GOLD closed in New York yesterday at 181 i. • • THE five Major Generals of the Army Arank in the ftglowing order : R&i LEGS, • MEADE, SHERMAN, THOMAS. HANSOM. Tiu censidemtion of the bill to repeal the Tenure•ofoffiee Act was resumed in the Senate yesterday, but no action was ruched. , IT is se rn that Benatdr Sintima's forth coming war speech on the question of the ..iklahaina claims will correspond to cur tain views which have been attributed to President GRANT. Rumor also declares that Mr. MOTLEY, who is likely to have the English mission, coincides in the same views. We shall see ! THE announcement of General Plum, to the Spanish Cortes, that the monarchi cal party were prepared to announce their candidate for the throne at an early day, attracts the anxious and expectant atten lion of the world. Upon this nomination hang the present peace of that Kingdom, and its national fortunes for generations to come. • IT yes developed in the Rime, yester day, that in enrolling the Appropriation Bill, the item requiring whisky dealers to refund to the Government the amount paid as salaries to store keepers, amount ing in the, , aggregate to nearly two' mil lion dollars, had been dropped• out. Whether the mistake resulted from acci dent or fraud can but be surmised, but it is not improbable that it was unintention ally omitted. The Government is inter ested in having it restored. Tam 10:31011, that the President has de clared his imwillingnesa to make re movals of officials to any considerable extent, until the Senate makes some dis position of the pending bill to repeal the Tenure-of• Office Law, may be set down , as a pure canard, more misohievaus in its intent than in'its effects. The opposi tion are industrious in their efforts to turn the questions relative to this law to • the embarrassment of our . friends, but the game will not pay-their expenses. . _ IN DEFEMENCE to the personal solicits lions of large numbers of disappointed aspirants for office, the Republican Sena tors and Representatives from Pennsyl . man% met again, on Tuesday everting, to ?war 7,objecOns to the existing:nil-der standing relative to the control of the local Federal appointments. But a pro * • trotted deliberation afforded no new orvalid objections to that understanding, which was finally re-affirmed by the meeting, thus leaving the question in that attitude which will be most satisfactory to all dishaerested persons. Tnz Cincinnati Enquirer, a jesding Democratic journal of Ohio, "upon more mature consideration" advises its friends,- in the Legislature of that State not to shirk the responsibility of a vote on the ratification of the XVth Article, as at first proposed, but to face the, music at once. And this, the Enquirer puts on the • ground that the people .of Ohio had fully ' expressed their opinion of equal suffrage by the large majority which rejected the - State propositionin,lB67. But that jour nal, as do the'residue of the Democratic press in other States as well as in OhiO, flrids it convenient to forget that, upon their own showing. 'as attested by their files throughout the canvass, the Presi= slealtial 'election of '6B was contested upon -precisely the lame grodnd; the results of that canvass are by this time pretty well known. For months, it was the . staple arguinent of the opposition journals Aittgriet, the . Republican 'candidate, that bts election meant equal Suffrage, irre -150041ve of race or eondition.

The results are of a gratifying character to the stockholders, showing their property to be in an excel lent condition, and with the promise of prosperous future. During the year, the Company has sub scribed $50,000 for the constriction of a branch from Clinton, on the Akron line, to Massillon, a point on the main line. This branch is to be completed by July next. • It is announced that. the future bus ness connections with the Pennsylvania Railroad are to be upon terms as favor able as the latter shall extend to other roads in which she has a pecuniary . in terest. Tie Report states that the . Directots have subscribed $300,000 to the stock of the new road from Indianapolis to Terre Haute, anfi'stkat—the entire line of 460 . miles, from Indianapolis to St. Louis, soon to be completed , will then be owned by a tompany in which the Fort Wayne holds one - half the share capital. Ito reference whatever appears, in Jhe. Report,to any arrangement or negotia tion with the Erie Company, unless it may be, included in "the lanai arrange ments with connecting roads, for inter change of business." The meeting unanimously adopted the Legislative Act classifying the Directors of the Company, and but three of these offiobrs were accordingly chosen. A fuller report of the meeting appears elsewhere. , GEORGIA. The Senate. Judiciary, flommittee re. ports back, without substantial amend ment, the bill of Mr. EDMUNDS repealing the Act admitting Georgia, and re-estab lishing a provisional government in that State. The.. credentials of the Georgia Senators were also reported back to await the action of the Senate upon the bill. 4., This is a somewhat different Senate from that body which, some weeks ago, recognized the Electoral vote of Georgia as legal. There has since been an in fusion of new members, all of whom are likely to favor a thorough and decided policy towards the State ;—a policy much more in accordance with the general Elev. timent of the public. We am not alto gether without a hope that this policy may be settled upon, in both Houses, before the close of the present '13e881013. The social.and political condition of Georgia is such as to demand the • earliest atten tion and the wisest firmness on the part of Congress. The State is now peculiarly 'the theatre of a lawless and violent spirit, which seems to have been' elsewhere suppressed, but which finds- a con genial protection among a people who are to-day successfully defying the Federal authority, and trampling upon - their legal obligations to the Union. This condi tion of things daily grows worse—and we 4 shall look in vain for any improve ment until our friends at Washington ap ply the only, effective remedy for the cur rent mischiefs. The Georgiarebels have not yet been reconstructed, and will not be until they feel the full strength of the Federal hand. • When we have the end of discussions upon' the Tenure-of , pflice, we may begin reasonably to expectotinat some other mat ters of serious National concern will re ceive their long-needed attention. Until that time, we cannot avoid regarding this Georgia busineis as worse than a running ulcer upon the body politic, which might be easily healed, but left uncured and uncured for, is slowly corrupting all con stitutional republicanisms in the South. THE SOUTH ON LONGSTKEET. The Lonbrrille Courier-journai states that General LONesTREET "has received and accepted" his appointment in the Customs at New Orleans. It is not - im probable that our cotemporary is in error so far as the alleged acceptance is concerned, the general impression being that the General has declined the commis sion. But there is no rhistake as to : the spirit in which that journal, representing no doubt, the sentiment of a numerous class at the Month, receives this overture for peace from the present administration. The services of the General to the cause of secession and rebellion are distinctly acknowledged, but, apparently for the purpose of Kesenting the contrast be tween that glorious'career and his Ives ent "selfhumiliation and abasement" in the more odious light, his haste to "succumb to all the exactions proposed by the treacherous and insolent foe" is denounced by the Courter in the bitterest terms. As "an aspirant for the favor' of the remorseless oppressors °this section" his case is held uPto the public scorn as "one of a class of cases at the Bouthr— a class so 'numerous, says that-, journal, that "there are hundreds and even thous ands of obscure apostates wha are se( k ing the rewards of their perfidy and shamelessness." It adds : In truth ; he entire mass of place-bunt ers in that section, native-born scalawag's, nerves and carpet-baggers, to say noth ingot here and there a Longstreet, are corrupt and mercenary , traitors to their principles and their friends. , We learn, from this Louisville paper, that the defection of Gen. LONCISITHEITr that is to say his loyal acceptance of the PITTSBURGH GAZEITE : THURSDAY, MARCH. 18, 1869. reconstructed situation of the South— was, for a time, regarded by his late friends as "an unfortunate idiosyncrasy;" the idea that he could be induced "to ac cept office or Place was repudiated as dis honor able to a Southern hero. But no, he has industriously sought and promptly received his reward." for desetting from "the Whole masses of the 'respectable white population of the South, Who have felt deeply outraged" by the "hard and oppressive terms" which the Federal gov ernment has exacted, in violation of "cer tain well understood conditions." It is this sort of talk which has done so much injury to the South, and which still stands in the way of her solid inter ests.'t) The folly of such attempts to keep aliv the embers hate among her' eople, may very mildly be termed suiCidal. We are glad to be assured, however, by our Louisville cotemporary, that there are thousands of LONGSTILEETS who have given in their adhesiOn to the Radical cause, and we May hope that their example shall have the influence which our cotemporary evidently fears. DREGS OF THE yVAR. At the close of the war, after the two great contending armies were dis banded, and vast number of soldiers, in fatuated with the reckless lives they had so long been leading in the camp, were suddenly thrown into the walks of civil life, it was feared,even by those who had the largest faith in the character of our people as "citizens to-day and soldiers to morrow," that distressing consequences would follow to society therefrom. In deed, for some time after the war had ended, grave -alarm was everywhere manifested that the people would suf fer seriously, crime increase, the industries become neglected, and wickedness and idleness mark society generally, as the . , legitimate consequences of the transfer from the excitement of the scene of battle of so many men whose tastes for the puce and order of quiet civil life were lost in their passions for nomadic exist ences, change and adventure. The gist really grave effect of the transition was felt in the agricultural districts. Daring the continuance of the war, the burden of farm labor principally rested on aged and infirm men, too weak to enter the hardships of military campaigning, and on women who gladly gave up their hus bands, sons and brothers to fight in the cause they espoused. Their powers of endurance and capacity for labor were heavily taxed, and long before the war ceased gave evidence of exhaustion. The young men, drawn from the farm . into the army, on their return, as a general thing, showed little disposition to take up- a labor no longer congenial to their tastes, or in accordance with their desire for excitement. They cared • not to enlistin the humble ranks of the producers but flocked to the cities to leati aimless lives waiting for something to turn up. On the farm they were useful and ex pert, in the army they formed the best of fighting material; but, not trained to bus iness, having no trade or profession, they became useless to society - and themselves. They were slowly drivki back to the country, and, taught wisdom by experi ence, became once more honest and sturdy yeomen. The cities are no longer overcrowded with their presence, and in the short period of four years things have assumed the old fashioned condition of be fore the war. The war left another class, by no means so large, who, naturally possessed of ad vtnturous and • romantic dispositions, were at a loss to employ their wits and time after the eoldiers' occupation was gone.- They - constitute in this country what is known as the gun- powder eleinent of France. They would hail with plei nre the outbreak of a war with a foreign cots try, and gladly re joice for an opportunity to again keep step to the martial music of fife and drum and march into the thickft of battle. It is not surprising therefore, that taking, advantage of the presence of these rest less men in the country, military adven *turers should look-to Cuba with covetous eyes and revolve the problem of captur ing that rich island now plunged in the miseries of revolution. That the idea has been entertained of sending from this country a filibustering expedition to Cuba, there can be little doubt; but that it has assumed any tangible form is yet to be seen. In time of peace, when the American people had little of the war spirit in them, Warxes, the Nicaraguan hero, had no difficulty, in obtaining a formidable force to carry ou his famous filibustering expedition.t Should some equally enterprising adven turer arise to-day- and fling to the breeze his banner for Cuba or death, thousands would be found willing to enlist, if actu ated by no higher ambition than to grow rick in the spoils which would WIWI? . the takin- on g° .eorTganldualzbaltieopnrizeof suchWhan e do , not lookex pedition as an improbable event. Even now the Charleston papers assert that several such expeditions have sailed or are about to sail for. Cuba from the coasts of South Carolina and Georgia, one of them conducted by Gen. Jounnan; late of the Confederate army. Whether the announcement be true or false, future events will decide. The Government has had no official intimation of the depq tura of enthusiasts, else, doubtless, they would have been held prisoners at;home. Such a movement, however, will prove popular, although decidedly unlawftil and unwise, and draw that large class, to which we have referred, into its sympa thy and to lend hearty ce.operation. The law-abiding citizens will frown on any , violation of the neutrality laws or nation- alhonor, and no matter what succeis mayr attend such expeditions, the projectors may cmheto grief in the end. The spirit of conquest and desire to invade!; othef soils, carrying with them the fire Ibraild of war, is not the least important dreg left by our late war, and the sooner it is extinguished the better for all. . PITTSBURGH, FORT 'WAYNE AND CHICAGO RAILWAY. Seventh Annuli Meeting of thel Smck hoiders—Annual Report of URI Presi dent and Board of Directors—Elec tion of Directors. " • The seventh annual meeting of the stockholders of tne Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway was held Wednesday, at the office of the Com liany, at the corner 'of Penn and Tenth streets. The meeting was organized shortly after ten o'clock by calling J. S. Craft, Esq., of Pittiburgh, to the chair, and appointing F. M. Hutchison, Esq., Secretary., The seventh annual report of Presi dent Cass was then read by the Secretary, of which we make the following abstract: Your Board of Directors, in making this, its seventh Annual Report, congrat ulate you nia the prosperity that has at tended the business of the company du ring the last fiscal year. While it enter tained a hope during the entire months of the year of moderate increase in the gross and net revenue, such hope has been more than realized in the gratifying result attained. exhibiting, as it does, a lare increase in the gross earnings, and a relative reduction in the expenses.

Company out of the earnings made by the road of this Company. Ex perience no doubt will soon enable us so to adjust the per tentage due to each, so to practically conform to the earnings due on the business . belonging legiti mately to the respective Companies. This organization, recently perfected, is now engaged in building a railroad, about twelve miles in length, from lidas anon to Clinton, on the Akron branch, which will open a new line to Cleveland, over the latter road for the county con tiguous to the main line, between Orville and Alliance. The Board_ of Directors have subscribed for one thousand shares ($50,000) of the capital stock of the Mas silon and Cleveland Railroad Company. The whole road is under contract, and will be in use by the first of July of this year. An analysis of the business of the East ern - Division (between Pittsburgh and Crestline, 188 miles) shows that the tonage,•especially between way stations, continues to increase largely, and is nearly in the same ratio in both diree tions—the large trade from the New Castle, Lawrence Branch, having caused the eastward movement to preponderate over the Westward movement about eleven and a half per-et - mt. The increase of earnings of the West. , ern Division was 392,209, or 20 3.5 per cent. In the number of passengers carried. of which increase about twenty-five per cent. occurred In the local trade; some $85,561,83, seven per cent. in the revenue received. The oondltion of the road and of its equipments have been greatly improved, while the motive power and rolling stook facilities have been largely increased. The report refers to the fact of the crease of travel on the Eastern Division of the road, and states that, it warrants the extension of the runs of the rLesent accommodations trains to Enon Valley in one case and Beaver Falls in another. This new arrangement is expected to take place In April. :Reference is also made to the imperative necessity, incon sequence of increased travel, for the ex tension of the double track from Roches ter, the present terminus, to - Beaver , Summit. a distance of nearly ten miles. 1 Improvements In the County Buildings ..

(so far as their property is concerned,) which has taken place during the year, is the practical absorption, by the Pennayl yama Railroad Company , of the road and branches of the Columbus. Chicago and Indiana Central Railroad' Company, through a lease by the P. C. and St. Louis - Railivay Company, the majority of the stock of the last named company be ing owned and voted upon by the Penn sylvania Company. Alter referring to the effects that this change may have, the report says: "We have the assur ances of the present officers of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company. that it is their intention to so- liberally manage their roadsest of Pttsburgh, as not to improperly i nterfere s with the business of this company, and that the Pennsyl vania Railroad shall always be open for' the business of this road, in either direc tion, on terms as favorable as those, roads in which she is pecuniarily interested. The report makes reference to the fail ure to make an arrangement with the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad Company, and the necessity imposed on the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad Company to construct a parallel road from Indianapolis to Terre Haute. IV wards the construction of this road the Directors have subscribed six thousand shares (at fifty dollars each,) to the capital stock, and the C. C. C. &B. road have subscribed a like amount. When completed, the line from Indianapolis to St. Louis (460 miles,) will pass under the management of the Indianapolis and St. Louis Railroad Company, of which this Company will be owner of one-half the share capital, and have an equal voice in the management. Reference is made to the progress of the Connellsville Railroad Company to wards completion to Cumberland, and to the extension of the . Allegheny Valley Railroad to the; Susquehanna valley, and the opinion is expressed that these lines will increase the business over the road. The report concludes by congratulating the stockholders upon the fact that har mony and good feeling exists in all de partments of the eompany's service, and that it fully exhibits itself in the result as set forth in the report. The report was unanimously adopted and ordered to be printed. W. S.
