ERIE.

Abont six months ago the Directors of the
Erie Railway Company declared dividends on
the preferred and common stock out OF the
earnings of the road for the nine months
ended June 80, 1873. Almost Immediately the
question was raised whether the road had ac-
cumulated anything to divide out of its busl-
ness during that period. Both in London and
New York charges were freely made that the
accounts had been cooked" 1t was neces-
sary to borrow money to keep the road out OF
bankruptcy, and no money could have been
borrowed had the true condition of the road
been known. Hence the necessity of conceal
ing the actual results of the operations OF the
road under the new management
The view above presented of the financial
condition of the Erie Railroad receives strong
support from the communication we publish
this morning from Col. S. III. Dunan, late
General Auditor of the Company. The state
ments published by that gentleman during the
last four weeks have elected no satisfactory
RESPONSE from the officers and directors now
in this country. President Watson is expected
homo on a steamer already due, and we hope
that he will be able to relieve himself from
the unfortunate position in which he is placed
bythe statements of Col Dunan. The latter has
held for nearly two years a very responsible po-
sition in the office of the Company. The con-
dicling statements of President Watson and
Col. Dunan as to the disposition made of the seven
and a half million dollars derived from the
sale of convertible bonds present an issue OF
fact
1t should be settled at once. We have
have had the highest confidence in President
Watson. and this we do not mean to surren-
der until we are forced to it. But we
say to him in the frankness which
tho confidence we have heretofore
reposed in him warrants, that the affairs of
the Erie Road and his connection with them
are in such position that some explanation
from him is imperative. Col. Dunan is one of
Mr.. WatsOn's own appointees, and man
whose past reputation on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and before that in Ohio, gives
him a prima fdcie title to consider
alton. He makes specific statements
In regard to the sources from which the money
was drawn to pay the last dividends, and
they must be met, if met at all, by statements
equally specific and better authenticated. This
is the more necessary since, so far as our
observations extend, the opinion is gaining
ground that the late dividends were not earned,
and that the Company, financially, is going
from bad to worse.

LIMITS OF ARBITRATION.

About nine years ago, THE TRIBUNE pub
lished a letter from Mr.. Thomas Bach of
Rhode Island, recommending almost precisely
the plan of arbitration in the Alabama case
which, after infinite discussion, was finally
adopted and carried out to so satisfactory a
conclusion at Geneva. 1t is in reference to that
| early communication of Mr.. Balch that Prof
James Lorimer, the Regius Professor of Public
| Law and of the Law of Nations in the Univcr-
sity of Edinburgh, has written to him the let
ter which we print this morning. 1t is worthy
of special attention as the mature utterance
of publcist who, having devoted his life to
the study of international law and the theories
of international relations, and having been a
prominent advocate of arbitration and a con-
slant protestant against the barbarsm of war,
retains enough of impartial calmness of judg-
ment to recognize the limits which are prOba-
bly imposed upon the capabilities of arbitra
ton by the conditions Of human nature and
civilized polity.
Prof Lorimer expects nothing Of arbitra-
tion for instance in cases where one party is
morally incapable of entering nationally into
a contract, OF physically incapable of en-
forcing it's provisions when made. This
excludes most of the fighting which ordi-
nary falls to the lot OF England. 1t is
evident that neither the Emperor Theodore
nor the King Coffee Kalkalli was capable of
approaching any procedure except the one
which was put in force against them both.
Neither is there any prospect that the civilized
world will ever be able to interfere with the
progress OF the result Of civil wars. Prof.
Lorimer does not state this as his own con-
clusion, but his references to the Paris Com
mune and our own war of the Rebellion
would lead in that direction. In cases where
the real object of a war is to deter
mine the relative strength of two nations,
and where an unquestioned supremacy is
to be the prize of victory, it is clear that arb-
tration is hopeless, except by an armed inter-
yention of allied powers too imposing to be
resisted. 1t was, for example, impossible to
preyent the Franco-Prussan conflict The
trivial question of the interview of Benedict
and King William in the garden at Ems,
might of course have been arranged in any
half-hour's session of jury of gentlemen.
But the genuine, unmanageable question which
remained behind, was the one which could
not be peacefully settled; that is, whether
Prussia OF France was the stronger. The field
of arbitration seems therefore to be limited to
the class of disputes of which the Alabama
and the San Juan Boundary questions
are specimens. How narrow this field is,
NAV be seen when we reflect that except
in case of great popular excitement they would
never have been made a pretext for war, and
that If this excitement had really existed they
could not have been referred to aibitra ton.
The void is yet far frou that millenniaI

condition when reason and charity are to ex-
crcise a commanding influence upon disputes
between nations. The better sense OF mankind
has come, however, to recognize the irrational
character of war; and the advocates OF peace

sanguine in hoping that the future is theirs.
But at present their nearest attalnabie Ideal

ING. the ouestion whether the nation shall
adopt lying as q policy aud false promises for
a currency, men are standing of from each
other, talking about party lines that existed
in a period gone by upon issues that are
dead. swept out into the limbo, impossible
of resurrection. What question is there to-
day that approaches in Importance this one
that so comes home to the national honor,
and in which, as every thinking man can see
are involved far higher considerations than
any that have ever at any time before entered
into our politics II is waste OF time to
talk about parties or preserving parties before
such an issue as this. The worst that threat
ened us during the dark days of the war was
defeat Better have been defeated then than
disbonored now There is no cause for THIS
Infamous action; no pretext OF excuse for 1t.

MOIETIES.


The great obstacle to the abolition Of the
system of moieties is the fact that the Custom
house is the principal political engine of the
ruling party. A Collector who is required to
keep the machine in order, pack primaries
and manipulate conventions, Surveyor and
Naval Officer who are expected to cooperate
with their chief, and the numerous sub
ordinates of the service, having their
respective parts to play in the political game,
must all be plentifully supplied with money,
both for their personal use and for distribution.
That is the reason for moieties. We have
warned the merchants from the first that the
system would not be abandoned without a
determined struggle, and that the politicians
interested in its preservation, when they
found change inevitable. would resort to
delusive amendments leaving the Objectionable
features of the law essentially unchanged.
A bill to repeal all moieties and for other
purposes" was introduced in the House OF
Representatives on Thursday by Mr.. Ellis IL.
Roberts, from the Committee of Ways and
Means. Mr.. Roberts is the special comrade-
