NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1875.-QUINTUPLE SHEET, THE COURTS. The Legal Year Inaugurated-- ' Heavy Calendars. PLENTY OF WORK FOR JUDGES AND LAWYERS Litigious Terms and Flow- ing Fee \ ‘The first Monday in October is the beginning of the Aegal year in the State courts, The three previous months are the vacation. During vacation the only courts hela are the Chambers, and the sole business ‘transacted hearing arguments upon motions, Very lit- tle is done during these three months, and so, to all tn- tents and purposes, it is a vacation for the Bench and Bar. Judges, wearied by their prior assiduous judicial labors, enjoy this period of rest in recreating trips across the ocean and seeing the sights of the Old World, or if coutent with the facilities of enjoyment vouchsafed in the New World, seck recreation at the sea shore or on mountain heights or in shady woodland nooks, by purling rural streams or inland lakes, Lawyers, too fatigued with their laborious efforts at the Bar, ‘take refuge in the country, and in surf bathing, hunting -or fishing or other modes of pleasure and health seek- ing while away the interregnum of inactivity in tho courts, At length the vacation is ended, and judges and ‘lawyers alike, with increasing robustness of figure and Fuddiness of complexion, come back to resume their re- spective labors, It is possible that many have realized ‘that Shakspearean aphorism— If all the year were playing holiday To sport mould be ea tedious as to works Dut the presumption is that most of them, like the schoolboy creeping unwillingly to school, find it a posi- ‘tive bore to have to come back to the hard pan of work ‘again, But thus the judicial fiat orders, and there is no help for it. On the opening of all the various branches of the State courts to-morrow the presump- tion is that nearly all the Judges will be in their as- Signed places, that the lawyers will be promptly on shad to push their cases forward to trial, and that the ‘clients—really the most interested parties—will be there likewise, more anxious than ever to have thor eases, so long the victim of the “law’s delay,” reach a finality at last. One thing 1s certain— and it is to be hoped that both judges and lawyers have laid in good stocks of health so as to be equal to the emergency: that there never has been such full calen- dars as at present in all the courts and bright promise ofa fulfilment of Milton’s epitome o! court work:— Ligitious terms, fat contentions and flowing fees. The New Court House, that for the past three months thas worn such a banquet, hall-deserted look, to-morrow | ‘will be the centre of bustling animation. Lawyers will be as thick as leaves in Vallambrosa, and whatover may be the prejudices against the ‘Ring’? fabricators of this e€olossal marble temple of justice there will be freedom of entrance and exit toall members of the legal frater- mity, and no one will have the hardihood to say with Wordsworth :— A lawyer art thoa? Draw not nigh! Go, carry to some other place The hardness of thy cowar ‘The falseness of thy sallow ts THE SUPREME COURT. The General Term of this Court will be presided over by Judges Davis Brady and Daniels, A good many eases argued at the last term of the Court are awaiting decision, and they naturally would be presented on the opening day, but it is altogether probable no decision will be given until to-morrow. This Court is prom- ised a very busy month. There are on the calendar 865 causes, including 70 non-enumerated motions and 60 preferred motions, The remaining cases are to be argued on appeal. A new feature is the absence of printed calendars. This innovation, however, upun a very old and time-honored custom does not meet the approval of a majority of the members of the Bar. The reason given by the judges for the change is that Comptroller Green in carrying out nis so-called pro- gramme of picayune economy has declared against Buch printing a3 an altogether useless expense. Of course it will do no good for the lawyers to fume or fret about it, but simply to grin and bear it the best they can. In this connection itis proper to state that no inconsiderable fault is found with the Court in its recent order directing its decisions to be taken from the Clerk, who, for years, bas been their custodian, and given to a private law firm. It is claimed that, though this may be very ben- eticial to the law firm, it isa matter of serious incon- venience to the legal Lied A aia Judge Van Vorst will hold the Special Term, and Judge Lawrence Chambers. In the former Court there are 366 cases on the calendar, which is much larger than any previous October calendar, The work in Chambers 1s very idednite, but it is generally con- ceded to be the most trying upon a judge of any branch of the Court. Judge Barrett has been assigned to hold Parti, Circuit, Judge Van Brunt Part 2, Circuit, and Judge’ Donohue Part 3, Circuit. Judge’ Van Brunt, however, will not be able to hold his Court, as he is now ill in Paris from brain fever. His return had been looked for up to within a few days, but it is now thought that the condition of his health will not permit his resuming his judicial labors for several weeks yet. Thoroisa very heavy Supreme Court calendar the cases set down for trial numbering altogether 2,011 causes. Of these 450 are new cases. Some of the ‘cases have been on the calendar for several years, and herein is aptly illustrated the ‘law’s delays.” The only course, however, for the lawyers is to be patient and abide their time, though the clients after all are the legal victims of this legal dilatoriness, COURT OF OYER AND TERIINER. In this, the criminal.branch of the Supreme Court, there are plenty of cases awaiting trial, but the prob- ability is that the Court will not really got to work for ‘one or two weeks yet, Thero will be a formal opening of the court, however, to-morrow, but nothing will be done beyond arranging the time’ for the trial of cases, a8 neither a petit nora grand jury have been empan- elied. The understanding now is that Judge Barrett will hold the court, though this programme may pos- sibly be changed, ‘The leading case of interest awaiting trial is that of John Scannell for shooting Thomas Donohue at Jobnson’s pool rooms, whose retrial stands first on the list. It will be remembered that at his first trial, m March, 1873, the jury stooa nine for conviction and three for acquittal. strict Attorney Phelps has notified Mr. Beach, his counsel, that he shall move the case on for trial at an early day, so that the probability is that this long-ling- ering case will pretty soon reach its conclusion. Ot minor homicide cases there 1s an unusual number, There are no less than ten cases awaiting trial on in- dictments for murder in the first degree, viz. ;—Jacob Btaderinan, who shot with a pistol Lonisa’ Seidenwood; Theodore Reed, who fatally stabbed John Walker; George Washington and Jobn Sewell, jointly indictes for killing John Conlon by beating bim to death in ‘Washington market; Henry Rix, who fatally shot John McKanna; Thomas Callahan, charged with beating to death his mother, Mary Callahen; Samuel McMurray and Annie J. McMurray, his wife, jointly indicted for fatally stabbing William Doyle; Joseph Frangi, for fa- tally stabbing John Morreili; Bridget Kelley, for infanticide, in throwing her child into the North River, and Thomas Wilson, charged with fatally shooting Al- yhonso Guerogo. There are also awaiting trial under Wdictments for manslaughter Thomas Serrill, charged With fatally stabbing an unknown man, supposed to be Samuel Peterson; John Bengtsson, also charged with fatally stabbing Anton Nordstrom, and John Kenney, charged with killing the infant child of Mary Master- son, through causing its premature birth by beating the mother. Mr. Sparks, the clerk of the Court, says that these cases will all be tried, in all probability, during the present month, or in other words, as he ex- pressed it, they will be put through the “rapid transit” programme and speedily given their deserts. SUPERIOR COURT. In the Trial Terms of this Court there are no less than 1,725 cases awaiting trial—an unprecedentedly heavy calendar, and, like that in the Supreme Court, protiising 10 occupy several years beiore its end 1s Feached, Of these cases 250 are now ones. The Trial Terms are to be beld respectively Wed Judges Monell and Sedgwick. Judge Curtis will hold the Special Term and Judges Freedman and Speir the General Term, COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, A like heavy calendar presents Itself in this Court, there being no less than 1,100 cases awaiting trial, of which 111 are new cases. The Trial Terms will be held respectively by Chief Justice Daly and Judge J. F. Daly. Judge Larremore will hold the Equity Term and Judge Robinson tho Chambers, There are seventy-three cages on (he Equity calendar, ‘THE PRDKRAL COURTS.

Before Judge Loow, holding Special Term of the Court of Common Pleas, Messrs. Smith & Seaver filed yoster- day a general assignment for the benefit of their cred- ftors, They stato their liabilities at $289,522 24; assets, $100,408 08, James 0. Smith, the assignee, filed his ‘Dond of $100,000. In the same court Messrs. James 0. ‘Wells an Lansing S. Wells filed yesterday also a gen- eral assignment. They give their iiabities as $32,774 11 and real assets, $9,707 50. George A. Meyer, assigneo, filed bis bond for $10, 000. In the matter of the appointment of a receiver for the Bleecker Street Railroad, Juage Daniels, holding Supreme Court, Chambers, before whom the case was terms held, giving the judges of this | brought yesterday, directed an adjournment until next Saturday, In the United States District Court yesterday, Judge Blatchford presiding, the further hearing in the matter of the surronder of the leased roads held by the New York, Oswego and Midland Railroad was adjourned until Tuesday next. Joseph Olchassu and John Oliva, Italians, of No. 37 Baxter street, charged before United States Commis- sioner Shields with having counterfeit five cent nickel coins in their possession, were examined yesterday and honorably discharged. In the matter of the arfest, on Friday last, of Antoine Poullaine, commission merchant, of Savannah, Ga., bail was immediately given and Mr, Poullaine dis- charged. No imprisonment followed. ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT. Before Judge Morgan. AN INDIGNANT JUDGE, On Friday night araid was made on an alleged dis- orderly house in East Thirteenth street, and the pro- prietress, Jennie Smith, and six of the inmates were arrested and brought before Judge Morgan, at the above court, Officer Flynn, who arrested the proprietress, was called upon to testify, but would not speak posi- tively as to the character of the house. The magistrate became very indignant, and said to officer Flynn, “TL wish you to tell your Captain that [ do not went any of these cases brought before me unless he has eVidence on which I can hold the parties arrested, Some of the police captains have testified before the Committee on Crime that they have ‘pulled,’ to use their own words, a number of houses and the police magistrates did not co-operate with them in their efforts to suppress such places. I will cheerfully do my duty in all cases, but want the police captains to do theirs in furnishing proper evidence.” Mrs, Smith and the persons arrested in her house were then discharged. POLICE COURT NOTES. At the Tombs Police Court yesterday James Barry, a lawyer, residing at No. 24 Laight street, was held in detault of $2,500 to answer on complaint of Bartholo- mew Clancy, of No, 283 East Twentieth street, who charged that he left with Barry, for safe keeping, the sum of $1,160, and that upon demanding it back Barry refused to give it to him. The charge is for construc- tive larceny, Captain Lower: , of the Sixth precinct, has been raid- ing upon virtually hicensed liquor dealers under orders from hig superiors, and if he appears to have acted in conflict with the ruling of Justice Duffy in the prem- ises the blame must be laid to those above him in authority. George B. Putnam, of the Summit House, No. 65 Bowery, preferred a charge of grand larceny yesterday before Judge Morgan against Josephine Morton, whom he accused of stealing a $100 bill from him on Friday night. Josephine was held in $1,000 bail to answer at General Sessions. George Bowles, a driver for the New York Transfer Company, was arraigned before Judge Bixby yesterday on a charge of embezzling $4 90. He was held in $1,000 bail to answer. On Friday night a row occurred in a saloon kept by Mr, Alfred Stiquel, at No, 3 Sixth avenue, about pay- ment for drinks, between the proprietor and three men named James Slattery, Luke Keegan and George Allen, in which fight James’ Slattery was shot in the calf of tho leg by Stiquel. Stiquel, Keegan and Allen were all arraigned before Judge Bixby, at the Washington Place Police Court, yesterday. Stiquel was held in $500 bail to answer, and Keegan and Allen were held in $500 bail to kvep the peace for six months. Slattery is now lying | in Bellevue Hospital trom the effects of the wound he received, THE O'BALDWIN INQUEST. PROCEEDINGS BEFORE CORONER WOLTMAN YES- TERDAY—-VERDICT OF THE JURY. At eleven o’clock yesterday morning the Coroner's office, at the corner of Mulberry and Houston streets, ‘was crowded, on occasion of an inquest held by Coroner Woltman in the case of the killing of Edward 0’Bald- win, The proceedings were begun promptly at eleven o'clock, and were concluded at two. The prisoner, Finnell, entered in charge of a policeman from tho Eighth precinct, and took a seat beside bis counsel, William F. Howe. He looked much better than on the night of his surrender, and, while paying the strictest possible attention to the proceedings, main- tained a judicious composure throughout. On ‘every hand were burly looking men, with iow brows and bare necks—a class much better known by the police than by the Church. Tho first witness called was Pelham Hillis, an el- derly man, who said he was in the saloon at the time | O’Baldwin took Finnell into the rear room. He did | not hear any words pass between them, but heard two shots fired, and on going into the apartment found the prisoner and _ THR DECEASED STRUGGLING with each other for the possession of the revolver, each having ahand on it, Others rushing into the | room took the pistol, and Finnell left, not to turn up again until his surrender to Sergeant Woodward, at the Eighth precinct station house. O’Baldwin said, “Uk HAS KILLED Ms; he shot me twice,” and opening his clothing exhibited two wounds, James Nelson, better known as “the man eater” or the “terror of the Eighth ward,’’ was placed on the stand. He is not what would be called a handsome man, hay- ingan ugly scar running from his right ear to his nose, and a vicious countenance, This man was asleop on a bed in the room where the shooting was done, and says he was first awakened by the reports of the revolver; he knew nothing of the shooting or of any quarrel preceding it, Several witnesses, among whom was the barkeeper, testified that O’Baldwin had been drinking gin cocktails and beer all the aiternoon, Noue of thom knew anything of the shooting until it was all over. O'BALDWIN AGGRESSIVE. Samuel Kavanagh, a sailor living at No: 349 West street, was in the saloon before and at the time of the shooting. He sat near the door leading into the ad- Joining room im which the tragedy was enacted, and saw the two men go in; a few moments later he heard a scuffle afid a man’s voice saying, “You —, I will kill you anyhow,” and two pistol shots followed in quick succession; he ran into the room—he claims to have been the first to enter—and found Finnell and O’ Baldwin struggling desperately forthe possession of the weapon; O’Baldwin had Finnell’s head under his arm, or, according to the parlance of the P. R, in chancery; the witness, with others, separated tlem and got the revolver. Coroner Woltinan now read 0’Baldwin’s ante-mortem statement to the jury, and Mr. Howe objected. His ob- jection was based on the ground that the document was | inadmissible, inasmuch as O'Baldwin said, at the time of making it, that he did not know whether or not he had hopes of living. A discussion ensued between the Coroner and the counsel, Captain McDonnell was now placed on the stand, and testified to the facts connected with the surrender of Finnell on the night of the 29vh ult, The Captain sai in a bangin 4 bombastic manner, that Finnell hi stated that he knew he (the captain) was close on his track, and that further efforts to conceal his where- abouts being useless he had come to surrender. Yest day the captain swore that Finnell merely said on rendering himsolf, “I have come to give myself up; I shot O’Baldwin, but I did it in self-defence.’ Deputy Coroner Cushman detailed the autopsy, and said that @ wound on tho right breast penctrated to the liver; a wound on the abdomen punctured the omentum, tleam and colon, Death was caused by peritonitis. Coroner Woltman charged the jury ina plain, straight- forward manner, and commitied she case to them. ‘They were out but a few minutes when they returned with a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death from pistol shot wounds at the hands of Michael Finneil on the night of September 27, 1875. Finnell, on being called to the stand and asked what ho had to say in the matter, replied, through Mr. Howe, that ho merely used the pistol in self-defence. Mr. Howe now requested the Coroner to admit the pris- oner to bail, and in making this motion took occasion to animadvert somewhat severely upon the life | and character of the deceased fighter. He said O’Baldwin was a man of brutal passions and worse in- stincts, roaming the earth beating men and women, His very name carried with it everything that is brutal aud debasing, his character being so well known that counsel seemed to think the Coroner should admit his | client to bail on general principles, The Coroner smiled | and refused. Finnell was then committed to the Tombs to await the action of the Grand Jury, A CHAPTER OF JERSEY CRIME. EX-STATE TREASURER SO00Y TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE GRAND JURY ON TUESDAY NEXT. | The Grand Jury of Mercer county, N. J., which con- | vones at Trenton on Tuesday next, will be called upon to take action on an extraordinary number of grave charges, the heaviest and most numerous that has ever | come before a like body in that county for a decade of years, Among the most serious casos are those of Jo- sephus Sooy, Jr., the defaulting State Treasurer; Kee- nan, the alleged’ murderer of Police Officer Reupp in Trenton a few months ago, and O'Toole, who came near fatally shooting Dr. Rice, of Trenton (two leaden mes- sengers of death are now imbedded in the doctor's body), besides several criminals are to be charged with attempt at murder by cutting, slaying, &c. Sooy remains incarcerated in the county Jail, ho eflorts having been made to procure his release on bail or otherwise. Ho has fully recovered his senges and is in the enjoyment of good health. His frieuds visit him frequently and try to console the old man as best they can in his tribu- lations, He is close on seventy years of age, and it is | said that if he is sent to the State Prison ho wiil not liv long in this world, SCALDED TO DEATH. | A young son of Josiah Littlefield, of No. 66 Bloom- | field avenue, Newark, was scaided on Friday so that he | has since died. He was walking across the floor, when | he fell backwards tate @ fub af hotline wake RAPID TRANSIT. THE QUESTION OF PLANS SETTLED—THE ‘‘MAN- HATTAN RAILWAY COMPANY” TO BE ORGAN- IZED—SYNOPSIS OF THE FORTHCOMING RE- PORT—THE FORM OF STRUCTURE ON THIRD AVENUE—AN AUCTION OF “OLD RUBBISH” YESTERDAY, The commission are rapidly drawing tneir duties toa close, and although under the act they have until next Wednesday to promulgate their plans they havo already settled that portion of their work, and, indicated in the Heratp of yesterday, the specifications on the plans have gone to the printer and will be embodied in an official report to the Mayor on Monday unless some- thing in the meantime occurs to justify changes, as have twice been made within a week. Their report, as has been frequently stated in these columns, will dis- appoint nearly all the inventors who have presented plans for their consideration. The commission in their specifications merely describe certain details as to con- struction, and allow the New York Elevated Railway, the Gilbert Elevated Railway and THE “MANHATTAN RAILWAY COMPANY,” which they are now organizing under the Dill, to cover all that portion of the route not provided for by the charters of the two first named roads, to select such plans as may contorm to the specifications, It may be stated, on the authority of President Courtright, of the New York Fdevated Railway, that on all broad avenues or streets like Third avenue, option is given tho company (for instance, that portion on Third avenue to be built by his company) to erect a single column road on either sidewalk, or a double column road spanning the present horse car tracks, ‘If,’ says another author- ity, “the latter plan be adopted by the company on Third avenue the specifications provide that eighteen inches clear bo left on cither side between the columns and the sides of the THIRD AVENUE PASSENGER CARS.’? The columns are to be not more than.fifteen inches in diameter, and the whole structure not to occupy over twenty-two feet six inches. This will leave on Third avenue, which is sixty feet wide, eighteen feet nine inches on either side between the road and the curb, This option was given to the New York Elevated Railway Company to enable them to select such road as may be less objectionable to the property-owners along the avenue. The specifications relative to the other streets differ somewhat; but in general terms it may be stated that the commission has given the same option as tothe use of the road bed with a double column road, or the sidewalk with a single one, as in their opinion and that of their engineers will best con- duce to the accommodation of the passenger traffic and the transportation of merchandise on the narrow down- town streets, As INCIDENTS CONNECTED WITH THE COMMISSION, which has now been in session nearly ninety days, it is worthy of note that while nearly all of the 212 inven- tors who have submitted plans have been disappointed with one exception, all live to “try again.’” One gon- tleman was so eiated at the idea that his plan was sure to be selected that he imbibed too much, fell down the stairs of his hotel, and, breaking his neck, died. An- other has become temporarily insane, and daily be- sieges the commission with suggestions, These are the only casualties, The comunission yesterday re- moved their office from the room of the Common Pleas, Part 2, to the upper story of the new Court House, The commission sat on Friday until midnight at tho residence of Colonel B, N. Harrison, the secretary, and another session was held last evening at his residence. The business now before the commission that cails for Hiese. Bight sessions is the organization under the law of A COMPANY TO BUILD and operate the road or roads, Section 6 (second clause) provides that ‘The said Commissioners shall also, within tho like period of ninety days alter their organization, fix and determine the amount of the capital stock of the company to be formed for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and operating such railway or railways for public use Im the conveyance of per- sons aud property, the mumnber of shares into which such eap- ‘eal stock shall be divided and the percentage thereof to be paid in cash on subseribing for such shares. SkoTION 7.—The said Commissioners shall prepare appro- priato articles of association for the company in the last sec- tion mentioued, in which said articles of association shall be J embodied as component parts thereof the sev- . requirements and particulars by said Com- termined, pursuant to sections 4, 5 and 6 of this d which further shall provide for the Felense and for- rs of the county of all rights and tran- 8 acquired corporation in case such railway or v8 shall not be completed within the time and upon the conditions therein provided; and the said Commissioners shall theroupon, and within 120 days after their organization as aforesnid, cause a suitable book of subscription to the capital stock of such company to be opened. pursuant to due public notice, at a bauking office in such county. With this subject the commission have been wrestling for two days. Yesterday they had with them ther counsel, Stephen P. Nash, of No. 60 Wall street, and Mr. Courtright, of the New York Elevated Railway, was several times called in fer consultation, They adopted as the title of the company. to be organized “The Manhattan Railway Company ;” but President Seligman stated to the writer that the title might be changed, in the event of its being discovered that the charter of the Manhattan Bank covers the word ‘Man- hattan”’ and precludes its use by them. His attention was called to the fact that there are several corpora tions using the word ‘Manhattan,’ including the “Man- hattan Gas Company,” the “Manhattan Fire Insurance Company,” the “Manhattan Iron Company,” the “Manhattan Club” aud many other corporations, and he then expressed the opinion that the title of the new company is not liable to be changed, One of the most difficult questions connected with the organization of the new company is "qt AMOUNT OF CAPITAL STOCK and the percentage of the same that shall be paid in before they begin operations, Mr. Mott states that the commission is disposed to make the capital stock as low as possible, for two reasons—first, that the stock- holders may be taxed for the full amount they have subscribed without reference to the amount of their siock they have paid up; and, secondly, that the com- pany, under the law, have full power to increase their capital stock as exigencies may require. They may also wish, after building two or three miles of the road, to bond it, and hence the commission, in order to make rapid transit a settled fact, wish to give them per advantage of the most liberal construction of the jaw.

WALL STREET NOTES. UNION PACIFIC AND PACIFIC MAIL—A SUPPLE- MENTARY STATEMENT FROM MR. SCOTT—A NOISELESS PANIC IN MONTREAL. Tho stock market yesterday justified all the appre- hensions expressed in this column, that the leaders of the bull market were selling out their stocks. This was especially noted in Union Pacific, which for a long time has been held at artificially high figures by Gould and his camp followers, The shares yesterday, after @ pyrotechnic rise to 68, fell like lead to 6534, being a trifle only beyond the lowest price touched on Friday, when there was a panicky condition of the stock, Mr, Gould has “gone West,” it is said, with Mr. Dillon and a choice few of the Union Pa- cifle directors; but there is a history to be written in regard to his departure which may illuminate “the ways that Aro dark and tricks that are vain’ in re- gard to his operations, Missouri Pacific was also a Clunese puzzle to the street, its price recoding to the lowest point of yesterday. A hint thrown out in this column in regard to the sales by a German banking firm has been amply confirmed, and it would not be amiss if holders of these questionable securities would, from time to time, consult the live newspapers for in- formation in regard to the doings of the manipulators Of these outside stocks, Mr, George 8, Scott, Vice President of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, in obedience to the HkRALb’s Strictures, has put forth an explanatory card, as fol- Pisr Poor ov Cana. Street, N, R., New Yor, Oct. 2, 1876. For tho purpose of replying to numerous inquiries called forth by the statement lately made to the Board of Directors of this company, I desire to say it was not the intention of the management to do other than offer comparison between the liabilities of the com- pany as they appear on the books of the New York office to December 1 and as they existed on the Ist of March of the present year. The intention was rather to answer conclusively the reports so frequently circulated that the company was on the eve of bankruptcy than for any other purpose. After December 1 the liabilities may be brieily and generally stated :— First—Amount due $500,000, Second—Bills for coal, stoves and supplies for Sep- tember, not audited, Third—Balauce due Messrs. John Roach & Son, on delivery of new ships, together with their necessary outfit, from which latter sum may be deducted the earnings of their trip to San Francisco, ‘The bills of supplies, &e., aggregate ubout $40,000 per month. The balance due on each ship when completed and delivered being $315,000, without cost of outiit, In addition to these liabilities there is a claim against the company for taxes, which the company’s attorneys are confident will be materially reduced. To offset this, however, the company have in suit a very large volume of claims, with fair prospects of success. The recovery ofasmall percentage of these would more than liqui- date this “tax liability.” In regard to the future of the company it may be reasonably assumed that the earnings for the next twelve months will at least keep pace with thoso of the past five months, This would realize the gross sum of 36,000,000. With a continuance of the present system of manage- ment the total expenses should not exceed sixty-five per cent of the gross earnings, which, after a reason- able allowance -for depreciation, would leave a surplus to the company of upward of $1,500,000 to the liquida- tion of its indebtedness, In view of the fact that after December 12 the com- pany will effect a saving of $10,000 gold per month, and after January 124 further sum of $10,000 gold per month, now paid for the charters of steamers Vasco do Gama and Vancouver, together with the earning ca- pacity of its three new ships, now a dead asset, the es- timate of earnings and expenses is not, in my judg- ment, an unreasonable one. No attempt has been made to place a valuation on the company’s assets, as any conclusion arrived at would necessarily be & matter of personal opinion and subject to a wide diversity of views. Very respectfully, GEORGE 8S. SCOTT, Vice President, It is scarcely necessary to reply to such a loose docu- ment as this. Gold stiffered up in the last hours of business on rumors of more business failures in Boston and a “noiseless panic” in Montreal. MORE POSTAL CHANGES. Mr. T. N.
