Fiamkuess, however, compels me to state to you | that any propewal that does nog concede to the ets it Inter- sets, will never meet my approval. [can never consent that a railroad owned anc emtroiied by persons in the interest of a rival city shall as- sume the power to dictate to this city what shall ‘or shall not be comsidered the legal grade of its streets, to 40 construct its road as to prevent the improvement and building up of a large portion of the area of the city, or. im any Wise to inter~ fere with the execution of the corporation laws in reference to grades. Nor can 1 consent that the raflroal company shall make use of our streets for the purpose of making up trains, nor ax room for empty cars, nor in auy way that ‘ithe free use of any strect or avenue shall be paired thereb: 1am as desirous of having this dificulty set- fled as any one can possibly be; still, as I admit it vitally important to the city, I would much Prefer to have the matter remain as it is—to be leelded by the courts of controlled by Congres: onal than to concede to the railroad company any of the points laid down in the foregoing bref and Nastily drawn statement, And lam satisfied that our entire population | Will insist on these points until they are carried | inte effect. It is not required that all this shall ve done at once; but aday must be named be- yond which the railroad company will abandon all claims to sovereignty within the city limits, and before which the track of the road shall be changed xo as to conform to the established grade of the stregts. |” 1 think you ree with me that negotia- it place concernit in writing to avoid mis- pectfully, iayor. ve ‘on the Mayor this morning. and the resolutions ted at the con- ference on Saturday, referred to elsewhere, to Shich the Mayor replies as follows: EECOND LETTER YROM THE MAYOR. ‘ON Cit, Dec. 13, 1869.—Gentlemen tee:—1 regret that considerations of the Corporation and people of Washing- pel me most respectfully to state that I unot accept the proposition submitted in the Kesolation adopted by the me: ng. of citizens, asa basis © ttlement of the difficulties exi ing oe the Corporation of Washington and BADD UR NR SSR, ‘hi Y mpany at Hberty to ne the use of the track as now laid di t the depot, (whieh at this point ts several fect below the grade of North Capitol street,) and north to the boundary of the city, without con- ceding to the corporation the Mght to change the grade of its streets at pleasure, and to con pel the Eailroad Company to eoriferm the bed of thelr road to stich grad Second. The resolution does not require the Haltimore and Ohio Railroad € eg, Sena da aban- dion the use of our streets for making tp tealtiy and asa depot tor pasenger and freight cars notin nse, . Third. The Baltimore and Ohio Railrod Com- pany should be required to concede the right of the ‘Corporation to tax {ts real and personal property the same as the property of its citizens, and the company should be Fequired to pay the taaes that have accrued from 1855 to the present time, which it now refuses to do. Fourth. The legal right of the company to traverse Ist street east or any other street in the city without any consideration whatever & pears to be conceded by the resotution of committee—a concession to which I can never Meld, it being against public policy and smbver- | sive of privat rested, rights. If the road is to jeter the city af all should be on private prop CHF urehaned and paid for by the comiapy, and the streets should only be used where il necessary to cross them, and that as nearly at ight angles as practicable. th. Lean never yield my assent to the use of any part of North Capitol street, betw cen the Capitol and the Government Printing Citice, by the railroad company either to lay a track on ot to cross the same. As now used by the company all travel between the points alluded to is as ef- feomualty breed that street asf heard bar- icaded, and the owners of property on the same suffer irreparable Hoss withoutan wova Of advantage aceruing to them. A basis of settlement should cover all the foregoing points, for each is a matter of dispute and though the question of grader should be ar ranged + proposed in the resolution, the others ‘wont remain and give rise to similar difficulties. And my observation satisties ine that the po ple of Washington will demand that their Fe- presentatives shall not yield a jotor tittle of what I have stated as a basis of, and as liminary to, an adjustment of the whole affair. Were Ito'be Dermaltted to suggest a plan that would be acceptable to the elty, I woul that if the Baldmore and Otio Railroad pany would enter the city on their preses conform their track to the grade it intersects, and remove the a. to a po north of T street north and east of Fourth stre cast, many complaints would be avoided, and several of the objections named would bé re- moved. There would then be no difiicult changing the bed of the road to the grade o streets where it intersects them, Ampossi- bility of elevating the track thirteen feet above the present bed of tho road at the intersection of I with Second street east being now the great obstacle to be overcome, and this plan would remove it. The road can in this way use its Present line, and not traverse any of the strects, nor interfere with private interests. This point being settled, the Mi tan road can be connected with the ‘and Ohio rail- Toad outside the city limits, and Loth enter the city on one line, and make use of the same depot. in regard to the other resolution A : H i ay i rt a: Ei i i E t i a fi A Ne i rt better with justice and propriety for Corporation to cons:det offers of settle sent the Company than by submitting propos for their ange, ause them the least i : Joss; but a day shouii be ‘ixed and determined ma, beyond which che people of this metropo- Hsbull cease to ‘cause of eoraptaint onseqiter.ce of the Baltimore and Obie Riai!-oad airg soversign powers over shat portion of she cicyeezough whlch its 20a Passes, our obedient servar* Sd.

Respectfully, Se Market Regulations. Euditer Star 1 have been pleased to see in your paper, occasionally, remarks upon the sub- Ject of our market regulations, and the manner inwhich country people, who come with articles for sale, are sometimes treated. ‘There is cer- tainly something not only unjust, but really ab- surd and ridiculous in the law: Which govern such matters, or in the way in which they are construed and carried out. It appears as if the only object of our law-makers is to harass and oppress this class of dealers, to the very great injury of every man, woman aud child who lives and eatsin the city. ‘Their great aim ‘seems to be to hamper and contract, as much as possible, the traffic in all the articles of con- sumption, and to make provisions as dear as they can.” As J have said, therefore, Ihave been pleased to see your allusions te this and kim evils, and to read your sensible and comments upon them. 1 hope ys tinue to give attention to the subj that suitable reforms If you will allow me, 1 will stute a stance that has just come 1 will Mustrite what I g A respectable farmer trom M ‘was attending market with th A Burcuer. ing ea Tetore: he up to Bim at urried ifiiew, and the ¢ : he was’ sl without weighing th them, It was in vain i: offered to swear that. they r weighed wired before he lett There was ne com) by tho. dealt with him, or by any one, that there was the least unfairness on his part. tested his ignorance of the existe .
