We have agreed for a privilege granted, for a given number of years, to pay a given sum. We have made arrangements to pay the money at the time specified. Meantime we have entered upon the supposed enjoyment of the privilege. But we find there is no privilege to be enjoyed. Must we keep the bargain on our side, when it is not fulfilled on the other ? Such is the situation as it is confidently and with much assurance presented by time. ever, to be so some. To national banks, that lows however, the conclusion here drawn seems to all shall : Section 5,214. — In lieu of all existing taxes, every association shall pay to the treasurer of tlie United States, in the months of January and Juljp, a duty of one-half of one per centum each half-year upon the average amount of its notes in circulation, and a duty of one-quarter of one per centum each half-year upon the average amount of its deposits, and a duty of one-quarter of one per centum each half-year on the average amount of its capital stock beyond the amount invested in United States bonds. Treasurer Spinner made a rule in 1864, which was accepted by the Department and by all the national banks for several years without question, that the rebatie allowed underthe foregoing law should be estimated the par value of the bonds. The reason was at obvious when Government bonds were selling at par; but when they advanced to a premium, efforts began to be us, the tax made to have Mr. Spinner's ruling set aside, and to allow the national banks to deduct from their taxable capital the exact amount which their bonds had actually be far from self-evident. Without doubt, reparation should be made for the violence used in driving off the cost them in cash. Mr. E. H. Rollins, president of the Massachusetts fishermen, and very likely these local laws Centennial Bank of Philadelphia, took an active part in may require considerable modification, and, perhaps, this agitation, and showed that while he was Commisrepeal. But there are two considerations which we sioner of Internal Revenue, and since that period, the should not lose sight of in the discussion. The first is taxes on the capital of State banks and private bankers that Ave have not by the Treaty obtained the contract were not assessed on the Spinner rule, b it the banks for the absolute or exclusive enjoyment of these fishing were albwed a rebate of the whole of the cost value of grounds. Such a statement is a very loose interpreta- their United States bonds in making up their returns The arrangement, as we understand it, is that we were to enjoy the right, but only " in common with" British subjects. Consequently, the English argument will be that we only obtain, by the Treaty, privileges equal to those then enjoyed by their own subjects; in other words, as every one by a local statute in existence at the time the Treaty was , signed was prohibited from fishing on Sunday, and also from using nets between November and April, we take the privilege, bought subject to those conditions, which, we must add, appear to be perfectly reasonable regulations. The other point we should bear in mind is, that the new complication can be in no way connected with the payment of the award. We signed the treaty and we have agreed to pay the money let us do it without any more making of faces, and then call upon Great Britain to enforce our rights, whatever they may be.

A bank which had paid to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue the tax on its capital, but, in making up its assessment, had by mistake deducted the par value of its United States bonds instead of the cost price, which included a premium. The bank claimed a refund of the tax paid upon the difference between the actual cost price of the bonds and the face value thereof. Commissioner Raum, finding that the claim was in accordance with the rule which had always prevailed in the Internal Revenue Bureau, both during his adminigtration and previously, endorsed the claim of the savings bank and recommended that the said excess should be refunded. referred to The Attorney-General, when the case was him by Secretary Sherman, made, July 27, 1878, an adverse report, and argued "that the amount invested in United States bonds should be ascertained by taking their face value."

Chicago railroadi, that the Attorney-General Mr. Secretary Sherman, this was done. The result was that the AttorneyGeneral has lately rendered a second opinion. It was published October 21, and reverses his former opinion, holding that " the amount of capital to bo deducted is to bo ascertained by taking the price paid for the United State.s bonds," bat " that accrued interest should not be calculated," as that is a " mere temporary investment which is replaced as soon as the interest becomes the question, and, at the request of actually paid." has been officially good a right to recover a part of what they have paid as had the savings bank above referred to. Assuming this to be the case, it was hastily concluded by imaginative attorneys that the claims in question would not just as run back to the beginning of the history of the national banks, during which period these banks have paid six altogether upon their capital.

The suspensions are for heavy amounts, and In a certain circle Numerous failures ; widespread disaster, will he verified. During the present week there has been a decided revival of confidence, though it has not led to mucli increase of business. In bank share;, there has been what some describe as a panic, but which is certainly calculated prove unfortunate to those timid holders who have, for an unknown reason, been recklessly parting with their poperty. to disastrous result of the business of the City of Bank, and the heavy which prices have calls fallen, $I»4,!S6,525 IS however, has been attracting the atten- tion of buyers, but not to a aul&cient extent to absorb the lar^d which have been recklestly thrown upon the of shares The market f depressed. The electric market. gas been very prominent feature of discussion, and the holders of such -hares have been selliog largely at a time when buyers are doubting if it is wise to make purchases. It is not known to what extent Mr. Edison has been successful in applying the electric light to thoroughly practical purposes but numerous experiments are being made in London, and those qualified to express an opinion say that it will be only possible unless Mr. Edison has made a grand discovery to make use of it for illuminating large open spaces, which are numerous in large towns such as exist in this country and on tha Continent. Ia front of the Mansion Ilouse in this city tberx is • large open space, which up to a late hour at night Is crowded with vehicular traffic and it has been decided by the Court of Common Council, this week, to make the experiment of lighting this important thoroughfare by electricity. The Metropolitan Board of Works are also trying experiments in several parta of London, and there seems to be no doubt that the application of the electric light will be made to the open spaces io whieli increased light is necessary to the public convenience and safety. But we have yet to learn that there is any economy in the process, or that the electric current can be broken at fixed poiota at which a light is necessary. This is supposed to be Mr. Edison's secret, which he is now in the act of patenting in this country; and naturally the shareholders in gas oompaniea are anxioaa to know if such an important result haa been attained. The gaa companies have, however, yet to act their part; gaa abares have for many years been paying large dividends, viz., 10 per cent per annnm, with safety. At the present time, the priee of cas la moat parts of the country is 8s. 6d. per 1,000 feet, and It is thos evident that companies can make a large redaction la — 73 68 $229,676,15'i 31 mo* Mdaya Oct. 18.

The bubble in Western Union which inHate<l the price to 103 has been followed by a collapse to 93^ this afternoon, with the last sale at 94f and the public still remains in doubt whether the surplus will be "capitalized" or not.

Wabash, Union Pacific, Hannibal & St. Joseph, Kansas Pacific, and some of the other "fancies," have at times shown mnch strength. Erie has been among the weakest stocks, and it is stated that the shares received from London, with assessment receipts attached, have not been accepted at the office of the Fanners' Loan & rust Company, on the ground that they were "irregular," not being properly stamped, and they will probably have to be sent back to London to be properly stamped.

The local business shows a slight increase in tonnage and a decrease, in revenue. The foreign business shows a very flattering increase although handled at a very low rate per ton.

The business of your road was seriously injured during the winter of '77 and '78, by the heavy and continued rains, which made the roads leading to the various stations utter impassable for many weeks. The coal business was also greatly diminished by the lack of demand for coal, occasioned by the general depression and stagnation of business of all kinds, and in consequence of the open winter.

In 1870 the ordinary capital of the companies was £239.282,150, so that the increase in 1877 to £265,041,233 amounts to £35,759,083, or about 15'6 per cent. In the same period, however, the guaranteed and preferential share capital increased from £158,692,084 to £237,048,153. an increase of £78,356,069, and about 49-4 per cent and the loans and debenture stock increased from £141,934,439 to £171,969,602, an increaee of £30,0.35,333, and about 31-3 per cent.

The from railway working, excluding miscellaneous receipts of various kinds, amounted to £60,644,057, or an increase of nearly J of a million over the previous year the total receipts ; working expendituie.at the same time, amounted to £33,820,095, or an increase of .£347,366 over the previous year; and the net earnings amounted to £27,823,962, or an iocrease of £378,828 over the prtvious year. This last increase is at the rate of 1'4 per cent only, while the increase of capital, as we have seen, amounted to about 2'4 per cent. Those are the net earnines from railway working alone. The corresponding fagures, including the entire earnings of railway companies from mis cellanenue sources, exhibit much the same changes, although the amounts and percentages are rather larg-er. The gross receipts were £63. 073,328, tlie working an increase of £757,553 over the previous year expenses were £33,857,978, an increase of £333,469 over the previous year; and the net earnings were £39,115,350, which is an increase of £435,084. In consequence of the increase of capital, however, ihe percentage of the increased net earnings to the total share and loin capital is rather lower than it was the year previous, being 4 33 as'compared witli 4'36 per cent, while last year was also one of decline. The total interest and dividend thus appears as £39,855,415, or in the proportion of 4'43 per cent on the total capital, as compared with the above sum of £39,115,350, being tbe net earnings from the whole working of railways, which is in the proportion The following statement shows the rates of of 4'33 per cent. interest and dividend paid on the undermentioned ordinary, guaranteed and preferential capital, and loans and debenture stocks, for the year 1877 INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS ON BRITISn RAILWAY CAPITAL IN 1677.

The increase of receipts apparently is divided in pretty equal proportions between the passenger and goods traffic. The receipts from passenger traflio amounted to £26,534,110, or £370,559 more than in 1876. The receipts from goods traffic amounted to £34,109 947, or £33-5 630 more than in 1876. It appears that these results have been obtained along with a larger proportionate increase of passenger train mileage tlian of goods train mileage. The passenger train mileaee was 109,675,000 njiles, or 3,750,000 miles (being di per cent) more ilian in 1876. The goods train mileage was 107,400,000 miles, or 1,301,000 miles (being nearly 1 15 per cent) more than ia 1876. The receipts per train mile from passenper traffic liave accordiusly fallen in 57-44i. while the from 58-68d. in 1877, receipts per 1876 to train mile from goods traffic were 578d. in 1876 and ';5'6Sd. in 1877. The increase in the passenger traffic has thus, in all probability, not been beneficial in the way of an increase of net earnings to the railway companies, the increase of 3^ per cent in the working being far mote than double the percentage increase of passenger receipts.
