1t is possible that the postmaster
general will he compelled 10 take
hand in the fight between the railroad
Scott and Garrett. so far us
fhe transportation of mails between
Washington and New York is con
carned, Scott has notified him that on
and after the first day ofJune no trains
of the Baltimore and Ohio road will be
permitted TO pass over his rails from
Philadelphia 10 New York. The mail
service between here and New York l.
now equally divided b tween the two
corporations, the Baltimore and 0hiG
carrying the morning mails from both
tcrmini, ani-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 il Sect persists in refusing
the privilege of running ON his tracks
between the points named, it is hard TO
see how HE postmaster general can do
otherwise than turn over the entire
service TO Scott. He has the matter
under consideration, and will decide in
few days.
