ATTORNEY GENERAL BARLOW TO THE FRONT
The statement of Attorney General Barlow, made
before the Erie Investigating Committee to-day,
has occasioned much discussion here in quarters
fully posted on all the transactions connected with
the present management OF that corporation The
Attorney General denies that he ever received any
money from the Erie Railroad Company through
its Board OF Directors, but that the amounts which
were placed in his hands came from the English
and other stockholders direct. He also announces
that he refused any compensation for his own SER
vices; that he simply acted as q disbursing agent
for the stockholders retaining and paying counsel
&C., and that on closing the account after the coup
which ousted the Old directors, he returned to the
agent OF the stockholders the balance then remain
ing in his hands,
WHO HAS BEEN CHEATED IN THE MATTERp
OF course / am bound to accept the Attorney
Generals statement as correct, but am In pos
session OF certain facts which prove cOnclusivey
that all the money admitted by Attorney General
Barlow to have been advanced to him. and other
money alleged to have been paid to him, have
actually been claimed and paid by the present
Board of Directors Of the Erie Railway. First,
have been shown the copy OF q voucher or account
OF moneys paid by resolution of the Board to indir
viduals "for their services and expenses in the
contest to wrest from the recent managers the
control Of the road, in which voucher appears first
the name OF Francis E. Barlow, Attorney General,
$4,000. This voucher amounts to $59,632 10, and
interest is added Of 1926 40. The whole amount
was paid as follows:-Cash, $4,000; bills dated
April O. 1872, two at sixty days each, $1,000 Al; two
at ninety days. each $6os9 Is; one at 100 days for
s5I17 95, and one at 100 days for $4,'41 46-makng
in all the fetal amount with interest added, OF
$50, 1853 So This amount was paid to Daniel E.
Sickles per S. L. NJ Barlow, and was receipted for
by the latter gentleman.
ANOTHER TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR FEE.

Another interesting point in the Investigating
Committees task will be to ascertain in what man

dends declared on the preferred and common stock
OF the company. In this inquiry, which closely ar
fects both the stockholders and the company thew

from Messes John Taylor Johnson, OF the New Jer-
sey Central; George Talbot ELEPHANT, OF the Della

city and Mr.. Babcock, OF the firm OF Babcoek a.

strongly against the payment OF the dividend.

CASE FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERALS INvESTIGA-
Now here is evidently case for the Attorney
Generals investigation, present member OF the
Erie direction. who was also q member OF the old
Board, informs me that no money paid out on
either Of the above vouchers has been at any time
returned to the treasury OF the Erie Railway Com
pany, to his knowledge, and he adds that he should
have certainly known OF the fact had any amount,
large or small, been so returned. 1t is evident,
therefore, first, that II the $4,000 received by the
holders through Messrs. Bischofsheim and Gold
schmidt it was also paid by the present Board OF d.
rectors Of the Erie Railway Company and hence
must have been twice paid by the latter since the
Board has also reimbursed to Bischonshem and
Goldschmidt che gross amount OF money advanced
by them. The second amount Of 81, 900, paid on
April IL, seems to have escaped the Attorney GEN
erals accommodation, and 1t appears singular
that 1t should have been paid out to the Attorney
General Just at the time the Attorney General
paid back TO the agent OF Bischonsheim the unex-
pended balance OF $500. I offer these facts to
General Barlow in order that he may inquire into
the matter. But this is mainly personal AFFAIR,
the more important business OF the Committee Of
investigation being to inquire int the alleged
CORRUPTION OF LEGISLATURES BY THE ERIE BOARD.
In this connection may state, on the same
nation, that Messrs Diven ana Archer, OF the Erie
Directors, will probably be the most useful wit
nesses to summon before the committee, the
former gentleman having, on certain occasions,
appeared to be c0nversant with some OF the facts
in regard to the resolution to pay the $50, 900
alluded TO in my letter OF yesterday As the ex-
Senator has not approved OF the recent manage
ment OF the company's AFFAIRS and has resigned
his position OF Vice President it Is likely that he
viii be prepared to give evidence In the matter
without the embarrassment attending the testi-
mony Of an officer OF the company.
