Messrs. FISK, GOULD, and the Erie clique gene rally, are progressing on their road to the ---. Joseph ll. Ramsay of Albany turned up as the cham pion of the stockholders, and by way of settling his old scores with FISK for the Albany and Susquehanna affair, for he was the President of that road, and was FISK'S opponent in the celebrated Battle of the Tunnel. A statute of New York empowers the Supreme Court to suspend Directors who have abused their trust, and under this, on Mr. RANI-. SAY'S application, Judge IVILLIAm MURIIAY, at a session of the Supreme Goan in Delaware County, cauprm(lea FISK, GOULD, and five others. PIIILO T. RUGGLEa, a New York lawyer, was appointed referee to take evidence iu the case. Elsewhere our readers will find some facts show ing the management and the " watering" of the stock. The plaintiff estimated the plunder of the ring at $41,293,000, the depreciation within nine mouths in the value of the stock at $14,485,989, with ten millions more on the stock issued in March of last year. It is also set forth that this money was recklessly used in conjunction with Tammany in gold and other speculations, and was lavishly spent in supporting Operas and licentious practices, the offices being sumptuously furnished and connected with the stage of the House by a secret stair way. What with such expensive amuse ments, and the enormous outlay on bribes, the bad management and shameful neglect of the rail way, the property was travelling on the same road as the ring to the Strikes were frequent, accidents appalling, trains behind time and irregu lar, and public confidence in the line has been lost.. RAMSAY'S complete history of the ring's operations' covers 90 close ,Written pages. For a moment it was imagined that the Judge's order would break up the ring, and Eric Stock rose one in New York ; but they little knew the material of which the urt daunted FISK is made. Before the process of sus pension could be served he procured a counter-order from a country judge, BALCOM, who happened to be in New York, which had the effect of staying proceedings till the Erie ring could commence an action before Judge BARNARD against RAMSAY, which they did on the 25th November. Mr. FISK then wrote to the Tribune, to show up Mr. EATON and the former directors, who had brought a new suit against his clique. Therein he pro pounded nine questions for Mr. EATON to an swer, and he has continued to publish this letter as an advertisement as he threatened, though he does not show that the Erie ring had managed the road in the interest of the shareholders, but that Mr., EATON had palmed off a worthless pro perty in the Bradford Road at a high price on and had otherwise plundered the company. Further, Fist( announces immediate proceedings to make. him disgorge his ill-gotten gains. Meanwhile the Erie have brought an action against Commodore VANDERBILT to recover $5,000,000, of which he had defrauded the company, and the Commodore had to appearbeforeJudge BAP.NAP.D, when he was examined at length. He had received a cheque for $1,000,000 from JAY GOULD, and a bond of $1,250,000 of the Erie and Hartford Road in July, 1868, on a contract with DANIEL DREW, for selling 20,000 Erie shares at 80, which at the time he thought good to hold. After wards he made up his mind to have nothing to do with Erie, and the stock was sold to DREW. When that gentleman was entrenched inNewJersey he twice visited the Commodore, but VANDERBILT would give him no advice, and he never said that if relieved of certain stocks this litigation could be settled. He still owned about $1,000,000 of the Boston, Hart ford, and Erie Bonds. It was generally suspected in New York that the Delaware movement was a stock-jobbing mlnceuvre of the Commodore, who, however, asserts that he . had nothing to do with it. A strong guard kept watch over the Erie offices in the Opera House, the sentries at the door admitting no one without a countersign. Even those most interested in the road were peremptorily refused an entry, being told that FISK had gone to Boston and that GOULD was ill. I❑ the Ohio Cour a the case of the Atlantic and Great West...trn lelse was postponed till November 26, when it was brought up before Judge BorNToN, all parties being present except the sick GOULD. The receivers swear that the earnings of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, from April 9 to August 31, inclusive, were : "From freights, $1,492,714; from passengers, $387,279; for mails, $14,107; from express, $30,572 ; miscellaneous, $10,102; total, $1,934,774. The road, meanwhile, has moved 763,420 tons of freight, and 93,474 passengers. The debt of the Atlantic and Gi eat Western Railway is as follows : —Mortgage bonds, $30,348,900; accrued in terest thereon, $7,024,307 50c; debentures, $14,000,000; floating debt, $13,000,000; stock, $30,000,000 ; total, $94,379,207. There are affidavits in Court that the road cannot sell for $15,000,000, if put on the market with the utmost care." Dr. BALDWIN certified that JAY GOULD was too ill to leave his residence in Fiith-avenue, and a postponement was therefore demanded. In reply, a New Yorker swore positively that GOULD was at the office on the very evening that the certificate was dated. Twenty minutes were then asked to give GOULD time to answer a proposal for an ad justment which had. been sent by telegraph. This was allowed, but nothing in reply was heard from GOULD, and after adjournment to the evening the case was proceeded with. The following is the Report : "Mr. Hutchings, for Wisner H. Townsend, a defendant, proceeded with the motion for the removal of the Re ceivers, and when the name of W. Archdall O'Doherty was spoken, W. W. M'Farland of New York, Attorney for tho Atlantic and Great Western, stated that he was authorized by dr. O'Doherty to tender his resignation of the Receivership. Thus Gould is left alone in the con tested office. Mr. Hutchins read an affidavit from Col. Rush C. Hawkins, Director and formerly Attorney for the Atlantic and Great Western, wherein ho gave tho particulars of a compact between Gould and Millenry, for getting an order of sale quietly, thus throwing the Atlantic and Great Western into their hands. The Com pany was then to be reorganized, and Gould was to take sixteen twenty-eighths of the stock and APllenry twelve twenty-eighths. There was also a letter from Frederick A. Lane, attorney of the Erie, to Hawkins proposing that the Erie and the Atlantic and Great Western make an arrangement for appointing receivers, that no antagonistic element might interfere. Another affidavit from Haw kins averred that the plaintiff, John R. Penn, on whose ,motion tho receivers were appointed, was instigated to take this action by the company, was in collusion with it, and in the employ of it, or of the officers, and that the .object of his action was to prevent the payment of rent due to the Atlantic and Great Western. James M‘Henry's affidavit declared Gould to ba a large holder of Erie and Atlantic and Great Western Bonds and Se curities, according to his own repeated statement at the time of the appointment to the Receivership and since. When the attorneys were about to begin their pleas, a delay was asked, and finally an adjournment was taken until to-morror morning. Judge Boynton stated that ho would have no more delays. Negotiations for compromise are lively, and may be completed to-night." \Ve may here state that GOULD was prepared with many witnesses to prove that he had not a penny in either the Erie or Great Western Railroads, as this is necessary I.efore he could legally act as R2ceiver. We know the result as regards the Atlantic and Great Western, the Erie clique having been de feated ; but another suit has come on, being vir tually the thmtened attack by the present Direc tors of the Erie against theold Directors. their complaint is thus in conclusion summed up : " That defendants pay to plaintiff 5309,050, with inte rest thereon from average data of July 1, 1867; that the defendants, Daniel Drew, Dudley S. Gregory, Robert 11. Bordoll, Wm. B. Skidmore, Thomas W. Gale, Don Alonzo Cushman, and Dorman B. Eaton, pay to plaintiff all the damages sustained by plaintiff from the trans actions herein set forth, not exceeding $200,000." —Anglo-American Times. Mr. henry Bergh, the President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Now York, pro. tests against the cruel and demoralizing practice of tying fowls to stones and otherwise, and shooting at them on a wager, as contrary to law, and says that his society has taken the necessary measures to enforce the law by caus ng the arrest and punishment of offenders. Congress met last Monday—the first Monday of December as appointed by the Constitution—for its long session, though it will adjourn in a fortnight for the Christmas and New Year holidays. The time up to this recess is mainly devoted to the recep tion of the PRESIDENT'S Message and the Reports of the Secretaries at the head of the different De partments, together with the very important re ' ports of subordinate officers, which, in their mag nitude, constitute a large volume, triving, in the ag gregate, a full, true, and particular account of the progress during the year of the United States. The systetn is the bestyet introduced by any Govrrnment to inform the people, as well as Coogres , , of their af fairs. Complete statistical details are seu tto the Sec retary of the Treastuy, such as the paper of Gen. SPINNER, of Commissioner DELANo, of Speei-.I Commis:inter WELLS, and on t hem! Mr. 13.tuTwri.I., together m ith his own wolk, bases hit report. Sfr with the Post-off - leo, with the War-office, and others, while those of the Secretaries go to the PRESIDI:NT, a,d form Vie groua 1-work of his Ales, -, .aee. From. every E. i.le these elal;orate docu ments flow in ; feom the Governors of Territerie, from the Commanders of Divisions ; and Congre.,lt, therefore, begins its session with the very fullest material for knowing what the Executive and the officers employed have been doing, how the Acts passed by the Legislature have been carried out, and the effect produced, what industry thrives, and what is depressed, &c., &c. The Forty-First Con gress,obeing electel with the PRESIDENT, would have met for the first time last Monday had not circutn stances necessitated a session on GRANT'S inaugura- - tion. Hence the old Congress .left and the new Congress immediately assembled at the Capitol last March, a very unusual course, and important busi ness was transacted. The Legislature therefore is known ; indeed most of the old members took their scats in the new House. The Committees, both of the Senate and Representatives, were then forme I, and, although some changes have occurred in the Senate through the death of Mr. FESSENDEN and the retirement of Mr. GRIMES, all the business of choosing officers and framing the Committees has been already performed. The Republicans are in a strong majority ; and both the President of the Se nate, Mr. COLFAX, who sits, iu virtue of his election as Vice-President of the United States, and Mr. J. G. BLAINE, whom the House chose as its Speaker, are attached to that organisation. Some changes will occur when the Virginia, the Mississippi, and the Tests members take their scats, but nothing to shake the power of the dominant party. In his Message the PRESIDENT alluded to the reconstruction of the eleven States left without legal State Governments on the close of the Rebellion. Seven have been fully restored ; Virginia is now in a position to be added to the family ; the results as regards Mississippi and Texas are as yet unknown, and a law might be passed to authorize the Governor of Georgia to convene the original members of the Legislature of that State, requiring each to take the Reconstruction oath. The loss of commerce will be made the subject of a special Message. The irredeemable paper currency is alluded to as an evil, and it is known that many funding bills will be presented by various members (of which the first to come up will be that of Senator SIIERMAN) to reduce the interest on the Debt, but perhaps even more bills will be brought forward to secure a speedy return to specie pay tuent. General GRANT'S worth on this subject as summarised . for the Times are ambiguous, and not understood in Europe, but in another article we endeavour to give an interpretation. This subject has been more forced on the people than any other by the recent heavy fall in gold, or rather by the rise in the purchasing power of greenbacks. Not withstanding the diversity of the views taken of this matter, to which the PRESIDENT alludes in his speech, there are really but two roads open—either to redeem greenbacks at their par value in gold when presented at the Treasury, or to buy them up as any other purchaser may do, and cancel them. Next in impertance are the laws relating to taxa tion, which doubtless will be those most discussed during this Session. The import duties, the excise duties, and the income-tax are all eagerly debated, mare especially the first and last. The oue involves the question of Free Trade, the other that of taxa tion ; and it is known that Mr. IleurwELL opposes alterations just now which may tms..:t le the revenue, particularly will regard to the incom 3 tax, the one mott endangered, which exidrcs by limitation on June 30. 1370, and but one more assessment can be made as the Act now stands. Hence it must be discusse 1, and renewed, orlapse. Questions of foreign policy are almost confined to Cuba and the Alabama claims, which, in some degree, neutralise each other. Con gress had no sooner opened than Senator CAMERON presented a petition signed by 30,000 Philadelphi ans, asking the State to recognise the independence of Cuba. What has been rumoured for some time Comes out di,tinctly in the PRESIDENT'S Messag.', his hostility to the renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada, as he believes that the advan tage would be wholly iu favour of the Dominion ; the inland taxes giving the British producer a large measure of protection. This is a subject of interest on both sides of the border, and the decision of the Washington Executive will be a severe blow to the aspiring new Dominion, NV hose troubles thicken east and west. It is also asserted that the PRESIDENT de clined to discuss the Reciprocity question with Mr. ROSE, who had proceeded to Washington expressly for the purpose. Even the French Atlantic Cagle is noticed ; the French Company having, it appears, availed itself of the permission to land one ecd in Massachusetts on a condition which does not ap pear to have been fulfilled, that it should get the privilege of landing another Cable in France con ceded to Americans. We have always warned that company that no such exclusive privilege as was guaranteed by France would be tolerated in Ame rica, and months ago we urged it to exercise its in fluence with the Government to modify the objec tionable clause. The PRESIDENT alludes to a subject we have lately discussed, the extension of railways in Russia and the Danubian Provinces, enabling the farmers of those districts to compete successfully in the markets of England and France with the pro ducers of the Prairie States, and he anticipates a falling off with Europe, both in the exports and the imports. To provide against this he would seek markets in South America, China, and Japan. His policy, both towards the Chinese who come to work in America and the Indian, is marked with spirit of fairness and humanity ; indeed, the whole Message is not only thus characterized, but with dignity, moderation, and good sense. Notwith standing that the PRESIDENT substantially adopts the views on the Alabama question which, when enunciated by Senator SUMNER created such an outcry in England, its tone is fully recognized by the English Press as conciliatory, and breathing a good spirit. Besides the PRESIDENT'S Message, and the voluminous reports from the Executive, to which we have alluded, there will be numerous others, many being from Committees directed to make in vestigations during the recess. For instance, the House Judiciary Committee has been inquiring into charges preferred against United States Judge BUSTEED of Alabama, which, it is believed, will re sult in the impeachment of that officer. The parti culars of the Paraguayan affair, to which we alluded last week, will be furnished by another Committee, and the rumour is that it finds Mr. WASHBURN had been made, without his knowledge, an instrument of the conspirators. The Election Committee, the Ways and Means Committee, the Census Commit tee, will all have much to say. The Ways and Means Committee have been on their travels throughout the country, on purpose to gather reli able information. Considering that Congress is in accord with the Executive, that matters of mo mentous interest await settlement, that that stum bling-block to all busines3 for years, the Negro Question, is now removed by the certain adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, and that there is no ANDREW JOHNSON to stir up the embers of a vain strife, it is probable that the present Session will be the most active, if not the most important, hitherto held.-11nglo-American Times.
