FoDrnory 8, 1809. COJBGRESSHIEN aND CORRESPOSB- EBITS. We have not noticed before Hon. John M. Broomall’s undignified and untruthful attack upon the newspaper correspondents in Wash ington, because there have been more itn "portant-subjects-to-diseusßi —But-it—will not he just to a respectable body of journalists to permit this libel to pass without any com ment. In substance Mr. Broomall said that correspondents who remained in Washing- ton two .weeks became thoroughly corrupt and unworthy of credit, so that he would not believe them on oath ; that they were wri ters of sensational articles, and that he deßlred their abuse rather than their praise, because “to obtain their praise would give the public good ground to suspect his own honesty.” If Mr. Broomall’s assertions are correct, it is very much to his discredit and to that of his colleagues that the entire newspaper frater nity in Washington was not long ago repudi ated by Senators and Representatives. In stead of this we find that the correspondents are upon the most intimate and friendly terms with Congressmen, and the Utter are so ex ceedingly anxious to propitiate the libellous wretches, that they have provided places for most ..of them in the various committees. Considering then the intimacy existing be- teen the two classes of men, It speaks very badly for the demoralizing influence of Congressmen's society that a youug man is corrupted by it ‘‘in two—weeks. ’ From the pains taken to win the smiles of the correspondents,it is very evident that Hr. Broomall’s confreres do not share his anxiety to escape praise. Indeed, we fear if news paper men did not give reputation to Con gressmen, the number of those who have any would he very small. It is very likely tnat if any extended misrepresentation bas been in dulged in, the criminals are men who tried to give fame to Congressmen who could not win it with their own brains. Perhaps con- jsciousnesß of this inspired Mr, Broomall to declare the journalists mendacious. As he himself has uniformly been well spoken of by these fellows, whom he would not believe under oath, we are entitled to consider Mr- Broomall a very greatly over-rated man. It is his own theory and self-estimate, and he knows best. But if these things are true, why did not Me. Broomall tell us about them before? In les t than a month he will retire to private liter and during the whole term of his official ex istence he has been conniving at the false - hoods and swindles of a set of arrant knaves. He has crept over on this very bridge, and only now finds it to be a very dangerous structure. He has no more favors to ask of the correspondents; no further occasion to re quest a few lines in reference to his native ef forts to unearth frauds, or in allusion to the splendors of his eloquence, or hinting at his Machiavellian sagacity. That sort of thing is all over; and as there is no need to flatter ne concludes to curse. We do not wonder that he iB sick of the sycophancy which distin guishes certain Congressmen; respectable journalists were disgusted with it long ago; but if be hated it, why wait to say so until the last hour of his term? Death-bed repen tances are always liable to suspicion. Bnt if he is sincere,we are indeed sorry Mr. Broom all is forced to leave. If he could only stay now and begin a reform, so that correspond ents would be compelled to tell the whole truth about the doings of Congressmen, it would be a good thing. There would be enough startling sensationalism then, and the House would have a much less respectable reputation. The fact is, however, that Mr. Broomall is entirely wrong. Hie sweeping allegations ■were made in the warmth of passion, and they are as unjust as such charges generally are- The majority of the newspaper correspon dents in Washington are respectable gentle men, quite the equals of members of Con gress in social position and in acute intelli - gence. It is an error to suppose that these men are placed in the capital to hunt up sen sational subjects and to fabricate reports. They are deceived and mistaken sometimes in their efforts to fnrnißh news, but they are expected to procure facts and nothing else. These alone are desired by respectable news papers; and the correspondents of such sheets who are detected in persistent falsehood, ia the gratification of personal malice, or ia serving selfish interests,will very finely bo dis charged w iLhout any hesitation. There are ’ of course, scalawags and bohemians among these men, just as there are vagabonds in every profession —just as there are thieves in Congress. Mr. Broomal! make 3 the grievous and common mistake of estimating a whole cltibb Irom the character of its worst mem bers: just as silly people libel the clerical prolctbion whenever a black sheep is discov ered in ibe flock. About the only class with which this principle will hold good, even partially, is that to which professional politi cians belong; and it muy be that Mr. Broom all’B habit ol judging these in this fashion led him to apply the theory to the correspondents. It will cot answer. IAIILE&I'V VIViVtUTS, It is reported that the National Lincoln Monument has progressed so far tual the models for the colossal statues of Secretary Stanton and Bishop Simpson have been c im plied, It is a national misfortune that this plan for a monument to Abraham fine jiu has Been adopted, and Congress, or ,vu a ver has control of the mutter, would do well, jjtven BOW, to give the subject a sober second THE DAILY EVENING BtfILETIN-^aiLAPli thought. If it is necessary tab the paying.of due honor to Abraham Lincoln that he Bhould be surrounded by the statues of distinguished living personages, then the selections that have been made are as good as any others. But there, is no such need. Abraham Lincoln stood alone in life, ditdhe should stand alone in death. He was great, not by virtue of what he' borrowed from Stanton, or Simpson, or Stuart, or Grant, or any one else, but simply by virtue of his own strong individualities and his own great work. To surround his monument with the statueß of a few of the leading men of the war, yet living, Is a double blunder. If it is supposed that this tableau jjivant enhances Abra ham Lincoln’s glory, then it must be ad mitted that it requires or is capable of such enhancement, which the popular estimate of his character and public services does not justify. If, on the other hand, it is merely a cheap method of erecting statues in honor of these living characters, —a clever Yankee notion, -b-y which ' soldiers, philanthropists, statesmen and divines are to be conglome rated in one monumental pile at a wholesale price—then the blunder is still greater. Each of these men now stands at —the —besd of Bis own peculiar class ; but by this short-sighted device lie is to be dwarfed into a position subordinate to Abraham Lincoln, and arranged as a figure in cur National tableaux vivants, upon a common level where Grant, the soldier, is to be compared with Simpson, the divine; Stanton, the War Minister, with Stuart, the Christian Commissioner ; and so on through all the list of six-thousand dollar celebrities whose enthusiastic friends may chooße to el - evate them to this mid-way pinnacle of But the gteatest blunder in this whole plan is in making statues of living men at all; and the greatest wonder of all is that ei.her of these gentlemen will accept these ante mor tem honors. No man’s record is complete until he dies,and no man’s monument should be reared,until that record is complete. We cannot suggest any lapse by which Grant, or Simpson, or Stanton, or Stuart are likely to tall from grace. It is very far from likely that they ever will. We believe in the per severance of our patriotic Baints. But the principle is all wrong, and wid be so ac knowledged after this monumental blunder is past curing. One Btep farther will carry these tableaux vivants into the region of ad vertising, and we shall have our public men’s monuments enriched with the statues and cards of those enterprising men who have already impressed theif names upon the public mind, by means of the stencil-bru3b, upon the imperishable rocks. If this intrusion upon the grand solitude of Abraham Lin coln's greatness had been done by the gen tlemen themselves, whose statues are to de corate this monumental pile, we should caU It want of modesty. As it is done, not by them, bnt by their admiring, and, in this case, over-enthusiastic friends, it can only be set down as unwise, in very bad taste, and a very bad precedent. B\K!.OW 081 ‘1 HE sqtlABE. Among the powerful arguments which were brought forward on Thursday last, in Select Council, against placing the public buildings on Independence Square, perhaps none were more powerful than those of Mr. Barlow oi the First Ward. Desiring to be impartial on this and all other subjects, let us give Mr. Barlow the benefit of his cogent reasonings. Mr. Barlow had been in favor of Independ ence Square, a month ago. He had drawn a beautiful picture in his imagination, which seems to have been a sort of reproduction of the Central Fair Building on Logan Square. There was to be a vast building, which Bhould be one-story high, occupying no space and not interfering with any of the “beau tiful trees,” much less with those exquisite architectural gems, the Mayor’s Office, and the Philosophical Society’s building. From this Utopian vision, j the imaginative Barlow has been aroused, nobedy knows exactly how. lie has dls- ! covered to his horror, that the buildings are ! to be only one-story high, worse than this, j some of the trees are to be cut down; but j worst of all, miserable man that he is ! the buildings, —yes, the very Mayor’s Office itself, even the cell of Haggerty, and the Hall of the Philosophers, are to be torn down ! Bar low seems to have been mercifully spared the thought that that Paradise of the law-seeking community, the old Court House and the new Court MoDßirositv, is to be trodden down of these Gentiles of the Building Com mission. That would have been a drop too much. The cup of Barlow’s bitterness would have overflowed, and who would have answered for the consequences ? With such powerful arguments as these, it is no wonder that Mr. Barlow changed his mind, and as he now beliovcs that the Build ing Commission seriously contemplate cut ting down some of the trees, instead of Build ing around them, we are not surprised that he is in fuvor of Penn Square. He considers the Penn mightier than the sward of Inde pendence Square. We are glad to learu that Messrs. Caldwell A Co. have determined to procure the ser vices of a number oT scientific gentlemen to make a complete and thorough investigation of the causes of the recent fire. Every effort to ascertain the origin of the disaster has hitherto proved fruitless, and this movement has been made, with the approval aud assist ance of Messrs. Howell & Bro., the Messrs. Orne, and Fire Marshal Blackburn, in order to solve the mystery il it can possibly be done.

It was at first supposed that he had a large sum of money In his possession, and vagao fears were entertained that bo had been foully dealt ■with; subsequently, however, the money ho was supposed to have was foaud in his trunk.

A considerable amount of currency changes hands from day to day by conversion into Government bouds, the de. maud for which at home has been stimulated by largo shipments tor Europe. There is an Improved call for money, also, for business purposes, as many of our merchants are beginning to move in their prepaiatlons for the opening of their spring trade, but the comfortable condition of the banks and the large amount .of currency floating on the market enable borrowers who are in good standing or ave claims for favors, to obtain all they want on reasonable terms. The bulk of tho discounting is done at 7 per cent, on the street, but in many cases lowor rates are freely accepted in heavy amounts or on firstclass busimes paper of very abort date. The volume of first class paper la greater to-day tbao for some time, borrowers ap. pearing disposed to provide for an anticipated stringency in the market previous to the first of April, by borrowing on sixty days. In all cases where outtdde paper is offered individual lenders continue to scrutinize closely tho character of securities offered. We quote call loaus at 6 (36 per cent, on Government bonds and 6@7 per cent on miscellaneous securities. Outside transactions were done at 7(46 per cent., aocordtng to grade.

Remark able. not that the parties were unworthy of legis' lative clemency, bnt bccanso of the color of the Bkin, which, bad it beon known to our wise Solons, would have kept this couple husband and wife. The discovery ofthatfact caused con siderable excitement and amusement to both .members of the legißlattiro and outsiders. Sarah A. Anderson, a very worthy colored woman, had beon deserted by her husband for a number of years, he haying become addicted to intoxication and other, vices of the times." She, like otheninfortunatG women in the Bamo con .(litionjin life, applied to the Legislature of her native Btate for a decree, not very herd to obtain, to dissolve the marriage lie thon existing be 'tween'her and the faithless husband. . Her caso was undertaken by a young Wllming- lon lawyer, who .drew up tier petition in avory , shrewd manner, omitting to mention (intention ally, of course) that his client waa possessed of a dark skin,which,in a Delaware Demo cratic Legislature, is an unpardonable offence. ■ Hm .application to be restored to the joys of (•ingle-blessedness once more,was considered and debated ; upon,. by the assembled ‘ wis dom of our State, and , pro nounced worthy of favorable consideration, passing through both Houses with a unanimity ’ ajmost.unparalleled. no one in" either House,‘or! even in the town of Dover, with the exception of; ypnr correspondeint, knowing that the parties jHBt divorced were colored people. Ob, horror I what was the consternation anti chagrin of the members to find ont that they who bad been sent there to legislate for white people, had really dotio an act of justice, and had di vorced, as some or them said, a couple of nt S9 er> ’ Some laughed, and others swore, while Mr- “liver, a young bachelor on the Com ■ rniitco on Divorces, and who had all along voted for every case brought before the House, mbved a- reconsideration of the Vote by which,tho two darks bad* been so inhumanly and surrepil- Uctsly{torn asunder, stalimr that if this vote was not reconsidered, all the Niggtra in the Btate would be junnlng therefor a divorce. Some thought, that it would bo manufacturing powder and ball for their political op ponents to reconsider the vote., while others, seeing the precedent which was abont to - be established, and no doubt somewhat influenced by progress of liberal ideas, con tended that there was no good and valid reason why colored ptoplo should not be_divorced froai_ the bonds of matrimony with as much good sense and propriety as white people. Mr. BUver’s mo -|jpn tO-ieconeider. receiving but-fonc-yoteSr-ihe- Honse refused to reconsider the vote to again JoJin Sarah and Josiah into one flesh, and so the pre cedent is now firaly established in the Demo cratic Legislature of Delaware that colored peo ple have rights which not only the people but Le gislatures are bound to respect Another instance is also worthy of note as a mark .of the onward progress of events and the obliterations of antiquated landmarks. On Thurrday, in the Senate, a memorial signed by 600 colored citizens of Delaware was presented by Senator Jackson, praying for the passage of a law to tax them for school purposes. re ception was strenuously resisted, and by a bare majority ot one,was referred to,a special commit tee. The reception of the memorial in the House was unresisted, and without opposition it was re ferred to the Committee on Education, of which Dr. John A. Brown, formerly of Rhode Island, is chairman. 3:30 O’Olooli. its nexi By way of explanation, I would state that as the laws now 6tand no provision is made for the education of colored people, their persons and property being exempt from taxes for school purposes, hence the propriety of the introduc tion of the memorial asking tho privilege of the benefits of public schools for their own color, kept up by taxes upon their own property. We shall watch with interest the course of legislation here, and keep you apprised, from time to time, of transpiring events. I. E. WALRAVEN.

HUfilClAt. 1,000 MILES OP THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD ARE NOW COMPLETED As eoo miles of the western portion of the line, begin ning at Sacramento, are Also done, but 267 MILES REMAIN To be Finished, to Open the Grand Through Line to the Pacific. This Opening will certainly tako plaoe early this season. Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acre* of land rer mile, the Company is eatitied to a subsidy in U. 8. Bonds on its lino as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about $36,800 per mile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which the Government takes ; a second lien a a eeourity. Whether subsidies ara given to any other companies or not, the Government wiilotfnp-'v ply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad \ Company. Nearly the who!c amount of bonds to tl’ e Company will be entitled have already been delivered. FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS AIT PAR. its charter, the Company la permitted to leans Its FIBST MORTGAGE BONDS to the tame amohnt aa the Government Bonds, and no more. Theee Bond* are a Ftret Mortgage upon the entire road and all ita equip-- menfe. THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO RUN, AT SIX PER CENT., and both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD. Such lecnrittes aro generally valuable In proportion i© the length of tlmo they have to ran. The longest six per cent gold interest bonds o' the U. 8. (the 'Si's) will be dno In 12 yean, and they ore worth 113. If they had SO year 4 to run, they would stand at not lees than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgago Bond like the Uhion Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European Invest ment is already considerable, aud on tha completion of the work will doubtless carry tho price to a large pre mium. SECURITY OP THE B&NDS. II needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,R00 per mile upon what fpr a long time must be the only railroad connecting the Atlantio and Pacific States is pkiikeotlt seoubr. The entire amount nf! the mart* gage will be about 830.000,000, and the interest $1,600,000 per annum in gold. The present currency cost of this in terest is lees than $2,600,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the yoar XB6B, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERATiON, WERE MORE THAN FIVE MILLION- DOLLfI.ES, The details of which axe as follows From PafßCDgers ** Freight *' Express M Mails “ Miscellaneous *’ Government troops ** •* freight ** Contractors* men “ " mates i 01... This large amount h only an indication of the immense traffic that nrußt go over the through line Inn few months, wht-n the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It Is estimated that this buslna«B must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR.
