The report is current that the Erie Railway
directors have decided to pay dividend of 3H
per cent on the preferred shares lst Of January
next. We have reason to know that no formal
decision to this effect has been made; but Of the
fact there can be but little doubt The earnings
of the road for the calendar year 1862 will faa
but little, if at all, short of 81 500 OOO which VIII
enable the direction to pay off every dollar e
Of floating debt, and 31 per cent on tue preferred
shares, and have between two and three hua.

to the Supreme Court Of this State for settlement OF the
legal tender question, which Is at the present
ment topic of absorbing interest. The collection
