ME&cm; PEONAGE and Indian slavery are said still to survive in New Mexico to such an extent that over 3,01 p ersons are supposed to be still held in bondage. The attention of Congress has . recently been called to the existing abuses, and it is not to be credited that some prompt re dress therefor should be refined. 1 THE Northern Payne Railway, from Lake 'Buperior to Pugetiti Sound, 1 flaying . already a land-grant twice as liberal 'as that given to the Union Pacific, is to be built with the proceeds of its own mort gage-bonds, the lands being the real basis of credit. A - similar policy was success ful withrthe Illinois Central Railway. CONGRESS stands in effect committed to the policy of an early completion of an enlarged canal at Louisville. \Voting $450,000 for this work, with $150,000 for the assumed debt of the present Compa ny, the General Government will now take ttie canal in its own hands, complete it without delay, and in due time will surrender it to a free navigatien.

QuEEN VicromA, in her speech at the formal opening of the English Parliament yesterday, congratulated herself and sub jects on the pacific stato,of affairS through out her kingdom. She looks for a Satis factory adjustment of the issueSpresented by the United States, and takes broad, liberal grounds in touching lupon the grievances of Ireland. Her imied smy pathy vrith the people of that pert of her domains, and desire to win back their affection and loyalty may have much effectin securing that reform in re ligions system so urgently pressed by such large Measea of distracted Ireland. AltOgether, 'the 4tieene? speech does ciedit to her head and heart. Alftw Yonx Jarrow , ' remarking that nothing will be done with tie Alabama treaty until atterMarch, adds: "This result will he doe , not ma mach to the conviction that the provisions of the treaty are bad in themselves, ss to the inclination in sundry influential quartmo not - to settle thos&ditibrences at all, bitt to keep them oven for such uses -as may offer hereafter.'?ct -In the meantime, public sentiment on either side of.the Atlantic is to bemused sad occupied witha clamor on non•essen tista.

Philadelphia. Their Academy has a membership of six hundred persons; a ;.library.of more than • twenty thousand ,volumes is freely at the 'service , of. all applicants, for study or reference; its museum embraces, through the labors and contributions of its members, and other individuals during t h e past half-century, the - largest and most valuable collection • 11178)33TRaH.. GAZETTE ,Tgro, FEBRUARY 1 of natural objects in the United States; and twice each week- these acquisitions are, thrown open for public exami nation without charge or hindrance. Unfortunately, the public convenience is restricted, the highly useful purposes of the Academy are obstructed, and its ex panding progress in the direction of a more general diffusion of knowledge in the natural sciences made next to im possible, by the need of suitable and spa cious buildings , to shelter the collected materials and such as should afford the desired increase of facilities to students or visitors. The latter already reach a number much beyond the public idea, no less than three thousand, three hundred and forty-seven persons having been ad mitted in a single afternoon of last week. The Academy is, therefore, raising a building-ffind of $150,000, of which two thirds are already pledged, and the donor of Penn Square long since provided a -suitable site, setting apart each angle for "buildings for public concerns." The assent of the Legislature to the use of that site has been applied for and will doubtless be given, slime the application is approved by the Philadelphia delega tion, whose judgment. ought to be deci sive in the premises. THE END, AND THE RECEPTION OF Ir. Some days ago it was authoritatively announced that, under instructions from the Attorney General of the United States, and in accordance with the Presi dent's Amnesty Proclamation, the Dis trict Attorney at Richmond had entered a noileprosequi in the indictments against JEWIFERSOII DAVIS and all the other rebel leaders. Even if the President had not issued his Proclamation of Aninesty, the end would have been the same. So long a space had elapsed from the termination of the actual Rebellion to the moment when the District Attorney was recent y called upon to takeaction, that any other disposition of the case would have been attended by mischievous general conse- quences throughout this country, and, in addition, would have shocked the moral sentiments of the whole civilized world. While Rebellion is, doubtless, a crime, according to the Constitution and the Laws, and must ever remain so, it cannot be rated' in .all respects as ordinary offences against the penal code. Espe-, daily is Vie so, when masses of people' are concerned in a revolt. Then other considerations than those which look upon particular actions as crimes necessa rily demand attention, and will ulti— mately be heard, having their due weight assigned them. Sentence of death or out lawry will-not, and cannot, be passed, in modern times, upon whole population's. Three years and more ago we were careful to maintain that, whatever might be the abstract conception of public jus tice as to the forfeiture of rights, either by individuals or States, by participation in the Rebellion, it would be found - most in judicious to enforce sweeping proscrip tions or penalties, and that the sooner the controversy could be closed out on con ditions favorable to tranquility for the fu ture, the better it would be for all part; and interests. These views we have sin reiterated as opportunity offered. Every month that has elapsed since the surrender of General LEE bas made it more certain than it was before that Mr. DAVIS would not be brought to trial. It was pal pable enough, from the beginning, to all men who did not allow their passions and prejudices to overbear their common sense, . 5,4, that if he was not promptly p oceeded against, he was in no danger hatever. Nay, as soon as the gust of in ignation aroused by the assassination of resident loriccoLn had so far . subsided . s to let reason exercise its function, it 1 as per ceived that the capture of Mr. D I Vas was a blunder, and that the martyr' quaint suggestion to General SHERMAN, a effect, to so search for him as to giv him a chance to escape, proceeded om the highest wisdom. _ • -The discontinuance of the pr cations against Mr. Detail and his assoc ates has Ul m been quietly acquiesced in by epeople. Indeed the public mind has en grad ually, but certainly, preparing for this result. Upon a calmer serve of the whole matter, much doubt has been felt whether a conviction could at y time have been secured if Mr: D.svis had been brought to trial before a civil tribunal; and then, for months past, th question haa been constantly pressing fo answer, ~ to what valuable end would a conviction Icontribute ? - When M.M i r. GREELEY went bail for Mr. I Maus jinilic excitement eonsequent upon I the Rebellion, had not so far run down 1 as to enable the loyal masses rightly to apprehend the whole situation. An in dignant clamor broke forth against Mr. GBXELZT. • Time has already vindicated him in the judgment of many; and will soon do lila the opinions of all. What i most needed is that the coun try should be tranquilized. But for Pres. I ident Jormsorr this work, instead of standing undpne, would to-day be accom. petted. He fanned the , embers of the old quarrel into lift, again, by inspiring hopes among the late insurgents which were defr i n ental to the public welfare and destined be disappointed. The elec. tion of G T and Coma' . showed how inadmpasib e and vain were the expecta tions and 1 ngangs that , had been engen dered. When the new Administration alien entetpon Its duties on the fourth day of ne xt month, the baleful influences tbat have hindered the genuine recon . struction of the Union will cease to operate, and the work will proceed to a speedy and happy consummation. TWO LAWIUL CURRE9SCIEL. The Supreme Court of the United States decides, but one Judge dissenting, let. That there are two kinds of lawful money in circulation; 2d. that both are legal•tenders ; 3d. that contract, for payment in either.' specificallY, are valid and must be enforced; 4th. that, when either is not specified, the judgment must also be without specification. Such are substantially the points of the synopsis, by telegraph, of the decision rendered on Monday in the case of Bronson vs. Bodes. That suit was brought on a contract made anterior to the suspension, of { specie. payments, bat which ,neverthelese sped- fled a payment in coin. The synopsis before us does not, however, `confine the effect of the decision to contracts of that date, but its terms are generally applicable, to all contracts dated - then or since paper was made legally' tender for the payment of debts. This decision, thus as we suppose cor rectly reported, relieves Congress from any need for the passage of an Act ex pressly legalizing contracts made specifi cally doin.payable. The pending bills for that purpose may now be postponed indefinitely. The step which Congress has so long hesitated to take in its legis lation, has, under this decision of the Court, become superfluous. No new law is needed, in this clearer exposition of what is law already. The right of citi zens to contract for payment in either coin or paper specifically is now estab lished beyond a doubt or appeal. The judgment of\the Court will have the effect to unlock the hoarded specie of the country, and re-enlist its use directly and actively in general business. Coin will be again used as a medium in mer cantile and financial transactions, and will be more and more demanded under contracts of all descriptions, anon the Supreme Court has thus vindicated the rights of property in its ownen, with the equivalent obligations of the debtor. Practically outlawed for seven years, a speck-currency has st last been restored to a legal recognition. It only remains now for the unwritten laws ot ; trade to de yekip the just influence which this-addi tion to our legally circulating Medium shallhave upon the financial condition of the country. ." Nor does the Supreme Court stop there! The constitutional validity of the ,Legal- Tender Acts is expressly affirmed. How ever the effect may be financially, the . Court expressly recognizes the paper medium and the coin medhumas equally lawful. The doubts heretofore expressed, touching the legality of a measure Which was in dispensible to the . finances and even to the very existence of the Repub lic within the past seven years, are thus shonfn to be without legal foundation. A question which involved the moat mo mentous consequences to the public and to individuals, is set at rest forever, and to the universal satisfaction. CHARLES R. BUCKALEW. On the fourth day of next month this gentleman will vacate the 4eat he has oc cupied in the Senate of the United States during six eventful years, and go into • that graceful and studious retirement which is congenial with his tastes and, culture. and in accordance with the de-. termination of the Democratic party, to which be belongs, concerning him. That he possesses unusual breadth and solidity of understanding, is conceded by his political opponents as freely as was ever asserted by his, associates and sup porters. To this natural endowment, ho has superadded a training more exact and elegant than'that which has fallen to the lot of most public men in this country. His bearing, moreover, is ffank,,, , manly, courteous and dignified, such as well be comes the high place he fills in the na tional councils. He is above pretensim and duplicity, caring to be rated only for what he is, and conscious that such ad. measurement is sufficient to gratify a rea sonable ambition. Nor is the mental side of his character the only one meriting special considera tion and respect. He is uniformly under the influence of strong convictions, with which he never trifles, but always follows wherever they may lead. True, his con victions have o ft en been at variance with our own; but ho has always borne him self so as to command the confidence and inspire the esteem of even the 'most radi cal and uncompromising of ,the ;Republi can Senators. Viewing him on both the -mental and the moral side of his character, ho is cer tainly the most conspicuous and able of the Democratic members of. the Senate. On the Republican side he is surpassed for general grasp and power only by Mr. Pstssiniarir4 and for special aCComplish• meats only by Mr. Susumu. Under this aspect of the case, it may seem strange to the uninitiated that the members of his party in the Legislature of this State, at the late Senatorial cau cus and election, refused him the honor of a complimentary vote. They chose rather to indicate a decided preference for Mr. W. A. WALLACE as his succeatior. The fact is, Mr. BIICKALEW is too broad a statesman to elicit the admiration of the Democrats of. Pennsylvania. Entering the Senate during the Rebel lion, his thought and purpose were to so ' act as to be true to himself—that is, to exhibit his own principles and decisiorn instead of the passions ,and prejudices of his party. This was a task of difficulty and delicacy; for his 'co.partisansi almost without exception, had taken ground which the impartial verdict' of ultimate history will pronounce deeply tinctured -witli fftelvisni. They demanded a fa representation of their peculiar ideas and feelings by Mr. Bucitsurw, and failed to get it- Nor yet i d he see proper to iden tify himself with the Republicans by a breach of fidelity to hie party, and a con tradiction of his hole previous political career, Bull as r. COWAN was guilty of. His fixed determination w s to maintain his own individuality, and deport him self that he shoild a ft er ads have no misgivings as to his conduct. While he has steadily dl Bred from the Republiclns on most poin t lUt of constitu tional law which have been under dis cussion, and has asserted his opinions with great, pliiinness of ! terms, he has uniformly addressed the Senate in such manner as tot command respect for his powers and acouirements, and for the moral convictions by whith he was ani mated. Co do this in times of great po litical heat and acerbity, like those in which his Senatorial lot was cast, gives assurance of high qualities. In.his retire ment to the duties and enjoyments of private life, and to those graceful and comparitively rare studies to which he is devoted. he will carry c with him the per sonal friendship of all the Republican Senators, as well as a warm appreciation of those gifts and attainments which make him a statesman rather than a politician. THE OHIO RIVER DISASTER. THROUGH the kindness of Mr. Swum WALKER, of the Ldcal Board of 11. S. Inspectors for this Port, we have received advance copies of the result of the pro tracted . investigation into the terrible calamity by which seventy-four lives were lost on the Ohio river last December, from the collision and burning of the Steamers United States and America, made by the Board of Inspectors of Cin cinnati. Inasmuch as the heart-rending particulars of that awful calamity are still fresh in the memories of our readers, we feel thatit is unnecessary to recite the tes timony idduced, by the Inspectors, or to publish in foll their clear and eompre hensive report. It appears that the ill fated steamers were perfect in all their appointments, and were equipped in strict compliance with the law, some of said equipments being in excess of those legal ly prescribed. The pilots and command ers had for many years previous to the accident sustained high reputations as careful and • skilled officers. In view of the strong testimony showing that the rules established by the Board of Super vising Inspectors for the government .of pilots had been violated by both pilots, thus causing a collision which might have been avoided, the Inspectorsrevoke I the licenses of those officers. I We do not know that it is charitable to accuse the offending officers with-the I crime of wholesale murder, but if through any criminal neglect or want of care, they brought about an accident involving such disastrous consequences to human life, their consciences must be burdened with an awful weight. Persons charged with the preservation of the lives cf the traveling community should ,take warn ing from this case and so znard their con duct and discharge their duties that should accidents happen their records will not develop a want of concern for the welfare and safety of the persons making up their predions cargoes. CEORGIA IN CONGRESS. The mischievous results, of that series of blunders by which Congress has in volved the Georgian question in a thread less maze of difficulties, are attracting the attention of thoughtful men everywhere. For example, the Utica Herald says : In seeking to dodge the unpleasant duty of a positive decision upon - the status of Georgia, it has simply made it self ridiculous, while accomplishing by indirection what it sought to avoid. It did not wish to acknowledge Georgia in the Union, and lacked the moral courage to decide her,out of it. In trying to dodge the horns of this dilemma, it has im paled itself oh the first, and in effect de cided that Georgia is re-admitted, be cause it declares her entitled to vote for Chief Magistrate—and, of course, to her full representation in both Souses. Congress will find it very difficult to get rid of this conclusion, though there is not the least doubt in the fact that the State of Georgia has not complied with the reconstruction laws, and is therefore not legally a member of the Union. Such a cowardly blunder on the part of COngress is worse than a crime. The Albany 'Evening Journal says: The real mischief is the precedent re. cognizing Georgia—fbr such is tlig prao. Meal effect of the came taken. lirgia was not entitled to vote, her vote had no place in Congress. And the petty quib ble of counting it both ways does not change the admission that there was a legal eleotion. For this, the Senate— whlolt has refused seats to Messrs. Hill and Miller—is responsible. Tna Harrisburg Tokgraph says Judge Pearrin delivered this morning a very able and elaborate opinion on the question whether the law passed in 1866, compelling the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to open sluices for the passage of Ash in their dams alongthe Basque. benne, is constitutional. The judge de clared the bill passed in 1866 unconstitu tional; and the fish are therefore compell ed to stay below the dam at Columbia. Tun Free Press of Madison, Arkansas, speaking of the effects of martial law in that State, says : "Whole' sections that were but a few weeks ago completely overrun by , bands of (Mame and despe. radon are now comparatively quiet, and once more the honest, industrious, and law.abiding citizen ie permitted to go forth and breathe the pure; fresh air of heaven without fear of endangering life, limb or property., Gm Barran( has now (since Feb. 1) a law forbidding the storage M. any bitu minous substance, producing imflamma• ble vapors at a temperature lower than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, in any maga zine within fifty yards of an inhabited building. • 1869. Washington /tens. . The report of the Akiska investigation will be made to the House during the , present week. The main facts developed are already well known: The Committee will report, in substance, that beyond the one instance of attorney's fees, and two or three small instances of newspaper corruption, the 1 charges of general or wholesale corruption are not sustained. The Reconstruction Committee at their next meeting will take up the cases of Georgia or Virginia. Respecting the former'State, It Is understood that the ma jority of the Committee are in favor of reporting against the admission of her representatives to Congress until she has complied with the reconstruction acts. The action of her Legislature, in turning out the negro representatives and in dis franchising the negroes, of the State, is regarded as a clear violation of the con ditions upon which she was admitted; and until she complies with these conditions, she will not be entitled to have represen tailor!, in either House. The San Domingo question will be brought up by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, this week, and an effort will be made to have an evening set apart for its discussion.' The President's veto of the bill putting the colored schools of the District .of Co lumbia under the control of the public schools, thereby uniting the colored 1 and white schools under one manage -1 ment, was the subject of consideration in ! 'all the colored churches here yesterday. 1 The congregations unanimously adopted 1 resolutions protesting against the passagd of the bill over the veto, until white and colored children are permitted alike to att tend the same School.
