An Assocluted Press dispateh announces@ho electlon of Juy Gould ana Sidirey Dillon as DI- rectors of tho Central Rallrond of New Jersoy. This confirms the rumors that provalled for the Inst fow duys that Juy Gould had sccured the possession or control of this valuable proporty. What Gould’s objects are in_ sdeuring control of this rond are not known at this time. His'prin cipal desiro, however, was to secure tho superior terminal facilitics on tha Hudson River, which this rond enjoys, and thus be prepared to handlo the business at New York, sbould he declde to extond his aystetn of ronds to that point,and this action would Indicate that he meansto take such a step, or he woull have no usn for tho ruowdl. Both the Pennsylvanin Rallrond and the Baltlmore & Ohlo have been anxlous tv keeuro control of this property, und the intter Compuny inuy be serlously iuconveniencod by this outcomo’ot the muttor. The Delawars & Bound Brook Ralirand connects tho New Jerses Centrnl with the North Philtdelpbin, and fs operated umiter n trlrnrmu agreciment of tho compunics intereated.

But the change in tho mvnorfllllz of tho Contral of Now Jersuy may bring abowt n declded chungo in the attl tude betweon Baltlmore & Uhlo and Pennsy vanlt Rudleondsd Had the Pennsylvania Raticoad obtained control of tho New Jersey Central, It would bave simply deprived the Dualtimore & Oblo of an outlet to Now York, ns It would then have had control of all tno lnes between Philadelphia and New York. Hut now it romains with Jay Gould to suy whother the Bultlmore & Ohlads to uye the Hound Brook route hereafter or not. While Gould is supposed to be friondly to the Ponusytvanin Rallrond and is nssoctuied with Col. T'homns A, Scott in tho manngement of the Texus Paeifio, yot 1t 18 not probable that ho loves the Penusylvanln sullicloutly to brewk un ar- rapgement with tho Hultiinore & Obio, whlch is worth u good deal of money to his Now Jersey Contral, Gould has nover been known to injure himself shuply to benefit his friends, and it is thereforo fulr to suppose that the Bultimare & Onio will be permitted to run its tralns from Pulludelphin® to New York via i Lound Brook routo heroatier, und, thercfore, tho change In manugemout ot tho Central of Now Jersey 15 ltkely to Le maora dizastrous to tho Penpsylvanin jinterosts than those of the Daitimore & Ohlo.
