this is certainly an encouraging exhibit
The Philadelphia Ledger says it shows
that
All the company's works west of Pitts
burgh fully pay their own costs and char
ges, and that their respective profits are
steadily increasing. Indeed of all the
Company's works, the only nOn-paying
portion is that of the United Companies Of
New Jersey; counting the workings of
this section of .he great through line on
the present ratio Of division Of costs and
charges and there Is an apparent loss Of
something over n million of dollars. Not
withstandiug this apparent loss, the com
pany has, in round figures, earned in net
revenue more than SIR per cent. on its c1Di-
tai stock. The time will come,
and probably the date is NOS remote, when
the United Companies Of New Jersey, the
main lines and the trunk lines aud branch
Cs west Of Pittsburgh will form one grand
consolidated railroad company, connecting
through TO the great lines Of roads that
cross the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific
Ocean. The Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany has passed q severe crisis, and is
looking 10 a lasting future. l. has 4 small
but positive sinking fund Of $50, 600 per
month. and has, during the past year,
earned six per cent. on its capital, treating
tue proceeds Of this sinking fund as assets,
as they undoubtedly are. There is no rea-
son to doubt the cOmpany's net earnings
fer the current year Of 1879 viii be more
than six per cent, after paying all fixed
charges Of interest and rents. and justice
aud equity wonid seem to require .hat the
annual dividends should reach that figure.

Mr.. McCrary saw solid phalanx of South
ern Democratic Senators standing squarely
across his path of ambition, and barring his
way to lucrative and honorable life posi-
ton in the federal judiciary. It was then
the metamorphosis occurred. It was Just
then that Mr.. McCrary decided on concilia-
ton. In other words, it. occurred to Mr..
McCrary that q few appointments of con-
federates might procure for him the support
of Democratic Senators. The motive is as
transparent as the change was sudden. 1t
remains to be seen whether or not Mr.. Nc.
Crary has placed the right estimate on Dem
ocratic Senators. In other words, the Dem
ocratic party will be interested in finding out
who, if any, of Democratic Senators can be
thus persuaded, induced Tor, not to put too
fine point on it, hired, to vote for MI. Nc
Crary's confirmation. One of the strangest
things about this whole official intrigue is
the understanding that Dillon will hold on to
his place as long as McCrary desires him to
wait, thereby losing several thousands that
he would gain by the immediate acceptance
of the Columbia college professorship. The
college authorities also wait humbly for Mr..
Dillon. It is said at the white house that
the affair could be kept in the condition 1t
now is until the end of this administration,

Chicago Business.

CHICAGO, July 19.-There has been con-
siderable excitement during the past week in
consequence of the rapid and unchecked de-
cline in grain and provisions on 'change.
Favorable crop reports, rumors that the
combination which has held wheat up for q,
few months past were selling out, and the
expected outbreak of fever in the southern
cities have combined to depress prices. The
decline in cash wheat has amounted to
about IA cents during the week. the lowest
sales being to-day, when on call wheat sold
for July option at S619. There we're ru-
mors of failures, but as far as known they
were only temporary embarrassments, and
all firms interested are expected to continue
business Monday.
Clearings were larger by million and q
half to- day than usual on account of heavy
deliveries of wheat by the combination. The
total deliveries made by them were II, OOO,-
600 bushels here and 100000 bushels in
Milwaukee. It is understood that they are
rapidly getting out of the deal, and the Gull
mination Of the break will come Monday il
has not already been reached.

HOW HE GOT 1T.

Mrs. Hayes the Chap Who Stands By
Ranaey-Ho'v' he May Not Get 1T.
Washington special DULY 17) Chicago Times.
Mrs. Hayes is credited with securing the
offer of war secretaryship to Senator Ramsey,
of Minnesota. Mr.. Ramsey has been hungry
for some Office ever since he retired from
the Senate. Ramsey, when Senator, used
to be found at every reception and dinner
where he could secure an invitation. He has
bland, unctuous smile, and gift for flattery
that makes him popular with eldery ladies.
Mrs. Hayes has been very friendly to Ramsey,
and at one time nearly secured the Berlin
ministership for him. Mr.. Hayes really
wanted to give Ramsey this place, but Mr..
Evarts does not allow any interference with
the appointments of his department., and SO
Ramsey had to wait until Mr.. Hayes han an
appointment that was all his own to give
him. But there is many slip between the
cup and the lip.

he is assured of judgeship. He is in

that has caused McCrary to remain in Wash

pense of a junketing tour.
There is very strong opposition organic
ing to defeat McCrary's confirmation as
judge. Even the appointment of few
CONFEDERATEs IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT

him. The Bourbon organ this morning, in
commenting upon these appointments, says
it has no objection to Mr.. McCrary's appoint

war department, continuing:

the war was ended, and that discrimination

At the time of his return from the Ea st,
Bishop Ireland spoke of having invited
many prominent citizens of Boston and New
York to visit Minnesota. That invitation
has been accepted and the excurslonists, to
the number of thirt, five, are at our doors.
They come to make q tour of the State under
the auspices of the National Catho-
lie Colonization society. Among
the thirty-five are n.any
prominent citizens, the notable of whom
ara the editor of the Boston Pilot and
several of his confreres. The excursionists
reached Rochester to-day, and will arrive in
this city about Wednesday of this week. It
is the intention of many of our Irish citi-
zens to tender the distinguished party q
banquet, and arrangements to that end have
been effected with the proprietors of the

fever in New Orleans this season. The

tine against Memphis. DR.. Chop in was in
structed to telegraph the president of the
Galveston board of health that rigid quar-
antine against Memphis is in full force /;
that no case of yellow fever existed in the
city. DR.. Rutherford, medical agent of
Texas, telegraphed DR.. Chopin that quaran-
tine against New Orleans was unwarranted

his official sanction of the Galveston quar-
antine against New Orleans.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT AT LOUISVILLE.
LOUISVILLE, July 19.-As to the city's estab-
fishing quarantine against Memphis, the fol
lowing from the Post and News of to- day fair
ly represents the public sentiment: We cannot
afford to 60 back on our humane and sensi-
bic record of last year, and there is no rea
son to do so, but it would be we'll for some
system to be adopted by which officers should
be stationed at some point down the road,
with strict instructions and full authority to
stop the bringing of suspicious baggage into
our hotels and boarding houses, and to turn
every case of disease which could possibly be
regarded as even incipient yellow fever, aside,
to a yellow fever hospital That would be
enough, while the city of Memphis is not
under the epidemic cloud nor suffering from
more than dozen cases, and these were not
caught one from the other. It would be an
unnecessary hardship to put the wives and
children off the train outside the city. We
must keep the yellow fever out, but we must
let the healthy come, and this is not i'm
possible. It seems to us we must not let
fleeing families with bundles of bedclothes
and other domestic rubbish into the city,
but where men and women in perfect health,
with change of clothing, wish to come,
they must be permitted. It would be folly
to try to prevent them. We can be more
careful than last year, and still lose none of
our good name for humanity.
ST. LOUIS ALARMED.
ST.. LOUIS, July 19.-The merchants of the
city held meeting to-day to adopt such
precautionary measures as will satisfy the
Texas authorities and avert the threatened
quarantine against ST. Louis. The follow
ing was adopted:
ReSolved, That the merchants request the
board Of health of the city Of st. Louis to con-
fer with the State boards of health of Arkansas
and Texas as to such quarantine regulations
as will be satisfactory to the people of these
States, and to enfore such regulations in the
shipment of all goods from st. Louis.
Resolved, That the merchants of st. Louis
individually pledge themselves not to ship or
cause to be shipped, from st. Louis to any
point in the South, goods or merchandise of
any kind coming from any infected district,
and are prepared to accompany all shipments
with affdavits to that effect.
The city authorities have been in tele-
graphic correspondence with Texas officials,

BUFoRD's DEFENSE.
OwENToN, KY, July 19.-In the Buford
trial Col Phil Thompson opened this morn
ing in behalf of the prisoner. He will be
followed this afternoon by Gen. Rodman for
Me State. The impression generally is that
Buford will not hang.
NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE HANGED.
MEMPHIS, July 19.-Napoleon Bonaparte
colored, was hanged at Sardes, Miss, yester-
day, for the murder of Tom Butler, colored,
committed on the 9Th of last August. The
execution was witnessed by crowd of 5000,
principally negroes. The condemned man
addressed the assemblage from the scaffold,
warning his hearers against evil temper. He
said he was the happiest man in Sardes. He
had violated one of the ten commandments.
It was right he should be punished. After
the black cap had been put on he asked that
handkerchief might be placed in his hand,
and he would give the signal when the trap
should be sprung. This was done, and when
Sheriff Martin had adjusted the rope the
condemned gave the signal for his own death
by dropping the handkerc ief. His neck
was broken by the fall.
A MISSING LINK.

Yankton daily Press, who has been out q
week searching for the remains of George
Lansphere, who was murdered at Grow
creek on the fourth, returned tonight,
having succeeded in finding the bones
Of the victim, mostly stripped of flesh
by wolves. He brought with him the
shattered skull of the murdered man. This
furnishes the final link in the chain of EVIL
dence against s. F. Beebe, who is here in
Jail awaiting trial.

NEW GASES DEVELOPED.

MEMPHIS, July 19.-Three new cases were
reported to the board of health this morning
Louisa j. and Viola Godsey, two sisters re-
siding at No. 48 Branford street, and Tom
Herman, passenger agent of the Memphis &
Charleston railroad. The illness of the
Godsey sisters can be traced to infection of
the Tobin family who recently died of yell
low fever. The young ladies were in atteld-
ance on Mrs. Tobin until her case was pro-
nounced yellow fever. These cases dispel
the sporadic theory. Hiram, Alley, son of
chief of police Athey, is dying, although
his case has not as yet been repol ted to
the board of health as yellow fever. The
chiefs residence is in the neighborhood,
as is also Tom Kernan's. The reported
death of Fred. Eckers was premature; he is
living, but lies in a very critical condition.
The weather is warm and sultry with occa-
sional showers. The development of new
cases have given fresh impetus to the exodus
of citizens.
ANOTHER VICTIM.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 10, P. Nevis
Brumand, aged 81, residence Hamond road,
near Leaney's Switch, has just been report
ed to the board of health az another new
case of yellow fever.
A GENERAL STAMPEDE.
MEMPHIS, July 19.-Another genuine STAN
pede of citizens is in progress. The rush
of railroad tickets this afternoon, recalls the
scenes of last Thursday week, when 5000
persons left the city. The desire of all who
jam on all the trains leaving Memphis to-
night. The officer of the Hebrew hospital
association to-day, furnished 100 Jewish
families with the necessary funds to obtain
means Of transportation to distant cities.
The city authorities are also sending all
widows and children out of the city. Three
new cases were reported to the Board OF
Health this afternoon. Resmodel, residing at
81 Clay street, and two children. These
make as the total number of new cases re-
ported for to-day. There are several sick
people in the neighborhood of Clay street,
whose cases are to say the least, very suspi-
cious. Business is paralyzed, and many re-
tail merchants are closing their stores, Fred
Eckers died. This afternoon, Mrs. Robt.
Hester, Chief Police Alleys son are both in
a critical condition.
Mrs. Robert Hester died tonight at 9
o'clock. The remainder of the family are
progressing favorably. Nearly all the small
towns adjacent, have enforced quarantine
against the city.

balance of the present State officers will be

the 154 already elected. Out of these Lud-
