THE REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT sU-
PERINTENDENT.
Below we publish an abstract of the
report of Robert A. Bacon Esq.
Assistent Superintendent of the
Northern Division of the E., H. & n.
r. r.
We would like to have published
the report entire, but owing to its
length, we are unable to do so.
Mr.. Bacon took charge of the
road on the 28th of December last.
| At that time trains were running
only to Crab Tree Barn, distance of
thirty miles. BY the I'D of March,
he had the road completed to Madis-
vile, distance Of, and trains
have been running regularly since
that time. Not single accident has
occurred upon the road since it has
been under his charge.
Taking into consideration that the
road-bed was in many places new,
and of light, porous earth, liable to
wash out, it plainly shows that the
officers have been extremely careful,
and cannot fail to give confidence to
those travelling over the road. Mr.
BACON says: l found, upon my ar
rival, as nearly as | could ascertain,
that the earnings were only about 30
per cent. of the expenses. For the
past four months, the expenses have
only amounted to SO per cent. of the
gross earnings" We think this
shows very clearly that Mr. BACON
has not mismanaged his division OF
the E., Il. & N. Railroad.
The following abstracts will show
what the road has been doing:
EARNINGS.
The receipts of the thirty, weight
miles, from Henderson TO Madison
vile, with no connections, simply a
local trade, have been enormous,
amounting, for the past four months,
to $l9, ,963 66, being an average earn
ings per mile, four months, of 1925 30
or an average at the same rate, for
one year, 81 $40 % per mile. In the
course of my railroad experience,
which has been in the far South,
have never seen any road which gave
as fair promise OF becoming, when
completed, a paying road. 1T. In Its
present unfinished state. Its yield is SO
great, certainly when finished it will
earn at least $4,000 per mile, or four
times its present receipts. Could the
means be furnished to push the road
four miles, to the coal fields of Hop
kins County, it would pay to run a
coal train daily, in addition to the
present mixed train.
Annexed you will find a detailed
statement showing the earnings (2ross

Through the long rainy months,
and over a new track liable to acci-
dent from the heavy rains, the trains
have been run with regularity and
dispatch, without an accident and
with fine profit to the Company. This
is not only due to the faithfulness of
those connected with the trains, but
to the untiring vigilencesof that class
of railroad men TO whom more credit
is due than the public generally grants
i mean the track men, upon whose
watchfulness, IN a great measure, de-
pend the lives of travellers. To this
corps, under the able managenent of
Mr.. john HargreaVes, Roadmsster, |
am especially indebted. My thanks
on behalf of the Company, are also
due tosthe agents and employees for
the prompt discharge of their duties.
Especially am I indebted to- Mr..
Phelps Sasseen, Secretary and Treas
urer, for his assistance in the duties
connected with the general Office.

Many years ago, the brother Of Prof D r. d.
Morse proposed plan for layingn suDhariue

Atlantic, at intervals Of ~ or ~ miles apar"
The author of this plaa eontended that large
iron buoys could be anchored below tue
surface ofthe ocean, out Of the reach o.
currents or surface storms, and USED %
foundations on which lighthouses could be
built. Visionary "A this plan seemed "
the time when il was promulgated, We are
nov too accustomed to scientific miracles TO
regard it without some consideration. NO
one will deny that such buoy as the one
suggested could be made and anchored.
Where, then, would be the impossbiIity OF
building Il superstructure upon i capable OF
resisting the action Of the winds and waves
Such structure would not be subject to
greater violence than is the Eddysole
lighthouse, and the slight lateral motion
which the buoy would permit would greatly
increase its power Of resistance. As
project for facilitating the laying of a trans.
atlantic cable this plan is now, Of course, OF
no consequence; but could the proposed
oceanic lighthouses be constructed, their
benefit TO mariners would be incalculAbIc.

Report Of the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue,


In this important report, it will be seer
that in the fiscal year ending June 3Qth
1868, the sum Of one hundred and ninety
one million dollars was collected from inter
nal revenue, the expenses Of ColeCting which
was five per cent. The heavy items in this
account are the taxes paid on the indul
geuce Of popular appetite. The amount re-
ceyed, for instance, from the tax on chew.
ing and smoking tobacco was, in round
numbers, fifteen million dollars. Add to
this the cost of production and dealers pro
fits, which is estimated to be five times
more than the revenue tax, amounting to
seyenty,fve million dollars. All the rail.
roads paid together less than seven millions,
the insurance companies less than two
millions, and telegraph and express compan
les not a million between them, 80 that
chewing and smoking tobacco-Our small
vices, as they are called-are really bigger
things" in the commissioner report than
all the railroads, telegraphs or express and
insurance companies in the United States
taken together. The number OF cigars
taxed was six hundred millions. 1t is
calculated as many more are used through
smuggling, making grand total yearly
expenditure in the United States Of one
hundred and fifty million dollars for tobacco
alone.
VIII not some philanthropist discover
some remedy for this enormous and useless
waste of money? Only think oft, one hun.
dred and fifty million dollars annually
thrown away! This would soon liquidate
our national debt. The question recur3,
where will an antidote be found fer this
greatest Of eviIs.-Nem YORK Herald.

Governor Palmers inaugural address
has produced not merely sensation, but
CONSERVATION, in the camp Of radicalism.
The effect is exhibited in different ways.
One radical party newspaper organ pitches
into" his eXceliency Tor going out OF his way
to preach democratic doctrines, when, as 1t
asserts, there was no occasion for his doing
no. Another radical party newspaper organ
is set to reading the federal constitution
an exercise that ts conductors, manitestIy
have INDUCED in but very rarely. The result
Of the sudden peruSal is thus announced
awe do not find enumerated, in our copy Of the
federal constitution, among the powers delegated
to congress, the right TO charter railroads in the
several states
Probably the trouble is, that tour copy
happens to be copy Of the old democratic
document that WAS framed by convention
of the sovereign states in 1881, and in which
the high contracting parties omitted to
delegate the power mentioned, either to the
congress they created, or to any other body
of delegated authority. If the newspaper
organ in question would throw away its
democratic copy and get u modern radical
copy, probably it would find that congress
not only has the right to charter railroads
and telegraphs, and insurance companies, in
the states, but that congress has the night to
do anything it pleRses in the states, even to
the destruction OF state laws, state govern
ments, and every other state right Such,
at any rate, is the radical Jacobin doctrine,
and the radical Jacobins pretend to be a
constitution, abiding party. 1t must be that
their newspaper Organ, ~'Gioh cannot find the
power it has been looking for in the tcaerM
constitution, has got hold of the wrong copy.
