The Railroad Exemption Passed.

The resolution Of Council exemptipg
the property Of tho Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad Company within tho city from
all taxation, past, present and future, was
adopted again by the First Branch last
evening, and the measure thus finally
passed Supposing 1t 10 have received .
two-thirds vote in tho Second Branch
The First Branch rejected a proposition
offered by Gov. STANTON requiring the
Railroad company to agree that in future
there should be no more discrimination in
the matter ol way freights against Wheel
ing in favor Of Baltimore, and another
offered by Mr.. BLAIR requiring the action
of the Mayor in making the contract to
be submitted to and ratified by Council
before having any validity. Both these
propositions were so reasonable and prop.
or that VIC think tho members of Council
who voted against them will not find 1t
easy to give their constituents good rea.
sons for doing so, supposing them to bo
legislating for the city and not for the
Railroad company.

Il was reading in my Bible. You shall
