It Is. a somewhat dificult matter to get atthe methods by which the consolidation was ef- tected, all the parties thereto being extreme- Jy reticent. President Green, of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company, answered 2 question as to tho progress of the negotia- tions for consolidating the three great tele- graph companies by saying to-day: “The terns of consolidation MAVE BEEN ARRANGED, and the preliminary papers signed, They will be submitted to the Board of Directors of the Coumpany on Wednesday for ap- proval.” Hewas asked what theterms were, but these he refused to give, ur to «lsclose any further information on the subject. Ile Insisted that the condition of affairs was not such aste warrant any further statement. An attempt was ,made to elicit somo Infor. mation from the President of the Ameri- can Company, but he could not be found, being absent from his oflice through- out business hours. The other officers of the Company who were in declared that they wore blissfully ignorant of everything con- nected with or bearing on the new deal. 3M, JAY GOULD - : was visited.” He was discovered at his of- fice, which was, however, closed against the intrusion of the inquisitive public in general, and reporters in particular. = Mr. Gould, © however, answered the question by means of a messen- ger, and returned word to his questioner that he fut no information toimpart.. When Mr. Gould knows nothing,he generally buries Himself in his office and fires his replics through a port-hole, MH. VANDERRILT, also, hat evidently ropented of his readiness to talk last night, for he stationed a footman at his door te receive the cards of the press representatives, He dd not de sire to be seen personally, for the rengon, no doubt, that the business of finishing up the deal was taking 9 good deal of hils spare time, and interruption might dis. concert him. ‘Che Directors of the several compantes who wore visited and seen either said that they did not know anything. or do- clined to ba interviewed, ‘Phe ‘reasons for this secresy on the part of the manngers of the companies have become apparent in the IMMENSE OPPORTUNITIES FOI STOCK-JOI- JING ‘that still remain to the parties to the azrex ment if the prevailing street-rumors wero anywhere near correct. According to these, the stock of the consolidated company {8 to fixed nt $80,000,000, and of this the Western Union stockholders are to receive ‘$59,000,000, the American Union stockholdl- ers $15,000,000, and the Atinntic & Pacific stockholders $7,000,000, ‘rhe present eapltul stuck uf the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany 18 $41,073,410, that of the Atlantic & ‘selfie Company is $24,000,000, and that of the American Union Company, as reported tw the Stock Exchange on Aug. 24 Inst, Is $10,000,000, besides which thu last-named company owns 5,776 shures of stock of the Douluton ‘Telegraph Company, of Cunnda.

In reference to this point prouilnent offictal of the Western Union sald to-day that another telegraph Ine in this country Is an impossibility, ‘The Ines now In operation cover all the principal highways, and, it is well known that lines constructed away from the rafiroad cost too much for maintenanes’ to enable them to yleld t profit, In regard to the earnings of the consolidation, ft was stated that there would be no dificulty in earning at Jenst 7 per cont on the entire capital of $80,- 000,000, without imposing onerous rates.

As an Mtlitstration of the workings of the volley of the railroads, they cite sta- tisties, from which they deduce — the statement that “if, instead of watering te stock of these roads tn 1867 and 1808, Mr. Vanderbilt had reduced tho rates of transportation ton point which would have yielled 8 per cent net upon the then outstanding capital, tho public would, At tho present time, haye beet $75,000,000 aitTEn OFF, and $45,000,000 of stuck which cost. only the paper ant ink with which itwas printed, aud which. is now quoted nt $150 ber shara, would not’ be fit existence, and form a pretext for further tax- {ng the Industry and commerce of this Stale and country for all time to come.’ They say that’ a — hundred othor similar Instances might be given equally flagrant, “but this wlll serve to illustrate how the public wealth fs being concen- trated In a few hands by.a system of taxation, under the guise of. tolls or charges for transportation, compared with which tho tolls exucted by THE ROBBER BANONS OF TITER FRUDAT, AQES were petty, and between tho Justice of whieh it 1s hard to distinguish.” Further on the Committee accuse the rallronds of the grossest diserimination, and continues: In nddition to all this, for tho purpose of per+ potuating tho present system, which gives thom contral of tho industries of tho entire community, railroad mnanagers enter the fleld of politics and corrupt our cleetions, At tho Inst election the railroad tufluence made Itenle felt in imany Assembly distrivts, ro- sulting in soma cages in the dofent of honest and independent candidates, ond the olection of those who consented to be their creatures, It is freely stated in the public press that tho railroad interest intends to control the Senate of the United Stites, oa. it does thnt of this and othor States, and of tho eandidates men- toned for tho vacuncy from this State, soon to occur by tho expiration of the term of Senator Kernan, a majority aro , otose- ly aflitiated with tho ralirond interest.
