Sra :-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 Rail- Road securities,
or to procure information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration Of Raj!
Roads. They also propose, especially, TO urge
upon Congress a modification Of the laws relat-
ing 10 contracts for carrying the mail, 80 az to nu.
thorize the Post Office Department TO contract for
the perpetual use Of Rail. Roads, and, instead q
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for fot,
years, TO advance in FIVE per cent. bonds Of the
United Suites, chargeable upon the revenues ~
the Post Office Departmeut,ar amount, the int.
rest upon which at per cent. would equal u 2
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile fer
carrying the mail on FIRST class Railroads This
Is q per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead Of paying $500 a mile, per arr
mum, the Department ,hould deliver, on acontract
u perpetuity, FIVE 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of five per centuu. Az this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from 1900
To $3.50 mile, per anuum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears, pay ofthe Bonds aud give the use ofmcb
roade forever thereafter fec Of all charge there
by elfecting a vast saving on the present annual
expenditures Of the Pc Office Department, aud
a consequent reduction Of the rates of postage
The effect viii be no lefe advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to tle government For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
A., 600 900, which would snnble that complete lis
road at an early day, and greatly increase its busi-
ness and profits. -
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with a proper sense Of the benefits 10 result
from this measure will require concert OF action
aud continued active effort, through the press md
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 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 ofbrineins the
subject before Congress.
Hoping TO hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi servt.
