1t appears from the premises Of the
contract of consolidation between
these companies that the arrangement
was based on the fairest and most
equitable consideration of the whole
subject. From these premises we take
the following memoranda:
1. The East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia earns about $4,000 per mile,
with probable increase of $1,000 at
least, on completion, or is in the same
condition in respect to gross earnings,
present and prospective, as the Mem
phis & Charleston.
2. The East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia have in first mortgage
bonds S65C0 per mile of 6 per cent and
Sl3, 800 per mile of 5 per cent, making
$1065 bond interest per mile, which
will be reduced at once to at least
$1,000 per mile. The Memphis &
Charleston bond interest charge being
$1,000 per mile, makes both equal in
this respect, as they are also in regard
to the mileage value Of properties.
3. The East Tennessee, Virginia 4
Georgia roads have Of common stock
$25, QUO per mile; preferred, $l5, 900 pc
mile; income bonds, $4,000 per mile
On the incomes the company is payinl
6 per cent.
4. If the Memphis q Charleston wa
consolidated with the East Tennessee

only be necessary to issue the sam

The Public Debt.

Comparison of the debt statement
issued to-day, April /, with that issued
one year ago, shows that during the
last twelve months the amount of bonds
actually redeemed was nearly S142,'
100000. So far as this reduction OF
the debt is concerned, the current lis'
cal year bids fair to be the most nota-
bic year in the financial history Of the
country. During the first three-quar-
ters just ended nearly $119,000,0O0 OF
bonds have been redeemed, cancelled
and destroyed. If this rate of redemp-
ton should be continued during the
remaining quarter, the total redemp,
ton for the fiscal year will amount to
over S15S,000,O00. Not less note
worthy are the official figures obtained
to-day from the Treasury Department
by your correspondent relating to the
receipts and expenditures for the first
three quarters Of the current fiscal
year. The total increase Of receipts
during nine months amounts to $685.
100000, as compared to the receipts
for the corresponding months last year,
and the expenditures were 81 100000
less than during the first three-quar'
tiers of last year. If The expenditures
Of the remaining quarter Of the cur
rent year equal those of the last quar-.
ter of last year, the total for the year
will be $25O,000,00O, or $20,000000
less than Secretary Folger's estimates.
it is pertinent to remark that the
Forty-sixth Congress, Democratic in
both branches, voted the appropria-
tions for the current year, and des-
pite the temptation Of an overAowing
treasury, the last Congress, though
compelled to make some extraordinary
appropriations for pensions and the
last census, succeeded in guarding the
treasury against any largo cxtrava-
gance in expenditures. In so doing
the Democratic House and Senate most
effectively aided the Treasury Depart
ment in reducing the public debt this
year. The present Republican Con-
gress is increasing the aggregate of
every Appropriation bill and is enter
ing upon other extravagances which
will impair the ability of the Treasury
to reduce the public debt largely next
year.-Washington correspondence of
the Detroit Free Press.

American Newspapers i'm 1852.

The American Newspaper Directory
which will be issued next month by Geo. p
Rowell & Co., Of New York, will contain
the names of 1851 periodicals in the u. s
and territories, which is gain of 344 in
the year just past. The number of daily
paper has increased I'm q somewhat larger
proportion, and is now represented by n 10
tai of 900 against 021 in 1881. The largest
increase has been in New York--10 dailies
20 of oil sorts. Illinois and Missouri show
a percentage Of gain which is even greater
while Colorado leads all others in the per-
centage of increase, both OF daily and week
ly issues. California, Nebraska, Nevada
Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Yer
mont. and West Virginia have fallen be-
hind 1881 in the total number of periodicals
issued. In Georgia, Maine and Massacbu-
sets the suspensionc have exactly counter
balanced the new ventures. In every State
not mentioned above, and In the Territories
there has been an increase.

conferred with the people of Montmo-

The AIpena City HOSPITAL,

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens of Alpena and vicinity,
that they have opened an Hospital
for the treatment of all Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets usat
that has long been felt in this COM
munity, whore large number Of I'M
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful at
tention and skilful treatment of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the Co.
operative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from So to So per year in advance,
and If taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will be taken
care of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are so moderate,
compared with the benefits received,
that this Hospital must commend it
self to the public as soon as it shall
be thoroughly understood.
Arrangements are made that one of
the Doctors will be on duty night and
day, when required by one or moro
patients.
DIR. Maiden's great experience as a
Surgeon during our late war, the last
year of which he had charge of o
large Military Hospital, together with
over twenty years practice, cannot be
questioned in its success.
DR.. Newton, although younger, has
had large Hospital experience, and
has particularly devoted a. good por-
ton of his time to the study of dis
eases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support Of this enterprise, es-
pecially by those whom it is most in
tended to benefit.
