It will bo seen that some of the trn's held by the city are of very lnsip;niflcent propor tions. The total receipts and payments, how ever, amount to about half a million dollars per year, nearly the whole being included under the head of the (ilrard estate. The receipts and pay ments on behalf of each trust fund during the year 1W.I, and the balances on hand and invest ments on the 1st of January, 1870, were as fol lows: Hemp's mfci.

Travellers who use the through line from New York to Washington are greatly inconvenienced by the arrangements now in force on that line, and are clamorous that Congress shall adopt ft bill chartering a new air-lino railroad company, thatcannot be bought up or merged into exist ing corporations. .'As the present arrangements are, little comfort Is afforded tho traveller. In Baltimore the sleeper is aroused by a horrid bawling sound that issues from a tin nom during the snail's-pacc transit by horse-power through that city. This is kept up for thirty minutes during the trip between Camden and President stations. The transfer around Philadelphia Is done amid bumping and whistlings from donkey-engines, causing a delay of thirty minutes more, during which time it is Impossible to sleep. The managers seem to take little Interest in the comfort of the traveller. He is told when he tails to get a scat to stand up or go by some ether line. The regular ear for Philadelphia leavingWashlngton at 12 45 in the da', is on old. worn-out, broken-down sleeping car, which comes down again at ulght to accommodate sleepers. It smells like a police headquarters or a Philadelphia court house. The same depot accommodations used here now were considered insutlicient twenty years ago. Sometimes the rear cars upon iirnval of a train at Baltimore, Jersey City, or Washington aro three hundred feet ont in tho mud, and passengers are obliged to walk through it to the depot or go through the cars, which latter is very disagreeable aud dangerous to aged pereous. Those who reach the train too late to ouy a ticket must pay iJ5 cents extra between here and Baltimore, 25 cents extra to go through Baltimore, and an addi tional extra charge on each of the three other roads he passes over befoto reaching New York. The same rule works both ways. In most cases these extra charges fall upon poor persons who do not know the requirements exacted by the live companies between Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. Returns of the Passenger Railway Com panies. The following are the returns of gro-is receipts for the month of January, 1870, of the passenger railway companies whose olliccrs are in the Fourth district: Germantown .$25,385 Citizens' l'.),45i West Chester and Philadelphia 1:1,212 Philadelphia City '20,045 West Philadelphia 27,12ti Seventeenth and Nineteenth 8,563 Kidge Avenue and Manayunk 2,249 Ulrard College 11,752 Gradcoaic;::::::::::::::::::::::::i3:m Union Line 37,8!r7 Uestonvillc and Mantua 18,839 The "Star" Course op Lectures. Mr. fieorgc William Curtis is announced as the next "Star in this course, lie will lecture on ihurs- day evening, February 24th, at the Academy of Music, his theme being "Our National Folly The Civil Service," As tho editor of Earner's "Weekly Mr. Curtis has been a cordial supporter of the principle involved in Mr. Jenckes' bill for the reorganization of the civil service, and this lecture will undoubtedly be a thorough discus sion of this important subject. Mr. Curtis is one of tho most graceful speakers before the Ttnlitln otiH hn ta Itaatftna a mtm rf lar.ra anA liberal ideas, so that in his treatment of tEe civil service question he will scarcely fail to impress his bearers with the importance of the needed reiorme. Dividend Taxes. During the past year the lAly solicitor received the lollowing sums, belna the amount of tax on dividends declared by tho passenger railway companies named: West Philadelphia Railway Company, tax on dividend for 1808, 18'J0; Second and Third Streets Com pany, tax on dividend for 1868, $1014-23; Citi zens' Passenger Railway Company, tax on divi dend for 18ti8. $3000; Green aud Coates Streets Company, tax on dividend for 1808, $000; Girard College liaiiway company, tax on dividend for 1807 and 1808, $2400 making a total of $9501 -28. Shootino. About one o'clock this morning oue John C. Cronln entered into a conversation with a 6trangcr at Ninth and Walnut streets. their subject being Feniunlsm.

Tim Oru ham-Moon rcv Contest. Tho legis lative committee appointed to investigate the claims of (iraham to contest tho scat of Mooncy from the Sixth district, met in Sansom street, below Klghth, at 10 o'clock this morning. At the beginning of the proceedings tho question arose as to the legality of admitting the papers and ballots as evidence. Tho committee, after a prolonged deliberation, decided that the papers could be so oflered. The box containing the 1 apers as filed in tho Trothonotary's office was opened, and the returns were found to coincide with tho proven facts. TUe ballots were then offered. Mr J. Alexander Simpson, counsel for Mr. (iraham, offered to ope the ballot-boxes, which was objected to by tho counsel for the other side, on the ground that such a procedure was not contained in the specifications of tho petition. This had also been the ground for the objection to the papers being offered in evi dence which the committee had decided to admit. Tho committee, after again deliberating, de cided to admit the ballots as evidence. The counsel for Mr. Mooney thereupon asked the committee to adjourn for the rircfcnt, because by this action the committee haj. taken the sit ting member and his counsel by Burjnrlse, and time was required for consultation. The coun sel also stated tust the proceedings in the enr.y part of the day had been unexpected.. Some illtcen or twenty citizens had been subpoenaed as witnesses, and had been examined as to Which way they had voted at the election. On motion of Mr. Urobst, from Berks county, the committee adjourned to meet in Ilarrlstmrg next Wednesday to consnlt, and on next Satur day afternoon In Philadelphia to receive testi mony.

About eleven o'clock last night a party of three men got on one of the Market t-trect cars at Eighth and Market streets, and after riding a short distance two of them arose and made lor the door, near which was sitting a passenger, whom they sud denly granbea by the throat, when he immedi ately yelled, '"Oh, they've got it," when they jumped off and he after them.

To the Hditor ofThti Tribune. I for ono am getting: alarmed, and disposed to appeal, vainly perhaps, lor help. In tuo name oi the majority of the women ot this lund I cull upou men to help us against our sisters. It tbero not some probability, dully growing stronger, of the passage of tlie sixteenth amend ment to the Constitution? If passed without beiny: lirtt subniiited to the women of America it will bo an outrage. The small, dissatisfied minority have not the shadow of a right to force upon us a measure which tht! most of us heartily and earnestly de test. If the men will oulv stand faithful, and firmly refuse to let us bo draped Into a work for which we arc wholly unfitted by nature, education, and tastes, the blessing the majority of tho "fair sex" will rest upon them. If these Woman Sufirase women only had a single forcible, sensible argument to urge in proof that the ballot will be of any use to u, one might have some patience with them. As it is, uieir empty, utterly profitless talK about op pression, tyranny, aud tho like fills me with disgust and horror, as I am forced to fear that I see tne approach ol the dreadful day. I wish every woman and every man would read l)r. Uuihnell's book, "Woman's Suffrage, tho Reform against Nature." . 1 do not see how they can refuse to assent to his reasoning. It is a bravo and reasonable word, gallautly spoken, for whjcli I, with thousands of my sex, heartily thank him. I wish Miss Anthony, or Mrs. Stanton, or Miss Dickinson, would answer It: I don't mean heap epithets upon him in the Iteoo- tuium style, but aiwwer all nis arguments and refute them 7 twi can. 1 think the work would convert them. In such a nation as this, where in most of the States the laws are absurdly, and unjustly almost, In favor of - women, this movement seems to me tho height of loll v and uselessnoss. For one, I would quite as willingly bo admitted to the rights of the bullet as to the rights of the ballot. "We have a right to vote" has nothing to do with Itao far as I can see. Perhaps we have, so far as man is concerned, but we cer tainly have not, so fav as our own nature goes. Don t for one moment suppose that I think wo are not capable of it. I think with Dr. Bush- nell, the most knightly champion w women could have, that we are mado for finer ases. , Ah. dear Tribuu. you have bo much power, von u-o into so ruanv homes, can 1 you . teach women that if they, are oulv true women, all that God means them to be, they need never sigh to be men 1 for they will find that, without ever condescending to pollute themselves with the nltch of the political arena, they are the governing sex governing in the only way that a woman can consistently rule, by their noble iniiucnce upon their sons, whoso characters they form, and by tho Innate force of their pure, true womanliness. And, if by constant agitation these women suceced in carrying their measure, oh, men. when tho sixteenth amendment is submitted to your votes, as you valuo true womanhood, as yon love tho quiet, gentle, pure spirit oi nomo, vote to a man against It.

The Government is nt a dead lock with the Legislative Council because the former has dismissed Mr. Botsford, who had been for many years Clerk of the Council, and tho Council refuse to recocnize theso olliccrs, and have retained tsotsford in his position. : The Government accused Botsford of enter- 'taining annexation sentiments, and say that he owes the provisional ireasurya large sura ol money. The committee of the Legislative Coun cil have reported mat tncy consider tne uover-nor-General as the only representative of Her Majesty in the Dominion, and as Botsford holds his commission direct from the urown, tncy re gard the action of the Government as Illegal. The Newfoundland House of Assembly has asrreed to tho paragraph In reply to the Lieute nant-Governor's reference to confederation with Canada. It declares a crowinc feellntr of disin clination to link the destinies of Newfoundland with those of the Dominion, in the future of which they can at present see nothing to Inspire hope, out mucu to create apprenension. C O N U IK 12 S S. Renate. Continued from the Third Edition. Mr. Ramsey called up the annual Post Route bill, which was variously amended, and passed. Mr. Spencer, by unanimous consent, addressed the Senate upon the bill to regulate tho hours of labor of Government laborers and mechanics. His speech was. mainly in reply to the Senator from Vermont. Mr. Morrll, who . had assumed that tuo eight- hour system necessitated a eorresponding re duction in the wages of laborers. He advocated the claims upon tho Government of tho labor ing classes in Governmental employ, and urged the passage of the pending bill upon this sub ject without amendment, so that the beneficont purposes of the eight-hour system might be secured to those for whose benefit they were designed. ir. Upton, rising to a pnvnegeu question, said that it appeared by tho Globe that on the previous dny the Senator from Massachusetts (Mr. Sumner) had forwarded to tho Clerk and had read a telegram from the Governor of Ne braska announcing the ratification of tho fif teenth amendment by the Legislature of that State. Believing that parliamentary courtesy required that such intelligence should be com municated by ono of the Senators representing that State, he would now inquire of his colleague (Mr. Thaver) whether he had received auy official information on tho subject. Mr. Thayer said ho had received from tho Governor of Nebraska a despatch similar in pur port to tho one which had been read at the suggestion of Mr. Sumner. If the Governor of Nebraska had desired the reading at the Clerk's desk of any telegram from him ho,(Mr. Thayer) thought that a Senator from Nebraska would have been preferred by the Governor to make tbe request.
