Mr. SHERMAM. I hadnot quite completed the charge that was made against Maryland. I do this not from any unfriendly feeling to the Baltimore and Ohio raih oad, which is one of the great arteries of the commercc of the West, but for the purpose of directing the attention of the Senfrom Maryland to the complaints that prevail in my own State and throu bout the whole Northwest in regard to the mi road systemof mnryland. In regard to that little compluiiitabout the baggage, I may say. although the Senator has not charge of the baggage. that I resume it has create more dissatisfaction With the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company than all other things combined. H arises from the fact that every woman, child or man who desires to go from here toihe West, through Baltimore and Harrisburg, cannot get through the city of Baltimore with the ordinary facilities that are furnished in all other places that I know of in the U.S. We cannot buy a ticket from here to go any way except one; and that littleimpediment of a mile between the end ofone railroad and anotherin Baltimoreis made more onerous and more troublesome than 500 miles of railroad travel; and in some cases I have myself gone to Baltimore for the purpose of seeing ladies who were traveling to the west through that up. Every Senator who travels to tie West nows that he cannot get his trunk checked from here to Harrisburg and so west ward. It is one of those little an noyances which are very hard to bear, and I have been surprised again and again that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company have not adopted the plan which is adopted in almost every city in the Union. You can go from here to Boston, through Philadelphia and NewYork, and check your baggage through; but you cannot get a ticket from Cleveland to Washington. You can to Baltimore, and then must get through Baltimore the best way you can, and perhaps have to hire a back at considerableexpense to get yourselfand baggage through the city. I desire to state another point if I do not interru t my friend
