Tile LILLE R1I[RO1U.

A paragraph was recently Struggled INTO the
local column of this among other Journals
which asserts that " the Erie Company are
taking defensive measures in anticipation OF
"the threatened attack from the English stock
"holders that, in order to protect the IN
"terests of the American stockholders, the
Erie Directors have DETERMINED &c, &c.
As legal proceedings are understood to be
pending, we should have preferred to re-
main silent on the subject; but the
smuggling of such statements into our own
columns cOmpels us to say that we do not In
dorse but condemn them. We cannot see how
the interests of one class of stockholders can
be at war with those of another class, nor why
the proposed action of the foreign stOckhold-
ers should be regarded or treated as hostile
proceedings" at all.
As we understand the matter-Nlessrs. Fisk,
Gould 81 Co. took possession OF the Erie Rail
road when its stock was worth over sixty per
cent, and when it was paying regular dividends
to at least part of its stockholders, if not to
all of them. They have had full swing
for nearly three years, during which
they have paid the stockholders nothing
have increased the stock by many mil
lions of dollars, and have not reduced the
aggregate debt, though the business has been
good, they charge fair prices and the income
acknowledged by them has exceeded Fifteen
Millions per annum. Meantime, they have had
an act passed under which they have so
organized and classified themselves that the
stockholders cannot take the road out Of their
hands for several years to come; and the stock
has run down to less than half its price when
they first got hold of the road.
Now, it is possible that they have managed this
great property frugally and faithfully we do not
say they have not: but we do say that the aspect
of the business is bad, and that they must sub
NIT their dOingS and accounts 10 the thorough
scrutiny of some impartial tribunal. While we
know nothing of the foreign stockholders nor
their agent, we presume this Is what they
want; and we can conceive no ground of
objection to it on the part of Messrs. Gould,
Fisk g. Co., provided they have been faithful
to their greatItrust. We are not their enemy
we should be glad TO do them good turn II
we could but they must face the music.
The good name and credit of our country
are involved; and these must not be sacrificed
to any private interest. Once more we urge
the Erie managers to submit their doings and
accounts to such scrutiny as Judge Wood
ruff, or some judicial authority equally capable
and trusted, shall deem proper They will
surely find this inevitable; and there Is no
excuse for wasting the money of either foreign
or domestic stockholders in vainly seeking to
avoid it,

have been much larger the difference might have
come from the pockets OF the passengers but this special
method OF taxation obsolete, not because te
system was not and fair one but because OF mis-
understandings In regard to It,"
We beg leave to correct the Railroad law
yer's correction The System" whether wise or
otherwise is not obsolete" The Camden and
Amboy monopoly of the right to convey passen-
gers across the State of New-Jersey Is stlll
maintained by her Legislature, and still gougcs
Il out of every person crossing that state
which would remain in his pocket If the Rail
road did not own and run the Legislature.
The only change is this: Formerly, fraction
of the plumber was paid into the State Treas
ury: now, the Railroads attorneys and stipend
aries in Congress, in the Legislature, ana IN
the lobby, take all that the Railroad directors
do not concede to THEN stockholders. lhe
Monopoly has just shown its pOwcr-that Is,
the power of It's money-by defeating bill
which would have enabled us to get across
New jersey an hour sooner and dollar
cheaper than we now do. Aud it will so beat
any bill that may threaten interference with
its plumber andsts legislative corruptions.
There is no hope, no chance, of an over
throw of this robbery until Congress shall at
last be driven to charter National Post Road
from the st. John to the Rio Grande, to be
constructed in sections whereof that from the
Hudson to the Potomac will naturally be the
first That ought to be done at once; 1t Wul
be done whenever justice and public good shall
prove more potent than the MOnOpoly's abun-
dant cash. Such are the facts which Mt
Stockton seeks to obscure.
