nRACTlCE in the Supreme Court Of
IL United States, ana in the Courts ofthe Ds
trict Of Columbia; anu attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
Sin 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 Rail Road statistics and
such other information as will enable them to serve
persons desiring to invest in Rail- Road securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration of Rat
Roads They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, US to au-
thorizs the Post Office Department to contract fol
the perpetual use Of Railroads, and, instead a
paying, rs now, quarterly on contracts for foM
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental amount the int.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il e
payments now made.
The government now pays 5000 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Ra-Roaus. Ths
is per cent. on $4,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five al 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest Of FIVE per centum. At this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $25Oa mile, per annum, and the &5U per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears pay oithe Bonds, and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
| by effectng u vast saving on the present annual
ex penditures Of the Pc Office Department, and
Il 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 a contract would give to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company thar
50 900 900, which would enable that complete iii
road at early day. and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
i But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert OF actor
and continued active effort, through the press ant
otherwise. The undersigned tender their service.
to your Company, expecting reasonable com
pensation, partly contingent upon the success o
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro
priety of your sending one or more delegates tt
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 th'
subject before Congress.
/ Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venence, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

Msryland state Agricultural Society.
A PPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
~ STATE AGRICULTURAL SocIETY.--We desire
that YOU should bear in mind, that ON the 23d
Oath, and 25th days Of October, your Society will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair at the city %
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one anu all, TO
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your STOCK
the products Of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
NAV own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t Is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for YOU to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, if not better than that OF others, ana
that it behooves you to CALAMITY enter the st o.
competiton; if defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the judges is a guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY
he luxury of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
lciues and daughters to 6rins whatever appeau,mS
TO their peculiar departments, as embro'dery rouse
hold manufactures; the proartts Of the DAIRY ana
the poultry yard, preserves. domestic ZONES, co9ec-
fions and above all things, to come themselves as
,cthous ,oonsan, and the beautiful celebrations o. hs'
aste and genius, display can DC perfect.
To the Manufacturers Of agricultural implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest ana Patri'
otism both combine to enjoin upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advices'
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
srs and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Unlon' VIII be
Greater than upon any former occasion here or
Elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United STATES
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other IN
hlfing the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabie-s worthy o.
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart. -

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House of Representatives. ofthe
United States in Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sth Of September, 1885, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them the
expense of agencies and taxes will be ANNUAL
charge reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaIists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligen, and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands asslgnabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.
