Coal TRADE. The letter published yesterday
announcing the determination of one of the
largest coal companies having agencies here of,
if not removing their business to Baltimore, at
least Of extending operations in that, to the
detrimcnt Of this city, in consequence OF the
gross mismanagcmcnt Of the Chesapeake aud
Ohio canal was a sad and great surprise to
the readers OF the Gazette, and the questions
that at once were asked by every one werc:-
Why is Mr.. A. p. German: the President and
Superintendent of the canal, allowed to retain
those positions if he be Incompetent to bill
them, or uses them to initiate against the IN
tcrcsts of the canal and in favor Of the Is. Il y.
Railroad? Why don't Gov Whytc and the other
two members of the Board Of Public Works OF
Maryland who conferred those appoint
mcnts revoke them and confer them upon
competent man, such for Instance as his pre-
decessor? Suce the publication, the matter
has been the general topic Of conversation In
business circles, for if the coal trade be lost to
Alexandria its business prospects will have
received heavy blow. Arrangements were
in progress here depending upon an an,
ticipatcd increased coal trade, which, II
carried out, would have been of immense
present and lasting value to tho city,
but they have all been suspended and await
the action Of the Board Of Public Works OF
Maryland and that Board should rccollcct that
the people in the upper counties OF their State
have votes aud thar their election will soon be
held
