wrote to llule and tiorhain for money;
that failing to bring the needful, they

A glance through the report of Presi

reasons for the recent rapid rise in Cen

w ere $l.ol»S,3l4, a decrease of $50
leaving an increase of net earnings
th««H* of IS77 of $281,821. All parts of
the road ixmtribute<! to this hamlaome
result—the increase of earnings on the
Savannah division footing up $160,532
on the Atlanta division, $30,036; of the
lank, $15,544; and on the Southwestern
ooal, $Tv\287. Even the Tyson county
awl produced $1,460 more than it did in
1S77. Tliese gains an* attributable to the
recovery from the fever epidemic of 1876
and to the increasing prosperity of the
farmers in the sections of the state tra
vers'd by the n»ad and its numerous
branches. The increase in net earnings
is also due to au economy that was both
strict and wise.
The property was improved during the
pa>t year. 3.000 tons of steel rails were
laid. 50 freight «*rs wen* adde«l to the
stock, one new engine was built at the
company's shop* iu Savannahaiml exten
ai\v nqairs were made U|sm the older
cars and engine*. Several building*
thoroughly rejkainsl, and the shops
at Macon eulatged. President Wadle
considers the property of the company i
a si«tisfa<'tory comlition.
In view of tht'se facts the resumption
of dividcntU in January last stands aj*-
pnrved; l»ut Colonel Wa»lley is confident
that they should.be kept at a figure that
will enable the company to create a sink
ing fund of not less than one hundrv
thousand dollars. t«* nu*et the maturing
obligations ot the company. He desires
to maintain the present high credit of the
company; and to do thia he urges upon
the stockholders the policy of not paying

dend than five i*-r cent.
President W.ulley has a right to con
gratulate himself upon tlie manner in
which he and his associates have con
ducted the great property during the
post-panic years. The stiskholders have
escaped the peril* of a receivership, and
the outlook is bright. But Col. « adley
makes no boost* as to the past, or prom
ises a* to tlie future. His modest, busi
ness-like report ia, however, foil of faith
in the company’* capacity. There i* a

THE REPLY.
New Orleans, October 4.—To lion. John
Sherman. Secretary of War. Washington;
There is more need of aid than ever. The
wharves are lwire, industrial enterprises un
closed up and nearly every tailoring man
is out of employment. A meeting last
Monday of nearly all the charitable :iss«gel
ations devehqast the fact that with the ex
ception of the Howard*, funds are nearly
exhausted. Tlie Howard* furnish no state
ment of the funds on hnnd; it may not tie
consistent with the rules to do so. Provi
sions are most needed, and iu my opinion
the Orleans relief committee is the best or
ganized for such distribution. They have
re{M»rted the need of 00,000 rations in addi
tion to wlmt have l>ee» issued I have no
idea that that will Ik*enough. Thirty eJiar-
itahle associations, through a committee
have made an appeal to the country, which
went over the wires last night. I cordially
endorse the representations made therein.
