R. Co. are unduly, exercised over, my 'article published in the. Record of the rith ult. In that article "think I represented*litir 'lythe 'ciaints oktiie rival.Conipanies and the;.obfeetions that,l had 'heard. made to each. I did not state these objections on my own authority or youth for their truth. What I stated as my ,own opinion and as facts which ,I believe ,wouldnot be dia.- puted is as follows : . „ "1. 'The measured distance from Way "neAiiro',to.Tinrrisburg,by the Miramar "is 60,miles. the South Mountain, "(admiting the distance from Waynesboro' "to Pine Grove-to be but '27 'miles,) it "is 651.. , . . "2..1t is manifeatthat the' cost (per "mile) of a road from Pine Grove to Tray "nesboro' it exceed that from Shippens "burg:and withmhigher grades." , ' "3.. It is Manifest that a road through "the:Valley would accommodate a larger "number of people and do • a larger lmsi "ness ;„ and, by connecting with the C. V. "R. R. ,at Scotland or Shippensburc b , "would afford easy access to the 'County "seat. ' "4 The Miramar asks $llO,OOO from ‘‘the people of Washington', Quincy, Guil "ford and, Greene .(not including the Mont "Alto Furnace) while the South Moun tain virtually *nuts $150,000 from . the "borough of - Waynesboro' alone." , And that thosi facts were of themselves suficient to decide the question.., • :,My opinion in relation . to the probable cost of theSOUth Mountain extension - and the steepness of the: grades required. to overcome the summit, was , - based upon the statement, of a man who said he ' had linnied - throulth those Mountains for thir ty years and was familiar with the ,; route pfoposect and there wasss:rtainlyn; strong pre6dinption that'that portion of the line through the Mountains Would • be more costly than a corresponding line through the Valley. " Hy statement that "the South Moun tain virtually wants $150,000 from the Borough of Waynesboro' alone" was- bas 'ed upon information that none of these bonds could .be sold in Quincy, and but a stall portion' if any outside Waynes boro." • • In comparing the relative 'value of the stoc:/.1 and Bond scheme, I intimated a doubt as to the soundness of the bonds. It .rpay be I was in error in this. I bus ed bay opinion partly on the company's report of operations last year, partly on the reported fdet that - the road is built wholly or nearly so -with , bonds, ,and I 'did not believe its position in relation to travel and traffic:such as to make it a paying road, even with - the Waynesboro' extension. • That was a -mere matter of Opinien and I shall, be very happy to change it 'when it is shown to be errone ous. . I had not the least desire or intention to "misrepreseut" the' South Mountain CO. and I pertainly "fabricated" • nothing. Islcithing.is gained in any business by misrepresentatien„and in this case the facts are, in my opinion (and I thiik in the' opinion of the majority of the- people) so strongly in favor of the Miramar route thatmo misrepresentgtion is required.

At any rate thelorelegalready_ opened on the North side and immediate ly contiguous to.Miramar will afford more ore than the road can transport- or :the market demand. B. A first mortgage haiing been ex ecuted on the South Mountain Iron road, as now completed, I had , supposed that any subsequent mortgage upon , the whole property including extension would necessarily be 'a 2d mortgage. In this it seeems I was in error. 7. The "men who represent" the South Monntain Co. are doubtless gentlemen of the highest respectability and would not )f-Bourse-reeo_maLemLaEseeurity-the.y___Aid: not believe to be sound—but they do not offer to guarantee these bonds and if they should turn out to be mistaken in their opinion their respectability would scarce ly satisfythebondholders.

These men believe the road will pay and they havC , tested their faith be taking stock themselves.. A few words reply, to "R. G." and I am done. 1. "R. G." a'. article is upon the whole fair and candid--,though I suspect there is a small ethiopian in the fence, who is not quite ready yet to exhibit .himself. But is riot "IL G." a little too precise. When I said the Miramar proposes to build a' through line from the Susquehanna to the Potomac; is anybody. ..misled ? "Susque hanna" is. not quite correct ; but Whitehall mile.this side is- practically 'the same and since the road must at present tap the C. V. R. R. somewhere this side themver, it makes no great difference whether it be at Bridgeport, Whitehall, or 'Shiremans town: since that article was ritten Me chanicsburg.has.been suggested as a com promise with .the C.. V. in relatrimii. to a proposed Dillsbur,„o. branch, but - the;" mat ter has.:not been decided: : Did I say, "the Miramar propose for .the sum of $160,000.t0.-give us a ;through line from the , Susquehanna to the Pao- MaC ?',"(I have not the' Record of the , ' , 3 - d ult by me') That' I confess is a loose state ment, but could anybody suppose that I meant anything more than that the .Mir axtiar proposes to build a At from river to river and'ean doit, if the people will S'ubscAhe the' necessary amount of money. to grade and bridge it. They have clone this in ~Cumberland Co. and the road there is a fixed fact, if the people of Frank lin' will subscribe:inlike . proportion' the road will be extended thiough that county .and so on to the Piitomac, ..1? did not of course "mean that "the Company would guarantee a road from river -to river for 8169,000 and 'I dont think anYbodywould SEoinderstiiiid it; especially as the people are well informed 'as to what ;the Compa ny does. .propose. , • 2.:The:Southern Pa.

Citizen says, "It clahns to be strong ly supported; by the Penn. and the Read ing R. R. Co's and to have the promise of substantial aid from them." ' Well I understand from the President's Report that the COmpany does claim that. "R:G.' thinks this aid can, be obtained' but only on the usual terms. Now what are the usual terms ? These : The lessee puts on equipment* and runs the road (which it can probably d 025 per cent. cheaper than the Co. could itself.) It , charges the Company the exact, cost of At and 8 per cent. on-the value of rolling stock —everything beyond it turns over to the Co. Now what is there unfair abont that?. Could a Fore favorable arrangement pos sibly be made , ? In the, case of a road lik. the Miramar which probably • :do a large business from - the start;- and' ['whose bUsinmswill increase- , year by. year i is not such an arrangement better even than a guarantee of 8 per dent: on-the•stockl.
