claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov

SIR :-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail Roads in the United States, the
undersigned propose to establish agencies In this
city and in New York, for the purpose Of collect
ing full and authentic RAILROAD statistics and
such other information as will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in Railroad securities,
or TO procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification OF the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so as TO au
thorze the Post Office Department to contract fol
the perpetual use of Rail. Roads, and, instead Ct
paving, rs now, quarterly on contracts for foul
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds Of tn.
United States, chargeable upon the revenues o.
the Post Office Departmental amount, the Inte
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile FL
carving the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 per cent on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on aconiract
perpetuity, five III 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of FIVE per centum. AT this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
.<,)U ~
saved would create sinking fund which will in a
ewyears pay offthe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by ehecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction of the rates Of postage
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
AZ, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at an early day and greatly increase its bust
nes. and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert OF action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety Of your sending one or more delegates tG
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing tn,
subject before Congress.
Should it be your pleasure to accept OF oul
services in this matter, we will promptly attend
to all other business, which you, or your Com
pany, may have with the Post Office Department
or other branch Of the government.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con-
venience we are, respectfully, your obi serv't

One story's Good til Another Is Told.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

There g maxim that all should be willing to mind
Ills an old one-a kind one, and true as tits kind;
'ris worthy of notice wherever you roam,
And no worse for.the heart, if remembered at home!
If scandal or censure be raised igainst friend,
BE the last to believe 1.-THE first to defend
Say to morrow will come md then time will unfold
That some storys good till another is told"
A friend's like ship, when with music and song
The tide Of good fortune still speeds him along,
But see him when tempest hath left him Il wreck,
And any mean billov can batter his deck,
But give me the heart that sympathy shows,
And clngs to a messmate, whatever wind blows
And says-when a,persion, unanswered, grows
cold.
Wait-"one story good till another is told.
