THE RAILROAD TITANS.- FIVE MILLIONS IN THE AIR. Fresh Developments trom the Erie Well— “Put Money in Thy Purse’”—Rall way Chesterflelds and How They Swore — Temptation Jim Upen the Stand. Once more to the breach did the railroad warriors assemble yesterday in formjdabie array, just as apgry looking as at any previous stage of the litiga- tion. The Supreme Court, Special Term, was crowded to the doors, It being anticipatea that some new legal shaft would be sunk interesting reve- lations were earnestly looked forward to, and by mone more than the defendant himsel!, who, leaning ‘wpon his venerable stick, rocked himself disconso Jately, and ever and anon cast a wistful glance around. “The Twelve Temptations,” with his usual Jeunty air, took his seat with a knowing wink all around. Eleven o’clock, Jadge Barnard having taken Ile seat upon the bench, THB CROSS-EXAMINATION OF GOULD was med. After referring to the settlement and the issue of Erie stock and the subsequent appoint- ment of a receiver, he stated that 1t was his impres- ston that the executive committee authorized this suit to be brought. A discussion then arose as to the production of the books, and a@ petition having been read setting forth the formal proceedings in the matter, the Court held that the question as to the legality of the issue of the stock was concerned Was not material. Several questions were then pro- Pounded py Mr. Clarke as to the disposition of the stock. The witness stated that the Erie Company got rid of all its money by this settlement; Mr. Drew paid in on that settlement $540,000 on account of the company’s claims; two or three months after ‘the settiement there came a break in the market; Mr. Vanderbilt agreed to carry some stock; we became convinced that he had violated the agree- ment; there were secret negotiations between Drew and Eidrdge of which we did not know; witness could not state the greatest fuctuations in the stock, but it decimed from the time of the settle- it; witness could not tell the numbers of any of eh ifivates received by the company; he could ascertain the numbers of the certifcates thrown on the market by Mr. Fisk, but could not ascertam the Bumbers of those received by the company; the $540,000 came trom Mr. Drew; the $460,000 came from the treasury of the company; they did not wet all of the $540,000 from Mr. Drew; he was aliowed interest; he bad before paying ths Money heard from Mr. Vanderbilt or Mr, Drew of an arrangement between them that Mr. Drew snould take this stuck; fe thought he heard about tt from Mr, Vanderoilt af one of the in- terviews, aud Mr. Vandervilt expressed a prefer. ence to deal with the company; he never heard of any arrangement between them except what the Commodore toid him, that there had been a negotia- tion; he did not think Smith, Gould and Martin kept any record of the numbers of the certificates re- ceived by them. In reply to Mr. i‘eld the witness stated that Drew's $540,000 were paid mto the trea- sury of the company, and that ON® GREAT INDUCEMENT FOR THE SETTLEMENT Was that there was to be peace and barmony be- tween the companies, and when the Belmont suit came out of the same ofice witness began to sus- pect bad faith; the bringing of the suit was un- @athorizea by the executive committee. —« Mr. James Fisk, Jr., was then placed on the stand and examined by Mr. Field, He testified in a loud aud confident tone, as follows: Q. Mr. Fisk, you are now a director of the Erie Raliway, I think? A. Yes, sir, Q. In 1868 were you a director? A. Yea. Q Had you an interview with Mr, Vanderbilt in the summer of 1863 in respect to any negotiations between him andthe company? A. | had an inter- view with him; I don’t remember the time precisely. Q Wul you state wuen the first mterview oc- curred as well as you can remember? A. In the spring or early part of ube summer, when we came back from Jersey; I was absent in Jersey City fora fapse of time—(iaughter)—I visited tue gentleman in company with sr. Goula, Q.

We went w his nouse, rang the door bell, were snown into THE RECEPTION ROOM BELOW STAIRS —(laugoter)—but were finally 1avited to the parlor ‘up stairs; Mr. Vanderbilt then sent for me to go inww is room, it was like the ante-rovin of his sleeping Spariment; we baa a conversation of about nalf an hour; that conversation was regarding the aettle- ment Of all the suits that had been in tigation during the winter, dnd the main part of the in- formation which he wanted to get from me— Mr. Beacnh—I object to that. Witness—He told me that all the directors of the Erie Ratiroad had tried to trade with him, and ne ‘Wished to ascertain who was the pruper man; [ said af the trade was good he could irade with me (laugh- he wold me I had as much power as any of ; ne said that tne oid man Drew was no better than batter butter; that Eldridge was demoralized, and that the affairs of the Erie Ratlroad had neither head nor tail—an opinion with which I agreed Gaughter); there was some other part of the conver- sation that I do not care to repeat; he told me that while we were im Jersey City every time that Mr. Drew could get out from under our eyes he sipped over to get the corporation to trade witn mim in id w get out of tue difficulties; Mr. Vanderbilt A GREAT DEAL OF TALKING about relieving nim of the stock ne had uninten- tionally bought; he wished to kuow from me self out tne corporation, and he said he was (ecgnert beat he was worn and thrown away Jrom bis ‘home and that he wanted to settle the Matters up, and that be bad been TALKING WITH THE COMMODORE, but did not seem to arrive at any satisfactory result; he said that they had got @ majority of the board, and that they could carry it through the board; Mr, Eldridge then took me and told what with great exertions on his part he had done to get the matter consummated; that there were only two dissentient voices—Gould and myself—and if we only could come into it to-morrow we would be free and clear from litigation, and everything would be all right; I told told him I could not see it and that it did not look Tight to me, SEVEN WEEKS WITH HIS CLOTHES ON, Becoming very determtned looking the witness continued:—I told him I had fought that position tor seven months, by night and by day, and that whie 1 was in Jersey City never took my clothes oif for seven weeks Co preserve the company’s money and to fight against paying out @ dollar of it, and that having fought the position then 1 would fight it now; Mr. Plerrepont then reasoned with me, but [ saw no reason why those persons were Joy the iruits of the $429,000; Mr. Goal nd I had & conversation, and not until twelve o’ciock at night did we give our consent; Mr. Drew came to me with tears in his eyes and asked me to consent and I consented. The witness then proceeded to detail his next meeting with Mr. Vanderbilt, saying that Gould accompanied him, as they never parted during the year; all bad" been arranged if it could be got through the poard; witness said trom what he had seen a few nighis before he thought anything Would go through; they talked about the trade at Pierrepont’s, which the Commodore knew all about; he seemed to think Scneil had got the lion’s share; Mr. Vanderbilt said he must consult Bancker and Stuart; he said we must put them in the board; that would strengthen the stoek; a day or two after- wards they called on him again; the arrangements were made without consulting bim; the Commodore toid him the arrangement; he said these ‘‘skunks,”’ he calied them, had thrown ail the high priced stocks on him; they were to bring him a million ana @ quarter of the Hartford and Erie bouds, two mil- lions and a hall to take up the stock, and @ million bonus for his losses, Suosequently witness made a tender to the Com. modore of 50,000 shares of stock; be said he would have to gee his counsel; ne said he had had nowy; to do with the Erie Company; witness demande back the money and the bonds; there were two sepa- rate demands; there was a@ separate demand for the million; they were at the same time; the stock lay out on the table as he made the tenaer and demands; the Erie Railway had, in his opinion, no need for the stock; witness was once to Mr, Vanderbilt's with Mr. Gould after the Belmont sults had been commenced; Mr, Gould told the Commodore he thought there was bad faith; that he controlled those suits, that he bad loaded this stock on them aud nad sold nis stock; ne denied he was tn it, say- ing that none of his counsel were in it; witness was surprised next morning to see Mr, O’Conor appear in it; when witness was at Pierreponv’s house he saw the cashier of the company came in with the check book under bis arm, Cros#-examined by Mr. Davis:— Q.

Upon being conveyed to the slation house in Thirtieth street he gave his name as Joho W. Fields and was recognized as a protes- sional pickpocket. While the prisoner was con- fined 1m the station house several parues cailed and reporied they had beer robbed 1n a similar manner, among Whom was Mrs. J. W. Dickinson, of Boston, who reports losing her wallet, containing twenty dollars; another lady one containing eiguty dollars, and two gentlemen Who tad paried with valuable gold watches, but were unabie to identify. the prisoner a3 having taken them. He was argaigned efore Justice Cox, at Jefferson Market, and w his intormai examimation stated that he resided in East ‘Twenty-seventh street and was by occupation a commission merchant and not guilty of the charge preferred against him.

Taurspay, March ory} It would seem that the speculative value of the Funding bill 1s not to be suffered to ve in abeyance, for the gold gamblers again employed it to great ad- vantage to-day. GOLD ACTIVE AND STRONG. The firmer tone of the foreign exchanges rendered the gold market strong in earlier transactions. The report that Secretary Koutwell had made @ speech to (but no impression upon) the Ways and Means Committee of the House in favor of the Funding bill rendered the market active, and gold advanced to 112%. Here came the story, next In turn, that Mr, Boutwell, un- successful with the committee, had gone before the House and was working most zealously for the bill, and, moreover, for the bill with its original features of foreign agencies, On this announcement gold re- acted to 112, The undertone of the market 1s tem- porarily very frm and encouraging to the specu- letors on the ‘bull’? side. The holders of gold paid three to five per cent fo have their balances carried. ‘The course of the market was as followa:— The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:—Gold cleared, $41,865,000; gold bal- ances, $1,209,884; currency balances, $1,472,592. STOCKS ACTIVE AND IRREGULAR, The stock market was fairly active in the leading Teatures, and steady, if not strong, for the general list. The early speculation again ran on Pacific Mail, which fell to 3254, but recovered to 33% on the report that the Senate Committee on Post Offices had agreed to a bill providing for doubling the mall facilities with China and granting the line an a tional subsidy of $1,000,000 per annum—a donation equivalent to five per cent yearly on the capi- tal stock. The Vanderbilt shares were barely steady, and Lake Shore and Rock Island firm. Erle again advanced to 2714 on the strength of the successful progress of the anti-Vanderbiit suit and the expectation of a repeal of the perpetual direc- tors’ bill. The weak spots were the St. Paul and Northwestern shares, The common of the former broke to 573%, aud the preferred to 713%. North- western preferred was especiaily weak and declined to 82%, while the common touched 7034. It seems that the Wisconsin Legislature has passed a law within a few days granting the present directors of Northwestern the privilege of classifying and stay- ing in office, as in the case of Erie, wnich has go dis- gusted the party who bought stock to control the road at the next election that they unloaded to the best advantage possible, since the knowledge came to their ears, the decline being assisted by the loss in receipts for last week. These were the prin- cipal features of the railway and miscellaneous list. In the mining shares Quicksilver was weak, and sold at 9 he following tabie of the hignest and lowest prices will assist to a comprehension of the market to-day:— .

The government market was strong and steady at an advance of about an eighth to a quarter per cent on yesterday's quotations, The best prices were about @ quarter per cent higher than last night’s closing prices, but with the reaction from 112% for gold the market closed quiet as follows:—United States currency sixes, 112%5 a 11254; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 114% @& 11434; do. do., coupon, 114% a 115; do. five-twenties, registered, May and Novem- ber, 1083{ a 109; do, do., 1862, coupon do., 110a 11044; do. do,, 1864, do, do., 109 & 1093¢: do. do., 1865, do, do., 10934 & 10914; do. ao., 1865, coupon, January and Joly, 108 a 1081;; do. do., 1867, do. do., 1094 & 10914; do. do., 1863, do. o., 109% a 10934; do. ten-forties, registered, 105% a 106; do. do., cou- pon, 105% a 106. SOUTHERN SECURITIES DULL. The Southern list was in general dull and steady. The Tennessees were heavy and lower.

The market was firm, but without special activity, at the higher range of quotations, which were a8 follows:—Steriing sixty days, commercial, 1074 & 107%; good to prime bankers’, 108 a 10834; short sight, 108‘ @ 108%; Paris, 60 days, 5.26% a 6.2244; snort sight, 5.2114 05.20; Antwerp, 5.2644 a 6.22433 Switzerland, 5.2614 a 5.22%; Hamburg, 3634 a 3 Amsterdam, 40 a 4095; Frankfort,40 @ 4034; Bremen, 773, 078; Prussian tnalers, 70 a 7034.
