that it was a wrong and an injury inflicted on York city to deny to its urgent necessities a proper grant Judge Hilton took up the subject, made an able and elaborate review of all the schemos, the gist of his remarks bearing necessarily upon the new schemes for an clevated and the underground project. He took up Craven's report, sustaining its views, and made ase- vere and damaging impression against the tunnel in any dir, Vandenberg, the engincer, whd has advanced the in connection with Jocl Wolfe, re- or father to Craven's re- Per against the measure. His vindication of ‘he practicability of the project and the importance of ite wime loft the impression that he had decidedly the boat of the argument as far as gelence woht. Colonel Van Buren repeated bis to Mr. Stew. art to make a bid and guarantes to build the underground railroad, and taunted Judge Hilton with disingenuous ness in advancing an offer for any franchis» which he knew the constitution did not admit of being treated or ai of im such a manner. ir, Ward seid Mr. Stewart's offer could as eafely and reasonably be placed at fifteen millions as three. D. D. Conover asked to be heard for a grant of a road on Lexington avenue, without the Broadway ; which re- quest was received with shonte of laughter. The chairman then adjourned the committee without day. When altereations between Van Buren and Hilton and betwedn Vandenberg and Stewart were progressing, there was a clear indication that the Broad: property owners are direct'ng their opposition ial against the underground road. They seem to be just waked up to the danger they are incurring in this and the new-fangled scheme of an rated contrivance. Asay, April 12, 1866. RETURN HOME OF THE OPPONENTS OF THE BROADWAY RAiL- ROAD. The delegation of millionaires who havo been here in opposition to the Broadway railroads went home to day, rejoicing in the certainty that they had secured for this seasion the defeat of the underground project.
