have declined from 80 to rs, the second mortgage
from 60 to 81, the guaranteed stock from 3D. to 23
the common stock from rs to 10: how is this ano-
maly to be explained Could such decline have
taken place, in the face Of the steady Improvement
reported by Mr.. Bliss IL the Board Of Directors had
dealt fairly by the property and had enjoyed public
confidence? In resigning the Presidency, Mr.. Bliss
offers the following advice to the stockholders:
You have the power in your own hands, by eleosng
conservative and competent Managers and keeping the
control Of the company out OF the hands OF parties not
friendly To the road, who am told are making great
efforts TO carry the next elecon and have reason TO
fear tina. the movement ,efer to s for personal Objects
to benefit particular line OF roads, and to deprive
yeur road Of the advantages which It's natural position
gives II.
The stockholders will be somewhat embarrassed
to comprehend counsels uttered in such very Dcphc
and ambiguous phrases: if Mr.. Bliss means to say
that the control Of the company should be placed
in the hands of parties who will not gamble in the
stock, who will not help the Wall street bears to
hammer the bonds down to nominal prices for "per-
sonal Objects" and who will prove their "friend
ship for the road by investing some of their own
money in it, his advice cannot be too studiously
followed.
The Cleveland and Toledo occupies somewhat
different position. 1t is believed to be faithfully
and honestly managed, and no change in the d.
Aection has yet been proposed. Still, it is very
desirable that some practical plan should be devised
for the disposal of a balance of s250,000 floating
debt which the company will probably still owe on
LIST of June next We cannot but think that were
the finances of this concern administered with vgor
and skill, this small debt might be funded without
loss, and the present bonds of the company-on
which, even in the worst of times, there never has
been adefault-would command higher price than
they do. If the floating debt were disposed Of we
presume that dividends would be resumed at once.
The earnings of the road continue to increase
handsomely; the third week of March shows an
increase of over 1900.
The contest in the Legislature about the tolls
question continues to affect the price of New York
Central and other roads which are Influenced by it,
The canal party continue confident that they can
bring to bear influences on the Senate which will
induce that body to .recede from the position it
has assumed and compel it to adopt the House bill
The Lieutenant Governor evidently considers this
certain; his conduct in the appointment of the
Conference Committee showed how very small
was the respect he felt for the body over which he

The foreign trade of the port during the week
ending yesterday was on the whole less active than
that OF the corresponding week last year; the i'm
port entries were million and half less, and the
export of specie nominal. Still, Notwithstanding
the decline from last year. the imports of lastweek
were very large, as is shown by the table given
below; and the export Of domestic produce was
quite handsome, especially as there is no move

Baltimore correspondence.

BALTIMORE, March ?, 1860.
To THE EDITOR OF THE ALLEGHAsIAS =
Our good city IS somewhat excited at the
present time, in regard to the City Passenger
Railroad and Metropolitan Police Bills. Our
City Council recently granted permission to a
number of citizens to lay down Railroad
through the streets, and, as soon as they re-
ceived the grant, they passed il into the hands
of Messrs. Brock & Co., of Philadelphia, who
have already completed several of the routes,
and have the cars running them. They
are now seeking a charter from the LegisIa-
ture of Maryland, and are opposed by a num-
Der of capitalists of Baltimore. who also desire
charter for the same purpose. AS the prof
its are said to be enormous, of course there is
some hard wire-pulling. Even if Brock &
Co. do not receive q charter, there is not suf-
hcient time remaining for the present session
to grant charter to new company, and as
the Legislature does not meet again for two
years, Messrs. Brock & Co. viii be pretty
firmly fixed in that time
Our Police is also to be rcmodeled. and
politics is to be entirely excluded in the selec-
ton of men for the position. The new bill,

hands of four commissioners and the Mayor,
instead of the Mayor and City Council, as for
merry. The city officers Of course are opposed
to the bill, and eminent legal counsel have
been employed on both sides, and it is to be
tested before the Courts. All lovers of good
order desire to see the bill enforced, in the
hope that it may give every citizen 4 chance
to deposit his ballot without molestation
and that the law may be meted out TO some
Of the gentry who live entirely their mus
Gle, and who now go unwhipt of justice.
Business is Frightening up, and our mer-
chants anticipate large increase of trade,
especially from the South.
Politics is rather dull, with all except the.
Democrats, who have been electing delegates
to represent them in the Charleston Conveu-
ton. The Douglas delegates are slightly ahead
as far as heard from.
Spring has opened out most beautifully,
and the ladies take advantage of the fact to

That H00G Majority.

The call of the chairman Of the Loco
Foco County Committee for the Ratification
Meeting held in this place on Tuesday night
last, contained among other curiosities, a
spread-eagle, bearing in its beak stream
er. BY this streamer, and the portentous
words and figures thereon emblazoned, the
whole world and the rest of mankind were
informed, that, in the coming Gubernato-
rial contest Cambria will give Henry d.
Foster 1000 majority. OF course this was
a mere ''hyer, "a sort of spread-eagle
arrangement which everybody here under
stands We caution our friends at dis
tance not to believe word of it the
democratic Chairman was only Joking.

Cur Next Governor.

We last week nailed to our masthead
the name Of Col. ANDREwG CURTIN, the
candidate of the Peoples Party for the
next Governor Of Pennsylvania. While
We would cheerfully have so treated the
name Of any other gentleman whom our
State Convention might have seen fit to
nominate for that important position :;
while We would have yielded him cordial
support through our columns, and exerted
all our energies in securing him a trium-
phant election at the ballot-box in October:
while we would have done all this, had it
been required, for either Calvin, or Covode,
or Kline, or Taggart, or Howe, or any other
gentleman who might have been fairly
nominated still we feel peculiar pride
and pleasure in so doing and SO laboring
for Andrew G. Curtin.
1t were needless for us now to enter into
any lengthy discussion relative to the merits
or qualifications of Col. Andrew G. Curtin.
These are topics to which we have already
given Out Dur readers well
know, that we were amongst the first to
advocate his nomination, and they quite as
well know, that we have not failed to set
forth the grounds Of our preference, no.
yet to give a reason for our faith. We
have only now to thank the Convention for
giving us our first and our only choice for
the nomination Weenlistin the campaign

Il may be well for the paper above named
how that SIMON is dead cock in the pit
to explain TO its readers and patrons why
its report of the late Convention was so par
tial Ii must strike all who were present and
heard the proceedings as very strange that
every speech in favor Of SIMON is reported in
full, whilst those able and eloquent speeches
in opposition to him suppressed. The able
remarks of Mr.. Marshall, of Allegheny county.
are sneeringly spoken of, instead of being
