The Delaware and Hudson Report.

The report Of the directors of the Della
ware and Hudson Canal Company for the
year 1876 appeared in two Of the newspapers
of this city yesterday morning. With that
magnificent insolence which unfortunately
is Characteristic OF the officers Of great cor
porations, copies OF the report were refused
to all the other journals, upon the ground
that the furnishing of them was a favor to
which they were not entitled. 1t would be
interesting to know what constitutes MGR
itorious conduct In the eyes Of the Delaware
and Hudson magnatcs, and how their good
will is to be earned.
The report as printed, begins with strain
II mingled apology and encouragement
which reminds one Of Mr.. JOHN TAYLOR
JoHSsroN's famous circular published last
autumn respecting the affairs OF the New
Jersey Central. Mr.. JOHNSTON remarked
then Of his bankrupt corporation, that its
affairs never were In better condition, nor its
prospects brighter; but the stock went on
falling steadily from 70 or thereabouts, until
IL is now about 10, with the probability of
being wiped out altogether under the opera
tion Of a recelvership. In like manner the
Delaware and Hudson directors now assert 4:
THE finances Of the company are sound condition,
wholly unwarranted Ihs manassrs can only express
nnaer de ,sngsnes Of sppSeeasdn caused Gy
in iactp
In support Of this comforting assurance
we are furnished with the following state
ment Of the company's business for the year
1876:

1t appears from this that the net profits
for 1876 amounted to only s3Os,o2O. The divi-
dcnds paid during the year were, we are
elsewhere informed, derived entirely from
the profits earned In 1875 They were one
Of five per cent, paid in February, and one
Of four per cent, paid in August and together
they amounted to Sl,3)O,O00. Now, as the
price Of coal and the number OF tons sold up
10 Sept. /, 1876, when the coal combination
broke up, were quite as large ms during the
corresponding period Of 1875, IL follows that
tho company's profits for the eight months
ending Sept. I, 1876, must have been 81 ,2o0,-
600; and il tho profits at the end of the year
were reduced to e31s, 900, it must have been
because the loss during the last four months
of the year was 100000. At this rate the
entire loss for the current year would be
s2,7OO,OOO; and this shows the company to
be in imminent danger Of bankruptcy.
Startling az this conclusion may he, It is
measurably confirmed by a paragraph in
the report itself in which the directors say:
In concluding this report, It may he added for the
estimate N The value of their property That tho nN'd
annual eharges inendng interest ana rentals 9nl liv
dollar. rhe receipts applicable TO their payment and
fAeiunlNe VI ahJ pioHt on SV"i wv
Millions
SO that, supposin ing there is no loss what
ever on the coal business the company is
running behindhand at tho rate Of one mil
lion Of dollars year. That there Is a loss
on the coal business at present and an enor-
nous one Is indicated by the figures, al
ready given, Of the oompany's transactions
for the year 1876 according to which, these
are the items Of cost OF producing the coal
marketed:

The actual sales Of coal, most OF which
were made during the era thigh prices
which prevailed until Sept. /, were, allowing
for dimnution Of stock on hand Dec. 81,

than 81, 00O,O0o. Tho number OF tons which
the sales represent is carefully suppressed,
but We believe IT, Ia about 10000, 80 that
tho price obtained was about 81 n ton. The
price now is only on an average 50 per ton,
and at this rate there will be n loss on the

A Kings Legacy.

The Baltimore american says: Until
very lately on occasional fine days a VEN
cradle lady much bent in figure. but
with an air OF distinguishment about her,
might have been seen walking slowly
down Charles street avenue, leaning on
the arm of young and handsome man
of medium height, squsrely built figure
and dark complexion. There was some
thing so out OF common about the couple
that passers-by who did not know them
stopped to take second look and won
der VINO they were. People who were
we'll acquainted IN the city stopped also
and remarked one 10 another, There
are Madame Bonsparte and her grand
son" The venerable lady was the
widely.renowned Madame Bonsparte,
and her escort was Charles Jerome Bon
sparte, her grandson; rising member
OF the Baltimore bar. Recently the dis
tnguished lady, now nlnety-odd years
Of age, has become very feeble, and does
not venture out OF doors, and there are
grave apprehensions that her romantic
aud most eventtul career is last sp-
proaching its close.

A solid Union.

Mr.. Henry Watterson has unburdened
his political rosom to q reporter OF the
New York Tribune in his characteristic
ally tropical manner. He doesn't think
the Presidents trip and policy have
made any impression upon the South or
single Republican out OF single Dem
ocrat. The only kindly hand that has
been stretched out to the South has been
tn It of the Democrats of the North. of
the South should take Mr.. Hayes at his
word, it has no assurance but that ne
would prove another Andrew johnson"
The Old Line Wings, Mr. Wstterson
thinks, are entirely dead, and the tenden-
CIV of events is to make the Democrats
Overwhelmingly confident OF victory in
1880, and TO consolidate the Republicans
around General Grant. About the time
the conventions meet there will be re-
volt against the dilletanteism, and ma
chine politics will be the order OF the day.
There will be three parties in field, the
Democrats, Republicans and "amsteurs
and Molly Goodies" and the result will
be to give every State IN the Union to the
Democratic nominees.
