Gen. Willets hes declined TO act az Director. The
twelve names On the regular ticket are members OF
me present Board the other names are put on TO fill
i'll vacancies occnsioned by the designations Of Messrs
Glanson Robinson Henry Sheldon, Gov. Morris and
Edward G. Weeks. The fret nine names on the In
dependent ticket are also members of the present
Board, and Messrs Moren, Won Hoffman, J. Skidmoni
and Cushmsn, are new men on both tickets. The
election takes place tomorrow at the Duane-street
Office Every stockholder should take sufficient in
ferest in the welfare Of the Road 10 vote either for
ticket or the other. We have no doubt that either
ticket will conduct the affairs Of the road with fidelity
and ability. Many the present Board have devoted
much time and labor to the interests of this great
work besides involving their private fortunes for it's
benefit; and Of the new men Messrs. Moran and Van
Hoffman If elected, will be especially useful, and we
are clad TO sec their election occurred by their names
being on both tickets. These gentlemen will give
Swis and German capitalists grea. confidence in the
management of the road and i was due to the large
amount Of Continental capital invested in the securi-
ties of the Erie Road that it should have representa-
tves in the Board.
The Examining Committee OF the Erie propose to
be ready 20 report tomorrow but il Is doubtful if
The report caA be prepared in time. At auction TO-
day 400 shares McCulooh God Mining stock sold
at 6797Oc. share. About year since this stock
sold at sl2 v share. Tomorrow Mr.. Draper holds
his usual semi-weekly sale Of stocks &C., at the Ex
change at l2l o'clock.

A report from Chicago gives the earnings OF the
Chicago and Galena Railroad at $4,000 for Septem-
Der but the amount is much III excess OF the est-
mate that the truth on the report is doubted. The
Harrisburg Railroad has declared semi annual divi-
dend Of " cent. The Customs receipts at the seven
principal ports in the United States for September
show decline of l,l2s,OOO ms compared with Sept
1853 In view of the losses on mportatons this year.
,be decrease of inc ebedness to Europe is much larger
than is represented by the above decrease of duties

PERU AND INDIANAPOLIS RAILROAD.
To The Editor Of The " y. Irtbshe -
SIR: Your extracts from the late report OF the
President of the Madison, Indianapolis and Peru
Railway Company are calculated to do great injury
% the Peru and Indianapolis Road. The report from
which YOU quote contains errors in fact greatly I'M
dcrstatng the earnings Of the Peru end % the road
The aiuirs of these roads interest large nu nber OF
your readers; and 20 give them clear understand
ing Of their business relations Will require state
rnent somewhat in detail.
Some time since the Directors Of the Madison Road
aud those OF the Peru Road made contract for con-
soidation which was approved 10y the stockholders
If the Madison Road, hut never submitted for ap-
proval 10 the Peru stockholders. The Boards of Di-
rectors Of the two roads without suihcent legal ana
with no authority from the Peru stockholders ap-
poipted a new consolidated Board completely IN the
interest Of the Madison Road, and embracing names
not before in either Board and never elected by
stockholders. The rev Board took possession of the
Peru Road, discharged its Superintendent, and con-
roed the road until about the st of September just
mast when by order of Court the road was restored
to the old Directors of the Peru Road who now con-
troll he same.
Pending these legal proceedings the President OF
the Consolidated Board published the Objectionable
report The errors in fact were unintentonal, but
the report wac well caculsed TO deter the Peru stock
holders from separation from the Madison Road,
by omittne to state facts in their possession showing
the progressive increase OF receipts since the road
wac opened The passenger traffic of the road alone,
based the receipts for the month of Aprl-the FIRST
month the road was run through-were more than
sufficient pay running aud all other expenses, and
interest on the bonds of the Company
