Saving by Economy.


Railroad Gazette, June 26I
While some of the United States rail-
road companies are required to make an
nuai returns of their operations TO the
States, and in a few States the reports re-
uuired are such as to give very COM
plete view of the condition and busi-
ness of the roads, the collection of the
greater part Of the railroad statistics Of
this country is yet work of private en-
terprise and necessarily undertaken only
as q means of profit. The returns, too,
being furnished voluntarily by the rail-
road companies, some Of them naturally
fail to make them, and it is not possible
to collect information as fully as II it
were required by the State. Neverthe-
less, an approximation to completeness
has been reached, and the advanced
sheets of the introduction to POOT'S Man
udL for IS75-76, which have been kindly
furnished us by the publisher, Indicate
by the figures given that only a very
small proportion of the mileage OF the
United States is omitted, and that the
portion, probably, which has the small
est earnings. This year, as for the two
previous ones, the Manuel, which is to
be issued early next week, contains an
Introductory chapter in which the
great body Of information col
lected is summed up and digestedp
as it were, so as TO give general view
as accurate as possible of the whole rail-
read system OF the country. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that owing to
the system, or lack Of system, with
which reports are made, the reports from
which this summary are prepared do
not all cover the same period Of time.
The State reports cover years ending
with June, with August, with Septem-
ber and December, while the companies,
where State reports are not required,
make reports for fiscal years ending with
every month in the year. The reports
are the latest furnished, but while some
of them may extend some months in
1878, others may be nearly year older,
SO that while the year is callld 1874 it is
only for convenience, and because it
represents the nearest year. This, OF
course, cannot be remedied in any way
or by any authority known to Us at pres
ent. OF the figures given in the intro
ductiOn, we present the most important

That human being should be suffo-
Gated in Philadelphia prison van, is a
disgrace to humanity, and that jury
after hearing all the facts of this most
disreputable case should content itself
with simply declaring that "the rights
Of humanity demand the removal OF all
such vans" is, to say the least, surpris-
ing. Such verdict virtually exOner-
ates public officials whose imperative
duty it is to see that the rights OF indi-
vidusls age respected. Among those
rights is the enjoyment of pure air and
water to sustain life. Both Of these were
in this case denied, and the result is be-
fore us. That instead Of James Laugh
lin only, a half dozen more Of the in
mates OF that cruel van did not perish,
is miracle, for II we are to credit the
testimony given at the inquest, it is
almost incredible that any Of them
should have escaped with life.

further particulars concerning him,
which may prove Of additional IL.
tersst to the public, and an ad-
diional warning TO fast young men.
Among other things, our report
er coTrects some errors in re-
gard 10 the conduct Of Ely, Harvey q
Richardson. The properly transferred
10 them did not belong to Mrs. Chas-
taiue's private estate. II was given to
her by her husband, to whom il had been
transferred by Mr.. Pope, The gentleman
in Arkansas to whom he made bis con-
siznments. 1t was, therefore, in fact the
u orsTty CT the firm whom Chastaine
defraudef, and in receiving It
they were merely getting back
their own Another correction we
ought TO make, is that Ely, Harvey d
r chardson, did not decline to prosecute
but :ssuy Intended TO lay the facts be-
fore the grand jury so soon as their
movements would Justify it; and the
fofgely by Chastaine was not committed
on The firm ne robbed, but on member
Of il, Mr. Ely, the note being drawn by
mis- friend Pope in Chsstsine's favor.
His employers acted with discretion, and
es fast ss their interests and that of the
public would permit, and Chsstaine
knew very well that they intended to
prosecute, hence his escape.
