GENERAL FAC . KEIVtiI.IIIIMIORITY,
The rote* o; the aectlin;tiotwithetanding

able us to state the exact majority: of "the
Democratic candidate for Governor. He will
have an immense pluraiity—probablY forty
thousand—and a handsome majority overboth
his competitors, probably fifteen theusand.
,The vote, is light, but there, is little doubt
that, had there been a heavier poll, his ma
jority would have been quite as large as it is.
Of the thousands 'of citizens who did not
:vote, it is to be taken for granted that ; the
want proportion were disposed to' the' Demo
',crabs party ;" but they were heart-sore • with
their own difficulties. The election day passed
over them almost unknown; and although
they looked at the returns, on the morning of
the 14th, with something of satisfaction, yet
the rapture of the strife ,hsrl departed, at,least
temporarily; and they soon came back to their
own wants and to'their . own: '
-Governor I'ionsa :goes into ,the althorns

against the distraining of tenants was a beauti.:
fel exhibition of philanthropy; and we cannot,
`doubt that lie will be among the foreineat to
recommend such measures as willasitat to roll
'from -the public heart the weight that now
oppresses it. In times like these, when a'

Ment nontrolling influence, not only in, this
State, but in lowa, Ohio,, and also Mine
aota. This element was 'the' belief that the
policy of peace 'and equality, which had been
adopted by Mr.,Bionattau, and vigorously car
tied forwardby GoVernor Wamon in Kansas,
would dispose of the troubles in that
Territory, and so' remove foreVer ' from
the 'Political arena the vexatious issue which
has cost so much anxiety and so much

time the cause which chiefly contributed to
this victory :
"Elections for State officers were hold on Tues
day last in Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa, and, Minne
sota, all of which, wo apprehend, resulted In favor
of the Slave Democraoy. In Pennsylvania, the
division of the opposition was so obstinate as to
paralyze effort, and the <Democracy' had it all
their own way. In Ohio there was a respectable
contest, but the public attention was too much ab
sorbed by pecuniary anxiety, and tho Republicans
polled far lees than their full vote, and are clearly
beaten. lowa, we judge, has gone the same way,
for similar reasons. Minnesota is not yet heard
from, but the results in the nearer States inspire
little hope of a'Republioan victory. The heedless
and over-soilltng have been made to believe that
the triumphs of Freedom in dramas is sure—that
lduchanan'and Walker sire dealing fairly by it—
and that no further effort outside of the Territor r y
is required. We shall see whether this belief is

THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS
By the Vanderbilt, which left Liverpool on
the 3d inst., and arrived at New York yester
day, we have received four days later news
from Europe. We have copied, from the files
of Liverpool and London newspapers received
at our office, some interesting articles of in
telligence, not given in the summary of news
which has been telegraphed, and would parti
cularly refer to the able leader in the London
Times of October 241, on the actual condition
of affairs in India. It goes further in admit
ting the critical position of the British than
the English press has yet had,the candor to
allow.
Of European intelligence, the only feature
of interest is the termination of the Imperial
conference at Stuttgart. It is asserted that
the Czar is not disposed to reduce his army.
Nearly the whole of the British Cabinet had
assembled in London, and were having daily
meetings. There had been a very strong ex
pression of public opinion on the fact, that at
a crisis, when personal attendance in London
might be of the most vital importance, the
Queen continued in Scotland, at forty miles dis
tance from any telegraph, and that nearly all the
Ministry were also absent, for over six weeks,
enjoying field-sports and rural life, instead of
minding the affairs of State. This discontent had
brought the Cabinet to London, but the Queen
appeared determined to remain at Balmbral
the whole time originally fixed for her resi.
deuce there. Her stay, therefore, would be
continued for eleven days longer, not much to
the satisfaction of the grumblers.
On the London money.market, the news of
the suspension of the American banks is
likely to fall as a heavy blow. The city article
in the London Times of the 8d instant, admits
that, for three or four weeks preceding, the
intensity of the panic at New York had
induced an almost total suspension of specie
remittances from that city, so that from
£500,000 to 4800,000 that would otherwise
have reacted England' had been temporarily
withdrawn. It calculates, we perceive, on the
panic being over by this time, and says :
" With the return of confidence, therefore, not
only will the usual shipments be resumed, but
many arrears will have to bo met, and as the fort.
nightly consignments from California continue to
reach New York the ability to meet these calls may
be expeets re,Pidly 'to revive. It may be hoped,
therefore, that dwing the nest two or throe months
our receipts from this Varter (New York) will
again at least suffice, with Ate quantities from
Australia, to keep the stook in Eke' honk of Eng
land from further reduction.
"At this moment we have the £173,000 brought
by the last Australian mail nearly duo at South
asepton, but there are no other very heavy amounts
to be anticipated. Whether the eastern demand
will continue on the comparatively moderato scale
assumed during the past fortnight depends on a
variety of contingencies. Meanwhile, Austria has
yet to make her Ana arrenrcements for resuming
Cash payments on the let pf plantlarY, and at Con
stanttnople there is anxious speculation as to the
possibility of attracting new funds to hoop the
machinery of state from actually breaking down.
"From both these directions our own market
may possibly be influenced. On the other band,
the Bank of Franoe,,if it should resort to any ex
tensive issue of £2 notes, may oreate - some partial
inflation. The balance of probabilities is, there
fore, wary even, and the conclusion •is that we •re..
main for some time without anything to enliven or
to aggravate oar present dull condition." .
The Arabia, rhicl;t left New York on Wed-.
nesday, would carry Over the news that the
Panic had matured .into a Orisis, This intel
ligence will probably reack, Liverpool on the ,
24th inst., and may induce the Times tO come
to a very different conclusion from that which,
as we sea above, it bads arrived , at. We can I
scarcely :lea what the actual effect of ourl
monetary affairs Ltp9p thotie' of England will
be until the first week Pi Aravember.
- Meanwhile thit. - weakly: ittstemest of. the
Bank - of Engltuid, published on October g 4 -1,1
shows that the amount of notes in circulation
is £19,142,120, being an increase of £240,905;
mid the stock of bullion in both departments
is Z 11,276,08, 'phewing an increase of £B7,j
628 when compared the preceding return.
There wore over £6,000,000 e' hank notes un
employed. The hinds keep steady,
A WORD TO ODR
, The city banks have thirty days to accept the
provisions of the relief act. By that act they
are compelled to receive at, par the notes of!
those banks In whOsesolyeney they have eon- i
Waco. It is rumored that this whole period:
of thirty days will , be suffered to elapse before
the law Is formally accepted by our banks.
We trust most sincerely that this will not prove
to be the fact. Whatever doubts may,be enter-;
tabled, in reference,. to the thlid section
by many of our hest citizens, 'it 41:
the. law, and cannot, and should not, be ,
evaded. Any delay in accepting the pro-I
visions of the relief act would bear with ex
treme hardship upon our mercantile s com
munity, for whose
~benefit, ; great part„,
that, relief was granted ,by the Legislature,:
and especially upon those merchtuits du the.
interior who are indebted to Philadelphia,
and , who, holding the currency of the in-I
desire to pay their obligations to'
their creditors hare. Thirty mays' in these!
times are an age ; everybour is important; and'
the very principle upon which Governor
Lem called the old Legislature together, if it
meant anything at all, meant that the sudden
action of that body should afford instant ease
balminess
.eircles. We trust, therefore, that
the banks will spangly:determine what course
they will take in the iureoo,l and we have;
no doubt, if they act , liberally to 110 . r cus-:
tomers and to the community, they will be
applauded for so doing." ;
POLITICAL JUDGES
The retaAtpf the late election in Pennsyl-:
vania will °penile healthfully on other ques
tions than that of politica ; There can be no ;
doubt that .the tendency 'of things in some
quarters of the country, has been to cover the'
elective judiciary with distrust and contempt.
The practice of judges, openly participating
in politics has been the wain cause of this,
tendency. The climax was rear.4o4, liewever,,
by the nomination of Judge Wilier, as tile
Republican candidate for GoVernor, of this
State, at a time when he was presiding over
the judicial district composed of the counties
of 8ra41074, Thiga, and Susquehanna. It is
true that lie resigned this post, apparently to
take the ehatio t o of tlie4Antsign, but itlis also;
true that he resigned it wl tlthC distinct tacit!
,understanding that in the event of his 4efust
he.ehonld go back to the bench. MA defeat
having ;taken place, Mr. WIMIOT returns to the,
scene of ibis Judicial duties; how much better
qualified to dischamthem alter the exciting.
. . ,
and irritating campaign grough which ho has
passed, and with the consciouscooasthat ho has
lost caste at his own home, we leave Atliers to
say. The people of Pennsylvania, however,
have boldly, marked their sense of the habit of
encouraging judges to become politicians, and
ae trust the rebuke will not be without its
effect in other quarters.

THE ELECTION.
THE STATE. ,
Tho majority in the State fOr General. Packer
over Wilmot, will probably exceed forty thousand.
The Legislature will bo two-thirds Democratic. We
see by our exchanges that the election passed off
quietly, everywhere. The returns In an official
shape reach us very slowly.
Amnia COUNEY.—Thosllarrleburg Keystone
thus speaks of the glorious result : „ -
" The miserable minority in which Mr. Wilmot
is loft, is a signal rebuke of the black Republican
agitators; whilst the olcotion of General Pnekor,
by an overwhelming vote, is a proof and vindica
tion of the fidelity, of Pennsylvanians to the Consti
tution and its guarantees, full of hope and conso
lation to the patriotic and Union-loving Democracy
throughout the - nation. - •
" In Harrisburg General Packer has over four
hundred majority, and, from partial returns from
the townships, it is supposed ho has a majority in
this county, which has hitherto given largo Oppo
sition majorities. The greatest portion of the
Demo'cratic ticket is also elected in this county—
one member of the House' certain, nearly all the
county officers, and a majority of some seven hun
dred and fifty for Senator, which it is hoped will
overbalance the Opposition majority of Lebanon."

fully inform Councils that the ainoont,of 'money
appropriated' toilits department, for the repairing
end repaving of streets, will be exhausted by the
tenth of November next.' It was believed that
the appropriation would have been ample for the
entire • year, but in consbquence of the extraor
dinary sorority 'of the frost of last winter, the
streets and highways required more then the usual
amount of labor to put thorn in a proper 'condition
for travel. 'An additional appropriation it not de
sired, but simply. a transfer of balances that will
not be required tor . fte IWrpoSO±i for which they
were intended.'

Oirard a 1 Penneylimula nynnms,.-.'a "' a " . 4 " .
$5,000 appropriated foillte bridge across the

tho, fn this advineed state of the building season,

By this arrangimmat most of the men now em
ployed in repairing the itieeh may be continued
at work, as long as tee ; weather permits it to be

IMPERIAL CONFERENCE AT STIITTGART.—The
correspondent of the London Times says, "In the
matter of popularity both with the Court and the
people, the Emperor Napoleon has made infinitely
greater progress than the Emperor Alexander.
The Emperor Napoleon has lost no opportunity of
:showing himself inn light aoCeptable halite people;
hit has walked out in the streetsarm-in-arm with a
single, gentleman, a IVurtemborg officer; he has
taken or feigned an interest in all that the King
is most feud of promoting, and for which he is so
deservedly popular, and gave himself the trouble
to sit out the whole of Weber's Der Freizehittz
last night, which was played at his especial desire
to hear a genuine German opera, and continued
applauding even after the curtain had fallen.
" Daring their stay hero of four days each, the
Emperors IMO been in each other's company at
least twice a slay, but in the presence of others ;
what, however, is more to the point is, that
they have bcon closeted together three times
perfectly alone, for periods varying from
ono hour and a half to two hours each. The
last of these interviews took place. on their
return from the Vold urest at Cannstadt yester
day, when they retired to the apartments occupied
by the Emperor Alexander at the top of the Crown
Prince's villa, and remained together for nearly
two hours, at the expiration of which they took
leave of each other with the greatest apparent
satisfaotion, at their having made each other's ac
quaintance.
• "The general resume of the information I
have boon able to collect with reference to the
nature of this meeting and its political results
amounts tq this : the two Emperors have hail
the satisfaction of snaking each other's ac
quaintance, and of exchanging the expres
men of their individual views, wishes, and
aspirations, hut that nothing beyond this has
boon obtained, except it bo some matters of so very
trifling moment as not to be worth citing in con
nection with this event. What little I have learned
shows me that, however much satisfaction the
Emperor Napoleon may have experienced at the
overtures made to him, and however gratified he
may ho by the homage thuspaid to the position ho
has acquired for France in Europe, and at the ad
ditional prestige these events will give him in the
eyes of his own people, he has not betrayed any
inclination to jeopardize or tamper with the Eng
jish alliance, which ho looks on as fundamentally
essential within certain limits to the well-being of
France and his own stability."

ENGLISH VIEW OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
[From the Times of Ott. ;.]
The arrival 'of Indian letters and newspapers
puts us in possession of opinions as well as facts.
One naturally wishes to know what is thought and
felt at ono end of the wire, or other line of commu
nication, while war rages, or conspiracy threat
ens at the other. But, the bare facts ones an
nounced, there is not much to satisfy impatience in
the speculations, the rumors, or the gossip, eyrie at
the very seat of el-Imminent. Many alourisrhas
found that at Geneva or Borne he was to all prac
tical purposes no nearer the Alps than in White
hall or Cheapside ; and it would seem as if people
wore no nearer Delhi and Lucknow at Bombay and
Calcutta, than wo aro at home. Their conjectures
aro little less wild. They seem almost equally con
demned to be idle bystanders, when every feeling
would prompt the quickest and most vigorous in
terference. Anglo-Indian opiniou, however, has
evidently entered a new stage, thongh omshet with
out preoedent. Some of the filter, More Oulatle, and
Inerb teirtertrig geoStions that occupied it . at first,
have now answered themselves. Of seventy regi
ments not ono is now loft to foster the fond illusion of
its fidelity, till the happy moment for the bullet or
the " tulwar" to do its appointed work. Not a
mess remains to be butchered sitting, or a colonel
to be rudely interrupted while writing to the
Govemor-General a letter full of happy assu
rances. Few stations remain to be burnt, and
few treasuries to be " looted." The death
of malty herldred Akers. civil and rollitery, in
,battle, or minis generally by the hand of the
assassin, and the massaoro of as many women and
children, have gone far to exhaust the fund of
private solicitudes. It is true that there aro
stations dotted about of which little is known;
but the mind wearies of repetition. Lucknow
'would be only Cawnpore on a somewhat larger
'Beale, and should the infection which has reached
the Bombay and Madras armies infest the whole of
thb dark 1,104, tied lead to equal atrocities, no
numbers, no op . lor the
:want of novelty. So opinion has now passed into the
.hard, calculating, military stage. The residents at
Calcutta can look forward to the approaching cam
'paign. The real war, according to Indian notions,
has not yet begun. It must begin in September,
and end in May, after which month it seems taken
:for granted that not a shot will bo fired. Passing,
'then, over the preliminary horrors, Indian politi
cians are evidently satisfied with the prospects of
•the war. They think that we shall have a suc
cession of triumphs, and that next spring will find
',us holding India with a stronger grasp than we over
;did lsofore. Strangbly enbagh, this conviction be
trays itself at the very tinto that the gravel of the
'English mail brings - what seems them an immense
underrating of the mutiny. We believe that on this
:point they aro mistaken. The statements and esti
mates made, in or out of Parliament, to the best of
;our recollection, simply reflected from time totime
Ake latest news from India. It was nobody's busi
;noss here to anticipate worse than was known, and
•roinforeemeete were despetehed, If not quite as ex
peditiously na if the worst had been known, as ex
-Ipeditiously as anything is ever done in this country.
• military eatimate, then, taken at Calcutta
:looks 'rather to the reserve than to the forces
:engaged, and rather to the surrounding country
{then to the actual seat of war. Even the prospect
of reverses in the present battlefield. and the inter
ruption of communications, sloes not some to concern
t them as numb as might be suppose'. At Calcutta
,they aro safe. The arrival of the Chinese force, the
sight of the Shannon in their river, the passage of
several regiments up the river, and, above all, the
•
departure of Captain Peel, withl 900 British sailors
and ton 68-pounders, mabo them (col es severe as
we do at home. The arrival of Sir Colin Camp
bell, a commander-in-chief, with real power,
replacing Sir P. Grant, who, Rs an Indian
officer, had responsibility without power, con
tributed to this comfortable feeling. At all
events, the tido of war seemed to se rolling up the
Ganges, and every wave of it would drive further
inwards the mutineers of Dinapioro, who have
created so much Mare) ; of itainghur, on the very
borderts of Bengal proper; of- Oudo, and the whole
valley of the Ganges. Looking at: the other ex
tremity of the disturbed line, the state of things at
Delhi was so encouraging that we felt ourselves jus
tified in calling it the other day the bright spot
in our Indian prospects; but at Calcutta they wore
even more sanguine, and fully expected, on the 23d
of August, that the assault had already taken place,
when it was supposed the mutineers would be dis
persed and a large parts? the besieging force would
be available for the relief of Lucknow, and the
conquest of Oudos The tables had so far been
turned. on, the mutineers that time was in our
favor. Every week was adding several thousands
to Mir throe, and the idea of a Sikh invasion of
Ifindostan under the British flag Was so popular
in the Punjab, that there appeared to be no limits
to the accession of atrength from that quarter.
In Delhi all wag confusion, dissension, deser
tion, want of powder, percussion caps, money,
mon, and food. The king was most uncomfortable
in his quarters; our ertllloo% having found his
majesty's range The Mahomodans and }Undoes
were quarrelling for the use of the water tanks.
All were greatly discouraged by the uniform de
feat of the recent sorties. In this extremity
the question was whither to go—whether to
oonourt discretion by going down the Delhi
side of the Semen, or to take the more valorous
courts of crossing the river by the bridge of boats,
and malting for Cede. In either case it would
be strange if we did not follow them up, and
inflict that chastisement which they now avoid
under the shelter of wails and streets. As far as
eon be inferred from the desoription of our camp
before Delhi, alit the hodiee of Trregulars flocking
to our aid - from the 4 Punitib, 'Cashmere, Kumaon,
and Nepaul, wo are much better prepared for open
warfare than the garrison of Delhi, with no otner
" tower of strength" than their " King's name."
The probability is that the more desperate and
deeply committed of the mutineers, driven out of
Delhi, would swarm in the direction of Cede.
It is vain at this dietance, and this day, to
speculate ion the fate of Lucknow, which, be
it well or ill, is now a thing of the past.
Even at 'Calcutta they had had no direct and
certain news 'of the Ord:lord with its precious and
helpless charge, for a Whole month:- Wools' sup
posed that General Outram would attempt to re
lieve the place by going up the Oogra or the
Gooretee, sshjoh might , be, a necessary • change
of route, but serves to show the time required
for the task. 'limit, whatever the result, there
will then •ho Amply two armies in the field.
Agra, at least, we assume to bo safe, as it is no
longer mentioned with anxiety, and is said not
even to be invested. Certain points, such as Alla
imbed, will then ho hold for military purposes;
but 'otherwise it Will ho a simple, ordinary case
of two armies in the field, depending for success on
their spitit,: their numbers, reinforcements, sup
plies, and the good-will of the population. Wo
feel no question tiod, ip all those points, except,
possibly, the nuns Mrs isetually brought into notion,
too 'dive the best of it. r We have all the chief con
ditions of success. It will bo found—indeed, it has
already been found---thet, as wo have said from the
first, this is not arebellioe, or oven an insurrection;
it is only a mutiny. Notwithstanding certain taunts
at our want of prescience or want of capacity to
comprehend the fact, this is only a military revolt,
inspired by those causes and motives that prevail
most with the military charaetor—aggrandise
ment, love of plunder and general license, pure
restlessness—in a word, all those feelings that have
rendered India is sea of troubles for these many eon
terra' ' , The mischief is almost eonfined to the
soldiers, useless it be an accession of credit and
strength to their cause that the criminals they
release from the , gaols, and the ruffians of
every town held them to plunder and de
stroy: • But, on the whole, with rare and
accountable exceptions, the people are in our
favor, and as the war proceeds will be so more
Ism) more. Every day the war will be confined to
a still closer compass, and with Bengal, the sub
ayah countries, the Pun jabs Mid 'Cent ral In
airconvourgiler, wo'shall 'crush the mutiny; Ivo fully
exited, before next setnituer.

THE REMEDY FOR THE READING RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.
[For The Press ]
What is to be the
_fate o f the Reatfing ratlroad ?
Is it to go into the hands of trustees for the benefit
of the holders of mortgage bonds, or is it to be as
signed for the benefit of all its creditors ? To Nome
such condition it must shortly come, under the
present inefficient and injurious management.
The company is hurrying on to the catastrophe.
There is but one moans of checking its downfall ;
which is, to change its responsible officer, and re
place him with another who has knowledge of the
condition of the concern, experience to judge of its
interests, tact to administer its affairs, and the con
fidence of the public to cheer him onward. In
proper bonds the Beetling Railroad Company will
resuscitate its business, arrange its indebtedness,
and thus not only protect its general creditors and
its bondholders, but its stockholders, the coal
miners of Schuylkill county, the coal merchants of
the large cities, and the owners of coal lands. The
interests of other coal regions are also involved in
this matter; so largo a business as that ofSchuyl
kill county cannot be mismanaged without in
juring the coal trade in other parts of Pennsylva
nia; so that this matter is of vital importance not
only to the minors, transporters, and dealers in the
product which finds its way to market by the
Reading railroad, but to all other coal operators,
and to the people who burn coal.
Tho present president of the Reading Railroad
Company, R. D. Cullen, assumed his post at a
period when, unhappily for the company, its former
president, John Tucker, had resigned. What the
merits of Mr. Tucker had been in that position is
shown by the testimony of the managers, as given
in the annual report to the stockholders in the be
ginning of the present year:
t , The managers have to inform you that Mr.
John Tucker having tendered his resignation of the
presidency of the company, a meeting of the board
was held on the 6th of November, and the vice
president was elected to succeed him. The elec
tion of a now manager in his place was deferred
until this meeting.. Mr Tucker had been so long
connected with the, company, was so perfectly
acquainted with its interests and connections, and
managed its concerns with so much seal and
ability, that his retirement will be a matter of re
gret to you, as it is to the managers. When it is
remembered what the company was when he joined
it, the difficulties through which ho guided it. and
the prosperity in which ho leaves it, hie abilities
as an administrative officer, and his devotion to
your interests, will be duly appreciated, as well as
the uniform kindness and consideration for others
which euabled him, after a long course of power,
to retire from his office with the good-will of all
those with whom he had been associated.
. , .. ~... . .
" By order of the Board of Managers.
"R. D. CULLR:f, President.
" Office of tho Philadelphia and Reading R. It
Company, Philadelphia, January 12, 18.17."
Prosperous in its business, and with full hope of
a continuance of good fortune, the Reading Rail
road company, when Mr. Cullen took the veins o f
power, was considered staupak end nolvent. There
was mutual eogdonce between the transporters,
shippirs, and dealers in coal, and the company
Mr. Tucker fully understood the wants of the trade,
and his arrangements were of a naturo to encour
age the coal interest, while they were of profit to
the corporation. The concerns of the Beading
Railroad were thus in good position to be fostered,
and still further improved by judicious manage
ment. The directors, perhaps too confident that
this state Of affairs would continue without the con
trol of an able head, sent to have thought that
very little care or judgment was necessary in the
choice of a successor to Mr. Tucker. In this fatal
spirit of self-reliance, they elected, as president
of the company, a person who was not a citizen of
the United States, who had no sympathy with our
people or institutions, and who really had no in.
Wrest in the company, being a mere agept or
clerk of the McColmonts l uglirh sockholders.
Mr. Culien entered upon his duties as if ho con
sldortid it la mission to unsettle all the plane of
his predooessor, and to prove his administrative
ability by making radical alterations in the most
important rulcs of business. His first blunder was
to totally alienate from the company the feelings and
confidence of the shippers at Port Richmond.
To this succeeded equally strong discontents
among the minors of Schuylkill molly. phis dis
satisfaction has shown itself io che diminished bu
siness of the 'road; an the increase in the tonnage
of the slower but better managed Schuylkill Na
vigation Company. floats have succeeded in di
verting the coal from the cars, and instead of tho
business of the railroad company showing, as it
thould do, an increase, It, has fallen off immensely.
Nor is this all : the financial concerns of the com
pany have become most dangerously involved, in
consequence of the vest sums for which it has be
come responsible for the clonatruation of 'Mi. Cul
len'spet'scheme,.the teltanon Valley Railroad.
instead of attending to the transportation business
of his own road, the Beading Railroad president
has turned his attention to the construction of an
other road. In this way three million of dollars
of floating debt has been created, and this floating
(Lebanon Valley) debt is what drove the company
to the wall, and caused the protest of its oblige.
lions.
The directors have great cause to complain or
Mr. Cullen's eonduet in this Lebonon'Palley affair.
He promised them the assistance of the BicCal-
Monts in order to moot the obligations assumed for
that work, and thus free the other business of the
Reading Railroad Company from difficulty. In
this promise ho lies utterly failed, and the debt so
recklessly contracted new bears down the concern.
As a financier Mr. Cullen is without merit. An
incident which has just occurred , shows his cede of
financial tactics very plainly. The Reading Rail
road Compaby hold a note for five thousand dollars,
duo by another company, a few days ago, and
since the bank suspension. That company had
EOM time previously made a contract with tho
Reading Company, that if it was wished, tho note
phould bo renewed, to the same rate ae the Read
ing Company was paying upon its own notes at the
Limo of renewal.
Previous to this time, under Mr. Cullen's mis•
management, the Reading Railroad Company's
Paper had been protested, and Mr. Cullen having
ecome conscientious, insisted that it should be
tenowed for six months at simple interest. The
'pompon) , whose note was held by the Readitig was
rotitled to a renewal on the same terms; but the
nsoientious Mr. Cullen would not renew at sim
ple interest, but demanded three per cent. a month.
his was the conduct of a Shylock, who was not
pven content with his pound of flesh, but required
the blood too. Ho was remonstrated with upon his
disregard of the golden rule, " do as you would be
Flows by." After argument and indignant reproof,
his heart was softened one per sent., and he agreed
.o take two per cent. a month. The debtor cons
amp was not obliged to pay that amount. A coin-
Plaint of the proceedings of this model president
isms made M the directors of the Reading Railroad
Company, and the latter compeller/ Mr. Cullen to
fulfil the agreement which, iq the spirit of a
Shaver, ho desired to break. This incident is a
fair sample of the financial tactics of Mr. Cullen.
He boo no capacity for the station he fills; he has
no idea of the suavities which accelerate business;
he has no pity for the distresses of the creditors of
Hie company, or for the stookholdero whom pro
porty he is depreciating by gross mismanagement,
recklessness, and personal unfitness for the duties
of the station which be holds.
; That these opinions are those of all who know
'anything about the wretched management of the
Reading Railroad Company is susceptible of easy
proof. There is an utter want of confidence in the
Colton administration. Of this fact there is testi
money in the following resolution passed at a maet
log of the citizens of Pottsville, on the 3d of Ooto•
bar, held at the court-house, Walter' Sedgwick.
E'sq., in the chair, and John $1 Crosland, secre
tary, and published in the Minvig Register, of
ifim 10th :
"Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting,
there is groat necessity for a change in the press
dewy of tho Reading Railroad Company, and the
policy of the directors; and no believe the re-
Wooden of John Tucker, Esq.. to that post, MI.
trammelled by a vestige of the present manage
ment, 'will be the best and most effectual way to
do justice to our coal operators, merchants and
business mon ; bring' the staple product of our
country into fair and successful competition with
other coal districts, and thereby furnish a basis of
'credit, confidence, and prosperity to this great
artery of mineral wealth."
The re-election of Mr. Tucker is most impera
tively demanded The hand that raised the com
pany front the brink of insolvency is the only one
to again lift it from the position to which Mr.
Cullen has east it down. That Mr. Tucker had
guided the company " through difficulties" and
" left it prosperous," was attested by the tee
nagers, Charles S. Bokor, Samuel Norris, George
W. Richards, John Aahhurst, David S. Brown,
Joccph Swift, and Mr. Cullen himself. That Ithe
Cullen management has not "done justice to our'
coal operators,' merchants, and business men," is
declared by the citizens of Pottsville, in town
meeting assembled. Furthermore, they say that
the only remedy for the , ruin which menaces the
company, is the re-election of Ilfr, Tudor, and
the restoration of that confidence in the manage
ment of the concern which is now almost' totally
withdrawn. This matter concerns the bond-.
helders;the oroditois, and the stockholders of the
company. Will they exert their' authority to
rescue the Rending Railroad Company from the
incompetent hands which bane Sailed to guide it?
or will they permit it to go into bankruptcy to
their own ruin? These aro questions of the utmost
importance. The causes are known ; the remedy
is in their hands; will they adopt it?
The Apple Crop.—ln awaye of the counties
adjacent to our city, the apple crop, with the ex
ception of the cider apple, is pronounced a failure
generally. But wherever the eider apple is thund'
in the orchards the trees are laden with fruit. In
the middle, and lower sections of the county this is
partioularly the ease. 'This is a matter worthy of
attention of farmers, and many are already
strongly itnprocsed with the idea that the eider ap
ple is, the inset, profitable and, best suited to this
region of country , it hitving proved the most sure
°rep for several yours past. • ,
