we cannot fail to regard this paper of the MAYOR,
as in the highest degree Objectionable. Our city
is clearly entitled to the benefit, as we'll as dis
tincton of having the cheapest passenger railway
system in the world if some of her shrewdest and
most reliable men are willing to provide one for
her; and the assumption on the MAYORS part,
that these gentlemen do not know what they are
about, might create smile for its absurdty, if it
did not provoke indignation for its presumption.
1t will be perceived, by our report of the pro-
ceedings of the Council, that bill, based on the
MAYORS suggestions, has been hurried through
the First Branch, and it will probably pass the
Second with similar speed. Mr.. SWAMI will I'M
doubtedly cooperate" with it, and thenwe
shall probably learn whether the City has
overstepped its powers in doing what it has
done. The beginning of the end will then COM
mence, and the question, it is likely, will have to
be settled by the next Legislature of Maryland.
Whenever City Passenger Railway system shall
be legally enacted and put into operation, we are
prepared TO say that we have no sort of objection
that such portion of the city revenue as may be
derived from the taxation imposed thereon, shall
be set apart for the construction of Park and the
Boulevards as suggested, we think, originally by
Mr. MONTAGUE in the Council, and now recommend
ed by the MAYOR We admit that there is some
propriety in imposing on that easement, which
practically brings the heart of the city so near to
the country-a part of the burden of that improve
ment which will place portion of the country
near the heart of the city. But great as is our
desire for public grounds and drives we see no
reason why they should be made the stalking
horse TO cover piece of manifest favoritism and
Injustice

EILLING Up TILE BASIN

To the Editors of the Erchdnge:
committee of the City Council has been raised
for the purpose of inquiring and reporting upon
the feasibility and expedency of filling up the
Basin and Docks lying west of Jones Falls. In
the execution of this duty, they have thought FRO
per to put out general circular, inviting all per-
sons who take any interest in the project to commu
nicate such facts and arguments as they may sup
pose entitled to weight in the determination of the
question.
One would suppose that such a course as this is
satisfactory mode of arriving at the public
Judgment as could be resorted to- and that it fur
nishes complete guarantee of the good faith of
the Committee. 1t is understood, further, that
measures are foot to have the subject thoroughly
investigated in all its bearings, by surveyors, en-
gineers physicians and men of science most compe-
tent to make up an enlightened opinion upon a
question which can only be understood under the
light furnished by such an investigation.
| perceive, however, from The Exchange of yes
terday, that one of the opponents of this sch eme
is quite unwilling that any consideration shall be
given to it. He denounces it as ga scheme too ri
diculous to merit second thought" and speaks of
those who would have it looked into, and its merits
properly examined, as "madmen" engaged in a
'crusade against every conceivable interest of Bal
more-commercial, sanitary or otherwise"
1t is thing for any improvement of impor-
lance to meet with the opposition of the interested,
the selfish, and the narrow minded. No Railroad
would ever have been built-no labor-saving ma
chine patented-no telegraph ever allowed to man.
ifest its wonders-if such people as would stife
this great project had been allowed their sway. The
friends of the proposed Improvement of the harbor
of Baltimore desire nothing but that its merits be
fairly tested by that course of examination which
alone is adequate to establish the benefits to be de-
rived from it and the objections to which it is just
lv obnoxious. To this end instead of listening to
the interested appeals of such shallow persons as
your correspondent ", they trust that the public
will await the Investigations and report of the Com
mittee of the Council, when they shall have been
fullv matured. Y.

The Proprietors of THE EXCHANGE propose,
in addition to their present issues, to pub
lish Monthly Advertising Supplement to be
sent gratuitously to the business men of the West
and South. In addition to the advertisements,
each issue will contain articles setting forth
the advantages of this city as commercial centre
for the supply of the interior and embracing stats-
tics of its business, population, capital, trade,
manufactures, railroad anG water communications,
educational and other public Institutions
Having made arrangements which place at
their command the names of all the business men
in the quarters indicated, they think it must be OBJ
vious that no such channel of communication, with
so great number of customers, has ever been
offered to the advertisers of this city. They
propose to defray the whole expense of pub
LEGATION by a proper charge for the in
sertion of advertisements, and int end at early
day to issue prospectus setting forth the partcu-
lars of their intended enterprise and the terms on
which advertisements will be received, which will
be very moderate compared with the advantages
presented.

THE MAYOR'S VETO.

To the Editors Of the Exchange:
The MAYORS veto message is literary and To-
gcal curiosty-or, rather, literary curiosity and
a logical absurdity. Divested of the crinoine and
hustle which, it must be admitted, have faithfully
discharged their function of swelling out pain
fully meagre figure into imposing proportions the
substance of the message might have been set FORTH
and that without elaborate compression, in many
lines as it has occupied paragraphs.
The Mayor is in favor of city railroads. The ON
nbus system, he thinks, was good; the railroad
system, he thinks, is better. To the two ordinances
before the Council-the Brooks and the Travers
bills-the first imposing charge of three, the
ond of four cents per passenger, his only objection
is the apprehension that those rates will not be
sufficiently remunerative, and of the two, there
fore, he prefers the Travers bill But being still
not entirely satisfied in this particular, he looks
anxiously about for effective remedy. This re-
medy he discovers and announces-not without
subdued flourish of trumpets. The remedy is, that
each passenger in addition to the four cents to be
paid to the railroad company, shall pay one cent to
the city. The Mayor says that this provision
would "effectually guard against and miscal
EQUATIONS in the offers submitted for your accept
canoe, by adopting rate for the transportation of
'passengers which could not fail to ensure success,
"because it is the standard adopted upon similar
"enterprises in other cities" Now, what all this
means, and by what logical process the Mayor ar
rives at the conclusion that while, with charge
of four cents, the proposed railroad system may
not be able to sustain itself, yet by exacting one
cent more, to be paid, not to the company, but to
the city, the of the system could not fail to
be ensured, none, perhaps, but the author himself
of the message will be able to explain.
Another singular advantage of the Mayors plar
is pointed out by hin, namely: that sit leaves with
''the city the power to reduce the passenger fare
"upon her railroads at future day. should the peo
'spe determine;' that is to say, advantage is ia
ken of the general feeling of the necessity of city
railroads to lug in and log-roll with the railroad
bill provision, oppressive and partial in its action
for public Park, and the Mayor consoles those
who are to pay the tax by telling them that the ia,
may be repealed at some future day, should thu
people so determine. The Mayor was called upol
to sanction or veto the railroad bill. Those only
who look to his ncorrupt character as politician
will be disposed to exonerate him entirely from re
proach for mixing up with the bill matter so ex
traneous to it. A CITIZEN.

We think that in his Message vetong the TRAY
Frs City Railway Bill, Mr.. SWAMI has contrived to
astonish everybody. Some persons supposed that
party considerations might induce him to approve
of the measure, and Others thought that mani
fest considerations of public interest would COM
pei him to disapprove of it, in view of the fact
that a more responsible association had offered
guarantees to perform greater service at three
fourhs the price; but that he would veto the bill on
the ground that the fare was too low and then sug
gest plan, which, SO far as the railway proprie-
tors are concerned, leaves them just where the one
proposed by the Council places them is pitch OF
absurdity clearly beyond the previous Imagination
of anybody. The MAYOR evidently proposes to be
guided by the light of experience, and inasmuch as
no city has yet adopted less than half dime fare,
he considers it absolutely essential that this amount
should be exacted from passengers here; it being
wholly immaterial whether the odd cent goes to the
company to the city. Messrs. Brooks Co.

The Mayor in his veto of the City Passenger
Railroad Bill, desires that the said Bill be so
amended as that no person shall be permitted to
take ride until a cent be first panked down a
Park tax. Well, Sirs, fine Park as contemplated
would be good thing for our city, but the Mayor
method of securing it, is, to my mind, very objec-
tionable What class of our citizens will be most
likely to use the City Railroad? The working or
poorer classesof course Consequently, those least
able to pay will be the parties that the Mayor
would tax in order to have a splendid Park, and a
grand avenue where upper ten dom might and
would dash along with their fast horses and luxu-
rious equpages throwing dust in the faces of their
poorer fellow-citzens. say, by all proper means,
let have the Park and the Avenue but do not let
us require that of their cost shall come
out of the pockets of the poorly paid hard working
portion of our citizens would be the case if the
Mayors recommendation be adopted.
