1t may not be uninteresting to some of
our present stockholders to state what
has been accomplished in the past ten
wears. It will be remembered by those
who were among the original purchasers,
that the property was purchased of the
city for $4,000 on ten years credit,
with interest at seven per cent, payable
seni-annually, and one-tenth Of the prin-
cipal annually, the purchasers paying IN
as commercial capital 100000. This
amount, in consequence Of the dilspi-
dated condition Of the property, was
almost entirely expended in the FIRST two
years, in repairs rendered necessary by
the then condition of the property. We
have, since the purchase, paid for the en-
tire property without calling on the
stockholders for another dollar; added
largely TO the property by purchase and
building, bought about 100000 worth Of
new machinery, increased the capital to
$500. 900 BY the addition of portion OF
the surplus; paid dividends regularly,
and have now a property worth the par
value $500, 900 10 gold

is enough for our present purpose TO
know that since the war, or from June IL,
1865, to June 30. 1868, the company has
added to its machinery by s92,6s6 76,
and paid to its stockholders the snug
sum of S360,000, besides adding TO its
"profit and loss" or surplus account,

Still further should il be noticed that,
after the enormous dividends above men
toned have been paid, the gold cash
value Of the company's property was, on
the Both Of last June, $600,00 irrespec-
tive of the profit and loss or surplus
fund, which, as before stated, amounts to
1924, 1893 %.

the cotton lords of New England look
not to their laurels, but to their pockets;

20 Congress rcassemblcd yesterday but, Of
course, nothing has vet heen done. We
may expect, however, work in earnest,
now, as matters ofgreat Importance have
been ripening in the Committees during
the holiday recess. Senator Sherman's
financial bill for consolidating the national
debt is ore of the first and most important
on the list, and for this Senator Hender-
son Of Missouri has already a substitute
prepared. The distinctive provision of
the latter is that it allows but 81 per cent
interest, which Mr.. Henderson thinks
eaght to satisfy the wealthy capitalists Of
The East, by whom the bonds will chiefly
be held, but Secretary NcCulloch says
ahat s por cen is the lowest possible rate,
and that the Sherman bill allows.
The Sherman bill seems to meet the
necessities of our case better than any
.o'hsr get proposed, but it has one serious
fault which ought 10 be modified; that
is. the provision that these new bonds
shall not be sul,iec, to state or mun;ncinal
