Railroad Improvements.

We noticed a statement in the Boston Tran
eHer last week, of the gross earnings and the
gross expenditures made on the Vermont
Central and Vermont and Canada Railroads.
for the two years ending June LIST of the
present year. and of an application to the
Chancellor for liberty to raise considerable
amount of money to effect certain important
improvements. 0mitting fractions, the
gross earning for the two years was some
thing over two millions, six hundred and six
ty-two thousand dollars,-and the gruss out
lay something over two millions two hundred
and six thousand dollars, leaving surplus
Of about four hundred and ffty-s,x thousand
dollars. 10 the expenses is included, as we
understand the case, the amount of two div
idrnds paid on dues to the Vermont and Can
ada stockholders.
The representation to Chancellor Poland
at the hearing last Friday, was, that besides
what was necessary to repair damages from
S'S' "N"A 1uu seoi' oO.. ineTe was an urgent
demand for large increase of motive power
and rolling stock, the present means being
altogether inadequate to do the business Of.
fered BY the public. The proposition Of
those concerned in the management, we up-
derstand to have been in substance that
they have leave to raise about 500 600. on
notes to be paid within ten years, with in
terest annually, there to be sequestercd to
meet these payments the entire receipts for
use of cars Of the Vermont and Canada and
Vermont Central, on the lower roads Or
if this should be considered inadmissible.
then that the needed sum for the rtouired
outlay should be taken from the total re-
ceipts of the business. regardless of any res
ervation for Vermont and Canada Railroad
rents or dividends.
We learn that the Chancellor decided ,bo,
1t was proper for the money to be raised BY
either OF the above mentioned modes-tbat
the need of the outlay for the proper accom-
mediation of the public must override other
Considerations.
Among the improvements foreshadowed
under this arrangement, is the construction
Of large and commodiOus passenger depot
near the Lake shore in this city.
for the use of the Vermont and Canada and
Vermont Central business. This improve
ment for the public accommodation-which
has been sorely wanted, and talked of as near
at hand for We can hardly say how many
years. but which has seemed to recede as we
approached it, like the pot of gold at the foo.
OF the rainbow-we trust will ere long, prove
a reality.

ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS To BE WITNESS.
We see it stated positively that Alexander
II. Stephens, the Vice President of the de-
funct rebel confederacy and now held In
duress by the U. S. Government, is to be
placed ON the witness stand in the Wirz
trial-the special expectation being to prove
by him that WirI acted under the direct
orders Of JEFF Davis. On this point the N
Y. Eve. Post says:
We have been informed that A. H. Stephens,
on two occasions. made an appeal to JEFF. Davis
for leave to examine the Andersorville prison
and authority to remedy the abuses that he
represented to Davis the wrongs and cruelties
committed there. but received for reply that the
officers in command were capable and trust
worthy men, and should not be interfered with.
for which reason Mr.. Stephens requests we're
denied.
