fCOKTEfTJED FROM FIB3T PAC Monday night; yet the meeting w vote that what could scarcely be di days should bo done in five and t agreed with the mover of the r?solu waa extremely inconvenient not to reports in advance of tho meeting; b he was in the directory, and had ac accounts, he himself had not econ tl form ia which they were prosoiite day. The directors would bo ve; stockholders could be enabled to opinions concerning the managen] road from reports published prior tc ins; but it was, under preseut arra simply impossiblo for this to be dom Mr. Gavin proposed to make the : of the company close ou November 9 of December 31. Mr. Magrath said that to show th tion of the officers of the road in th he would suggest that the time of hi annual meeting should be changed second Tuesday in February to ? Tuesday in March. This, however, would necessitate a chango in the by the sections regulating auoh change.' by the Secretary. The Chair thou stated that a i changing the by-laws could not be ac th j ? meeting, no previous notice hav given. The question was then taken on th to lay the resolution on the table, w decided in the affirmative. The fifth resolution was read as foll Bf solved, That the names, duties ai ies of all officers, superintendents, tendente of work-shops, and foremen shops, agents of transportation, tin taut officers, clerks of bureaus, be ant ported to the stockholders by the Pre The resolution was agreed to. Mr? Alston then offered tho f?llowin tions, which he requested should be to the committee already appointed : Resolved, That in the opinion of th in g rieid economy should oe observed management of the road; that in vic impoverished condition of the country prospective climinution of the budines road? ia comparing with the former bin the road, it is but reasonable and pro] the salaries of officers, agents and em should be greatly reduced, and their i diminished according to tho actual ex of a well managed road. Resolved, That the salary of the P shall not exceed thirty-five hundred that the salary of the Superintendent s exceed two thousand dollars; that the bo but one supervisor-instead of three ?with a salary of fifteen hundred dolla the salaries of the several agents ai ( ton, Columbia and Augusta, shall be i to one tuousand dollars each; and tba assistant agents (or servants) and ai clerks shall DO diminished. Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm said: There it the by-laws of this company, adopte great deliberation, which provides that rectors sholl appoint all officers and age quired for the service ot the company, i fines the manner in which applications t pointments shall be made. According by-law this trust has been imposed up President and Directors of the South C Railroad Company, and I stand here to < that they have conscientiously, and to tl of their ability, fulfilled the task devolve them. I would have no objection to tin lotion if it were couohed in general tern when it makes a specific proposition to i the salary of the President of this comp am obliged to urge my objections, and the reasons why I do so. lt bas been said by a gentleman on my that the most moderate salary-a corni tion simply sufficient to provide for the i aary wants of life, will command the best in the country. Sir, there never was a gi mistake. Talent and the experience nece ia manage the affairs of a railroad cou are not to be procured for a mere pitt When our lamented fellow-citizen, Mr. Co entered upon the presidency of this roai salary in specie was $10,000. When Mr. well was called to the chair, his salar $7000. While, at the present time, when s is at forty per cent, premium, the salary ie $6000. The salary of the President of the ( gia Central road is $10,000; of the Georgia $7000; and how does the business, and ho the duties of the President of the Gee road com pare'wit h" those of the President oi South Carolina Railroad ? Here you have t branches-one to Augusta, another to Colun a third to Camden. Tou have a complic machine to manage; and the position is which requires at the bead of affairs a ma large experience and ability, and one who a thorough personal knowledge of all the tereeta involved. Why, sir ' yon are snffei now, not from rivalry but from hostility the part of other roads. Scarcely a day pai in which the President of this company is obliged to make now combinations, to arra through rates, to change prices of freight determine the question of transportation, secure ti ade, to provide increased facilities s passenger - travel; all of which imposes u; bim th o duty, continually of making new i eolations and arrangements, for the purposi protecting the vast interests which he hu charge. Do you tell me that you can gc man to fulfil these duties for the mere coal * living? Why, sir I every gentleman he when he comes to reflect upon the subj? will iee that it is impossible. - I ana not speaking from motives of friei ship, though I do appreciate most warmly 1 present incombent of the office-not from n tives of partiality, but I ask you, if this oft should be made vaoant to-morrow, where v you look for a more able and accompli3h soocesoor ? For five and twenty years I have be one of the directors of this company, and know, ftom intimacy with the several genti men who have been at its head during that p riod, that it is a most difficult, complicated ai arduous duty to manage its affairs; and I ha' the utmost confidence that when this moetii approaches tho consideration of the repo: now upon the table; when that report is cxan ined in all of its details, and the business of tl road is compared with the results of provioi years;-when the stockholders como, like fa minded men as they are, to consider the coi ' dition of the company on the 19th Juno, 186 when it came into the possession of the Dire? tors, and see what they had to accomplish an what they have accomplished;-rememberiu what is the value of money, the difficulty c obtaining credit, the impossibility of effectin; loans;-when you find that they have rebuil your road, rehabilitated it, given it credit, an? are in a fair way to restore it to its lormc. prosperity;-I do not think there is any gen tlemaa present who will sustain a resolution o that character, which seems to mo to bo r sweeping denunciation of tho managers ol jyar road, impaling to them a low order oj ability, which, in my opinion, is neither righi nor just. . ' Mr. Alston disclaimed having intended any snob reflection upon the character or ability ol any of the officers of the company. Mr. Trenholm-1 think, when it is seen that in consequence of the competition to which I have referred, and of our reduced rates of transportation, that this company has perform? ed Beventy per cent, more of traffic daring the past year than during the preoeding; that they have carried one hundred and twenty-thou? sand tons of freight this year, against seventy thousand tons of freight last year; that they received no more money for the one hundred and twenty thousand tons than for the seventy thousand tons; that in the transportation re* suiting from this extraordinary augmentation I of trade, and in running twelve" thousand miles moro this year thau tho last, we havo uot in? creased the por contago of expensos; when it is known that thc salaries of nearly all the cm ploycos havo been rcJucod ten per cent,, and that it is now in contemplation to reduce-them still further, I think that the body of stock? holders wdl bo satisfied that theil- interests have beon ably protected, and will be per? suaded that thore has been an exhibition of zeal aud intelligence in the direction of the af? fairs of the road; and I do not think it wise that, after this matter of. appointment has beon deliberately confided to the judgment of the directors, it uhould, be taken fron:> their control by a mere resolution. Colonel Wallacs hopad that the resolution would be referred to the committee. In regard to salaries ho said that ho had been informed that General Gadsden received only $3500, and thal tho salary was raised only for the purpose of inducing Mr. Conner, who was getting ?7000, to accept tho Presidency of tho road. Me did not know what would bo a proper sala? ry undor thc cacumstancee, but, if tho present salary was too ?reit, ho would certainly vote for a reduction. Mr. Alston said that tho gentleman was un foit?nate ?n selocting Mr. Conner to illustrate hid position, and would ask if his administra? tion was more effective than that of General Uadsden or Mr. Caldwell. He thought that $3500 was high enough, but did not intend to cast any reflection upon the present officers of [ the company. Mr. Trenholm said that at the time that Mr. j Conner was elected President the price of stock was $65, when he resigned it was $125 per share. This he thought was a sufficient commentary upon the criticism of tho gentleman. Mr. G. S. Cameron rose to a point of order that it had already boon moved to refer the resolution to a committee, yet this wt.s a dis? cussion ot the merits of the question. The Chair sustained the point made, and the question then being taken, the motion to refer was agroed to. On motion of Mr. B. O'Neill, tho meeting then adjourned until this morning at ll o'clock. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.-Tho London journals appear to think that this expedition is going to ma e a fearful addition to the bur? then already imposed upon the English tax? payers, and that some grave and costly mis? takes havo been made by those who planned ihe material and method thereof. The panorama presented m Annesley Bay was very impressive, no doubt, but unpleasant? ly suggestive of exponse. Forty transports lay at anchor, and thirty-seven more, with the Bengal Brigade on board, were expected daily. At the beginning of tho new year thj loree ac? tually disembarked and distributed between Annesley Bay and S?uafo amounted to about six thousand men, of whom oue-tbird were Eu? ropeans. For the use of this little army there were 7191 baggage animals-mules, camels, ponies or bullocks-with 2365 drivers, not as many as were wanted. The loss of cattle for want of water waa great. - The oharge of the ohieiB for "servicos" were exorbitant. They undertake to carry rice from the coast to the camp; but for this transport they charge so much that tho cost of the grain is actually doubled by the expense of carriage. The army will have to bo ted from the coast, because bad weather, locusts and civil war have, des i roy ed the crops of the coun? try. Tho Times thinks that "no materially overrated the difibulty of the enterprise, though, as wo had httle or no information to guide us, tho miscalculation is not surprising. The Koomaylee Poss, to begin with, is said to havo been unknown uutil ouradvanced guard and pioneer a discovered it. Mu traveller has ever made his way to Abyssinia by that route, though it, is far more practicable than uny other. It was reasonable, again, to'suspect the climate and the natives and the chiefs, and to make preparations against hostilities all the way iroirr Annesley Bay bo-Magdala. It turp^ cut that money will do all we want, and that, un? less some unfarseen.diffiQuities have yet to be encountered, we might, according to present presumption, march upon Magdala as Boon as we please, wituout the necessity of striking a I blow." " . . j That paper admits the following to bo the proper summing up as to thc expedition: . " What we have actually found in Abyssinia I is a country which, compared with some of the regions of Northeastern and Northwestern In? dia, is pcrfectabio practicable, a population whose services as well as good will can be bought for money, and an enemy in BUCII straits that lt is a chanc? if we ever meet with him at ali;", -The Now York correspondent of tho Phila? delphia Lodger Boys : "The newest pohtical rumor afloat nore is that arrangements are on foot for a third party, to bo composed of tho Conservative Republicans who wero turned out of the Republican State Convention and such of the Conservative Democracy as may choose to come in. Hon. Henry J. Raymond, Thurlow Weed, and other veterans of tho samo school, are said to be engineering the movement. A manifesto, Betting forth their plana and prin? ciples, will make its appear ince m the course of a few days. It is said, furthermore, that this new movement is intended not to operare against General Grant, but rather to render his election all the more sure by securing for him the State of New, York, which gave at tho last election between firty and fifty th> *t?and ma? jority against the Radicals."
