The eighth ordinary general meeting of
the West India and Panama Telegraph
Company (Limited) was held on April 81
Mr.. G. w. Earle in the chair. The chair
man said that the events which had taken
place recently in the West Indies showed
The value OF having Geographic commune
cation with those places. Since the re-
port was published they had received
Geographic intelligence that a sum which
tor some time had been in a state OF sus-
pense, namely, 4,G43l. los. ID, had been
paid by Demerara to their agent out there.
The colony of ST. Lucia had always paid
most honourably and most %punctually.
The foreign colonies he might say had also
been fairly liberal in comparison with the
other colonies of st. Thomas, Guadalcupe,
and Martinique, which were waiting the
technical or formal sanction Of the home
authorities before paying the subsidies.
The colony of st. Vincent had not yet
paid anything. Taken altogether, the
subsidy question was in fairly satisfacte-
ry state. The company's lines were oil
working in a satisfactory manner, but the
revenue of 43, 000L. a year was anything
but encouraging. He believed the only
Wav to increase the revenue of the COM
panv, and enable the directors to declare
a dividend, was to raise the tariff, a curse
to which, he contended, the various local
governments ought not to be opposed.
He moved the adoption of the report and
accounts. Mr.. w. Ford, in secondIng
the motion, expressed his regret at
the result of the working Of the
company during the two years the
present board had been in office. The
earnings of the company on the appoint
ment of the present directors were 29,2O6L.
This year they were 43,145L. That III
crease had been produced by the improved
technical worEi13 introduced by the pre-
sent management. He believed that no
cables were wor, ;ng more efficiently than
theirs, and the present condition OF the
comnanv was te be traced to its very In
c~eption. It was stated in the prospectus
that a report had been made on the proba"
BILE revenue to be derived from the compa-
ny's lines that report was based upon 9th
cial returns of the actual result of the ex-
isting Cuba line, and the probable receipts
from messages were given at 156,OOOt' q
year, and the expenses at 100000. a year.
It then gave the subsidies, showing a total
income of 17O,2OOl. working expenses,
2O,OOOl. reserve fund, 100000; leaving
the net annual income Of 140,20W. The
company was in a position to earn the rev.
n if the system was capable OF produc-
ing it. From January l. 1870 the syS'sm

TRIGUE FOR COLLECTOR CASEY.
Mr.. Eustis, who was last week chosen Senator by the
democrats In the Louisiana Legislature is gentleman
Of culture and wealth and OF high character and his
appearance here Is likely 10 give shape the
Pinchback question. 1t Is well known that several re-
publican Senators have been constantly opposed to the
admission of Mr.. Pinchback and II said early In
the session that II moderate OF either side came
up as Senator, with Governor Kelogg's certificate he
would probably get the seat There s however a ru-
NOR from New Orleans Of negotiation looking TO
delay in the decision here until the louisiana Legs-
lature shall adjourn, whereupon 1t is said Governor
Kellogg will cut the knot of tho difficulty by appointing
Collector Casey Senator who is to present his creden-
tias and bo admitted at To Mr.. Pinch
backs consent 10 this plan the report says he has
been promised the position OF Minister TO HaytL A
strong effort will be made by the democrats before the
Legislature adjourns to show why Senator West
should be unseated 1t is believed that the proceeding
would not be unpleasant to tho President who has been
at different times annoyed by Senator Vests per
tinacious opposition to appointments he wished to
make such as that OF Judge Pardee.
