RAILROAD WAR.
ENCsIing Contest Tor the Control Of the SuS-
auehnnna Road,

EScEIimR Contest Tor the Control Of the sus-
quehnnna Road,
hrOB, Hs Aibduy Journal AWgust4 4
A determined movement thoroughly organ
lied, was initiated Tsome months since TO wrcst
the control of the Susquehanna Railroad from
its present management.
Some months since, an attempt was made to
make President Ramsey party TO per,uading
the towns to- sell their stock, but Mr.. Ramsey,
deemng il for the best interest Of the towns
that they should retain it, refused TO volunteer
any such advice. The law prohibits the sale
Of stock by the town commissioners at less than
par without the vote of the towns but they
are authorized to sell at par at any time. The
opposition finding it necessary to secure the
stock held by the towns, if they we're TO succeed
recently formed coalition with jay Gould by
which the latter was to furnish the funds for tho
purchase of a sufficient amount at par.
II has been well known for some lime that the
Erie Railroad desired to obtain control of the
road, but President Ramsey has thus far stood
firmly by the best interests of the people and
has prevented the road passing out of the hands
OF the inhabitants of the section through which
il passes.
The struggle between the Erie party and the
local control came to head on Friday. On
Thursday night n number ol C0rpet-haggers
went ont On the line OF the road, bOuntiiuly
supplied with gTeenback>. TClegrlms followed
them, and early on Friday morning it was
known that formidable raid was in progress.
A number of commissioners arranged imme-
datey for sale Others remained open to nego-
tiation. Mr.. Ramsey followed on the noon train
on Friday. and from that time the contest tor
supremacy ragged ferccy. The fact that the
Erie party procured the stock of some OF the
towns ut less than was offered by Mr.. Ramsey
| has a suspicious look.
! Both parties have returned from their eXcur-
I sion up the road and each claim to hold ma
/ iOrity of the stock The transfer books close on
| Saturday, and the election takes place in Sep
| tcmbCr.
IN Injunction war has been inaugurated.
| panprs sprXpI this mOrpinur i'm the matter
| of two thousand four hundred shares of stock,
| sold by Mr.. Ramsey, some time since, as Presi-
| dent Of the road. What the result of the issue
| of this Injunction will be, it is impossible to say.
| Mr. Ramsey has eniOincd the transfer of the
! stock of the town of Oneonta, on the ground
| that it had been sold at less than par.
The Erie portion of the Board of Directors
consists of Messrs. J. II. Herrck, Jacob Leonard,
| Charles Coulter, Samuel North, David WILDER,
| Ezra Chase, and j. J. Austin. They claim to
| have secured 10, 700 shares. Mr.. Ramsey is
! equally confident that he controls a majority Of
the stock which consists of 20,632 shares.

'"Thc Wilmington Commercial is furions at the

Not so, sir. We said nothing about the whip

be fools if they didn't. Nor do they leave on

quires that after their discharge from jail they
shall wear "convicts jacket" as badge of
crime That is they shall carry around with
them everywhere certificate TO the public that
they are discharged conyicts. Should they obey
the law, the result would be staryation-fOr who
would employ them ?-or a return to crime.
They therefore donf obey the law, but leave the

Capture of Three Tugs Loaded with FiIibusters
Despatch 10 The Buenitg Telegraph.
New YORK, June 30.-The Ira Mabie, Jona-
than Chase, and H. NJ. Cool, three tugs filed
with recruits for Cuba, who left on the expe-
dition on Saturday night last, were all captured
about o'clock this morning. The tugs went
down the Sound on Saturday evening, hoping
that a steamer would follow to convey the re-
cruits to Cuba. The steamer did not make its
appearance, and the men on board the tugs
were reduced almost to n state of starvation.
The tugs and the men on board were captured
this morning, just off Gardeners Island at the
eastern end of the Sound. Among the men
captured with the expedition are three re-
porters, representing the New York Herald,
New York Tribune, and New York Sum- The
capture OF the tugs was made by the revenue
cutters McCulloch and Campbell. 1t is not yet
known how many men were captured, nor who
was in command. The tugs and men were
handed over to Admiral Gordon, at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard.
Return of the Bonds ,S stolen from the Ocenn
While patrolling Elizabeth street this morn
ing, the attention of an officer of the Sixth pre-
cinct was attracted to small trunk which lay
on the sidewalk. On the trunk were the words,
'ForICaptain Jordan, of the Sixth precinct"
The cover being forced open the trunk, was
found to contain large number of papers, which
were found to be the bonds and certificates
stolen from the Ocean Bank last Sunday, of the
value of 100000. One of the bonds, of the
value of $4,000, was made payable to-day.
Others bore near date.

NEW YORK, June G0.-Edward B. Ketcham,

is claimed on the ground that he was sentenced
for an offense not charged in the indictment.
From remarks made by the judge, 1t is generally
thought he will discharge Ketcham on bail. The
case creates great interest.

Secretary Rawlins to Attend the Dedication
A Street Railway FRllure-The Influx of
People.
Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph
GETTYSBURG, June 30.-A despatch has just
been received here from Baltimore, stating that
the Secretary of War, Rawlins, will surely be
present at the dedication on tomorrow; and
that there is probability likewise of the pre-
sence of General Grant. The latter is in Balti-
more to-day, and Congressman Ferry, who is
here, appears to speak positively when he says
the President will come. The Committee of Ar
rangements, however, having no informatioTon on
the point, consider 1t extremely doubtful.
Trains are constantly arriving filed with pas
sengers, but bringing as yet no persons of note.
A rude sort of street railway to the springs has
opened this morning, and couple of cars
brought from Washington attempted to run on
the track. 1t was so badly laid, however, that it
has proved more a source of merriment to the
crowds than of profit on convenience to the
people.
Governor Morton and Henry Ward Beeoher
are here. Both drove over the battlefield this
morning.
