The above, by comparison with the
revenue of July, 1857, SD rvs a total decrease
of SIC. 53l %. OF which SO, 635 GS is on the
main stem, and SS4S SO is on the North
western branch There is, however, al in.
crease on the Washington branch earnings
of 1852 90, which, deducted from the two
items of decrease above noted, shows the
nett falling of as before stated. The gross
revenue in July of last year: from the three
lines of road. amounting to SAL SOY 81, OF
Which ST. ,25l 90 was from the Northwestern
line, that being the first month in which any
revenue was derived from that work. While
the revenues of the Baltimore and Ohio road
are thus shown to have decreased 10 the
gross, it should not be forgotten that the very
large reduction which has been made IN the
expenses and outlays in its different depart
ments must greatly counterbalance the e.
fects of the smaller receipts, ard it might be
reasonably expected to modify the net re-
suits.
The subject of free passes on the road was
introduced, and during an extended discus

We read in the Ost. Deutsche Post: The
Sultan is seriously i'll. Letters from Con-
stautinople mentioning the fact, state that
the Turks are deeply moved. The mosques
are crowded with the faithful, who offer
prayers for his recovery. Abdul Medjld Is
more beloved by the people than were any OF
his ancestors; even the political errors OF
which he il accu sed by the old Turkish party
are attributed to bis goodness OF heart. Inc
difficulties which now surround Iurkey can
not bu. be aggravated by the Suitan's III,
ness" The Coustantinople correspondent OF
the Daily News, writing on the lo!h' says:
"Tbe fourth son of the Sultan died yester-
day morning"
Hon. John NJ. Bolts, of Virginia, ATTENDED

elled in Europe, and he relished the German
character. The Germans were the best or
dered and most intellectually pesceable peo-
ME of modern Europe. Mr.. B. after some
further remarks, proposed sentiment in
which the North and South were frsternally
blended, and resumed bis seat amid loud
applause.

ALEXANDRIA,:
FRIDAY MORNING. ADJUST 10, 1855.

A charge having been made that the gov
ernment officials 10 Washington, have to pay
q certain amount, out Of their salaries, Tor
the purposes of the Democratic party, the
Union thus answers -
1--WE zee it reported, We do not care upon
what authority, that tax is levied upon the
persons employed 10 the government service
and the payment thereof exacted. we are
quite ignorant of the authority upon which
this payment is demanded or the purposes to
which it 10 applied when received. We
trust, however, that whatever may be thus
collected may be wisely aud economically
applied to advance the interests of the demo-
cratic party in its great struggle with the
opposition. 1t is said that from one quarter
to ons.half of one per cent on the salaries OF
officials is thus extracted. Now, without
knowing anything of the alleged tax, and
With no belief in its existence, as a general
thing, we have just this to say 90 the sub
ject. If there is person in the. public ser
vice who does not voluntarily contribute the
amount, at least, of two dollars and a hall u
year 90 each thousand dollars of his salary,
to support the cause of democracy, he should
be dismissed at once and bis place filled by
one who is patriotic and liberal enough to
double the contribution"
The public must judge, whether this an
swer 10 q sufficient vindication of the prac-
tice to which it refers. There are surely
many who will dissent--snd who will never
allow that it is conformsble to the practice Of
the best days of the republic. or to propriety.

their own institutions without interic-
renee from Congress, which had assu-
med in 1890 the right to pEescribe to
them that they shonld not. In 1920
Congress said, mo matter il every man
in Kansas, if every man in Minnesota,
desires TO make his institutions to suit
himself, on the subject of slavery, he
shall not be allowed to do SO, but we
will do it for them" Congress assum-
ed "a q matter Of conscience, that it
was its duty to do this for the people.
To that We objected. We denied the
power and the policy. Upon the
question Of power We have been main
tanned by the Courts, the expounders
of the laws, about whom the Senator
from Illinois (Mr. TrumbulD seems 70
think so little. On the policy of the
measure we have been defended by the
highest tribunal known to this country
the people.

Il had intended to give your readers .
summary Of the acts passed by the Terrific
rial legislature but save the bills have
already noticed, there IL nothing but stack
Of town charters Some four hundred such
special bills or laws were passed, and only
about dozen general laws large por-
ton Of the acts Of the cid Border Ruffian
Legislature, as it is called, still exist as the
law of the land. The Free State party de-
nour ced all those laws without limitation
and without exception. yet when they got
the power they were too busily engaged in
schemes Of personal aggrandizement to EN-
act new laws. The criminal laws still ex-
list, the jury law still exists. The legisla-
ture went through the form Of repealing all
laws enacted by the first Legislature; but
that was mere farce. for the repeal was
only to go into effect when new laws were
enacted in the place of the old ones

Uncle Sam - q Landlord

This gentleman, who can hardly be called
"old, has in his day owned good-sized
farm, and has upon the whole disposed Of it
advantageously When he first came of
age he found it pretty much in the condition
Of an Irish estate Of the early part Of the
9TH century, II being overrun with tenants
who did not cullivst and paid 10 rents bu.
kept up a sort Of Donnybrook Fair the year
round. He has since been gradually clearing
the estate, very much In the style Of the
Duchess Of Sutherland in Scotland, and the
Earl Of Lucan in Ireland. cleared theirs,
viz, BY driving off the incumbents and bur-
ming their wigwams, with this difference.
however, tnat Uncle Sam always give his
tenants at will a new piece Of land when he
took the old from them. At each remove,
however. the wasted numbers required
smaller piece, and the process has gone on
until the estate is pretty much cleared as
the red skins the white sons Of the Great
made it more valuable and available as they
have progressed. Public roads, canals and
railroads have opened up, and consolidat-
ed regions before Inaccessible, and made
every acre subject TO the plough. Some
idea Of this respectable farm may be gath
cred from the following figures:
Square mites. Acres

- Russian Empire 0ai,s,9 3o6 7s7, 76O
Total. 3,T25 600 2,834,0DO loo
That is good range of estates, but Uncle
Sans are as follows:
