THE WEEK'S ELECTIONS.
The one
engrossing topic of the past few days
the result of
has been
Tuesday’s elections, which is surely wonder¬
ful
enough to he engrossing. That the tidal wave of
political reaction, which began in Ohio in October, should
sweep across the country, is not so remarkable, because
this had occurred before
;
but that it should be so em¬
phatic, even parting Massachusetts from her political
iuooring?; and giving as Governor to that staid old Com¬
by unusual conditions. “ When the crib is
low the animals kick,” says a proverb.
In hard times,
with wages low and work hard to find, dissatisfaction with
the powers that be is easily stirred and is not alwaysreasonable.
The discontented man fancies that some good
may come out of a change and feels sure that he will not
be any worse off ; even the far-back Long Island fisher¬
man, when fish won’t bite, unconsciously favors a change
in the government.
Hence, an “ opposition ” sweep was
natural and intelligible in 1874, 1870, or even 1878 ; but
the country is prosperous now—how is it, then, that we
are to explain it ?
Whoever turns his thoughts back over the record of
governmental doings for, say, two or three years, can see
much which should disturb even a busy and a patient people.
What doubt can there be that the country thrives and
grows in spite of the government for which it pays so pro¬
fusely? The number of men in Congress who are really
possessed or actuated by a feeling of official obligation
and responsibility, may, we fear, be counted without taxing
the arithmetic of the finger ends.
Of the subjects which
have really demanded attention from Congress, how many
have had it?
Of the measures which the public interest
required to have passed, how many have been? On the
other hand, is there not a dreary list of things done which
ought not to have been done—things untimely, uncalled
for, stupid, profligate, corrupt, vicious, and pregnant with
the power of perpetuating their own baleful kind?
Is it
not soberly true that Congress, and legislatures generally,
have ceased to adequately and really represent the sub¬
stantial elements which comprise the people? The question
seems absurd at first glance, and yet we must admit that
if this were not true—that is, if the people were not

would breakdown.
long tampering with the subject of cur¬
rency.
Consider the persistent and defiant refusal to re¬
the
lieve
country from suffering further the slow but sure
operation of the silver lunacy ; and, on the contrary,
the attempts to force silver upon the banks.
Consider the
coercive attempt in the Carlisle amendment; the prepos¬
terous bills to prohibit certification of checks ; the uncon¬
cealed desire to punish the banks for adhering to sound
money ; the doctrine that national banks are u creatures
of the government” and become fit subjects for discipline
if they demur to whatever the moralists in Congress see
fit to portion out to them, coupled with the other doctrine
that, as pets of the government, they are monopolists de¬
vouring the people.
Consider, on tho side of sins
of commission, such work as that of the pensions bill,
which simply goes beyond the power in language to fitly
and calmly characterize it.
As a sin of commission and
omission combined, consider the overslaughing of revenue
reform and tax reduction, and the sleeping tariff commis¬
sion ; the remedy for excessive surplus as found in increas¬
ing profligacy, not in diminished revenues.
It is quite true, and only just to admit, that the fault for
these sins is pretty evenly to be distributed. But the party

represent them—the order of society

probable—nay certain—that September is the last
an excess of merchandise imports
over exports.
The downward movement has run its course,
and a change has already taken place.
This is not so evi¬
dent from the New York figures, but it is to be remem¬
bered that at this period of the year New York does not
hold the same relative prominence in the export trade as at
other periods. The Southern ports do a large export trade
in cotton in the autumn, while some of our neighboring
ports ship freely of breadstuffs. However, the New Y ork
totals are the only figures we have got, and with proper
allowance they may be made to answer our present pur¬
pose.
Hence we give the following table, showing the
imports and exports at the port of New York for four

We may safely calculate the

As to the

41 per cent—this because the cotton movement is so
largely represented in the New York total. The cotton
exports were very heavy in October this year, no less than

We have received the
To the Editor
of The Chronicle—
The report readies us from all quarters that the Tariff Commission
will recommend no important changes in the rates of
duty as now levied.
We
forced to give some weight to a report so current and so unani¬
mous, and we do so with the greatest reluctance and regret, because
if such shall be the result of the six months’ labor of the Commissioners
are
it will prove
that they are simply the agents of the various rings in
whose interest the. present tariff was made, and by whoso operation the
industry of the country is to-uay hampered.
No honest aid intelligent man can give a single day’s attention to the
tariff as it stands, and be prepared to defend the monstrous tax
upon
iron and steel, the effects of which are felt by every industry and
every
individual in tlie land. Wliat excuse can there be for taxing salt in
bulk a higher ad valorem duly than champagne ? For
collecting nearly
one quarter of the whole customs revenue from an essential article of
food like sugar ?
For levying one hundred per cent duty on rice /
Do these duties protect the wages of laboring men?
Laboring men
want the essential articles of food, such as salt and sugar, as
cheap
as
they are in other countries. Iron and steel, the raw material of all
manufacturing industry, must not be excessively taxed for the benefit
of its few
producers.
If the Commission shall report in
,
favor of continuing these duties
if
they shall endorse this tariff substantially as it now is as the
all possible tariffs, the country will be continued in the
present suspicion that the Commission is simply a ring of the rings, the
agents of interested parlies, a part of the thing to be reformed.
No doubt the large majority of the Commission
will, with a smile, ac¬
cept tins verdict and hud nothing injurious to tlu.-ir established reputations
in the fact that they have accepted a pub ic trust and used it for
special
private benefit. But we have always believed that there was at least
one gentleman of their number whose
previous reputation would be
tarni.-died by such an allegation, and we trust and believe that even if
he should find himself alone, he will publish a
minority report stating
fairly the iniquities and defects of the present tariff, and recommending
such changes as the interest of the country at
large demands.

conspicuous for their heavy gains. In the case of
these latter, the increase is not quite so large in point of
amount, but almost as large in percentage, since it is
based on smaller total earnings.
The Gould roads have
particularly heavy earnings, and to these the enlarged cotton
movement in Arkansas and Texas must have been an
element of importance.
In fact, a larger cotton movement
was also a factor with many other Southern roads, and as
it is interesting to see what points gained most in this
respect, we subjoin our usual table, showing the receipts
of cotton during October at the Southern outports this

receipts this year than last, it also shows that
Galveston, Mobile, Savannah and Norfolk gained largely.
The increase at the latter point probably served to swell
the earnings of the Norfolk & Western, and also those of
the East Tennessee Virginia k Georgia.
The East Ten¬
nessee lately completed its
extension from Rome to
Macon, giving it, in connection with the Macon k Bruns¬
wick, which forms part of its system, a line all the way
to Brunswick; but the new
mileage does not count
in
the
earnings.
The Mobile k Ohio has a
small
increase
this
time,
due
probably to a
slight gain in its cotton movement. The Louisville k
Nashville records a very large augmentation in
earnings,
also brought about, no doubt, to a great extent,
by the
expansion in the volume of cotton traffic. This is evident
from the receipts of that staple at Mobile. Of the increase
of 27,870 bales at that port, it would appear that a
very
small amount only was contributed by the Mobiie k
Ohio,
almost the whole of it coming either from the Mobile k
Montgomery (Louisville k Nashville line) or from the
Alabama and Bigbee rivers.
We have not the figures for
the month, but for the five weeks ended November 3 the
Mobile k Ohio delivered at Mobile this year 31,8G7 bales,
against 30,691 bales, or scarcely 1,200 bales more, while
the
Mobile k Montgomery delivered
34,413 bales,
against 8,246 bales, an increase of over 26,000 bales.
All the Texas roads—International & Great
Northern,
Texas k Pacific, Gulf Colorado k Santa Fe—have
materially enlarged their earnings, under the heavy cotton
crop in Texas and its free marketing as reflected by the
great gain in the cotton receipts at Galveston. Richmond
& Danville is doing very well, and so are the various lines
embraced in the same system, like the Charlotte Columbia
k Augusta, the Columbia & Greenville, and the
Virginia
Midland. The Chesapeake & Ohio is again conspicuous for
its very decided gain over the previous
year, and every

The trade fer wheat in the
early part of the week, though
quiet, was tolerably film iu tone. Bad weather was cited as a
reason for this
partial firmness ; but notwithstanding that the
weather has become still more
unpropitous, the trade closes
with
a
very unsatisfactory appearance for producers. Our
imports continued on a
large scale, but as the exports from
J2£jican ports have declined considerably, the supply esti¬
mated to be afloat to the
United Kingdom is now only 1,630,000
quarters of wheat and
150,000 quarters of flour. The supply of

a
REPORTS.
(For the year ending Sept. 30, 1882.)
The report states that the increase of business made it imper¬
ative to largely increase the equipment, and extensive purchases
of cars and locomotives were made in addition to what could
be built in the shops. Six powerful locomotives have been
built or purchased. Twenty of the old passenger cars in use
the opening of the road in 1846, and in recent years used
chiefly for excursion business, have been sold, and in their
place twenty-two new cars of the best modern style and of
upon
large capacity have been purchased or built.
Eighty box
freight
cars and two-handled coal cars have been purchased.
The amount paid for new equipment, after deducing all sums
received for equipment sold, has been $273,659, a much larger
amount than has ever before been expended in a single year.
The whole of this has been charged to the expense and improve¬
and while the equipment account

on
has not been increased the value of the locomotives and
is
cars
greater than at the beginning of the year. To provide for the
growing business of the company a further increase will be
necessary in the next year, and contracts have already been
made for new cars and engines. The cost, however, will not
probably exceed one half of that expended the nast year. The
company has now about twenty-three miles of aouble track out
of fifty miles between Boston and Fall River, and the directors
contemplate the necessity within a few years of completing the
double track for the whole distance. It can probably be done
out of income without interfering with reasonable dividends.

the Fall River line to New York has been prosperous during
the year, and a dividend of eight per cent on the shares of the
steamboat coinpanjq owned by this corporation, has been
received. The new' steamship Pilgrim is nearly completed, and
will be placed on the line next year. A new freight steam¬
boat has also been built, and will be ready for business by
January 1, 1883. It now seems that the investment of the
in the stock of the Steamboat Company will prove
satisfactory.
Notes havmg more than one year to run have been issued
during the year to nearly the extent authorized the last year,
and it may be necessary during the coming year for the conve¬
nient transaction of the business of the company to issue such
notes; and the directors ask for authority to issue notes or
bonds to an amount not exceeding $500,000. The attention of
company
stockholders is called to the fact that the balance of interest
paid has been reduced the past year by the sum of $41,457.
Of all the expenditures made in the past year, nothing has
been charged to construction except for the purchase of land
and for the cost of the railroad from Raynham to Taunton,
including freight yard at Taunton. These charges amount to
$287,364. The dividend was increased in July to 3^2 per cent,
which can probably be maintained in future at the same rate,
unless unforeseen accidents prevent.

Boston & Providence Railroad.
the Union Freight Railway and the preferred stock of the
Providence Warren & Bristol Railroad have been credited to
interest account. The increase in expenditures has been
chiefly
due to the increase of mileage, higher taxation, renewals, re¬
pairs and additions to property. Taking advantage of the larger
receipts, many improvements heretofore delayed have been for¬
warded. Small parcels of land have been purchased in Provi¬
dence, Pawtucket, Readville, lloxbury and Boston. At Pawtucket
a freight house, greatly needed, and at Dedham a new
passen¬
ger station and locomotive house, have been finished and occu¬
pied. An iron highway bridge has been built at Canterbury
Street in Roxbury, rendered necessary by the extension of the
third track. The heavy ledge of rocks near by has been re¬
moved. Next year the third track will be completed from Mt.
Hcpe to Readville, and put in operation as soon as practicable.
All the improvements and additions to rolling stock and
prop¬
erty have been charged directly to expense account. The main
line is now entirely equipped with steel, and there are 12
miles of steel rails in the branches.

Western Union
Telegraph.—The General Term of the
Superior Court of New York City has rendered decisions in the
two suits of William S. Williams and Rufus Hatch agaiDst the
Western Union Telegraph Company and others, which came up
appeal from judgments of Judge Truax, dismissing the com¬
plaint in each case. The suits were brought by the"plaintiffs,
as Western Union stockholders, to
prevent the consummation of
the famous consolidation agreement between the Western
Union, American Union and Atlantic & Pacific telegraph com¬
panies, to have the same declared invalid, and also to invalidate
the issue of $15,526,590 of Western Union stock issued as a
dividend. In the Williams suit two opinions are written, the
opinion of the Court being by Judge Freedman. Judge Arnoux
■writes a concurring opinion, and Judge Russell also concurs in
the result in both cases. The Court reverses the judgments of
•Judge Truax and orders new trials in both suits. Judge Freed¬

represent its investment of earnings in the purchase, construction and

these earnings are or were due to, or should have been divided among,
the shareholders, an acceptance of a stock that represents them will be
a release by the shareholders of the earnings, and is the; same in effect
as if there had been a severance of the earnings from the other property
of the corporation and a delivery of tlie shareholders and a return to the
company in the shape of capital. This theory would, upon the facts of this
case, be open to no objection.so long as the scheme involved in ithus the
requisite sanction of a certain proportion of shareholders if there were no
statutory obstacle to it.
But in its advocacy the /respondents are con¬
fronted with the following statute : “It shall not he lawful for the direc¬
tors or managers of any incorporated company in this State to make
dividends excepting frqpi the surplus profits arising from the business of
such corporation; and it shall not be lawful for the directors of any such
company to divide, withdraw or in any way pay to the shareholders, or
any of them, any part of the capital stock of such company, or to reduce
the said capital stock without the consent of the Legislature.”
“It seems too clear for argument that in the face of 11»at statute the
issue of the stock to the shareholders of the Western Union Company
cannot be upheld as a dividend from surplus profits, because the profits
were no longer on hand.
They were converted into oilier property.

whether the agreement of .Tan. 19, 1881. as a whole, and when all the
objects and purposes to be accomplished by it are considered, is not in
other essential particulars in excess of the authority conferred by the
..statute, nor the question coucerning the legality or illegality of the

From the foregoing it will he seen that, notwithstanding the most
liberal interpretation of the facts, and the most liberal construction of
the statutes in relation to the incorporation and regulation of telegraph
“
companies, and the many assumptions made in favor of the Western
Union Company', and the most rigid restriction of the standing of utc
plaintiff in court, enough is left of plaintiff’s case to call for the interpo¬
sition of the court on grounds affecting public interests.” * *. *maintiff has demonstrated that the proposed gratuitous division oi
$15,526,590 of stock among the shareholders of the Western Union Com¬
pany is wholly illegal. No action on the part ot directors or stockholders
or both combined, could overcome this difficulty, and as the illegality
complained of entered into and permeatedthe agreement of January
1881—inasmuch as by its terms the capital stock of the Western Union
Company was to be first diluted to the extent of the proposed gratuitous
issue, and payment for the properly rights and franchises of the veiiUtH
companies to be made in the stock thus depreciated—the agreement
itself cannot be sustained. The action was properly brought by tne

following table is
of indicating the actual movement each
week from the plantations. Receipts at the
outports are some¬
times misleading, as they are made up
more largely one year
than another at the expense of the interior stocks. We reach
therefore, a safer conclusion through a comparative statement
like the following. In reply to frequent
inquiries we will add
that these figures, of course, do not include overland
receipts or
Southern consumption; they are
simply a statement or the
weekly movement from the plantations of that part of the crop
which finally reaches the market through the out-ports.

coming in during the last week at the rate
of 500 to 2,000 cantars per day. Some lots contain more dead
than last year, but generally speaking the
quality so far is
satisfactory, particularly Mansurat. Cotton from Zagazig is
rather disappointing. All the leading firms
agree that the
plant has suffered from insufficient irrigation and by worms,
and there is hardly any putting forward estimates of more than
2% million cantars as the result ofthis year’s crop.”
Jute Butts, Bagging, &c.—There are no
special features to
note in the bagging market, and business shows no
increase;
orders continue to be for small lots
only, as under present con¬
ditions buyers are not disposed to take more than
required for
present wants. Prices under the. competition of makers con¬
tinue to rule in buyers’ favor, and at the close the
asking rates
are 7/|c. for
lbs., 7/£e. for 1% 1 bs., 8Mc. for 2 lbs. and
9%c. for standard grades, but an offer of a shade less for a
quantity would probably be accepted. Butts are in about the
same position as when we last wrote.
Prices are about steady,
with a moderate demand for small
parcels, and holders are ask¬
ing 2 7-16@2 9-lGc. for paper grades and
2y£@2%c. for bag¬
ging qualities. '
Comparative Port Receipts and Daily Crop
Movement.—
A comparison of the
port movement by weeks is not accurate
as the weeks in
different years do not end on the same
day of
the month. We have
consequently added to our other standing
tables a daily and
monthly statement, that the reader may
constantly have before him the data for seeing the exact relative
movement for the

especially important during the height of the speculative
fever some months ago. The foreign markets are in a more
encouraging state, however, and the increased export move¬
ment here of late may perhaps be accepted as the precursor
of the active foreign trade which has been so long deferred.

scarcity, while options have declined several cents. There has
been a better demand for cash corn, and the fact that there has
been very little available has given holders a decided advantage,
though options, by reason of the increased movement of the crop
during the last fortnight, have been depressed. The predictions
of speculators that the receipts at Chicago during the first fort¬
night of this month would be small have not thus far been
realized. The weather at the West, however, has for some
days been less favorable than could be wished, and complaint
is made at Chicago that the quality of the late receipts has not
met expectations.

Wheat has latterly been in good damand for export, and
though in the fore part of the week there was a steady de¬

activity, and prices have advanced to about the figures of a
week ago. The supply has been gradually increasing at Chi¬

shown considerable caution, though operators on the opposite
tack have been equally cautious about taking large risks. The
