COMMUNICATING TO-DAY.

A mating in the interest OF rallroad

P,r.srsbnrg will be held at the Nc
I,r. House today =, so P. NJ. Col. Il.
N ByRxE aud f. l.. BUrrsslCE, Esq OF
Charleston, AMI Hon. ]. II. RILEY and
DE-. WrrzsI Of Jackson county, arrived
in the city, Yesterday, TO attend the
meeting. Senator CAMDEN writes that
h. will reach here from Washington
this morning; and Col. W. p. THoNrsoY,
Hon. ". y. CHANCGLLoE and several
others are expected from Plrkersburs.
Il seems 10 BE- understood that, II the
peop,. along the line Will procure aeom-
n,et. survey OF the route and the night
of WAY COR the road and necessary side
,rlc,s.sw ,cE,s, &c, q syndicate OF cap
itslis.s hay a.rtsd with Senator CAM
DIX 10 furnish all tn necessary tunIs
70 build al squiD IN road. TIE
money with which to make the survey,
Nc.. should be raised by local subscrip-
lions along the line; and, as We under
stand, stock in the company will be
isSusl 70 the subscribers therefor.
There should be no difficulty in rails
ing sufficient local subscriptions for this
purpose. The road, when built
will h. valuable one to
Wheeling, and 10 every county
through which i viii pass; and the
monie,l men who have loOkei into tie
proposed enterprise are fully convinced
il will pay the stockholders.
The decisive step saouli be taken to-
day. This meeting should pledge IT.
sell TO meet the requirements oil the
syndicate and thus settle the question
of the building OF the r'al. \ new cor
poration should TO formed; subscrlp-
ton books should be opened, and all
the preliminary steps DE taken before
this meeting adjDurns. Tie articles Of
incorporation may bs written, signed
and recOrlet IN tins eltN. lhey

Charleston for recorlation and returned
to the Secretary OF State, aud then the
organization is rea ~ for business. By
the new railroad law passed this winter,
this document need not b. recorded in
every county which the roai isexpected
10 enter.
After leaving Ohio couaty, the night OF
way ought to be pretty easily procured.
With the 3. < o. and the p, W. * Nv.

DAKOTA has sent out q special Immi-
grafton Agent to Ireland. He is supplied
with official letters, maps, statistics, etc,
and intends to secure as large proper
ton as possible Of the Irish exodus TO
America this year for the land Of the
Dakotas. Though an agricultural peo-
pie a. home, the Irish have not taken to
farm life in this country b any great ex-
tent. They tind an immediate field for
them on their arrival as day laborers in
cities or on railroads, and from that they
are frequently converted into policemen
and politicians, but rarely into asricul-
turalists.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CIRCULAR

The Secret,ry OF the Treasury has an
nouncel the policy which will control
the department with references 70 the
odts.aniin. q per cent. bonds, IN the
circular which is published in our dis
patches this morning.
The Secretary hadtwo courses open to
him ior the rel.mP,i1a OF these bonds;
the one, mat which he has chosen, OF
drawing on his reserve funds for the
payment an cancellation OF the bonds,
with the option - the ho!lers OF an ex-
tension a, the rate Of 5! ias.-ad Of 8 per
cant. interest.
The other was the sale Of sufficient
number Of / auI4l per cents, author
lied by an existing act, to enable him to
call in the entire amount Of the out
standing > AMI 6 per cents. The / per
cents. under this sct are redeemable in
20 years, and the y per cents. in 10
wears. They csuld be sold, however, a,
the present marke; quotations at apre-
minm which would reduce the rate OF
interest to the government TO ) per cent +,
or no, more than 81 percent.
The Secretary has chos n to call in
only the per cents, under taiS arrange
meut, and no doubt depends upon the
holders choosing an extension OF the
larger part Of them at . per cent.
The per cent bonds must continue to
run a; ) per cent. unless some further
measure is taken TO refund them
al a reduced rate. But inasmuch
as the Secretary has not incluled them
in his call he probably has gone rs lar as
his resources will justify in trying TO
take care OF the skies.
This is patching up the damage coca.
stoned by the veto OF ths funding bill,
As well rs it is possible to 10 so, but il
still leaves the treasury 20 shoulder big
load which that Was designed to relieve.

THE work Of taking the census OF Great
Britain has begun, AMI within month
the enumeration will be completed.
The census OF India Was taken last week,
and the enumeration OF the subjects OF
VICTORIA in thoSs dOninions on which
the sun never sets will BE- completed
and submitted to Parliament in May.
In 1871 the census gave Great Britain
81 SS O6l. An estimate based on births
and deaths last June gave population
a million more. The present census
will il is estimated, give Great Britain
100000. In the tables making up
the total, Ireland steadily decreases,
going iroms,l75,l94, inlSil, to 5,S6S, $50
last year. Scotland, on the other hand
increased in the same time from 2,S6l,-
$50, in lS4l, to 5 65l ,292.

THE SPRING TRADE.

If there is 10 be any "spring trade"
tins year, it will necessarily be short
season. We will probsbly jump right
into summer weather, as we will proper
" into the summer season, in a lew
weeks.
Dry goods merchants, doubtless, ieel
that they have been cheated out oil
season, and the wholesale trade in the
East has been reported very dull Ter
some time past. The cold and Indictment
weather and the unusual length and
severity OF the past winter has had
depressing influence upon all
kinds OF trade. Most people have
consumed more and made less than
usual during the winter season. The
market for ali kinds OF merchandise is
reported TO be overstocked, and prices
are tending downward. Merchants are
naturally anxious to dispose OF what
they call their spring stock. Retailers
will not lie so ready to invest, as usual.
The confidence in the approach OF
summer season IS not yet altogether
established.
This condition oi things, We would
say, will enable people TO dress better :or
less money this year than last. 1t may
not have the same effect upon produce.
We will probably pay more for that than
last year, and the expenses OF living IN
the aggregate may not be diminished.
Much depends upon the condition OF
the season in the next few weeks. II
the weather proves favorable for crops
the business OF the summer season will
be unusually active, concentrating into
it, as it were, the suppressed activity OF
the spring, together with good summer

The names of these workmsn are
