SIR later 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 modification of the laws relnt-
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so az to au-
the perpetual use of Rail. Roads, and, instead q
paying, NJ now, quarterly on contracts for -four
years, to advance in five per cent. bonds Of the
United States, chargeabls upon the revenues OF
the Post Office Departn,ent,an amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent. would equal Il 2
payments now made.
The government now pays 1900 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Railroads. This
is per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead of paying 5000 mile, per an
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 5000
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 ofsuch
roads forever thereafter, free Of all charge there
by effecting vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
u consequent reduction of the rates Of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous to Rail
Road Companies than to the government. Fol
instance, such contract would give to the Balt
more and Ohio Railroad Company more thar
So 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 actor
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 ofbrnging the
subject before Congress.
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con
venience, we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.
