The Stockholders, Meeting

OF the Memphis g. Charleston Railroad
Company was held in Huntsville on the 9th
inst. Maj JOHN ii. BILLS, of Bolivar, Tenn.
was made Chairman, and G. H. IVhamore and
w. B. figures appointed Secretaries.
From the able and satisfactory report read
by the President. SAM. TATE, ESD, we learn
that the Receipts of the road for the year
have been S964.4l0 65, the operating eXpen-
ses S44S. 272 S0-net earninge S5l6,l7 IS.
The gross receipts were but about S35 900
less than the estimates made in last report.
This, too, with short crop, a commercial
panic, and heavy expenses and loss of bust
ness from two floods. The total cost and
outfit of the road thus far have been So
024 .642 50, and the net earnings being
S5l6. 1877 50. the road has earned 6
57-I00 per cent upon its entire cost and outfit.
The amount paid by way of interest and
exchange last year was S249,S 73 10, which
deducted from the net earnings, leaves them
at S266,264 &c. The capital stock of the
road being 81, 25S,ll5 the net earnings are
thus equal to SIl $1,000 upon the capital
stock paid in, after paying interest and ex-
change.
The unded debt of road amounts to ST.
co., 900, consisting Of $i,093,000 due the
State Of Tennessee, and Sl6,600,000 of its
own Bonds issued. The floating debt OF the
road amounts to 1887 99I.S2. Its active
assets amount TO SI57,753, So. and its own
bonds unsold $4,000. Floating debt over
assets S60S.25S,2+. Amount yet to lie cx-
pended to equip the road S77, 1897, 50-which
will swell the floating debt to S6S6. 1874.
The amount of the total net earnings of
the road have been Sl,3I6.476.S2-of which
S651 ,S3l.42 have been expended in paying
interest, and S654, CAS- 40 have gone into con-
struction. This latter amount, at a proper
ttme in the opinion Of the Directors, should be
declaredin n stock dividend. thereby increa-
sing each stockholders stock to that extent
The past business of the road demonstrates
the fact that when the floating debt is paid
of, the stockholders may confidently expect
renumerating rate of interest on the capital
invested. It's business must uiiuue to in
crease and become very large and profitable
The stockholders have only 10 wait a year or
two longer, when they will begin TO reap what
they have sown -" nobly.

The mail facilities throughout the country
have been vastly improved within flew years
mast. and the present bead Of Post Office
Department is making every effort to make
them more speedy and punctual. We have
no fault to find or suggestion TO make IN re-
gard to the arrangement OF the leading mail
routes of the country. But we are so con-
stantly receiving complaints of the irregu-
larity of the mails, from our subscribers in
ylrious localities, that we feel assured, there
il vet room for great Improvement in the
transmission Of mail matter. These COM
ulaints almost universally come from interior
locaIities-places not in the line Of any OF
our great postal thorough fares. We there
fore infer that while increased attention is
bestowed on the main routes, along the rail-
roads, and stage lines linking railroads, the
minor routes are TO some extent neglected.
1t is thus in large belt of country north and
south of the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road, extending into Tennessee, Mississippi
and Alabama. So also in Arkansas and
NJ sissippi, in those regions lying between the
Mississippi river, and the stage routes Of the
the mails, we are told. never make schedule
time, but come in irregular instruments from
three to six weeks after date. This disagree
able state of affairs, is doubtless, mainly
attributable to the neglect of the Distributing
offices, whose chief attention is directed to
hurrying the mails through the principal
routes, leaving the zone horse" mails to
await their leisure and pleasure. Now,
this is all wrong. Every man who
receives a newspaper, or friendly or bust
ness correspondence, even in the farthest
rural districts, )" expects them to be delivered
according to the contract of the government;
and if he fails, complains and is justifiable.
The government undertakes to carry letters
and papers, and is bound. in justice, TO deliver
them by the regular route, which it establishes
for the purpose and in the usual time; and its
officers and agents are bound to carry out the
undertaking. The citizens are all alike in
terested in this matter, and one portion should
not be neglected because they happen to live
away from Railroad or Stage line. We
trust our industrious Mail Agent will ex-
anime into this business-and relieve us and
the public, if possible, of these continual
complaints and their causes.
While upon the subject, we may mention
tn It we have had complaints from the mails
at White Hill, in our neighboring county of
Sumner Sometimes the mail for that place
and others along the same road, are put into
the Stage that takes the upper route, there
being two Stage lines to Louisville. Thus
the mail in question goes to the point OF
meeting of the two lines, and must again re-
turn. We imagine this is the explanation, as
we know of no other. little circumspec-
ton on the part of the Post Office or COntrac-
tors here, would remedy this.
