mention OF the indignation meeting held by
passengers. Mr.. o. D. Bassett, Of Connect
cut, was chosen chairman Of tho meeting,and
Mr.. Cathcart, Of Baltimore, selected as Sec
rotary.
Mr.. J. J. Stewart, Of Baltimore, offered
resolution "that the attempt by the mu-
nicipallty of Washington to enforce any sup
| posed legal rights against the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company by obstructing the
track, SO as to prevent the citizens OF the
United States and the mall from passing
over the said road, Is an outrage upon the
the unqualified condemnation OF every lover
Of law and order"
General Richardson, of Baltimore, called
attention 10 the fact that the Mayor had no
tiled the president OF the railroad company
to elevate the grade OF the track at this
point.
Mr.. Stewart replied that the meeting
passed no opinion upon the merits Of any
litigation between the city and railroad cor
poratlons. lie presumed the courts of the
District were able to settle these matters,
but he must express his unqualified disap-
proyal of the method resorted to by the city
to enforce Its supposed rights. Innocent
! people were here impeded In their passage
toward their homes, aud sense OF insecurity
was created thereby. Ladies' and gentlemen
whose destination was as remote as New
England, who had the right to leave the cap.
ital, were detained, while members Of their
| families were made anxious by the tele-
! graphic announcements that this act would
give rise to. The United States mall was
stopped, TO the detrment OF the Government
and the business Of the country. Under
these circumstances II was but proper the
people should express their indignation.
The resolution was unanimously adopted
aud tho meeting adjourned.
