In response to letter inquiring with

A DETAILED statement is given
by competent authority, OF railroad
operations in the United States dur
ing the twelve months ending April
/, 1881. From this data it appears
that the number of miles actually
constructed amounts to Glib, the
number of roads being 1874. The
number Of miles projected amounts
to IA ,277, the number OF roads being
1S2. Thirty-seven projected roads
are capitalized to the amount of $685.
635 900, the total mileage being 1854.
For each mile of road there is issued
therefore, about ST. ,625 of capital
stock. The number Of miles OF road
constructed in 1880 amounted to g.
241 +; in 1879 to 4,721; in 1873 to q
697; in 1877 to 2,2S1; in 1876 to
2,712; in 1875 to 1,713; in 1874 to
2.104 f.; in 1878 to 4,l07; in 1872 to
5,S77; in 1871 to 1879; in 1870 to
500, in 1869 to 4,6l5. 1t thus ap-
pears that railroad construction is
again approaching the magnitude it
reached just before the great panic.
More miles were built in 1871 than
in any other year. There were only
% miles in operation in 1880; in
1881, Y miles were constructed.
The number of miles in operation in
1879 was Sc ,497.

SENATOR MALONE is "all broke
up" so to speak. A Washington
special to the New York Sun says
the Malone party in Virginia has
received all the support it will get ;
that Secretary Blaine strongly advi-
ses the Republicans to enter into no
coalition with the Mahoneites and
that it was at Secretary Blaine's in
stance that further patronage was
withdrawn from Malone. Accord
ing to the same authority, the Re-
publican leaders Of Virginia have
about determined to cali a conven-
ton Mahone's convention occurs
on June ., in Richmond. 1t promi-
ses to be very exciting affair. Eff
forts are being made TO have it large

ginia say that the Malone excite
ment, which has died out elsewhere,
still continues at fever heat in that
State, and an even more exciting
canvass than that Of last fall is look
ed for.

CONKLING.

The situation at Albany, on the
Senatorial question, remainE I'M
changed. The Garfield section still
maintain their position of refusing
to enter the caucus and be bound by
its decision, and they claim q mum
Der more than sufficient to defeat
the election of Conkling and Platt.
The Conkling section say that if the
Senate Caucus Committee refuse to
join in calling a joint caucus, they
will get the signatures of majority
Of the Republican members and thus
force a caucus. Still the Garfield
men say they will not be governed
by such proceedings, and if they hold
fast to their position there is no way
to prevent a dead lock. Some of the
Garfield members are so confident Of
their strength, that they believe they
have a majority against the re-elec-
ton OF Conkling and Platt. The
Conkling members laugh at this
claim, and say if the Garfield supper
tiers really believe that they ought
not hesitate entering the cancus.
They say the same claims were made
last January prior to the election of
Platt.
