SEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELB- “BAPHIO AND CTHER MATTER. ‘The question of more railroads for Washing- ton is Waturally the all-absorbing topic here: and from the powerful interests at stake in the Gongrecsiomal action proposed is attracting Wide attention everywhere throughout tne country. Itis curious to note how the matte, Of self-interest over-rides every other in the discussion of the question. New York has Bad special caure to be aggrieved by the nar_ Tow-mindred barriers put upon commerce and trade by the neighboring State of New Jersey, and the press of that city have for years been invoking the aid of all the powers that be to break up these odious railroad monopolies. But the moment prospect of aid is beid ou through the only agency capable of a‘fording relief. some of the same papers shrink back wath aflrigbt at the stately proportions of the genii they have summoned. The New York World thinks “there is too much gronnd™ tor the invectives of Senator Sherman, &c, & >. but, if existing railroad privileges are meddied with by Congress, it may come next to canals, and then the Erie Canal, which yields saca & revenve to the Stat: of York. may suifer. So the World nervously hopes tha! the Con- &ressioual plan of dealing with railro:d mo- opolies will be abandoned. Come, Mr. World, this won’tdo! You have buckled on your ar- mor and done good service to the public in ex- posing the light-weight frauds of the corner grocers. coloseal ratiroad-monopoly frauds becaase of squint of danger to your local canal inter- | ests! The New Yori Heraid, with character- istic pluck, opens the war upon the Stites Tight monopolies in a way that maixes the fur tly; and we are glad to see that the Baltimore American, BO Ways intimidated by the power- fui wfluences surroanding 1t, maintains its able advocacy of free railroads and the aban- donment of monopoly restrictions. We quote from that paper of to-day the following apt remarks «-It railroads were conducted on principles of Public good, instead of private emoiament, there might’ be some claim to ion. If, for instance, the Baltimore an Were toconvey coal trom Cumberiand to Balti- move at a fixed rate that would pay them a fur Profit, it would be the means of adding sargely to the commerce of the city. Bat instead of this, it bas drawn from the coal trade tbe ut- most farthing that it could possibly yield, sui instead of developing the mineral resources of the State, and making Baltimore a great coal market, it has dwindled and dwarted the trade down to the smallest possible compass. So | also with its through traffic—the rates from New York to St. Louis being about the same, or less if anything, than irom Baltimore to St. Louis over the same road. “There is certainly nothing of the character of pubse benetaction iu asything counectad with the railroed practice of this country. ‘They are money-making investments, the same as& newspaper is, and have no more rizht to protection irom the establishment of rival lines than the publisher bas (o protection from the starting of rival jouroals. *« + + --We contend that every company or individ- ual who desires to build a railroad should have the largest siberty todoso to the fuliest extent of his or their means. If the States will bot pass free railroad laws, we regard it as the duty of Congress to charter such companie~ and give them ail the rights they may require. ‘The Western States generally oppose no od- structions to the building of parallel or con peting lines of railroad, and the consequence i that those States are “gridironed” with the iron rail. Every city, village. and township in the State bas a raitrosd passing through it, con- necting with all the main roads of the country. ‘The 1aea of asking protection for railroads has long since been exploded im these States, and the result is that not only the people of the States are benefited, but the old through lines have profited by the change. and both in pas- sengers freight their receipts have been doubled. « Ita not only protection against that bas been demanded by these “public bene- factors,” but they iasist that ail lines shall either be under their com:rol or =Rul! no be built at all. They are the railroad k.ngs o the present day, and they want to hand down to cessor, ike the mon- _—. of old, terry and dominion ‘o Tead some of their reports, it might Posed that they were sacrificing their time And money solely for the public good, and for the ceuvefit of humanity in generat ‘That they owe anything tothe peopie poriny dalins cb tas bores wid every dotiar of tne large di they declare is extracted. is wholly ignored They announce tne laying of « donbie track or the building of a orancn, road, as a measure solely for the public good. The patting on ther roads of new cars is a humanitarian pro ject, entirely intended for the increased ¢ 1a- ort of their passengers, omitting to state the fact that the old ones were kept running until there was considerable danger of their tumbling to pieces on the road. * tah “We are thoroughly disgusted is species Of raltrcad’ bans uggery. Railroad corporations are entitled to all the protection that is given to the sbipowner, the merchant, the manutacturer, and the man of business generally, but not to one iota more. Fourteen distinct of railroad centre at Uhicago. All of them are doing a heavy business, and it will beagood thing for Baltimore and Maryland sbould we ever succeed in baving tmat number here.” rival lines The frequency of barglaries in our city Bas become so great latterly as to be positively alarming, amd to imdicate pretty plainly that there is a screw loose somewhere The ditfficul- ty may possibly lie in the carelessness on the part of housekeepers, and possibly in the lack of vigilance on the part of the police; but that one exists ins marked degree we presume no one will pretend to deny. It is not unlikely tnat the success of the some messure to the fac: that the city generally is poorly lighted. and in Some quarters mot at all: but this circum. stance, instead of beingan excuse for unsuc- cessful care or relaxation of effrt on the part ofpeltcemen, is rather a reason for increased watchiulness and activity, and consequently seater immunity from burglarious visits,—on the same principle that, om account of re- doubled caution and vigilance by the crew, ‘ternal accidents are rarer on sbip board da- ring stcrmy weather than im acalm. Our police system is so costly a luxury that there should Bot existeven the slightest suspicion of infi- ciency, and we trust Major Richards will speedily take, if be has not already taken, such special measures as will tend to lessen the pro- portions of our crimmal record. In respect to security of property, as with health, “an ounce Of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” 1: | afer “the matter bas been piaced in the bands of the police. Insuggesting increased watchfalness on the | part ofcer city guardians, of course we do not | contempiate avy relaxation of care or affor: by eur citizens themselved. They can do much toward removing all cause for complaint in this respect by removing trom sight objects which are tempting to our very large vagrant Population. by looking carefaliy after their doors and windows, and by keeping a lookout—to say nothing of one of Dr. Bolt’s “pill boxes,” or something of that sort,—for suspicious looking customers who may be bs lurking on or about their premises after pightfall. 2 SST a eens Ploy agente to execu‘s nis plans.who thorougaly concur with bie in | Don't shrink now from tackling the | ‘Obio Rrilroid | TH NATI NAL METROPOLITAN BANK We feel, in commom with gr citizens peculior interest in whatever ros the business interests of out Metropiis, tl cially when old end timeshonore institut whose good name and Bistory afe thoroughly identified with that of the national capital, adapt themselves to the new order of things brovgbt about by the political and financial revoluuons throngh which we are passing, and, instend of indulging in supineness and ueeless regrets for the past, show themselves fully equal to present emergencies, and capabl+ , of sustaining their reputation of, by-gone days and of increasing the sphere of their useful- ness. These remarks are applicable in their fallest extent to the bank whose name heads this article, amd bave been called forth by the very Prosperous exhibit made in the quarterly state. ment just published, which compares {ayorably ‘with any we have seen. Whilst its item of dis. counts shows that it is thorougtly a loc: institution, and uses its tunds in the support and building up of the business interests of our city, instead of drawing interest on call loans 'w York, the item of $70,000 to the credit of thesurplus iund shows an addition of twenty per cent. to its al. aud that due regard is bad to the iuteres's of its stockholders, and to the strengthening of its resources. Washington sadly needs capital, and under the stringent usury laws which govern us, by which so much mouey 1s diverted trom our needs or kept locked up, instead of being used to develope enterprise, it is gratifying to notice | that in the cave of this bank it recogaizes the needs of the community and is accommodating | them. | Abrief sketch of this institution at this junc- ture may not be inappropriate, as it is about as old as the Oupital itself, it having been in existence nearly s-venty y. Its first Pres- ident, General Van Ness, who condacted its | affairs for thirty years, was the intimate friend | and companion of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, and many of the great ones who | formed our nation and guided it in its totter- ing infancy; and under his able management sud tho-e associated with him, did great things in building up and establishing many, who bave exerted a beneficial influence upon the | prosperity and growth of the nation’s Capital, | and secured for themselves wealth and high | position. During the war of 1-12, whilst the old hero, Andrew Jackson, was besieged in New Or- | leans, and when British vandals had burned | our Capitol and public buildings, and the city | presented the aspect of a desert, Jackson made an urgent appeal to the President and Cabinet for relief for his suffering soldiers. In their need they called upon General Van Ness and his bank, who promptly furnished a half a mil. lion, and the little army was relieved, whilst it is needless to say New Orleans was not taken. Jackson never forgot his friends in the hoar of | need, and often spoke of what the cguntry owed tothe Eank of the Metropolis for its noble and patriotic conduct. He always kept his private account with it,and when tbe deposits of the United States Bank were removed this bink was madea public depositary. Though great excitement prevailed for a long time this insti- tution bore itvelf mantully throughout the } Storm without a suspension, though many of the best and strongest went down. Its friends and stockholders flocked to her sapport when ber very existence was meraced. When calied Upon to report to the United States Treasury what arrangement could be made to pay over its debt of deposits, its respouse was:—“ Mr. Secretary, draw for your balance and it will be paid om demand,” and it was done. No drattever made by the United States Govern. ment on it was sent back or refused, aud it came out of the ordeal unscathed. Various attempts were afterward made to annul its charter, and. otaerwise impair its power and influence: but ‘they were unsuc- cessful, and it continued on in its career of Uusetuiness and success unt!l the rebellion. Its Presidents during that time were General J. P. Van Ness, J. W. Maary, and Thomas Car- bery. After an homored and useful existence of nearly three-score years and ten, the Bauk | of the Metropolis had become reduced to a con- dition of such humiliation that oa the 22d of April, 1863, its stock was sold at public anc. | tien. under an order of the court, at 3+ cents | im the dollar. Its capital had evidently be- come greatly impatred, and its affairs seemed to be in a very doubtful condition. About this time some parties organized under the national bank law asthe “National Bank of the Me- Topolis,”’ and located themselves next door to the old bank. They subsequently failed and ‘went into liquidation. The old Bank of the Metropolis finding their name sppropriated, organized under the name of the “National Metropolitan Bank,” and in- corporating in their new organization an ac- tive business element, whilet selecting as their President Dr. John B. Blake, and as their Cashier Moses Kelly, Esq., two of our bes, known and most honored citizens, entered apo jccessful and prosperous career, hay- sng succeeded in the space of five years in pat- | ting the old Bank in as proud a position as she bas ever eccupied, with its capital stock in- creased one-fifth by its surplus earnings. The aggregate loans of this institution amounted in the year 1967, to nearly two mil- lion dollars, the average of such being about seven hundred dollars. The number of per- | sons thus accommodated re 2,659, and though the money could have been loaned here and elsewhere at higher rates and less trouble and expense, it would not helped our citizens, That this conduct has been appreciated by them, the increasing Prosperity of the institntion assures us, and we bave devoted this much space to the and conduct of this bank from the belief that all efforts and actions of this kind, whether by corporations or indiviauals, should bé encour- aged, as upon such a line of conduct the fu:ure prosperity of our city depends.
