From the investigation already had it ap pears that Uub 100 miles of road from Atchi son -west-word was known as the Atchison and Pike's Peak Railroad nntil it was unloaded on the Union Paciflo in 1879 by Jay Gould in his i . CTnndconsolldationscheme.lt never paid the I Interest on its debt, which it hnd funded nt something like $030,000 prior to the consol idation, and its stock wn selling us low as 850 a shore. This rond, which, with its feeders, embraced a system of about three hundred miles, was gobbled up by Gould, ; who paid as high as $250 per share for its stock. Tho wily financier lost noth i ing by the transaction, for he turned, in the '. road in the .consolidation scheme at , exactly the saino figure which ho had , paid,, and reserved the right to lease S ' it to his Missouri Paciflo system This he ' did and it has ever since been o port of that system, paying to the Union Pacific its net u f earnings for a rental, and providing a parti ? cnlorly good thing for Gould on his St. it .lionlsjiaul. ., , I What the Commission desired to know was 5 . how the acquiring of this road, the stock of which was worth not moro than 850 per s J share, inoreosed the value of the Goveru- l went' lien for the payment of 8250 per t shore for its stook and its subsequent lease to ' a rival system at a nominal rental. Mr. Nichols, who was the treasurer of tho road at ! ; the time of its transfer, was accordingly sum- 'i ' moned as a witness. ,( ' Tho session room of the Commission was lined with ominous-looking black boxes, ; which bore appropriate inscriptions on- ,'nounqing their, contents to be'tbo testimony taken; and. ilooumonta. .and accounts sub mitted and giithered In the' sit montlis which. ".bavBj been devoted to the arduous ilobors , ofi the invesUgation. Their arrangement . , ion,the shelves gave a suggestion of 'caskets a ' .stowed away In a vault and that' idea was 5 jbelffhtened by the renicmbranco that many -3 lof'thfra contained the buried hopes of tho I 'stockholders of the Kansas Pacific hopes I buried in the Gould consolidation schome. I All the members of the Commission were S" resent; andtho first matter considered by jem was a telegram from- ex-Gov. Leland J f (Stanford, or California, suggesting a manner f' of settlement of the differences between the a Government and tho Central Pacific Bail- a road. He said : ,. , . . J . I desire to surest tost tbe commission report In I i (avbrof tbe appointment of a proper court to con- S slder the equities exlstlns between tho Govern; 1 ment ana tbe Central Pacific ltatlroad Company, as Inquired Into In accordance with the act of congress, approved lurch 8, 16ST, and render final fadpnent' thereon. Then the question what further legiilatlon may be j, .needed can 1e fairly considered. Iconsderthit f the act of Congress directing Inquiry Into the equities erects a different standard ! bywhlcB to measure the relations between the VM railway company and the Government from the :Jl purely legal relation theretotore existing. , , (m, This proposition was smilingly received I' 'and entered upon the minutes of the Com- I. ' mission, and attention was turned to Witness s Nichols, who had entered. Mt '' He is a tall man, with a sparse growth of l; - gray hair ineffectually Btriving to hide a jB growing baldness, and when not engaged in W reading, his bright eyes are shaded by a pair H i'of extensive gold-bo wod speotocles. M Mr. Nichols desired to make what he called i'M a dear and conoise statement giving the i history of the Central Branch, together with ! , the cost of its construction, and, no objection ' being interposed, he proceeded to do so. W Atihe time he became connected with tho m- JAtchiftm and Piko'sPealOn 1865;with Erastus .1 Corning, It. M. Pomeroy, Chauncey Vibbard J 'and others, Mr. Nichols said that its osaete 1 were V.600 mortgage, 1,600 United States I bonds and 81.000.000 in stock besides its J, Tbe witness's evidence, giving the history of the road, wos in the nature of an argu- Xv ment. He cited the act of Congress to show l that the consolidation of the road with the !M cHannibal and St. Jo road wos authorized, as Y was tbe final extension of the road tc connect )V . with tbe Union Paciflo at the one hundredth W meridian, I: ' Argument was bod before Solicitor-General if Philfips in 1873, Mr. Nichols, Benjamin B. I Curtis and Wra. M. Evarts appearing for the I extension, and it was decided that the road I bad a right to extend and receive the Govern- I 'meat lands and bonds, and General Grant, I then President, approved the map by affixing -his. signature. L " Afterward," said the witness, "Mr. Bout- V well, the Secretary of the Treasury, whose Wr- whole policy appeared to be to reduce the K' public debt, no matter what tho result M might be, yielded to publio clamor against IK1 the Faoifio roads and interfered with tbe ',! President, who recalled our map, tore his I! signature therefrom and placed the tornplece in his desk, referring the matter to Secre- j . tary Boutwell,' und thero it remains to if j Uils day. I went to Gen. Grant and asked m i him what wos the trouble and he showed me f , the piece of the map containing his signa mi. ture and told me not to be disturbed." A 1 The witness became excited as he reverted H ' to the wrongs that bad been heapod upon Mt him and his friends in the matter of the ex. HT tension of this road, and he punctuated his W statements with decided periods, indented I upon the surf ace of the table with a goodly sized fist. i Commissioner Anderson suggested that the , map. was recalled by President Grant be lli , cause it was discovered that the Atchison and V Pike's Peak road bad no right, under the act H of 18G3, to extend further than 100 miles V beyond Atohlson, whereupon. Mr. Nichols II , triumphantly turned to the text of the M act to r prove Uiat the Kansas Pocifle was to W;;-' connect with his road at that point, and. fall. . ing to dcrso, the Atchison and Pike's Peak if , ro id might extend. I Mr. Nfohols said that his interest in the ) road wag 810,000. or about one tenth. : - - IQ relaUoa to .tie sale of the road in 1870 to , Gould, h said that a few mouths prior to i!

It included tho stock of all the branch roads, so that it was really sold forMHpercent.1' tj. Before the tale to Mr. Gould did not the stock sell In tho market as low as eo I A. Yet; as low as It. . Q. Three months after the sale did It not sell as low as loo ; a. I do not know. Among other counsel employed by the rood in Washington, Mr. Nichols named William M. Evarts, Boniomin B.Curtis, the late Vice. President Hendricks and ei-Senntor Beverdy Johnson. Commissioner Littler Your case must have failed from want of efficient counsel. To satisfy tho commission with reference to the cost of construction. Mr. Nichols stated tho available assets of the company to be $,200,000. and proceeded to enumerate tho other charges, such as counsel fees, 8100.000; loans, $100,000, and interest on bonds, 8150,000. the total being deducted. This statement showed the construction chhrge to bo apparently $3,800,000. Commissioner Anderson-This sum or a part of it might have gone into the pockets of tho directors. Tim accountant who examined the books of the company here interposed to say that the cost of construction was only shown by balances taken from the books relating to the Osborn construction contract, which cannot be found. Witness said tbot ho had never seen these books. S, Did you ever receive the proceeds of any ted States or other bonds In connection with this road; A. Never. I sold a great many bonds at an avcrago ol w cents, and always turned the money Into the treasury of the road. Being unable to seonro an accurate state ment of tbe cost of construction, Commis sioner Anderson asked for an estimate from the witness. He said that 8110 per ton was paid for iron roils where steel rails could now be ob toined for from 835 to $10, and rolling stock and everything else was In proportion. He was '0 lawyer and not a practical railroad man, but believed that tbe road must have cost at least $50,000 per mile. CHOLERA ON BOARD THE BRITANNIA.

As to tho' departments, they are very lightly represented, while tho diulomatio element is also absent. Tho latter is in some degree oxplained by tho fnct "that many of the foreign gentry are still ab sent on vocation. The details of the racing management, as at the spring meeting, is nearly perfect, and If the money is only as well divided as it was at Pimllco. to the almost bankruptcy of some of the bookmakers, tho crowd will bo well pleased.

SMITH, WU, II. BlLLAM-r, (or the Committee. Following is Mr. Kicoll's reply Osxtliukn: I have tbe honor to acknowledge tho receipt ot your communication of the stth Inat. which Informs me that a com mittee of the beads ot delegations from sll tbe assembly districts In New York City to the Kepnbllcan County Convention, which will meet this evening, baa adopted a reso lution to recommend my name at a can didate (or the office of District-Attorney; that there Is no doubt that the recommendation will be accepted by the convention, and, that you would be glsd If I would signify my willingness to accept tbe nomination. I should Indeed be Insensible If I did not (eel gratified and honored by tbe approval of my con duct In omce which la expressed In your letter snd Implied by the tender ot nomination by a party of political faith differing from my own. And I am particularly grstlfled that you offer me your nomination with the full understanding that I am a Dnnoa at and will continue to be so. I have no desire to hold the office of District-Attorney. I feel that I have performed, (or a period at least, my share of the burdens and duties of citizenship. My desire ts snd always has been to return to the practice of my profession. Whatever special knowledge I have of the Itw and fact, ot Aldermanlo cues pending and undis posed of, that I regard ss tbe property of the people, and I than always be most willing, unre servedly to communicate It to tbe people's offlcltj representative. But while my desire his been to resume the gen- J sA x VNLq TIIK PARTING OF TUB WATS.

I cannot, 'howevtr, accept tbe nomination which yon tendered me In such nattering terms (or the reason alretdy stated to some members of your committee, that I could accept no Indorsement Involving discrimination between the chief of the office In which I tra now tn assistant and myself. To Mr. Msrtlne's loyalty snd fidelity to duty the people are Indebted for the repression of the gravest of crimes as much ss to anything I have done. If the administration ot tbe District - Attorney's offlon (or the now expiring term has commanded the confidence of the people becanto ot the, resolute prosecution of grest malefactors, It Is because the head nt the office was courageous aud faithful. 1 cannot be a party to any movement which does not recognUe these' truths. The resentments created by tho prosecu tion, conviction and banishment Into exile of powerful brlbe-glvers and bribe-takers will be Industriously uted (or bis defeat at the polls. Mr. .Martlne will need, as he should have, the support of all good cltlxent, and I cannot think ot running (or office upon any ticket, the success of which might possibly detest the man who has sustained and supported me throughout every esrnest effort for the publio good. Your obedient servant, Da Lxmcit Ntcoix. ' o REPUBLICANS E0O1C0LL. HepreaeBtatrve Meat Bayttar'HB- and Mr." ' Martlne Should Be on tbe Ticket. The opinion .of a number of Republican voters has been obtained by reporters of Tttb Evektjio Would with regard to the advisa bility of plaoing both Mr.Martino and Mr. Nicoll on the Bepublican tlcdet. The results are given below. Mr. E. T. Toft, senior member of tho firm of Teft.Weller & Co. I think it would make a most excellent ticket. Messrs. Nicoll and Martlne have done splendidly. Mr. Hamlin, of Asorge E. Hamlin & Oo. I would vote for Nicoll on any ticket. Mr. Martlne. I don't know as much about but think he is all right Mr. Vail, of Sullivan, VallA.Oo.-I wiU rapport Niooll and Martino. Mr. Lewis, of Lewis A. Vale I am in favor of anything for honest government. Martlne and Nicoll fill the bill. .. . , Mr. John Olafln, of H. B. Claflin A Co. I would support tbe ticket without any hesita tion. J. B. Pitcher, Secretary of tho United States Mutual Accident Association i Martine and Nicoll can have my support. Ex-Alderman Morris: '' I think the Be publican convention will commit a great blunder if they fall to nominate Nicoll and Martine aa such a course will add thousands of votes to the county and State tickets. Martine and Nicoll have worked xealonsly to proseoute the Boodlers, and both of them should be sup ported for office. . . . . . President James Q. Smith, of the 8tock Exchange I am in favor of both Nicoll and Martine, and should heartily support them were they nominated on the Bepublican ticket. Jesse Seligman, banker We are going to support whatever ticket tho convention nominates, and tho names of Martine and Nicoll upon it ought to deter no good Bepublican from cordially supporting it. Henry Clews, broker Both Nicoll and Mar tine have done well in office and deserve to be rewarded. Good citizens should support them irrespective of party, and no Republi can ought to find fault if their uiimes are on tho county tloket. W. Seligman, banker I want to see the Bepublican ticket elected, whatever it may be. I will be satisfied if the names of Mar tine and Nicoll are on it W. A. Ooff. lawyer I am in favor of Nicoll and would willingly support him. As for the General Sessions Judgeship, 1 would prefer to support Lyon rather than Martine. O. K. Clark, broker. If Martine and Nicoll are on the Beuubliran ticket I shall be clad to support thera. I would vote for them anyway if I had the opportunity. W. B. Miller, grain trader You can put me down aa in favor of both Martine and Nicoll. I think that the people of New York should Bupport the best men without regard to P fp. Goldsmith, broker-I am a Nicoll and Martine man, snd I think you will find all the Bepubllcans feol the same. W. H. Trofton. broker I hope tho Bepub llcans will both indorse Martine and nomi nate Nicoll. They will both be elected. Jesse noyt, grain trade I am gratified that Nicoll has been named for the DTstrict-Attor-neyship, and trust that he will accept the nomination. I would support Martine cor dially If the party indorses him. Daniel E. Tuttle, broker Give us Martine and Nicoll. They are the very best men lor the places. , . O. Pemberton Wurts, jr., Delaware and Hudson Coal Company I should prefer to vote for Nicoll and Martine for the offices for which they have been nominated than any Bepubllcans who could be named. For local offices political prejudices should be thrown aside and the best men supported. George H. Clearman. broker-I should like to see tbe names of both Martine and Nicoll on the ticket A. B. Btratton, grain trade-rtalnly. I would cheerfully support Martlne and Nfoou If they are nominated. They are good men. and deserve office. W.B.
