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 ~ 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 az to au-
thorizs the Post Office Department to contract fol-
the perpetual use Of Rail- Roads, and, instead Of
years, 70 advance ip FIVE per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeabls upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Department,an amount, the int.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II E
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000 The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
rest Of five per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to 1850 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in
fewyears pay otthe Bonds and give the use ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effsoting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Po 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 q contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
SO 900 900, which would enable that complete it's
road at an early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness 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 to
this city, on the 6rst "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail-
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and tho best mode ofbrngng the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con-
venence, we are, respectfully, your obi ssrv't.
