FRIDAY. MORNING, JUNE so, 1896.


We have often, and with pleasure too, advert
ID 20 the indefatigable and able manner in
which the Pos, Master General has discharged
The arduous duties of his Department; and al
though cur own town has profited less by his
jealous exer,ions than any other place of the
same population inthe range OF our enquiry, we
h.te ever been disposed, and still are, 10 attri-
butte our grievances to his Ignorance Of their ex-
js,ence That we labor, as commercial peo-
ME, under great disadvantages, through the pre-
sen, arrangement Of the Mail between this place
and Washington, is known and felt by every man
of business, who requires information from the
Northern cities; and that the grievance Can be
easily rcdressed is as plain as that it exists. The
great Northern Mail arrives in Washington a.
bout eleven O'Clock, A. NJ. and generally in A
laxandria about two, often three, and sometimes
not until four or FIVE. Yesterday 1t was
received at GUe-six hours after il had beer, re-
ceiycd in Washington, although the distance
between the two cities is not more than seven
miles. The excuse was, that the machinery Of
the Steamboat lcGS out Of order' Was there no
Stage, Hack, or Cart that could have been
procured 70 deliver us our letters and papers,
when il was known that the boat was ont Of or
der? Does the contract with the Boat Compa-
ny sanction such conduct? Or is it an imposi-
ton Of he Captain? We trust the subject
will be investigated, and the recurrence OF
such shameful treatment prevented. Had the
letters, or papers, by last evenings mail, con-
,ained important news, our merchants might
have been specula;ed on for five hours; and
indeed we often hear, through gentlemen
from Washington, the news brought by the
mail, before we get ii through the regu-
lar channel The mail for Alexandria should
be despatched by land, from the Washington
PostOffice before letters are delivered out there
so other course will place us on fair footing;
and We doubt not remonstrance from our mer-
chants would secure such an arrangement
The National Journal says, it is stated in
French Government had determined to acknow-
ledge the independence OF the South American
States, and also Of Greece. The Paris papers
Of the 25th are silent on the subject.
The last Western mail, says the National In
,elligencer brought the news of the death of Gen
WILLIAM REcroR, late Surveyor General Of
the United States for the district composed Of
the States of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri,
and the Territory of Arkansas. He had, for
year or TWO past, resided in the State OF Hi
nois, not far from St. Louis, and he died within
that State about the first Of this month.
