Gain in net earnings. Sl6l%o ~
The April expenses heve not as yet been received
but will show the same ratio of reduction, swelling the
increase of net earnings for the first four months
of the year to upward of 100000. The expenses of
February, 1851 were large in consequence of heavy
purchases fuel and unusual snow and ice obstruc
tons The force Of employees has been largely d.
minished and the pay-rolls have been reduced, not
only from this but from the lower price Of labor
The track is stated TO be in rstrste order throughout
and the equipment in excellent condition. The mana
gers look for better net result from this years work
than in 1851 notwithstanding the general stagnston of
business.

New-Yok and New Haven Rsirosd, for the transport

thereof paid to the Harlem Railroad Company, and

THE NEW PITTSBURGH LOAN.

To The Editor Of The " u Tribune.
Sir: notice with much satisfaction, from your
Saturdays edition, taat Pittsburgh City is IN the
market for loan of $50 600, on cent bonds, due
in h 90 or IS years. to suit purchasers; the object OF
the loan being to raise money TO pay oil bonds falling
due for municipal debt.
face stupidity had ever seen. l caunot, however,
on sober second thought, retain this idea, and now
hail the with satisfaction, as the first step TO-
ward honesty az the best policy. Surely the goa
people of Pittsburgh cannot have meant what they
publish-cannot for an instant have imagined that
there takers for their bonds while they repudiate
their railroad debts IL a municipal bond more be.
yond doubt than bond issued for railroad purposes
If the proceeds of the bonds for railroad purposes
municipal purposes be mi.asplied also If the rail-
road debt can be disputed why cannot the municipal
debt also be disputed Suppose the next city govern-
ment find fraudulent contracts end payments for num-
cipa purposes are the bonds less liable TO be disputed
than her railroad debt from which she has surely d-
rectly ard indirectly derived great benefit Consider
rg this and other points too numerous and serious to
quote here have come to the conclusion that this
application for new loan by Pittsburgh City, is sly
move the part of the city authorities toward getting
the citizens to acknowledge the rnilroad debit in
short infer the city authorities are assured off, and
deem it useless further disputng the legality OF the
railroad debt. They now want to show their fellow
citizens the good effect of reputation credit they
are no doubt as much convinced am that the city
has not credit enough to negotiate this loan After
this has been proved to them they will, perhaps take
steps to acknowledge the whole railroad debt on the
principle of honesty is the bsst Eosicy. therefore
hail the new proposed loan with great satisfaction.
