It. CO-HPANY. Annual Meeting af tnt St oe Rh old r rs REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT. The annual meeting of the stockholders of { the Northeastern Railroad Company was held at the hali of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank, on Wednesday, 7th April, 18G9. A majority of the stock being respresented, the meeting was organized by calling the Hon. 6. W. Clark, Mayor, to the chair, and appoint? ing C. W .11 i man a ec re tar y. The reports of the Presiden: and Superin? tendent were then read. PRESIDENT'S REPO&T.

The doficioncy which will bo observed in our freights was partially anticipated and explained at your last meeting as a probable consequence of the extreme depression which was then : characterizing the agricultural interests of tho ' country through which our roid passes. It is .: also to be accounted for, in some measure, by the reductions of our tariffs, which were made during the year, in cha hope of extending and increasing our business. Their failure to do this can only bs ascribed to the absence of other elemente equally necessary to the re?u pn . ration of these interests, which it was neither . in oar power or province-to supply, and hence the, very limited requirements for the facilities '- we were prepared to extend. In a word, the country both contiguous to, and remote from, our line has not afforded os a business propor? tionate (o our capacities. The ovidence of this appears in tho fact .that during the past year we should have transoorted but 18,988 bales of cotton, as against 2C.691 bales the previous year, acd 60,401 bales m 1860. We are not, however, to suppose that this state of things is to become permanent, or that tho im? provement which is perceptible in other , sections of the State is not, eventually, . to be realized in those of whicb our road is the natural outlet. It may be grad? ual and even slower than elsewhere, bat al ready we are seeing some .gratifying evidences of a change for the better. So far as the local and through travel aro concerned, wo have fi ven ample accommodations to both, without eriving adequate returns from either. In view of the general prostration above ?dluded Jo, our local population could not 06 expected to move vTlt_ tuG urequency", t~- ill lt? numbers whicb it foi morly did. Experience showB that these depend less upon the single item of fare than upon an expansion of its wan t e with the means ol sat stying them, and meeting the in? cidental exponses connected with a departure from home. Until, therefore, our people be? come weilthier, these movements will necessa? rily be res tn ct ed to the more pressing demands of business. With this view, however, of en . eouraging them as far as possible, we have adopted the practice of issuing commutation tickets to all our way stations,' entitling their purchaser to a spocific amount, of transportation at one-half our regular rates. That our through travel should not bavo increased will occasion no surprise, in consequuece of the delayed re cons ruction, of the Savannah aud Charleston Road. The break which it has pres mt ed in tho otherwise continuous Atantic Coast Line of roads, extending from St. Marks. Fla., to Portland, Me., bas, unquestionably, turned from us, and from our city, a large proportion of tho travel constantly passing between these extremities. Our operating expjnses have been brought to that point beyond which they could not be further reduced, without detriment to the company's inte.'Otit, and tho serious deteriora? tion of its property. A rigid e xmomy should, of course, bo observed, but if carried to that extreme which provokes accident and loss of property, it would become unwiso and even criminal. A certain expenditure is unavoida? ble - thc roadway and rolling stock, non. bridges, calverts, &c, must all receive the same attention aud repair, whether or not our trains carty their full complement of freight, or one instead of ouo hundred passengers. It is true a more extended service would some? what swell our expenses, but tho ratio of our profits therefrcm would be greatly increased. From the foregoing revi6w ot our receipts and expenditure**, tho m terence would seem cor? rect, that they ha.*o tou -lied their lowest level, and if, tinco the close of the war, they have yielded a net income equal to the aunual interest of the company, on its various classes ot indebtedness, amounting to some $00,000. there ?B a reasonable certainty of their doing so in future. Tho prospect of a dividend is still remote, and so entirely dependent upon the general improve? ment of tho country, and esaecially tho con? struction of new h'.ics or feeders to extend the sphere of our operations, that any anticipa? tions wo mieht express upon this point would be too problematical to huvo any value. At present we can only deal with the facts and probabilities looking to that resal?. By the recent action of our Legislature, all tho ob? stacles to tho reconstruction of tho Savannah Boad have been removed, and we art- now as? sured of the determination of thc com any in charge of it to rcntoro, at tho earliest possible date, the valuable connections which it]for TJiJ raerlv afforded. To us the3e arc of vital inv port?noc; indeed, that road may bo regarded as au extension of thia. We have, also, the pleasure of stating lo voa the revival of the charter of tho South Carolina Central Railroad, mainly by tho citizens of Sumter and Claren? don, and untar which they propose lo con? struct a road about forty-flvo miles long, from Sumter, via Manning, to Gonrdin'a Station on this road. Thia will place Sumter within ninty fice miles of Charleston, as cow agiiust one hundred and thirty miles via Ringville, and one hundred and for ty-ono milos via Florence. As it will bring her nea-er to Charleston than to Wilmington by ji?y-one mUes, we may safely assume that nearly all ot' thc business ot that interior thriving towii and its surround? ing country will tben seek our market over this as "tbe shortest, quickest and cheapest route." Its courso through Clarendon will open to the producers of naval stores and lumber an extended and profitable field of labor, and bo tho means of bringiug into active cultivation manv valuable, but n >w neglected plantations. Our presout financial condition is not, perhaps, one to warrant our assisting this enteryriso to thc exteut which it desorves, but we should certaiuly afford it all th? aid and encourage? ment in our power. In passing, wo would warmly commend it tu tho attention of our merchants. Wo have also to notice an increas inc intcTfBt in tho construction of the Ch-Taw and Salisbury Road, especially among influen? tial parties in North Carolina, which, it is boped, will result in some active measures for its construction. Tho statements of thc treasurer, herewith submitted, will show that there remaiued at the credit of Prc St and loss account at the close of the past year.S 10,409 14 Since which it bas been fm thor credited frith proceeds of transportation for 1868 and 1869. 103,725 30 $119,134 44 And charged with interest on bonded -rbtand current in? terest.$93,605 T8 Loss of stock- in Society Hill and Marlboro' Bridge Com? pany. 2,337 55 Rignt of way, previously unset? tled. 1,011 00-97.014 33 Leaving a balance at oredit of profit an J loss.$ 22,120 ll The following will appear as the indebted? ness on the 28tb of February, 1869 : 1400 first mortgage bond*, of $500 each, due september 1,1869.$ 700,000 00 290 second mortgage bonds, or $500 each, due September 1, 1868. 145,000 00 3100 shares preferred stock, $50. 155,000 00 Certificates of indebtedness (for interest prior to March 1st, 1867]. 107.765 14 Outstanding interest to lat yarea, 1867. 111,622 31 Outstanding interest, due ia cash. 6 98a 30 Real estate bond?.-. 28,000 00 BUls payable. 23,560 GC Profit and loss.. 22,120 11 Stockholders. 398,950 00 $2,193,007 62 To meet this indebtedness, wo have the road tl02 miles long;, with its side. ingsjHequipments, Ac, at a cost ot. $2,148,130 65 And a:sets. 49,876 87 Total.$2,198,007 62 The amount of second mortgage bonds, ori? ginally issued, was $300,000-ot which $145,000 were sold-tho remaining $155,000 were subse? quently pledged and deposited with trustees, as a security for a corresponding amount of preferred stock, say $155,000. This preferred stock is then, virtually, a substitute for tbat amount of second mortgage bonds. AB stated above, the company's first mort? gage bonds, amounting to $700,000, mature on the 1st of September, 1869. while the second mortgage bonds for $300,000 are post duo, having matured on the 1st September, 1868. Of tbo conponi representing the interest on the first, and unpaid up to March 1st, 1867, there are still outstanding about $92,000, and of tboso representing the interest on the sec? ond, and in the same position, there remain abont $22,000. These, with our past due bonds, are now held by comparatively few parties, who have submit ted to a delay in their seulement, until they could bo embraced in the genera plan of tho company for the readjustment of their entire debt, to tako effect iu September next. Wc aro also indebted in a balance of $28,000 on certain bonds for re il estate in Ibo oily, purchased in 1853, and duly secured by a mortgage thereon. Tho liquidation of thia balance, within a reasons bio peri od, was confidently expected, but the financial condition of the company at that time did not permit it, and hence the mort? gage upon this small moiety of thoir property remains, and is. cf cours'1, antecadonb to those executed in 1853 and 1857 foi tho security re? spectively of their First and ?Second Mortgage Bonds. In the readjustment of our debt it would therefore be inexpedient and proper to consider these real estate bunda as among our Stat mortgage bonds, and to be absorbed by them, that tbe special mortgage thereon may be duly cancelled. We would, then, propose to rou tb corsohdite and renew this whole ndebtednes by tho issuo of 1640 bondi, ot $500 ;ach, amounting to $820,000, to oe dated 1st September, 1869, and payable 1st Sootember, 1899, bearing 7 per cent, interest, payable aemi innually, by coupons attached, to bo Btvlod 'First Preferred Bondi," and by another issue >f 644 bonds, of the same date, tenor and imount each, aa the first, for $322 000, to be ityled "8econd Preferred Bonds," both to be secured bj one General Mortgago upon the en ne property,- rights, franchises, Ac., of the ;ompanyv only expressing the order, and do ining the conditions of these pre ton nc os, and heir relations to each other.

A recourse to ?gal measures of a coorcive character would CB ult in no actual benefit, especially while the dministration of the road is, practically, for tie benefit of the bondholder. If it bo con? fided that all the income is hoing de? lved from tho property which it ia c?pa? le of producing, aud that no part thereof ; being appropriated by the stockholder, nt on the contrary, is being faithfully pplied to bis obligations to tho bondholder, ?ion a reasonable regard on tho part o? Jhe itter for tho interests ot tho former, should uggest a prompt acquiescence iu the plan wo lave here indicated. Its details have had our areful attention, and as theso have also been pproved by eminent legal counsel, it is now ubniitted for 3'our cousidcr ition in tho boli .f hat it will fully meet all tho objects in view, nd prove acceptable to our creditors. It affords us pleasure to state io you the gen rally good condition of the road and its strm1 urea. During the past year considerable att? ention bas been given to the widening of cuts nd embankments, and tho improved drainage f the roadbed. The iron is in very fair con ition, indeed, we may say that thcro are few f any bars in the track sufficiently worn or unmated to require removal. The motivo ?ower, consisting of twelve locomotives, is all with the exception of one) m running order. Ve have 67 box and 43 platform cars. 12 first nd second-class passenger cars 3 batrgtse nd 2 mail and express cars. Though much f this rolling stock is of au advanced agc, uch attention hos boen given to. it that we biuk it will answer our purposed another year, rubout further expenditure than are ordiuari v classed under .'current repairs."
