DRACTlCE in lns Supreme Court of
II United States, and In the Courts oflhe Dis
trict of Columbia anu attend promptly to all
claims against the United States, or Foreign Gov
ernments.
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 as 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 Raj.
Roads. They also propose, especially, to urge
upon Congress a modification of the laws relat-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail to
thorze the Post Office Department to contract fo'
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead CT
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for -four
| years, to advance in five per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmental 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 Railroads. This
4 is per cent. on $1,000. Thelnndersgned would
urge that, instead Of paying $3.50 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontrac
n perpetuity five 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest OF five per centum. At this rate the chargs
upon the Department would be reduced from $30t
to $3.50 mile, per annum, ana the SaU per mli'
saved would create sinking fund which will, in .
fewyears pay otthe Bonds ,and give theuse ofsucl
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annua
4 expenditures of the Pc Office Department, an.
a consequent reduction of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. Fo
instance, such contract would give to the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thai
a., 900 900, which would enable that complete il
road at early day, and greatly increase its bust
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the publ
mind with proper sense of the benefits to resu
from this measure will require concert OF actio
and continued active effort, through the press AN
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
prety Of your sending one or more delegates Il
this city, ON the first Wednesday in Decembe
next. to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos
ed arrang ement and the best mode ofbringing tn
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obi serv't
