"WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 26. 18S3
Northern Pacific Matters.
A N. Y. dispatch of the 24th
says: In response to a dispatch
of inquiry from Anthony J.
ThomaSj vice-president of the
Northern Pacific road, to Fred
erick Billings at Woodstock, Ver
mont, Billings replied to-day:
I have just received your tele
tgrara of yesterday giving the sub
stance of an article in a New York
paper, which is utterly without
foundation. 1 had no communica
tion, either verbal or written, with
Mr. Gould about Northern Pacific
stocks. I have not said they were
selling too high, and 1 have not
sold a share of my large holdings.
A person said to me that Gould
was willing to go into a pool to
buy Northern Pacifies. I replied
that it was not in mv line to sro
into Wall street pools, and I did
not trust them". I was very busy
at the time, and turned off the
person quite abruptly. My faith
in Northern Pacific is stronger
than ever. The floating debt
when added to the bonded debt
will not make the totnl debt more
than 31,000 or 32,000 per mile,
and that for a road laid with steel
rails, magnificently equipped and
having great land grants will be a
small burden.
Fkuukkiok Bim.ixws.
The followiug oflicial statement
been issued by the Northern
Pacific railroad and branches is as
follows: Main lines including the
line from St. Paul to Sauk rapids,
1954- miles; branch lines, -JUG
miles. Total bonded indebted
ness, main line 39,522,200; add
to bonded indebtedness outstand
ing dividends and scrip, 4,04.0,
S21; add excess of expenditures
over proceeds of bonds (for which
funding arrangements have been
made), 8,000,000; total, $52,1G3,
021; bonded indebtedness of
branch lines, 4.4G miles, at 20,
000 .per mile, 8,920,000, upon
which interest does not accrue for
eighteen months or two 3'cars; the
estimated earnings of the twelve
months from September, 1883, are
$15,000,000; the expenses, includ
ing rentals and taxes, will be GO
per cent $9,000,000; remainder,
0,000,000. The interest on fixed
charges, as above, viz., G per cent
on $52,103,021, is 3,129,781; sur
plus, 2,870,219. The interest on
34,522,200 on bonds was provid
ed for two years in the proceeds
of the sale of the bonds.
The week opens with removed
depression in Villard shares, and
lower prices all round. Oregon
and Transcontinental is down to
52, against 50 at the close of Sat
urday. Northern Pacific sold
down 2 to 32i,and preferred to
Glf. The decline in other stocks
ranged from to It is said the
Northern Pacific company will is
sue 25,000,000 debenture bonds,
at G per cent., to complete the
road, furnish additional equip
ments, take care of the floating
debt, etc.
The New York Shipjing lAst
thinks that the time when state
laws should be applied to the
general business of the country
has passed. The railroad, the
telegraph and the modern methods
of trade have long since outgrown
the boundaries of states. Conse
quently, when each state under
takes to legislate regarding com
mercial matters which affects the
whole country, trade is not only
hampered, but great injustice is
certain to be done to the residents
of different parts of the country.
Already the revolution in business
caused by the agencies to which
we nave relerred, has made it
necessary that the federal court be
opened to suitors who would other
wise be without a full remedy in
law. At an early period in the
history of the country state bank
Jaws answered the demands of
trade, which was largely restricted
to state limits, but now the rapid
trausit has brought San Francisco
nearer to New York, when
measured by time, than was Buffa
lo fifty years ago, a national bank
ing system is demanded by a com
merce which has become national
For the same renson the important
matter of bankruptcy should be
subject to national legislation and
the Jcderal courts.
The British are rapidly extend
ing a network of railways over
India. About 30,000,000 will be
spent this year in the construction
01 new roads.

Brown-Sequard claims to have
made. It is an anesthetic which
suspends sensation without affect
ing either consci ousness or activi
ty, and may be used for a day, or
for a longer period with impunity.
Iu other words, he has "invented"
a drug which will-enable a sick
person to perform all the natural
functions and to assist in his own
cure without enduring any pain.
The exhaustion which comes of in
tense suffering will be put an end
to; but there will be no sus
pension of those activities the ex
ercise of which are necessary to
recover.
The republication of the cipher
dispatches, which exposed the
scheme to buy up South Carolina
for Tilden for 30,000 in 1S7G,
leads The Charleston JSTaos and
Courier to make the statement
that Mr. Tilden agreed to con
tribute 85,000 to the expense of
the canvas in that state, "that
5,000 were spent on the faith of
Mr. Tilden's promise, .and to this
day Mr. Tilden has not repaid a
solitary cent of that which was ex
pended in his name."
Alexaxdei: III is the despair
of opera managers in St. Peters
burg. Once the Czar was a boon
to them, for the announcement
that he would "honor the perform
ance," was sure to crowd the
house. But now, the mere sus
picion that he may attend scares
the public away, for they see vis
ions of bombs, dynamite and sud
den death.
According to the Boston Com
monwealth before General Butler
would accept the Democratic
nomination for Governor of
Massachusetts last year, he de
manded and secured the raising of
100,000 from the liquor dealers
as a common fund.
People who invest in lottery
tickets ought to suspend such pur
chases for awhile until they figuro
out their chances fqsuccess in
such a lottery as that of Cuba,
whose net profits last year, after
paying heavy expenses, were over
five million dollars.
Tiierb are over 520,000,000
acres of land in the south, of which
70,000,000 are in cultivation. In
18S2 these cultivated lands pro
duced crops valued at $900,000,
000, an increase of 214,000,000
in value over the productions of
1S80.
General Beauregard says of
Governor Butler: "Ye are ner-
fectly willing that he should be
gorernor of Massachusetts, but as
presidential candidate he would
not be likely to receive strong
support."
Reports from tho Arctic Ocean
states that it has been a very icy,
bad season there, with but little
outside whalinjr. Walrus were
plenty and increasing. Twice as
many were seen as last season.
Two Republican and two
Democratic members of the new
congress have died since their elec
tion, and the chances are that
three, possibly four Democrats
will be chosen in their places.
Stanley, the explorer, after
penetrating far into the interier of
Africa, has returned to Stanley
Pool, and will retrace the country
covered in his former iournev

Canada has received 138,384
immigrants during the eip-ht
