After offering

Mr. Sherman raises three questions: First, ought the

In regard to the

Sherman on
delivered an elaborate and comprehensive re-
arguments by which certain members of
some show of success to
render probable the repeal and temporary overthrow of
the Resumption act of January, 18T5.
Mr. Sherman's
speech has produced a deep impression throughout the
country.
Its salutary influence is founded partly on the
broad and statesmanlike views it gives of the monetary
and financial situation, and partly on the absence of
the weak arguments and unsound theories which some of
the sound currency advocates have occasionally condescended to use.
Mr. Sherman laid down the fundamental principle that the policy of the Resumption law
is just what the credit and the best interests of the
ountry demand. Hence this la\p should not be repealed

any note that is presented? But, it is said, where is the gold to
come from to enable us to resume. Not only is the gold of t^e

So it is, because we will not use it as other nations
do.
Give it occupation here and it will remain here, and the
products of our farms and workshops will be exported instead. It
is said we can make a standard of something else that is not
exportable. So we can by cutting ourselves off from the civilization of the human race. And now let us briefly examine the
question Are the agencies and measures prescribed by the act of
1875 sutflcient for the purpose ? This bill does not contain provisions that for years I have struggled to secure. Still I feel
bound to'Bay that it contains ample a{;enci>s and powers to carry
it into a full execution without the addition of a single provision
by Congress. * * I will cheerfully support any measure of
wise economy proposed to strengthen the public Treasury I will
cheerfully vote for a moderate tax on tea and coffee, because this

articles, and be the means of enabling us to repeal other taxes
that are both a burden and an inconvenience ; I will gladly vote
for the voluntary conversion of a limited amount of United States
notes into bonds, as each of those measures will tend to prepare'
us for a specie standard. But each of these measures, and
others that may be proper, are not, in my judgment, indispensable to the full and complete execution of the law of 1875 on or
before the 1st day of January, 1879. I have a confident belief
that if Congress will now hold fast to the law as it stands, the
drift of events and the practical operation of the law will not

Railroad. In the suit of Aaron Freeman against the
Railroad Company, the Supreme Court, General Term,
reverses Judge Donohue's dd^ision in the Court below. The
plaintiff, as a stockholder of the company, sued to prevent the
railroad company from running steamship lines on the ground
that no such power was given in its charter, and Judge Donohue
granted the injunction asked for. Judge Davis gives the opinion of
the (Jeneral Term, reversing Judge Donohue's order, and holds
that the act incorporating the defendant company would have
been constitutional if, in express words, it had said that the corporation was incorporated ' for the purpose of constructing and
maintaining a railroad, &c., &c., and of purchasingand navigating
suck steam and sailing vessels from the several termini of said
railroad to and from the cities of New York and San Francisco as
may be proper and convenient to be used in connection witli such
railroad." This leaves only the question whether the actual
words of the act empowering the company " to purchase and
navigate such steam and sailing ves.sels as may be proper to be
used in connection with said railroad " include a power to ran
steamship lines, and Judge Davis concludes that in view of tbo
geographical position of the road, and the possibility of the discontinuance of the Pacific Mail and other steamship lines to the
Isthmus, such power was intended to be granted. Judge Bradyl
in an independent opinion, comes to the same conclusion.

Tennessees, and South Carolinas have been weak
while Louisiana consols are rather stronger. As to the
funding'
of Levee bonds and North Louisiana and Texas Railroad
bonds
by the Funding Board in New Orleans, it appears that there
are
atiU some questions of law pending, and the Board will

prosperous outlook for those roads. The Stock Exchange (,'ommittee
has admitted to the list the 6 per cent. old bonds of the Southern
Pacific Railroad in California, series A, of which the

In the rentals of Western Lines, as above stated, are included the net earnings from the Columbus Chicago & Indiana
Central Railway during the year. It is believed by the Pittsburgh
Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway Company that by reason of the
failure of the C. C. & I. C. Railway Co. to perform its covenants under the lease of its road to the former company, the lease
itself has been practically terminated, and notice liaa been given
and proceedings instituted by the Pittsburgh Cincinnati & St.
Louis Company in accordance therewith. It is hoped that the
litigation relating to this subject will be terminated during the
year, and that, upon its conclusion, the two companies referred
to will arrive at some adjustment for the future operation of the
lines belonging to theC. C. & I. C. Company, Xvestof Columbus, on
a basis that will be equitable and fair to all interests, and give^^

The aggregate len(;t)i of the lines of railway operated by your

lines, your company has, during the last ten years, expended
from the proceeds of its several issues of stock and bonds about

$4,500,000.
Jacksonville & Chicago Koad have both been greatly improved
by the expenditures referred to, And all of the leased lines are
now worth to your company much more \lian an amount which
would be fairly represented by the annual rent paid.
Tbe stock and bonds issued by your company represent the
cost of lines owned by it, and the expenditures made for improvements and rolling stock upon lines held under lease. The additional cost to your company is sliown by the several sums of

ClIICAOO & ILLINOIS nlVKU ROAD.
On the 37th of January, 1875, a circular was forwarded to each
stockholder in relation to the proposed loase of the Chicago &
Illinois liiver lliilroad, which had been built from Joliet to the
Mazon river, traversing the Wilmington coalfields, upon a line
nearly parallel with yours, at a distance of about four miles,
threatening formidable competition with your railway. A majority of the stockholders having consented in writing to the leasing
of the road between Joliet and the Mazon river, the board of
directors directed a lease to be executed, and it was made on the
The lease provides for operating the road

by your company upon an agreed basis of 70 per cent, to be retained
for operiitiug expenses, and for a division of the net earnings
from the coal traliic on the line of the Chicago & Illinois Uiver
Railroad Company, and that of your company between Joliet and
the Mazon river, your company taking 3-3 and the Chicago <&
Illinois River Railroad Company taking 1-3; and for the payment
to the Chicago & Illinois River Railroad Company of 30 per cent
In pursuance of the

authority granted, the board directed the guarantee by your company of the coupons attached to 700 7 per cent currency
thirty-year bonds for $1,000 each. The payment of the bonds and
coupons was secured by a mortgage of the rental to be paid to
that company, and certain coal lands. Afterwards, by agreement,
the amount of coal lands embraced in the mortgage was reduced,
and the Chicago & Illinois River Railroad Company retired and
cancelled 336 of the bonds, above mentioned, and the coupons
thereto attached, leaving 474 bends outstanding. The road has
been put in running order, and is now operated by your company;
but Biifficient time has not elapsed for the development of the coal
fields on the new line to produce much additional coal traffic.
We are, however, well satisfied that the increase of traffic and
other advantages, resulting from the operation of that line by your
company, will fully compensate jou for all that is to be paid for
its use.
By an agreement entered into iu November last between
the Chicago Pekin & Southwestern liailroad Company, the
Chicago & Illinois River Railroad Company, and your company,
the first named company was granted the right to run its trains
over the new line, upon payment of its proportionate share of the
interest on the value of the road, and the expemw ol keeping the
same
in repair.
GENERAL REMJlBKS.
Continued experience in operating the leased lines confirms
their estimated value to your company. The gross earnings upon
your lines during the last year were less than for any year since
1S68. If the reduced earnings had been due to the opening of new
lines competing with yours, or to any cause of a permanent character, it would lead to serious apprehension as to the future value
of your property, but to all who have been well advised as to the
crops, during the last two years, in the country traversed by your
lines, the cause of this large decrease in earnings is apparent.
The large reduction ih passenger receipts results, to a considerable
degree, from the general prostration of business throughout the
country. But the number of passengers, as well as the amount of
freight transported, has been largely reduced by the successive
short crops.

and the income Irom land $223,297 42. The bu'lness suffered
from the prtRsiire of competition by lines adjacent to our own,
that have been obliired to suspend intereHt payments upon their
debts. The directors expect less interference from this source the
present year. We have, besides, to report an exceptional harvest
of corn, more abundant than any for several years. Several large
claims upon tke company, of m^iny years standing, have been
liquidated, leaving us at the present moment free Irom any, ex<cept such as arise Irom actual current busines'.

the line anticipate, increase this number. To meet these outlays,
£200,000 sterling 5 per cent, bonds have been sold at a fair
premium.
" The benefit of the Southern line has proved, the past year,
about equal to the interest charge which the company has incurred in promoting its construction. But we have not di rived the
large traffic which would have been obtained, if the managers of
that line had pos8es.'<ed the means thoroughly to equip and maintain their road.
The directors are negotiating with the owners of
this property, in the hope that measures may be concluded which
will put this line in good worliing order Irom Cairo to New
Orleans, and give the advantage which has hitherto fa'led tn
accrue to our interests.

There is some improvement in general trade. The weather
has become springlike and the prospect is good for an early
re opening of Inland navigation at the North and West. The
coal miners of Pennsylvania will, it is announced, resume work
on the 30th inst. But embarrassments arising from uDBcttled
credits and uncertain values continue to be lelt and there is little
promise that the volume of business for the spring of 1870 will
equal, much less exceed, that of mst spring.
The 8pe3ulation in pork and lard has been variable, but latterly
this tendency has, on the whole, been in favor of sellers
Statistics of pork packing at the six leading cities, during the
season just ended, sliow a falling otf in tlio aggregate, compared
with the seasons 1874-5, of 300,811. The average net weight of

hogs packed at these points last year was 209.47 lb. Upon the
basis of the comparative weights here indicated for this season,
the average would be about 219i lb. net, or an increase of 10 lb.,
or about .5 per cent. Tliere was yesterday some excitement in the
lard market, especially with reference lo spots and early futures.
It was stated that stocks are well concentrated, l)ut mostly sold
for the later months, and of course not offered hence there is a
scarcity for other deliveries and something of a "corner" on
spots and contracts for Marcli. Bacon has been quiet, but pickled
and smoked meats have been more active at full prices. Beef and
beet hams have been steady, with a fair movement in butter and
cheese. Tallow has declined to 9@9ic. for prime. To day the
market was easier for pork at $22 75 for mess and |19 for extra
prime. Lard also allowed some depression with sales at $13 63|
for spot, ;$ 13 67i;for April and |13 85 for May; but other hog
products were very firm.

March
;

at this port has been excited and
week, closing, however, with some
improvement. For export, aa well as consumption, there was an
active demand, and no inconsiderable business was done for
speculation early in the week.
Lines in transit for European
markets and for arrival liore wore taken with some freedom
and the whole market showed that revival which had been so
long expected and persistently delayed. On Monday, quotations
for spots were advanced |c., with holders largely withdrawing
their stocks from sale. This was followed by some inactivity
and weakness but to-day the market was very firm and fairly
active, but without quotable advance. For future delivery, there
has been much activity and excitement, prices, however, being
subject to frequent and violent fluctuations. The tendency, on the
whole, has been upward, and at the close last uiglit prices bid were
about 4c. above the previous Friday. The speculation for a rise
received a serious check on Monday, from the large receipts at
New Orlean.s and Memphis, of which the " bear " party took
advantage to make a strong effort to break down the market.
But tlie " bulls " proved too strong and on Tuesday the decline
was fully recovered. The fluctuations that have taken place are
largely due to speculative manipulation, and to the struggle
between the two parties on our Cotton Exchange. Yesterday,
Liverpool was lower for arrivals, but receipts at the ports pointed
to a very small total
thus both parties had equal grounds for
action, and after fluctuations of l-16c. the close was at about the
for cottou
variable during the past
;
;
;
;
inside prices of the previous evening.
To-day, the demand for
futures was not active, but the market gradually strengthened,
until the close showed an advance of
3-33(3 Jc, owing to small
receipts at the ports and steadier accounts from Liverpool.
The total sales for forward delivery for the week are 141,500
bales, including
free ou board.
For Immediate delivery the
total sales foot up this week 12,793 bales, including 4,041 for export, C,4'iO for consumption, 1,339 for speculation, and 1,103 in
transit.
Of the above, 1,350 bales were to arrive. The following

supply in the markets of the United States are much in excess of
last year, and the weather much more favorable for spring sow-

shown a gratifying increase, and shipments for the week reached
3,583 packages, of which 2,157 packages were sent to China in
execution of orders placed some time ago. In print cloths the
movement has become important, and about 15,000 pieces weekly
are now being shipped from Fall River to England, which will
be increased to 20,000 pieces weekly as soon as a sufficient number of looms can be changed to'make the reqtiired widths.'
