Prorn o,r Own Cor..pondent
A1B.sY, Wednesday, Jan. 3, 1855.
The exhibition made in the House to-day, by the
votes growing out OF the usual invitation extended -
the clergy of this city 10 oPeo the daily sessions Of
that body with prayer, wa somewhat surprising ~
all outsders The resolution offered by hr. L. L
Leigh. Of New.York was drawn up in the usual
manner. worded almost precisely a. all its predeces
sor. for years we're and contrary to custom, Wa
laid over for one day. Mr.. Leigh called 1t up ~
dsv. a. be Yves in duty bound, and moved its acop-
ton. There necessity for early action Tor cier-
gymen had already off, red-OIe OF the reformed
Dutch and the other Of the Presbyterian denonina-
tious end oficiafed slmo-t without invliatpn-in-
deco without the sanction Of the House. Under
those circuir stances il was somewhat surprising %
wiire,s an objection to he immediate passage when
offered and that surprise ~as increased when Mr. ).
Il Cole of Steuben and offered substitute,
making H. in effect, Discretionary with the Speaker
AZ 10 who should Oliciae. This movement. 81 plain
in H. direction Immediately brought ae-sr-. Wate,
bury Nundy snd Keefe to the floor, who, with al
defereuce TO the Speaker denounced the proposition
az unworthy Of the intel. cca: body IN which an in
dorsom,n Mt for it was sought. They were followed by
Mr. Baker, of Montgomery, who wa unmea-ured in
his osapprova Of the principle contained in the prop
osi,op. and others who took similar grounds. No
one took the other side of the one poor
word was there 10 be offered to explain even, much
less TO defend the than questionable innovation.
Proportions were made in the shape OF amen iments
varying the wording so Gs 10 make them a. accept
able as possible, by different members; but these,
holding fat to the principle Of making the invitation
general were voted down. The friends of universal
federation were willing TO allow the Speaker TO select
the officiating clergymen but their resolutions CON
tanned the fatal words " from the various denomlns-
'tions.
The debate was grosing warm, and, the amend
mept Of Mr.. Cole having been adopted /; was
thought the sooner the matter disposed of, the
better. So Mr.. A. G.. Williams Of New-York,
moved the previous question upon the adopted
amenduen t. This was ordered, and the resolution,
as amended, adopted. The following is the vote
classified. The Democrats are IN italics:

ANIMAL REPORT or THE STXTH-AH.
RAILROAD COMPANY

The Animal Report OF the slIth-sv Railroad Com
psny for the year 1884, shows that during that period
the track Of the road tas been extended ON the SIXTH
ay 10 and through Forty fourth.st, thence through
the Company's property to Forty thirdst., and
through Forty-rhlrd-st. 10 the avenue, with single,
double and triple track. This expenditure, it 10
stated was unav oidable, inasmuch as the City au-
thortes had forbidden the Company longer encurn-
berng The street with their cars.
The mortgage Indebtedness Of the Company ls an-
matured mortgages on tho real estate of the Com
psny amounting to sl2, 700. The mortgages receiv
able amount to 1890, ieavDg the mortgage deb
reduced TO e. $50. To offre, this balance, the Com
pspy b. Ia surI us lots yet uDsod whieh cost 81 ZOO
The expenditures capital STOCK account, now
amount 10 s776 226 so. This sum is represented by
$50 COO capital paid in, by 81 40 bsaace mortgages
and by s2l $50 so borrowed from the earnings fund
The report further says that during the psst year the
receipts from passengers have amounted % s22J 900
80. The expenses were siss 4oj 10. Net proht,
S. 2o6 &C. As the fiscal year does not close until

year, 81. 4l2 49, msy be added to show the amount
applicable o the rtxt dividend say cal $50 Oh lees
the dividend, s2G $50 paid in August Could this
Company have charged omnibus fare, 81 cents, NE
Dst profits Of tho year would have been more than
doubled. The foisl receipts from travel anoated, IN
1883 TO s26f s32 3G-beiDg s4l ii 81 more than 10
1908 Dulig DS past lt6 sno ousbcss VI tho iVss
has therefore been much smaller than the previous
wear The receipts Of the year 1883 we're largely
swelled by the sdveDtous circumstance Of the Crys-
tai Palace TRACTION, which drew crowds who would
not otherwise have travelled over the road
In regard 10 motive power, the report states that
the substitution OF mues, as lees expensive power
than bOrtes tried and as far ~ i hes yet been
po,.ibBe TO effect the change OF force from horses 70

frome it, At THE time the change Of power b. been

ses-in whose place l3l mules are doing their work.
ssvirg the feeding Of 81 head. The amount OF food
consumed by molas found 10 be much less per hesa
than that consumed by hersSs.
The company complain Of the hard times snd On
tor In detailed s'ats ment Of several channels, via:
motive power, abclsbment OF the free ilst reaocooa
which large dimnution in the cost Of working the
road may be made.
Among the proposed savings for 1855, We notice
abe entire abolition Of free tickets and the whole rsse
of dead heads.
