RICHMOND. VA, January %, 1879
Join u. Hct1nSon, Esq, President Rich

Dear Sir,-A careful examination of the
books of our respective companies Shows
1st. That the Richmond. Fredericksburg,
and Potomac Railroad Company has paid to
il, common stockholders. including the State
Of Virginia. 137 per cent. upon its capital, or
s. rcr cent. more than theamount originally
invested 10y them.
I'd. That In series OF thirty-scTen years,
beginning with the years 1886 (when the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad was incomplete1. and extending to
the present time. the dividend paid the State
and other common stockholders by the Rich
nond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rail-
road Company, averaged 81 per cent. per
annunL .........-
Sd. That from the year 1851, the date OF
the reUpening of the Seaboard and Roanoke

$50 per night, and for three hundred nights
in the year Sf5 900 annttal income.
Mr.. Quesenbery here said that he had eyi.
tently been misunderstood, and repeated his
question.
Mr.. Robinson again went over his state
Mr.. Quesenberry What time is saved?
Mr.. Robinson: The time that would be
lost in eating breakfast or dinner.
Mr.. Lyon: Does 1t enable passengers tc
get to Baltimore earlier?
Mr.. Robinson: One hour.
Mr. Lyon: understand when the trai,
gets to Quantico from Baltimore your iiBt
keeps the passengers whiting.
Mr.. Daniel: That Is mistake.
Mr.. Lyon / wish to know if Mr. Robin
son will not let the committee see the books
and reports from which his subordinateS
have made up the statements he has present
ed here? There is error somewhere, either
in these statements or in the reports made
TO the State authorities, and wish to ind
ont where it is.
Mr.. Daniel: There are two questions
here-one as to annual reports, and the other
as to the books of the company. The re-
ports will undoubtedly be furnished the
committee il they wish to see them, aud
even the books may be examined by the
committee have no doubt; but we will Ger
tainly Object to our books and all our pri-
vate affairs being looked into by the counsel
of the other side.
Mr.. Lyon: did not intend to include the
books. refer simply to the annual renorts,
which l have no doubt correspond with the
books.
Mr.. Daniel: We will furnish them.
Mr.. Lyon: When can get themf
Mr.. Robinson: We will furnish them to
the committee, but not to you.
Mr.. Lyon: / have tried hard to get them,
but in vain.
Dir. Robinson: l know you have with
your investigating disposition.
Mr.. Daniel: We have endeavored to an
swer these questions fully and fairly, not
withstanding the insulting comments accom-
panying them and tie disparasing feeling
they conveyed against Mr.. Robinson, and il
tue committee are not satisfied weare willing
to do all in our power that they may ask.
Mr.. Lyon: Dir. Chairman, lam unwilling
that we shall part here now with the inl-
preston resting on MIR. Daniels mind, or OIL
the mind of any other person, that anything
that have done or said before this commit.
tee has been in tone, temper, or gesture in-
tentionally insulting, or offensive personally
to any gentleman connected with this iuves-
tigation. ....
Mr. Robinson: have labored hard to
give the committee the fullest information at
my command, and am ready TO do anything
further that can do for the committee.
Mr.. Daniel: There is within my knowl-
edge but one full set of these reports anu
these the company have, and tile committee
will understand that we wish great care to
be taken of them that none may be lost or
destroyed.
Mr.. Holladay (chairmau): We will see that
they are carefully preserved.
The committee then adjourned to Tuesday
the 18th Instant, at 10 O'Clock, when the re-
ports asked for by Mr.. Lyon will be exam.

Poverty In England.

It is very we'll that we should occa- sionally see some representation of the dark side of English society. Most of the novels we steal from English writers represent only the aristocratic view of matters. Even the religious novels touch only the surface of things, Pious heroes and heroines often lead lives Of devotion to the poor; but they never seem to ap- preciate the fact that it is justice not charity that the laboring class of England chiefly need. They never take in the idea that the selfish and grasping upper class of that country have reduced the great mass of the population to Q grind ing, hopeless, almost unbearable poverty. The rich have monopolized all the land and sequestered large amounts of it for parks, and for other purposes of mere show and amusement. The laborer who is industrious and frugal barely keeps himself out of the poor house and has no chance of rising. Property is all that English law cares for. A gentleman who seduces poor mans wife commits no le- gal crime; but the laborer who catches @ hare, is transported. The upper classes, in the meantime, keep all the land in the great families by the systems of entail and primogeniture, and pension their young CT sons of on the church, the army, or the civil service. Even the House of Commons is completely under control of the landed aristocracy and reform oreeps along at snail's pace with more show of progress than reality. True, Mir. Glad stone has done something. He has dis established the Irish church, and made some provision for education, but the English church establishment, the game laws, and the House of Lords, stlll cum Der the ground.
 It is this reverse side of the usual pie ture of Engliah life that Messrs. Brad- laugh and Jenkins, English radicals, are now showing us. Both have succeeded as lecturers before Boston audiences and Bradlaugh has made asuccessful debut at New York. The story they both tell, with some variations from differences of view,1 is very instructive one, and we hope both will have full hearing through out the country.
