Sir AFTER consulting many persons Interested in
the principal ail-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 modification of the laws reat
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, as to au
the perpetual use Of Rail Roads, and, instead Of
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foI,
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Department, IAN amount, the inte
rest upon which ut & per cent. would equal II :
payments now made. .
The government now pays 5000 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is 6 per cent. on S5, 900. The undersigned would
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuty, FIVE 81 900 bonds, bearing an inte
rest Of five per centum. At 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, offthe Bonds and give the use ofauch
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
by effecting 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
g. 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at an early day, and greatly increase its 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.
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 ofbringing the
subject before Congress. .
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your obt serv't.
