Those who charge alteration or destruction
OF the records of the War Department hearing

To say nothing of the impOssibility of Mr..

The BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD
80 many Great Expectations in regard to
new railroad communications for the benefit of
Washington have fallen through that the peo-
pie have grown to a decidedly increduIous
frame of mind IN the premises, and probably
nothing short of the appearance of the iron
horse on some new line OF road will fully con-
vince them, or many OF them.
lfappearances, however, are nov unusuallv
deceptive. 1t would really seem that one road,
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, is to be
quilt. Concerning this road we have the fol-
lowing informstion, which certainly looks
hopeful. Gov. Bowie, who is energetic and
persevering, and seems to mean business has
now considerable force OF laborers engaged in
grading on the several sections in Anne Arun-
del, and Prince Georges county. The Com
pany have finally fixed on the location of their
Baltimore depot in North Charles street, which
they will reach by passing around or through
the western part Of that city. Leaving the
Patapsco at point opposite Ferry Bar, the
road will pass down the bed of SwitZer's
Run, and on nearing the Annapolis rail-
road, will, for the last four or five miles be-
fore crossing that road run very nearly
parallel with the Washington Branch Rail-
road. less than a half dozen miles to the east of
II. Ii will cross the Annapolis and Elkridge
Railroad below WATTS, about five miles from
Annapolis junction." and following down
Rogues Harbor Branch to the Little Patuxent
will strike that stream near Thurle's Ford,
crossing the ridge near the Forks" Methodist
Church, and the Big Patuxent near Lemons
Bridge, thence on to Collington, where the lat
ersl to Washington will intersect the main
ROAD 70 Aqua Greek. This branch to Wash
ington will strike a small tributary of the Ana
costa, which 1t will follow towards the city.
The grades and aligamenis are said to be ex-
ceedingly favorable by this route, and suitable
stone for the culverts and timber for the ties
are found at all points, within easy reach The
cement to be used in the construction of the
Culverts has already reached the points where
1t will be needed, and there are other encour.

We understand from members Of the Gt-
zens Committee upon railroads that Mr.. Gar
rett has expressed 4 desire to confer with the
committee, ,or an interchange Of views upon
District railroad matters. Mr.. Garrett seems
TO think that the city of Washington and his
company are working at cross.purposes, and
as be contends that their interests are mutual,
be probably wishes to hear exactly what our
citizens complain of; and to set forth On his
side what his company is doing, or proposes to
do IN the way of remedying these grievances
Such a conference will perhaps result in good
The committee will present their indictment
and it Is pretty long one-against his road
They will have to complain Of high freight and
passenger fare; and the discrimination against
us III freight charges for the benefit Of Baiti-
more. Goods from Baltimore are sent throu Oh
washington far into Virginia at less freight
charge than from Baltimore to Washington.
The same Is true Of freight passing in the oppo-
site direction from Virginia to Baltimore
through Washington. There is the same dis
elimination against us In favor of Balu-
more on the main stem in Maryland.
We suffer greatly from the break in connection
with the Pennsylvania road in Baltimore. The
cost Of Transportation is largely increased to our
business men by this break ano much delay Is
involved, as well as the trouble and expense
OF employing men specially in Baltimore to see
10 the transfer OF freight from one road TO the
other. We do not hold Mr.. Garrett altogether
responsible for this break but il has al ways
seemed to us that if he had cared very much to
effect a connection with the Pennsyl vania road
the thing could have been accomplished.
This break is an intolerable nuisance to bust
ness men and passengers. 1t may be remedied
when the Baltimore and Potomac road is
built; but years may elapse before it is effected
IN that way. Then there is the nu sance of
having to change cars at the Relay House,
going West, at the risk of getting a " promenade
seat" for the trip. This. too, may be remedied
when the Point of Rocks road is completed,
years hence. Cannot Mr. Garrett give us assu-
rance that these evils will be remedied at once !
There Is the II street imbroglio; why cannot
MIR. Garrett yield gracefully to the wishes of
the people of Washington aud conform the
grade of his road to the grade of the city. or
else change the location of his Washington
depot This under. grade track wholly inter-
rupts the growth of the city in that direction,
and it is natural that the tact should cause
much ill-feeling towards the Company.
Let us see if Mr.. Garrett cannot be induced
TO look at these matters from the Washington
standpoint. 1t will be a great point gained if
we can enlist his energy and executive ability
in behalf Of Washington; and really the inter-
ests of the National Capital are the interests of
his company and of the city of Baltimore.
