We referred some days ago TO pamphlet issued
by Charles Elct Jr. Civil Engineer" The Position
and Prospects Of the Schuylk Navigation Co." in which
there series of unprovoked attacks not only on the
prospects and situation of the Reading Railroad success
m rival to the Navigation Co. for the coal carrying trade
but also the honor and veracty Of the officers Of the
Company who were, by implications, accused OF making
false statements relation condition or aud cost OF
transportation on, the Road We have now before lis
circular President Of the Reading Road in reply
TO some OF the msstatencnt of Mr. Eet in which 1t Is
shown that looking the business OF Transpor aton Co.
through the medium of employment In rival company
has not the effect ogving any remarkable purity to the
vision Things appear distorted and the observer sees that
which he wishes to see, not that which actually is The
circular is written in dgnifed and gcntlemanly cncin
this particular the Of the document which pro-
yoked H. and Is marked by absence Of all recrmBatoD
The President says in relation to the pamphlet by Mr.
Ee had It's author confined himself 10 the usual sum-
mary expected profits and engineers estimates this re-
Yly would unnecessary but II processes 10
erect credit by unwarrantable assault upon others,
The Managers have felt it their duty meet the publication
By Il full and decisive denial" The following
tracts from the circular:
The increase of the debt the Company the
by which produced, the Managers believed to have
been sufficiently explained In their late Report That large
sacrifices made TO acquire the means to complete the
work. Is matter OF public notoriety, and has never been
concealed or suppressed.
In the pretended analysis Of the late Report Of your Man
agers 1t is stated, 1.-The President acknowledges
writer, showing the cost 10 be S939s35i 96, by which it
will be seen he deliberately added moro than 100000 10
the actual debt of the Company The Report itself stated
that the debt Of the Company tU be farther increased by
the payment the 5000 and engines ~ contracted
for completion the wharves 1t Richmond, and the
settlement OF some claims still uuadjusted. Again The
cast of the entire work and machinery will not In any
event. exceed $1,000 oO0 and uhen 1t shall become ad
visable the expenditure to this amount its
paclty for business win be almost unlimited"
The disbursements for construction account and and
engines, has been S4i7.77i Ga. Thus We find that the
publication of Mr. Eet increases the expenditures OF the
Company December l, 1874 S60 645 o.

TONS tho bulk OF having been done with the
wooden and light engines. The new engines take an
average 400 tons, and therefore the
ty coal per train will be materially increased this
But exhibit the allegation in Its true light, win

be required make less than 50 trips of "a miles and back
per annum The 6000 averaging tons Of coal each,
TO transport the same quantity would only be required
make less than 10 trips each, for the same period.
