Sra s-After consulting many persons interested in
the principal Railroads 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 siatistics and
such other information as will enable them 10 serve
persons desiring 10 invest in Rail- Road securities
or to procure Information ofany matters connected
with the construction and administration Of Rail
Roads. They also propose, especially To r,rye
upon Congress modification Of the laws reJet-
ing TO contracts for carrying the mail 70 as 20 su
thorize the Post Office Department TO contract 70,
the perpetual use OF si-Rosds, and, instead e
paying, ss now, quarterly on contracts for fou,
years, 70 advance IN Eve per cent. bonds Of m.
United Suites, chargeable upon the revenues on
the Post Office Departmentnn amount, the nts
rest upon which at per cent would equal N >
payments now made
The government now pays $500 per mile for
carrying the mail on FIRST class Rail- Roads. This
Is per cent. on IS 900. The UNDERSIGNED ,pould
urge that, instead Of paying $500 mile. DER an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontr.et
perpetuity, Eve $1,000 bonds, bearing an int
rest OF FIVE per centnm. Al this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from S3ip0
10 $3.50 a mile, per annum. and the $50 Der mile
saved would create "a sinking fund which WILL in
fewyears,p pay ofthe Bonds and give theuss ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by efecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures Of the Pc Office Department. and
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
$4,000, 900, which would enable that completes ia
road at an early day, and greatly increase lis bush
ness and profits. 5
