The AIRLINE RAILRoAD-NoTHING New
IN THE SITUATIoN.-A representative Of The
Constitution saw several of the parties inter
ested in this road yesterday and tried to as
certain what they thought about the ap
pointment of the new receiver by the
United States Court. Very little could be
learned. The general impression seems to
be that there will be fight before he gets
possession of this end of the line, but ex
actly how that fight is to come on no one is
prepared to say. Mr.. Fisher, the receiver
was expected in Atlanta last night. II ne
arrived we will probably hear something
before long, as all the parties are waiting FOL
him to make the first moye.-Atlanta Con-
stitutton, 11th.

ceiyed and properly arranged, the cCultnis-
sioners will reexamine the accounts, hoping
thereby to arrive at close approximation to
the correct amount of the company's ilablil'
ties.
The commissioners say their collections
have, comparatively speaking, been small ana
the cash on hand does not promise very
early dividend. Unless Congress comes to the
aid and authorizes the purchase for the use
of the Government of some of the real es.
tate owned by the company, long time Will
elapse before it can be hoped to accumulate
sufficient funds to make payment of twen-
ty per cent, for it requires nearly S6OO,0oO
to make such payment, and the amount IN
the treasury subject 10 draft, up TO the VIII
ting OF the report, Is only 1S,5OS.60.
The report, which is very. Voiuminous anc
exhaustive, concludes by referring to the
manner of paying dividends and submitting
certain amendments to the act OF June 2otn
1874, the adoption of which is deemed aDso
lutely necessary to proper discharge OF tns
duty of the commissioners.
