INTERESTING . FROM WASHING
' TON.
The Dismissal of Army and Navy
Officers.
To-Day's Proceedings in
Congress.
FROM WASHDIGTOR
WASHINGTON, April 5. Judge Advocate
General Holt has, in response to the request of
the, Senate Committee on Military Affairs,
given his views on the House 'bill taking from
the President the power to summarily dismiss
army and navy officers, and substitute suspen
sion of such officers in command, with trial by
Court-Martial.
Judge Holt says from the foundation of the
Government the President has been in the
habit of summarily dismissing officers in the
land and naval service. The power to do so
seems to inhere to him under the constitution
as commander-in-chief of the army and navy.
His action in this respect haspeen attended
by no oppression or abuses, and,its-strict le
gality cannot be contested. The exercise,
therefore, of this authority since the outbreak
of this rebellion has nothing in it that savors
of usurpation or innovation or that should ex
cite alarm.
In the emergencies of military life, and espe
cially daring a period of active hostilities, the
interest of the service often not only require
that officers shall be instantly dismissed, but
that their places shall be immediately supplied.
This bill makes such supply impracticable in
the case of delinquent and suspended officers
because it contemplates no vacancy.
Besides this, Mr. Holt says that many other
things that the Government could not investi
gate through courts-martial, the hundreds of
cases which this bill would bring np for trial,
such a draft upon the officers of the
army needed for active field service must
greatly impair the efficiency of the campaign
now about to open in every part of the theatre
of war. The Senate Military Committee has
reported adversely to the bill.
UNION TRIUMPHS IN OHIO.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin.]
CINCINNATI, April s.—The election in this
city has restated in the entire success of the
Union ticket. The vote was light and there
was little excitement. The success of the
Union tickets in Lancaster and Dayton, the
hemes of Vallandigham and Olds, sufficiently
indicate what the verdict of the people will be
wherever peace and submission candidates are
put up.
The result in all the towns in Ohio, as far as
heard from, shows a total and complete rout
of the Verdigris democracy.
General 'jsTegley and staff are at the Burnet
House. There is no military news.
LICNESTED FOB SWINDLING.
BosTon, April sth.—Thomas R. Hamilton
and Agnew Pierce, two young Englishmen, are
under arrest on charges of attempting to swin
dle. They purchased some $lB,OOO worth of

payment on banks where their total deposits
were less than $2OO. The goods were reco
vered.

railroads of Indiana and Illinois to meet those on
the banks of the Ohio, in Kentucky, and for-the

lay the bill on the table. The motion was defeated

CITY BULLETIN.
ANNUAL [MEETING OF THF4OATAWISSA
RAILROAD,'
A meeting of the Stockholders of the Catawissa
Railroad Company was held to-day at noon, at
the office of the Company, 424 Walnut street, to
bear the report of the President and Directors of
the business done during the past year. Collin
Colbet, Esq., was called to the Chair and Mr. M.
P. Hutchinson was appointed Secretary.
The President of the Company, T. Haskins Du
Pny, Esq., read the report for the twelve months,
ending 31st December, 1663, from which we extract
the following :
Gross receipts $417,003 Ot
Less rent and use of other 86,413 lit 2
Earnings $328,589 22
(Being $5,134 21 per: mile. )
Working expenses, maintenance of
way, ,ke 200,233 57
Profits of the year $l2B 355 65
Which, after deducting interest on bonds, is
equal to 5%
. per cent. upon the amount of pre
ferred stock issued.
A comparison of the business of the Boadfor the
year 1603, with that of previous years, shows:
A decrease of payments to other
Roads of 30 13-100 per cent
A decrease of working expenses
263 per cent
An increase of earnings per cent
An increase of profits of 93 per cent
There is also a decrease of mileage of engines
and cars.
The cost of labor and materials during the year
havie been from 25 to 100 per cent. higher than pre
vious years. Yet working expenses have been
materially decreased—showing a careful and judi
-dons management of its operations.
The roadway has been extensively rimproved by
new iron and new bridges. Three new engines
and seven rebuilt and a number of new cars have
been added to the rolling stock, besides 150 sew
cars supplied by the Catawissa Car Loan Com
pany, which the company control.
The company has been presented with a large
plot of land at Catawissa, upon which engine and
machine ehops are being erected which will enable
them to construct and repair their rolling stock to
much advantage.
The Coat Property of the company has been
leased on very favorable terms, and a branch road
is nearly completed to the mines ; it is expected
that a considerable sum 'will be soon realized from
this source.
The arrangement with the Central Railroad
Company of New Jersey was alluded to as
follows:
'Advantageous negotiations have been arranged
with the Central Railroad Company of New Jer
sey, by which your road will secure a firm and
friendly ally, and give it practically a termination
in New York city, instead as heretofore, at a point
in the woods, eight miles north of the town of
Tamaqua in Schuylkill. Other arrangements
must necessarily flow from this one, which will
in due time tax the fullest capacity of your road to
move the trade offered to it.'
In addition, the President stated that since the
close of last year the contract above alluded to has
been signed and sealed, and that the business of
the road has been materially increased, requiring
at the present time more cars than can be obtained.
A thorough smbroken passenger line, each way,
between New York and Williamsport, is now in
successful operation.
In conclusion, the- Directors congratulate the
Stockholders upon the unproved condition and
bright prospects of the road, and that hereafter the
profits of She Company may be applied to tt e pay
ment of dividends.
The report of George Webb. Superintendent was
then read. It gives a detailed statement of the
workings of the road during the year. The rolling
stock has been much increased and improved-
Four locomotaues are now in course of construc
tion. Several of the bridges have been rebuilt,
others are being renewed and repaired, and the
road Is now in excellent order. During the year
not a single passenger has been killed by an
accident.
The report of W. L. Gilroy, Esq., Treasurer,
was next read. It seta for lb in detail the financial
condition of the road.
On motion, the reports were accepted, and were
ordered to e printed for the use of the . Stock
h•lders.
In replying to' some questions ' Mr. Du Puy
stated that a very large increase of business is ex
pected this year. More has been promised than the
capacity of the road, at present, can accommodate.
The receipts for the first quarter ending the 31st of
March, show an increase of 14 per cent. over the
same period last year.
After a few remarks complimentary to the man
agement by several of the Stockholders, the meet
ing adjourned.

Irregular.
Weak.
There was a marked advance of orders at the
Stock Board this morning for the low-priced Mining
and Oil stocks, and prices ruled rather irregularly.
Government Loans were again active, and the
Five• Twenties sold freely at 1103((i)1103(—an ad
vance of 34 Ii cent. State Fives were firm at 9934
1:99X, and the War Loan at 10734. City Loans
were firm at 11034 for the new, and 104®10434 for
the old issues. Camden and Amboy Railroad wai
steady at 15134. Pennsylvania Railroad was active
at 79411193'—en advance of X. In Reading Railroad
there was quite a reaction, and it sold down to 79
—a decline of s from the kighest'point. . Catawissa
Railroad was quite active at 4234—an advance of 1,
but the Common stock was dull. Sahn3Plidll Navi
gation Preferred was weak, and declined 134, and
the'Coramoa stock-34; the Bonds were firm, and in
demand at 100. New Creek declined 34, and closed
at 2. North Pennsylvania Railroad and Philadel
phia and Erie Railroad are neglected. Bank shares
were held firmly. Girard sold at 49X, and a few
shares of the Third National Bank, which has been
but a few weeks in operation, at 105. Passenger
Railway securities were more sought after. Chest
nut and Walnut Streets sold at 63—an advance of 1,
and Spruce and Pine Streets at 1534. Race and
Vine Streets is unsettled, and closed 20 asked and
14 bid.
Among the sales of Government loans to-day were
160,000 of the new 10-40 loan by the First National
Pank.
The annual meeting of the stockhOlders of the
Catawissa Railroad Company was held at noon to
day. A report of the proceedings will be found in
another portion of to-day's Bottrrrs. The -meet
ing was quite harmonious, and all present seemed to
be entirely satisfied that the management of their
interests was in competent hands. When it is con
sidered that but three years..ago. the property was
in such a "dilapidEited condllion” that its continued
existence was a matter of ddubt, and that the pre
ferred stock Bold at less than four dollars per share,
and the common below one dollar, the present re
port of the condition and prospects of the company
speaks volumes for those who have had the control.
The Catawissa bids fair, at no distant day, to take
its place among the regular 'dividend paying roads
of the country. .
