The National Hank Qncstion. Tns recent letter of Mr. Jay Cooke upon tlie national banka Las at least served the useful purpose of furnishing the public with au thentic data concerning the system and iu trorkings, and of thus paving the way for a jnore intelligent appreliensiou aud discussion Of the whole subject. It U to be regretted that Lis letter haa not been more generally discussed In the came broad and candid manner in which It was wiitten. A subject of such maguituie Can only be properly contemplated In a wide and liberal view. A captious criticism of mere details, and the fixing upon incidentals as though they were essential?, is not the right way to tr at a subject which involves Buch vat aud varied interosts, and is so thoroughly bouud up with the welfare of the tthole country. Still less proper is it to treat It from & partisan standpoint. The question lias nothing whatever to do with party politics. It is one which equally affects all parties one In which all the people are interested. The national banking system was never adopted as A partisan measure, has never been sustaiued and is not now advocated as such. It must Ptand or fall solely by its own merits, as a safe and efficient means for securing those great publio ends which are sought to be obtained by banks in all civilized countries. There are really but three practioal solu tions of this question: First, to go back to the old State bank system, which prevailed before the war; secondly, to abolish all banks of Issue, and to either have no paper money whatever, or else to have it issued exclusively ly the Government; or, thirdly, to maintain the present system, with such modifications and improvements as time aud experience may Suggest. Let us consider these in their order. First. Bhall we go back to the old State bank sys tem f The strongest proof that such a course of action would not be desirable is found in the fact that nobody urges it. In the whole country we do not know of a single journal, or of a single individual of prominence enough to attract the publio eye, that advocates a re turn to that weak, wasteful, unsound, and vexatious system; and for this very good reason, that the people have still too vivid a recollection of its evils. The State bank sys tem was a distinct and different system for each of the States. Each State had thus its own kind of ourrency, and frequently several Varieties under these different kinds. Thus, New York had her old special chartered banks, lior safety fund banks, and her banks of more rtoent date organized under the Free Banking law of that State. Each State had Us own laws in regard to the formation of tanks, the issuing of currency, its security, and its redemption. In some the system wa3 well and fairly guarded; in others it was las and fraud-inviting to the last degree. The result was, so far as the whole country was concerned, a currency which utterly failed to meet the two vital requirements of soundness and of uniformity of value. Vermont currency was not good In Missouri Missouri currency was not good In Vermont. The traveller, the merohant, the drover, the general business man, were each at the mercy of the money-changer. We have seen the bills ' of the State Bank of In diana, which always paid the gold for its issues, dollar for dollar, refused from a tra veller by the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company. The whole business of the country was laid under an onerous and vexatious taby the want of uniformity in the currency. Added to all this was. the fact that the failure of a bank instantly depreciated its cotes from five per cent, down to absolute wortblessness, thus entailing severe and unlooked-for losses on the holders, who had received them in the ordinary course of trade. In times of panio and crisis down went the banks by scores and by hundreds some never to redeem their currency, others only in part, and after a long interval. Mil lions upon millions of dollars were thus filched from the pockets of the people, without the hope of remedy or redress, until it seemed as though the currency of the country had been specially invented to impede business and to rob the people. We have no doubt that twenty millions of dollars yearly would have failed to cover the direct and incidental losses Bust&lnel under the State bank system. Now, compare all this with our present sys tem. A national bank bill, no matter where Issued, is good from. Maine to Texas. The money-changers' occupation is gone. Busi ness is relieved from the vast inoubus of un- ourrent money. The failure of a national Lank involves no depreciation of Hb notes. They pass current as before. Contemplate this significant iaot, mat during the entire period covered by the existence of the national Lanks no man has mi a mnyte cem on metr issues We have au absolutely safe currenoy. Another hardlv less significant fact is that, although the national banks have been in existence for four ears, durinir which time the country has aHd from war to peaoe, and gold has fluctu ated from almost 200 per cent, premium down to 2!)a condition of affairs that would have sent hundreds of old State banks to the wall nlv nine of the national banks have LUtea and those without a cent's loss to their note holders. Ia view of such facts M these of what THE DAILY EVENiNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 18GT. the old State bank system and its fruits were, and of what the national bank system and 1U fruits are it is easy to see whg nobody pro poses to go back to the State bank system. Shall we, then, in the second plaoe, abolish all banks of issue, and have only gold and silver, or paper money issued directly by the Government? The bullion theory we need not discuss, because nobody advooates it. It is evidently impracticable. No civilized nation gets along without some sort of paper money probably never will. We are thus left to the alternative of a paper currenoy issued directly by the Government, or to one issued substantially as under our present national banking system. We have not sufficient room in this article for the discussion of this very important and interesting ques tion. We shall have subserved our main design if we have succeeded in calling the at tention of our readers to the true issue involved. We have shown that it is morally impossible to go back to the old State bank system, and that it is equally impossible to have a pure bullion currency. We must, then, either main tain our present system, with such modifications as experience may show to be necessary, or we must invest the General Government with the sole and entire control and management of all the currency of the country. This latter alternative raiaes all the questions which were so profoundly discussed during the existence of the United States Bank, and which were, at that time at least, authoritatively settled, and by so unanimous a publio judgment that they have never been revived until now. Perhaps that verdict may now be reversed. Perhaps the people are prepared to put into the hands of the Government a f ower over the private interests of every citi zen more vast and varied than any it has ever hitherto wielded. At least, it is well that the issue should be distinctly stated aud under stood. The Italian aud French Imbroglio. Affairs in and about Rome grow more com plicated. It seems to be conceded, at last, that the French troops who lately landed at Civita Vecchia have occupied Rome unop posed. Garibaldi still remains with a large force at Monte Rotondo, where he has in trenched, and watches the situation. But the most important news is that the occupation of Rome by the French troops ha3 been fol lowed by the calling out of the Italian Reserve, the Italian Prime Minister advising their ad vance into the Papal territory both as de manded by the dignity of the Government and by the violation of the September Conven tion on the part of the French. It is added that Prussia has pledged herself to support Italy, and, for the first time, the depression in monetary circles gives evidence that the peace of Europe is imperilled. Napoleon has pro posed to submit the Roman question to a vote of the people of the Papal States; but this the Italian Government declines, as the inte rests of the whole of Italy are involved. Evidently, the Italian Government is noi willing to see a French army once more take up a position of permanonoe in Rome. It lias labored to preserve the temporal power of tho Pope in accordance with the September Con vention, but it is not willing that France should assume a position which gives her a foothold upon Italian soil, from which she niay operate at an advantage against Italy iu the struggle for Rome which sooner or later must come. It charges that the entry of the French into Rome is itself a violation of the September Convention. The vital point in the whole affair is the atti tude of Prussia. Italy alone is in no condition to cope with Franoe, but with Prussia as an ally the case is altogether different. If Italy shall at once assume high ground, and shall ii siBt upon the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome, we may be pretty Bure that the Governments of Italy and Prussia are in thorough accord, and that the long-looked-for struggle between Franoe and Prussia is about to commence. The French Emperor is not unmindful of the situation, and his intimacy with the Emperor of Austria shows that ha is desirous of assistance from that quarter. This Roman affair may prove the oocasion for the commencement of that great contest which, ever since the Prussian triumphs of last year. has appeared inevitable. Should that mighty struggle really begin, the fate of Rome would be one of the smallest questions involved. Voting in Virginia. Tub old fable of the wolf who charged the lamb with fouling the stream, when the lamb was drinking at the river below him, is illus trated in the bitter and vengeful curses which the Virginia Rebels and their Northern allies are heaping upon the blacks of that State for refusing at the late eltction to vote the con servative ticket. Because the colored Lcitizens of Virginia would not vote to disfranchise themselves; because they would not support the very men who have ground them beneath their heels all their lives, and would gladly do it to-day if they had the power; because they would not go for a party which, not only in Virginia but all over the country, seeks to ostracize and persecute and degrade them, whioh treats them not as men, but as beasts; because, in a word, they cnose to vote for a convention, and for their friends and not their enemies as members of it, forsooth they have inaugurated a "war of races," and have doue divers and sundry other terrible things, for the particulars of which consult the New York Herald, or any other "conservative" organ. Now thiB is all arrant nonsense. The oolored oitlzens of Vir ginia voted to hold a Convention for the framing of a Constitution and State govern ment, and in this they showed more sense than did their opponents, who voted, In effeot, to remain under a military government which they ana uieir party are never weary of denounolng M the very aom ( despotism. The election ef a Convention is the starting point towards organizing a State government, and getting back into the Union. But the RcMa are determined to have all or nothing. Rather than havo all the people take part in the Government, they prefer to stay under military domination. Nor is the line distinctly drawn between the races, as the conservatives are so desirous of representing. The official returns of the vote show that 14,S'2,' whit citizens nearly twenty per cent, of the whole number voted for a Convention. This is. the nucleus of a great aud powerful party in Virginia. Its numbers would have been vastly larger had it not been for the social ostracism aud persecution visited upon every white man who would not Fiibmit to the dictation of the nlfl oligarohy, and who had independence enough to vote a Republican ticket. The Convention will be hold iu Virginia. The radicals have a decided majority in it, and we confidently expect that they will use their power moderately and wisely. Had the conservatives the same power, they would dis franchise every colored citizen without hesita tion or remorse. We don't expect a similar exhibition from the radicals. We do not desire them to follow tho infamous example of Mary land in the Constitution she has just adopted f the votes of her conservatives. We expect to seo a free and liberal Constitution adopted by the Virginia Convention, one which will put the conservatives to shame, and will tell upon the public sentiment of the country in favor of the Congressional plan of reconstruc tion. Tho Pennsylvania Constitution, barriug its disfranchising features, is a good model, as indeed, with similar exceptions, is almost any of the old Constitutions of the Rebel States. As to a "war of races" that is all moon shine. The old Rebel element is doing its best to bring one on, but it can't succeed as long as General Schofield is in command. The cry is raised by such papers as the Ilr.ruld merely to affect the November elections. After they are over we shall hear no more of it. The Two Itoutes to the Pacific. It is essential to a correct knowledge of tha condition of the Union Pacifio Railroad as an investment, that our readers should have a distinct idea of the difference between the two routes, the merits of which are very different. One, the Union Pacific Railroad proper, has progressed with great rapidity, and, under a most able and energetic management, has already got over five hundred miles of its road laid. Of this road John J. Cisco is treasurer. The other is the tfnion Pacific Railroad, East- cm Division, or Kansas Brunch, and is a very different affair. It is under the agency of Fisk & Hatch. Of its road not three hundred miles are yet constructed. It is against it that Messrs. Ross and ethers have applied for au attachment, because of the alleged illegality of certain of its directors' transactions. This branch is iu no way connected, either in loua tiou or management, with the Union Pacific Railroad, so that its difficulties cannot in any way affect the company of which Mi'. Cisco is treasurer. We would impress on oar readers the difference, as the great advantage of au investment in the Union Pacifio might be placed in a false light by the misfortunes of its namesake. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Tbe available means of the Union pacllic Hail road Company, derived from the Government and its own stockholders, may be briefly summed up as follows: (.--United States Qonds, Having thirty years to run and bearing six par cent, currency Interest, at the rate ot (10,000 per mile for 617 miles on the Plains; then at the rate of Jlfl.ooo per mile for 150 miles through the Rocky Mountains; then at the rate of f 32,000 per mile for the remaining dls. tance, for which the United States takes & second lls.n as security. Tbe Interest on these bonds is paid by the United States Government, which also pays the company one-half the amount ot its bills in money for transporting Its freight, troops, mails, etc. There, malning half of these bills Is placed lo the company's credit, and forms a sinking fund which may dually discharge the whole au 011 tit of this lien.

The Union Pacllio Railroad Company has a land grantor absolute donation from the Government of 12,800 acres 'o tbe mile on tho lino ot the road, which will not be worth less than $1 50 pur aero at the lowest valuation, 4."Tho Capital Stock.

TO IIUII Contracts for the entire work of building 914 miles cf lir ;t class railroad west from Omaha , comprising much it the most d iilcult mountain work, and em bracing every expense except surveying, have been made with responsible parties (who have already finished over coo miles! at the average rate of sixty eight th' usand and fllty-elght dollars (f;n,0M) per mile. This price includes all necessary i-hops for con struction and repairs of cars, depots, stations, and all other incidental buildings, and also locomotive, pas senger, baggage, and freight cars, and othet requisite rolling stock, to an amount that shall not be loss than ouo per mile.

FlTlltE IlLSLNEVN. The most skeptical have never expressed a doubt that when the Union Pacllic Rallrcad is finished, the Immense business that must flow over It, as the only railroad connecting tbe two grand divisions ot the North American continent, will be one of the wonders Of railway transportation; and as It will have no competitor, It can always charge remunerative rates. Tbe Pacllio Mall Steamship Company, of New York, Is n iw running a regular line of its splendid steamers between Ban frauoisco and China aud Japan, which Is doubtles Ihe pioneer of olher lines that will tra verse the Pact Ho Ocean laden with the teas, sploes and other products of Eastern Asia, Excepting some very heavy or bulky articles of comparatively low values, shortness i f time decides the direction of freights, and most of these cargoes will ilud their natural transit over the Union Pacifio Railroad. It is quite within bounds to say that Its tralllc will be limited only by tbe capacity or tbe line, and that no other road will And a double t rack so necessary. O IfO'Ula aud Oregon must not only be supplied with meat sof transport for their passengers, mail, treasure, and other freights, but tbe inhabitants of Dakotah, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Montana will communi cate with tbe older States almost entirely by this road. It will be tbe avenue to all the great mining district, which Is only waiting this ready means of communication to receive a population that will de velop its vast mineral and other resources, and which, of itself, would furnish ample business for a railway line.
