Representatives which occasioned intense ex-
element throughout the country. The ques-
ton Of the impeachment Of Blount WAS under
discussion, and, while balloting was going on
for managers of tho trial, Mathew Lyon, Of Ver-

declared that he would 60 to Connecticut and
fight the Representatives from that State on
their own ground. The opportunity was fsv-
orable one for Mr. Griswold, who said with cut

sword with you, Of course" Lyon answered by
splitting in his face. The friends Of both inter

Of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company

rett in the chair. After tho transaction of rou-
tine business, Mr.. Garrett made statement OF
tho present status OF affair At tho same timo
reviewing past events.
I He is understood to have indicated that whilst
It might be desirable that differences existing
between the Baltimore and Ohio and other rail-
road corporations should bs settled. his compa,
ny could not depart from its well-known policy
Of controlling rates between it's own
termini, and managing its Affairs 80
- to benefit the city OF Baltimore, while
taking care Of its own permanent inter-
est. The postal car service had been adjusted
70 the advantage Of the company and the city OF
Baltimore by giving the large aud important
mail service between Baltimore and the West
to the Baltimore and Ohio road, or in other
words extending Its Western postal car service
over the Washington branch.
Mr.. Garrett referred to the Now York news
paper statements relative to large amounts Of
Baltimore and Ohio paper being upon the mar
kot in that city, and stated that while negotia-
tons had been made ut very low rates OF inter-
eat, and Baltimore and Ohio paper was in de-
1,and. there was none obtainable in that market
at this time, and offers Of several millions had
been made on the most advantageous terms, but
had ben declined.
