and interesting of the series. As much Of the
very best talent of the town win be brought
into requisition on that occasion, both for and

astray by either the adoption or rejection of the
measure, it win not be for the want of infor

from every quarter is being reflected upon it.

IR After consulting many persons interested in the
- principal Railroads in the United States, the under
signed propose to establish agencies in this city and in
New York. for the purpose Of collecting full and anthem
tic Railroad statistics and such other information will
enable them to persons desiring to invest in Rail-
securities procure information Of any matters
connected with the construction and administration Of
Railroads They also PROPOSE especially, to urge upon
Congress modification Of the laws relating TO contracts
for carrying the mall to authorize the Post Office
Department. to contract for the perpetual Of Railroads
and instead of paying now quarterly contracts for
four years. TO advance in five cent bonds the United
States chargeabe upon the OF the Post Office
Department, amount the interest upon which at per
cent. would equal the payments now made.
The Government now pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail irstclass Railroads. This is per cent
5000 The undersigned would urge that, instead of pay
ing $500 mile, anrum the Department should de-
liver, contract in perpetuy, five 81 900 bonds,
bearing interest of FIVE per centum. At this
charge upon the Department would be reduced from 1900
TO $3.50 mile, per annuu, and the $50 q mile saved
would create sinking fund, which WILL in few years,
pay off the bonds and give the Of such roads forever
thereafter free Of all charge; thereby eecting vast
saving the present annual expenditures OF the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction Of tbs
rates Of postage.
The effect will he no less advantageous to Railroad com
panes than TO the Government. For instance, such
contract would give to the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company more than S2OU0OO0, which would enable that
company TO complete its road at early day. and greatly
increase its business and profits.
But TO objections and impress the public mind
with proper Of the benefits TO result from this

active effort through the press and otherwise. The

propety Of your sending delegates to this

details OF the proposed arrangement and the best mode
bringing the subject before Congress.
