From the Money article Of the New York
Herald Of sundsy last
During the last five years Sl,700,000.-
600 were invested in railroads at the rate
OF $3i0,0CO,OC0 a year, necessitsting an
undue imitation Of credits and the panic
OF September. The result was default
on the 1:t OF January, 1874, by 1lj rail-
roads, whose coupons and dividends were
payable IN New York, to the amount OF
$27,O0O000. We may further illustrate
the situation BY describing the condition
Of Minnesota in the month Of February.
The statement trom which we quote ssys:
The State Of Minnesota is one immense

ports show tina! her 100 miles operated

interest on the funded debt and the run.
ming expenses by $3,S40,00O. The gross
earnings were &, 535 GOO; the net earn
ings, 81, Ill 600, or less than quarter OF
the interest on the bonds. Seven roads,
operating 224 miles, do not psy their
running expenses. Every mile of the
road is covered by nearly $l5 900 OF stock
and $4l COO Of bonds. The unpaid and
overdue coupons amount 10 $4,000
most OF them Of recent date" Ii the
foregoing be true Of 80 prosperous a grain

has
A SURPLUS OF EIGHTREH OR TWENTY
MILLIONS
Of bushels Of wheat, what must be the
condition Of other Western States and
their ability to contribute TO the profits Of
the long and expensive lines running
through themS The prospect is certainly
not lovely one. Again take into con-
sideration the number OF bankruptcies that
have occurred during the last three years.
In 1870 they amounted TO 1851, the in
debtednesS being $8S.0O0,0OO In 1872
they were 4,069, with an indebtedness OF
$l2S000,000. lnlS7S the number was in.
creased to 6,i93, with $22S, 100000 Of un-
paid Indebtedness. And this Is the pic

Some Of the newspapers have publish
ed lengthy and lsudstOy accounts Of the
new system which proposes to substitute
v.por-power for that Of steam, and
which, it is claimed, can be applied to
any engine, with saving Of two-thirds
the amount Of fuel required at present.
The whole popularity is said TO be in the
boiler construction, the vApor being con-
veyed to the cylinder Of the engine Just
the same as steam. The boiler Is an up
right one, and Is really double one that
is, it has two heads at each end, one
few inches from the other. The two
chambers thus formed, one at each end Of
the boiler, are filed with water, and are
connected BY tubes; which are for the
circulation Of the water between the two
chambers. The second or inner boiler
that between the two inner heads, is filled
with preparation Of bisulphide Of car
bon, the vapor from which is the motive
power.
Beneath the boiler is q small fre-box
from which hles run up through the two
boilers to the smoke pipe. These auei
pass inside OF the tubes already mention
ed, and the ti;e in passing through heat
the chemicals. By this arrangement The
bisulphide in the inner boiler receives The
requisite amount Of heat without coming
In direct contact with the fire Hlos, as the
water is kept in circulation through The
tubes. The chemical preparation is used
over many times, as the vspor passing
through the cylinder Of the engine, pssse.
into condenser, sndis then returned tt
the boiler to be used again. The waste o
chemical material is said to be gtcatl!
diminished.

By the above table it will be seen that
the navy cost nearly forty-one millions
more during the four years of Grant than
it did during the four years Of Buchanan
These were all years of peace and hence
the comparison is fair, 1t is said this
money has been swallowed up in ex-
travagance and jobbery, the result of
collusion among the favored officials. 1t
is said too, that the navy is in worse
condition than it was dnring the
Buchanan administration. During the
latter all the fine frigates Of the Wabash
and Franklin class were built, and not
one has been constructed under Grant,
with an annual expenditure averaging
twenty-one millions! The fact is our
navy has become an aristocratic affair
modelled after Great Britain, with admi-
rails, graded and at large salaries. During
the war of lSl2-l5, with Great Britain,
when the American navy was adorned
with such gallant heroes as STEWART,
HALL, PERRY, BAINBRIDGE, DECATUR,
PORTER and their brave crews, not one
held rank higher than captain. The
navy was then the pride of the country
and adorned by men whose gallant deeds
shed halo of glory on the flag What
need of rank to arrange things with aris-
tocratic titles and large salaries? The
heroes of1Sl2-l5 were satisfied with the
rank of post captain and $500 year,
instead of three or four times this
amount with perquisites besides.
