THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN KANSAS.

Wined ?Why;that no census was even taken
in nineteen of the thirty-eight counties, and no
registration of ,voters in a like number. By'tho
iiiniteriliorial law the Governor was required
to apportion-the number of delegates to
,be
elected in the several
,counties, upon the cen- ,
SUS thus taken. Acting-Governor STANTON,
when the time came fbr him to make this ap
portionment, (from some cause not explained,)
omitted to apportion any delegates to four of
o,onAties where 'a census had
been takeli—Aontaining, it is said, about four
hundred voters. Though not according to
- li s i;;7the - Governor;--desirous; no doubt, of
Making the Coniebtion as full as possible—ap
portioned delegates hi' four other counties,
where ,;sus` wane' hod been taken, - but
lq ,',.ii'-legistration of votes bad
been made, and also to fifteen other
Voiintleti'itere both a census, and registration
had beep made-,thus leaving entirely out of
Ai' Convention (as he was bound to do, by law;
ftptn the failure of thi pro-slavery territorial
officers to take the census in them) the fifteen
'etountites' in-which no snob census or registry.-
den hnd heennttempted. There were, there

.lsay why did not these votersin those coun

bring themselves within the law ? We answer :
they had no legal power to do so ; bat some
of them, as soon as they found they were thus
disfranchised, did endeaviir to have themselves
represented in the Convention, and got up a
registry, as best they could, and elected dele
gates,-and sent them to.the Convention. But
they were rejected, or rather refused admit

legs, by which a m 151641,1 0. submit their Con
stitution to the people was sustained, it is
evident the prime movers and managers of the
Convention knew they had gone as far as they
could go with safety to their schemes, and
could admit no more -members ; indeed, it re
quired all their efforts to bring even those they
had electcd , to stand up to the Ruud they were
iraotising on the people of the Territory.
Under such a state of facts, will any Demo
crat in :the Union say that the Democrats of
Kansas' who could not vote for delegates,to the
Convention, as well as those who did not,
should he bound by its proceedings, or die

by both force and fraud, seized upon the govern

determined to keep possession of it. We have
misunderstood the character of the Demo

Mr. Faulkner, of the Committee on Military Af

for reference to that committee. The House re
fused to suspend the rules for that purpose:
"Be it enacted, 4.c., That thorn shalt ho added

of the deniers at Itiohmond, the allowanee for
duMpage was abolished, and a corresponding re
duction made in the rate of freight and tolls for
the year. The differonoe in the amount of dump
ago gad in the two years was $118,896.08, which
must be deducted from the above to ascertain cor

" profits, 537,067.20, or 26 37.100 "
Transportation' expenses this year have in
creased 2.60-100 cents per ton of coal carried;
4 4.10 do. of merchandise carried, and decreased
43.06 for through passengers.
The increase in coal arises in part from dimin
ished-tonnage, Increasing the per centago of fixed
°Vargas, but chiefly from the expense of maintain•
tog, daring the lath crisis, the force on the road
usually required for the summer and autumn busi
ness, which, once dispersed, it would have been
difficult to replace in ease of a renewed demand
by the trade.
The increased charge on merchandise is owing
to a smaller average load to the number of trains
run, and the large decrease in the expense per
through passengers arises from the discontinuance
of the express train for the through travel to
Niagara, without any diminution in the number
of travellers on the road.
The preceding comparisons are confined to the
actual receipts and ordinary expenses of the road,
omitting drawbacks and miscellaneous charges.
The following statement, in which those are in:

earned during tho last two years, which compared,

Considering the unsettled and depressed condi
tion of the coal trade during the early part of the
season, and the utter stagnation produeod by the
distrust and difficulties of the last few months, the
managers feel that this result of tho year's bust
nees cannot fail to prove satisfactory to every ono
interested in the company.
ro the bondholders It gives assurances of the
safety of their investments, and to thostockholders
it demonstrates the firm basis upon which the mi
lli, of their property is founded.
A short examination of the peculiar eirennastan
cos that have governed the coat trade during the
past two years will show that the falling off in ton
nn e and receipts has proceeded from causes dis
connected from the operations of the railroad.
In the last annual report it was shown that the
decline In the business of that year arose from the
fact throb the supply of coal from the new regions
and by new avenues that came into operatiou in
tho spring of 1850, had not been met by any cor
responding increase of consumption, and that the
anxiety for business bad led to a competition which
resulted in the reduction of the price of coal, In
many instances, below the cost of production, and
deranged the usual rates of transportation by dif
ferent routes.
The trade closed in a very depressed state; but
as the consumption of coal has seldom remained
stationary during two consecutive years, It was
caufidontly expected that this year there would bo
an increased demand to compensate for the stagna
tion of the previous one. The trade, however,
clamed in the spring as it closed in the autumn—
huger stocks remained over than had born eaten
labsti upon, and it soon became apparent that the
coarse of the trade would bo as unsatisfactory as
Wand been during the previous year.
Prices became unsettled, and the rates of freight
and toll were charged without much regard to the
mual differences heretofore considered necessary to
wore a fair equality between the different trans
putting companies. Our rates for the year Whom
published, and it became a question whether it
trOuld be better to enter into the competition for
Winne at reduced rates, or to risk 801110 diminu
lien of it by continuing a uniform rate of freight
and tolls throughout the your. It coon became
apparent that there would not be any great in
mimeo of consumption, and as the only ehanee for
regularity in the trade was the stability of the
mos of transport, the latter course was adopted
Until the end of July, this volley was Justified
bj the amount of tonnage and profit derived trout
it, and there appeared every probability that the
calculation of the apring would be realised before
the end or the season. With the monetary erioto,
however, this hope disappeared; as mills stopped
work, and furntypes were blown out, consumption
rapidly decremnt; and the general distress that
saute upon the community caused a very sensible
ikeinution In the demand for private purposes.
The business of the operators upon the road suf
fered severely in common with other mercantile
interests, and was almost prostrated by the general
destruct'on of confidence and credit. These diffi
unities, arising so suddenly and unexpectedly,
wire mot by the dealers with much determination,

Over sixteen miles of new track have been put

Renewal &WI Is charged with $15.85110, the
cost of replacing the iron roof of the large work
shop at Reading, which felt by the weight of the
8110 W that accumulated upon it In the great storm
In April last. The new roof is upon an improved
plan, and such an accident will not occur again.
A report from Sir. J. D. Steele on the eulleet of
the renewal fund is printed herewith, showing
that the charge against Income of 3 cents per too
carried 100 miles, is no longer equal to the main
tenance of the railroad in its present condition,
althongh perhaps fully equal to the condition of
the road when the fund stas first estahlishod•

paid out of dividend funds.
This large outlay hasbeen compensated for by in
creased efficiency and decrease of accidents, the
breakage of coal oars having been reduced, as the
tracks were improved, from
1 car to every 1,485 tone, to
" 10,037 " of coal carried.
There romaine still to bo retold and ballasted
ell ulnae of track, and tines bridges to be rebuilt,
the coat of which, spread over three years, will
make en annual expenditure for renewals of
5161,243,33.
Besides those ordinary charges for renewals,
there aro some expenditures which are unavoid
able,
and for-which sense certain fund should be
provided. In the seam of time, by the variations
of trade, sidings become useless at some points of
the road, while at others now ones become neces
sary to aeoommodate new business. Past experi
ence shows that these changes require an annual
outlay of about $lO 000.
Owing to the rapid growth of this city there is a
growing necessity for bridges over and under the
streets, to secure tho safety and convenience of the
inhabitants of the district that are springing up
on and along the line of the railroad. The ad
vantages of thus /operating railroad from street
traffic are so groat that It Is desirable to set aside
annually a small amount of income, to be applied
specially to this purpose It is estimated that for
the next few years 520,000 may thus be advanta
geously employed.
Before the full benefit can be derived from the
Increased width between the tracks, by the intro
duotion of wider cars, the tunnels on the road
must be widened, which Hill require an outlay of
about $lO,OOO. This will be spread over three
years. causing an annual expenditure of $1:1,-

Although not strictly renewals, the above being
aunual charges, may with propriety be included
in the renewal fund. Altogether they amount us

The managers inform you with much regret.
that during the month of September the pressure
of the times rendered it hopeless to attempt to
continue to pay the notes of the company, at their
maturity. It had become Impossible to negotiate
them in the market, upon any terms; and us soon
as arrangements could be made for the payment of
the coupons falling due on the let of October the
company suspended payment. Every effort Was
made to avert such a misfortune, but It was in
evitable. Without the power to obtain any dia..
counts or old front any source, and with a trade
and an income da•ly duaini viltrig, all that Milli
be done was to protect the secured claims, and
keep the road' in operation, by paving the neces
sary working expenses. This has teen done from
the ordinary income of the road,knd it is expected
that claims of the tame nature will ha ptovided
for from the same source until March next.
The income will then improve 89 the spring trade
opens.
Igln order to offer the best Security possible to the
holders of the floating liabilities of the company,
it was decided that a new issue of bonds should bo
made, In accordance with the authority contained
in the resolution paused at the annual meeting of
the stockholders in January last, to boar Interest
at 6 per cent. per annum,
payable half yearly,
and convertible into the stock of the company at
any time prior to the Ist July. 1858 To secure
these bonds, the managers have given to trustees a
mortgage upon all the property and franchises of
the company, which has been duly executed and
recorded.
As suggested in the last annual report, the loan
secured by the new mortgage is for seven millions
of dollars Of this sum '
at as proposed to issue, at
present, oniy a sufficient amount to fund the float
hag debt of the company, and to use the remainder
only as opportunity shall offer, for the settlement
of the bonds maturing in the year IS6O
These now bonds have been offered by the teena
gers in settlement of the liabilities of the compa
ny, at seventy per cent., and a large amount has
already been taken and contracted for; soma hold
ers, however, have preferred to renew their notes
until next summer Sufficient progress has been
made by these settlements and renewals to remove
the dangers of the floating debt, and every allergy
will be directed to relieve the company from a
temporary embarrassment which was produced by
unexampled commercial distress. These renewed
notes will be paid out of the Income, if bonds can-
not be sold or Quota realized in time to meet them.
. .
The managers aro of opinion that no dividend
should be paid while any flouting dent is out
standing. How long it may require for this pur
pose must depend upon the sale of bonds and
realization of assets; but there is no reason to
doubt the settlement of all the floating liabilities
of the company in the coarse of this year.
It is expected that the accruing income of the
company will prevent the necessity for the issue of
any new notes, except for materials. These are
generally taken by the banks, from their mistm
mars, and they will be dispensed with altogether
as soon as practicable.
There will not for some time to come be such
an increase of business as to require an extension
of the present facilities of the company, and no
necessity for new outlays of money in that respect
will arise. The relaying, to., of roadway will be
provided by an inoreased - appmpriation for renewal
purposes, and the new depots in the city and at
Beading can be postponed until funds can bo pro-
vided for them in advance.
In accordance with the resolutions passed at the
lost meeting by the stockholders, the managers
have continued to extend facilities to the Lebanon
Valley Railroad, In atticr to insure its early com
pletion. It has been delayed by circutnatanees
beyond the control of either company. Its corn
pletion Is now secured, and the trains will, by the
end of January, be running to Harrisburg, though
the alteration of the canal will not be completed
until March, so as to permit a junction with the
railroads that meet there. Upon consulting as to
the best mode of working that read, it appeared
that there would be considerable difficulty In nr
ranging
t erms o f any lease to meet the contin
gencies that might arise in a now lino, and it was
at bemaluded, after much deliberation, that a

While the managers have had occasion to de
plore the difficulties which necessarily led to the
suspension of payment of the company, they can
not fail to regard the exhibit of its affaits as a es
