THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1807. PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY. ADJOURNED MEETING YESTERDAY Pursrmiit to notice, an adjourned mpetinir of tbeBtooKiioideisof the Pennsylvania Rutlioari CorupHiiy wbs held ypstcrd-i, at 10 A.M., at Con cert Hull. Ihe -netting was called to order by his Honor the Mayor, who briefly mated the object lor which they had been called togelnor, as follows! . At the aunuBl meetlne or the stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, tt was resolved that committee of seven should be appointed tor the purpose of makine certain examinations and Investigations, and it was further resolved that they should report at au adjourned meetinir to be held this day. As chairman ot the annual mcetlncr, I was re quested to appoint that coTiraitiee, and in making the selection I exercised, as it was proper 1 should do, great care and circumspec tion; and as many of the pentlcmen whom I notified to serve upon it for various reasons eatlslactory to themselves declined to serve, it was not until a considerable time after the nieetina; to which 1 have referred had been held, that tbe committee was completed. But when it was completed, I think 1 may say that, taking into view the professional, com mercial, mercantile, manufacturing, and practi cal btisiuess skill of the men who composed it and the hi(?h character lor personal integrity which belongs to each and to nil of them, the stockholders will ieel that they have been fairly represented, and the community may accept the conclusions to which this committee have come with entire conhdence in their soundness. What tnop conclusions are i have not been ln lorn ed, but I am Informed that the committee are now prepared to present them to the meet ing. Alter the Secretary f-hall have read the minute of the former meeting, I will have the pleamie of calling upon the committee for their report. That committee, as finally appointed, consists of Colonel James Paare, Onalrman llenrv Winsor, Charles Wheeler, Alan Wood,' J. C. Dvts, William (J. Cresson, and Israel II. Johnson. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. Report of the Special Committee of Stock holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, appointed in accordance with a resolution adopted at the annual meeting, February 19, 1867: The undersigned, a Special Committee ap pointed in accordance with a resolution passed tit the last annual meeting of the Stockholders ol the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, for the purposes set forth in said resolution, have at tended to the duties assigned them, and do now submit the icllowing report of their proceedings and conclusions: Uuon the organization of the Committee, the Pretident of the Company was notitied of the lact, and he appointed trie following day for the commencement of our investigations, at which time -e met the President and a Committee of the Directors. . These officers expressed a willingness and desire to grant us every facility for the perform ance of our duties, and they and the fubordi nate officers of the Company have, in all ways and at all times, throughout this examina tion, aided and furthered the Committee in its work. The Committee, finding It convenient and proper so to do, will treat the subjects referred to them in the following order;. Hystem of dis crimination; free passes; private freight ex presses; report of tue Board of Directors; and the expediency of issuing more stock and of borrowing more money. First. Of the "system of Discrimination." We learn on inquiry that this Company has no such system; nor have we found any authenti cated case of discriminating between parties shipping freight under tbe same circumstances. At one of the sessions of our Committee we were informed tbat certain parties made accusations against this Compauy on this matter, and we at once invited them to come oefore tbe committee and prove their charges, but they declined or did not t-.ppear for that or any other purpose, and. the cliarees of the said parties are therefore unworthy of further notice. Charges of discrimination are in many cases based, as we believe, on mere suspicions; and in other cases they spring irom misapprehension ot circumstances which the parties maklug the charges do not understand. All experienced manaeers of transportation companies know that lair and equal rates are in the long run most productive to themselves and most satis factory to the public; and in the absence of all testimony to sustain charges of discrimination against this Railread Company, we cannot believe that its very able officers are guilty of a practice at variance with the well-established principles of the business over which they preside. becoud. In regard to Free Passes. Passes or thic kind are issued to some extent by the rail road companies of this country, and the issue within strict and narrow limits u lustitiable; but the practice, when carried beyond such limits, is improper and unlust. The granting of free passes to all the members of our City Coun cils is ot pcrtuciout tendency, and ouent to be abolirhed. That the issue of such passes has been heretofore too much extended by this Railroad Company is shown by the fact that the Directors themselves became aware of the evil; and on the 0th of January last, at a meeting of the Board, passed a resolution "to decline to issue tree passes, except for purely charitable purpofes, and such others as in the opinion ot the President may be absolutely required by the interests of the Company;" and we hope that the President will carry out this resolution in its lotloi- and finirit. Third.. Ot "Private Freight Expresses." TtiMo rp noexnreHses of the Kind, or with this titio nnthK rnudR of this companv: but there are ''Fast Freight Lines;" one on the Pennsyl- irwnttt Central Railroad, known as the "Union T.u,A " una another on the Philadelphia and Vrip rnlle d the "Em nire Line." both of them owned Dy Incorporated companies, and running to and from Western States. These lines own tbe cars used by tnem more than two thousand in number. Their averatre haul of each ton ol freight during the year 18ti6, without transshipment or breaking bulk, was tiPBrlv one thousand miles, and their cars ate ,,nt nnlsnvpr the Pennsvlvanla Central, but' over about four thousand five hundred ,1p i.i other roads, whose own equipment is aiin-tant. fo their ordinary business; and, therefore, the additional equipment fur nished bv these "Fast Linos" brings over the said roads to the Peonylvanla Central mucu fmiaht which it could not eet without auch .,,l.l,tiinnl frplpht mrs. . , .niummtji if the President and other nnr nf this Comoanv in regard to the said .riuoTi in answer to lnterroaotorles put by us have been fully conOrmed by a mass of testi- ZT..d m.io l .Pi7ilature.

Of the report of the Board of Direc tors, and of the expediency of lsstiine additional stock and borrowing more money : The finan cial part of our inquiry being of great Import ance, a sub-committee, composed of three mem bers of this committee, gave special attention to it and made a thorough examination of it. Tbis sub-committee (Messrs. Johnson, Davis, and Wheeler) vciitiod the cash account ot the Trea surer, the cash in bank, as appeared by the bank books, and on hand December 31, 1800, being equal to the balance in the hands of the Treasurer, as stilted In tho last annual report of the Director. Tbe same sub eommittee ehtered the Arc-proof vault, and carelullv examined and counted all the bonds, stocks, and other securi ties of the Company, and on Inquiry we learned from well-informed parlies that the value of tbe same is at this time greater than is eet lorth in said annual report. These securities pay In segregate an an nual Income of about ten per cvnt. on their cost; and for this, as well as lor other eood reason, we think it Important that tho Company should continue to hold them. Another sub-committee of three took in hand the original leases of all the railroads held by this Company, and read them, or the essential parts ot them, and made Inquiry about other matters in rccard to which it was thought information might be of importance. But the undersigned, omitting de tails of these and of other unimportant matters, which could lead to no useful results, will make the general statement that this investigation has disclosed nothing In any way at variance with tbe last annual report of the Directors, except only as regards the valuation of assets, of which an instance has been glveu above. The undersigned have been over the lands of the Company on the Delaware river at Green wich Point, where a large outlay of capital is required for wharves, storehouses, and other accommodations tor business, to make this valu able property useful and productive. In order to make our investigation of the ailalrs and property of tbe Compauy complete, we have passed over its main Hue from West Philadelphia to Pittsburg, stopping at the prin cipal stations, and examining the real estate, depots, machine shops, rolling stock, machiuery, and other equipments, as Well as the permanent way itself, and we tound the whole in excellent order and condition. The value ol the roflirg stock (which we could most readily estimate) is much greater than the amount which stands to the debit of equipment of road in the account on page 6 ot the last annual report; and we now say that in our investigations we have nowhere discovered a case of an overestimate of property, but have lound many items which, in the (udgtuent of this committee, are under 'estimated; and we have no doubt that the actual value of the aggregate assets of this Company is much ahove the sum of tli em as stated on said pas;e 6 of the report. The books and accounts of the office of the Company in Philadelphia, and at the other principal stations, wpre opened and laid belore us for Inspection and scrutiny. The system on which these accounts are kept is a very perfect one, and it is carried out with great accuracy in details and results, so far as we had time for examination great care being taken in every department, by checks and other wise, to correct errors and prevent frauds. At these offices, and on the road, we have had in tercourse with many ot the officers and em ployes of the Compauy, and we bear willing tes timony to the efficiency with which they pcrlorm their respective duties, and to the courtesy and intelligence which characterize all of them. At the conclusion of this report of our pro ceedings, we will say that our journey over the main line of this Company, and over the Western Pennsylvania and Bald Eagle Valley Railroads, and over portions of the Philadei- Ehia and Erie and Northern Central Railroads, as given us a knowledge ot the main hn, its large equipment and extensive connections, which we could have acquired in no other way so well, and has enabled us to understand and appreciate the policy of the President and Directors better than we otherwise could have done. This policy has for its objects the in crease of the commerce of our city and the development of the great resources of our State, as well as the promotion ot the direct interests of the shareholders of the Company; but unless ample pecuniary means are provided, this policy cannot be continued ami carried out to successful results, to meet the continually growing wants of our country. Believing that such means, if provided, will be so used as to conduce to the public eood of our alty and State, we do now recommend to tne shareholders ol this company the accept ance of the report ot the Directors, and the adoption of the resolution appended thereto. The undersigned, Having nnisnea tne wort committed to them, submit this report ot it to the stockholders, and ask to be discharged. (Signed) Israel it. Johnson, Henbt Windsor, John C. Davis, Alan Wood, William P. Cresson, Charlks Wueeler. Philadelphia, April 29, 1867. The resolution submitted by tbe Hon. Isaac Hazlehurst, accepting the act of the Legislature, approved March 22, 18C7, and authorizing the Board ot Directors to increase tbe capital from time to time, it accordance therewith, was adopted by the following stock vote: In favor of the resolution, 127,630 shares, representing $6,381,500, and against their adoption 2319 shares, representing ail5,5U.
