BOBTON, June 29, 1870. : ble record in this department of Finance : At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Hannibal anc St. Joseph Hail- road Company, held thlB day, on motion of M. N. Thayer, seconded by Wm. H. i?fifsiiiiii Neilson. " Voted, That whereas the earnings of the Road for six months ending July 1st, 1870, arc sufllcicnt for the declaration of a dividend, all prior earnings having been applied to the improvement, maintenance and working of the road. That there be distributed to the holders of preferred stock of record July 3l6t, 1870, 7 percent, upon the amount of said stock, pavable August 15th, 1870, being the amount of preference to f which they are entitled for the year 1870, as per the provisions mit^"^ of the indenture of April 1st, 1863 : and that ttiere be paid i-T '-o' oj' o' o'oi^-^©^ •>*' «* trf eo' to the holders of the common stock of record July .3lBt, 1870, a divipend of 3>r percent., payable August 15th, 1870, for the six tr'nths ending July 1st, 1870": and that the earnings of the road for the remaining bIt first .,-. T- -r- months be upplitd M.»J 1 a£. 8SSS'gS'555gS3?P to pay the further dividend of 'i}i per ccni. on said common stock, and that the books be closed from the Ist to the 16th day of August, 1870, inclusive. " By order of the Board of Directors, 8. s t « lo s 5 R. Watbok, Treasurer." It is objected to the dividend thus declared that it is not in con- -»'c?r formity with the terms of the indenture or deed of trust creating 5B!ai i the preferred stock, the words of which are as follows :

And said Corporation covenants and agrees that said preferred stock shall be entitled to a dividend of seven per cent, from the net earnings of said road, in each year, whenever a dividend of said net earnings shall be made, before any ii'i'§i'§i¥§i'i'g' dividend shall be declared upon other unpreferred shares of the said Corpora- sag K S S S'S S'''?! s tion. And to an equal dividend with said other shares, in the net enmings of said Corporation, be/ond said seven per cent,, but shall at no time be entitled to an accumulated dividend (in case a dividend shall fail to be made in any one or more years, or, if made, be insufficient to pay said seven per cent) in any subsequent division of said net earnings, but shall be entitled only, in that event, to said seven per cent and to share in the surplus earnings as aforesaid ; ^•- >fi«»oi-t- — *t-^it-5»t- and furthur said Corporation covenants and agrees that dividends of said ne» earnings shall be made at least annually, if the profits of the Corporation will permit, after applying such sums as shall be fotind proper to. maintain the roau and provide for working the same to the best advantage.

jE-O-vOiHtoipf-t A further objection is made that the dividends are not declared for the fiscal year, whijh has always terminated August Slst, and e issi S 5 |i2gWs«YppS£ that as the preferred stock is first entitled to seren per cent, per annum, the termination of the year is Important. ft A third objection is made that while the dividend, amounting 1 !ill;;l; to $552,489, was declared out of earnings for the six months ending 3* P2 ft iiiiiiiii Jxdy 1st, 1870, the net earnings for the whole year ending August •a* oT 31st, 1870, as shown by the annual report were only $268,398. Seconal—In the second place, Mr. Bailey criticises the manage- I isiiiiiggiii ment of the company's affairs, and charges, substantially, that the directors have not shown integrity in their official position, but o *£ •» have really been working the road for the benefit of other connecting lines in which they have a greater interest. In support of I, I this position it is alleged that five directors, constituting a con- trolling majority of the board, held altogether (as shown by the stock registers at the election) only 121 shares of stock out of

92,031 shares, the total capital ; that the building of the Kansas City and Cameron branch and the Quincy and Palmyra railroads

were bad investments for the Hannibal and St. Joseph company ; that the stock and debts of the latter have been largely and un-

necessarily increased between 1863 and 1870 ; and in short, that the road has been managed with a deliberate purpos*

on the part of the directors of making it subsidiary to other lines in which they are more largely interested. In regard to the power to issue stock, the following law is

quoted from the statutes of Missouri, approved March 4, 1869 :
