1t Is possible that the postmaster
general will DO compelled to take II
hand In the fight between the railroad
autocrats, Scott and Garrett. So far as
the transportation of mails between
aud New York Is con-
cerned, Scott has notified him that on
md after the first day ofJune no trains
Of the Baltimore aud Ohio road will be
permitted TO pass over his rails from
Philadelphia TO New York. The mail
service between here and New York Is
now equally divided b tween the two
corporations, the Baltimore and Ohio
carrying the morning mails from both
and the Pennsylvania line the
evening mails. Garrett has heretofore
been running cars over Colonel SCOTS
road from Philadelphia to New York,
thus enabling him to carry through
mails, but II Scott persists in refusing
The privilege Of running on his tracks
between the points named, II Is hard to
see how the postmaster general can do
than turn over the entire
service to Scott. He has the matter
under consideration, and will decide in
\ few days.
