A protest was this morning served by ono of the
Directors of the Erie Railway Company upon Messrs
Lockwood and Keep of the Michigan Southern, TO
prevent them from making an agreement with tho
Erie to lay third rail upon their road, by which
broad and narrow gauge cars alike can be run froa
the Long Dock to Chicago, and narrow-gauge cars
from San Francisco and the whole Western CONT
nent to the Long Dock. An arrangement of thn
sort would give the Erie Company new life, and en-
able it to compete much more successfully for busi
ness with the narrow-g gauge roads north and south
of it, which have grown rich while broad-gaugs
roads have gone to protest Objections to third
rail would come with igood reason from the New
York Central, the Lake Shore, and Cleveland and
Toledo roads, or from the Pennsylvania Central and
Western connections, but they are open to ths
grayes suspicious when they proceed from Director
of the Erie Company, which has always suffered ia
the traffic from its diferential gauge The following

Nec York CITY, Feb. II, 1868
The Michigan Southern directors have been IN ses-
sion to consider several topics of Importance to their
property. No dividend has been declared but It ~
understood that the stockholders will have something
to show for the earnings of the road and in cOnstrue
ton. and amounting to s9,5O0,oOO. plan to lay
third rail upon its direct line has been under discus
| sion and is much favored by its most experiences
managers. Such rail, which would bring this ROAD
ON the east in accord with the Atlantic and Oreas
Western, aud Erie Railways and westward place tne
new combination in closer communication Win 'no
Chicago and Northwestern, would make conso"-
| datlon which would defy competition
"The Erie Injunction issued by Judge Barnard
interpreted upon the street as speculative mo's-
ment, and attracts little attention. The Treasures
of the company stands upon his contract which: De-
fore execution, was submitted to- and approved o.
by as eminent counsel have thus far called !, INV
question. The subject Is Of great interest ana .a'
public expects to see il fully examined. Iha' "A
