We would call the attention OF all persons interested in
railroads land who is not y TO the circular OF the Messrs
Green and Clarke, which will be found below The
Railroad Journal OF the 25h October, speaking OF this
circular. says:
GEN GREsNs cIRcuLAR--We call the attention OF edi-
tors of newspapers throughout The country TO The meas
ue roosed in the circular addressed ny Messrs Green
ard Clarke (Which will be found below TO the pres'-
dents OF the railroad companies in the United States.
We venture toexptess hope that the proposed con.
veton oil delegates will be fully represented BY The abesl
and experienced persons who be selected Tor
other matters than presented by the circular mag be prop
erly brought under the consideration Of such body.
The railroad interest il moi now, Is destined soon 70 be-
the most important, IL not the most influential, IN
the country; and the proposed in this ccu-
lar il accomplished will greatly augment the available
in railroads. and thus extend the system into sec.
lions oil The country where lew now believe railroad
can be made.
Gen Green who has g,vea much time and reflection
to the details OF the change Of the mode Of contracts pro-
posed argues that the saving will be sixth OF the
pendture under the presen, sys'em and that saving
will be applied 10 the liquidation oil the principal in
compound ratio, the effect will be discharge The prnc-
pal in few years, and thus give the OF all the rail
roads in the United States TO the government without
charge He urges further that the change will give III
existing raroad companies nearly forty millions OF dollars
in lieu OF their present compensation and that this
will be as much creation OF that much capital il it
effect will enable companies pay off their present indebt
edness and to declare large dividends and thus make the
entire fund now invested in railroads available for all the
uses OF capal-,hus adding many millions of dollars
He illustrates this by reference to many roads. but
especially 10 The roads in the South and West EJr
pis tho Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company
have now for the Rrat time declared dividend Of Mrse
per cent The effect has been 10 put their shares, which
had been seing at from three TO ten dollars per share, up
upwards Of eight hundred thousand dollars, and enable
them 10 pay or their entire debt and hereafter 10 pay
very large dividends This would add more than one mil.
