carried away bridges and large sections
of track on the railroads, causing
much damage to the roads as well as
seriously impeding travel. Water

THREE TRACks.-With a small out

Pennsylvania Railroad Company coull
soon complete the Pennsylvania Contra
Railroad 70 Baltimore, and then it woul,
have three through tracks. With a few
sidings at regular points it could bt
made to accommodate as much travel a.
the p, w & B. did twenty years age
when it had but single track. Thus
with two double tracks in effect the
Pennsylvania could do an immense
work, and no doubt earn enough, if the
money was so applied 10 pay ten per
cent. dividends. But as was mentioned
by the English stakeholder at the late
annual meeting, the earnings Of raii
roads are too apt to be divided apong
the "bosses" TO a heayy extent under
the inference that eight per cent. is
enough to pay the owners-to pay more
Is TO cause jealousy, envy and malice in
the public mind. This feeling leads to
the much practicsd mode of "Watering
stock" or duplicating shares so that
the dividend may seem lighter.

THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT {

THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHooLs.-Mr. Groves course az SUI
perlntendent of the free schools of the
State has gwen very general satisfac-
ton; and been perhaps as beneficial as
could be expected from the supervision
Of any one. But the proposition that
has been made to the Legislature 20 ap-
point superintendent for each county
ought not to be Objectionable. Three
ought to be able to render more efficient
service than one. No one will
attempt to prove that one man is equal
to three. There were more than that
number of applicants for the Office of
State Superintendent when the present
incumbent was re.appointed. Now we
take 1t for granted that one of such ap-
Plicarts would get the office; and We
have no doubt at all that either one of
these applicants would accept of the
Office Of County Superintendent. Five
hundred dollars is not very large salary
to be sure; but ii is sufficiently large TO
pay for ths duties in connection with
other duties which a Coanty SupeIiA-
tendent might also be engaged III. But
the salary is matter Tor Tue considera-
ton of the Legislature as the bill pro-
ceeds to Its passage or defeat.

LEGAL TENDERS Nor TO BE RE.
TURNED TO THE BANKs.-AfLer being
considered by the Cabinet for more
than a week the conclusion has been
arrived at that the greenback notes
that were deposited by tho Banks in
the Treasury TO take up heir bonds,
while the Funding Bill was pending,
cannot be returned, and Secretary of
the Treasury Window, has been d.
rscted to inform the Banks. In doing
20 he says:
"In this connection it should be sta
ted that no apprehension of unfavora-
BILE results need be entertained in this
matter. Since the 25th ultimo the de-
partment has paid out for bonds mr.
chased about sc, 500 600, and is TODAY
paying out on like account an add
tional amount of So, 900. In ad-
dition to these payments there has
been advanced from the Treasury
since the first instant to meet the nav.
ments of arrearages of pensions, the

THE suggestion of the GAZETTE that
the mortgage bonds due the State from
the p, w. & B., should with the other
convertible bonds be turned into stock
at par and paid at $50 per share, has
been acted upon By the Legislature.
1t is provided in the bill that the stock be
sold to the highest bidder and the pro-
ceeds invested for the benefit Of our
free schools. This is quite right. Blu.
1t would seem that the investment
might be made in the purchase of our
own State bonds, unless certain and
sure six per cent. security could be had
that would prove equally satisfactory
This would add about 10000 to the
public school fund and to that extern
increase the present dividends to the
school districts.
