DEAR Sin: In reply to yoursof the 13th I haveto say that more than a monthsinceImade a written application to the ofllccrspf the Camdenand Amboy Railway Compapyfor facilities for deingour express and transportation busmessover their road and in the meantime have repeatedly scen the presidentand other officers of the road and urged them verbally to give us such facilities. In mylastinterview with the preaudenthq declined to entertain a proposition from us, and Within the last 3 days I have reccived the inclosed notice from the secretary, which you Will see amountsto a flat refusalto treat With us. Please return methe secretary’s letter. Respectfully yours. H. WARFIELD. SuperintendenNtorthernDivision. General J. H. WILSOS, Superintendent NorthernDept, fraalirngtoDn, 0. WASHINGTON D, 0. lfarch16, 1866. Sis: I take the liberty oflaying beforeyou the following facts touching the matter of transportation between this city and NewYork, and thereforethrowing somelight on the questions involved in the appli caItion for an air line railroad. believeit is urged by thoseopposedto the proJect just mentionedthat the present line of railway via hiladelphia and Baltimore is sufficientfor all purposes, and that thereforethe charter asked for: by the advocatesof the "air line" is unnecessary. Within the last 2 months.as the manager of the National Express and TransportationCompanyinthe northern States, I havehad occasion to ncizotiatoWith the authorities of the Camdenand Ainbpy railroad, the Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore road and the Baltimore and Ohio road, for the purpose of obtaining the usual facilities enjoyed by ot orexpress companies in the transaction oft icir business. These negotiations have been most lvconducted for the company which I represent by Mr. H. Wrirficld, a businessman of great experience. After the remark that the express business is quite as mucha legitimateoc cupation asany other and therefore entitled to fair play on all hands, and particularly from public carriers. I begto invite special attention to the fact that the Camden and Amboyltailroud Companyup to the presenttime havedenied the company which I represent any of the privileges granted to Adams’com pany and that too, in faceof the fact that we hayc cake for nothing unusual, andhavesignifiedourwillinguessand ability to iayat the same rates required from others. I inclose ere with alctter from Mr. H. Warlield. superintendentof the northern division,0. letter. marked “A.” and also a copyof a letter from Mr. R. Stockton, socrcta of the Camdenand Auiboy rraoialrdoad. ".B, ” fromw ic itwill be seen that the rail positivelydecline to negotiate for an extension of their accommodations to express companies.Without annoyingyou with additional details or extrane ous information touchingthe reasonfor declinipg to negotiate, it is fair to assumethat they do soeither because they havesold what they call the exclusive right to transact exress businessover their road to the Adams'Expross om any and its branches, orthat they have alrcad tax their road to its utmost in giving accomincations of this kind and therefore are pnabloto dothe business which wo have intended to give them.' In either case, an interest represented by $10,000.1i1n“)our company, and probably tWice as much morein the other 2 companies alluded to in the copyof Mr. Stockton’s note, is compelled to suffer because the Camdenand Amboyrailro ad iesither sold to a giganticmonopolyor overtaxed in its capacities. A condition of aifairsinwhich either of these pould bethe caseis certain] injurious to the busiiiess interestsof‘the country, an aflord ample reasons for the charteringand construction of another road betwcen NewYork and Philadelphia at least. Between Philadelphia and this place the case is slightly different.but still op ressiveto the busniess interests of the companywhic I represent: but without goinginto any details. I will simply say that the doet fiscireorusso of fobuer icnomhpea anrydsbtaynthdereadyto testify and are committee to which has been referre the matter of the “ air line road." Mr. Wartield's addressis core of the National Exress and Trunsportation Company. Baltimore.Maryland.
