F-.tb.ei Quinn denounced the ?cheme, from St. Peter'f pulpit, in very severe terms, on Sunday morn? ing last, and the Tablet of to-day, speaking for the Catholics of this city, gives notioe that .no railroad company will ever be permitted to destroy that temple, be the consequences what they may.

The bird in its endeavors, -1 at first to carry off and then to free itself from its intended prey, soon exhausted ?B strength, and its efforts becoming gradually weaker from exhaustion, the would-be captor became the captured, was dragged screaming beneath the water, and its death notes - chokod by the c rippling waves as they closed over it." * -The New York Central freight car thieves had been carrying on operations for more than a year. They used to enter the cars at Utica by means of the ladders leading down to the side of the door 8. The doors are not locked, bat are sealed with nome kind of & leaden sub? stance. This the burglars would tear off with . - a nippers carried for the purpose. Once in the cars, business was immediately com - meneed. If the goods were not of a desirable . kind, they would jump off and got on the next freight train. The gcods were generally ac lected before a station was ' reached. Aa tho train slacked, the thieves would throw thc goods, previously stuffed into bags, from thc carn and then jump off, and under thc cover of darkness obtain them again and put them ic a .- safe place. One night the rascals did not make their eelection until the tunnel was reached. Here they threw theil bags out, and then came into Syracuse and warmed themselves and returned for their goods. On one occasion they hid large quantities of goods in the woods Dear Oneida, and then made two trips lo that place to secure them. Large quantities of goods have been thrown away because the thieves were ignorant of their value. The amount of the depredations will reach two hundred thousand dollars. -A Washington letter to the Baltimore Ga? zette says : "The fearful depravity manifested in official circles here far exceeds anything ? ever before known, and it has become so open and palpable that leading Radicals are ex? pressing .great disgust. In a conversation last evening a Radical editor who, in the bet? ter days of the Republic, had been a promi? nent Democrat, declared that no government on earth could long continue under the corrup- i tion as now openly practiced here in high i quarters, and his honest belief was that the , only salvation for this country was to reinstate the old Democratic party. His brother, also a Badleal convert from the Democracy, exclaim- 1 od, 'Treason, treason.' 'Yon may call it what ( you please,' said the first speakor, 'but no one knows better ihan yourself the truth of whit I say.' General Sickles, who was present during tho conversation, remarked, 'I dou't know about reinstating the Democracy, but I do know I leave hero this evening thoroughly digusted at what I have witnessed.' During the conversation it was slated to bi a fact that a brother-in-law to President Grant was regu? larly engaged in selling, and at high prices too, his letters of recommendation for office. In a word, thc Fcd6ial Capital is now regarded by all parties here as a vast gambling hell, in which the public offices are played for, won and lost as coins of gold and silver would bo at Baden-Baden." CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 20. 1869. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company. The annual report of the operations ef the Greenville and Colombia Railroad Company for theyear ending December 31,18G8, shows that the gross earnings from all sources were $345,543, from which are deducted $196, 231 for current or ordinary expenses and $20,000 for rebuilding and improving loco? motives and cars, rebuilding trestles and bridges, and for the permanent improve? ment of the road, not properly included in the working expenses, leaving a net income of $129,312. This net income was applied to the payment of accounts chargeable to maintenance of way and conducting trans? portation prior to 1868, and to the reduc? tion of bills payable. All the pay rolls for 1868 have been paid, and the materials used in that year paid for. The earnings for the past year were greater than the earnings of any prevous year except 1859 and 1860 and the three last years of the war. The number of pas? sengers carried in 1868 was 45,214 or 13,013 more than in 1867, and the number of bales of ootton 45,111 or 10,82$ bales more than in 1867. These results, President Ham? mett says, "must be gratifying to all inter "ested in the prosperity of the road and "the country through which it passes, and "dearly demonstrate that the road has "passed through its greatest trials and "difficulties, and can in the future sustain "and protect itself." It is expected that the earnings for the present year will be largely in excess of the earnings of 1868. For the quarter* ending March 31, 1869, the gross earnings were $120,677, or $16,905 more than the earn? ings of the corresponding months of 186S No less than 6000 tons of guano and other fertilizers were sent up the road in the same period, and, notwithstanding the large increase, "all freights have been "promptly forwarded to their several points "of destination. A through arrangement "made with the South Carolina Railroad "Company, by which freights, both up and "down, are sent through without breaking "bulk in Columbia, has also facilitated the "transportation of freights to a very con? siderable extent." The increased business looked for during the year will make necessary an addition to the rolling stock; but this is expected to be obtained by repairing and rebuilding old locomotives, and by building new freight cars, all which can be done without a large additional expense exoept for material, some of which is on hand. Sinoe January last 250 tons of new rail have been pur? chased and paid for, and are now being laid iown; and it is believed that much of the worn iron may be replaoed in a few years "without reducing the net inoome below a "point which will be necessary to meet all "expenses and pay all the interest on the "bonded debt, when readjusted, promptly "as it matures." Daring 1868, 65,262 cross ties were pat into the road, inoluding 8947 for the Blue Ridge Road. This road is still worked by the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, the business of the former line between Anderson and Walhalla laving almost doubled since the beginning >f the lease. This, says President Ham? net, "is same slight indication of what may "be expected when the entire line is com? pleted to Knoxville; an event which we "should look anxiously forward to, and "which we have reason to believe will be "accomplished in a very few years, or as soon "as it can be done in the ordinary course "of railroad construction." A condensed statement of the history of .he road and its present condition, gives the following as the total cost : L644 miles of road, with branches, outfit, real estate, shops and out? fit.$3,081,213 ?tock of other companies. 80,475 3ost.$3,101,708 Capital stock paid in. 1,510,874 Excess of cost over capital paid in.. .$1,651,433 The original bonded debt was as follows First mortgage bonds 1852-54.$ 800,000 Debentures (not mortgage) 1855 and 1858. COO.OOD $1.400,000 In January, 1861, the State agreed to guarantee the bonds of the company to the -?mount of $900,090 to retire thc first mort? gage debt thea maturing and to fund the floating debt. At the end of the war. the debt of the company was only partly readjusteJ. the unsecured debt was falling due, a large interest account had accumulated, the road depots and bridges were seriously injured or destroyed, and the country which should support the road was prostrated. In 1S60, therefore, the Legislature authorized an additional guarantee of $600,000, of which $350,000 was to be applied to fund the in? terest on the mortgage and guaranteed debt, at par, aud $250,000 to adjust the bonded lebt-outside the mortgage of $600,000 with interest. The aots of the Legislature jontemplated, therefore, a guarantee of | 51,500,000, which was then sufficient to ar? range the whole bonded debt, and would leave but one mortgage, that of the State, upon the property of the company. The -ompany again proceeded to readjust their iebt, when their operations were stopped iy the ordinance of the Reconstruction invention in 1808, suspending all acts of ;he Legislature passed since December, I860, ending the name and credit of the State to my corporation. On February 6, 1809, au lot was ratified making valid and coerci? ng the previous acts for the relief of the lompany, whiob "is now in a condition to "proceed in the readjustment of the debt? "with a prospect, it is believed, of not being "again interfered with or annoyed.'" The President sa; s : "In the meantime, during "all their difficulties, the company hm gone "steadily forward in the rebuilding and im "proving of their road and property, whilst "their income has been as steadily on the in? crease. It has certainly ceased to be a ques? tion now as to whether they will be able "to pay their interest and operate their "road successfully; and the holders of their "bonds past due are respectfully inv."?ed to "come forward and renew them, and take "others endorsed by the State. They are "now paying their six months' interest "upon their mortgage and guaranteed debt "falling due on the 1st day of January, "1809, and funding all interest maturing "previous and up to July 1, 1863, in their "bonds guaranteed by the State." The following is a statement of the bond? ed debt of the company on the 1st day of January last : First mortgage bonds, outstanding. .$ 320,500 Interest and coupons. 147,715 Guaranteed bonds, 1861. 629,500 In teres t and coupons. 96,360 Guaranteed bonds, 1806 . 246.618 Interest and coupons. 17,867 BondB not secured by mortgage. 485,500 Interest and coupons. 223,279 Second mortgage bonds. 50,680 Interest and coupons . 3,672 Total, Januaiy 1, 1869..$2,221.696 Reduction by funding non-mortgage bondB and coupons at 33J per cent. 472,519 Adjusted debt.$1,749,176 Upon this debt the yearly interest at six per cent, would be $104,950. The net earn? ings of the road last year were $129,000, so that if no large extraordinary expenses are incurred and charged to income, the road shoald without difficulty be able to meet its interest as it falls due. In conclusion, President Hammett Bays : "The litigation in reference to the foreclo? sure of the mortgage, together with that com? menced by the guaranteed bondholders for their own protection, and also by the Attorney General for the protection of the State, re mains unchanged since our last annual meet inp. It is hoped that the parties who com menced thc suit will see that it is to their in terest (as it certainly is) to withdraw it, and accept the terms of the company for the re newal of their bonds, and thereby aid them in the readjustment of all ?heir past due debt This cou'se would relieve all thc parties of much annoyance and be to the interest of all concerned, because when that is done-and it is evident that the company will bo ablo to con tinue the payment of their interest promptly as it maturos, wbich is certainly now clearly de moMtrated-the guaranteed bonds will ad vance in market to a price much above the first mortgage bonds, which have not been exchanged." Wo nave given this full synopsis of the report of the operations and conditions of the road, because of its importance to the State and to the public at large. The fig ures which we publish will enable each person to judge for himself what are the prospects of the company, whose affairs, it must be said, have been managed by Pres? ident Hammett with economy, sagacity and discretion. Negro Magistrates. The unfortunate occurrence in Barnwell, the particulars of which we published yes terday, shows very clearly the consequences of an attempt on the part of an ignorant colored magistrate to hunt do wu and arrest a white man. A white man broke into a storehouse for the purpose nf catching a negro named Brown, who, however, made his escape uninjured. Brown went before Julius Mayer, a mulatto magistrate, and upon his affidavit a warrant was issued and a posse of armed negroes was called out. Mayer with Ashe, also a mulatto, and the posse of ten ox twenty negroes, went to the house of Mr, John A. Best, where they found the white man who had molested Brown. Some firing followed, one of the posse being killed and a white man badly wounded. Mayer withdrew his party and issued an order for "all good citizens" to be at the resi? dence of Ashe within twelve hours; a negro being sent on a mule from plantation to plantation, to call out the colored men of the district. Several squads of armed negroes did make their appearance, but thanks to the efforts of some of the white citizens, there was no disturbance. On the following morning the inquest was held, the " magistrate " being escorted by a gang of armed negroes. There seems to be no doubt that the white man first Bpoken of was originally in the wrong, but this is not the root of the difficulty. The whites are ready to obey the laws and do obey them. When any additional force is necessary they will cheerfully sustain the civil authorities in making an arrest. But the whites are all aware that colored men like Mayer have no knowledge of the law, and they feel that when they surrender themselves to a negro posse, they do not submit to the civil power to be punished or acquitted as they deserve, but place themselves at the mercy of a band of infuriated colored men whose thirst for blood, when once aroused, is not easily ap? peased, and who are a3 likely to shoot them in the back and leave them to rot in a ditch as io turn them over to the custody of a responsible officer of the law. The white people do not refuse to submit to the law of the land. They do hesitate to put them? selves in thc power of a posse of negroes, who have been aroused aud excited by Borne veal or imaginary wrong. As long as the law is executed by men who are trusted there is no such thing as resisting an arrest. When, however, a white man is to be seized and oarried off by authority of a mulatto who scarcely knows how to write his own name, it 1? hard to blame the offender for being somewhat disinclined to make an unconditional surrender. pjOLMES ?i MACBETH, No. 3 G Broad-street;, Charleston, b.

Its new business for the month of December wai $71,393 36, insuring the amount of $1,157,060. Its new business for the month of January was $86,521 71, insuring the a DJ ount of $1,649,000.

The Association was first started by thc most wealthy and influential citizens of St. Louis, for thc purpose of changing the current of Lifo Insur? ance and Life Insurauce capital from the East to the West and South, and as its plan is liberal and just to every section, State and district, the wealthy men ol the West and Sou'h generally are insuring' their lives in it, to thc exclusion of other companies. This ls shown by the fact that the policies issued during tho months of December and January are of an averango amount of $7.368 42, drawing an aver? age annual premium of $418 20.
