Nearly 1,000 miles of the Main Line and converging Branches between the Missouri River and the base of the Rocky Mountains have been built wittiin three years. The CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD has also steadily and successfully carried the Main-Mem Line from the steamboat navigation of the Pacific to the summit of the Sierra Nevadas, and into the Gr.at Salt Lake Basin ea-toi the California Trie. Having overcome By far the most difficult and expensive portion of the whole line the prob.ioilities of the through connection with the eastern line- being effected in 1670, amount alm#fct to certainty. prominent feature in the progress of the CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD is the remarkably large profitable Local Business which is developed upon the completed portion ; more than Justifying tne estimates of its projectors—that the immense traffic between the ports of California and the Mining Regions of the in erior woud sustain a flist class railroad line, even if the overland connection were not built. The net profit upon operating the link of less than 100 miles, thus fur reaches nearly two million* in gold; and this ratio will be doubled during the coming season, when the entire mountain transitu made by the locomotive. With every extension of the track the business and profits of tbe completed part a.c increased; so that when the Oveiland through traffic shall be centred upon the Central Road th* general prosperity' of the Company will be without parallel, and its Securities appreciated correspondingiy. #.

Almost all w*e can do for the present to es stability of the national debt, is to fund our short embarrassing obligations into long bonds, and to let the existing Five-Twenties alone. It would also be unwise and unnecessary in any future negotiations of consolidated bonds of the United States, to give up the Federal right to tax such bonds equally with other property. tablish the CONTRACTION OF THE CURRENCY. . Mr. Morton did >> good service on Thursday in urging the subject of contraction upon the consideration of the Senate. arrangements an element of discord and confusion whose Some members of Congress, it would seem, are not so disturbing influence in business would probably recall our clearly convinced as they ought to be of the profound anxiety with which the currency is regarded by all classes of our worst experience during the war, when the heavy disburse¬ ciliate the inflationists.

This problem is, in some of its aspects, the most complicated and difficult which has ever before been presented to the people of any great commercial country, its difficulties originate partly from a want of clear, definite knowledge of the real nature of our currency maladies. Everybody acknowledges in a certain way that redundancy is the reason why our paper money is depreciated. Too much currency has been issued, and to undo the evil the ex¬ to amend cess an act must be called in and cancelled. tion law therefore from that not founded was principle in safely depart. our r are sound principle, and future currency legislation we can¬ If the sound conservative of the law of 1866 The currency contrac¬ not on a objections to the administration directed against its principles i they are still less intended to undervalue its results. A fortnight ago we showed that under the powers conferred by this Act, Mr. McCulloch had curtailed the currency to a verj large extent, and although the price of gold and of other commodities may not have receded quite as much or as symmetrically as some of our mathematical reasoners had calculated upon, still the working of the law has been, on the whole, very salutary. Had we not thus diminished the volume of the currency we should at this moment, in all probability, have had gold ranging nearer to 175 than to 135, for the mass of the currency which wo wanted during the heavy government expenditures of the war period was, for obvious reasons, very much in excess of what is necessary now in time of peace. One of the too-much forgotten benefits of the contraction of the currency which has been effected through interest-bearing legal tenders and by green¬ back cancellation, has chiefly consisted in preventing a rise in gold and in other commodities which would have been inevitable if, as the effect of war emergencies had grad¬ ually died away, and the occasion for the use of currency was gradually narrowing, the volume of that currency had not been contracted to correspond. We do not, therefore agree with those who think it *an objection to contraction that it has not reduced the price of gold. On the contrary it is by no means certain that the premium on gold has not been influenced by contraction quite as much as was to be 775 is deflected and put up and down by the foreign ex¬ changes, by the imports or exports of specie, by the supply of gold in the market, by the prospects of political compli¬ ed;.ms or short crops in Europe, by the payments of inter¬ est or the arbitrary sales of gold from the Treasury, and by a thousand other contingencies which shrewd men in Wall Street pursue, measure and govern their speculations by, to the aggregate of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. In power face of these facts he would be a bold man wTho would say that every movement of reform in the currency must register itself in an immediate reduction of the gold premium, and conversely that every rise and fall of the latter indicates corresponding changes in the former. Of course we do not say that the premium on gold is in no controlling degree regulated by the redundancy and depreciation of the currency. But we do say that this de¬ preciation, this loss of purchasing power is one among a multitude of conflicting forces, all of which modify and agi¬ tate the market price of gold. Of these forces, depreciation is certainly the chief; it has wider scope than any of the others; it is that disturbing force without which the others would lose most of their efficiency. The real price of gold, if wTe could fix it at any time, wrould measure the paper cur¬ rency depreciation, and its changes at intervals wmuld indicate the variations in the purchasing power of our paper money as a thermometer measures,the transitions of heat and cold. But the real price of gold is not the market price. In great emergencies we have seen, and we may again see, the twTo very wide apart. In July, 1864, the market price of gold was 285, but its real price must have been much below that point as is proved by the fact that the purchasing pow’er of the greenback-dollarjin the hands of the mechanic who wished to buy with it food or other necessaries was about as great when gold was at 285 as a few weeks before when gold was at 168, or some months later when gold was below 150. We might just as wisely declare the law7 of gravitation in¬ constant when the sea pours its waters into the Hudson and reverses its ourrent twice a day, as claim that gold under all the tidal perturbations in its market value shall always indi¬ fraction the effects of contraction, and the exact movements in the appreciation or depreciation of our paper cate to a currency. The necessity of contraction, its usefulness, and the bene¬ fits it has conferred, being thus acknowledged, Mr. Morton was right in his efforts to get definite action taken on the subject. The people of this country believe wflth Mr. Mc¬ Culloch that it is a great evil to have a depreciated paper currency. But they are of opinion that there are greater evils still. And among these greater evils they reckon the putting into the hands of one man, unchecked by publicity, expected under the circumstances. the arbitrary control over the volume of the currency, and We often hear the fall of gold spoken of as if that move¬ the consequent power to regulate the standard of value and ment were a rise in the value of greenbacks. This pop¬ the productiveness of business for the whole country. ular error supposes that the only force which acts on gold Whether right or wrong in this belief the people are gener¬ to depress or raise its premium in the market is the ally influenced by it.

Hence the perturbations in the premiums on gold, so far as are. due to such causes, offer no indication whatever of re¬ “ c sponsive movements in the value of our paper money.

In the bullion market the principal feature is an active demand for for transmission to the Continent. As there have been no arrivals, gold nearly £450,000 has been taken out of the Bank since Thursday morn¬ ing last, and hence the Bank return to be published to morrow is likely to show a considerable diminution ; but as coin is now returning incon¬ siderable quantities from the Provinces, the decrease may not be so great as the heavy withdrawals, which have been alluded to, might lead one to expect.

The Grocery Trade has been unusually light during the week, and confined to the small parcels from second hands to supply immediate consumptive demand. Some business has been done from first hands, but all parties are interested more in squaring up accounts for the January showing than in entering into any new operations during the. present uncer tainty of trade. Some broken lots of goods have been sold at lower rates, but generally there is a good degree of steadi¬ ness to prices Imports of the week at New York have been 207 packages of Tea, 5,342 bags of Coffee, 172 hogsheads and 920 boxes of sugar, 602 hogsheads of foreign and 3,34 7 barrels of New 18,662 since Japans.
