At eight o'clork, a large number of persons, consisting of the visiters trom the Upper Hotel, the residents of West Point, and the occupants of this house, were assembled in the magnificent drawing-room, for the purpose of wit- nessing a series of tableauz,"which were gotten up by a few enterprising and amiable individuals, whose whole object seems to be to devote themselves to the happiness and pleasure of those amongst them. It would be im- possible to portray in sufficiently glowing colors the ail- mirable representations with which we were delighted. Of a few of the most familiar to us, and which, in the crowd we were eile to see, we will make ¢light mention. We regretted that we were too late for the opening scene of “Chovy Chase;” but as we entered the room, ‘the exclamation of ‘beautiful!’ burst upon our ear, and if we can Judge of the wholo by the glance we caught of the lovely Miss W—s, aa the curtain fell, we would cl.cerfully respond, “beautiful indeed.” The characters were impersonated by Misses McB——y and Woight and Morning? created © grat sensation, th ; a if created great sensation, the each in her own peculiar style.

At this rate, the aggregate earnings for the present fiscal year will be upwards of two and a half millions of dollars, which, with the surplus in hand at the commencement, will make a total of £5,000,000. The company estimate the gross earnings for the present year at $2,000,000. In the estimate, August is put down at $150,000. The actual earnings were #205,851 37. Increase ou estimate in one month, $56,881 37 To the plain unvarnished statement of facts afd figures which we have made in reference to the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company, we have 48 yet seen no other reply than the ery which asaal 1¥ Comes from speculators when any of their rotten schemes are exposed. Not one material statemen made by us, bas or can be denied. We shall not #top to bandy words or quibble upon fractional items, either with our cotemporaries or correspondents. We give the figures in proof of every statement made, aud if wrong, would like to be put right. An organ of the clique of bull speculators undertook a few days since to show that the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company could pay ten per ceat dividend out of the net earnings of the prewot fiscal year, ending April 1, 1866. It puts down the capital at 6,100,000; receipts, $1,023,000 ; interest, $245 000 ; cperating expenses 46 per ceut—leaving for dividend, $515,000. Now we undertake to avy and prove, thst not one of the above statements are either correct or even approaching correctness. The capital wiated, is not the entire eapital by at least the whole floating debt, amounting 9% admitted, on the lst of July last, to $132,000. The receipts are overestimated by at least $150,000. The interest is simply the Interest on ths elev n Ciasacs of bonds, and does not Include ons doll a of interoat on bbe Mlosting debt, oF Maanolering for the ————— OO —C—F same; and laat and most absurd of ol, the ope rating expenses are pat dowa at 45 per cent, ‘which is too low by at least 10 percent. No man of any experience in railroads, who knows the situation of the Cleveland and Toledo, estimates the operating expenses at less than 60 per cent, We are willing, however, for the moment, to call it 56 per cent, and show by the following table that in- stead of having $514,000 for dividends, there will be a much amaller a Grows coceipts to April Is, 1856, Give mouths officially TORI 6 55 sssheiass Sd teereseretesessecss 900,000 Operating expenses 66 per cen’ 000 Tatereat on funded debt........... +.

Railroad property is deceptive. It is an easy matter when a road is new to pay high dividends, especially while a constenction account is kept open, into which can be smuggled a auflicient amount of the eur- rent operating expenses to leays the required balance for division among stockiolders. When, however, the day arrives when no more stocks and bonds shall be issued, and the construction account is closed, and the roa requires, as all ronds must in a very few years, relaying, renewal of engines, &e., &e, all to be paid for out of earnings, then the company, with no surplus on hand, noaeservation made for the extru- ordinary cxpenditures, finds an accumulation of years of wear and tear on its hands, with no meana to mect it except to escape paying dividends. Railroad companies which have for years paid large dividends, and paid out more thap their gross in- come every year, have at last been not only obliged to suspend, but have bad to issue new bonds for a general revewal of track and equipment. Companies which pretend to operate their roads at such a small per cent of gross earnings, invariably have to atop their dividends and increase their debt torepair their track, &c. Ifthe construction ac- count of the Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Com- pany was closed to-day, its gross income would be rapidly abaorbed in properly operating and repair- ing the road. The constraction account cannot be closed. Toa dividend paying company it ia of tho highest importance that it shoald be kept open. Nota railroad in the country could pay more than two or three percent dividend per annum, without aconstruction account to take in a portion of the current operating oxpenses. The Wew York Cen- tral Railroad Company let its track and equipments run down 40 low, in its efforts to pay large divi- dends, that an expenditure of $3,000,000 was re- quired to bring it up again, for which a new issac of bonds was made, and that amount added to the company's debt. The Stonington Ratlroad Company suspended its dividends about a year since, to apply itsearnings to relaying the track. The Harlem, New Haven, Hudson River, Erie, and scores of other roads, find so much of their earnings actually absorbed in operating, that dividends are out of the question. The Cleveland and Toledo Railroad isin an un- finished condition. It is bat 109 miles long, and has already a capital of nearly $7,000,000. Bonda after bonds have been issued, till there are eleven distinct classes in the market. The last issue was sold under 65 per cent, What the next will bring is best known to those who privately parcelled out the last. ‘The absurdity of valning Cleveland and Toledo at its present market prices will, perhaps, be more readily perceived by comparing it with some other roada locoted in its immediate vicinity. If Cleveland and Toledo is worth 87 per cent, we can show that some other roads are selling at only about one-qnarter of their actual value The Cleveland, Painesville and Astabula Railroad from Cleveland to Erie, (minety miles,) finished, cost $3,000,000. Earnings for six months, ending July 1 $591,000. The Erie, Northeast and Buffalo (State line) roads finished, Erie to Buffalo, ninety miles, cost $2,900,000 Earnings for six months ending July, $498,000. The Cleveland and Toledo, unfinished, 109 miles cost $6,700,000. Earnings for six months ending July, 1865, $442,758, Thetwo roads from Buffalo to Cleveland, 180 miles, cost $6,000,000, Earnings from July 1864, to Jnly 1865, $1,850,000, The Cleveland and Toledo, 109 miles, cost $6,- 700,000. Earnings from July 1964,to July 1955, $794,500. If a stronger or clearer illustration of the abaurdi- ty of paying anything like market value for Cleve- and and Toledo, or of holding it at present prices, 4) vanted, than this, all we can say is, go on in your blind ignorance and take the consequences. To place the matter, if possible, in a still stronger light, itis only necessary to show the financial position of the Galena and Chicago. Amount already expended on cago... Estimated expenditures, WUE ir esciegsccrcusseenisansrenntente 241,263 This road will coat when finished bat $500,000 more than the Cleveland and Toledo, unfinished, and only one-half the length. The Galena and Chi- cago earned in six months, ending September Ist, $1,133,819, and the Cleveland and Toledo in the same time, only $426,744. The earnings of the Galena and Chicago in August, the poorest month in the year, exceeds the earnings of the Cleveland and Toledo for the last taree months by $49,435, and only lacks $27,530 of being equal to the re- ceipts of the latter company for the last four months. When in addition to the above figares it is considered that instead of a floating debt to be fivanciered for in these aqually times, the Galena and Chicago has an actual sarplus of over $530,000, with a road easily worked at 46 per cent., and not a patch-work, double-jointed, double guaged, bydra- headed concern like the Cleveland and Toledo, we do not think it can be denied that either one stock is selling too high or the other too low.
