has been worked during a greater portion of the
seventeen months; and it gives promise to the
stockholders that when their Road itern perfeot
order throughout, unembarrassed with financial
difficulties, and the business reaofies a magnitude
commensurate with the geographical position and
commanding importance of the line, it can be
worked more cheaply than any similar road in
this country. The light grades, easy curvature,
extent of straight line (or length of tangent,)
and low, price of fuel, are the main elements
which will contribute to this result. The oir
ciumetances adverse to a low cost in the working
expenses of the road fer the past seventeen
months, may be stated to be : Ist. In the im
perfect'constriection of the engines and cars re
ceived from the old companies, requiring a large
expenditure for repairs to render them effective
for use, the octet of which appears in the item,
- "Repairs of Machinery and Work done' iu
Shops." 2d. Iu the very imperfect-condition of
the track between Bucyrus and Fort Wayne, a
distance of 119 miles, causiug a very heavy wear
and tear in the machinery, cars and track, the
cost of which is found in the items of Repairs
of Machinery, &c.," "Maintenance of Way,"
Ste." Bd. From the date of consolidation until
December last, the transportation department
were without repair shops, or houses west of
Crestline to protect the engines, except of the
most temporary analinsufficient character. Here,
then, were one hundred and ninety-six miles of
road to operat, through a most severe winter,
without the most essential of ell appendages for
eperating a road with economy, viz: repair
shops, and covering for the engines. 4th. This
road, constituting a link in one of the four great
east and west lines, had to adapt the running of
its trains and the amount of service to a
condition of things created by the competition
of these 'lines, iu order to maintain its present
plane, and secure for iteelf in the future, au in
dependent, if not a eentrolllog position. The
amount of service, or 'mileage of trains, required
to enable the company to meet this obligation,
was too great in proportion to the receipts for r.
low working expense. The receipts were about
$4,5 - 00 per mile per annum, whereas the receipts
should hate been about $6,000 per mile per an
Dlltrli to give a low working expense compared
with the gross earnings. sth. The company was
largely, in arrears to all claesce of employees,
and paid with great irregularity, which con
tributed to increase the cost of working the road;
for men poorly paid ; rive a like return in .9er.
'vice. Commencing with this year, the Board
have made an inflexible rule that all labor,
service and supplies, shall be promptly paid in
cash, and the fruits of this most salutary rule
Will be found in a diminished expense for the
current year.
By reference to the to nme Account, on page
26 of Auditor's Report, till net earnings of the
road in use are shown to be $308,385 41—or
about 6 per cent. on the capital.. It should be
particularly borne in mind to a tigt understand
ing of this Income Account, that an expenditure
of not less than $1,600,000 .had been made on
portions of the road wholly unproductive, and
that the finished portion of the road bad to pay
out of its earning the interest on this expendi
ture—which expenditure was made east of Fed
eral street, Allegheny city, and west of Colum
bia, Indiana. The amount paid is found charged
to interest on bonds, and on floating debt. For
the seventeen months, at seven per cent. per
antrum, the HMI paid for interest would be $158,-
666 66, which adde I to the net earnings of the
road, as stated above, between Allegheny city
and Plymouth, makes the actual earnings $467,-
052 07, or about seven and one half per cent.
on the paid up capital stook
So long as the non-prod - twelve capital invested
is not considered lost, or such, this mode of
stating the net earnings is legitimate, and
Le so regarded by all intelligent business men.
The brat and most interesting question to
stockholders, after being assured that their in
vestment• is not lost, is, when shall we receive
dividends ? , Two facts assumed, the question
may be answered without hesitation : First—lf
the road be finished into Chicago in September;
and Second, if the floating debt be funded into
Constructien bonds, or be paid by the proceeds
of sale of these• bonds, the company can com
mence paying diii'deuds in January, 1861. The
Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
in their last Annual Report, fix the limit of the
unfunded debt of that company, for the future,
at three per cent. on the capital stook paid. If
this be a safe limit, (and 7e incline to that opin
ion,) the business of railways must be disastrous
indeed, if this company cannot begin to make
'eturn to its shareholders in January, 1861.
It Id now about seven years since the track en
the eastern end of this Hue was laid down, and
five years since the entire track between Pitts
burgh and Crestline (188 miles) was completed
sad brought into use a time sufficiently long to
cause the decay of a large number of cross-ties,
and to render very short the period of duratioh
of the remainder. The rails, too, are becoming
mulch worn, ant need extensive repairs. Fortu
nately, however, it is believed that the quality of
rails used on the whole length of your road is
much above the average quality of rails on west
ern roads.
The cost of renewal of iron and ties ;luring
the past seventeen months, constitutes a large
;tem of expense in the Superintendent's depart
ment.
In dry seasons, serious inconvenience has been
qxperieueed in working the road between Pitts
burgh and Fort Wayne, by reason of the inade
quate supply of water. This has been to a great
extent remedied by sinking new wells and deep
ening and enlarging old ones—and as appurte
nant thereto,
a number of new wood sheds have
been erectedand old ones enlarged. A further
expenditure is yet required for these objects,
especially between Crestline and Fort Wayne.
Last fall the convene purchased the machine
and car shops at Fort Wayne of Messrs. Jones,
Bass and Company; on very favorable terms as
to - the price and mode of payment. By alieht
alterations and extension, and the erection of an
additional engine house sufficient to hold flour
teen engines, the company was put in possession,
iu a very short time, of machine shops, tools and
engine houses, sufficient for the present business
ci the road. ,
During the past year the business of the Cleve
land and Pittsburgh Railroad, between Allegheny
City and Rochester, was carried over your road
in the cars of that company under a special con
tract, limited to one year's duration. On the
25th of January last a new contract was entered
into with that company for two years, by which
they are to have the use, for their machinery and
cars, of the road, and sidings to the main track,
and water, to.the extent of their business, be•
tween Rochester.and Pittsburgh. For this priv
ilege they are to pay this company $66,000 a
year, iu monthly installments, and pay half the
expense of keeping in repair the portion of the
property used by them,
The Dayton and Michigan Railroad Company
r.is just completed its track from Dayton to con
nect with your road at Lima, and will, by theist
of April, be running the passenger and freight
;Leine in close connection with the trains of this
eam.i. This opens 'a very direct route between
ta l icago and Cincinnati, and will, doubtless, eon
tribute largely to the business of this company
From that direction, besides bringing to this road
, ;_he business of the fertile, highly improved, cad
thickly populated valley of the Great Miami,
destined for the eastern markets.
Of the interest falling due on the let of Oeto•
ber last, only about $25,000 had been remitted
to New York at the time of suspension of specie
payments by the banks" of Pittsburgh. The_
Treasurer had , in bank, on the let of October,
sufficient funds to meet the coupons which would
have been presented in the first few days of that
mouth, but was unable to remit from inability to
ceuvert his funds into New York exchange. This
nocarrent money was at once paid out on trans
eartation expenses and accounts payable along
_he line of the road.
From this date the business of the road rapidly
iiiihinished, and with the universal panic, causing
all the creditors of the company to demand pay
ment in full as fast as their obligations matured,
fumed the company in November to suspend
i,ayment ou its floating debt. As you have al
ready seen, the far greater portion (seventy-five
per cert.) of this floating debt existed at the
date of consolidation ' and was only added to by
your Board for expenditures to accomplish ends
that could not be postponed. The road had to
be finished into the city of Pittsburgh—it had
to be completed and brought into use to Plymouth
• -money could not be earned with a track with
cut machinery agd care, or could machinery
God care earn money by being run over a track
in bad condition—and these are the objects for
which your mouey has been expended, and which
has swelled your floating debt about $500,000.
A large amount of money has undoubtedly been
expended in the past seventeen months, but a
fatrequivalent has been obtained for every dol
lar expanded; and the equivalent _obtained is
tangible and appreciable. There is no necessity
for any great research or elaborate theorizing to
ascertain the cause or foundation of the compa
ny's finanial embarrass= .t. It dates back to
the commencement of the enterprise, and has
hung ae an incubus upon the management from
the day of organization of the old companies to
the present moment. ft is insufficient capital.
To enable the company to complete its road
n I extricate itself from its financial difficulties,
y :or Directors have asked the holders of bonds
issued by the Ohio and Pennsylvania, Ohio and
. Indiana, and Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad
lirnpanies, to fund coupons, falling dun as fol

For these coupon 3, it is proposed to issue bonds

with interest at ten per cent per annum, payable
semi-annually. For convenience of exeii ngiug
them for th coupons to trd tuutiod. the
convenience ot converting thrum into the Con
atruction bonds, (as they will have the option of
doing at eighty four per cent) the bonds will be
of the denomination of slob and $525. The
holders of the coupons are not to surrender them
to the company on receiving bonds in payment,
but to Mr. John Ferguson, of New York, to whom
a deed of trust will be executed, pledging the in•
come of the road for the payment of• the prin
cipal and interest of these bonds, and creating a
sinking fund for their redemption. The trust
deed will provide, that in ease of nou-payment
of the coupons of the new bonds as due, and the
monthly sinking fund, for thirty days, it shall be
the duty of the company to render to the Trustee
weekly statements of the gross recipte and trans
portation expenses of the company,. and 3 upon
requisition from him, make such conveyance or
transfer as may be necessary to put him in pos
session of the net income of the road, until the
interest and principal of the bonds arc paid.
The terms here offered to the bond holders are
intended to be made attractive to them, as they
have the first lien upon the Road and its income.
And so far as the bond holders have been heard
from, we are encouraged to hope they will ac
cept the proposition for funding their coupons.
With a liability of $668,955 accruing within the
neat twelve months postponed through five
years; with forbearance upon the part of the
holders of the floating debt, whose only security
is in the value of the Construction bonds ; with
oo•oporation upon the . part of the stockholders,
whose main, if not only reliance, is upon the
early completion of the road to Chicago ; and
with energetic management by the officers, under
prudent counsel of the Board of Managers—
within one year from this date the affairs of the
Company may be placed upon a secure founda
tion, and a greatly increased and permanent
value given to the shares of the company.
In the numerous documents herewith submit
ted, the Directors have endeavored to embody all
the information necessary to enable each share
holder to understand the condition and to esti
mate the value of his property.
I is to be regretted that shareholders in rail
road companies are generally too inattentive or
negligent of the manner in which the business of
their roads is conducted. Nothing can _more
conduce to a faithful and profitable management
of a railroad than a full attendience of all its
owners, and an active and intelligent participa
tion in the proceedings at all their stated meet
inv. For however complimentary the Directors
may esteem it to be intrusted with such weighty
responsibilities and such large discretionary
powers, they would earnestly solicit the advice
and counsel of those who are equally interested
with themselves In the successful management
of the trust cemmhted to them, as, in some mea
sure, relieving them from the heavy harden. of
responsibility which the trust imposes.
With a view to incite a more vigilant attentitm
of the shareholders to the management of the
business of their road, the Directors have su
amended their By•Labws as to provide for two
meetings of shareholders in each year.
Iu addition to the full report of all the past
transact ions of the company and explicit accounts
of its earnings and expenditures, to be submitt
ed to the shareholders at each of their meetings,
provision is also made for submitting statements
of any futura new undertakings or engagements
involving large expenditures or liabilities which
the Directors may believe will be beneficial to
the company, for the purpose of obtaining the
ouusel and instructions of the shareholders
Thu DireotorB are of opinion that an examina
tiou of Bail Road books and accounts, by an Es
atnining
_Committee independent of, the (ffieete
of the company, would be salutary and More -sat
isfactory to the shareholders, as well as tend to
their better security. They have accordingly
provided, in their amended By-Laws, for the ap
pointment by the shareholders of an Esabaning
Committee for this purpose.
Provisions for these several objects are made in
Articles 4,6, 6, and 7, of the By-Laws, which
are herewith submitted. And the Directors esk
for them the special attention of the sharehold
ers and if approved, their co-operation in carry
ing them into practical effect.
The duties and responsibilities devolve upon
the Superintendent and the Auditor, sperially
the latter, have been very great, in organizing
their respective departments. The Board take
great pleasure in stating that these officers have
been, with great faithfulness and intelligence,
discharged the duties assigned them, and that
the officers of the Company generally have ac
quitted themselves in a manner creditable to
themselves and satisfactory to your Board.
By order of the Board of. Directors.

manner in which the details of the business of
the road are conducted, and a general exhibit,
showing in a condensed form the state of the
Company's finances at the close of the year.—
The report covers the first seventeen , months
of the consolidation,. ending on Dec. 31st.
Statistical tables are appended to the Audi

City Hall was crowded on Thursday evening, the
large audience having been attracted by the an
nouncement of the grand concert of Vieuxtemps and
Thalhorg. The hall must have contained sixteen
hundred persons—w deuhtsdly the largest and most
fashionable audienos tno Bef,re the con
cert commenced it was e.i.liauiiced that M. Ernst
Pe-ring, the tenor singer. much indisposed as
to be unable to cuabo al.pearaoce. His parts in
the programme wire filled by additional songs from
Miss Kemp and Mlle Ceire li.
Thalberg performed Lis pieces in his usual style,
and has, if possible; improved since we last had the
pleasure of bearing him. Thursday night, when he
took his seat at the piano, every ear was strained to
catch the first faint notes which broke the silence,
and when the notes began to fall thick and fast, the
audience because, as it were, entranced, and the per
former, the audience, everything, was forgotten, save
the magical melody poured forth from the instrument.
The et 'le of 'Tbalberg's playing is different from that
of most of the other great masters, Leopold de Meyer,
Henri Hertz, Gottschalk and Wallace. His forte i
yet in the almost terrific notes of the former, or in
the soft, dreamy strains of the latter, but in the fin..
ished, brilliant, perfect execution of everything ho
attempts. His calm and dignified manner is the in.
variable accompaniment of conscious power, spring
ing from a well-balanced intellect. His style of play..
ing is simple and straight-forward, yet so wonderful
that it is felt and appreciated by all.
D. is difficult- to describe the playing of Vieux..
temps. It was certainly one of the most astonishing
performances we have ever heard on the violin.
Where every piece was so admirably performed, it is
diffient to say which was best. The " Witches'
Dance," from Paganinl, was superb, while the varla
dens on " Willie, we have Missed You" and "St.
Patrick's Day " were received by the audience with
enthusiastic applause.
Md'lle Cairoli has a fine voice, and her execution
is fine, especially in the higher notes. Miss Kemp,
we must confess, disappointed us; th- only piece
really well sung was " The Dearest Spot." Her
" Coming thro' the Rye " wo have often heard ox
celled. Altogether, the concert coos a success, and
the audience retired well pleased.

examination of the deeds of trust from the mortgage

this emergency, we learn that die' board have adopted
the only possible means to obviate the difficulty. A
nunaber of our public spiritedl citizens have nobly
come forward and subscribed th unable the board to

iJeeeent as a Cock-Pit.—For some time past a
cock-pit has been in operation on Irwin street, kept
by a man named Hugh Gallagher. It has been open
during the whole winter, and two or three times a
week persons have been assembling there, with their
birds, and large amounts of money have been lost.
The Mayor has had hie eye un it for some time, and
last night about ten o'clock he assembled a posse of
police, and made a descent upon the house. Ou
making all entrance, about forty persons were found
atoned the pit; several

enough to save them--they were captured. Tho
whole party, with the exception of Gallagher, the
proprietor of the pit, was arrested and taken to the
Mayor's office, where they were lined $3 each and

EIOIISE OH' REPRaENTITIVES
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, presented a resolution,
which was adopted, instructing the Committee on
Public Lands to inquire whetlier the main, trunk of
the Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad was cumilleled l
and 'Whetheil'irintorseets—WWttio
formity with the law granting lands in lowa for rail
road purposes, and that the committee report such
action as may be deemed properin the premises.
A number of private bills were reported from the
various committees.
A sharp argument occurred in the committee, be
tween Mr. Smith, of Virginia, and Mr. Davis, of In
diana, on the Kansas question, in which Mr. Smith
said that Mr. Douglas had got up the measure to 813. ,
cure his ro•election to ttio Senate, and was connected
with a movement of Democrats in Illinois for this
purpose.
Mr. Marshall, of Illinois, pronounced the charge
wholly unfounded.
Mr. Smith replied that the successor of, Mr. Rioh•
ardson had told him and others, without reserve, that
some of the Illinois delegation, after consultation,
came to the conclusion that this was the only chance
to elect Mr. Douglas to the United States Senate.
Mr. Marshall did not believe that any such con
ference wag held, and repeated that the statement was
entirely unfounded.
Mr. Cox said it did not become Mr. Smith, who
had turned tail on the Democratic) party, and was
elected to Congress by American votes, to make ex
traordinary attacks on Democratic members.
Much confusion ensued, amid whioh Mr. Clay
moved that the committee rise. -
The Chairman said that Mr. Cox could proceed
only by unanimous consent.
Mr. Clemens objected.
Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, was unwilling to
force upon the people of Kansas a Constitution they
detest, and which was consummated through syste
matic fraud and violence. The one man power has
grown to such dimensions as to threaten the liberties
of the country. The framers of the Federal Consti
tution never supposed that such petty tyranny would
have here existed as to require the surrender of pri
vate judgment and to take the executive will as the
infallible test of truth. But demoralizing as is the
distribution of patronage, it cannot control public
opinion, and the people will administer a rebuke to
the insolence of executive usurpation, and those who
sustain r.
