Mthe meeting of the new Board Isaac ITlnckley
was elected President ; Enoch Pratt, Vice-President,
Mid A. Hornr, Hecretary and TrenHurer.
The annaal report of the Board of Directors, show
big the operations of the road for the year ending
October 81, 1H69, was read at the meeting of the
stockholders. By this the receipts of the Philadel
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Kallroad are shown
to have been 2,os,80S-8t and of the New Castle
and Krenehtown Road 177,888-61, making a total for
both roads of $2,M8,1381. The expenditures of the
P..W. and B. were l,H0l,8i 8, and of the New
Castle and French town $44,193 W, making a total
expenditure for both roads of 11,846,174-46, leaving a
balance of ITM.964-44, to which Is addsd the gain
from the Delaware road, w,749-45, making the net
earnings for the year 1808,706-91. Out of these
earnings two dividends of four per cent, each were
aald, ai'nounttngtol776,lM-68.
The passenger receipts were over 4 percent, larger
than those of iHf, and the receipts for freight, ex.
Sress, etc, over 18 per cent larger. The gross earn
lgs from all sources were over 7 per cent, greater
than In 1868, and the ojierating expenses were over
18 per cent larger. The increase In the operating
expenses is wholly due to repairs, and but for this
would have been smaller than in the previous year.
An unusual number of steel rails and new cress-tics
laid during the year swelled the repair account In
relation to steel rails, the report says:
"The additional experience Rained in the nee of stool
vails eonttrms ear preTiouslr expressed opinion that true
economy demands their nt npon jemr road in place of
ma rails. Of over tliirtv miles laid with SngHuh steel
rails apoa ronr road, not one rail has been removed for
any imperfection, and bn two Amerioan steel rails, out of
more than two thousand, have shown any imperfection.
The beat steel rails oan be bought for delivery in IH7II at
bnttweatv per cent, advance npon the cost of best Iron
rails, and tmloas henceforth there be a srester relative
difference in the cost of iron and steel, the parohates of
Iron rails for renewals ef your tracks will probably oease."
The business of the Delaware Railroad afforded a
profit of nearly $46,000. The prosrjects of the Dela
ware Kallroad continue to Improve. The peach
crop of the peninsula was larger than ever before,
although a large area of territory was entirely un
productive on account of late frosts. The quantity
of peaches brought upon the road from the penin
sular roads amounted to about two millions ef
baskets, or four thousand car loads. Most of the
peninsular railroads are furnished with their car
equipment from this company. The report alludes
to the Interruption of travel for seventy hours by
the flood last October, but says but small inconve
nience to the public resulted, a tolorably direct route
having been temporarily opened via the Chester
creek and West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad,
without change of cars.

sale. Complainant stated that In his opinion the

rounded rraad. This decision was acquiesced in by
all parties.
Among the articles sold were desks, tables, stools,

which were scattered around In the greatest profu

this old and favorite company Is now prepared to
make Insurances against loss by fire on reasonable
terms. Doubtless the terms are too reasonable, on
account of the oldnesa of the company. A line In

TILE NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
From tU Jf. 1'. Herald.
"Wall street har another sensation to-day In con
nection witn tne acauncs in tne sold market and
for a time the excitement was very great Reference
was made yesterday to the action of Messrs. Trevor
A Colgate In refusing to dsposit their gold check
With the Cold Exchange Clearing House unless a
simultaneous return was made of a certified check
for the money due them. To-day this action was
rtpeated by the Arm of Messrs. Marvin Brothers &
Co., who, in tendering 900,000 gold, demanded a
certified check lor the currency equivalent The
bank refused to accede, and the Arm being resolute
the bank threw out their statement and sent a noti
fication to the Gold Exchange that no clearance
would be made,' and requesting members
to take no their statements and c sects again. Tli
was done, and the business of the day was brought
to a standstill. Subsequently, at an executive meet-
in or of the Cold Kxchanse, Mr. Tasker U. Marvin.
the representative of the nrm, was arraigned on a
charge of a violation of the rules of the Board, and
by a two-thirds vote expelled. A great deal of ill
feeling has been engendered by this course, and the
friends of Mr. Marvin express themselves in bitter
denunciation of the severity or his ooneneuta.
However. It is contended on the other hand that he
was well aware of the rules and was Justly pun
ished for an lniracuon 01 tne aiscipnne 01 tne body.
Moreover. It is charged that the effort to embarrass
the Clearing House was a widespread conspiracy
In connection with the speculative movements In
gold, and hence the prompt measures taken to
repress It . The effect npon the market
was to cause a sharp decline. Gold had opened
at 12?M and thence declined to ltfl when the
statements were sent back from the Clear
ing Housa. ' Indeed, for a time the more
aonrehenslve feared a renewal of the dead'
lock of last September, and dealings were virtually
suspended. After the executive . meeting aud the
determined action of the Board in sustaining the
Cold Bank a cheerful feeling returned, and the price
ran ud to at which it finally closed. It will be
seen that Kenator Sherman has Introduced a bill for
the issue of currency to redeem the three per cents,
and also for a Bystein of free banking, the effect of
which would have been more operative had uot the
market been uistracteu dv tne above occurrences.
The stock market was heavy and dull at the open
ing, ana exiiumeu ine snorts wmca tne cliques who
have unloaded were making to buy their stocks back
again, jstismess became very null during the ex
citement in she Gold Koom, where most of tne
' brokers had gone to attend the executive session.
-After the meeting the buoyancy so perceptible In
gold extended to stocks, and the whole market
reacted from the low prices which followed the ro-
iectlon of clearances at the Gold Bank, esneciuilv as
the money market, which had become active, closed,
Willi an easier leeung. 7
"The rate on call In the earlier portion of tho dtv
. had been seven on stocks and six to seven per cent.
. on Governments, but when the Marvin Brothers'
. statement had been thrown out and they were de
. clared to have virtually failed on their contracts.
. there was a sharp demand for money at seven per
. cent, currency to neven coin, many oorrowers in
. their excitement fearing another collapse like that
. of September last However, the demand was satis
fied, and at three o'clock there was a relaxation to
. the earlier rates, foreign exobauge was actlvs and

Washington, Jan. 12 The House FostOfnce
Committee discussed the subject of abolishing
the franking privilege fof two hours this morn
ing. The general sentiment of the committee
was in favor of dispensing with franking en
tirely, and opposed to substituting the giving of
sumps to Congress in place of allowing them to
frank. It is probable that the bill offered by
Senator Stewart abolishing the franking privi
lege, and devoting the money which it costs to
maintain that Inxnry to building telegraph lines,
will be adopted. . .

"I have had the weakness to believe that a
Bonaparte could be other than an assasssin.
"I have dared to imagine that a fair dual was
possible in that family, where murder and way
laying are traditional and habitual. Our eola
borer, Pascal Grousset, has shared my error, and
to-day we mourn onr dear friend, Victor Noir,
assassinated by the ruffian Pierre Napoleon Bo

been in the blood-stained hands of these cut

for the purpose of slaughtering them at home.

Wabdington, Jan. 12. A strong opposition .
was developed in the House to-day to the bill
transferring the Philadelphia Navy Yard from
its present site to League Island. When it was
brought np by Judge Scofleld, the chairman of
the.nouse Naval Committee, Mr. Washburn, of
Wisconsin, offered an amendment, ' which, if
adopted, will make tho bill read as follows.
"Be it enacted, etc., That the Secretary of the
Navy is hereby authorized to transfer the work
ing Navy Yard of the Philadelphia station to,
League Island as rapidly as is consistent with '
the Interests of the service, and to sell said Nary
Yard as .fast as located, as he deems
consistent with public interest, but before
any sales shall . be ordered the Secretary
of the Navy - shall cause it to be
accurately surveyed and laid off into lots and
plots, on which said lots shall be duly marked
and numbered, and- all sales shall be for cash,
and shall be, after public advertisement In , at
least two , daily papers , in each
of the cities of New York and Philadelphia,
for at least thirty days before the day of sale,
which advertisement shall accurately describe
the property to be sold and terms of sale, and
all talcs shall be by sealed bids, to be made in such
manner as the Secretary of . the Naw may pre
scribe, who is authorized to reject all bids, If in
his Judgment the price offered is inadequate.
Proceeds of all such sales shall be appliod to
establishing the new Navy Yard.
'. Mr. O'Neill offered ths following proviso,
which Mr. Washburn ! accepted:
, Provided always,' o'penlnr of streets and lay
ing out of lots shall comply with the plans and
surveys of the city of Philadelphia.
All the members from Philadelphia, : Kelley,
O'Neill, Myers, and Randall, spoke in favor of
the bill, and exposed the fallacies of Washbnrne's
statements. Washburn e is fighting the measure
on the pretended ground of economy. '
' It is stated that It will be opposed by Dawes,
of Massachusetts, on the same ground. The bill
will be the special order every day during the

Mr. Dumner iiurouucea a diu to aninortse the re
funding an.-l consolidation of the national debt to
extend banking facilities, and to establish sneeie
payments. Be said that while it embodied his
former proposition of substituting bank notes for
greenbacks, the bill also provided for the refunding
and consolidation of the national debt in such a way
as to make it easy to bear, while bringing the exisu '
lne currency to a par with coin. The Dreservation
of the national credit and the reduction of existing
taxation were most essential at this time, the latter
involving iwo mings : f irst, tne reduction 01 the
present annual Interest on the -national debt; and
secondly, the spread of the national debt over suc
ceeding generations. ' Posterity could easily bear
this responsibility, and, as a matter of Justice, should
bo corapellsd to shoulder It -. ,
. By economy of taxation now our business Inte
rests would be rellevsd. The bill contemplated the
prompt extinguishment of the 6-20s of 1809, and
upon a certain period or notice, say six months, so
that distant holders in Europe may be advised, the
interest on the 6-20s of 1868 shall cease, and the
bonds be forthwith redeemed In coin. .
