Among the asscts wns n claim of 125,000 ngainst a man named Tay- lor. This was now inthe courts, and whether the depositors would get anything out of it or not depended on praving a partnerslip between him and other parties. “Anuther of thé {tems of 1he nasets was a $15,000 clalm ngatust o party in Altany, which woa regarded oa worthlees; and still another was a hopeless cladm againat Hen- ry Clews & Co., of New York, for $3,803, and unother agalnst’ the stockbolders for about $10,000. {{e bLelleved the stockholders to Lo baokrupt, and tbat no business man conld he found who wounld be swilling to take the asscts and finy 10 cents on' tho doltar.

At the lsst regular monthly mecting of the Dircetors of the Daltimore & Oblo Rail- road Company, Mr. John Garrett, the President, inade s very Interesting state- ment relative to his late trip of 7,000 milcs over the vonncctions of the Baltimore & Ollo Rallroad to ths Pacific, embodying his vicws as .to tho lessons that Baltimoro business men, and othiers, might learn from his vxperience. He stated the prospects for Increased busincas, in viaw of the great wlvantages of tho Port of Daltlmure, nand its geograph- feal position as regards the citfes of Chlcago, 8t. Louls, Cinclnnatl, Loulsville, cte. Ho called - nitention to tho fact that the Clnclnnatl Southern Rallrond would be open for 160 miles from Cincinnati to a point soutn of Danville, Ky., by Jan. 1, 1877, v and that §t was expected that the entiro line from Cincinnat! through Kentucky to Chatta- n»';x_gn, Tenn,, would be comploted by July 1, 1877, Mr. Oarrett stated that lio looked for o lnr((f'o increase of business between Clnelnnatiy nnd Baltlinors on nccount of the fmmense gain in distancs by Cincinnati’s using Baltimore ns {ts Atlantlc port. The adysutage by the Baltl- more & Ohlo in distance, uscompared with Now York by the New York Central Road to Clacin- natl, was 304 miles. Mr. Garrett also alluded to the Interest of the City of_Baltimore {n the Baltimore & Ohio Rail- rond. The city owned $3,250,000 of ‘stock, on which it had received for many years 10 percent stividends, making a profit directly, in cash, an- nually, on this investincn! beyomf the intercat it pall on tlio bonds [ssucd in payment for this stock, Thisdlfference between 6and 10 percent wns §180,000° u year. Besldes thls, tho city owned its prqtort on of the surplus fund of tho Baltimore & "Ohlo_Rallrond Company, viz.: of $34,000,701.08. This preat fund had licon luvestod in fmportant and invalua- blo _extensions and - improvements of the Baltimore & Ohio Rallrond, not only In Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, but also in Indiaus, 1liuols, and other Btates, Bu{ which a vast busincss had been brought to timore, and through which thateity had been sustained, nnd strengthened, and made successful in her rivalry with New York and other Atluntic cities.” The proportion of the City of Baltmora In this great surplus fund, dne to {ts ownership 1n tho stock of tiie roud, was £8,410,033, so that, instead of the City of Bultimore having but £4,250,000 In tho road, it nmll&aowncd of tho ¥ §11,00,083. capital the vast swin of ERIE & CIICAGO. Tt Is rumored in rafirond circles that the Erfe & Chlcago Line, which was formed a littlo less than a year age, s about to be dissolved, as there has been consfderable quarreling between the various ronds constituting the line ever sloce its formation. When it was first formed 1t promlsed to become ono of the best through- possenger lnes between this clty and New York, It was furnished with the best of Pull- man's hotel, palace, and sleeping cars, and Mr, D. W, Hiteheock, who was nppolntcd Ueneral Agont, did ull fu hils Eowur to sccure the com- fort ot Its patrons.. But in spite of his untiring efforts, and although tho lne did o fair business all along, yet it s understood to have eunk o hr%e smount of money, mainly duo to the rallroad war and the consc- quent reduction In possenger rates, Had this not broken out, aud tho rate remained as high as formerly, there can bo no doubt that the rord would have been o suceese, But with the prevailing low rates, neither Mr, Hitcheock nor uny other man, howeyer able, could make the line o paying one, Mr, Hitcheock hes taken time by tho torelock and severed his conection with tue Erie & Chicago, and rone back to his former love, the Chlengo, Burlington & Quincy, Tha fact that no new man has *been appolnted to Mr. Hitcheock’s position, and that tbe work is belng done by the Gencral Western Passen- zor Agents of the Baltlmore & Olile and the 110 Rallroade respectively, certnlnly looks as f the rumor in regard to tho disso- Jution of the lino at tho. end of fts Hrst year's existonce, which is next September, were correct. It is undorstood that the Baltl. more & Ohlo Raflroad is particularly opposcd to o further continuance of the line,” The man- agers of this road claim that most of the busi- ness which now goes via the Erle & Chicago would go by thelr road the entire distance, and that they ‘are therefors the greatest loscrs, “They also complain that the Erie Railrond s not acting falr. While the Baltimore & Onlo glves ull its East-bound New York traftle to that line, yet it gets hardly any of the West-bound traftic which the Erie” moatly Evm to the Michigan Central, The Baltimore & Obfo will, it fs stat- ed, nfter the dissolution of the Erie db Chi Mue, run through trains to New York via the New Jersey Southern Rallroad, which {s noyv In course of cunstruction, and which {8 unot con. lgl‘l{;ed by Col.

TIOSE OLD INDICTMENTS YOR GAMBLING—IN- TRUVIRW WITH TIIE FOREMAN OF TIE ORAND JURY WIICH PRESENTED TIE BILL, A Republicans news-gatherer called upon the Hon, John F. Long, Collector of this Port, at tho Customn-House, to learn what particulars e might remember concerning tho indlctments found against Messrs. George and John Knapp, in 1850, The Intorview is given o8 follows: Reporter—Judge Long, you may havo noticed In the Globe-Democrat ol Sunday Inst an ace count of cortain fudictments said to have been found by a Grand Jury of which you were tho foreran in 1850, = Judge L.—Yes, sir; Trcad thoarticle, and it vividly recalled an occurrence which at the tine considerably exclted by Indfguation, but which I cannot now think of without a smile, Reporter~~Are you willing, Judge, to givea briet statement of focts connected with the cir- cymstance, 80 far as your recollection will coa- bic yopto do sol Judge L.—Oh, certainly. At the thne referred w—nefi;—x was one of those summoned for scrv- fce ns Grand Juror, and by the sppolutment of Judge Lackland, fitled the position of forcman. In the carly part ot our scsslon, one Dr. » dJ. Carponter voluntarily presented him- solfas o witness befors us, and prescnted o long list of names—somo thirty-flve or forty—and embraclng gQuits o numberof our best-known and most-csteemed cltizens, testi- {led that each and every one of thoss named in the list had, to his knowledge, ployed cards and bet money on the game. Amongst others quite ns well known wera tho names of George and dJohn Koapp. Tho witness was duly cross-ex- amined, in tho course of which he adiitted that his presontation of this list of namcs was in- duced bg“ma dosfro to *get satlsfaction® for having lecn himself Indicted for an oflense such as s now su“lFm to charge upon these gontle- men. He testified that sums of 10 cents, and somotimes Jurger sums, were staked in theso 5nulcm I (Jur!ggu L.) was opposed to finding in- lctments upon such evidently vindictive and uncorroborated testimony, Carpenter admitting ‘e furnished it out of rovenge. We, the jury, therefore went before Judgo Lackland for lustructions In the premises, and wero by him informed that *in the eye of the {aw every man or person wagering ¢ven o small apum us 6 conta uponsa oo of cards was lNable to be termed a gambler,’? U‘mn this, I sought a dischargo from further servico as & Grand Juror, beeause I did not think—and do not now think—that th spirit of the law then existing was violated by A., B., and C. of the list meeting at onc anotifer’s resi- denees, and b the presence of one another's familics, playlng a social game of cards, at which, sometines, & dlme was wagered, but generally cfdcr, cakes, cipurs, {ce. cream, or other refreshments, of which it waa customary for all to partake. I knew such practiees ta be common and to be innocent, and was not willing to clasa the participators with the vile und depraved profesalonal gamblera against whom the penaltica of tho law were de- nutnced, Juu;ig Lackland heard mo patlontly but re- fused fo excuse me from duty, and on our re- turn to our room n vote was demanded on the list Carpenter had produced, and twelve of the Grand~Jurors were found who voted fora frue bifl agalnst them all. The whole thing was o furce—I opposcd the finding then, and of course have never changed my opinion since. I thiink I have 1u'l\'sm yout a tolerably full secount of theso terrible lndictments, e ———eere ORDWAY'S STATEMENT.
