SIR '-Atter consulting many persons interested in
the principal kaii- Roads in the United States, the
undersigned propose to establish agencies IN this
city and IN New York, for the purpose of col ect-
ing full and authentic Rai-Rosd statistics and
such other information will enable them u serve
persons desiring to Invest in Rail Road securii,es
or TO procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Raj
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urgs
upon Congress "A modification of the laws reiat
ns 10 contracts for carrying the mail so as TO au-
thorize the Pos; Office Department 20 contract fcr
the perpetual use of Rail. Roads, and, instead a
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fot,
years, 10 advance ~ five per cent. binds Of the
United States, chargeabIe upon tho reven ss Of
the Post Office Department,an amount, the inte-
rest upon which at per cent. would eqG III ,
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mi. fer
carrying the mail on first class Rail Roads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
nam, the Department. should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity five 81, 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest of FIVE per centum. At this rate the chaiss
upon the Department would be reduced from 1910
to $3.50 a mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create a sinking fund which will, IN
fewyearsp oitihe Bonds, and give the use ofnuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
Ivy eifectng vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, ANA
u consequent reduction of the rates OF postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous 10 Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance such contract would give 30 he Balti-
more and Ohio Rail- Road Company more han
80, 900, 600, Which woaId enable that complete its
road az rn eAriy day, sid greatly increase us BUSH
ness and protiia. a4l
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind With proper sense Of the benefits to result
frcm lbis measure will require concert Of action
aud continued active effort, through the press md
ntherw,se. The undersigned tender their services
I, vour Company, expecting reasonable COM
,ensa lou, partly contingent upon the success or
he measure; and respectfully suggest the pro-
,rety of your sending one or more delegates to
his city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, TO confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, az to the details of the propos-
ed arrangement and the beat mode ofbrngng the
! subject before Congress.

venence, we are, respectfully. your obi serv't.
