After a very long delay, the Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post Roads has
succeeded in having passed bill 44O7, to
increase the pay of the letter carriers.
General Bingham introduced the bill at
the opening of the session. but it is only
now that he has been able to engineer 1t
through the House. The bill in
creases the pay of the auxiliary car
riers from $500 to 5000, and pro-
vides for their promotion at the end
of one years satisfactory service to the
higher grades of $500 and 81 900. The
Philadelphia Bulletin thinks this bill is
an act of the barest justice to class of
the public servants who are most deserv-
ing of such consideration. 1t says:
Few officials of any sort are harder
worked than the letter carriers, and very
few are engaged in a service so directly
affecting all classes Of the community.
Everybody depends. more or less, on the
fidelity, punctuality and accuracy of the
letter carrier, and everybody agrees that
work so well done should be fairly paid.
The bill now goes to the Senate, and it
will undoubtedly pass that body.

The Board of Directors Of the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Company
met in New York last Tuesday, Presi-
dent Baldwin presiding. The dividend
was passed and an official statement of
the company's business for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1882. was presented.
This statement placed the gross earnings
for the year at 81, 963, 1875, and operating
expenses at 7,414. O67, leaving the net
earnings from traffic, 81. $50, 758. "Other
income is placed at $3.50, 500. making
total of $4,792, 1856 The fixed charges
for the year were $3,744.5 $40, and taxes
amounted to 5000, 600, making total of
s., O54 200, which taken from the income
account leaves a surplus of $738, 1856.
From this amount the dividend of
$543, 900, declared February 10,
1882, and the possible loss" of the
$4,000 on the Georgia Railroad lease,
are deducted, leaving a balance to be
carried forward to the account of the
ensuing year of $94,256 A statement
was also issued by the company, giving
the estimated gross earnings" for the
second week of the present month, and
for the term from January to July IA,
compared with the corresponding pc
RODS of 1881. For the second week of
July, 1881, the company operated 1,S40
miles of road and earned $1S3, 900; for
the second week of July, 1899. it Ope-
rated 2,O25 miles and earned 1925, $50
an addition of 1856 miles and an increase
in earnings of 81. $50. From January
/, 1881, to July IA, 1881, the company
operated 1 $40 miles of road and earned

memOrialized Congress on the subject of
ocean telegraph companies. They set
forth that owing to stock watering and
combinations between the old compa-
MES the public pays two or three prices
for telegrapbic communication with Eu
rope. The bill now before the House to
charter a new company provides that it
shall not consolidate with any other coms

suggests that a provision be inserted pro-
viding that the company be not allowed
to charge more than % cents a word,
which rate was charged by all the COM
panies for a long time.

that it is pity an example is not made

seek to influence the markets by the in

instance, a report was circulated in Chi
cagH~t1e other day that three cases Of
yellow fever were known to exist in New
Orleans, and the statement was used in
an attempt to break down the provision
market. An inquiry directed to the
New Orleans Board of Health developed
the fact that the statement was wholly
false and malicious, and that there was
not now nor had there been a case of
yellow fever in that city since the one
reported early in June. The report was
circulated solely for the purpose of af-
fecting the Chicago market in the inter
est Of spectators.
