TELEG RAPBIC ITEMS,

The Sun says of the Chinese bill:
This Infamous bill, repGdiatiDg, as it
does, the solemn pledge of the nations
faith. was passed by both the House
aud Senate In the face of our treaty of
1868. with China. If China two or
three years ago had broken this treaty
and denied to American citizens free
access to her territory and undisturbed
residence there We should have gone
to war with China. If the treaty had
been with England, or France, or Ger
many. instead of China. We never
should have dared to break it. We
should have known that the outrage
would be followed by a call to fight. and
that we should have been obliged to
make that fight under the flag of our
own dishonor.
A letter from William Lloyd Garrison
is published this morning. 1t says of
Blaine's course on the Chinese bill:
The reasons advanced by him are such
as we're formerly urged By some against
freely allowing the Irish to emigrste to
this couB,ry. against emancipating the
Southern slave population. and against
labor saving machinery, as reducing the
wages of labor. They are not born Of
reason, justice or historical experience.
The Republican party is doomed if it
shall consent to be led BY him in that
utterly iudefensible prescription.

VIRGINIA q rRUCKEE RRILRoAD.

81. M. Yer:ngton, Superintendent of
the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, has
submitted to the Secretary of State. a
report of the operations of the Com.
pany for the year ending December
3lst 1878. Mr.. Yerington says be sub
mits the report according to law, yet
strange to say. it is the first report of
the kind ever submitted TO the Secretary
of State. as the law reqniling such re-
ports to be made prescribes no penalty
for noncompliance with its provisions.
According to the report. the capitsl
stock of the Company is 5000, 600,
and the amount actually expended FOR
the purchase of lands, construction Of
tue road, rolling stock and bulldogs. ia
given at S4.835.20 rs. The total re-
eeipts of the road for 1873 amount to
Sl,6o4. 442 SO. and the total operating
expenses for the same time, SS79 .4i3 SO,
making the net receipts S725.U92 IS
The total dividends paid during the
year amounted to $3.50, 900. or SIS. coo
more than the ne. receipts. The Vir-
ginia Enterprise, which publishes the
full statement, says as it is sworn to by
Mr.. Yerington. Superintendent. and
Mr.. Thornton. Secretary of the Com
psny. We must accept it as accurate.
According to the report, the net earn
ings last year paid between fifteen and
sixteen per cent. on the amount of
capital invested 10 constructing and
running the road. This indicates that
the profits of the road are not excessive.
and of course it is expected that the
Legislature will not bankrupt the Com.
pany by reducing fares and freights.
1t was, however. stated in what par
ported to be a sworn examination of
the managers of the road before the
Railroad Committee of the Legislature
at Carson last week, that the original
books of the Virginia Il Truckee Rail
road Company were destroyed in the
great fire IN Virginia City some years
ago. and that the actual cost of building
and equippiug the road was unknown.
liz that evidence was true, the state.
ment submitted TO the Secretary of
State may be inaccurlte, as it is hardly
probable that nearly $1,000. 900 was in.
vested in constructing the road. The
report will accomplish the purpose it
was intended for, however-that of fur
nishiug the Legislature pretext for not
present rates, and that will satisfy Mr..
Yerin2ton and the Company of which
he is Superintendent. With the figures
of the Superintendent before them, the
Senate and Assembly cannot now do
less than give the Virginia & Truckee
Railroad Company a vote of thanks for
being public benefactors, and pass q
relief bill for the Company for tie
amount of $25, 900, that being the e.
cess of dividends over the net earnings
of the road for the year 1878. Mr..
YeriDgton does not state how this
S25, 600 was obtained, bat ii was prob.
ably borrowed at high rate of interest
for the purpose of convincing the pub.
Lie that the road was paying. and law
makers that il was not.
