FROffl SOUTH AMERICA,
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
Buenos Atres, Dec.- 27,18G7—The melancholy
annals for the past few weeks form a chapter
possibly the darkest In the Elver Plate history.
Cholera has swept down the river from
the pestiferous quarters of the Allied army, and
again settled In Buenos Ayres. For months past
It was known that there were some cholera eases
in this city, but since the sailing of tho French
packet the mortality increased with such rapidity
that the people took fright,and half the population
fled to the camp; uot even during the terrible visi
tation last April, when 3.000 of our fellow-citizens
“were carried off, was the panic so great as it has
been for the last ten days. Business may be said
to be at a complete stand-still, half the population
has fled, the streetßare no longer crowded, and at
night the lurid flames of ten thousand fircs,lighted
for the purpose of fumigation, give a lugubrious
appearance to this city, otco the most famed for
its salubrity. Nevertheless, the town corporation
or municipality, with their characteristic Indo
lence, took no adequate steps, no measures to
clean the city. At ibe public cemetery coffiins,
4:00 O'Claok.
; ik-d high waiting for interment, and not cvcu
bands sufficient to dig graves; the refuse from the
bouses lying in boxes before the doors until a
late hour; depravity, neglect and crime, nothing!
short of wholesale murder, had reached its tell-;
max. The people of Buenbs Ayres arose, held an
indignation meeting In the plaza, and passed re-'
solutions demanding the Instant and absolute re-'
signation of the whole Municipal Board. The:
municipality reinsed, the people pushed to the
building determined to enforce their resolutions,
and the board, finding they could no longor trifle
with the public, resigned eh masse. Happily,
owing to the courageous interference of the Gov
ernor and his ministers, no violence ensued, und
the people retired to their homes; but nover
on any " occasion was the voice
of public opinion more sacredly
employed than In hurling from office those men
whoso horrid negligence had reduced the city to
such an appalling condition. Since the deposi
tion of the board, the Government has taken the
most rigorous steps; still, there is much to Ik;
done; the city requires a thorough seworage, and
a complete water supply. The weather lias'be
come; slightly more favorable, the mortality has
diminished, and we live in the hope that the ex
tinction of tho municipality will prove the resur
rection of tho city.
The war news of the fortnight amounts to little.
We have had recent advices from headquarters;
the cholera has declared itself with intense viru
lence in both camps, at Corrlontes and the Grand
Chaco. Lopez holds out at Huiuaita, and has
made no offensive move, although One is hourly
expected. Recruits arrive from Brazil.by each
transport, and supplies are constantly sent up
from this icily. What the Allies are doing, in
tend to do, will do, or can do, no one In
Buenos Ayres knows, or even cares to know,
it appears, as far ns we cau gather, that tho Allies
have no intention whatever to attack Lopez's
positions. They are strengthening their lines
around Humaita by ditches, &c.y and when thoy
have a disposable force at their command they
intend to despatch a division to seize Asuncion,
the capital of Paraguay, and destroy its splendld
arsenal. , ,
The statb of the interior calls for no particular
remarks; things are without any material change.
Tho Special Commissioner appointed by tho Go
verupient to proceed to Rioja to settle tho disturb
ances up there, has; been obliged to return to this
city, owing to the desertion at the post-houses,
iind the ravages of the cholera in some of the
country townß. Things are, however, much
quieter than at the leaving of the French packet.
If we except tho inroad ot Indians at one or two
exposed points, there has been nothing in the in
terior tp disturb the peace. Rosario has suffered
seriously from the cholera, but now the health of
the town is better, business is improving, a now
Saladero has commenced working, and things are
beginning to look somewhat brighter.
The financial condition of onr market has been
much affected by tho edict of the Montevideo
Government legalizing the stoppage of specie
payments. Exchange has again receded aud is
now at a rate which renders specie shipments the
beat remittance; the Humboldt, which left ou
Friday, took .£50,000, in gold, for England, and
the Halley, which leaves now, will also taken
large shipment. No hopes for any amelioration
in the'Monleviilean money market is entertained
until one or two of the banks of" that city liquid
ate. The paper emission has been excessive, and
beyond all the requirements of legitimate trade
and commerce. The wildest speculation has been
fostered and supported by banks whose only aims
seen; to have been to declare large dividends,
whilst the wool market may be fairly said to
cease to exist. Montevideo, during the last few
years, has been progressing apace, the city is
almost built anew; on every side are evidences of
the roost, gigantic improvements, but the country
interests are declining; tho cs/amiti business has
fallen off ; sheep, cuttle and lands have depreciated,
and the. exchange market, which rules the coun
try, haß been so low as to cause large specie ex
ports.
In the provinces of Buenos Ayres and Santa
Fc, much moro attention is. now paid to grain
crops, and large tracts have been ploughed up.
The wheat crop is splendid this year and more
sufficient. .
Owing to the gloomy state of things m the
River Plate, we repeat our warning to those of
our countrymen disposed to come out up the
Plate in quest of situations. There are none,
save the most'menial, offering, apd the city is
full of young men looking for situations, with
but verv remote chance of obtaining any. La
borers and mechanics are the only eligible classes
of emigration for the Pi ate at present.

CITY BCLLETUI,
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD,
Annual meeting ot the Stockholders,
The annual meeting of the Stockholders of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was held this
morning in Concert Hall. Thorc was a very
fair attendance.
Hon. Morton McMiehael, Mayor of the olty,
presided, and Edmund Smith, Esq., was ap
pointed Secretary.
The twenty-first annual report of the President
and Board of Managers, for the year 1867, was
read. It will bo found.in full in anotjjer portion
of to-day’s Bulletin.
Mr. John Derbyshire offered aßesolution ac
' < epting the report, and directing Its publication
in pamphlet form.
Colonel James Page said that tho policy of tho
managers was so docldedly approved by tho
stockholders at the last meeting, that ho did not,
make any opposition. He had listened to the
reading of the report, hut no person, without
previous examination, can pretend to know
whether the figures therein are correct,
without further examination. Ho held that
itis the duty of all who have agents to superin
tend and supervise their doings, and the officers
of the Pennsylvania Railroad , Company are
merely the agents of the stockholders. He did
not believe in accepting a report as soon as it
was read, and ho should hover vote for the ac
ceptance of any roport without Its having beon
THE DAILY EVENING PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY Ift. 1868
pitviously examined by an auditing committee.
Ho hnd made so many motions to itnit
effect heretofore, that lie now iutonded to
leave that matter to tithei ' gentlemcu.
All ho di sired was to get some information upon
certain matters in the last nunaai report, and he
read a statement drawing a Comparison bet ween
llio annual report and other statements and ac
tions of the Directors, and the repoifKtq Ulo Au
ditor General, going to show that discrepancies
existed. These discrepdnCies would: show that
the company had been false to the State. No
stockholder'deeires to be fiffso to the State,and .he
thought that it was his duty to call attention to
the matter. , ,
Mr. Derbyshire said that when he saw anything
in the reports which he did not: understand, lie
wintto tho office, asked 'the Secretary or Trea
surer, and the desired Information has always
been cheerfully given. If Col. Pag;; had done the
same thing, he would have had all the explana
tions be wished. ■
Mr. John M. Kcnncdy'mode an explanation as
to what appeared to Col. Page to be a discrepancy
in the interest account spoken of.
Tluo. Cuvier, Esq., agreed with Col. Pago that
it is the interest and duty of the stockholders to
investigate the report, and to know who their
agents are. There is a month now before the
efeetion for managers. He hoped that during
this interval the stockholders will go to the of
fice and inquire about any matters which they
may not underftand. The information will be
cbcerfullv givon. They can then vote intelli
gently, and after these investigations ’ they will
give thepreßcnt Board of Managers a larger vote
than they ever received before. ]
Col. Page said that the discrepancies alluded
to by him may be susceptible of explanation, but
he contended that the explanation made by Mr.
Kennedy did not reach the point made by him.
He did uot want tho investigations to be made in
the office of the Company. He thought that this
long and interesting report should be carefully
examined by an auditing Committee outside of
the stockholders—a standing committee of intel
ligent men.
Mr. Solomon W. Roberts accounted for the
apparent discrepancy between .the report of tho
Directors and that made to the Auditor General,
bvqsfating that the former was up to Doc. 31,
while the latter was up to Oct. 31.
Mr. Cuyler explained that a certain discrep
ancy between the Treasurer’s report and the re
port of tho Investigation Committee referred to
by Colonel Pago, was caused by the Treasurer
carrying certain-stocks and bonds on his books
at cost price, while the committee pnt them
down at their market value,after careful inquiry.
Mr. Whitney acquiesced in the view oi Col.
Pago so far as a standing audit-committee, was
dtsirable, as a means of averting trouble from
thoso who like Col. Page are constantly desirous
of making personal inquiries concerning the
affairs of the company.
The resolution to aqcept the report was adopted
with applause. ' „ „ . -
Mr. Derbyshire offered the following;
Whereas, The policy of stock dividends has
again been referred to by the Board of Directors
-in their annual report, as one which they would
prefer to avoid if the.assont thereto could be had
of the citv of Philadelphia; therefore
Remitted, That tho Board of Directors be in
structed to invite a conference with the Commis
sioners of tho Sinking Fund of the city of Phila
delphia with a view to a change in the present
financial plan of periodical stock dividends.
The resolution was adopted.
A vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding was
unanimously adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.
A Handsome Imitiovkment. —Mr. Samuel M.
Ht uiings, proprietor of the American Hotel, on
Chestnut street, opposite Independence Hall,
has just completed extensive additions to his es
tablishment, which will not only furnish addi
tional comforts and conveniences to the guests
of the house, but will be a' great accommodation
to the general public. The" most prominent fea
ture of these improvements is an elegant billiard
saloon—one of tho largest and finest fitted-up
affairs of tho kind to be found in the Uuited
States. The room is 30 feet in width by 210 in
length, extending through to Minor street. The
walls and ceiling are handsomely frescoed, ami
the floor is covered with a costly carpet. There
are sixteen of Phelan’s improved tables,
arranged with sufficient space be
tween them to allow players at each table to
enjoy theirgame without interfering with those at
the nex.t table. Over each table is a chandelier
containing four burners. Well arranged skylights
■ furnish an abundance of light during the day.
The entire apartment is fitted up with a high de
gree of elegance. - On Chestnut street, immedi
ately in front of the billiard saloon, are the res
taurant, bar and cigar stand, which are also fitted
up in a first-class manner. In the basement there
is a hair-cutting and shaving establishment,undiu
the rear of that an extensive bathing department,
which will tend toeupplyagreatwantiu the lower
section of the city. There are twenty-six neat and
comfortable rooms 3 feet 3 inches by 7 feet 0
inches, having iu front of them a 12 lect hall ex
tending the whole length of 210 feet to Minor
street. These rooms are supplied with showers,
and hot and cold water—the latter being-intro
duced on an improved plan, so as to avoid steam
ing. There an- numerous windows at tho rear
ami on the side, and the light and ventilation
cannot bo exceeded. The boilers for heating the
water are in another building, so that in summer
time these tilth rooms will be cool aud pleasant.
Sir. Hculings has displayed admirable taste inthe
arrangement of his new place, which those who
are fond of billiards or desire lo have a good
hath will duly appreciate. The new cstabllsh
pient will be opened for public iuspcctiou this
evening at eight o’clock.

Sr., an did and well-known merchant, died at his
residence in this city yesterday afternoon. The
deceased had reached an advanced age.
Mr, Clark’s Rill.
To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin In your
comments upon the hill lately introduced into
the Legislature by “Mr. John Clark, of Philadel
phia,” you have, unintentionally no dojibt, dono
great injustice to’ that gentleman. The bill, as I
happen to know;, was intended solely to eurea
great evil In the rural districts, and in using the
term roads— a term well understood In the coun
try—Colonel Clark never imagined that It could
be construed so as to apply to th a paved streets of
tbe city. '/
During the last four weeks the drifting »uowa
have iu many cnees So obstructed thp rwP/» fold
ing io the city ns to make them impassible, and
whin llic Supervisors \yere applied to remov tin;
ohstruciioiis, the excuse lias been a want of au
thority or funds, mud have either been
compelled to open them (U theit own expense, or
stay away from ’market fvlrtt their, produce.
There is surely no impropriety fh asking the city
authorities to clear the highways, which we, are
heavily taxed to keep up. , .
The difficulties that wo havo had to encounter
during the late severe .weather,- would not te;
tolerated for n momeut in the- built-up portions
of the clly; and in the matter of roads und wnter
and gas there is tbo much disposition manifested
to treat tho rural Wards ns step-children.
Scarcelv anv attention is paid to tho condition oi
cur reads, and almost the only avenues to the
citv are those of private corporauons,over which
wc huvoto pay tolls, whilst ull the streets of the
citv are iree. . , ,
Permit me to add that the gentleman who in
troduced the bill in question, ic Colonel John
Clark, a soldier who served gallantly (luring the
whole war,—a man of great integrity of charac
ter,—and who is as free from anythluglike 'rail
way” or other corrupt iutluoncos as any man in
the Legislature or out of it. If tho term “roads,
as used in bis b 11, is too comprehensive, Colouel
Clark will undoubtedly so change Its language
as lo make it embrace' only what it was origi
nally designed to accomplish. H.
Qukun .Victoria and the Prince or Walks
do not appear to be on cordial termed It has
been remarked that Her Majesty has not visited
the Prince, and the other day the subject was re
ferred to in the official Court Circular as follows
“No authority whatever has been given for tho
announcement that the Queen would visit San
dringham in April. It is only so far correct that
Her Majesty has for the last, four years been de
sirous of paying a visit to too Prince of Wales at
Sandringham, but no time has ever been or is
now fixed upon for It.”
