Interesting Decision in Reference to
Railroads.

NEW YORK, February 24th.-The
San shows the statement untrue that
the Supreme Court rendered decision
that in estimating any railroads IS earn
ings interest must be deducted, as well
as operating expenses, in order to ar
rive at the net earnings. The decision
was in the case of preferred Erie
stakeholder suing for his dividends
that interest and rent must be paid
ont of the net earnings before preferred
shareholders could receive dividends.
This cannot be tortured so as to enable
the overland roads to deduct interest,
as well as operating expenses, from
receipts in order to ascertain the bal
ance on which said roads are bound to
pay five per cent. to the Government.
This view is understood to be the basis
of Bristow's hesitation to accept the
Union Pacific's offered compromise.

our Common Council not having granted
single license in our city the past year, have
been lamenting considerably on account of the

in the price Of toll across the bridge and back.
Old Neptune, WHO has charge of the waters
and waves has heard their complaints. He
suggested, GO over in small row boats and
flats, go single or go in groups, it will be as
cheap, if not cheaper. This suggestion has
been tried faithfully by those who had con-
troll of boats, but every pilgrim has not a
boat. The meanings and lamentations of
these has appealed to one who appears to
have more control of the waters than old
Neptune. He has heard their cries. | will.
