THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MERCHANTS

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MERCHANTS
STEAMSHIP COMPANY New York, Alexandria
and Georgetown line, was held on Saturday
evening in Washington. A favorable report
of the operations Of the company, and OF the
advantages OF the line, was made by the Pres,
ident and Directors, and resolution adopted
appointing a committee of five from among
the stockholders to solicit subscriptions, SO as
to increase the capital stock to $l50,0OO, as
proyided by the charter, and put another
steamer on the line, so as to make the trips
semi-weekly, and also so as to provide against
apy accident which might happen to one or
more of the steamers. With the increase OF
the capital stock to the amount as prescribed
by the charter, al personal liability of stock,
holders would cease, and would be relieved
thew of an Objectionable feature under which
thew are now liable. The patronage of the
line has so greatly increased as to produce
revenue nearly $50, 900 in excess OF the reve-
nue. of the preceding year, and places the
company in possession of sufficient means to
paw handsome dividend, which, however,
the president does not deem advisable, but
recommends, in view of the Importance OF the
line to the business interests of the community,
that the money be retained in the treasury to
meet any emergency that may hereafter arise

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. TO THEGAZET1
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Virginia Committee.

/ WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Virginia Com
mittee had another meeting this morning, but
nothing OF interest was done.
To morrow the committee vii! have a hear
ing before the Committee of Reconstruction. -
Several of the members on the committee have
had conversation with Secretary Schofield,
who, while he agrees fully with the plans and
purposes of the Richmond meeting, docs not
think that anything can be accomplished, on
account of party affinity.
A number OF Radicals from Richmond are
here, representing that any modification OF
their plans will lose them the State, render
their continuance in power impossible, &c,
&C.. which has its weight with the leaders
here, and will probably prevent any action on
the part of Congress in accordance with the
wishes of the committee.
Senator Wiley, of West Virginia, while IN
clined to look favoraby upon the propositions
of the committee, thinks that anything endan-
gering the success of the Radical party in Viz
GINA will fail Of success before Congress.
Party ties and party interests bind the doml-
nant faction too closely to admit of any relaxa-
ton.

In the Supreme Court to day decision IN

ceeded its powers in debarring Mr.. Bradley

him ridden home.
