In some remarks made by us a few days since wc assumed that the paper currency of the United States was excessively redundant, and that thc best test of that redundancy was tho premium on gold. This test is invariably ap? plied in England. Wheu tho Bank of Eog landsuspended its specio payuonts in 1737 both those who affirmed and those who denied that tho paper currency was redundant and depreciated admitted the accuracy of this test. We also stated that until the pa por currency was brought to a lovel of valuo with spocie every attempt to secure specie payments would bo futile, and, consequently, that thc idea of sending bonds to Europo with the expectation of negotiating them at par and bringing the proceeds to tho United States in gold until that level was restored, would prove fallacious, and that, if even there was au ?nfl.ix of gold iu consequence of a favorable balance of trade, it would bo only temporary; the gold would flow out again to be re-exported as a commodity, eeekiog a better market, according to' that well established hw of currency which precludes a euperior and inferior circulating medium to circulate together, in the same manner precise? ly as a debased metallic currency would take the place of one of standard weight and fine? ness. We also entered on an argument to sbow that it would be more expedient, in order to bring the paper portion of the currency within its proper limits, to diminish tho floating debt with whatever could be spared from the sur? plus ol cold ia the treasury and what eau bo saved from reduoing tho publio expenditure. We argued that it is a less evil to pay ono hun? dred and forty or one hundred and fifty millio'is of interest on a funded debt, payable in 1881, th rn to have in circulation an amount < f paper currency greatly ru excess, reaching the enor? mous sum of between turee and four hundred millions of dollars. For a redundant pap ^r cur? rency not only destroys the validity of con? tracts and lessens the revenue of all those who hve on fixed incomes, but diminishes the com? forts and necessaries of lifo of the laboring classes. We know that there is a large mass of per? sons who ore apprehensive that ir the curren? cy is contracted in ever BO slight a dogreo, it will BO depress prices ceuorally as to produco more embarrassment and distress tuan any probable advantage that wdl arise from re? turning to specie pavmonts. Wo would fortify our conclusion that a gradual return to thc standard of gold will uotproduco any injurious effects by thc evidenco of facts and thu weight of authority. Mr. Welles, thc special commis? sioner of tho levcnuo, made a report recoutly to Congress m wuich wo liud tho ioilomng pa3aagj: ''As bearing on the proposition or c nlrac tion us a method of arriving: a' resumption, the couiniis.-ioncr believes that no mau eau look back tu thc period whoa a mod?rai o con? trae! iou was authorized uy v.'ougrjss, aud put hm finger on oue singlo bad result to huvo fl nra from suoh contraction, watch was not duo tn the first ?u.-tauco to a wholly imagina? tivo influence ; that no ono can review the his? tory ot pr.ces thou without foeling uouviuccd that there was duruig such timo, ?. e. irom March, 1366. to January. 1833, a tendency to a gradual and healthy shrinkage of values; ?id that the shrinkage of prices which actually did occur was equivalent, through nu increase in tho purchasing power of money iu usc,'?You practioal increase and not to a diminution ol' tho power of the currency to affect exahanges." This increase was estimated by the commis? sioner, in his l ist report during tho year 1867, to at least $100,000.000. Tue'-mo lera to con? traction" to which thu commissioner allude* was $4 000.000 pur mouth, which is jus' about the exwnt. of ?he contraction suggested by us, to wit: $50 000,000 annually; for tt will be i\ oollcute? that tho application of a part of tno surplus of cold received from the revnuu-i of custo us, fifty milhou more, forms no p irt ol' tho actual circulation, out is held in reserve by ibo Secretary ot tho Treasury for tho double purpoao of paying the gold interest on tho puhlio debt and keeping down tho premium on gold; but tho f ct that tho surplus oil a low p.veruge am >unts to eig.tty uiliioud of dol?an annually, affords conclusive proof tba weare losing tue interest ou this sum unnecessarily, and that afte;- tho application of fifty millions of this surplus to tho Diyuiout of au equal amount of the floating (lebt, there will still re main thirtv millions for contingencies.

Mr. Pillsbury cannot bc hold Lo have, by virtue of election, even a prana facie title to tbc of?co of Mayor, because the law under which bo was elected referred thc scrutiny of that election to a special tribunal, an .1 ga^-e to that body the authority to make a bin dinj. "o cieion, after investigating tho claim of the claimants and examining thc returns of the managers with thc ballots. Furthermore, to this tribunal Pillsbury has submitted his claim for the office of Mayor, and the Aldermen upon hie ticket have sub? mitted their claim for the offices of Aldermen, respectively, as well upon thc law as upon the facts, claiming to havo received tho highest number of legal votes; and thia tribunal, so appointed by law, and to which the claimants have resorted and voluntarily submitted their claim, has declared, as its decision and finding, that Gilbert Pillsbury and thc parties claiming as Aldermen with him, did not receive the highest number of legal vote-; and.the law says "their decision shall be binding upon llic parties.*' Thc same tribunal have also declared that no persons have been duly elected according to law. Thc decision and finding of this tribunal stands uureversed, and consequently, until another election, Ute incumbents must hold ooer. They must hold over, not for th air own sako, but for the public good of preserving the gov? ernment of the city. If tho Managers of Election had united in making a return in favor of Pillsbury and his Aldermen, and that return hail been disputed, pending the scrutiny tho claimants might bo said to have a prima facie title to the offices claimed; but, after scrutiny had and a decision against their claim, this presumption in their favor is gone, because it has been rendered legally err tain that said claimants, of all mon, havo no titlo to tie officos in question. If the incumbents-Mayor Clark and the Acting Board of Aldermen-could be weak enough to vacate their offices, they might throw thc corporation into chaos or dissolu tiou for want of officers; but they certainly, by su7h action, would not and could not lawfully seat Mr. Pillsbury and his ticket. And if tho incumbents fcbould, through weakness or from other motives, so vacate their offices, Mr. Pillsbury and his ticket could "Ot enter upon and assume to exercise thc cffi:cs of Mayor and Aldermen of the City of ; Charleston, without being guilty of usurpation. Any other set of men in tho City ofCuarloston might seize upon said offices with equal right, or show right. Mr. Pillsbury and his ticket have not even ' c^lor of titlo, by election," to sustain them, if t~oy should succeed now in intruding themselves into tho officos. Their entry, under legislativo action in Columbia, would carry willi it proof of want of title in them, by election, which would vitiate their proceedings and acts. So it is that Mayor Chirk and tl c Acting Aldermen, by retaining thc offices of which they aro incumbents, do not obstruct Mr. Pillsbury and his ticket. IDE LAW stands ! tn his and their way, because tho fiuding of tho law stands recorded against them. But, again, aupposc Mayor Clark and thc Acting Boord of Aldermou were out of tho way altogether, and Mr. Pillsbury and tho other claimants with him had been suffered, without resistance, to usurp tho offices of Mayor and Aldermen, could they sustain themselves ? No tax bill, passed by them, or other act whose validity depends on their hoing the (awful officers of the corporation, would be valid. If not ousted of their usurped places by an indignant community, their power would be utterly naught, for the want of that acquies? cence in their authority which would be essen? tial to its efficacy. Their government would be powerless. On the otbor band, upon what foundation, in the face of Ur. Corbin's bill, does tho title of Mayor Clark and the Acting Board of Aldermen rest ? The answer is, tliey are the incumbents. Kent, in his commentaries, lars down the doctrine in these words : "lu the case of pub? lic officers, who are such de fado, acting under color ot office by an election or appointment not strictly leg?, or without having qua'ifled themselves by the requisito tests, or by holding over after tho period prescribed tor a now appointment, as m thc case of sheriffs, constables, ic, their acts aro hold valid as re? spects the rights of third persons who havo an interest in them, and as concome tho public in oidor to prevent a failuro of justice." (2 Kent, 259.) lu order, therefore, "to pt event a fui'we of justioS" or ot govornmont, Mayor Cia' lt and bis Board ot Aldermen "?B public officers, who are such de facto, acting under col r ol'office" by appointment, irrespective of legislativo con? firmation or attempted legislative motion,. are ou'-itlod, by law, to exercise their uflbos until another election ia held under tho cour? ter ot tho eily, and their acts will bo legally valid aud b.ndiug. Titer tax bill can bu ou forced. Thc v hold as incumbents, filling offices which would bo vacant au.ess t joy continued to hold until uuuthei election. Only officers duly elected can lawfully displaco them. Lcgis'd tioe appointees cannot oust them.

CHARLESTON TO CINCINNATI. Great Through Line-Shortest Koutc only seventy-four Mil rs tn bo Com ploted- The Broken Link - spartan borg, S. C., to Ashville, JV. C. TO THE EDITOK OF THE NEWS. Thc interest you seem to feel ia the improve menl6 of the country, and especially in railroad enterprises, induces me to request the publica? tion t?f a few facts whicb may not bc generally kno-- u. I allude to the extension of tbe Spar tanoorg Road to Ashville, N. C., a distance of seventy-four miles, which is all that remains to completo tho great enterprise began in 1835, called the '.Louisville, Cincinnati and Charles? ton Railroad,r-all tho balance now being completed or in course of construction. This line passes directly through the centre of South Carolina, and cannot be tapped at any point BO as to divert the business in any oilier direction. On thc contrary, this ?outo has the advantage over any other, both in directness, easy grades, and light curvatures. If you will stretch a thread from Columbia to Cumberland Gap, you will ho surprised to soe how near it strikes Spartanburg Courthouse, S. C., Butt Mouutain aud Ashville, N. C., Paint Rock and Morristown, Tetinesee?, find Cumberland Gap, on the line of Kentucky and Tennessee. At the corner ot Mie State of Virginia, the three States come together ou Cumberland Mountain, for thc truth of my assortions, I refer you to the icports of Major McNiel, who had twelvj brig? ades of eugineors tor more than a year, who examined tbo wholo mountain range fjom Vir? ginia to Georgia. In his report to thu Knox? ville Convention in 1838, he 6ays: '"Nature too, has clearly pointed out Ibo true route by which your communication vit h the ocean may bo most easily cffectcd~by the valley of the French Broad River. * * By this route which is believed to be without a parallel in tho topography of tho world." In this conven tion nine States were represented, by three hundred and eighty delegates, who. after thorough examination, unanimously ai'opted ibis route. Tho City of Louisville, Kentucky, sent a delegation to Norfolk, Va., in October last, to secure communication by rail to that city-which delegation succj.ded in making arrangements with tho various railroad com? panies and with thc City of Norfolk, hy which the connection is to be made. Tho City Coun? cil of Louisville unanimously adopted their recommendations and pledged means to cany out tho work. This connection being a fixed fact, and Cumberland Gap tho objective point, let UR compare distances. From thiB gap to Norfolk is five-hundred and two miles, and <o charleston tour hundred and ihirty-five miles; sixty-seven miles in favor ot Charleston. From Cumberland GlTp to Morristown, on tho East Tenuossc;- aud Virginia Railroad, is fifty? one miles; Charleston is thirty-one miles near? er than Richmond, and ninety-one miles nearer by tito Fieuch Broad than by Knoxvil o and tho B.uo Ridge Road. From norristown, by the Faint Kock to Asuvillo, is eighty-seven miles. Tho North Carolina Central Railroad, from Beaufort via Salisbury and Morgantown, will he completed to Ashville wilhiu the next eighteen mouthe or two years. Thc Wilmington and Rutherford Road, from Wilmington via Ch?rlotte, Lincoluton. Shelby, Ruthcriordton, Columbus mid Henderson to Ashvillo, is now hoing constructed, and ample means provided for its completion. Suppose all th.so roads bo built .iud in operation, South Carolina und Charleston will be lett out in the cold unless wo move forward and till up tbia fhort gap of only seventy-four miles. From Ashville to Beaufort, N. C., is lour hundred aud sixteen miles, to Charleston two hundred and ninety-seven miles-being one hundred and niuotecu miles m favor ot Charleston. From Ashvil.e to Wilmington, by the Wilming? ton and Ruthcifordton Road, is throo hundred and thirty-three indes, giving Charles:on thc advantage of thirty-six miles over Wilmington. Reviewing the whole line from actual survey, Charleston has sixty-seven miles advantage over Norfolk, thirty-one over Richmond, ono hundred aud nineteen over Beaufort, and Jhirty-8ix over Wilmington. If wo fail to baili this link, we lose all tho trade of tho Wost, and a largo part of the trade we now get will be drawn off when theso other lines are com? pleted. But build this holt to Ashville and Charleston, and tho State will draw a large share of both through and way busiuess. Tho agricultural and mineral resources of this vast country cannot be over-estimatod. The provi? sion States of tbe West have and must con? tinue to furnish the cotton, sugar and rice fields with horses and mules and provisions for tbe laborers. Theso can be brought direct whero they are wanting without going the cir? cuitous route by New York or Baltimore, which will give business to laborers allaloug the lino, bring in capital, enterprieo, and devclopo tbe resources of tho country, keoping money here instead of sending it off to enrich other com? panies and other towns and cities. Too much importance cannot be attached to the mineral resources of those vast mountain regions that he re toforo have been land-locked and mountain bound. Cumberland Mountain and much of the country th's side abouuds in coal which is said to bo of excellent quality and easily ob? tained, as it is seen cropping out in large veins in many places over a largo section of country, enough to supply auy domand likely to be made for centuries to come. L'on abo abounds iu inexhaustible quantities in immediate prox? imity to the coal and limestone regiou. Salt is produced Iro^Ubo salt springs or wells in any quautiiy thaflnay bo desired, at low rates-the coal ui'der ymg the mountain on both sides of tho valley whero tho salt is made. There is another article of incalculable value as a fertilizer, winch is now beim* extons:>\ ly used for agricultural purposes-I allude to what is known there as plistei or marl, winch is found in inoxhausliblo hanks, or, I might s.y. fiolds. This can bu (piarrieJ aud sold on : Li J spot for $2 ft) io S3 pur ton ni its crudo mate. Mai bio of great variety and tho finest quality, saul by some lo bo equal to tue Italian marble, is found there. (Seo upccimcns ut tho now Slalo capital.) It is not dunned ' that coppor, lead uud other minerals also ui.ound. It is known that tho lend mines of West Vngiuia have been cz uusivoly worked formero tuan a qiurtor of a century. Should ai y one doubt tuo advantages of railroad com? munication between d.ffjieut sections ot the country, I would ruler lum lo tho <Jity of Balti? more J s un example ol tho power of rai hoad oommuuica'.ion. Tluteity, before tho Balti moro und Ohio Riilroad was built, contained less than ono hundred thous md inhabitants, wi.li comparatively Ittlo commerce. Baltimore is tc-day a proud city of four hundred thou? sand mhabiiauls, and her commercial rela? tions extending to almost every part ol' the globo. Norfolk, seeing tho neco.-sity of inland oom Di amen-ion. is leading out fm* lier share of tho irado of tho great West. North Carohua hos expended, and is now expending, it ia Maid, near lorty millions for tho samo purpose. Look at t'onuessce aud Georgia.

After that comes the Chatham, if tho committee get ready to re? port. There is a growine disposition, however, lo postpono all farther railroad measures to tho next regular SCSS?OD. Charlotte Rollins delivers her address on female Buff rage in the hall of the Houso of Representatives at tei A. M. to-morrow. Tho hall will bo openod to the publie. A great I crowd ie expected, and arrangements made for thc occasion. Rev. Dr. Hicks addressed a large audience here this evening, and made a very favorable impression, tho appearance of the venerable Dr. Enchinan, who also officiated on the occa? sion, elicited the wannest expressions of love and tatecm for the aged pastor. Dr. HickB has received prossing invitations to remain and preach iu other churches in this city. IN THE SENATE, to-iay, Swails introduced the fol owing joint resolution : Be it resolced, by Ibo Sonate and House of Representatives of the State of Soutn Caio lina, now met and sitting in General Assem? bly, and by the authority of tho dame. That the GOT J1.nor be, and bo is hereby ompowored to purchaso, for tho uso ot tho State, two thousand stand of arms known as the Winches? ter repeating rifle, with tho usual complement of ammunition, and that the same be paid for out of any money in thc Treasury not other? wise, appropriated, which received its first reading. I Wright roported tho following joint resolu? tion : Whereas, The Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston, in Council assembled, on tho ninth day of February, A. D. 18(19. passed an ordinaiico to amend an ordinance entitled "An ordinance to aid in rebuilding the burnt district and waste places of the City of Charles? ton," in tho worus and of the tonor following, (o wit : "Bo it ordained, That the restriction upon tho erection of wooden buildings in clauses ono and seven in section two of the ordinance to aid in rebuilding tho burnt dis? trict and waste places of (he city bo confined to that portion ol the city king to tho east of King-strtct, including both sides thoroof, and to the south ot ?Society-street, including both sides thereof ; and that said restriction bo re? pealed as to all other portions of the eily : Provided, however. That this ordinance shall not take effect un. il the Genet al Assembly of tho Stute shall have "ivon to thc City Council autl ority to pass tho same ;" therefore, he it Beso ced, by tho Senato and House ot Rep? resentatives of tho Hiido of South Carolina, now met and sitting in General Assembly, and by tho authority of tho same, That the City Council ot ( harleston bo, and they aro hereby authorized to pass tho ordinance horeiubefore recited, and their action in passing tho same is hereby confirmed. Tho resolution roceived its first reading, was ordered for a second reading And consid? eration to-morrow, and to bo printod. The Militia bill introduced by Senator Los lie, wu ich was under discussion to-day, elicited a lively debato on the fifteenth section, provi? ding for tho appointment, by the Governor, of an Assistant Adjutant-General. Nash moved that the section be stricken out. Tho motion was defeated. Tho bill as reported will pass to-morrow, with Blight amendments. IN THE tl OUSE, Purvis, from the Com m it tc o on Incorporations, reported favorably on Sen? ate bill to amend the charier of tho Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company, which was laid ovor for a second reading. The Senate sent to the House the following concurrent resolution: Besomed, by the Senate, the House of Rep? resentatives concurring, That the General As? sembly do adjourn stri': die onThursdav, March 4, A. D. 1869, at 12 o'clock M. George Lee moved to make the further con? sideration of the resolution the special order for Thursday, March 4, at half-past ll A. M. Agreed to. Also, a bill tu alter and amend the charter of tho Town of Greenville, and tor other purposes. Read a first time, and referred to tho Commit? tee on Incorporations. A bill to provide for the enumeration of the inhabitants of each county in the State was taken up, read tho thud time, passed, and or? dered to be sent to the Senato. Tho report of the Committee of Conference on a Senate bill to provide for the revision and consolidation of the statute laws of the State of South Carolina, was adopted. A joint resolution authorizing the Governor to fill the vacancies uow existing in tho State Board of Equalization, was read tho third time, passed, and ordered to be sent to tho Senato. The House had also under consideration to? day a bill to protect laborers andpersous work? ing under contracts on shares ot oi ops. Pending tho discussion of this bill ibo Houso adjourned. For many months tho Charlotte Railroad has bad a through tariff via C jarlo tte to Columbia, and via Columbia to Charlotte, using tho up? per route, as against New York steamers and South Carolina Railroad to Columbia, and vice oer8a, pitting the Charleston routo against ibo Charlotte route for freights to tho latter city. Tho consequence hus bcon that the va? rious steamship aud railroad companies be? tween Chnrlotto and New York sniper contra, between Columbia and New York, have sub? mitted to unrcmuucralivc rates in an activo competition for freights, while thc Charlotte Railroad has boen having "two strings to its bow," and charging comparatively higher fig? ures. The oapituhsts interested bat ween Char lotto and New Yolk, and Columbia and Mow York, eoino weeks trinco, cima to the conclu? sion that this gumo hud boen played against, (hem long enough, and have discontinued it; thinking, perhaps, that what wa8 '"fun for tho boytj was death to tho frogs," and so tho Char? lotte Railroad has lo get along on its own mer? its, aud without having about twenty million dollars of capital at work for its benefit gra? tuitously. There is much grumbling, however, in that quarter.
