The longest road is the New York Central, 55G
miles, total cost and equipment thirty millions, and
last dividend eight per cent. The shortest IS the
Erie and North east, 20 miles; cost and equip
mcnt seven hundred and fifty thousand, and last
dividend 10 per cent. The largest dividend is
made by the Gacna and Chicago road, and the
smallest by the Raleigh and Castor. 1t therefore
appears from this statement abbreviated from the
American Railroad Journal Nay 22) that ninety
four completed roads make no dividend at all. Of
the whole number, only eight have not contracted
debts The debts are enormous, the lowest So
and the highest 81, ,GS1 ,46S; and it also appears
that twenty Of the companies have borrowed the
round sum of t,y0 hun0rcd millions Of dollars.
That the construction of such long lines of rail
WAYS has contributed immensely to the general
wealth Of the country there can be no question,
yet the pockets ofhe majority Of the sockholders
have suffered considerably. It is high time that
railroads should be built with funds contributed by
stockholders only It is we'll established that the
crisis from which we have but recently recovered
was partly preci itated by the financial condition OF
many Of the extensive railroad companies, and this
should be a warming to new concerns.

A SPECIMEN OF CORRUPTION.

The wholesale bribery operation carried on by
the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad Company,
with the Wisconsin Legislature, is one of the
darkest, damnng stains upon legislative body
upon a State-that has ever been brought to
light A million of dollars in stock bonds
was distributed to majority Of the members,
for the sole purpose of purchasing legislation favor
able to the interest of the railroad company, and
to the Black Republican Governor, Coles
Bashtord who was elected with majority OF the
LEGISLATURE, on the Maine law-Frce Sol-Rleeding
Kansas -Free-wool issues $4,000 was presented to
quiet his conscience, and Iut stop to a threat
ened veto. This pure "Republcan' Governor,
in order, we suppose, to make all hunk, insisted
that S15 000 of the amount should be potd an cash,
which was DONE His Private Secretary was the
recipient of $4,000 he being thought able, and,
of course willing for small consideration, to
help the thing along.
Such is "Republfcan' purity
Mr. Kilbourne, President of the La Crosse and
Milwaukee Railroad, testified before the commit
tee, regarding Governor Bashtord i'll the follow
ing delicate strain:
"That in consideration of the past and pros
pect of the future the company felt disposed to
extend to him pecuniary compliment, if he would
feel at liberty to accept Of it. He said that, with
the views and purposes expressed by me, he
should not feel at liberty to decline a compll-
mCnt OF the KIND, ana would accept IL cheeflully
[ then stated that would at early day place
in his hands the bonds of the company to the
amount of S50,0GO."
Furthermore, says kilbourne:
''Distncty stating to him at the time, that
wished the gratuity to have no influence upon
any official act which it might henceforth de-
volve Oh him hereafter to perform. On his part,
| believe he accepted it for the reason that he
thought the company could well afford to make
such donation without doing it any material
damage, while to him the sum was large enough
to confer real benefit (,D In pursuance OF this
of Gov. Bashford the bonds of the company to
the amount of S5G,000 and at later period

A SINGULAR ADVENTURES.

Last evening DIR. Vinton preached an eloquent
discourse to the young men of this city in st. Pauls
The Church was well filed by an attentive audi
ence of young gentlemen, few ladies also graced
the occasion with their presence. The discourse
was particularly addressed to young men, and the
temptations to which youth exposed were
forciblv set forth
Many of the young men fingered upon the
broad steps, the long congregation with thought
ful minds and softened hearts left the stately
edtce.
Among the congregation was a young woman
of some twenty years, who was iashionably cos
tuned in half mourning. As she passed out of
the gate into the broad street in front of the church
she accidentally dropped glove, and appeared to
be weeping. A white handkerchief was held to
her eyes, as she gracefully passed along. A
young man who had heard the discourse of DIR.
Vinton, was standing near the gate when the glove
was dropped, and the article which, in former times
a challenge to brave deeds, fell directly on his
patent feathers
| The Young man at once secured the glove and
fastened to restore it to its owner. The glove
was received and kind word of thanks given in
return A glistenng tear fingered in the black
eye of the recipient, and she said she so over
come by the discourse Of the speaker, that she
scarcely knew what she did Her tears then
flowed more bountifully than The young
man, who had also been sensibly affected by the
same discourse, deeply sympathised with the
beautiful stranger He spoke kindly to her and
she took his arm The parties walked around
our beautiful Common by the mellow light OF tho
young moon, and they had reached the front
of the State House, the young woman had dried
her weeping tears; and the young man found him
self the companion of fascinating young woman
with a Grecian face, sparkling black eye, and
hair which more than riyalled the wing OF the
raven in glossy blackness.
The parties then passed down Park street mall,
and lingering for few minutes rest took seat Oh
one of the benches near the of Park street.
The striking of the clock marked the hour of ten
This reminded them that they must leave to their
homes The young man says that he escorted her
to the residence ola well known citizen, not far
! from Pemberton Square where he left her, as he
supposed, ringing the door bell When he reach
ed his rooms he found that his portmonnaie was
missing-it contained S24 in bank bills and three
one dollar gold pieces.
This morning the victimzed young man called
at the house where he left his fearful friend, bat
it is scarcely necessary to add that such person
as his acquaintance of the evening previous was to
be found H. is Of the opinion that his pocket
was penetrated by the gloveess hand Of his fair
acquaintance while they were seated on Park
street mall although he stoutly ayers that they sat
at that respectful distance from each other which
seemed proper for their new and singular relation
to each other He also says that the sermon and
the adventure will be lesson for life to him
