New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1854-10-03

II will be seen that the transactions at the Clearing
House have been decreasing for the last three weeks
having gone from slOs 900 900 to slOI 900. The
amount Of Canal tolls collected at this port from May
Is. to Oct l. is s2i7 5l7 against SEA, 96l epe-
Rod Of the previous season
The stockholders meeting of the New-York and
New-IIaven Railroad Company will be held to-mor-
row at the Apollo Rooms Broadway, at II o'clock,
to receive the report Of the Directors and to discuss
the question OF the over issue Of stock, and decide
upon the action of the Company in regard to it, The
Committee Of the Board of Brokers have obtained the
opinions of Charles Conor, Judge Bronson and
Daniel Lord TO the effect that the Company is bound
to protect the holders of the overssued stock while
the Company have the opinions Of Messrs. Wood and
Noyes TO the contrary effect. When such eminent
doctors disagree it is not for layman TO express an
opinion. We can only rei,erate our conviction that,
legally bound or not the Company should in equity
respond to the innocent holders of the fraudulent
stock TO the extent of their actual losses We think
they are the more likely to respond 50 per cent.
of the admitted genuine stock Is held in New-fork.
The fight tomorrow will probably be upon the
question as TO who shall vote. Ii is understood the
Directors will refuse the privilege Of voting to all bu
such az they have indicated as genuine stockholders
The basis they have adopted for distinguishing genu
inc stock is arbitrary and unjust but in order that
the business of the meeting may proceed will proba-
bly, be the best policy of those stockholders whose
votes are refused not contest the point the spot
but to allow the voting to proceed, and then enter
their protest against the acton OF the Directors. We
do not think there Is any disposition in the majority
Of the Board to override the real rights Of the
holders Of fraudulent stock and a Committee Of
Conference will probably be recommended from
both classes Of stockholders to report what should
be the action Of the Company. This would be fair
way IA get at results while if the rejected stockhod
ers should persist by noise and violence in endeGy-
oring TO vote the meeting would probably break up
without any practical result being arrived at. We
have little doubt that such Committee of Confer
ence would report programme which would be con-
cilatory and satisfactory as the circumstances Of
the case would allow. The election OF Director. for
the Erie Road is attracting considerable attention 10
the street. As far ascertain there will be no
serious opposition TO the reelection Of majority Of the
present Board, but there appears 70 be disposition 10
leave out those who are largely connected with stock
operations. Messrs. Ramsdell, Leupp, Smith, Knapp,
Dodge Marsh, Drew, Sheldon, Taman and perhaps
some others Of the present Board will receive very
large vote. The new names we have mentioned to
FL vacancies and replace the names left Off those
of Jas. Brown, VIM. b. Astor Brown, Lorlard,
VIM. b. Skidmore, Henry Snydam, J. j. Phelps,
r. H. Winslow, and others. Probably many Of the
above would not acceptif elected.
