Presidents OFFICE, ALBANY, May q, 1879.
To ne Editor Of The american Railroad J.nrnaL
SIR: Myaitentiou has been called 10 a letter pub
sbed in Your journal of the l4th nst from the Pres-
dent of the New-Y ork and Eie Railroad Company in
reference to tie present low rates OF passenger fare
and If freight charges
Moran speaks i the western end Of the Erie Railroad,
on whch its principal business is transacted. Mr..
Moran admits that he controls this road and that they
first reduced passenger fares and cattle rates. Ils
Company was Of course obliged to do the same. la
regard 10 freight generally Mr.. Moran charges that
the reductions orgioated With this Company. L had
hoped to bave been spared newspaper discussion on thus
subject but as Mr. Moran has seen nj 10 commence IT,
feel called upon to win the most decided manner that
this statement in all its material parts Is wholly un-
founded aud that he knew, or certainly ought to
have kIowD, when he wrote his note to you, tnat
In the reductions to which he refers, only followed
the course Of bis road its Immediate connections,
which he might and should have controlled. The man
acement Of Mr.. Moran has been such as to intlct
vast injury all the leading railroad interests OF the
country He initiated syrem which has led 20 the
most disastrous results; and that the effects of
are visited with peculiar force on the road over whose
interests be presdes, he seeks to throw the odium
upon Others But this viii not do. The great body of
tie intelligent railroad managers of the country know
that he is responsible for the present low rates. All
the attempts thus far madethe last since Mr.. Morans
article sppeared 10 induce tn Erie Railroad to return
TO form err rates, have failed; and, while willing to
make certsin advances freight-in which they are
most deeply ipterested-they have utterly refused TO
consent to restore passenger fares to their former
sterdnrd.
This Company insists on increase in both passen-
ger aud freight charges and they entirely per-
suaoed that time will prove the correctness Of the
eourse they have pursued under the circumstances
which surround the questions at issue.

New CONVERTS TO SYSTEMATICALLY
London correspondent of the Manchester
