The earnings of the Central Pacific
railroad for July were S579, 900, an in
crease of S25, 900 over the month Of
June, notwithstanding the successful
reduction of rates on freight and pas
ssnger transportation. The results of
the operations of the first three months
since the connection of the Eastern
lines shows revenue rate of S7,000,000
per annum, of which s.. .000, 900 are net
earnings. This company did not find it
necessary to issue the full extent of the
first mortgage bonds authorized. Their
annual interest liability on the whole
bonded debt falls a little short of a mil
lion dollars.
The New York Sun correspondent has
had an interview with John Quincy

soon control the entire Southern States,
that the Fifteenth Amendment is de-
feated, that signs of dissolution are ap-

An investigation of the affairs of Gen.
Young, Supervisor of Internal Revenue
at Cincinnati, is now in progress in that
city. The doors are closed to reporters.
There are runners abroad that further
charges have been preferred against the
Supervisor, and that General Young de-
manded the privilege of having the
testimony published, but the demand
was refused. A threat, it is said, &C
compasied the refusal that in case re-
porter was present General Young would
be denied the privilege of cross-exam-
ination. A phonographic reporter has
attended ell the meetings of the exam
lining board, but it is understood that
the report he is preparing is for the use
of commission. It is rumored also
that on being refused permission to have
the testimony published, General Young
has prepared a dispatch to be sent to
Mr.. Delano asking the privilege of pub
lication. This dispatch he offered to
the board to be sent by them, but they
not only refused to send it themselves,
send it. Assessor Shaw, of the Second
District, is to come in next for his share.
The exact nature of the charges are not
known.
A dispatch from BiHghampton, n. Y,
yesterday, says: The managers of the
Erie Railroad Company were busy yes
terday morning preparing to prosecute
the Albany & Susquebanna railroad, but
very little trustworthy information con-
cerning the position of the case can be
ascertained, but, as usual in such af-
fairs, the streets are full of rumors. 1t
is known that two special trains, filled
with workn,en or guerrillas, so-called,
left this city before nine o'clock
this morning on the Albany & Susque-
hanna railroad in the Erie car. The first
train took about 200 and the second $50
men. They were under charge of L. d.
Rucker, General Superintendent of the
Erie railroad, and g. ID. V. Pratt, Di-
vision Agent. They took good supply
of -four and beef, and appeared more
like men on a military expedition than
q civil mission. Most of the men en-
ployed on this end of the Susquehanna
railroad are now lying idle. Up to noon
to-day no trains had arrived frem AL
bauy since yesterday morning. 1t Is re.
ported that train which lett here last
evening was seized at Alton by large
force of men in the Ramsey interest, and
their intention is to retake Biughamp-
ton if they find they are strong enough.
