trlct of Columbia anu attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
SIR :-Atler 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 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 modification of the laws reIat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, 80 to au-
thorlze the Post Office Department to contract foi
the perpetual use of Rail. Roads, and, instead OF
paying, now, quarterly on contracts for iour
years, to advance IN five per cent. bonds of the
United states, chargeabe upon the revenues OF
the Post Otias nsas~snsent,an amount the inte-
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II
payments now made.
The government now pays $500 per mile 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
num- the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, five 1000 bonds, bearing,an inte
rest of five per centum. A this rate the charge
upon the Department would be reduced from $500
TO $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will in a
fewyears, pay ofthe Bonds and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by elfec,ing vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department and
a consequent reduction of the rates Of postage
The effect will be no less advantage TO Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such contract would give to the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
~, 900 ,000 which would enable that complete its
road at early day, and greatly increase It's 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
pensaon, 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, to the details of the propos-
ed arrangement aud the best mode ofbrngng the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't.

greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United Staes,
make it matter Of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground. Such ambition is laudabe-is worthy of
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

more to them than the patented lands would be,
