1t viii be noticed that while the
total receipts steadily increased each
year, the expenses increased in a much
greater ratio, causing the net earnings
to shrivel in a frightful way. Taken
in connection with the present default,
these official reports evoke much criti-
cism from those who hold the guaran-
teed bonds. Their quaint figures sug-
gest a suspicion that a subsequent
lease Of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago road, giving a more direct
line to the last named city, may have
proven more profitable to the Pennsyl-
vania Central Hence would arise a
natural, if not legitimate, desire TO
shake off the Columbus, Chicago and
Indiana Central. When the lease was
first made it was thought to be worth a
sacrifice. After the arrange
ment with the Pittsburg, For5
Wayne and Chicago, it became
much less desirable, and consequently
worth less of a sacrifice. The passen-
ger business gradually fell off whether
from design or not it is not necessary
to inquire and the expense account
largely increased. Then came in the
panic, disturbing all calculations, and
the subsequent hfeless conditions of
business, with finances arranged for a
different condition Of things. The IN
ducement to seek relief through the
casting off Of improbable contracts
was probaly too great 20 be resisted.
So, under this pressure, they have
sought and probably found some ex-
cuse I'VE can always Justify what We
desire to do for the act, which in due
time we shall hear.
TIE Financial Chronicle well says
that honesty, where there is no temp
tation to dishonesty, is a common
commodity, but when it costs some
thing to be honest we have a test of
character, and, what is more, the world
accepts the test as a gauge Of credit.
No great railroad corporation can af-
ford to take a lower position. Even
granting there is some crack through
which legally the Pennsylvania road
can creep out Of this contract, the at
tempt would be no more honorable
than pleading the baby act. That road
has guaranteed this debt, and induced
men to invest their money on the
strength Of its endorsement. VIII it
now, under such circumstances, repu-
date THIN, thereby admitting that the
present strain Is too severe a test for
its honesty:

AN insinuation by George Alfred
Townsend that Theodore Tilton had
cheated him out Of his dues for publish
ing a mass Of marital correspondence
IN the Chicago Tribune, by making a
present Of It to that Journal 'Of his
own self-absorbing yolition," elicits q
positive contradiction from the Iri-
Ji,ne, in which it appears incidentally
that Mr. Townsend has been paid for
years SIS per column for all matter he
furnished. Such a price for their Ia
Dor would make Tennessee editors
think the golden age had returned. 3

HEAVY RAILROAD DTFALCATIOy.

HEAVY RAILROAD DIFABCAFION.
Perhaps the most notable feature
among the developments Of Wall
street last week was the default Of no
less a corporation than the great Penn
sylvania Railroad Company on its
guarantees promising payment of IN
terest on the bonds of the Columbus,
Chicago and Indiana Central road.
Some SIX years ago, when the Pennsyl-
vania trunk road sought to control a
through line to Chicago, it arranged
with the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Company to lease the Columbus,
Chicago and Indiana Central, guaran-
teeing the payment Of interest on the
first mortgage bonds of the last named
road, amounting 20 Sl5,S21, 900. With
this endorsement the bonds found a
ready market, commanding better
prices than could otherwise have OBJ
tanned, and they have continued to
circulate from time to time up to the
present time. The usual interest fell
due the first Of this month, but the
Pennsylvania company seems TO have
made no provision to meet it, and thus
far has vouchsafed no explanation to
the thousands Of people who bought
these bonds on its endorsement. Com
menting on the situation, the Financial
Chronicle says the reports since the
lease show that the Columbus, Chicago
and Indiana Central has once, if not
more than once, melted almost enough
to pay the interest on these first mort
gage bonds. But this favorable bal
ance has been steadily decreasing, and
yet very st angely not by a decrease in
the earnings but by an increase in
the expenses. We have not been able
to obtain the figures for 1874, but the
following shows the earnings and ex-
penses for the three previous years:

HoUsELEss, HUNGRY AND SICK.
Driven py the nclement weather from the
streets, thepoor daily enter the ST. Johns Guild
relief rooms In varick street, IN great numbers.
Covering, cold and wet In the passageways the
throng presented yesterday a spectacle even more
painful than that which has been daily witnessed
at this place during the past week. Shivering
wretches In thin clothing. their roughly shod feet
wet with the melting snow, were wedged together
and few words we're spoken. while all eyes were
fixed on the door OF the main once with q look OF
mixed desperation and hopelessness. Ill news"
It has long been said, "travels last" and GER
tainy the understanding that the Guild had little
left, either in Its treasury or stOreroom, was not
slow In communicating itself to the ever
increasing crowd. Many face became express
sive when the doiefu news was told where all
expression before seemed dead. In this motley
gathering were the young and the ola. Pale
laced and half led little ones. whose stockinGless
feet looked blue and frost-otten as they emerged
from under thin, tattercd skirt and were lost in
pair OF broken shoes, many sizes too large for
the wearer; young mothers with gatherings Of
vice. pinched children hanging to their skirts, and
men and women bowed down and decrepit from
age-an these made up the hungry, shivering con.
gregation Of the wretched.

of the city many are daily sent to the Guild.
Should any one be able to draw from the Master
OF the Guild all the lacts his possession bearing
upon this subject, public opinion might be so rev.

mates, Tor whom we shall always feel pity as
surely as We shall always have them VITA us.
