WASHINGTON SPECIALS. Resignation ' of Gen. Bovecrana Collector Hmythe-Conirrca( to Adjourn Next Week The Example of General Wade Hampton Gen. Lee in Favor of a Convention under the military Hill Probable Itejectlon of Ntedmau by the Ncuato. Nkw York, March 22. The Times' special says: Geu. Rosecrans, two weeks ago, sent in his resignation. Gen. Grant endorsed his recommendation of acceptance, but before action was token a letter was received from Bishop Rosecrans, the brother of the General, asking a suspension of action. The New York Congressional delegation have asked, In case the resignation is accepted, that Gen. Sickles be appointed a Brigadier-General In the regular army. There Is no truth in the report that an influential pressure Is being brought to bear upon the President for the removal of Collector Smythe. The President has no official information of any dereliction of duty on the part of that gentleman. It is believed that Congress can adjourn on Monday or Tuesday next. The Herald's special says the impression gains ground here that tho example of Geu. Houghton and others In Columbia, In regard to the ft-eedmen, will be very generally followed In' the Southern States, aud that much good will grow out tf this policy to both races. The uext address of the kind is expected lrom Gov. Wise, orVa., in Richmond. It is understood that Gen. Lcc favors the calling of a Constitutional Convention under the Reconstruction bill. The Tribune's special says Geu Stecdman, who was nominated us Collector of Internal Revenue for the 1st (New Orleans) District of Louisiana, on the 10th, will undoubtedly be rejected by the Senate to-morrow or next day.

I read your excellent article In the Jocrnax of the 14th Inst, on Railroad Legilalion, with no small degree of satisfaction. Considering the most perfect .neutrality which has been maintained by the press generally, of the State, on this very important subject, your editorial Is decidedly refreshing. Its positions arc just, its arguments independent, logical and unanswerable. No evidence in any sentence or line of the article that would cause the least suspicion that your hat had ever been chalked by any of the roads. You say: "The people demand legislation, and they will accept no trifling reason for a failure to furnish it." This Is true, and so far ss my observation extends, universal. If it prolongs the session a month in order to get up a well-matured bill to regulate and govern railroad companies, the people will justify It. The railroads must be governed and regulated by law, or they will soon assert their right, and probably maintain it, to govern and regulate the State. A little wholesome legislation in proper season will doubtless be a good Investment for the State at large. It is unfortunate that the Senate committee did not have time and means to prosccnte its investigations more in detail ; to take testimony at every station on the roads. The railroad companies have been pretty effectually heard through their Presidents, Superintendents, freight agenta, &c., but the other side of the question, in which is included the local shipper, lias scarcely been heard from, except as it was brought out, reluctantly, in the testimony of Presldcuta, Snperlntendeutw and favorites of the companies. An investigation in detail at the local shipping stations would have furnished information quite useful to the Legislature in matnrlng a bill for the government of railroads. It would have explained much of the testimony of officers of the roads, which now seems to be obscure. For instance, we find in the testimony of D. W. Caldwell, Suierintendent of the Central Ohio, these words : "Wc never charge absolutely more for a short distance than a longer ouc." Now, how are we to understand this t I am reliably informed, and the records of the road will doubtless show, that certain parties shipping wheat from Toledo, ria Newark, to Glencoe on the Central road, pay the same price which is charged to Bellalrc, the terminus of the road, and that they are charged in addition to this through price, the sum of ten dollars per carload for carrying it back again on the same rood to Glencoe, a distance of nine miles. And this extra charge of teu dollars Is made whether the wheat is stopped at Glencoe or taken past to Bellalrc, and brought back on return trip. This is paying ten dollars more for a short distance than for u longer one, which seems to be inconsistent with Mr. Caldwell's testimony; but he can doubtless explain it upon tho principle of constructive mileage, and prove that Glencoe is "absolutely" nine miles further ftoiu Newark than flcllairc is, when it is actually nine miles less. Whether the same rule of constructive distances has beeu made to apply to the stations at Belmont, Barnea- vllle, Gib-sou, Campbell, Cambridge, Ac, your correspondent is not advised. It was not my Intention to refer to speclul cases, or to criticize the evidence of any one who has given testimony In the case, but to speak of the general demand there Is for leg islation, by the people along the Hues of, at least, some of these roads. Tho people who gave the right of way, and paid ihelr money to build the roads, including counties and towns along the roiuls,whlch Invested largely for this purpose, have some kind of a vague idea that they should not be discriminated against lu the carrying of freights. Those are the parties that furnished the money which gave credit and character to the coin-panics suificK nt to enable them to borrow the balance of tho money to complete and equip their roads. Many of these roads now, under the management they have had, are hopelessly Insolvent and are yet Is'lna run and managed by the same set of oillcers and attach i"- who brought insolvency upon them ; not for the beuellt of those local communities along the line of the roads who gave the right of way, paid their money and thus provided a basis of credit upon which incomplete the roads, but to their actual disadvantage and Injury ; and to the advantage of tho foreign shlpjs r, and the oillcers anil managers of the roads. On some of these Insolvent roads the few remaining crlglnal stockholders arc utterly powei-hss. They know literally nothing of the management of their road, and have no power to control its management If they did. The slock lielng thus made worthless was readily accumulated by parties desiring lo retain the management of the road for purposes not at all consistent vlth the original Intention of railroads. The legislature Is expected to protect onr own cltiens, aud make them equal to one another In the carrying business, aud equal in the irelghttiig business to cltlteus of other States, and to prevent TL II. omcers, under heavy K.naltles. from monopolizing the freighting buslnes for their own personal bcnetlt, or of being personally Interested In any business along the lines of the roads which woulJ bring them in contact, In the freighting bualarM, with the public Interest. Then, let a Commissioner be appointed, whose duty it shall be to carry out the objects of the law. Phlmokt. OHIO LliKJliiLA.TTJlfcl:. SENATE, omnciAL retort. Friday, March 23, 1867.
