.. sums had to be raised, and, when due, again
■ 'Sd upon their credit and seouriUes. Scarce
ly any trace of the many arduous and
' anxious financial operations of the Company
' ' appear on their hooks, nor was any written
t; memorandum of them made or preserved.—
’ The manner of raising money was generally tem
porary, and of course oftenrepeated, and in each
: of these negotiations we were compelled to seek
. ' almost a north-western passage after the sources
from whence money came, and the destination
it reached. Double entry accountants will com
. -. prehend this, double necessity in recording every
operation, inasmuch as eaoh entiy shows the
'' ' equffibrlum of just and equal scales. The time
patience and persoverance required over old and
strange transactions to elucidate them in their
double bearing la beyond conception. In many
cases when it was supposed all the new entnes
were adjusted to dove-tail with the old, they
‘ - were found incorrect by the discovery of others
’ olready made, and it was only by committing
to memory all the old entries and deriving
a knowledge of hew transactions from ra
' ‘ numerable accounts, letters, scraps and ret
bal explanations, whioh assumed different shapes
from inevitably defective recollection of names,
dates, and oiroumstances, that the audi
tors were enabled to arrive at satisfactory re
sults Beside the work anxiously toiled over to
no final purpose and thrown away for the rca
sons already given, such thankless labor being
fnllv equal in amonnt to all that is reported. The
2'' work retained for the benefit of the Company as
so muoh prepared for their future journalist shows
now entries to more than a million of dollars, not
one cent of which was previously m tho “°°f s
; or if there, out of tbeir orderly place. All the
' calculations have been revised. All the entries
from the outset carefully examined and scrutl
nixed, and checked one by one by tho war
wants, hills payable and otnor vonohers, so that
after making required corrections and transpo-
Bitions, their truth and accuracy may be now
Touched for. , ,
The main object of the review, viz. to show the
exnot'connition of the Company, has been kept
distinctly in sight, so that whether for better or
for worse, the Stockholders and Tumbles of the
City and County should know precisely how it
stood and that the incoming officers of the con
cern should be chargeable with no other resources
or assets than came to their hands, and that tho
' extent of their liabilities mignt be equally made
manifest,' bo that they may be held to their just
measure of responsibility, but no moro. In this
they verily believe the search has been perva
ding and complete. They have found the posi
tion of all the bonds of the city and county, sold
and unsold, and at whoso hnnds to seek for an
account of those unsold. Some of them cannot
be extricated without additional sacrifice, which
indeed they are advised has already been suffer
ed under past arrangements. It is therefore
recommended in order to do Justice to the past,
present and future Directors of the Company
tbit an account be opened for tho expenses and
sacrifices, as far as the same may hereafter ap
pear as the consequence of existing contracts
It will necessarily require time and exertion to
relieve these bonds from the burthen now press
ing on them, if indeed its whole weight is yet
ascertained. This may be the subject of fntnro
history. The amount or the Discount and Inter
est account is accumulated by heavy losses in
the sales of the bonds, and by high rates of inter
est paid for loans, chiefly of a temporary du
ration, negotiated through brokers; several of
tliem with the interminable and multiplying pen
alty of keeping the notes in circulation by the
the same kind of agents. An urgent necessity,
invincible otherwise for the means to meet obli
gations not fully anticipated, seemed to sanction
these expedients though often complicating the
affairs and crippling the resources of the Com
pany The general paralysis of business and
ionßequent extraordinary pressure on the money
market whil“ these sacrifices were making, sug
gest their only apology. To array the items of
usury or the receivers of it can possibly accom
plish no valuable purpose, as it occurred dnnng
aporiod when effectingloans at from 1J to3J per
cent, per month were conceived to bo financial
triumphs and subjects of congratulation. These
' must remain as a portion of irrevocable history,
their example being left as a warning for the fu
ture avoidance of such exigencies.
The sheets of figures which accompany this
report as an inseparable part of it for tho Com
pany purposes, are too voluminous for publica
' tion; but may be examined by those who have
the patience to satisfy their curiosity. They
show the preoiso entries to be made to reconcile
discrepancies and to shape tho Journal & Ledg
er into a continuous and corresponding Record
of every transaction of which there was evidence,
and will obviate the necessity of opening new
books a perilous and exceptionable expedient,
unless unavoidable. We mnyhowever refer to
four condeased tabulaT statements which exhibit
results, viz: . , , . m
No One.—Tho Report of the late Treasurer.

PACIFIC RAILROAD EXPLORATIONS
Bentou’s Route Quashed.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF AVAR.
The “ Report of the Secretary of War on the
several Pacifio Railroad Explorations," is before
ns. It ia an interesting and instructive docu
ment ; but for the present the pressure of the
immediate news and business affairs of the day
leaves no room in our columns for this report in
fall. It embraces a'oareful review of tho capa
bilities and drawbacks of the following routes,
from the actual serveys.
First —The extreme northern route, (Major
Stevens’), between the 47th nud 49th parallels of
latitude, starting from St. Paul, in Minnesota
territory, and striking the Pacifio at Puget’s
Sound, or the mouth of the Columbia, in Oregon.
Thiß will require a road, allowing for ascent and
descent, of 2,207 miles. Estimated cost, $lBO,-
871 000, The* impediments in this route are the
mountains to be tunnelled, tho numerous rivers
to be bridged, tho soarcity of timber, tho eold
ness of the climate, and its proximity to tho Brit-
ish possessions.
Becosd— Route of the forty first parallel
(Mormon roato,) commencing on the navigablo
waters of the Missouri, or on the Platte river,
and striking thenco over the Plains to the BoutlT
Pass, thence to the Great Salt Lake, thence
across the Great Basin to the Bierra Nevada
ohain, thence over that chain, and down to the
Sacramento river and down tho same to Benicia,
jost above San Francisco, on the same harbor.
Estimated distance from Counoil Blnffa to Beni-'
cia, 2,031 miles ; estimated coßt, $116,095,000.
Obstructions same as in the firstroute, including
wider deserts and doepor and rougher mountain
gorges.
TniED—Route of the thirty-eight parallel,
more familiarly known as Benton’s great Central
route, pronounced utterly impracticable from its
mountain obstructions. Estimated length from
Westport to San Francisco, 2,080 miles. The
Topographioal Engineers gave up all estimates
of the cost of a road by this route, in absolute
despair. Thus muoh for old Bullion ond bis
buffalo trails, when rednoed to scientific engi
neering.
Fodb-TH— Bonte of the thirty fifth parallel—
(Senator Rusk’s route) beginning at Fort
Smith, in Arkansas, thence westward to Albu
qncrqne, on the Upper Rio Grande, thence
aproas the Rocky mountains and the Colorado
of tho West and great desert basin and its moun
tains, and the lower ond of the Sierra Nevada
chain to San Pedro, at tho southern extremity
of California, on the Paoific. This route ie about
as bad as Benton's, although the engineers think
that 3,187 equated miles and $169,210,265
might, perhaps, do the work.
Fifrn Route near the thirty-second parallel,
or the extreme southern route, via Texas, New
Mexioo, El Paso and the Gila to the Paciflo.
Estimated distance from Fulton in Arkansas, to
San Pedro on tho Paoific, 1,618 miles, equated
length, allowing for ascente and descents, 2,239
miles. Estimated coßt, $68,970,000.
The advantages of this route are, that it is
practioally a third shorter than any of the oth
ers betweon tho Mississippi nnd tne Paoific—
that it goes by the flank of the Kooky Mountains
and the Sierra Nevada ohain, instead of going
over or under them—that the route is over a re
gion of elevated table lands requiring little or
no grading—and that the soil is dry and free
from snow from one end to the other, except oo
caaional light falls' in New Mexico. The draw
backs of this route are, that after leaving Ar
kansas it is a oontinnons dosert to the Pooifio,
without timber and without water, except at an
oasis here and there, at long dlstanoes apart.
The Seoretary of War proposes to supply water
by artesian wells, and to transport the nooessary
timber from tho two ende of the road to bridge
over the dcßert: —

These aro the roßulta of careful soiontifio ex- ,
plorations, by highly accomplished engineers, of ,
the several routes, from the extreme Northern
to the extreme Southern route; and it is only I
necessary to consult onO of the Inteßt maps of
the United Stnteß to see at a glance that the only
really available route is that of the extreme
South, via El Paso and the GaJsden country, a
howling deßert though it be. The estimated
cost of a railroad (single track, we suppose) by
this route is, in round numbers, $09,000,000,
about half the estimate of the best of the other
routeß, to say nothing further of the saving of a
thousand miles or so in the important matter of
the diatance to bo traversed.
Upon the whole, this official report, the ruumc
of authcntio and reliable explorations, bears us
out fully in all that we have said for the last ten
years of the hideous and revolting Bterility and
desolation of all that vast region lying between
tho immediate valley of the Mississippi and that
great mountain chain, the Sierra Nevada, whloh
overlooks the Pacifio. From the British bounda
ry down to the boundary of Mexioo, and far be
yond, it is an Asiatio region of timberless
steppes voloanio mountains and sandy deserts,
verv closely resembling the deserts of Arabia.
Snch is the Great Basin, the only Important
oaaiß of which is ocoupied by the Mormons; suoh
iB the country between the Gila and the Paoifio,
and suoh is the Gadsden country.
We consider this report conclusive as to the
best route for a Pacific Eatlroad-it l is the ex
. treme southern route. A glance on any respeot-
S able map of the United States, at the several
r routeß indicated, will satisfy the reader of this

Tho Pittsburgh and Steubenville Rail
road Company.
We proßent oar roadors to-day with the Re
port of the Auditors appointed at a general
meeting of tho Stockholders of tho Pittsburgh
and Steubenville Railroad Company, to investi
gate its concerns. It will douhlesas bo road with
great interest by the tax payers of the city and
county, who are interested In the road to tho
omont of $1,060,000. Tho Auditors found evety
thing connected with the fiscal affairß of the
Company involved and complicated, but we are
glad to observe that order has been restored, and
that there have been no embezzlement of the
funds. The balanoe of the late Treasurer's ao
oounts being a matter to bo adjusted hereafter,
we can only view it at present as an unsettled
account. There ara several ourious items in the
Report that we will take up hereafter and oom
ment upon. As the tabular statements are only
the recapitulation of tho voluminous details sub
mitted by the Auditors in their report, we can
not get at the particular facta with tho precision
we could wish; but we hope from the courtesy
of President Craft we will be enabled to arrive
at the information we aim to get at. Tho large
losses on the oity and county bonds must be a
subject of regret to every citizen; the only
apology offered was tho extraordinary stringenoy
in the money market at the time of their nego
tiation, and tho pecuniary necessities of the Com
pany. Further sacrifices must not bo permitted,
if there’ Is a possibility of saving those securities
from the persons and institutions with whom
they ore hypothecated. President Craft has been
in Virginia and elsewhere for that purpose, and
we understand is doing all he can to preserve
the eredit and assets of the Company. Thot the
road will be made, we have no donbt of; but it
was our hope that this could have been done
without resorting to tho issuo of mortgage bonds
—a necessity whiohjis now inevitable, and from
whloh there is no avenue of esoape. We trust
that when these bonds ate negotiated that no
sacrifices will be made on them; as the timeß
begin to look cheering, and confidence is in a
great measure restored in tho financial circles.
The mortgage bonds proposed to be issned to the
amount of $BOO,OOO, will bo securities of tho
first class, and doubtless will sell at the moßt fa
vorable prioes in the eastern market; inasmuoh
as they are predicated on over ono million of
dollars in stook subscribed by this city and the
county of Allegheny, and abont three hundred
thousand dollars additional' subscribed by Indi
viduals, and are intended to finish and equip the
road, whioh adds' to tho security. The report
that appears in our paper this morning is one
day behind some of our contemporaries; but we
are happy to Bay it has been carefullyrevieed
and may be relied on as entirely conreoti

regard to the election of a Senator by the pres

gtaiature muat meet!- in Convention on the let
Tuesday of October, f purß?aiit to the adjourn
ment.- Others contend! thatihe ora
rad' should provide, by a Joint resolntion, for an
election before'the adjournment. Others, again,
contend that the matter has passed beyond the
action of the prc6entLogiBlatore,nnlessjt_ad v
jonroe especially until the day named. The first
opinioo-has thomeatfrienda_; ;
an extra eession.
Gen. Cameron still “ rows on,” but apparent-
ly “ against tliO tido.” j
An extra Besaion of orj con
vention, for that single be filthy I
an expensive affair. would do I
better to send it over to the next legislature.
The intervening election of members will give ]
the people a chance to mate known their will in
the matter. The foot,that Pennsylvania will
hove but one Senator in Congresß next winter, for
a month or two, is no very serions matter. Very
little is done in the first two months of any new
Congress. _ __
