TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1800,
French history in a Nutshell.
Looking over Allan's History of Europe,
from tho commencement of the French Bello-
Julien until the restoration of the Napoleon
dynasty in 1852—a work which, despite its
Tory bias, is a repertory of valuable facts, po
litical and personal—we were impressed with
the idea of the mutability of politics in Paris.
On a hasty thought, who would believe that
all the great events in France, from the Revo
lution of 1789 to the close of the Italian War
In 1869, took place within the limited period
of seventy years? This includes the destruc
tion of the French Monarchy, the first Re
public, the rise, progress, and fall of NAPO
LEON, the restoration of the Bourbons, the
return from Elba, and Imperial rule of the
Hundred Days, the second return of the
Bourbons, the imprisonment and death of
NAPOLEON, the accession and deposition of
CISARLES the Tenth, the "glorious Three
Days of July," the rise of LOUIS PHILIPPE to
the French throne as LAFAYETTE'S beet of
Republics," the Revolution of 1848 and exile
of the Orleans family, the second Republic
with LA.MARTINE'S brief ascendency, the elec
tion of LOUIS NAPOLEON to the Presidency, the
coup d'itat of 1851, the restoration of the Em
pire, the entente cordiale with England, the
visits of Narorcox to London and of Vicx.o
- to Paris, the Crimean War, and the recent
contest of 1869, which aimed at making Italy
free c‘ from the Alps to the Appenines."
We shall gratify historical students, if not
general readers, by condensing into a very
litnited space, the annals of the fourteen dif
ferent changes of Government which France
has experienced in the seventy years between
1789 and 1859—a period which is within the
memory of numerous living persons :
1. Lows XVI., and the Assemblies.—May
5, 1789, to August 10, 1792.
2. Tho National Convention.—September
21, 1792, to October 5, 1795.
8. The Directory.—Octobor 6, 1795, to No
vember 7, 1799.
4. The Consulate; NAPOLEON, Sleaze, and
Deoos.—December 24, 1799, to August 2,
1802.
5. Tho Consulate for Lilo; NAPOLEON.-
August 2, 1802, to May 18, 1804.
6. Tho Empiro.—March 27, 1804, to April
11,1814.
7. Restoration of Louts XVllL—April 24,
1814, to March 19,1816.
8. Imperial Reign of the Hundred Days.—
March 19, 1815, to June 22, 1815.
9. Second Restoration of the Bourbons.—
July 8, 1816, to August 1, 1830.
10. Lovie PIIILIPPE aA King.—August 7,
1810, to February 24, 1848.
11. Second Republio.—February 20,1848,
to December 2, 1851.
12. Presidency for Ten Years.—January
15, 1852, to December 2, 1863.
13. The Empire restored.—December 9,
1862.
Mire, then, in a few lines, is the history of
Government in France during the last seventy
years. What future changes may take place
no one can prophesy, but the moral of the
Past is that, In Franco, nothing Is stable; ex
cept instability.
Annual Report of the Directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad CO.
Orrice Or THE PiXNA. RAILBOLD CO ,
PRIL/DELPIIIA, Feb. 4, 1860.
To Me Stock Adders oftlie
Pennsylvania Railroad Company :.
lifebedience to the requirements of the'
charter
of the company, your Board of Directors submit
their report of the operation. of your road during
the past year, and the condition of the company at
its ohms.
The recovery of the manufacturing and agrienl
total interests of the country from the oonsequenoes
of the financial revulsion of 1857, and the failure
of the cereal crops of the West for that as well as
the preceding and succeeding years, has necessarily
been slow.
Under there 'circumstances we could scarcely
have hoped for any material increase in the traillo
of the road during the year 1859. The Increased
business has, however, been steady, and exhibits a
general improvement in the sources from whenoe
the revenue of the company is derived.
The earnings from freight, owing to the extreme
low rates obtained daring a considerable portiorsof
the year, consequent on the competition between
the New Fork Central Railroad and the transmit
era on the Erie Canal, do not correspond with the
Increased tonnage of the road.
The following condensed statement exhibits the
results of the operations of your road for the year
1859:
Earnings of the company from the business of
the road:
From passengers
U. B. malls $1,420,912 43
74,483.00
expresses 75,120.00
freights 3,656,111.15
miscellaneous 135,728.63
$5,362,335.21
Expenses of operating the road were:
Cost of conduoting trans
portation $1,333,041.00
Cost of motive power.... 864,076.92
" maintenance of road 671,100 19 ,
oars. 190,278.34
" general expenses... 72 241.70
$3,130,733.15
Net earnings of the road. $2,231,617.06
The earn Inge of the road, es compared with
those of the preceding year, give an increase of
$177,024.53.
The inereased earnings for the firatolass passen•
gere amount to $73,355.99, while the earnings
from the emigrant business ehow it decrease of
828,681.71 ; leaving as the inorease from the whole
passenger traffic' the sum of $48,674 28. This In
°roes° was mainly derived from the local travel
upon the road, and is due to the increased facilities
afforded for this character of business. The Phi.
ladelphia Division shows en increase equivalent to
a passage over the whole division of from 169,379
in 1858, to 296,488 in 1859, and on the main line of
the Harrisburg and Lancaster road from 109,481
in 1858 to 124,244 in 1859, notwithstanding the
competition between Harrisburg and Philadelphia,
by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and its
Lebanon Valley branoh.
The whole number of passengers transported by
the Company during the year was 1,459,110, and
the miles travelled amounted to 54,839,691, or en
average of 37.5-10 miles per passenger. It affords
much gratification to the Board to renew the state
ment made in the last annual report, that notwith
standing the large number of passengers carried
over the road, not a single life has heartiest.
The freight earnings for the year amounted to
the sum of $119,904.84• more than was derived
from this source in 1858. The increase of the
freight earnings is entirely due to the local busi
ness, exceeding that of 1858 the amount of 110,937
tone, while the through freight, amounting in all
to 239,008 tons, was only increased 12,998 tons.
The whole tonnage moved upon the reed daring
1859 was 1,170,240 tons, exclusive of 70,875 tons of
wood, coal, lumber, so., for the nee of the Com
pany. Embraced in the foregoing tonnage, there
was transported, in the cars of the oempany, 210,-
003 tool of coal, and of the same article 210,722
tone in the oars of individuals, making the entire
movement of coal 421,625 tone, and an !norms.) in this
traffic over the preceding year of 81,087 tons. The
amount of coal delivered in Pittsburg during the
last year (all in oars other than these of the Com
pany) wan 100,302 tone, and varying but little from
the amount for the year 1858.
For more full and precise information in regard
Li the earnings and expenses of the road, the kind
and amount of tonnage, and foinumerons interest
ing details. the etoekholdere are respectfully re
ferred to the ample tabular statements from the
Controller and Auditor, which will be found ap
pended to this report.
The resuitof the year's business should be grati
fying to the ehareholders, as demonstrating the
value of their property, and showing the strength
of Its position. Your Board of Directors have not
only been enabled to declare three per cent. semi
annual dividends, clear of State tax, but have had
a balance sufficient to justify the oreation of a sink
ing fund for the redemption of the second mort
gage bonds of the Company. in accordance with
previous intimations to these bondholders.
The funds furnished to the trustees of the Sink
ing Fund have been invested by them In the shares
of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company, and
to an amount of more than one-half of the capital
stook of that oompany. This investment, while it
yields a full interest upon the outlay, protects the
business of this company from the undue 1Mb:ono
of other interests.
The roadway her not only been maintained in
complete order during the year, but it has passed
the period at which railways usually attain their
maximum cost for " maintenance of way." Owing,
however, to the quality of the iron used in its
construction, the Pennsylvania Railroad has but
just reached this point. The amount of iron sup
plied for repairs, during the year, is equivalent
to fitly miles of rack. will,* with the precast ex
tent of line, is about the quantity that will be
annually required to keep the road in 000 d eon
' dition. A lower rate of speed, for both passen
ger and freight trains would materially lesson
tho wear of the rally and the maohinery, and effect
important savings in the cost of working the road
in neatly every department.
To attain high speeds heavy and powerful loco
motives must be used, and additional safe-guards
aro required to compensate for the increased risk
involved Tho destructive effects of these heavy
maohinee, moving at high veloeitlem, can be readily
appreciated by every one, and it is, therefore, a
matter of surprise that railway managers should
persist in this practioe. This Company cannot,
however, reduce the speed of its trtina, or advent,
its through rates end retain its customers, while

The increase in the canal revenues over 1858 was
$18,419 30, and the Increased expenditures were
$61,394.08, embracing the sam of $24,294.79 ex
pended In the re-erection of a bridge over the Sue
quehanna river at Clark's Ferry, which had been
blown down by a severe storm, and also an expen
diture of about $B,OOO Incurred for steam towage,
rendered necessary in consequence of the destruc
tion of the bridge. The remaining portion of the
increase of expenses was incurred in deepening and
enlarging the capacity of the pastern division of
the canal.
The amount of coal transported on the canal' of
the Company, during the year 1859, was 515,304
tone, being an immense over the preceding year of
164,634 tom, and the amount of lumber trans.
Ported was increased from 95,770,453 feet In 1858
to 120,074,675 feet in 1859, giving an average in-
Crean of tonnage of about twenty-five per cent.
The gross; revenue of the canals was not, however,
increased in the same ratio as the tonnage, owing
ton reduction of toll, rendered necessary in order
to retain this trifile in its onstemary ',Unmet
The enlargement of the fluarahanna and Wyo.
ming canals, which It is understood will be effected
before the opening of navigation In the ensuing
awing, will so redone the cost of transportation on
the whole line as to allow a restoration of the tolls
to their former limit. It has been the policy of
this Company (contrary to public expectation) to
cultivate the trade upon their minis and develop*
the resumes of the region of eountry contiguous
to them, in order, if possible, to render them pro
ductive property.
These canals were received from the Common-
Wealth in a very.dilapldated condition; the prism
of the canal being so reduced as to Unruly afford
more than a depth of three feet of water through-
Out. The condition of these works rendered it im
practicable for thou engaged in transportation on
them to contend stmesaally.trith the railway, for
the traffic of the country traversed, and the eon-
Sequenee was, at the time the company resolved
poooeralon of -them, their trade wan gradually de
taining.
Upon the Eastern Division the depth of waterha,
been increased to a minimum of Ova feet, and the
other divisions of the works, where any trade of im
portance was to be accommodated, have been rt.
stored•to their original capacity. No portion of
then Canals, exoept the Eastern Division, (of 46
miles in length) is self-sustaining; but it is hoped
that the Juniata Division, as far west as Hunting
don, may ultimately be made to produce some net
revenue.
The management of the entire line of eanala has
been placed under Thomas T. Merman, Bat., eivil
engineer, who has conducted the affairs In this
branch of the Company's genice with commend
able judgment and economy.
It will be seen from the Statement of the Trea

There has been charged to construction and
equipment account for the past year the sum of
8758,547.26, which has been expended In templet
ing the second track from Pittsburg to Lockport,
and from Johnstown, in Cambria county to Banes.
in Huntingdon county, leaving a epees of 18 5-10
miles to be filled up between Lockport and Johns
town, and of 56 9.10 miles between Barree and
Harrisburg, in all 724.10 miles, to °omelete a line
of double track for the entire length ofyour road.
Other portions of this expenditure have been made
ict extensions of the shops at Pittsburg and Altoo
na; the constructions of sidings, warehouses, and
passenger stations on the line of the Philadelphia
division (Philadelphia and Columbia Bethesda
and in the 111011 , 190 of our ear equipment ; details
of all which will be found in the tabular state
ments marked B, hereto appended.
These expenditures have, In part, been met, as
well as a payment to the State of 8100,000 on le
eount of the Main Line purchase, by an increase
of the funded debt of the Company—the remain
der, after providing for the payments due to the
Sinking rand, having been contributed from the
profits of the toad.
The erection of a passenger station at Pittsburg,
and one at Lancaster, a warehouse at Johnston,
and the extension of the second track from Barre.
to Petersburg, or Huntingdon, as also the cost of
reaching a Delaware terminus, will require an ex
penditure to be provided for in 1880.
The practical working of the road eines the pur
chase of the Philadelphia division has demon
strated the Importance of's change in the distribu
tion of the motive power of the line, which will
render necessary the enlargement of the atioomeao
(lotions for it at Horriaburg, and throw out of use
the intermediate shops. It is estimated by the
General Superintendent that the cost resulting
from moil an arrangement (and b'y which the road
ran be operated in three divisions) would be fully
covered by the saving effected in the motive power
and transportation departments in a Dingle year.
The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Rail
road Company, which from time to time received
pecuniary aid from this Company, hos been in
operation from Pittsburg to Chicago during, the en
tire year 1859. Its increased revenues during that
period, over those of the preceding year, when we
consider the depressed condition of the trade of the
Northwest, should be deemed quite satisfactory.
Had the older portion of the road and machinery
been maintained in good, effective condition, the
not results upon that rood would have been sorb as
to restore confidence in the enterprise. 'Theheavy
expenditures on these coconuts, however, left but
a small amount to ho applied to the liquidation or
the floating ?debt. and to. meet the advances re
quired for the extension of the line.
This floating debt consisted chiefly of the aggre
gate of that of the three Companies composing the
consolidated line, which at the time of consolida
tion was much larger than prudence justified. It
was carried mainly by a hypothecation of its bonds.
The protection of these bonds from sacrifice has
been the chief difficulty encountered in arranging,
the indebtedness of that Company.
Under the belief that the floating debt creditor.
received too much consideration from the Direc
tors, to the injury of the mortgage bondholders„
the latter applied to the United States Distriet
Court for the appointment of a Receiver. This
proceeding was concurred in by the Board of Di
rectors, after a change in the officer was agreed
upon, and the decree of the court so arranged as
to equitably pentad all intermits involved. This
decree of the court proteetu, es far as praetleable,
the interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad Comp.

Year Board of Directory, in parse - nos of is :,
~
Bons passed at your last annual meeting , . Used for proposals for property suitable fo r:-
mind depot on the Delaware river, at at
between the mouth of the Scbnylkill _Wad Alfa 2:9
miles above Richmond. Under Ude itellatters,-;„:
offers for property at different localities were
received, and referred to the chief engineer 'or-
the cit 7 for estimates of reaching the samara - - t
properties offered. The report of thii officer -wee -
published, for your Information. After a care- '.,_
ful consideration of this report, and an enemies- -- 1
lion of the various /its by special committees of *: >
the Board, the location was determined, with - iv.
markable noanimity, at the foot of Washington
Street, immediately above the Navy Yard. By. - -
member of, the Board, except one, folly based
that the place selected is, under all the stream- -
stances, the best adapted to the purposes for Which
A river terminus Is required. The object to be at
tained by a terminal on the Delaware, Is torednee
the cost of placing the' products of the West, and
of the interior of ourown State, vie the Pennsyl- -
Tanta route, at a point where °heap storage and -
good shipping facilities can be obtained, and thee
secure our due proportion of these products for
transportation, to be shipped coastwise or to
foreign markets. The requirements for such a
site were economy in the oostrootten of a road
adapted to the use of 'casettes steam power, con
venience of access, ample space at moderate sat, -
and proximity to the business tents of the city.
The leeation at the foot of Washington street
was early determined upon In the minds of a ma,
jority of the Board as ono which would boat meet
these requirements, and the only &Moult, ex
perienoed in arriving at a details concision was
as to the continued use of locomotives upon that
avenue. After maturely considering the subject
they felt justified that the great Interests involved
in the enterprise would be salSelent to' control this
question, while to reach any other
_point, suggested
there was no route that could at all compare with
it in cheapness of ocestruction, or superior to It In
aoceptability from the basins centre of-Phila
delphia, unless it was that via Marlin street,
which required to make It available municipal and
individual concessions that It scarcely seemed rea
sonable to ask.
The larg sum required to complete the Callow
street eonneellon, added to the high rice of
lend at the terminus, pimpled it beyond the eonatie
wit:Loner the Board as a project to which they fell -
justified in contributing any considerable amount.
The sum required to consummate this eonneetion.
if it had all to be furnished .by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, would be so large that the inte
rest upon it would defeat the main object sought in
retching the Delaware front—that of reducing the
cost of placing produce on shipboard. To render_
this roots available for the object intended, the
parties constructing it would neoessarily have to
sink the larger eariton of their investment, as the
Entered upon the oat of the improvement must
form part of the charge for transportation. Re
duce Uses* charges to the lowest remunerating
standard, and the advantages of this Company are
Increased ea as to enable them to meet their Gem-
pothers and vastly augment thebusineas of our city.
Under existing arrangements, a large portion of
the Western products brought of Philadelphia,
poses directly through to other markets for sale,
storage or shipment, where superior facilities "are
offered. One of the objects to be obtained by am e
depot privileges on the Delaware front is to retain
the produce on storage, in warehouses on the wharf
until the owner determines upon his market. This -
Iseetremilation of produce will inevitably attract
shipping to thisport, and treat* a competition for ,
freights new so much desired.
Toe louts adopted also affords the advantage of -
eonnecting (by a short branch road) directly with
the City Gas Works, which would effect a saving
to transportation and handling of the coals 'menial,
consumed by them, equal to the interest upon the -
cost of extending the road from West Philadelphia
(its present terminus) to a connection with the
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimoreßailroad, -
east of the Schuylkill. A oonneethm with the lat
ter road at the west end of Gray's Ferry bridge
may be made at small expense, which, combined
with an extensien of the Philad elphia and Reading
Railroad to the P. nnsylvania Railroad on the west
bank of the Schuylkill, would enable the fernier
company to supply the region of country reached -
by the West Chester and Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroads, with coal, instead of
passing, as at present, along Broad- street.
It' has been the policy of your Board to seek
an increase of traffic by scouring freights destined
to any part of the world, in all oases where they
believed they could add to the profits of the share
holder*, while they have, with equal care. sought
to protect the manufacturing and 0910 m ereial inter
ests
of Philadelphia, whose means hare been ea

ferences, in her error, in the rates of freight, as
were due to the shorter distance it was to be trans

MODE Or TASOG via CENSUS or MX C.rt TPD
Sr.trsti.—As this is the year for taking the eensus,
the following remarks in relation thereto, which
we find in the Washington Constitution, will be
of Interest to many persons:
,• The duties of this undertaking devolve upon
the United States marshals, who appoint their own
assistants. The General Government has in each
'-itate or Territory one or more judicial districts,
with each of whin is connected a marshal, who sets
as high sheriff in the District Court of the United
States. These marshals are required by law to
subdivide their districts, and for each subdivision
to appoint an assistant, taking care not to Include&
greater population (by estimate) than 20,000 in say
one rabdivinn.
" The assistants, having been qualified by oath
for the proper performance of their duties, are
furnished, through the marshals; with blanks and
inetruotlons. In the prosecution of their work,
they are required to mike two copies of their re
port. The original returns are filed with the clerk
of the court of each county. and the copies are
forwarded to the marshal, who transmits one copy
to the Secretary of State for his district, and the
other to the census office in Washington. The
compensation to the marshal to in proportion to the
population enumerated by his assistants; !heal&
that exceed one million, be Is paid one dollar for
each thousand persona numerated; should the
population returned by his assistants be less than
one million, he receives the sum of one dollar and
twenty-flve cents For earth one thousand persons re
turned—a system of compensation sufficiently mo
derate, but which may admit of the payment of a
greater anionnt for a lesser serviee, as in the ease
of a marshal whose returns include 050,000 per
sons at one dollar and twenty-five mints per thou- i
send persons, no more than he whose returns do
not much exceed a million—an Inequality not un
usual in rating fees for mileage and other services
" The assistants who perform the work of enu
meration are paid on a different principle, com
bining in a novel manner compensation for labor
and travel—one which was found to operate very
fairly and satisfactorily to the emplelyees and Go
vernment. fits allowance is two cents for each
person enumerated ; for each farce, ten cents ; for
each establishment of productive industry, fifteen
cents; for social statistics, two per cent= on the
amount allowed for enumertling the reputation;
and two cents for nth mortality return, with ten
cents for travelling expthves, to be amekained by
multiplying the square loot of the number of dwel
ling-hones in his district by the square root of the
ntunber of equare miles In hie division; from the
product whereof is to be derived the number of
miles travelled, and eight cents per page for the
two copies.
" The marshals and assistants in California,
Oregon, and Utah, and New Mexico, under the
operation of an amen Iment to the law, ree iced
compensation at the discretion of the See -vary of
the Interior. whin was determined by the addi
tion of one huadred per centum."
HORRIBLE DEATH PROM HYDROPHOBIA.—About
the beginning of November !eat, Melissa. Carbert,
aged twelve years, daughter of John Carhart, of
Hickory Grove township, lowa, wee bitten on the
arm by a dog. The Davenport Gazette thus de
scribes the result:
"Last week she complained of pain In her back,
and general indisposition. Showing her 'dog
wound' to one of her wheel companions, last week,
she sold it was still painful, and her sores looked in
flamed. Saturday afternoon she lay in bed.
Sunday morning eke went into convulsions on
the sight of water. Her ecmvulsions afterwards
were from a few minutes to over an hour in du
ration, and she was sensible between them.
During these spasms she clutched at everything
violently, chewed a napkin, and appeared made
more frantic by the appearance of her own saliva
on the napkin. At times she shrieked fearfully,
yet did not appear sensible It was a horrid spec
tacle. Monday morning, during her rational mo
ments, she called the family around her, and bade
them an affectionate farewell, being fully sensible
of her hopeless condition. Her convulsions gra
dually became weaker, and Monday evening, at
5} o'clock, the quietly died. Her death occurred
about nine weeks after the date of the biting. The
dog, a very large one, appeared suddenly and
mysteriously, and was utterly unknown in the
neighborhood."
