WRIGHT, President' of the Northern Pacific Railway Co., of which we have been furnished' a copy addressed To the Preferred Stockholders of the Northern PaCilic Railway," embracing a brief state ment of the condition and prospects of the company. This circular states that when the panic of 5ept.,.187;3, came, $30,000,000 of bonds had been sold, the interest onwhich was near ly $2,400,000 annually. The trustees of the mortgage, With" sdpe of the bondholders, had a receiver appoint ed in: April; 1875. The bondholders met on the 30th of June following and appointed a committee, which after and brought the road to a judi dial sale. _The assenting stockholders converted themselves into preferred stockholders and perketed a reor ganization by the election of their own board of directors. The road is built and in operation from Lake Su perior to the Missouri river at Bis marck, 450. miles. The Pacific divis ion is in operation from the deep wa• ters of the Columbia river to Tacoma, the terminus on Puget Sound, 105 mileS. The gross receipts of these portions of the road last year were $618,590; the net income,• $152,140. The whole 555 miles have 'Ten ae cepted by the government, which en titles the company to 10,800,000 acres of land. • The company is sell inglaud rapidly at an average of $5 per acre. Resumption of work is promised this season, and the road is td be completed when times get bet ter. Nine-tenths of the bonds issued' have been surrendered and converted into preferred stock. The remainder is rapidly coming in. The 7-30 bonds are exchanged for preferred stock at the rate of $1,500, of the latter for each $l,OOO of bonds. This stock is received at par for the company's lands east of the Missouri river. As this information is of interest to many readers of the REPORTER who were purchasers of Northern Pacific stock in the heyday of the:initial op erations of the company, we publish it for their benefit. U. S. SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN has written a letter on the Yresidential question, in which he expresses a preference for Gov. HATES, of Ohio, for the Republican candidate. He regards Dehlocratic success as meah, ins ruin to the country, and saYs: The Southern States are to be or ganized by violence and intimidation into a compact political power, only needing a small fragment of the Northern States to give it absolute control, when by a minority rule of the party it will govern the country as it did in'the time of ,Pierce and Buchanan. If it should elect a Pres ident and both houses of Congress, the Constitutional amendments would be disregarded, the freed men would be nominally citizens, but really slaves, innumerable claims, swollen by perjury, would be saddled upon the Treasury, and our public credit would be impaired, the powers of the Gengral Government would be crip pled, and the honors won by our peo ple in subduing the rebellion would be subjects of reproach rather than of pride.

" the secret of, Mr.MOOOPs success,'" EI but those who', , have watched the man will, we think auTee'witlins.that thisli Sect'paragraph from the NeW S. - ork'Ecen4 9—:P6st tells the whole i truth in a.ll nutshell— and is, perhaps.' the truest , ,•, (6eription of his • systein_ that has? yet been published.

Mr. 'MoodY i is not -very persnaSive speaker ''and he is 6ertainly,neither a profound thinkeii: nor an accomplished logician. In the -1 pulpit as out of it he is it plain blunt man; with no new gospel And no new notion of the' old one to proclaim. lie is very much in earnest, however, not only in his desire to' accomplish tile ends he has set hiinself; but equial-r ly in his conviction - that the work is one in which man by hiniself can Flo absolutely nothing: In his devo tion' to: the work,.and his conviction that it must be done of God it' it is to be done at all, lies the secret of his' uniform success. Believing that man can do nothing and ,that God only can , do anything, he begins by preaching that alone.
