The annual meeting of the Alexandria and

Exchange this morning at 10 o'clock, there
being full attendance Of the stockholders
G. Y. Worthington was called to preside. Is.

the report of the President and Directors from
which it appears that the total receipts OF the

lst, 1869, were $2,SS0.6l, and the disburse-
ments 3, l05 40, showing a deficit OF 1924. 79,
caused by outlay for many improvements made
to the boat since it was put on the line, and
which coad not be made at the time she COM
menced running. Last October the fare was
reduced about % per Ct, as it was deemed to
be to the interest of the company and city that
such reduction should be made. Of the sub
scriptions to the company IN this city out
SIP. so remain unpaid, while in Maryland, of
the $3.50 subscribed, only 1925 have been col
lected. The report concluded with an appeal
to the merchants to employ tho steamer IN the
transportation of grain and other articles to
Georgetown, Washington, and other places
thus assisting in the support of a route which
contributes to the trade of the city considerably
The report was accepted, and the present

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
THE BANK CONVENTION.
.Fro1rl The N. 7. FINancidl Chronicle.

L .
On Wednesday the National Banks
held q convention at the st. Nicholas
Hotel, in this city, and delegates were
present from almost every State in the
Union. The object of the meeting was
to organize a voluntary association
comprehending all the National Banks
in the United States tor the purpose of
enabling these Institutions to act to-
gether AS unit In matters OF common
concern, The organization has been
duly made and the association, for good
or for evil, is now in full operation.
Some of the leading bankers in New
York and other financial centres have
long been of the opinion that to pro-
mote the internal efficiency OF the
banks all over the country, there
should be between them some closer
bonds, some more intimate union, than
is established by the National Curren-
cy law, and by the Banking Bureau at
Washington. TO carry out this pur-
pose several meetings have been con-
Vened, and Notwithstanding the diff
culties which arose from the opposition
of lew of the banks, and from the
apathy and Indifference of others, these
gentlemen persevered In their plans,
and, and, as we see, the contemplated
association has been at length consum-
mated.
There is strong probability that in
the next session OF Congress there will
be a stormy discussion of some of the
leading financial topics. Under the
pressure of public distress there will be
a rigid scrutiny of the monetary ma
Chinery of the country, and if it should
appear that the banks are to blame for
any part of the trouble. the privileges
and franchises of these Institutions
may be assailed, and the banking sys-
tenn itself may be in jeopardy. We
have no desire to play the part of
alarmists, but it must be obvious to
every dispassiOnate observer that, un-
der the circumstances to which we have
adverted great advantages to the banks
themselves, to the monetary condition
of the country. and to Congress which
will have to legislate regarding both,
will be secured If there Is some central
organization among the banks them
selves which Is actively at work to cor
rect evils, to give full efficiency to the
banking system, and to bring 1t into
harmony with the general interests of

The Pittsburgh Gazette, commenting
on the statement of the Waynesburg
republican, made shy authority" that
If the people of Allegheny, Washing
ton, Fayette and Greene counties will
contribute $500, 600 the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company would take hold of
the Monongahela Valley road and
build 1t to the West Virginia line, re-
marks:
s'The terms offered are even more
liberal thandhose which have just re-
suited in fixing the construction of the
CHARTERS railway to Washington as
certainty, and involve but an insignth-
cant per centage upon the total wealth
OF these four populous and prosperous
counties. We shall feel the highest
qualification in learning that an effort
10 realise the proposition will be
speedily made, having no doubt what
ever of it's success, is prosecuted by the
right men and in the most judicious
way. From the State line, the people
of the West Virginian counties would
find the way to extend the road, cross
ing the Baltimore and Ohio railway
en- route to Charleston, and there
tapping the Chesapeake and Ohio
line. Thence, it's progress south
westward would be only a ques,
development of a region wonderfully
rich In every mineral resource. We
are confident that this Charleston con-
nection with Pittsburgh can be con-
summated at cost OF not oyer one
million of dollars to the people of the
country which it would traVerse-R
cost which would be dirt-cheap, If the
money were even regarded as given
away, in view OF the hundred-fold re-
turn within the ensuing twenty years
to the cash valuation of their other
property OF every description. The
manufacturers and merchants OF Pitts
burgh could we'll afford to invest that
amount in opening up the resources of
so rich mineral field, and in securing
trafc Of which at present they get no
q dollar. But it will not be we'll to re-
ly upon this view of the case; the work
must be done and the funds provided
in the mode first above indicated, to
insure the desired success"
The people up in West Virginia
along the line indicated by the Gazette
ought 10 wake mp and get into COM
munication with Pittsburgh capitalists.
