EVENING BULLETIN. Vbaradsri rtOrnair *9s *B6B. ymKWMMWOSM. IN MIEKATIIHB. Vic 6 and crime are not modern inventions. „ The fiat sensational drama of recognized hu man history was enacted in the garden of Eden. But there was no audience to witness the performance and experience a sensation; there were no printing machines to publish the story; there were no critics to condemn or commend the style; there were no people to read the criticisms outside of one fatnuy circle. - Thus the earth was' in such a mis erable state that a writer could have had no chance for success, who could now make a fortune by telling —if the story were new— how a pure young woman yielded to the temp tations of a devil in the shape of a snake; how she eat an apple that was forbidden her to cat- how she seducrd her husband to commit the same sin; how trouble was thus brought into her immediate family, and waß made a fomily inheritance for all generations; how her sons got in a quancl in which one slew the other; and how, from these first crimes, came s retribution of punishment and misery, in volving and pursuing indefinite generations, The simple scripture narrative of Adam and his family involves all the emotions, the pas sions, the joyß and the sorrows-of humanity. But, if now printed in a magazine or ft novel, with a thousand millions of Adam’s descend ants as a reading public,it is doubtful whether the story would pay.. Even in Milton’s time, when told in the sublimcst verse of which the English language is capable, no publisher •would give more than five pounds for ,the manuscript. In Queen Elizabeth’s time, lived in Eng land the greatest dramatic poet the world has produced. He wrote a num ber of plays that were full of examples ol'all the human passions, drawn with such strength and fidelity as. cannot be surpassed.. Some of the dramas were, in the highest degree, sensational No modern writer of repute has given such tremendous incidents as are to be found in Macbeth, Hamlet, Lc-ar, Richard 111., Othello and others of Shakespeare’s plays. Butin his own time the public appetite had not a morbid craving for "stories of conjugal infidelity, jealousy, murder and ghosts, and his plays were only moderately successful. The genius and the poetic skill of Milton and • SJiakespearo ate even now less thought of than are the vulgar gifts of scores of novel-makers who have neither genius nor poetic skill. Provided the writer can make a Btory of bigamy, or adultery, or murder, or other crime, it matters little what tbe style may be, Wilkie Collins, Mrs. Wood, Miss Braddon am] a dozen.more English novel-writers have now a hundred readers, perhaps a thousand, where Shakes pearehasone. Of popular living novelists, Dickens is the best in style, in the construction of kis stories and in delineation of characters. But even he, in the works of bis later years, has con descended to gratify slightly the depraved public taste for the sensational. Miss Evans, the author of “Adatn Bede,” deserves rank near Dickens, and she has not gone deeply into the sensation business. Anthony Trol lope’s novels are quitc free from this fault But with these exceptions, there are but few English writers of fiction whose hooks can be considered as contributions to a good and permanent literature. The modem writer who had the best and highest idea of the mission of a novelist wa9 Thack eray. ' His novels are still a delicious refrosh T ment to literary epicures sated or nauseated, with a course of the sensational school He never condescended to any of the stage tricks and the machinery of bigamy, adultery, suicide, murder and all thfe other crimes of the Newgate Calendar, to make his books popular, and the consequence is that they are not popular, as are those of Collins, Yates, Keade and the ladies of the same school. But he was rising in popularity when he died, and if he had 'lived, he might have exercised a healthy influence on his contem poraries, and made English fiction-writing more respectable than it is. Indeed no one can read any of Thackeray’s later novels, and compare them with the trifles and burlesques that he formerly wrote, without feeling that one who had advanced so far and so well in a short time, was capable of doing even greater thißgs, if he had lived. He died too soon for his own fame, for mankind and for ihe cause of a healthy literature. English poetry has declined as English prose haß declined. Indeed, there is no living English poet that can he called great except Tennyson, and he, happily, 1b not sensational, having won fame before the rage for the sensa tional t>egan. But there are poets who have sought to become popular by catering to the vulgar appetite. The most notable example is .Swinburne, whoso most elaborate work was. even too gross for’tke present taste, and hnl to be suppressed. Poetry is not convenient ibr telling stories of'bigamy, adultery and. other crimes, or wo should have more verse writers engaging in the sensational business. But it is fairly to be presumed that the dearth of good poetry is due, in a great measure, to the depraved literary taste of the age, which asks for extravagant tales of crime, without considering the style in which they are written. But a time must come when this bad appetite will become sated. There must bd a limit to the monstrous inventions of modern romancers; at all events there must Ire a limit to the popular liking of them. American writers have not engaged largely in the production of sensation stories, and it may be that a reform In the English literature of fiction is to begin on American soil. Hawthorne, Holmes and Bayard Tay lor have written admirable novels, .in choice language, and without extravagance of. inci dent Two of them are yet living and are capable of doing even better things than they have heretofore done. Mrs. Btowe.Mrs. Davis and a few other American women have , written better and healthier novels than those of the sensational women of England. Per haps hereafter American literature will, bo-" eome distinguished from English literature by its naturalness, ite healthy tone, and its free dom from the vices of the sensational school the tA»T»k»r Wlien nn individoa! or a corporation wil fully violatca well-known law,tlie wrong done extends far beyond tbe immediate injury tor dieted upon thosowliomtho particularlaw was framed to protect It is not' only ' the peace, the security or the convenience of tho community that is assailed, but a great wrong is done to the whole cause of public morals. The preihium which, is offered to lawlessness, In a country where all the obli gations of law are less rigorously felt than under despotic governments, carries with it a demoralizing inflaence that no man can esti mate. When a wealthy corporation defies the law because it can afford to pay the penalty, it ceases to be a public benefactor and becomes a public pest and curse. Penalties are imposed to prevent crime and not to measure the limits within which crime shall be tolerated, and the law is stripped of its dignity and the moral sense of the people is degraded when individuals or corporations undertake to hold themselves superior to the clearly expressed statutes and ordinances which the people have established for their own benefit and protection. In the face of these admitted principles, the railway companies of Philadelphia, rVith but few exceptions, have dared to set the law which was lately enacted against the salt nuisance utterly at defiance. On last Monday night several of the railway tracks were again .salted, and the old, disgusting compound of salt-slush now lies in pools at the crossings, and oozes along the rails, just as it did last winter and the yeaU before; The Chestnut and Walnut street track, for instance, is marked with the un mistakable proofs of this outrageous violation of law, over its entire length, at least on this side of the Schuylkill. Many of the cross ings are unpayable except by wading through the cold, filthy mixture, and the sidewalks in the neighborhood are rapidly being coaled with the same offensive slime. This particu lar road is cited as an example of what was done under cover of night by many of the railway companies, because it runs through a central and busy part of the city, where everybody cau see for himself what has been done. As this flagrant offence against a popular law is beißg made the subject of investiga tion by the police authorities, we hope to be able to state precisely how, when and by whom the outrage was perpetrated. On the road mentioned above the police observed men at night thro wing what appeared to be ashes on tbe track. In the morning the ashes had disappeared and the salt slush had taken their place. This trick can certainly be fraced out r by any clever police officer and the offenders brought to justice. On' another road, one of our cor respondents followed a brush-car, late at night, and picked up the lumps of salt as they were distributed on the track. On another line the regular salt-car was run over the road between ten and eleven o’clock at night, and the track was profusely salted; and so on with other roads. The police authorities should be vigor ously sustained in prosecuting this gross vio lation of law. The patrolmen themselves ought to be sufficient witnesses, as it seems impossible that miles of street railway could be salted without their knowledge; but if they did not see it done, there must have been many citizens' who did, and they should not hesitate to aid tbe authorities in punishing this out rageous offence. The present condition of the tracks of some of the roads is enough to satisfy everybody of the fact, but human tes timony will be necessary to prosecute and convict the offenders. ■ The present penalty is tlie forfeiture of the licenses of the cars. If this penalty is no heavy enough, Councils should see to it tha it is made heavier* The law-making power of Philadelphia has been grossly in sulted in this matter, and the officers of these overbearing monopolies should be made to feel that there are still some powers which the people have reserved in their own bands. We urge upon His Honor the Mayor, and the Chief of Police to ferrot this matter to the bottom and to bring the offenders to punishment. The police should bo em powered to seize any salt-car or other appli ance for salting the tracks, whenever or wherever they may find it in operation, and they should, moreover, bo cautioned not to allow these law-defying corporations to throw ashes in tlieir eyes on these dark winter nights. PREVENTION AND CERE. The Chicago Tribune, speaking in the in terest of insurance companies, complains that insurance is a losing business in that city. This is not to be wondered at. Mere shells of houses, with huge stocks of valuable goods piled up under a single roof, and a conflagra tion without efllcient meanß for its extin tinguishment, mußt of necessity bring inevi table lobs and possible ruin to somebody. In surance is a very excellent thing, and sub stantial insurance companies are very excel lent institutions; but the fact is patent that their system of doing business is what in the end entails upon them the huge loßßes of which they complain. With a seemingly strange in consistency which comes of over-competit ion, insurance agents actually discourage the em ployment of the ordinary safeguards against losses by fire. Stingy capitalists, who care for nothing but the immediate return on their investments, carefully weigh the difference between the cost of fire-prevention and insu rance, jind if the expense of a policy is less than the cost of providing sufficient precau tions against the spread of fire, parapets and* stout walls get the go-by. Insurance com panies, in their hot competition for busiuess, bring about the very condition of things which ■ such disasters as that at Chicago cause them to mourn over. It they would refuse to insure any property where the ordinary precautions against fire have been neglected, there would be less of wooden cornices, thin walls, shingled Man sard roofs and architectural fire-traps gen erally.' j Let insurance agents fixsuch prices for poltyieß upon wooden roofs and cornices, bollow-Btudding partitions, &c., as will make cure more eostly than prevention, and there will be less of e*ig-shell building aud more of careful regard for safety. Building laws are JI’HE DAILY EVENING BtTOTIN.--PH3I.I ATTOyHIA. FEBBTJARY 13 r iaoB. > very good in their way, but there is a more potent law, and.that, is the logic of the, pocket. Insurance companies can appeal di rectly to this great influence, and they have only to will it and the wasteful losses by con flagration, which are so . serious k drawback upon the 1 prosperity of the country, will be lessened.’ • • V . . 1 v Dentil of Admiral Engle. 1 Kear-Admiral Englo , died, at hla, residence in Delancey Place, last evening, in the 69th year of hie ,age. Admiral Engle was a native of fiela ware County, Pa., and entered the.naval service in : 1814. During the Mexican war he commanded the Princeton,' and distinguished himself for his activity- and skill in the blockading squadron. _ A large portion of big service hns beon on land, connected with the Va rious Naval Boards. At the outbreak of the re bellion Admiral Engle was sent out to China to assume command of the Hartford, and brought that famous ship home to this port. He was afterwards put In command of the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and his last Berylce was as Governor of the Philadelphia Naval Asylum, a post which he held until superseded by Admiral Paulding. Admiral Engle married a sister of Bishop Mc- Ilvaine and his widow and several children sur vive him. He was highly esteemod in the Navy, as an energetic, faithful and accomplished officer, and his death Will be sincerely regretted not only by his professional brethren, but by a large circle of relatives and personal friends. . Dickens • REAixmos.-i-The last two readings which Mr. Dickenß will give in Philadelphia take place to-nigbt and to-morrow night. The pro gramme for to-night is “The Christmas Carol’’ and “Boots at the Holly Tree-Inn;" and for to morrow, “Doctor Marigold” and “The, Trial from Pickwick." Mr. Dickens has had a brilliant success at Washington, where his readings were attended by all the distinguished people of the city, and at Baltimore, where the Crowd demanded extra seats. There will, doubtless, be another splendid audience at Concert Hall to-night. MUSICAL. Cam, Woi-Fsonn’s Matinees, —The fourth matinee of this series will bo given in the Foyer of the Academy of Music to-morrow afternoon. The following programme baa been prepared: Sonata—E major, optis 14, Nb. 'I. Allegro- Allegretto—Rondo, Allegro Commodo. Aria— “ With Verdure Clad,” from the Creation—Haydn. Sonata—G major, opus 31, No. 1. Allegro Vi vace Adagio Grnzioso Rondo, Allegretto. Songs—(n.) Mutter, O sing rnich zUr Rnh— Haydn, (b.) Anf fliigeln des Gesanges—Men delssohn. Sonata—E minor, opus 90. Allegro— Rondo, Allegretto. La Grande Duciiemre, — Im Grande Duchcsse. de G erolstein wap repeated at the Academy last evening to a full house. The members of Mr. Bateman’s company have become so thoroughly familiar with Iheir respective parts, by constant repetition, that the performance proceeds like a piece of nicely adjusted machinery. There can bo nO improvement without a modification of some of tne more objectionable features, and in this respect the demands of refinement and good taste seem to call for some alteration. It is un necessary to specify the precise passages which need toning down. The objection lies sometimes in a gesture, a Jeer, a movement of the body, that iB entirely uncalled for by the text, and is too extravagant even for so broad a burlesque as this. The opera is handsomely mounted. The costumes are unusually good, and the strict at tention to-detail, even in the case of the most'in significant private in the “grand army,” gives a richness and effectiveness to the scene upon the stage that is rarely obtained.

THIRD EDITION Detraction of the Revenue Oatter She Takes Fire and is Blown Up, TWO OF BBS CBBW DBOWSBD A Narrow Escape of the Best. Ai Hcvenue Cutter Burned and Blown lip. ■: • Forteem Monroe, Feb. 11.—Lieut. A. J. Hel mut, of the United States revenue cutter Nemaha, arrived} here this evening, and reports that on Friday morning, at about 9 o’clock, the cutter took fire, and in about 20 minutes after blew up ■with a fearful explosion. The fire was first dis covered in tho galley way, and all hands were called to.extingnish it. The wind was blowing very fresh and a heavy eca running, and so rapidly did the ((lames spread that the officers and crew saw there was no hdpe of saving the vessel. Knowing there was a large quantity of powder on board, and that, too, in the immediate vicinity of the tlamcs, they at onco took steps to save themselves. As soon as the first boat was lo wered it was manned and filled, bnt while this was being done, two men, named John Glnneli, cockswain, from NewPointComfort and Wm.Strond, master at-arms, attempted to lower away another boat, bnt in tbclr haste they got her caught in the wheel and swamped her, and they were both ' drowned before assistance epuld be rendered them. There was but one more boat left, ana Into this the balance of the crew,were stowed, and the boats started for shore. They were about five miles out when they abandoned the steamer, and as it was blowing a gale ofwmd at the time and freezing cold, there was very tow' ol'them ever expected to reach the shore. However, they kept at their, okra with a will, and by good management the two boats, with their wet and half frozen crews, reached the shore In safety. I'pon landing,they found themselves upon a bar ren, marshy beach, with no sign of u habitation In eight. The prospect to a half-frozen man was not a cheering one, bnt knowing that to standstill a few mlnntes was to. freeze, they struck across the country, and after traveling about a mile, came to .La Grange farm, the residence of Mr. Harding, of Nortimtnberland county, who kindly took them in and supplied them with food and clothing. They endeavored to get a vessel to bring them dqwn to the Fort, but none was to be had. On Monday morning Lieuten ants Melcjiut and Smith volunteered to take tbc cutter's boat, and with five men for a crow, ran down toNew Point, some ;?) miles distant, where they could communicate by steamer with Norfolk. They bad a perilous voyage, but suc ceeded hr leaching New Point in a half-frozen condition, where they had the good fortune to find the revenue cutter Northerner,- of the Balti more Station, which is cruising In the lower bay to avoid the ice, and went at once to-bring the officers and crew of tho Nemaha to Norfolk. The following Is a list of the Nemaha’s officers: Captain, Thomas Sands, commanding; Lien tenants, J. E. Wilson, A, J, Meleliut and H. D. Smith; First Assistant Engineer, Charles J. Sal terlee; Second Assistant Engineer, Abner Green leaf;- Pilot, I>. Shinault, and acrew of 27 men. As soon as the Nemaha was discovered to be on fire, she was headed for the shore .and sunk in abonr four fathoms of water. Aboutfour feet of her masts are out of the water at low tide. There was a large quantity of powderon bond, and it la said the explosion was heard u distance of thirty miles. The Nemaha was an old vessel, and has been on this station since the war. It is said she was originally a New Fork ferry boat, bnt bad been bought by the Govemmentand rebuilt, and it is thought it will not pay to raise her. Her anchors and chains and ikdnance might be obtained with out much difficulty, and arc about all that is worth saving. The officers lost all their clothing, money, and valuables; most of them had on their old clothes and saved no others. Llent. Melchnt lost about •t 75 in money, Mr.Grecinleaf,Bf<o, and a fine gold watch. But they were all satisfied to escape with their lives. Pul iii for liarbor-jßcliooners W ,fc B. Doug lass.

Mr. Stevena’s Impeachment Report. ITS DEFEAT IN COMMITTEE THE YEAS AND NAYS. FATAL, KAIL, BO AD ACCIDENT The impeachment Question. (Special Despatch to tbo,Phl!adolphfa Evening Bulletin.] Wo-tm.NGToN, Feb. I.l.—The Reconstruction Committee held a brief session this morning, all the members being present. Thaddeus. Stevens, stated that he wanted to bring the subject of, im peachment to a test in the Committee. He be lieved the investigation had gone far enough, and that the time had come when some tangible ac tion should be taken. Ho had prepared; he said, the following'report to the House, and he would now take the sentiments of the members .Of the committee thereon: “ The Committee on Reconstruction, to whom was referred the cor ixApondencepf Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, and U. 8. Grant, General Com manding the Armies of the United States, having considered the same and the evidence, do report that, in virtue of the powers with which your committee has been invested, they have fully ex amined the evidence before them, and are of the opinion that 'Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, is guilty of high crimes and misde meanors, and therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: ffwJred, That Andrew Johnson. President of thu United Btates, he impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. Resolved, That the Committee go to the Benate and at the bar thereof, in the name of the House of Representatives and of all the people of the United States, do impeach Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, and acquaint the Senate that the House of Representatives will, in due time, exhibit particular articles ol impeachment against him: ana make good tile same. Resolved, That the said Committee do demand that the Senate take order for tho appearance of said Andrew Johnson “to answer to the said impeachment.'’ Ae - soon as the reading of the resolution was finished. Judge Bingham moved to lav the re port and the whole subject of impeachment on the table. Mr. Stevens said be wanted the yeas and nays recorded on that motion, so that the country might know who was and who was not in favor of inking cognizance of the high crimes and misdemeanors committed by the President. A vote was then taken and stood: Yeti*, Messrs Bingham, Beaman. Paine, Httl burd. Brooks sed Beck. A«.ys, Messrs. BtevenS, Barnwell and Farnsworth. So the entire matter was laid on the table and the Commitico, ad journed. Tbaddcus Steveus is greatly chagrined at the resuit, though he says he did not expect it to be much different. He says the RepnbUcan party Is virtually defeated, and all through the cow ardice of its own members. He attaches much of the blame ,to General Grant and his friends, who, be says, became fright ened and demoralized, for what reason he did not exactly know. It is his firm belief that had the friends of General Grant, as well as General Grant himself, kept, their hands off, nothing could have saved Johnson. So ends the second attempt at impeachment. XLIh CsatTCH— Secofid Session* Washington, I<%b. 13,1868.

TpgDAIKr EVmjNG THURSDAY) FEBRUARY 1?, 1868. O’Olook. Mr. Thomas Mullin (Dem.), of Philadelphia, offered the following: Whereas, William H. Kemble, Esq., State’ Treasurer, in a business communication with the banking house of August Belmont & Co., of Ne w . York, in his official capacity has seen fit to east a slur upon the religions belief of the gentleman with whom he was corresponding; and ichcreajij it is essential to the preservation of the dig nity of the Commonwealth that those holding public positions should on all occasions treat wirh courtesy those having official business with them, and a departure from lids rule meets the disapprobation of every man having the in terest ot the State at heart; therefore, Resolved, That the conduct of the said Wm. U. Kemble, State Treasurer, in the premises, meets, wilb the disapproval of this House. The resolution Was disagreed to by a vote of 23 yeas to 53 nays, the Republicans Voting solid against tbe resolution, as also several Democrats. In the House, Mr. Bull, Democrat, of Phila delnbla, on leave being given, made a statement. He read an article Irom the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph of the 10th inst., headed ,“Whv!” The article inquired why the Committee on Municipal Corporations had negatived the bill introduced by Mr. 8., abolishing the fees of the Row offi cers and giving them fixed salaries, and froeccded to say that the people of hiladelphia demand to know the rea sons against the bill which were so pow erful as to cause an unfavorable report, and that they looked to the members of theMunlci palCommittee for a response; and proceeded to recite the names of the members of the Commit tee; also, a paragraph from the Evening Bon i.etin. Mr. Bnll said that for himself he was pre pared to show by his vote in this House exactly how he stood in relation to this measure, and to give his reasons therefor. He was ready to show here what he did in Committco and why he did it Mr. Thorn (Republican), of Philadelphia, called the gentleman to order, on the ground that it was out of order for him to state here what the gentlemen did in Committee, and the Speaker rnjed the point well taken. Mr. Bull explained that he had no intention of revealing the secrets of the Committee, but for tbe purpose of giving the gentleman from Phila delphia (Mr. Thom) and the other members of tbe Committee an opportunity to express themselves on the subject, he moved that tbe House do now proceed to tho consideration of the bill in question. On the question, “Will the House suspend the rules for tbe purpose of considering this bill?” Mr. Thom called for a division of the question. The question therefore being, “ Will the House sus pend the rules generally?” Mr. Bull withdrew his motion and so the mat ter rests for the present. The call for a division ol‘ tbe question defeated the object of Mr. B. in securing a vote upon tbe bill. Prom Washington, Washington, February 13.—The President has approved and signed tho bill providing that the words, “Place where the bank is located and not elsewhere,” in Section -11 of the National Cur rency Act, shaU be construed and held to mean the State within which the bank is located, and the Legislature of each Btate may determine and direct the manner and place of taxln" all the shares of national banks locateS within snch State.'

This affair proves to have been a political fracas, similar In evefry respect tp those occurring at approaching elections in the Nortborn Btates, and the authorities have treated it the same as though It occurred In the most quiet section of the Union. Its only importance is derived from the political phases of the honr. Tbe Lincoln Banquet In Jersey Oity.

To-day efforts have,been made to renew the Impeach, ment excitement, but with only, partial success. The Bhoman funding bill has censed' to be a topic of con versation, as it is generally believed that there is no roßsihliity of its passing either House, but It will pro- Dftbly be brought up for discussion in the Senate very soon, although It is not at all, likely that it will be pressed to a vote. This fs no time to bring forward a fund trg Fcheme, however well considered; but Mr. Sherman's bill is a crude measure, calculated »o work irreparable mischief to'tho public credit if persevered in, while it involves a direct inflation of the currency so as to bring the maximum of greenbacks up to fonr hnndred mil. lions. The precedent thus established, would be a dan gerous one, which should be guarded against. With ras ppect to the snbstituti >n of United States notes for com. round interest legal tender notes and three percent legal tender certificates the case ii entirely different. It would not be inflation,'but simply non contraction, to make this excharg*. and cot to do so would be contrary to the spirit,of tbo anti-contraction law. Government securities were dull during the morning, butsteady, notwithstanding the decline in gold. In the afternoon quotations advanced a fraction under an im* proved demand, stimulated in earn© degree By tli© Ftrcngthof tbo market for five-twenties abroad, and at the close there were more buyers thanaction. _ [From to-day's N.y.

North western Preferred was in request, and the Common salable at tfl'.j. .After the call the market was strong, with a small offering of stocks. At tho Second Board prices were well sustained, with a good demand. t*ater In the day a further advance was shown. The motion in the Rock Island case was decided this morning, by Judge Cardozo. 80-fan as the defendant Tracy ib concerned, the case is transferred to the United hta'es Supreme Court—Tracy being a citizen of Illinois/ while Hatch is a citizen of this State. So far as the other defendants are concerned,-the case remains in the Su preme Court of this State as before The next step will be tha appointment of a receiver, and a thorough investiga tion of the whole affafr. - The earnings of railways in 1868 thus far exceed the ex. pectationa of their managers and the public. The opinion has widely prevailed that the large traffic of 1807 was ex ceptional, and that after the pressure was over, proceed ing from, the movement of the crops, their earnings would recede to points where dividends would be made inse cure, if they were not reduced in numerous caset. It now begins to appear that the natural increase of the business of the country traversed by the railways has been underestimated, and that, whilo people have been look in g for the reaction following the Rebellion, the in creased dcvelopmestof the country has neutralized the -looses expected from that cause, and given the roadßa permanent traffic from which regular income is made secure. The early part of 1868 will see restored to permanent paying roads the Cleveland and Pittsburgh, the Northwest, and the Michigan Southern Roads. The former wP h good management and increased permanent traffic, will soon resume cash dividends, and its shareholders re. ceive scrip to represent earnings spent in construction, new cars, engines, &e. Tho Northwestern, after paying in a few months $1,806,000 of floating debt is now in pos session of a traffic which will net onlv enable it to pay the 7 percent, duetbe preferred stock in 1867, but to pay in the current year? per cent. The Michigan Southern, at Its annual meeting, will make & balance sheet as favorable to its shareholders as many previous statements have been unsatisfactory. It promises to show net $1.750,000. a sum which will enable Its managers to resume dividends,' with every assurance of continuance, if its traffio is no pany has ÜBcd/nlly $2,000,000 of earnings in new works, for greater than in 1867, which it cannot fail to be. This com which, following the example of otherrn*ds. it would be justified in issuing a Stock dividend. Taking aQ things into consideration, the railways of 1868 are safer property than they were in 1867. The Latent Reports 1 bp Telearrapli. New Youk. Febraai y 18.—Stocks active.

' Mr. Banks (Maas.) stated that the Committee on Foreign Affairs had had a regular meeting this morning and desired to have the bill recommitted with all too amendments,and he asked the gentle man from lowa to substitute that motion for his.- ’ Mr. Wilson said he would allow- the motion to be offered as an amendment, so that the sense of the House might be taken upon It. Mr. Brooks (N. Y.) asked a parliamentary question whether the ' effect of referring the bill to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union wonld not be to delay action Upon it indefinitely, and would not in point of-fact'be equivalent to killing the bill. Mr. Wilson said.that it would not, and there was no such purpose. He did not suppose that any member would put any obstacle in the wav of the advancement of the lilll. - ' Mr. Banks said it would he very difiicult for the House to’ control the question if it were referred to the Committee of the Whole on the slate of the Union.

He therefore would modify his motion so ns to moke the bill a special order for Tuesday evening. Hr.
