NEW YORK, Jan. "A private
letter from an American resident
Of the City of Mexico states: 1--WE
! get lettefs and papers here from

by the Morgan line directed via
s Galveston, Texas Leave out
Morgan City, as that takes them
to New Orleans"
UnsOu P"c,nc Report.
New YORK, Jan. 4 The annual
report Of the Government Directors
OF the Union Pacific railroad states
that the gross earnings OF the com.
p9ny for 1880 are estimated at $25, :
OOO,O 900, of which the branch lines
only earned about $2,500, 600 The
Union division probably earned
SIS, $50, 900, aud. the Kansas nivis
Ion So. 750, 900. showing An increase
over the previous year of 81, SAC, 600
for the former, aud n large proper
tiOnxte increase for the latter. This
II accounted for by thu fact that
consolidation stopped competition,
and allowed business to go into Its
natural channel of transportation.
The operat ting expenses for 1889 are
estimated ut "A per cent. on the
Union and about so per cent. on
the Kama division, including re.
newals aud taxes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-7rufh says,
editorialiy: When the Morey let.
ter came to us, we believed 1t a gen.
uine letter Of Jas. A. Garfield. Our
belief became absolute conviction
when speaker Randall, Senator
Barnun, Orestes Cleveland, Alb
ram s. Hewitt and other promi-
nsnt members OF the Democratic
committee, all better able to Judge
than were We, unhesitatingly pro-
Iouncei IL genuine. Upon their
assurance we published it In the
form best calculated to impress the
conviction Of its genuineness upon
the people, hut when in Court the
envelope was cdt at the ends and
the siugte thickness of paper held
betwern the eye aud the light it re.
vealed for the first time the fact
that the original address upon the
envelope had besn erased and that
OF II. H. M0rey substituted; when
1t appeared that the Lynu hotel
register. which contained the sig
nature Of II. L. Morey, had no Gig.
nature upon Its pages when 1t was
given by ths hotel proprietors
TO the agent of the Demo.
cratic committee, who brought
IL here; when 1t appeared,
that The same agent procured the
attendance OF Samuel Morey, who
fAIsely swore to tbs existence of
Horny l.. Morey; when 1t ap.
peArGi that the same. agent WAS
active iu procuring Lindsay's sfii
davlt In Maryland. which induced
us 10 send for Lin,isay, who proved
tvbe cOnscienceiess perjurer; and
when the photographic experi-
ineuts with the Mnrey envelope
I stOved that ,.t least four addresses
ssAt beeu upon il, each erased in
turn, except the last two, with
acid, Asui the third with an instru-
mpnt, then the Truth made every
effort tn solvS the mystery aud as
certain the origin AMI history of
u . letter. Our Investigations re.
suited in the discovery OF positive
proof that th- letter Is an undoubt-
I'd forgery. Having made that dis.
COvery, VIZ now announce 1t as
prominently as wa published the
letter. that there may not remain
. trace OF the belief which unques-
tionabiy still exists, that 1t is gen.
ulne. We owe this to James A.
Garfield ~ an act Of Justice to him,
