T.. C1ErK1AHD, O., Feb. 25--Iha managers Of
the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati d Indian
apoiis Railroad to-day published an important
statement to the stockholders, with view to
explain the payment Of the February divi-
dend,; and oounteract the hostility to the
present management beforc the annual eleo-
ton On ths=4 4th Of March; The road, it
must be understood, has been for =
year part Under the management OF the Atlantic
Great Western Company, Bischonsheim and
McHen1y, Of London, being the prominent hold
ezs Of its stock. The bEoad-gauge party does
not, however, hold / majority OF the shares in
the road, and it is feared that, at
the incoming election the local stock
he!aars may refuse to re-elect q Board
. which case tho road would revert to the control
OF the old Company, and probably be grabbed up
by the Lake Shore and Vanderbilt. Tho Oleve-
land, Columbus Cincinnati d Indianapolis Road
is not leased to the Atlantic j. Great Western
Company, special Law and local iniunctions
having prevented the lease from being ratified
in April last. Tho struggle for it's future con-
troll will be vigorous and determined in the cleo
hon Of the zth pro1izno- ::

Showing that the road has eatned the usoal
