hope, therefore, you will allow me
to be heard through THE REPUBLI-

are matters of weight and moment,
and ought not to be settled according

$500, 900 of the States claims against
the railroad was on account of the
20 per cent. capitation tax on the
Washington Branch road since 1872.
A competing road had been charter.
ed by the State, alongside Of the Ball
timore and Ohio which was not SUBJ
ject to any such tax. and which re.
duced the earnings of the Baltimore
and Ohio three million dollars. The
company claims, and justly claims,
that it should not be compelled to
pay this capitation tax, after the
competing road went into operation.
Again, some time before the war, the
railroad company, wishing to nego-
tiate loan in London, arranged for
the State to issue 8 per cent. gold
bonds, and in lieu therefor to
take the 6 per cent currency
bond of the company TheState gave
