Mr.. George d. Phelps has published a reply to the
card Of Messrs c. r. Robert, Jas Brown and others,
in relation to the Affairs OF the Delaware, Laekawana
and Western Road from which. in justice to NJ.
Phelps we make the annexed extract:
Neither M Brown nor NJ. Robert, upon their oaths,
will deny one single important allegation msde by me
against the Ccnmittee or other imputed parties |
will hold myself ready 10 meet and question them on
this issue.
One word in regard To these undgnifed insinua-
tions: did not call the Gentleman private character
in question: the contrary, stated that was prin-
cpally because of Me-srs. Robert and Browns high
position and character that became the more neces
cary for 70 expose their great errors aud mon
strous wrongs IA me.
Messrs Brown and Robert have both known me
well for many years. They viii neither of them dare
10 put these Institutions into the tangible form of an
assertion: nor will either of them-being las they
have indiscreetly expressed themsevesl professors
Of religion" presume Ia place their hands on their
Bibles and say that they believe these nsnuations to
be true.
Twill now briefly notice of their misstatements.
made no charges against ''the officers and managers
of the Delaware, Lsckawana and Western Railroad
Company in general, and the gentlemen know 1t per,
fectlv. have seven times exposed and di-proyed
that mis-tatement. II is not true that there was
patient hearing OF what had TO say that, also,
has been abundanty retued Its not true that now
" declare majority Of the Board ot Managers tree
from censure." That happy state of confidence and
good feeling destroyed nearly two years since
Nor that chose portion oi the Investigating CON-
mttee;" that mistake has been fully exposed IN the
Review. But will pass the remaining errors OF
less importance and consider the resolution quoted by
the gentlemen and what they say concerning s adop.
tion. This is the same resolution, copy nt which
have twice yainy sought to obtain at the office OF the
Company, and the motive for refusing it.
The resolution aud preamble, az quoted IN the
Gard" is not the same that adopted at the meet
ing Neither its unenviabe author the Secretary,
90 IN its red
verbally under great exclrementpas-ed IN the midst
Of tumult, and not written down at the time The
original was sufficiently offensive, and equally charac
terstic of lie author; but it general in its
application and its reference Ia in the precise
words especially by Mr.. George ID. Phelps On
this point speak advisedy. The difference is OF little
importance except as indicating the spirit which con-
troled the authors of the Card" When the pecu-
liar relations of the author Of this resolution to of
the imputed managers, and his subseryency OF char
acter, known and considered, not much wonder
viii be felt at the transactioD But il is an absolute,
unqualified nisrepresertatlon TO say that 1t was
"pussed at full meeting of the stockholders" Their
number must be but little, if any, short of 4UO,
whereas the largest estimate which have received of
the number present at the meeting referred to 90
come say 80. and some 40.
also know positively from written documents now
in my possession received since the publication Of the
Gard that several stockholders not present at that
meeting dsapprove of the resolution, and would have
opposed il if present. Furthermore, will venture the
stockholders cannot be obtained to certificate ap-
proving that resolutions and if il can be obtained
will engage TO have it printed in your paper. do
not believe quarter or even one eighth of the
stockholders, other than the imputed parties will thus
express their approval Of that resolution. So much
for the facts on that subject.
Thompson's Bank Note Reporter says: The supply
Of Land Warrants exceeds the demand, and We again
quote u decline Of one cent per acre. We think this
decline is only temporary. Currency Is in better de-
mand and the interior banks are able 10 expand their
circulation. There Is change in any OF the banks
since our last.
TIE Old Colony and Fall River Railroad, which runs
in connection with the Fall River steamers from this
city 10 Boston, have recently attached the Creamer
Brake operators to their steamboat train and
attaching to all their passenger cars This invention
has repeatedly proved itself Of great value, and no
passenger train ought TO be allowed to without il.
