The annual meeting of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company took place- j ester day, at 12 M., at the hall ar the Planners' and Me? chanics' Bank. The majority or the stock being represented, the meeting was called to order, Andre-v simonds, Esa., in the chair, asdS. W. Flshei, Esq., secretary. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and confirmed. The president's and superintendent's reports were read, and the treasurer's exhibits presented, which, on motion, were accepted, and ordered to be published. >k ronara ANNCAL REPORT?OF THE PRESIDENT OF TBS SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD COMPANY. + CHARLESTON, February 8, 1871. To the Stockholders-la conformity with the by-laws, the president and directors submit their report ot the operations of the eompany for the fiscal year ending December 3lat, 1870: Qros3 earning for the year.$147.345 29 Operating expenses for the year. 89,989 94 Excess or earnings. $57,355 35 By the terms of the contract ror rebuilding, the road was to have been opened to the Junction with the Central Road, near Savannah, on the 1st December, 1869. It was delivered to us on the nth day of March, 1870-a loss of three months and eleven days or the most productive season of the year, subse? quently the contractors attempted to retake the road; and. at One time, actually obstructed the Susage of the train over the bridge at Savannah Iver. TMs failure on the part of the contrac? tors, their subs, quent vexatious proceedings, and the malicious circulation of reports that the track was unsafe ror passenger trains, caused great em? barrassment and a loss or from $12,000 to $ i5,ooo per month of profits for four months. Notwithstanding these adverse circumstances we show an excess or earnings of $57,355 35 on not more than nine months of through business, which ls more thin equal to the interest on the funded debt for that period, and showing that if we had been saved from the less of not less than $40 ooo Inflicted, by the contractors, there would have remained,- arter payment of Interest for the wholeyearvahonsldertiliJesnm tobe appropriat? ed to the reconstruction and equipment Of tho road. The Northern through travel was uuusual ly light during the mouths of November and De cember, and. everything considered, the result to the ?lose of the first year gives satisfactory as surance of future success and prosperity. A comparison of our operations with those of 1869 will show the following results: 1S69. 1870. Increase.

The company has not been In a condition the past year to. make either or these necessary connections, but it ls hoped that measnrea will be speedily devised lor scouring these indispensable Improvements. The completion of th* Fort Royal Railroad, which ls confidently expected during the current year, most. Increase our business to such an.ex? tent, as to render a Terry over the Ashley very in? convenient and expensive. Indeed, it will be Impossible to accomplish the work with one steamer. The Port Royal Railroad Is progressing steadUy. More than twenty-live miles or iron ls laid, aud the track ls in good, condition; most of the heavy grading la finished, and cross-ties for more than sixty miles of road have already been delivered. I have beau lnformed-by the engineer la charge that the work ls to be prosecuted with vigor, and will be finished and in readiness for next fall's business. " ?.. A bul to eaabre tors company or Its assign* to construct? roasTXrOto-the Oeniral Rail road toaud across the Savannah Tdver.-at or, above sister-,' Ferry, was passed by both houses of the Oe .rgta Legislature. The Governor vetoed the bill, it ls hoped ander a misconception of Its object. Mea? sures will bs taten to pass tr_e bill tn thc next Legislature, and it ls believed that the authority will he granted. Asimilar bill was presented in the Legislature of this State to construct a road rrom the Savannah River to Yemassee. on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, lt was re? ferred to the com mit iee ?rn railroads bot no report iras made upen it. Measures have been taken to resuscitate this bill, with good prospect of sun? less. A project so important and so necessary to the Interests of trade and commerce-shoulu com? mend Itself to every legislator .or enlarged views. No aid is asked fro Tn either State to construct Hie road rrom Temassee to Millen, but simply tue privil?ge of supplying a link walch will uiake a continuous line of railroad from Charleston to Marshall. Texas, which is the terminus of the Southern Pacific. Such a conned ton leagre.it public requirement, and cannot be long delayed. A new and most important connection ls proposed by Mr. Wm. P. Clyde, of New York. Ue proposes to ruo a flrst-olass weekly passen? ger steamer batweeu Cedar Keys and Uavaua. This route wlH be mach more expeditious than the present one, and will involve a sea voyage of only thirty hours. Tue, matter ls now under con? sideration by the different railroad companies Interested. w?h every prospect that thc object will be accomplished, A'contract has been cou clnded with Messrs. Drane A McDowell to per mic them to transport phosphates, uud phosphate 11 rock over our track from John's Island Ferry to 11 the terminus at St. Andrew'a They have built a track from their works to our track, and are now mgaged In building a wharf on fe Ashley River, south of the whan used by the company, for the reception, and shipment or their phosphates. Other parties have -applied to know ir simllnr privileges, will be granted, and the rapid develop ment ol.thls valuable trade seems to be assured The transportation or phosphates bida fair to be a moat important source of revouue. Allusion was made ia my last report to the 11 revenue expected to be derived rrom our colored < population; the resuit has justified my pre diction. A reference tb the report of thc superln tendent will show tnat nearly three-fifths of the passengerfK transponed over our railroad wore colored panons, and the number shows a stealty Increase, 8 A carefuller usai of the report er the engineer md supemteodeut will show the condition of the road afr the conuneaceoioot of the lost fiscal year, and what, has "been done since towards re? construction and equiumrnt. During the year the reconstruct lon of the tnrk, draw bridges, trestles, Ac ic, has been continued mid con eluded, aibl the wtiole work ls now In excellent and .satisfactory condition. The expenditures for reconstruction and equipment have necessarily been verraaige, but they were indispensable, and the sum 30 expended ia just so much addition to the permanent value of the property or the com pany, faa the expenditures bereifter will only be for ornhfary repairs. The principal items of ex peodlrnre may oe stated as follows : Amount pild lor reconstruction of road, cross ties, timber, station houses, machine shops, houses for road,hands, car shops, engine house, recast ruction of ears and locomo? tives, say./. $110,117 9? Tvro first-class passenger t a a, new... 10,00000 Forty, new freight cars. 34 ooo 00 Steamer Fannie ami equipment.. 10,300 00 Stationary machinery, shop tools, Ac. 17,311 84 The greater parr of this largo sum has been ob? tained by tue aid or the' resources and funds or some of the directors and their friends, and u U the duty of the company tomato: some perma? nent arrangement ror their relier.

The result shows the actual value to h*.$?,094,300 00 Dednct amount debt. 1,365,849 os Difference. 7.'8,460 05 For greater certainty and to provide i for the contingency of toe out? standing claims and liabilities de? duct the very liberal allowance Of 30 per cent. 218 635 28 . . $509,915 67 , And this amount represents the Interest or the stockholders at a value estimated most libe? rally against them. The property.iwlthout reference to the prospect? ive advantages or H connrction with Augusta and with Millen, will, lt lu confidently believed yield an Income equal to seven per cent, on It's debt and this surpius.value or the property. To do this a net Income ot not more f. an $1309 per mlle ls necessary, and this may be reasonably calculated on: The only cause or anxiety in the affairs or toe company arises from the unfunded debt. Upon all of this, except/ ?20,000, we are paying Interest ? at a rate not less than twelve per cent, per annum, anil the average on the whole will equal that rate. This must not .be allowed to continue. So much as ls chargeable to reconstruction and equipment, which ls nearly the whole, should be funded. The mistake made in the first Instance was in limiting the leane the se vender cent, first mortgage bonds to $ soo OOO,' Instead of $750,000, :and that mistake- mus? now be remedied. * The only available asset which caa be Immedl ately applied to this debt is $50,000 of the mortgage bonds still held by the company. They may be sold, it ls believed, to realize $40,000, and I recommend their sole and application to this pur pose. I (urtber recommend the issue of $200 of bonds payable lo five years, with semi-annual coupons for interest, at the rate oT eight per cent per annum, and that these bonds be distributed at par among the stockholders, rateably, accerd? lng to the number or shares of eaefe. If this ls done, I see no difficulty in rapidly pay lng off the remainder or the debt, and thereafter whatever surplus Income there may oe, will right fully belong to the stockholders. The value of Incorporated company stockt always depends upon the value of , corporate property after payment of the cor porare debts. We Bee that tn one instance the lowes: estimate of the stock ls a frac tion more than fifty per cent, of Its par value By a special provision of oar chai ter, the dlrec tlon ls authorized to hypothecate, or assign and transfer, by way of mortgage, the stuck and certificates thereof to secure the repayment the cost of reconstruction, A '. Having this, in view, the direction have hereto fore Issued certificates of subscription, and have stated on the face of said certificates that "the certificates of shares are retained by the dlrec tlon under this power to hypothecate the capital stock." In point of fact, the stock now stands pledged for the protection or those who have so liberally aided tbe-oompany during the past year. I recommend that certificates or the capital stock banow Issued, disoharged from this power of the direction,"upon tne stockholder receiving at par and paying for his rateable proportion, a cording to the number of his shares, of two han dred thousand dollars of eight per cent, bouda The effect of this will be to give t lie stockholder a clear, unrestricted scrip for his stock, and eight per cent, bonds for the lull amount he Is required to pay, which security and stock he may then dispose Of SB he shall see proper cr Cud?farina OWL interest. The adoption br ens suggestion puts the management;'dr each-onS'i atrelrs under lits own control, and leaves the company free from embarrassment to pursue a career of future prosperity, which will advance the stock to par before the maturity or any of Us funded debt. If the company shall adopt my recommanda Uons, the estimates and future policy will be that the annual earnings, without other than the preseat connectons-though elie road is.incom plete, wanting a bridge at Charleston, and three miles of road to reach Savanuali-win pay thc operating expenses, and not less than $1500 per mlle. There ls reasonable hope of this result, and lt will, ir realised, leave a surplus, after paying Interest on the whole debt, of not less thau $60 Dooper annum. With ? sufficient portion or thia io accomplish the purpose; I propose to create sinking fund for the redemption uf the 8 per cent bonds, to bc Invested annually in those bondt The animaTappflcatlon of $32,000 lu>this way, the bonds can be purchased at tiO per cent., will accomplish the result. The remainder of the In come may be distributed in annual dividends to the stockholders. Whatever additional Income there shat' be from the connection between Charleston and Augusta by the Port itoyal Road which, hy the term, of Its charter, must be cost pleted by the first, day of Au rust next, I propose to app y to the building of the bridge over the Ash ey, and to apply the additional income from the connection between Savannah and Augusta to the comrdetlou of the connection with the Gulf road. But I do not propose ever to contract any debt for these purposes.' After the redemption of the eight per cent bonds, and the completion of the connections at Charleston aud Savannah, the stockholders may hope for as large a division of profits as ls likely to be yielded by any other Southern road. I take gc eat pleasure lo bearlug testimony to the emcleaey and fidelity with which the officers in charge of the several departments, and those em ployed under their direction, have discharged their dunes during the pasi year. Heepoctfullly submitter!, ALEXANDER isAAos, President. The .'on j wing resolutions were then unanimous ly adopted: Resolved. That the direction ls hereby author ized and directed to issue three hundred thoa ?and dollars'(f 300,000) of this company's bonds payable twenty years after their date, with semi ni'iuai Interest-coupons at the'rate o' eight per :cut. per annum attached, to bc distributed to the stockholders, rateably, according to the nnm Der or shares of each, upon payment of seventy percent, of the par value thereof; and thereupon ;;ich stockholder dull be.entitled to have certlfi sates of his, her or their stock, free from the power if the direction, to hypothecate the same. Resolved, That the stockholders shall have the privil?ge of receiving and paying for said bonds n four (4) equal monthly .instalments from this Ute, and shall have certificates of stock accord ugly corresponding to the receipts sad payments or bonds. Resolved. That In case any stockholder shall ?eglector refuse to receive aad pay for lils por lon of said bonds according to the foregoing 'csoluttons, the direction shall thereupon raise jy borrowing on account of each sueh stock mlder in default, the amount in default, and, for security to the lender, shall hypothecate by wav ir mortgage not only his, her or their stock, with .he coruscates thereof, but also therewith the Bond or bonds he, she or they may be entitled to md has or have neglected or refused to receive ind pay for. Resolved, That thc secretary and treasurer do 'urnlsh each stockholder with a copy of "the preal teat's, report, and of these resolutions, at the ..at liest possible date.

K will be romerobered that our lost recoxd of the trial of the Beaufort commissioners or elec? tion closed with a statement by Mr. C. e. Wright, United States assessor, that he discovered BO less than three prominent handwritings in the changes on tickets rrom Bowen to DeLarge, tanning through, boxes from precincts fifty miles apart. Mr. S. ?. Millett, ex-president of the Port Royal Railroad, testified that he voted the Reform ticket at Beaufort, and for C. 0. Bowen as the .candidate, for Congress. Previous to the election had many conversations with one of the comm'ssloHors who WSB a bitter partisan, and, while the latter did not say he woold staff the ballot-box, he did strongly Intimate ?hat lt would be useless for anybody to "batt against him or his party." Thit was the common talk around Beaufort. Witness did not profess to be an expert, but was ramlllar with handwriting. Knew that of Mr. Williams, one of the commis? sioners, but was not so well acquainted with the handwriting of Oleares and Langley, his two -associates on the board. Witness here examined "tfelceta from Gray's Hit, Cypress Creek, Beaufort, Ac , and states that he discovers two or three handwritings prevailing In those boxes. Would not swear lt was Mr. Williams'a hand; but wit? ness has seen bim write two, three or four hands, lias seen him imitate the writing of Mr. Spin? ner, oh United States treasury notes, so that one could not tell the difference. Williams is the greatest expert with a pon witness ever a&w.^ There' are certainly three dur?rent hands running tbcongh these boxes, and the same person wrote the chatiges in alu Witness, lrowever, could ?ot Identify anybody, because the writing ls m pencil. On examination, witness states that he was not a Bowen .man, but as be? tween two evils, he voted ror C. C. Bowen. There had been a great hue and cry against thc com? missioners, and witness wrote to Governor Scott that he considered lt a crowning crime to appoint three such men to count votes, when two or them were running-for office. Does not pretend to recognize Wllllama's handwriting, because lt ls In lead pencil. Had no interest la the result or the trial, except that a great crime had been com? mitted In the community which demanded punishment. It was a common by-word in town "Yon have got the voting, but we have got the count." Witness now made a tn ore careful ex? amination of votes in the several boxes, and tes? tified to the remarkable similarity in the changes from'Bowea to DeLarge which are everywhere evident, in the People's precinct a great num? ber or changes were la the identical hand ob? servable In the Beaufort box, yet the two places are forty miles apart. Mr. H. o'. Judd was recalled to testily as to the manner in which ho separated one precinct rrom another, and was enabled to arrive at the results reported by him. He stated that lt was done by comparing the number or ballots and tnelr ar? rangement, when strung, with the tally Hst fur? nished by one of the committee or citizens who had compared lt with the report or the commis? sioners. There was one large bundle of 230 whloh had no Indication as to where lt belonged. In making an examination of the ballots, they were kept absolutely separate. There Was no reason why the ballot-boxes could not have been de? posited in the county vault, as lt was In a perfect? ly secure condition, and all the keys had been tendered to the commissioners. Witness testified that Bythewood told him Mr. williams had promised to give him money to keep away, and it was the reason why he (B.) did not wish ta appear bstore the grand Jury. The character of Bythewood for truth and honesty was uaknowa to him, bat he was a common drunkard, and had been incarcerated In Jail and punished times without number. Henry Pollitzer testified that while standing back of the chair of Mr. Williams, one of the com? missioners, while he was calling out the names on the tickets, he saw Williams read rrom a mis? printed or blurred ticket* the mmes or Scott and Banaler, but omit the name or C. C. Bowen, which waa less defective than the other two. Thought the omission a very strange one, and spoke of the fae several times tn Beaufort. John Proctor, a deputy marshal, testified that he was sent to Beaufort to arrest the ballot-boxes and bring them to Charleston. Ou the evening of the 5th-Of January, he round thenTBtored under the house or Mr. Williams, one vf. the commission? ers, with'the excepUon of twp, Which were nsed to prop up a boat near by. There were twenty?" four la all. . Tuey were examined oraton these' premises, then put upon a cart and carried to the house of Mr. Judd, where they were further ex? amined by two carpenters by..wuom they wer? constructed. . These carpenters Stated that some alterations had been made in the jinxes since they were turned out of their hands, and called atten? tion to.some or the nails which did not correspond with those originally drives. They also gave wit? ness several of the nails as specimens of those used by them lu ? the construction ot the boxes. This examination was made in the presence of a number of jpersous. Ten of the boxes were there upon brought to Charleston, hod Hie remainder, were left with Mr. J odd. United States commis-, sion ar. '-" 's;, ' / . , The carpenters-.stated. they had made' 23, but only 24 could be found. . in soma of the boxes. tba carpenters Haid, they found the nail holes lu snob, a condition as led them to believe tue heads of the nails had been drawn through, and whoever did lt - was not par? ticular m putting other nails In the same holes. fTlie boxes were now submitted to"thejary for -examination.] Un the tem h day of the examination upwards of forty witnesses were examined Ixcnu People's preetuo*, who testified as -to the mainer tn which they voted, and the character, .of the changes which appear when votes could be idem med. The prosecution then announced thar its case was clisad, and the court adjoarned until Mon? day, when the defence examined three witnesses, whose testlmcny wc shall publish to-morrow. . THE ACADEMY OK MOSIO.-At the request of thc admirers or Mr. Watklus's dramatic prodoc. tiona, "Trodden Down,'"aa his choice drama, was repeated last night, and, as on the occasion orita first presentation, was* warmly received. There are few'plays more abounding In striking drama? tic ?it nations, or in w h Ich-1 here ll auch an excess of attractive dialogue; sufficient, indeed, to fur? nish material for two or three very respectable -dramas. Mr. Watkins aa a representative Irish? man, certainly has few superiors on the boards, and with thc advantage or a fine, physique, sym? pathetic voice and gracerul action, he sways at will the emotions of his audience. . lim Watkins, lu her doable role; of Mary Mc -Carrby- and Blanche Desmonds-displayed re markable versatility, and appeared as much at home in illustrating the character of the con? stant, b?aVe end-patient exile's wife, BB sh? arter wards pl aye i with ease and natural grace the beautiful an I dignified Lady Blanche. We have heretofore said (hat Mrs. watkins sings lier way into the hearts o'f her audience, and last night she scattered her pearls In vocal showers with a pro? fusion' which called ror th rounds of the moat ap preciat.ve applause. Upon being encored, she Bang with thrilling effect, "The Wearing of the Green." The play announced for to night, ls "Kathleen Mavourneen."'
