The Narrow Guage.
A REPORT OF TIE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE
BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.
To Mc President and Bpum or Direct0rs o.
the Blue Rtdyc Rutlroua:
CONCLUDED.

To Me President and Bourd o( Directors of
the Blue Ridyc Railroad:
First, let us estimate, as nearly as possible.
the relation which will ohtain between the
dead and nou paying load. in actual practice,
Oh the feet gauge We have taken the
statistics, which give US this information for
the feet gauge, from official reports, and
we have the relations betwccn full loads ;
but the new cars are not going to run full,
although they will como much nearer to it
than on the old lines.
We have seen that the freight ears of all
existing roads carry an average Of tons,
aud that, therefore, they run with an average
of Of Il full load calling 8 tons ii fair full
load TO keep within safe limits estimate,
then, that the peculiar adaptability of the
narrow car to the average load of five tons,
has no greater effect than to raise the average
load one eighth, (sl!-b=2,) and say that the
usual load of the narrow gauge car will be r
of five tons, or 81 tons. 1t is more difficult
to estimate the probable number of pnssen,
gers per car. Still, deducing our result, from
such statistics as arc at hnLd, it appears that
2,74S pounds dead load of passenger cars,
exclusive Of baggage, was moved for each
passenger over the New York roads. This
indicates about thirteen passengers per car,
which seems small number for Northcrn
trans but answers well to experience here
TIE passenger cars, then, run about one,
fourth full. think we shall not overcast
mate, if we assume that the narrow car will
run ne,third full.
On this basis, the table of dead weights
and nrylng loads is re arranged thus:
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1871-08-25

Showing the actual relation between dead
and paying load, in practice, on the common
gauge and the probable results to be cxpcc
ted on the narrow gauge.
The average charge for transporting one
ton or one passenger per mile, is about "a
cents, aud, to earn this amount, there must
be transported:
On the wide enuec, 2.240ii 8 3,00l=5,33l
lbs. of freight and cars one mile; or, $50
-I2,75S-2,87S lbs. Of passengers and cars
one mile
On the narrow gaugc, 2.240 Il, ,4GG-3,,
20G lbs of FREIGHT and cars one mile or.
loOi- ,200==1 $50 lbs. passengers and cars
one mile.
This is comparison, not at all eXaegcra
ted between the two systems The cxpcn
'diture Of power stands in the relation OF 81
to So in freight, and 13 to 90 in passenger
traffic. When the freight tfailic stands to
the passenger traffic in tho proportion Of 4 to
l, tho difference on the whole power cSpcn
dcd is 33 per cent. in favor of the narrow
gauge. Docs it, then, actually cost SO per
cent. less to conduct traffic when done on tho
narrow gaugoY The mechanical forces Gx
pended certainly stand in this proportion
But that may not be true measure Of the
money cost, because all parts of the expense
account may not be equally affected.
Hero classify, in general way, tho ordi
nary railroad expenses, and inquire how the
difference in gauge will affect each class

ses to gross receipts is 70 per cent, the ratio
o! small gauge expenses to receipt as would be
o2a per cent, SO that We were not SO far out
OF the way in the assumption upon which we
calculated ourtr"llic i'll Il former paragraph.
| With Que additional remark, leave this
branch OF the subject. In my calculation
of the comparative cost of working the two
gauges, have been solicitous in no particular
! to cxagScratn the advantages of the narrow

Il less amount than you will find stated in any

Now, Mr.. Fairie, speaking of the English
roads, remarks: 1T is known, aud everywhere
admitted, that tho proportion Of non paying
to paying weight III passenger trains, is as
much us 20 to |, and, in goods trains, exclu.
sive of minerals, as much Us to l. This
terrible dispruportion is partly due to the
system Of management pursued, but, in far
greater degree, to tho gauge" and in speaking
of the London and North Western railway he
demonstrates, in calculation, which has been
so frequently rcpublishcd here, that l will
not quote it in detail "that, if its gauge
were feet, instead of feet 81 inches, its
goods traffic could be hauled at half the pres
\
ent cost, and IN such way as to reduce the
present tonnage on the road by onch halt

The subcommittee Of the committee on
Southern Outrages are making considerable
progress in the work delegated to them OF
ascertaining the debts OF the Southern
States and other financial facts concerning
them. They have begun the peru sal OF the
documents sent them in accordance With
the circular of Senator Scott, issued to ex-
ecutive officers some time ago, and they are
receiving considerable information from
them. 1t is true that the debts Of some Of
the Southern States are enormous. and, in
soue instances, greater than the resources
of the States will allow: but the committee
state that they have discovered the cause of
this alarming increase Of the debts, and
that it has not been brought about by the
new governments inaugurated since the
close OF the rebellion. Tue committee fnd
that the sinking fund, university and school
funds Of the States were invested in con-
federate bonds, aud that moneys have had
to he appropriated to replace them. The
new governments have also had charged to
their rule the old debts of these States, the
payment of which has had to I've made by
the parties at present in power. The com
mittee feel confident that they will be able
to show that the freely circulated state
ments that the Southern Sta.es have been
run overwhelmingly in debt under Repub-
lican rule are not we'll founded
