We, the Eastern members of the

Messrs. John x. Cowen and Oscar G..
Murray. receivers of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, at the close of our trip
from New York to Chicago and return,
for the extraordinary comforts and
courtesies which we have received at
their hands.
The special train of palace and bou-

most complete one probably ever ar
ranged for an equal number OF per-
sons. and the appointments and the

perience. The efficiency, Kindness, and

beauties and grandeur of nature, but
also to study the now evident success
of the resources and of the genius put
forth by the management for placing
this historical road in the forefront of
the great trunk lines which make
common thoroughfare of the Eastern,
the Southern, and the Middle divisions
of the American Union.
We congratulate the receivers upon
the reported approaching completion of
their trust, and upon their ability 10
