The Chatham Base Ball Club opened play yesterday by playing a strong field nine on th grounds (Ely- sian Fields) at Hoboken. 18 to 0 in tavor of the Chatham Base Ball Club, NEW YORK CALEDONIAN CLUB. For some time past the members of the New York Caledonian Club have been considering the advisability of obtaining a club bouse of their own, as thoir quar- tera at No. 118 Sulli Street are too limited, A com- Mittee. consisting of James Anderson, J. L,.Smith and J. Lesiie has just been appointed to purchase a suitablo butiding for ueo as a cipb house, A DISPUTED CHARTER. MARYLAND'S LITIGATION AGAINST THE SOLIDATION COAL COMPANY, Investigation is now being made into the history of A prominent corporation whose shares are daily quoted at the New York Stock Exchange, and the indications are that the charter was obtained by fraud. in that case the hundreds of thousands of persons who bought small amounts of stock, In the belief that their Habihty was limited tothe sum they held, will find that the concern was really nothing more than a partnership, and that each one of them is responsible to bis last dollar for the liabilities of the company. The corpora+ tion referred to is the Consolidation Coal Company. One month ago its stock was selling in tho neighbor- hood of fifty, which was considered very low fora fvo per cent stock with such an eminently respectable board of directors, The stock has since rapidly de- clined, and sold yesterday for forty, Tho cause of this decline is traced to the action of the last session of the Maryland Legislature in reducing the tolls on coal over the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad one cent per ton per mile, The company had been for: years using this railroad for transporting tts coal, but it then became known for the first time that it owned it, The road in question had been charging the high rate of four cents por mile for the transportation of coal. This fact was brought to the notice of the Legisiature of Maryland, as con- trary to the law of 1868 reducing the rates, and on the Uth of March last an amendment was made te the charter of the road in question reducing its rates to four cents a ton per mile for a distance of four miles and less, three cents per mile for a distance of more than four and less than ten miles, and two cents per mile for more than ten miles, The company were to furnish transportation for coal for the local trade; to CON- | | furniste cars and use them as they would their own in | | ali particulars as to fates, despatch, locomotives and the like, This amendment was further amended so that ifthe Cumberland Rajlroad did not comply with these conditions any other corporation might own their own locomotives and transport coal in their own cars at the new and lower rates, The Consolidation Coal Company thereupon '0- duced a deed showing that it owned the Cumberland Rajlroad, and claimed the right to charge four cents per ton per mile, according to its own original eharter. | A | petition was then presented to the Governor of Mary- jand asking that the Attorney General should be in- } structed to inquire into the validity of the transfer of | the ratiroad and tho legality of 14 adhering to its old | rates of tolls. Avery bitter fight was instituted bes (ween the company and the taependent mining \nter= ests, The managers of the Iatter claimed th: reduc. tion of rates was imperatively necessary to enable them to continue to work their mines with profit, and it is | said that work was actually stopped in several mines in | consequence of the atieged extostionate rates. | Those parties who opposed the Consolidation Coal Company furnish from the last annual roport of that ody a good reason for tts disregard of the injunctions of the bill requiring a reduction of the rates. The com- ny paid adividend September 15, 1875, of $256,250, it mined and delivered trom ive own mines in 1873 448,23 tons of co: decrease of over 15,000 tons of coal as compared with the previous year, They trans. rted over the Cumberiand and Pennsylvania road im 7 1,971,764 tons of coal, and on the Cumberland branch 216.670 tons, making altogether 2,485,436 tons | of coal over its railroads. Now, as it mined only 445,023 Lona, Its ratiroads carried 1,740,000 tons of coal | mined by other companies. Thoretore, they say, it | can be roadily seen whence the bulk ot the company’s | earnings t derived, and why it beeame vitally neces. ¥ for it to preserve the old rato if possivie, A te. ction in accordance with the terms of the bill passed by the Legisiature on the rates of coal not only wipes out all surplus, earnings whatever, but, it may be readily inferred, the company tiself The Cumberland and Pennxylvania Railroad comprises altogether about | thirty-eighit miles of road, and for dividend-paying pur- poses the Consolidation Coal Company, it is claimed, might be conektered we the Cumberland and | Pennsylvania Ratiroad, Tr ccmreay has a capital of 10,225,000, and {ts total funded debt amounts to $2,982,500, } AN ASTOUNDING STATEMENT, ‘The Legislature was appealed to against the alleged | tyranny ofthe Consolidation Company aud, tn response, it adopted an amendment to the general rairoad iaw, authorizing the Governor to instruct the Attorney Gen- 1 10 insuitute quo warranto procecdings immedi ately any infraction of tne railroad law should be brought to bis notice, In accordance with this amends ment the Governor of Maryland las. w nstructed Attorney General Gwynne to proce solidation Coal Company, to decide the legality of thi sale to the Inter body of the Cumberiand and Penn \ sylvania Retiroad, Of course all this contention and Nitigation led to a rigid exam imation of the charters of the two companies, and {t 18 Clauned oy the oppenents of the Consolidation Coal Company that the charter of the Jatter was obtamed by fraud ana jiorgery, The | charge originated, so (at as the writer could asvertain, i g the last Me.

THR COMPANY'S VERSION, Mr. Allan Campbell, Commissioner of Public Works, is President of the Consolidation Coal Company. & Hexav reporter waited on him yesterday in regard to the difticulttes with the Legisiature of the Stato of nd, and had a frank and full explanation. 8, wo have in prospect a suit with the State of Maryland, and every indication 1s that the Atiorney General will commence proceedings, or has already done so, with a view of forcing the Consolidation Coal Company into the payment of rates and penalties greater than they have any right to exact under the terns and provisions of our charter. The history of —Wo recieved our certill- ‘and thero is no deiect in it what- w; We have paid our taxes and Ftate properly, and { have never heard any claim put forth by any one that our charter wos bozus orimproperly procured, There area good many bears in | Wall street Just now, and it sounds a great deal like | their talk, But toresume: The organizers of the com- pany wore such gentlemen as William H. Aspinwall, and among our directors now we number William BM. Evarts, W. H. Neilson, ex-President of the Stock Ex- change, and others alinost equally well known, We held our regular monthly meeting to-day at the office, and nothing whatever was said about an imperfect charter, When, tn 1868, the State, in the interest of the Chesapenke'and Ohio canal, which they part ally owned, passed a discriminating’ law against the Con- solidation company, by which it assumed the Stal bad the right 10 reguiate the rates we should charg iu carrying coal. 1 toid Senator Carroll, now Governor of Maryland, that it Was most oppressive aud unjust; in fact, it was the only Granger law ever passed in the East, and worse than those of Wisconsin, At the time the Consolidation Coal Company was operating the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad, avout thirty-four miles in length, and controlled a majority of ite stock, [was lrosident of both corpo- trons. [t was determined to sell the railroad, with all {ts rights, franchises and privileges to the coal coms pony. This was done, and the rutirond operated en- tirely under the management of the former corpora- uon, In making contracts tor serving the other com: panics with whom we did business we charged them regutar rates, and they paid these rates, ahd still ¢o, under protest, we agrecing to defend them against any State claim, Thus the cage now stands, We Rave a good detence, we think, under the liberal provisions ot oue charter, Which gives us the right to mine and carry coal; to build, bay, | oF operate railroads; itis, in fine, of the most Ifberal character, We shal the company is briefly thi: cato in 1860 regularly, ever as far a Gamuie —At Morristown, N.
