THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The Official Report of Dr. Kane. The followirg i# @ copy of the official report of Dr. Kane, commanding second Grinnell expedition in eeasch of Sir Jobn Franklin, to the Secretary of the Navys— Our little party have returned in health and safety. We reached Danish settlements of Upernivik on Aho Gib of August, after an exposing travel of thirteen hundred miles. During this journey, which embraced alternate zones of ice and water, we transported our Boats by sledges, and susteined ourselves on animal food ‘exclusively by our guns, We entered port after eighty- four days exposure in the open air. Ihave the honor to subjoin a hurried outline of our eperations and results in advance of more detailed com- munications. My previous despatches make the department acquaint- ed with our arrival at the northern settlements of Greex- land. Thence I crossed Melville bay without accideat, and reached Smith’s Sound om the 5th of August, 1853, Finding Cape Hatherton, the seat of my intended beacon, shat out irom the sound by the more prom‘uent head: land of Littleton island, I selected this latter spot for my cairn, erecting a flag-staff, and depositing despatches, To the north the ice presented a dufting pack of the heaviest description, the actions of hummocking having in some instances barricades of sixty feet in ht. In my efforts to penetrate this drift, being driven back and nearly beret in the pack, I determined i the only means of continuing the search) to attempt a pas tage along the land where the rapid tides (here of twelve wo sixteen feet rise and fall) bad worn a precarious pening. Previous to this responsible step, a depot ot revisions with a metallic life boat (Francis) was care- iy concealed in a large inlet in latitude 78 deg. 26 min. e extreme str: of the Advance enabled her to sustain this navigation, Although aground at ‘the fall of the tides, and twice upon ner beamendy from the pressure of external ice, she escaped any serious disaster. Aftera month of incessant labor, cheered however, by a small daily progress, the new ice so close around us as to make a fu: penetratian impossible. With difficulty we found a winter asylum at the bottom ef a bay which opened from the coast in latitude 78 deg. 44 min. Into it we thankfully hauled our battered little brig on the 10th of September, 1853. From this point, as a centre, issued the explorations of my party. ‘The winter was of heretofore unrecorded ’ severity. key froze as early as November, and mercury re- mained solid for nearly four months. The range of eleven spirit thermometers, selected as standards, gave tempera- tures (not yet reduced) of aixty to seventy-five degrees ‘Below zero, and tne mean annual temperature was 5 deg. win. Fabrenbeit, the lowest ever registered. This extreme cold, combined with one hundred and twenty days of absence of sun, gave rise to an obscure, hut fata! form of tetanus, {loskiew.) The exertions of Dr. Hayes, the surgeon of the expedition, had readily subdued the scurvy, but these feartul tendencies to tonic rpasm defied our united efforts, This diserder extended % our dogs, fifty-seven of which perished, thus com- pletely breaking up my sledge organization. The operations of search were carried on under cir- eumstances of peculiar hardship. We worked at our sledges as late as the 24th November, and renewed our Yabor in March. Much of this travel was in darkness, and some at temperatures as low az 50 deg. The earlier winter travel was undertaken by myself in person, but by the aid of a Laps rs team of cogs, and the zealous co: eperation of my officers, we were enabled to replace the parties as they became exhausted, and thus continue the search until the 12th of July. It is believed that no pr vies parties have been so long in the field. M Brooks, MeGeary, Bonsall, Hayes and Morton nuccessively eontributed to the genera! result. The men worked with fidelity and endurance, il the explorations of our party. 8 Sound has been followed and surveyed through: out it# entire extent. It terminates to the northeast in a gulf 110 miles in its long diameter. @ i has been traced to its northern face, the ecast tending nearly due east and west, (E. 17 deg. N.) Ite further penetration towards the Atiantic was arvest- ed by a glacier, which offers an impassable barrier to fa- ture exploration. This stupendous mass of ice issues in 60 degrees west longitude. It ix coincident with the axis of the peninsula, and is probably the only obstacle to the insularity of Greenland, It rises 300 fet in perpendicu- Jar face, and has been followed along its base for 80 miles in one unbroken escarpment. ‘his glacier runs nearly due north, and cements together by an icy union the continental masses ot Greenland and America. It explains the broken and permanently frozen charac- ‘ter of Upper Smith’s Sound, its abundant icebergs, and, toa certain extent, its rigorous climate, As a spectacle, it was one of the highest sublimity. The northern Jand into which this glacier merges has been named Washington, and the bay which interposes ridley, it and Greenland i have named after Mr. Pea- ay. Peabody bay gives exit at its western curve (Ly 80 deg. 12 min.) to a large channel, which forms the interesting geographical feature ‘of our travel. This ehannel expands to the northward into an open and {co- Tess area, abounding in animal life, and presenting every ebsracter of an open Polar sea. A surfare of 400 square aniles was seen at various elevations free from ice, with a northern hoiizcn equally free. A north wind, fitty-two hours in duration, failed to bring any drift int» this are., It is with pain that I mention to the department my inability to navigate these waters- One hundred and twenty-five miies of solid ice, so rough as to’ ve impassa- Ble to boats, separated them from the neares’ southern laed. My personal efforts in April and May failed to con- vey one of the smallest India rubber boats to within 90 wiles of the channel, My party, including myself, were completely broken; four of them had undergone amputation of toes for frost Bite; nearly all were suffering from soury: on had so far advanced as to render another journey im- possible. To the north of latitude 81 deg. 17 mi whores of the channel became precipitous, and destitu even of passage to the sledge. Wiliam’ Morton, who, with one Exquimavx and a small team of dogs, had ched this spot, pushed forward on foot until a mural ape, lashed by a heavy surf, absolutely checked his pro- gress, It wag on the western coasts of thi to find traces of the gullaut martyrs whose search insti- gated this expedition. The splendid efforts of Dr. Ray— tow firet known to me—would have given sucha travel @ merely geographical value. Reviewing conscientiously the condition of my Leora is perhaps providential that we failed in the embarkation, The land washed by this sea to the northward and west ward has been charted as high as latitude 82 deg. 30 min. and longitude 76 deg. ‘This forms the nearest land to the gee yer discovered. It bears the honoved name of Mr. rinnell. Ax the season advanced it became evident that our brig would not be liberated, Our immediate harbor gave few gor of breaking up, and one unbroken ice surface ex- tended to the sound. It was now too late to attempt an escape by boats; our fuel was deficient, and our provi- sions, although'abuncant, were in no wise calculated to resist scurvy. At this juncture I started with five volun- teers on an attempt to reach the mouth of Lancaster Sound, where 1 hoped to meet the English expeditions, and afford relief to my associates.

The sick—four in num ber--were conveyed by our dog sledge. I had to sacri- fice my collection o’ natural history, but saved the dos ments of the expedition. The organization of this journey was caref to meet the alternating contingencies of i 1 water. It consisted of boats cradied upon wooden runners, with lescer eledges for the occasional relietof cargo. With the exception of reduced allowances of powdered breadstni? and tallow, we depended upon our guns for food; but a mal! reserve of Borden's meat biscuit was kept unused for emergencies. Onr clothing was rigorously limited to our fury. We walked in carpet moccasins, Our gieatest difficulty was the passage of an exteasive zone of ice which intervened between the brig and the nearest southern water. Al‘aough this belt was but eighty-one miles in linear extent, such was the heavy nature of the ice, and our dificulties of transportation. that its transit cost us thirty-one days of labor, and a actual travel of three hundred and sixteen miles. From Cape Alexander we alvanced by boats, with only eccastonal ice passages at the base of glaciers. At Cape York I erected a cairn and pennant, with despatches for the {nformation of vessels crossing Melville bay; and then, after cutting up my spare boat for fuel, embarked for the North Greenland settlements We arrived at Upernivik (as before stated) on the 6th iy mature! of August, without disaster, and in excellent health and spirits, ‘oughout this long journey my companions debaved with admirable fortit I should to them an pe pos if I omiited to acknowledge their fidelity self and gallant bearing in times of privation an From Upernivik I too seage for England, Danish brig Marianne ; but, most fortunately, touching at Godbaven, (Disco,) we were met by our gallant coun trymen under Capt.

Diatrites of the Diarto—Iis Disquinitions on Races—Phe Lockwood Damages—New Police Eaicts— Wharf Im- provements—The Spanish Fank—Prizes in the Royal Lettery. We are very much disturbed that the recent disquisi- tions of the Diario d: la Marina upon the scions of the Spanish race in San Juan de Nicaragua have not been verified—that Walker did not run away as stated, and that Colonel Kinney has been declared Governor by ac- clamation. There is some hope now that the dissolution of the Union may not take place this winter, as the pro- phets have proved fulse, and have called, with Balal, upon Palaam in vain, ‘Curse me this people!” from the airy castles of Spanish pride, The most delicate eneers which are occasionally found in the columns of the same jougmal, clo‘hed with erudition most profound xopendent from the elaborate labors of the ‘Holy Apostle Peter,” their northern seribe, in relation to ‘civiliza- tion”? and ‘Christfanization,’? come with exceeding grace and good taste from that quarter, They can cym- athize with the poor Iniian, driven from his home be- Fore the force of improvement and intelligence, forgetting the cold blooded, brutal and needless murders of the in- offensive Indians of Cuba. They have a tear ready for the boy-murderer who ex- piates crime upon the gallows ; but, alas for Africa ant the thousands sacrificed to their lust of gain, dragged from their homes, committed to Spanish chains to make sure of Spanish Christianization and the culture of Cuban cane fields, Of this present evil they have no time to think—it is the mote in their brother's eye that attracts their attention and excites their very sensitive philan- thropy. With Kinney and Walker, and the race, they remember no more the private Polecres and brig fitted out by Spaniard in the ports of Cuba for murder and Junder upon the high seas. Pe Lockwood was here last week; he received the £50,000 damages sustained—the fine of $6,000 was re- turned previously—and, I am free to confess, this was done throngh the determination of Spanish intelligence, integrity, honor and justice at Madrid, which could not endure the gross stain brought upon the nation by un- worthy officlals, and would noc condescemd to cover it with further fraud, as had been at‘empted, in conceal- ment of the facts by the Diario. ‘The steamer United States arrived last evening, and there was tremendous excitement to-day.

General Concha seems always to be interested in our police regulations for health, public security, individual convenience and the general economy, and he has just yublished new edicts, which are to be effective from the tof November, probably as important, for the general welfare of the community, as any which have emanated from the palvee during his second regime. Our public improvements proceed with regularity—not in too much baste—and the work is always well done. The wharf roofs are nearly finished; the large buildin, for public offices of our harbor employers is going aloft with its third story, and Quincy granite blocks are find- ing the length of our principal thoroughfares.

Tcan let you into a little bit of a State secret; but you must not be so inquisi ive as to desire to learn how it came into my possession. Let it suffice, that I know the Ministry at Madrid have expressed their disapprobation of the conduct of our Captain General in keeping the volun- tarios of this island armed and equipped for horrid war, The Ministry appears to be of opinion that now, when war's alarums have ceased, when everything like filibus- teriem In the United States haa been done away with, when even the gross Black Warrior outrage bas been settled by the payment of a comparatively small amount of money, and a receipt in full obtained therefor, that it is worte than useless to keep simple-minded, loyal sub- jects, armed and accountred, as though the island was threatencd with invasion, and this would appear to be a very rational view of the subject. General Concha, how- :, thinks differently: and we now only await the ax- } of the next steamer, with the mail from Spain, to know whether the yoluntarios are to continue bein; drilled this winter, or whether they are to be disbanded, Ii the former should prove to be the case, then a*more brilliant uniform will have to be procured, because I am aware that several of the officers are audibly grumbling at not having the en/rie at the Palace, according t» their i In those days when there is a besamanos, Kissing of there and from which ghey are only debarred by present blue-striped blouse or coat and continua. tions beng considered drshabille.

AGRAND JURY EMPANNELLFD—RECORDER’S CHARGE. The room of the General Sessions was crowded yester- day morning at the opening of the court, it being generally known that a new Grand Jury would be empannelled. The Recorder took his seat upon the bench a few minutes before 12 o'clock, when order was called for, and the fol- lowsng gentlemen sworn as Grand Jurors :—* Henry Erben, Foreman. Lewis Atterb Jr. John A. Currler, Sener Jobn Denham, John Fianley, Uriah Hendricks, George H. Loop, Henry A. Hurlbut, Edwin M. Hamson, Alex. L, MeDonald, Jr. ange Rufus K.

Tallmadge. ‘The Recorder then charged the jury as fellows :— OHARGE. GENTLEMEN OF THE GRAND JuRY—The duties which de- volve upon you, if honestly and judiciously discharged, are of the greatest importance to the interests of the community. If, on the contrary, they are recklessly ind carelessly performed, instead of the community deriving advantage from your deliberations, you will bring your time-honored institution into disrespect, ani excite pre- judice against your acts, and thus weaken instead of ‘strengthen the administration of justice. The proceed- 8 of your body are secret, and as the spirit of our in- stitutions—and I may say the spirit of the age—is adverse to secret ex parte investigations, where life, liberty, roperty, and, more than all, reputation, a it behoves those whom the law selects to exercise the functions of grand jurors to act and investigate with the greatest possible care and prudence, and with a single eye to justice, and that alone. They should remember that before them the accused cannot be beard; that while their inquiries ar2 progressing he remains unconscious of any proceedings a ting his re- putation or liberty; and therefore, gentleman, as you value liberty and fair fame, so should you guard itagainst unjust assaults and malicious accusations. Fach juror should feel that he was a sentinel to guard the citizen against unjust attacks; that he was the citizen’s advo cate rather than his accuser; and not until the evidence clearly pointed to the guilt cf the party charged, should his fair fame be sullie by your acts. Your duty is to shield the innocent as well as to present the guilty for trial. But, gentlemen, where the evidence points to the accused as the guilty party, no matter how exalted may be his position in the community; no matter what intli- nce he may possess; no matter what tie: may circle around him; ‘no matter what desole tion his fall may ocsa- sion—the solemn obligation of the oath which you have just taken, and which you should keep in constant re- membrance during the performance of your duties, re- quires that you should make no discrimination bet*een the highest and lowest in the land. We have no privi- leged classes. The same process and forms for ascertain: ing and punishing the guil:y apply to all alike. You should find no indictment against an individual unless the witnesses to sustain the charge are before you; and if in your examination of witnesses you discover (which dircovery, if the fact exist, is easily made) that the wit- ness is hoatile to the accused—if you have reason to be- lieve that the charge is prompted by malice, or that other objects and motives than those which actuate the good citizen in his efforts to aid in the enforcement of the laws by exporing and punishing crime, you should act with the greatest possible caution, else you may ren- der your institution a great evil instead of benefit. While, therefore, it is your duty to shield the innocent and to protect allfrom unjust accusations, it is equally your uty to present all who have violated the law, no matter upon whem the s yord of justice shail fall, and without any regard to the consequences that may result from your presentment; and any violation of this duty is a violation of your oaths, Pefore fincing any indictment, you should be satisfied that upon the evidence before you against the accused, he would be convicted ii the evidence was unexplained. ‘This rule, gentlemen, should be inflexible. Gross injus- tice often is done by deviating from it. Let me caution you also agefust outside infiuence--egaintt | po- pular clamor—against public rumor affecting indivi- duals or bodies of men, With such outside influences you have nothing to do. Your deliberations should be calm and dispassionate—you should hold the scales of justice 80 even that nothing but crime should sway them. rurtore reputation woay be injured; by popular clamor improper influences may be exercised. It is by a strict acherence to justice, uninfluenced except by purity of purpose, that grand jurors can perform thelr duty so as to protect the innocent, present the guilty for trial, and by that means aid in maintaining and sustaintng our po- litical and social institutions. With these preliminary remarks I will now proceed to call your attention to those statutes which the law makes it my duty to refer. to specially. By the laws of this State all lotteries are unlawful, and all persons ee aps in the same, directly or indirectly, are liable to indict- went. ‘The law regulating the rate of interest, prohibits the takirg more than seven per cent.

This court has decided that imported liquors are exempt from the operation of that act. It has also decided that the Grand Jury bave no right to entertain complaints unless the charges have begn sent to this court by the Court of Special Sessions at the a of the defendant. The Su- prene Court of an adjoining district, composed of gen- Uemen of eminent ability and great legal acqv've- ments, have decided the act to be unconstitutional, and while that cecision remains unreversed this court will regard it as the Jaw controlling all cases arising under this act, It wil thecefore, gentlemen, under this state ot facts, We useless to prefer indictments for selling liquor without the e required by the act, as I should consider it my duty to order such indictments, if tound, to he quashed.

MONEY BARKET. Mownpay, Oct. 15—6 P. M. There was quite a buoyant stock marke! at the open- ing this morning. The leading stocks, both substantialy rand fancies, were in demand at better prices, and at the close the tendency was strongly upward. Erie shows a strong upward movement; in fact, every stock on the list shows an improvement. At the first board Indiana 5’4 advanced 1 per cent; Virginia 6's, 3g; Missouri 6's, 1; Hiinois Central bonds, 9; Cumberland, 3; Erie, 14; Reading, 4; Michigan Central, 34; Michigan Southern, 34; MMnois Central Railroad, 1; Panama, 34; Galena and Chicago, 34; Cleveland and Toledo, 1. New York Gontral ‘7's fell off 3g per cent from the opening. The improve- ment in Indiana, Virginia and Missouri State stocks was very decided to-day, with sales to some extent. | Illinois Central bonds and stocks were in very active demand to- day, at higher prices. Cumberland has taken another start. The financia! arrangement just mace by this com- pany is a very important one to ckholders. It re leases the company’s lands from the mortgage, and a por- tion of them can now be soldif necessary. This immense estate has laid dormant about long enough. There \# sufficient good coal land belonging to the Cum- berland Company to make about a «dozen con- cerns equally productive. The best coal lands in ‘that entire region have been locked up; but now there is some chance of their being brought out and divided into about a dozen or so good companies, each one of which could be made profitable on a moderate capital. The mortgage loan prevented such a judicious arrange ment; but as that has been removed, we have no doubt some of the numerous offers heretofore made for a por- tion of the company’s coal lands will now be accepted. Reading advanced a fraction, with large sales, The fiscal year of this company is nearly closed, We have the offi- cial returns for t¢n months, showing a net income of $2,007,240 41, against $1,500,020 60 for the same time last year. The net income for the entire fiscal year end- ing November 30, 1854, was $2,010,438 21, a sum corres- ponding nearly with that for the first ten months of the present year. The net income for the remaining two months will, therefore, be so much net gain on the total of last year. Inthe two months (October and Novem- ber,) last year, the net income was $420,118. It will be about the same this year, This, added to that for the first ten monihs, will make the aggregate for the present fiscal year, ending November 30, 1850, $2,427,758. The company made a dividend in July last of four per cent, and it will probably make another in January of ten per cent, part cash and part stock. Last year the dividend was ten per cent, all in stock. But for the company’s floating debt, the stockholdera would gat in January ten per cent in aesh, besides the stock divi- dend, wl comes out of the sinking fund. All the ‘Western railroad stocks were in moderate demani to-day at better prices. The most prominen! railroad stock on the market, as regards price, is Galena and Chicago. The earnings for the present month—October—will foot up at least $275,000, For the five months ending September £0, the gross receipts of this road amounted to $1,077,318, against $599,641 for the same time in 1854; $276,203 in 1853, and $206,099 in 1852. This increase, as enormour as it is, is but a beginning in the history of this road. It willearn gross, this year, more than one half of its en- tire capital—a productiveness greater than any other work of internal improvement in the country can show. The New Jersey Transportation Company, Camden and Amboy, New Haven and Hartford, are all ‘first class well managed roads, and their stocks range from 125 to 140 per cent, but not one of them can compare in producti ve- ners on capital with the Galena and Chiengo.

A mode- rateamount of business was transacted in the leading fancy stocks, without any change in prizes, * At the mecting of stockholders in the Nicaragua Transit Co. to-day, it was stated that the total indebtedness of the company on the 6th instant, was $250,854, part of which was for current expenses. An inventory of the company’s property places its value, exclusive of its franchise, at $2,749,684. This includes cash assets of over $310,000. Aczording to this the stock is worth about $87 per share. The net earnings of the company last year were equal to six per cent on its capital. We un- €erstand that more than $200,000 of the company’s in- debtedness is represented by coal on hand at the different depots. As this is used the debt will be reduced by the appropriation of earrings for that purpose. The arrange- ment between this and the Pacific Steamship Company is very favorable for the Transit Company. Its expenses are so much less than the other, that it must unter any circumstances make money rapidly. The two companies bave now a monopoly of the routes, and cancommand remunerative prices tor all grades of passengers. We see no gocd reason why the Nicaragua Traasit Com should not henceforth pay good dividends on + value of its sto It certainly can if its at honestly adiministere?.

" Bighty-six cases of this class have been al- lowed. The Albany Argus of the 11th inst. contains the fol- lowing article relative to the New York Central Railroad and the grand consolidation scheme of 1863:— Tue New YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD AND ITS ASSAILANTS. The New YorK HERALD of the 8th inst. has an attack mn the Central Railroad, and upon all those indiscri- winately who have apy direction of its affairs, which for bold falsehood and reckless malignity has seldom been equalled, even in the columns of that journal. With those who anderstand the influences which prompt thi and the kindred assaults upon the same road, which aj pear inthe Herawp, no explanation of their motive is neceseary. To others, and especially to those who are not posted up inall the rascalities of Wall street, it may be well enough to «ay that these systematic attacks in that paper are simply the tricks of stock gamblers to “turn an honest penny’? by depreciating the property of their neighbors. These gentlemen would not steal the investments of widows and orphans. Oh, no! They are “honorable men!” But to induce them, by fraud and falsehood, to sell them at much les#’ than their actual value—that is ‘a fair business transac- tion.’ The worst that these harpies, who scent their prey, through the columns of ‘the Hxnatp, are able to say of the New York Central makes its shares a reliable dividend paying stock at the rate of not less than eight per cent per annum, with its road and all its equipments kept in the highest state of repair. This most persons whose, teeth have not been shai pened by service in Wall street, would deem pretty satisfactory. Nor does it render New York Central less valuable by contrasting its dividends with the Western roads, which gladden their stockholders with a larger per centage. It only shows that those stockholders, if their investments continue, after enduring the test of time, as remunerative as at present, are fortunate men. But a stock perfectly safe, which regularly puts in the pockets of its owners an interest of eight per cent per annum, eatistier the desires of most men, whose laudable love of gan has not been simulated into grasping avarice by all street operations. The onslaught of the HerarD count of matters connected with the consol! ly three years ago, only exposes the malice of the assailant, without reaching the object of his malevolence. We certainly shall not undertake to assert that no censurable things were done in connection with that measure. That the measure itself was one de- manded quite ae much by the public interests as by those of the several corporations, we never doubted, and that the managers of the latter were actuated by an enlightened appreciation of the prospective business wants of the c-mmunity, in harmonizing upon a union of the several roads betvecn Albany ‘and Buffalo into one continuous line, we think is now quite clear, Would public opinion at all tolerate a return to the old system, with its change of cars. its failures to make connections, and its other ifold annoyances? It would not be endured for a le month. The New York Central Railroad, long as is its line of railway and vast as are its concerns, is, nevertheless, the most perfect and the best managed roa’ on this continent. Its immense business is conducted with a system and precision worthy of all imitation, and which, we venture to assert, is no where in private, cor- porate, or public administrations, surpassed. Its nu- merous trains, during the past season, have been run with a regularity and precision which havo excited the admiration of the travelling public, Their arrival at any station on the line at the precise minute indicated by the time table, has come to be relied on with confidence, The men In charge of the Central Road as directors and officers, rankin all the elements of character and business capacity among the very best men in the State. No service in the country has the advs —_ of a om god con of intellect or integrity. The attacks allowed to be made through the money article of the Heratp upon such men are of course impotent, but they are not for that reason a, $ us “ “ upon this read, on the less shameless, If that paper has an; rd for ion, it will cease to allow its colts to be thi the vehicle of rapacity and malice. We have not in the habit of assailing that journal or of imputing to it the character which some of its cotemporaries have given it, but such a prostitution of its columns as it has allowed in this case, will, if continued, soon make it as odious in the estimation of fair and honest men, as its worst enemies could desire. We have not the slightest interest in the stock or securities of the Central road, i never had, and have no relations to the company or y of ite managers, calculated to jnfluence our opinions; but it has seemed to us that a sentiment of justice should induee honorable men everywhere, to rebuke such vile assaults upon some of the most estimable citizens of our State. Perhaps the matter does not deserve the atien- tion which we have given it. For the sake of identity it is necessary to inform the reader that the above argumentum ad hominum from the Albany Argus, long the special organ of a clique o! politico-money operators and toll gatherers of that city, is the semi-officlal reply which the New York Central Company has thought proper to make to the com- plaints of ite stockholers, and the bill of particulars we furnished a few days ago in their behalf. The defence of the Angus is remarkable for its studious avoidance of the facts alluded ¢o by us. It is certainly a very bad cause thet cannot be successfully defended by such testimony ae the Argus presents, premising of course that the pub- lie is willing to receive it aa conclusive, Let us look at the case as it stands, Rumor for more than @ year had been busy In circulating stories concerning the origia and conduct of the consolidation, which reflected upon its managers, either gross carelessness or fraudulent conduct, or both, These rumors bad reached the ears of the stockholders), as their effects had their pockets, and nine months ego they appointed a committee, consisting of John H. Swift, Charles Stebbins and Joseph Battelle, to invessi- gato their character, That committee up to this time has wade no report: and it is now said will not do so till the next annual meeting of their principals. Meanwhile, the subject being ene of a strictly public nature, we sub- titted the material pointe of inquiry; in other words, we gave a specific form to reports generally circulated in the community, and which were more or less credited. ‘We «tated, among other things, that the Central concern, Which should hare c 000 Makin: ob tbat Ulecy dollars, stands charged with about thirty nine millions, There was certainly mo malice im this; and there is no evidence in our stating it that we intended to cheat ‘ the widows and orphans” out of their stock, as the Argus asserts, It is not s@clear, however, that the widows and orphans have not been cheated by somebody. The inves- tigating committte took their interest in charge, and they alone were possessed of sufficient authority to ascer- tain whether their legal trustees, ‘the oflicers and di- rectors,” whom the Argus ranks “ameng the best mem of the State,”” were really worthy of the position they occupy. é “What the public want is truth, We want to know from the ‘‘business capacity” of the management how it has come to pass that the greatest thoroughfare in the United States—one which produces such immense re- ceipte—is still unable to keep its works in repair and re- turn to the stockholders half the amount which other roads less advantageously situated, with vastly less tra- yel, less freight, less proportionate capital invested, con- trive to pay their stockholders, We concode it to be no good argument in itself agatnst the value of the Centra stock that other roads produce more profits, unless it is made to appear that the former has made expenditures in the construction of, its works, running its cara, and paying its favorites, in an extravagant and unlawful way. ‘This fs preeisely the point which the investigating com- iittee undertook to clear up. Meantime persons inte- rested have aright to bo suspictous—a right which ig now compound, springing from the naked fact that the concern cost thirty-nine million of dollars, when by any fair means it should not have cost half that sum; that the managers have been indicted by public ramor; that the committee to investigate the subject sleeps upon its post, and their organ interposes the absurd defence only that ‘the directors and officers rank imall the elements of character and business capacity, among the first mez ~ in the State.”” The truth is that the New York Central Railroad, like the Bank of the United States and its endless branches, has become, as General Jackson called the monster, “a political machine.”’ Its innocent stockholders are mere conveniences, subsisting on public confidence, as theic subsistance is wasted away by the profligacy and manage- ment of their great financiers. It is the nucleus of po- litical and financial intrigues, having their centre at Al- vany, and running through Michigan, Indiana, Mlinois, and several other States. It is worthy of notice, in con- nection with their financial capacity, that, though ear- liest im the field through the whole West, and having a choice of routes, the roads under their direction produce less profits than any of the great works controlled by others. We make no warfare upon individuals, but wecan- not avoid referring to the subjest in this connection, to il- lustrate the ‘rank and business capacity” ofthe men whom the Argus pompously parades before the public as a de~ fence against what is believed to be the most atrocious fraud ever practiced upon unsuspecting stockholiers, If thera bas been an honest management, why do the committee fail to report? If the stockholders are likely to be mis~ Jed by our statements, why do not’ the committee come to their rescue? It has had the amplest time to dis- charge its duties; it became the special trastees of the ‘widows and orphans” whom the Argus fears may be induced to sacrifice their stock—perhaps, the same widows and orphans who persisted that their interests im the Bank of the United States, then the sufferer from ‘eruel rumors put afloat by stock jobbing journals,’? would be good in theend. Hew long will it require the American people to leara that politics is a poor element to mix up with business? ‘The New York Central Railroad had a political origin. It was baptized in the muddy waters of our State politics; its sponrors and godfather were politicians; it haw: beer reared under their guidance, indoctrinated with their morals, and its fruits may be gathered in the general blight which rests upon all their labors. The Argus, which comes to their rescue, has long been their special organ. It is their political mouthpiece—utters their views, speaks their language; and now, when the sharp edge of private interests {s cutting away the covering that hides the hideous mass cf peculations and frauds which fill the inner temple of the Central Railroad Company that payer thrusts forward the respondents as ‘among the best men in the State,’’ in answer to charges which they cannot refute, and which they dare not submit to the ordeal of an honest investigating committee.
