NEWS SUMMARY. -In Liverpool, yesterday evening, owl iou closed quiet, with uplands at 12JalQJd, and Or? leans at T21al2?d. Sales 8000 bales. -In New York ootton closed without any de oided ohange. (Sales 1800 bales. Middlings 28*c. -Gold, yesterday, waa exoitod, closing at 84 with an upward tendon cy. -A matrimonial brokerage omeo has been started in New York. -The President is appointing a good many newspaper men to office. -Sweden and Norw* y sent 18,000 emigrants to this country last year, and a much larger number is looked for this year. -The young ^ladies of New York are now adopting the role of "sweet simplicity," and appear at balls and par tica in short 'muslin dresses, without ornaments of any kind. -The Washington Chronicle saya that con? siderable complaint is made by the Southern Republican senators in consequence of what they allege to be the unequal distribution of tho foreign appointments. -The Salt Lake Reporter says : "We never could und . rat and why Brigham Young should take the eagle for his emblem. That royal bird is strict monogamist; he has one mate and is noted for his faithfulness to her, de? fending her with his life. Now, ii Brigham had chosen the rooster we could see the point at once. Wo venture to suggest the change -even now." -Senator Koas on Friday secured the rejec? tion of the person nominated for Postmaster at Lawrence, Kansas. Thia was one of the ap? pointments over which Giant and Ross had their quarrel the other day. Ross in executive flossi y.\ demanded that the selection of a post? master for a senator's own town by courtesy . belonged to the senator, and in this was sus? tained, with only eight votes in tho negative. -The following sentence from a recent sr eech of Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, can hardly sound less than wonderful to the landless millions of Europe. The senator said, and no doubt correctly, that : "There is no part of the country where a day's labor that any man, with stout arms and a willing heart, however little ho may bo skilled, may perform, cannot earn the price of an acre of good land, at the government sales.'* -A New York letter to the Philadelphia Ledger says : "The 'Imperialist' still lives not? withstanding tho report that it had given up the ghost, in consequence of tho refusal of the nows companies to ciroulate it. The propri? etors are out in card to that effect, and pro? fessing to be able to show that the paper has already obtained a circulation of over ten thousand. As yet, the names of the propri? etors are a profound secret. The rumor of its .suppress i >n was an advertising dodge." -A New York letter of Friday says : "We have news from Albany, this afternoon, that the much-talked of underground railroad job has gone through the Assembly, by a vote of eighty-three to ten. This job, if carried ont, will demolish St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, in Barolay-street, and moke sad havoc with old Trinity even. Rev. Father Quinn denouuoedthe eoheme, from St. Peter's - pulpit, in very severe terms, on Sunday morn? ing last, and the Tablet of to-day, speaking for the Catholics of this oity, gives notice that no railroad company will ever be permitted to destroy that temple, be the consequences what they may. The j sb no doubt will go through the Senate also; but a veto awaits it in the Executive Mansion. Whether it can be passed over the veto remains to be seen." -A curious scene was recently witnessed on the Potomac, opposite Alexandria, which is thus described by the Gazette of that city : "A gull had, with a swoop, H tr nek its talons deep ?into the back of a fish, the size of which it hod evidently mistaken, for instead of bearing it away, as it had intended, the fish not only re mained in tho water, but swam rapidly about -on the surface of the river, mounted by its fluttering and now alarmed assailant, which was unable to disengage its claws from their living fastenings. The bird in its endeavors, at first to carry off and then to free itself from its intended prey, soon exhausted its 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 choked by the ?rippling waves as they closed over it." -The New York Central freight oar thieves had been oarrying 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 doors. The deors are not looked, . but are sealod with some kind of a leaden sub? stance. This the burglars would tear off with a nippers carried for the purpose. Once in the oars, business was immediately com? menced. If the goods were not of a desirable kind, they would jump offend get cn the next freight train. The goods wore generally se? lected before a station was reached. As the train slacked, the thieves would throw the goods, previously stuffed into bags, from the cara and then jump off, and under the cover of darkness obtain them again and put them in s sate plaoe. One night the rasoals did not make their selection until the tunnel was reached. Here they threw their 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 near Oneida, and then made two trips to that place to secure them. Large quantities of goods have been thrown away because the thieves were ignorant of their value. The amount of tho 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 Radicale are ex? pressing great disgust. In a con vcr eat ion 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? tion as now openly practiced here in high quarters, and his honest belief wa? that the .only salvation for this country was to reinstate the old Demceratio party. His brother, also a Radical convert from the Democracy, exclaim? ed, Treason, treason.' ?Ton may eal! it what you please,' said tho first speaker, ?but no ono knows bettor than yourself the truth of what I say.' Goueral Sickles, who was present dpriog tho convorsat on, remarked, 'I don'c know about reinstating tho Domocraoy, but I do know I leave bore this pvoning thonmghly digusted at what I have witnessed.' During the conversation it was stated to bo a tact that a brother-in-law to President Grant was regu? larly engaged in selling, and at high prices too, his lettors of recommendation for office. In a word, the Federal Capital is now rogarded by all parties here as a vast gambling hell, in wbioh tho public offices are played for, won and lost as ooins of gold and silver would bo at Baden-Baden." CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 18C?. The Greenville ?nd Columbia Railroad Company. The annual report of the operations of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company for tho year ending December31,1808, shows that the gross earnings from all sources were $345,543, from whioh are deducted $i96, 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 stet income of $129,312. This net income was applied to the payment of accounts chargeable to maintenance of way and oonduoting 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 1850 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 15,828 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 oountry through whioh it passes, and "clearly 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 1868. 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 lo a very con? siderable extent." The increased business looked for during the yen.* will make necessary au addition to the rolling stock; but this is expeoted to be obtained by repairing and rebuilding old locomotives, and by building new freight oars, all which can be done without a large additional expense exoept for material, some of whioh is on hand. Since January last 250 tons of new rail have been pur? chased and paid for, and are now being laid down; and it is believed that much of the worn iron may be replaced in a few years "without reducing the net inoome below a "point whioh will be necessary to meet all | "expenses and pay all the interest on the "bonded debt, when readjusted, promptly "as it matures." During 1868, 65,262 cross ties were put into the road, including 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 having almost doubled since the beginning of the lease. This, says President Ham met, "is some slight indioation of what may "be expeeted when the entire line is com "ploted to Knoxville; an event whioh we "should look anxiously forward to, and "whioh we have reason to believe will be "accomplishe d in a very few years, or as soon "aa it oan be done in the ordinary course "of railroad construction." A oondensed statement cf the history of the road and its present condition, gives the' following as the total cost : 1G4.? miles of road, with branches, outfit, real estate, shops and out? fit.,. $8,081,213 S took of other companies..<* 80,475 Cost..$3,161,708 Capitol stock paid in.1,510,374 Excess of cost over oapital paid in... $1,651,488 The original bonded debt was as follows : First mortgage bonds 1852-54.$ 800,000 Debentures (not mortgage) 1855 and 1858 . 600,000 $1.400,000 In January, 1861, the State agreed to guarantee the bonds of the company to the amount of $900,000 to retire the first mort? gage debt then maturing and to fund the floating dobt. At the end of the war, the debt of the company waa only partly readjusted, the unsecured debt waa falling due, a large interest account bad accumulated, the road depots and bridgea were seriously injured or destroyed, and the oountry whioh ahould support the road was prostrated. In 1866, therefore, the Legislature authorized an additional guarantee of $600,000, of whioh $850,000 waa to be applied to fund the in? terest on the mortgage and guaranteed debt, at par, and $260,000 to adjust the bonded debt-outside the mortgage of $600,000 with interest. Tho acts of the Legislature contemplated, therefore, a guarantee of $1,500,000, whioh waa then sufficient to ar? range the whole bonded debt;, and would leave but one mortgage, that of the State, upon the property of tho company. Tho eompany again proceeded to readjust their debt, when their operations were stopped by the ordinanoe of th? Reconstruction Convention In 1868, suspending all hots of tho Legislature passed sinoe December, I860, lending th? nam? and credit of tho State to any corporation. On February 6, 1869, aa aet waa ratified making valid and confirm? ing tho previous aol? for th? relief of tho company, walch "if now In a condition to "proceed in the readjustment of the debt* "with a prospect, it is believed, of not being "again interfered with or annoyed.*' Tho President says : ''lu the meantime, during "all their difficulties, the company bas gone "steadily forward in the rebuilding and im "proving of their road and property, whilst "their income has been as steadily on the in? crease. It hft3 certainly coaled to be a ques? tion now as to whether they will be able "to pay their interest and operate their "road successfully; and the holders of their "bonds past due are respectfully invited to "come forward and renew them, and take "others endorsed by the State. They are "now paying their six months' interest "upon their mortgage and guaranteed debt "falling due on the 1st day of January, "1869, and funding all interest maturing "previous and up to July 1, 1869, in their "bonds guaranteed by the State." The following is a statement of the bond? ed debt of the company on the 1st day of January last : First mortgage bouda, outstanding. .$ 320,500 Interest and coupons. 147,715 Guaranteed bonds, 1861.. 629,500 Interest and coupons. 96,860 Guaranteed bonds, 1866 . 246,618 Interest and coupons. 17,867 BondB not secured by mortgage. 485,500 Interest and coupons. 223,279 Seoond mortgage bonds. 50,683 Interest and coupons . 8,672 Total, January 1, 1869.$2,221,696 Reduction by funding non-mortgage bonds and coupons at 83 j per oent. 472.519 Adjusted debt.'... l?/749,176 Upon this debt the yearly interest at six per oent. 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 charge J to income, the road should without difficulty be able to meet its interest as it falls due. In conclusion, President Hammett says : "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 alsoby the Attorney General for the protection of the State, re? mains unchanged sinoe our last annual meet? ing. It is hoped that the parties who com? menced the 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 ot their bonds, and thereby aid them in the readjustment ot all their poet due debt, This ooutse would relieve all the 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 be able to con? tinue the payment of their interest promptly I as it matures, which is certainly now clearly de? monstrated-the guaranteed bonds will ad? vance in market to a price much above the first mortgage bonds, which have not been exchanged." We have given this full synopsis of the report of the operations and conditions of the road, beoause of its importance to the State and to the public at large. The fig? ures which we publish will enable eaoh person to judge for himself what are the prospeots of the company, whose affairs, it must be said, have been managed by Pres? ident Hammett with economy, sagacity and discretion. Negro Magistrate*. 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 magietratc to hunt down and arrest a white man. A white man broke into a storehouse for the purpose of 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 oalled out. Mayer with Ashe, also a mulatto, and the posse of ten or 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" tobe at the resi? dence of Ashe within twelve hours; a negro being sent on a mule from plantation to plantation, to oall out the oolored men of the distriot. Several squads of armed negroes did make their appearanoe, 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 spoken of was originally in the wrong, but this is not the root of the difficulty. The whites are ready to obey tho laws and do obey them. When any additional force is necessary they will cheerfully sustain the oivil authorities in making an arrest. But the whites are all aware that oolored 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 oivil power to be punished or acquitted as they deserve, but place themselves at the meroy of a band of infuriated oolored men whose thirst for blood, when once aroused, is not easily ap? peased, and who are as likely to shoot them in the back and leave them to rot in a ditch as to 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 the power of a posse of negroes, who have been aroused and exoited by some real er imaginary wrong. Ai long as the law is executed by men who are trusted there is no snob thing as resisting an arrest. When, however, a white man is to be seised and carried off by authority of a mulatto who scarcely knows how to write his own name, it is hard to blame the offender for being; somewhat disinclined to make an unconditional surrender.
