The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1880-05-05
Lambertvilre, n. j., nay 5, 1850.

Two quite important events occurred on
Saturdayin cnnnection with the sneetings Of
the directors Of the Pennsylvania Railroad In
Philadelphia. One was the resignation of
Cal Thomas A. Scott from the position of
President, on account of illhealth, and the
other tbea1ecafati9n Of 3 per cent. SEMI
annual dividend. A few years ago the COM
parry after passing the dividend several times,
resumed by the payment of A per cent divi-
dendsl;; lhstyear it felt warranted by the in
crease insbusiness to declare five per cent.
dividend, and now, only six months ;ater the
prosperity of the company is so enorlneus,
that Ii raises the dividend to per cent. The
present condition and future prospects Of this
great road are most satisfactory. The retire
ment of Col, Scott is not much of a surprise,
As he had been in a feeble condition for some
years past. The burden and responsibility Of
running the road had for some time rested
nponst the shoulders of his able Lieutenants,
Roberts and Cassatt, who now step naturally
to the front as President and first Vice Presi-
dent.
Tie Governor of Mississippi, which is a Re
publican State, ruled by Democrats, has test
fled his appreciation of the part borne by p.

Under Democratic rule the City OF. New

days of catpetbagism. The police force Of
that city is largely composed of thugs, who
obtain appointment as reward for political
services. Under,c cover Of authority these fell
lows have become the most dangerous class Of
the communty, engaging in frequent biaw1s
aud aiding and abhttiDg the most notorious
craftsmen and shoulder-htters of the city,,
The demand for reform is loud and unanimouslI
on tile part of the respectable classes Even
the Democratic newspapers call for change.

ofexisted in New Orleans during Republican
