RAILROAD MATTERS The Washington Ger.
-espondentei the Baltimore Gazette says: -
The citizens railroad meeting last night was
. complete failure. There was not sufficient
membership present to transact any business,
and 81 nothing at all was done 1t IS stated
that Hon. Lewis Mckenzie, who has been so
active in trying TO obtain a subscription OF q
milton dollars from our etizenS towards the
completion at hts railroad - Cincinnati, has
advocated the imposition Of a tax per capita on
all passengers coming over that read who come
to Washington by the Washington, Georgetown
and Alexandria road, on the ground that the
latter road takes trade away from Alexandria
aud brings it to Washington. The few pasSen
gers who come up from Alexandris of night
10 witness the Washington amusements will
not like this notion very well, but the Wash
ugtou people, who are impOrtuned for u mil
lion dollars to help build up the trade of Alex
aadria, will not see in this petty display OF Sc
hshuess much inauccment to open their purse
strings.
We do not know what MIR. Mckenzie views
are with regard to the subject mentioned
We do know that it seems, in the whole matter.
the "selfshness' does not he at the doors of
Alerandria The Washington people have
never been importuned for million OF dollars
Tor for hundred centsl to help to build up the
trade OF AlsrU,lru" just the reverse. Nor
can we perceive that there is anything peculiar
ly selfish IN the proposition to require some
compensation from railroads tor the use OF the
streets OF this city, occupied for the Use Of rail
roads-a matter with which Washington, as a
corporation has nothing to DO 1t IL poor
excuse for the action ol the people OF Washing
ton up to this time, iu not opening their purse
strings to assist in extending the Alexandria,
Loudoun and Hampshire railroad that our
people should look to their owa interests 10
their own property; or that MIR Mex, As a
citizen OF Alexandra, should desire TO assist
and protect, in local matter, what he may
conceive TO be the interests of this place.
