The principal Railroads-The1r financial
Position.

A pretty good idea can he formed Of the
position and prospects Of most of orr p-um;-
nent lines Of railroads, from the annexed ex-
hibii OF their financial condition and re-
quiremcts:-
New York and Erie Railroad-On its last
legs and wants money badly.
New York CeEtral-S5oo 900 decrease in
earnings in two months, and probably will
pass next dividend
h"rlem-Wants loan; cannot pay ex,
penses.
Heading Protested under the STAY law ::
wants loan.
Michigan Central-Iust made loan
Michigan Southern-Full of trouble. and
wants u lean.
Illinois Central-.Wants loan; road can.
not pay expenses.
Cleveland and rittsburg-Gone through;
in lad way
Galena aud Chicago-Will probably pass
next dividend.
Milwaukee and Mississippi-U sed up
La Crosse ana NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
along; extending road; wants money.
buffalo and State line-Wil probably
pass dividend.
Cleveland and roledo-Will pass next
dividend; just issued new bonds at so per
cent.
This list contains the leading lines of rail
road in the country. 1t Will be seen that
they nre all IN bad way, and likely to get
worse. IL IS very seldom that our railroads
are not absolutely cramped in their opera
tons Tor money; and in the best of times
they are borrowers. Capital stock, funded
floating Indebtedness, are continually in.
crea. ing, while lie maximum Of net earnings
in most OF the old companies has long since
been tonc ed. The bondholders in these
railroads have not, as general thing, much
to lear. In some of them the lower grades
81 bonds must continue deprecated, and in
liquidation nay be seriously cut down from
their par value; but the mortgage bond
holders are pretty safe, and will, in the end
absorb the entire p operty. This may no.
be accomplished without long and tedious
nti9aiion. but it must result in annihilatinp
the capital stock in every case. Such a
process would reduce the cost of the works
IN the hands of the new owners. and then
they might be proftably operated.
Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1857-12-22

INDEFINITELY PosrpOSED.-The Senate Of
the State of South Carolina on the Sth inst
without debate, disposed of the report aud
resolutions in favor of re-opening the slave
trade by indefinite postponement We can
not but express satisfaction at the removal
from the Council Of State OF a proposition
fraught with so much danger to Southern
union and harmony at aperiod requiring
every influence to promote them. We have
on former occasion expressed our views
upon the subject, and did we not deem its
discussion mischievous would do so now
We refer again to the very admirable ex
position of what we conceive the true views
on this subject, in the minority report Of
the House Of Representatives, BY J. john
stan Pettigrew, Esq. As coon as we can
conveniently dc SO We will insert it in full
in Our columns, as it needs only circulation
to bear to all unprejudiced minds that it
emhodies the true interests and policy of
the Southern planter.-Soxth Carolinaian.
