Says the Philadelphia Ledger We want
our readers and the public to remember that
70 Pennsylvania Railroad Company shows by
its last annual report that it earned in the year
1869, on gross traffic, sl7,259,sl4, at an OK :
pense of 81, ,2O3, ,267-givins as net profits IS, :
OH, 554. This result, it should be remembered
was against most unwarranted opposition on
the part of the New York roads, which reduc-
ell freight charges fur below paying profit
an experiment not likely to be repeated very
soon.
]. S. Gollady, Democratic member from
Kentucky, since the semi-expulsion Of White
more for specializing on his appointments to
the Military and Naval Academies, has lower
ed his warlike front, abandoned repudiation
and humbly asked leave of the House to ret 70
to the classic shades of whisky producing Ken
lucky, to ruminate, perhaps, over the mutabil-
ity of human affairs and the results of dishon-
esty. In other words, mixed up as he was in
similar speculations to that of Whittmore, and
fearing similar fate, he has resigned. John
T. Deweese, Tar Heel representative fro m
North Carolina, being in the same boat, and
thinking Congressional honors rather heavy at
this time, adopted a similar subterfuge, and
vanishes, We hope to give place to a better man.
General Garfield has submitted his report
on the investigation Of tho gold panic. Tho
testimony taken was of the most thorough and
searching character and the reports is doe
ument covering reams of paper. as was gen.
orally anticipated, it entirely exonerates the
president and his family, as well as Mr.. Bout
well, from ali blames The Democratic mem
bers of the committee on the other hand, are
preparing minority report, which censures
the president and several members Of his hous-
hold. Under these circumstances there is no
way to do justice to all parties but to give the
country tho evidence and let people draw their
own conclusions.
Recent advices from Rome mako it appear
that, in announcing the failure of the Ecum-
enical affair, the newspaper correspondents
have stirred up the ire Of His Holiness. The
result is, that number Of leading newspaper
writers, among whom are most Of the Ameri-
can correspondents and those Of the London
Times and Augsberg Gazette, have been order
ed to fold up their note books and leave the
Eternal City. This, Of course, can surprise no
one. Like Mormonism, the Mother Church
fears the light. The failure of the infallibiliiy
scheme has taught the Pope that his only
chance to escapsean utter overthrow is by
keeping his Bishops close under the shadows
of st. Peters.
