The DAILY EXCHANGE enters, with this issue,
upon the second year of its existence and while
we cannot 1atter ourselves that any of our readers
will participate in our own feelings on the occa-
sion, it is, nevertheless, due to those who have
manifested, so literally, their disposition to sup
port us, that we should make proper acknowledge
ment of their past kindness, and renew the pledges
for our future conduct, which we gave at the in
ception of our enterprise. When we say that we
have succeeded, in twelve months, in placing our
journal upon sure and permanent foundation,
we but state a fact, which must be apparent to
every one who is familiar with our progress and
which, while especially gratifying to us
In its pecuniary aspect, furnishes, also, the most
positive evidence of the favor with which this
community has looked upon our editorial career
We have, it is true, met with oppositon-and our
earnest and, we hope, not unavailing efforts to
promote the cause Of law and order, and good
government in our city, have been attributed, by
some to partisan hate and political anmosty; but
we have survived these denunciations, and have
the satisfaction of knowing that the sincerity of
our motives and the independence of our position
are now very generally understood and appreciated
With this apology, then, to our readers, for thus
obtruding upon them a matter so purely personal
to ou selves, we only repeat our firm and I'M
alterable determination to pursue, hereafter,
course to which the experience we have gained
stimulates us to adhere.

Another question which suggests itself is what has
been the remuneration received by these gentlemen for
their years of ncessant toll Have they grown rich

magnificent fortunes have been realized, but on
the contrary they have realized but small profits The

proposes a cast-ron sub-rail, with foundations
below the frost, surmounted by rolled iron coping

track to be connected together by iron ties Prov-
sion made for due elasticity in the track by wooden
bearings below the surface, and out of the reach
OF decay, and by gutta-percha between the wrought
and cast-iron. As we have intimated, we design
to express no further opinion on this plan, than
simply to repeat that its author has turned his
thoughts to the great cause of railroad troubles,
and we hope by calling attention to his proposed
improvements, to lead the engineering mind of the
country into similar direction.
Apropos to an enterprise, which we hope to see
soon consummated here-the street railroad system
we may add, that Mr. BEERS has also patented
cast-iron rail for street USE for which he claims
superior advantages, and which is said to be in
successful operation in Brooklyn.

In recent speech made by Mr. Harris, in the House
OF Representatives, that gentleman thought proper

whose statements to any fact within their know dge
would be received everywhere conclusive of the truth

This publication of Mr. Harris raises two issues between

are these:
Mr. Harris alleges that the Postoce site was opposed
by nine enths of the citizens of Baltimore and support
of this allegation he produces the letters of Messrs Tppar
and Marshall stating that the site chosen opposed by
numerous memoralists in numbering from
to four thousand. publish now herewith the certificate
