POST oFFICE REFoRM.

In our last, we gave the removals Of Post
masters that had taken place between the 4th
Of March, 1897, and the 9th Of February
last as reported by the Postmaster General
We were particularly struck with the number
of removals, since the LIST Of January of this
year, less than two months. We expressed
the opinion then, that it is part Of Mr.. Van
Buren's system SO to reform the post Office
department all over the country, as to make
it wholly subseryent to his purposes as
grand electioneering as well as inquisitorial
machine.
Since that report was made to the Senate,
the work Of removal seems to have been
going on at an increased rate, as appears by
the abstracts from the Journal Of the week"
that have been published in the Globe. In
the one published in that paper Of Tuesday,
it appears that, fourteen post Offices were
established, and sixty-fve postmasters appoint
ed !; and we presume, that the excess Of ap-
pontlnents over the Offices established, is to
replace removals. If so, then there were
ffy-one removals during that week.
As we have no doubt that the proprietors
Of the Globe are paid for publishing these
weekly reports Of the proceedings of the post
Office department, we would suggest to the
Postmaster General, to give from the journal
of the week the names Of the postmasters
removed. 1t would be merely adding to the
appointments, "in place Of A B, removed"
This will add greatly 10 the interest the peo-
pie will take IN examining the weekly ''of1i-
cial" reports as they are published.

scarifcation-we say, "take them of"-he has got

MAJESTY OF THE PEOPLE.
Never were the injuries of betrayed peo-
pie more signally avenged--never did the ma
jesty Of the people shine forth more brilliantly
than Ia the recent elections in the State Of
Connecticut.
II Is now just one year, since the people
Of that State manifested by their votes their
disapprobaiion Of the leading measure Of the
Executive. by an overwhelming majority.
Their representatives in Congress, how
ever, needed not the admonition. II was
repudiated by them. Their Senators cast
away with scorn the instructions Of the body
which elected them. Executive smiles and
favor, and party discipline carried the repre-
sentatives away from their constituents and
Connecticut was for whole year misrcpre-
scented in both branches Of Congress. The
people have east of the unfaitlfM servants,
and redressed their wrongs.
The State which was represented in the
last Congress by six snbserrienis of the Exc
cutive, will be represented in the next by six
opponents Of the Executive. The work Of
reform had previously commenced by the cleo
tom TO the Senate Of an opponent Of the admi-
nistraton in place Of Doctor Niles. This
same individual who was to bring the State
back to Loco. focoism and the aid Of the Exc
cutiye himself defeated as a candidate for Co
vernon And who Is it that has done this |!
The miserable Conservatives" as Mr.. Niles
styled them. II is true they had separate
ticket of their own, which took from the Loco
(ocos the number Of votes cast for that ticket !;
yet vast number Of the Conservatives, to
make defeat certain to the Sub-freasu,yites,
voted for the Wing candidates. Without these
two classes ofvotes being Withdrawn from the
administration party, what could the Wing
party have donel Nothing. We, therefore,
say it is the Conservatives who have caused
the defeat ofthe Sub-treasury party.
In January last, Mr.. ToUcEY in speech
in favor ofthe Sub-Treasury, and against the
banking system ofthe country, declared, We
haze paged par against IL. We wiH nerer
make an end Of The ,oar till there is an end q
the principle" This was the language Of one
who was at that time misrepresenting those
who sent him here, by following in the wake
of Executive favor. Justly has he been re.
buked. His constituents have chosen to make
an end Of the ,car, by dismissing from their
service those who were waging It, and en-
ploying in their places to represent them those
who would cherish their institutions.

which every thing has for its deepest basis

IS poss ibe that which combines much Of the
charm and force Of both the others, in which
self consciousness projects itself into exter-
nal figures, and appears as unself-conscious-
ness, presenting them at the same time more
distinctly even than epic song. This is the
drama.
OF the lyric poetry Of Greece but little is
left to us; and the only considerable body of
poems of this kind by one writer, the Odes
Of Piudar, belong to that poriod when poetry
had already ripened into the drama for Pin.

life we know enough to form distinct image
both Of his outward circumstances and his in

a golden urn and who for this alone would
be ever noticeable, that he is the earliest hu-
man being of European race, not politically
eminent, OF whose character in its finer traits
and supplenesswe can obtain well grounded
and many sided resemblance.

The following is an extract Of a letter from
an old Republican Of Virginia. who was a
uniform supporter Of General Jackson, and an
advocate Of the election Of Mr.. Van Buren,.
The writer Of the letter is calm observer Of
things before him, and is not likely TO be him
self deceived, nor 10 deceive others:
"A decided reaction in public sentiment, in Vir-
ginia, is setting in in favor of Mr.. Rves. A calm
and dispassionate investigation Of the course of
events has satisfied, and is satisfying many that he
is an injured and a prosecuted man. and that he is
yet decided and undertaking Republican Of the
Jeffersonian school. They acknowledge that he is
not Of that modera school OF Democratic Republi
canism which changes its principles with every
change OF the moon, but that he is Of the true
changing and interchangeable faith. Mr.. Rves, al
though believe he will may not be reelected to the
Senate the next session Of the Legislature yet, mark
what say his defeat will seal the fate of the ad-
minisiraion in Virginia. The representation in
the Legislature is not a true test Of the popular will
in the Stale. on account Of The irregulary Of the
population Of the counties; and the arbitrary ar
rangement of the representation.
"But when the whole State comes TO vote in mass,
the prescription Of Mr. Rives will exhibit fearful
diminuion in the ranks of the friends OF the admi-
nistration. Mr.. Richie may present his issues and
with his wonted ardor cry 10 arms-to arms; but be-
lieve me- the people will not sacrifice one of the most
talented, virtuous, and eminent Of Virgna's sons
to crafty the vindictiye feelings Of the powers at
Washington, or to make way for the jarorites Of
Richmond jMato. The people Of Virginia are be-
ginning to Judge of men by their actions and their
virtues and not according to the Representations Of
them BY those pure most hoy and disne rested bodies
called cliques and untos which have SO long exerted
such balefu influence upon the moral principles
of our government The people are beginning to
find that to disagree with President is not necessa
rily an abandonment of Republican principles, and
are as ready TO sustain Senator against the power
OF the Executive, the Executive against the power
the Senate whenever truth requires it. The syco-
plants Of party and the aaerers Of power may con-
tinue to amuse and console the President with the
cry "aps ,eeH," but can assure him all is not we'll
| tell him in the utmost sincerity of my heart, that
with the sacrifice Of Rives, who has not sinned
agains, the true faith Of the Republican Church, VII
g,nia Is lost 10 him and forever.

and nearly exclusive gold medium. 1t then
undertakes to show that this country can do
the same The enlightened Americans to so
to the Castilians Of Cuba, to learn lessons on
finance and currency! This would be the
march Of intellect, but backward one. ,.
The same Globe has a communication, the
object Of the writer Of which is, to excite
the laboring classes against all the banks in
the country.
Disappointed and defeated in all his promi-
nent measures, the organ Of the Executive
would encourage spirit to execute the dia-
bolical purpose Of destroying the institutions
Of the country, without regard to the ruin
which it would infict upon thousands of the
aged, infrm, and women and children who
derive revenue from them, on which they
