The reduc- ton of debt at this rate could not buthavea very favora- Die influerce upon the markst value of the stook, and the certainty of receiving dividends, actusily exrned, at @ fixed time, would give holders of the stock confidence. With good management Erie Railroad stock has a future, end we have strong hopes of it. The committee’s report shows that all we have heretofore said in relation to the management of the financial affairs of the company was trae; {t also shows that ms: importamt reforms heve been introduced into every department, snd induces us to believe that many more will be adopted. From the reorganization of the present Erie Railroad Compaay gm 1845 up to the month of July, 1854, a period ot nearly ten years, its affairs in every department were grossly, almost criminally, mismanaged. Exrors enough were committed to have swamped any other company. After having extracted nearly the whole life blood of the concern, and when it was upon the very verge of bankruptey, circumstarces compelled the ma- magement to change its system in every department’ and place the finances of the company upon a different basis. With the greatest diffionity delinquency was | avoided; but these difficulties led to a more thorough examination of the affairs of the corporation, and the adoption of such measures as will, ia our opinion, placa every one interested in the productiveness and prosperity of this great work of internal improvement, in a better po- sition than they have at any time yet occupied. The com- pany bave immense resources, whish, if properly husband- ed and applied, will very soon not only remove all embar- asemepte, but Testore its credit, and give all the facilities required for the most profitable operation of the line. It is only within the past four months that the manage. ment have exhibited apy disposition to make provisions for future emergencies, or have taken the first step to ar- rest the rapid course of the company to hopeless insol- vency. Fortunately the effort has not come too late, and we have hopes that the fature will be full of reforms, and tbat ina much shorter time than we supposed pos sible a few weeks since, the fiasnces and credit of the company will be restored to something lite order and standing. The recommeniations of the committee rela- tive to the resident and Vice President, we trust wiil be adopted. If the present incumbents cannot conform to such requirements, the quicker {hey resign the better for all parties concerned. The commit:ee’s report will, with- out doubt, be favorably received by capitalists in Eng- | land and on the Continent.
