Sra :-Aiter consulting many persons interested in
the principal Rail Roads in ~ United States, the
undersigned propose to establi4h agencies in this
city and in New York, for hepurpose 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 reIat
ing to contracts for carrying the mail as to au
thorze the Post Office Department to contract TO-
the perpetual use of Rail. Roads, and, instead al
paying. now, quarterly on contracts for forl
years, 10 advance in five pei cent. bonds of ths
United States, chargeable up0a the revenues OF
the Post Office Departmentan amount, the int
rest upon which at per csat- would equal II
| payments now made. -.
The government now pays $500 per mile fer
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
mum, the Department should deliver, on acontract
n perpetuity, 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 pay ofhe Bonds and give the use of such
roads forever thereafter, free of all charge there
| by effecting vast saving the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
a consequent reduction Of the rates or 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
81, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at 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-
prety 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 Infringing the
subject before Congress.
