THE SOUTHERN MAIL.

Mr. Holmes, Of Charleston, has been on visit to
the Postmaster General with view Of remedyinp the
shocking irregularities Of the Southern mail The
following is extract from letter of his dated Wash
ngton, November g. published in the Charleston pa
pers
The prompt, determined course Of the merchants
OF Charleston has reused the Post Office Department
and not little alarmed the several railroad companies
interested in carrying the mails. ! heard Mr.. Niles
say to one Of the officers of his Department that he had
not exacted the fines sufficiently severe and that he
resolved, that unless the companies settled their dis
putes In a short time, new arrangement would be
made. These disputes are undoubtedly the principal
causes the failure of the mail have spent most of
my time since leaving Charleston in endeavoring to
adjust the differences between the several companies
The North Carolina company sent on four of the Di-
rectors with me to Portsmouth-there we had long,
vexaous, but ultimately successful consultation with
the Portsmouth directors II was finally agreed to
sell to the Petersburg company half the bridge
the Roanoke. This contract requires the sane
ton of the Petersburg Railroad Company and al
though | anticipate some objection, yet think the
| agreement will ultimately be confirmed / told the
Postmaster General that had assured the companies
that unless they settled their differences the mails would
be taken from them He said | had done right, and
had no doubt my decision would operate well. shall
obtain information upon this subject perhaps this
ming My next effort will be to get another hour for
running Of the Portsmouth and Petersburg cars, SC
that they might, with certainty meet at Garys
burg This must be effected by altering the Northern
time for one hour-not very easy matter it is true
but my motto is NEVER DESPAIR"

upon Gov. Porter. The following extracts from ii
exhibit the temper OF the View y..L -focns
The doctrines of expediency time serving, tenn
porisng expedency, obtained the ascendancy, while
the stern and unbendng principles Of democracy in
stead Of standing out in bold relief the head and
front Of your system Of policy, only introduced
when the failure OF the miserable shifts which you
resorted, left other alternative Your conduct sir
this occasion any thing but creditable and has
resulted in the defeat Of the democratic party through
out this county.
Your turn comes next, and the opinion which
your constituents have formed of your agency will
be apparent when they shall be called upon the next
canvass to adjudcate between your claims and those
of your opponent, whoever he may be. The war
however, of antagonist principles is not yet ended
the agony of suspense is not over the democratic
party though defeated, has not been conquered, and
circumstances yet to develope themselves, may make
it necessary for you either take the front rank in the
grand rally of its scattered forces which will soon
take place, or to seal your doom by open alliance
with the enemy. Your course must be onward or
backward, and you may elect either to advance

not one half Of our papers reach their subscribers
regularly, and we know that one half Of our own
exchanges reach inegularly as to be USE
less For example, Boston papers of Nov. 4. reached

at ALL and sometimes two three copies of the same

VIRGINIA


Albemare county, the residence of Hon w G.
Rives and for many years the residence of Je6erson
gave Harrison majority Of 1877. 1t is thus noticed
in the Charlottesville Advocate:
ALBEMARLE
Let other counties have gone they may in the re-
cent contest, deem it due to old Albemarle to say
that she has done her duty. We had many dsadyan
tagcs to contend against. 1t will be remembered that
here the great Locofoco Humhug Convention was
held During its sitting thousands of msrepresenta
tons and alsehoods poured into the of the
people which necessarily went uncontradicted
We have believed that of the chief objects
in holding their Convention here to make an
impression this the great county of the state Be-
sides this have been deprived for several months Of
the services of our very able and eloquent elector Mr.
Southal!.-Evcry man Of the party, from Col Ran
doph, the Van Buren, eector, down to the lowest sea
venger has spared no pains has left stone unturn
ed by which service to be rendered to the of
the Sweet little fellow" When all these things are
considered repeat that Abemarle has done her du-
ty. We not only retained Spring majority, but
increased ii a little.

The circulation. of the Madisonan during the
past season has been about $4,000. Many OF
the copies, say 1900. Were subscribed for only
until the Presidential election. Some of the
residue continue until the 9TH of March, but the
greater proportion are subscribers for year or
more. The present circulation of the Madso-
man, therefore, is not far short OF $4,000, and
the number of permanent subscribers is daily
increasing This is gratifying evidence Of the
extent OF the ASSOCIATION OF readers represented
by the Madisonian. The growth of this associ-
alton has been rapid, and is becoming stronger
and stronger, and more and more extensive. In
1897, we had but about 1900 subscribers--we
have since multiplied those hundreds by tens.
| The largest proportion OF the subscribers have
been in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama Con
necticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia,
Kentucky and Louisiana, have supplied con
siderable share, and the paper is forwarded TO
numbers, larger or smaller, in every state OF the
Union. Ii these readers are cooperating for a
common purpose, the Madisonian informs each
one of them what all the others are doing. Ad-
dressing each in the name of all the others, lis
influence over them must be in proportion to
their individual weakness, If not their aggregate
power. The audience we habitually address
cannot be less than 80 900. Both is extent and
character impose on US the highest and most de-
licate responsibility We believe them to be
fond OF Liberty, attached to our institutions and
above all, loving Democratic equality We dc
not believe they would hear us one moment il
they should ever have cause TO suspect that on
doctrines or our wishes tended to initiate against
their love of equality We should not wish
! them TO do so, because if our course should have
that tendency, il would be in such direct opposl.
ton 10 our own fixed principles and feelings, that
we could only have fallen into it by some unlor.
tunate error in judgment for which we should
reproach ourselves.

FOR THE MApTsoNlAN

FOR MADIsoNIAN.
Allow me to call your attention very briefly to the
following extract from the address of the Central Van
Buren, Committee of Tennessee
So well satisfied was General Jackson of General
Harrisons federal views and avowed principles, as well
of his untness TO represent the interests of the
United States as Minister abroad, that one of the
first acts of his Administration, after he assumed the
Presidential Chair was to recall him minister to
Columbia, and to appoint another in his stead and,
perhaps no act of his administration with more
universal appreciation with the Republican party than
did that"
add that it has been stated, | believe correctly,
that on the very day after Gen Jackson Inauguration
he recalled Gen. HARRISON in such haste he.
Jackson has ever been envious Of those
whose merits he thought might come into conflict with
real merit, have striking specimen in his vote
fusing tribute of respect to Washington. Is it any
wonder that such man should recall General Harr-
SOM
But wished to call your attention To the retr-
butive Justice which has taken this vndictve act.
The man whom General jackson thought unworthy
to fill the mission to Columbia whom, in his wrath,
he was in such haste 10 recall, is chosen Prcs
dent Of the United States by immense majority
and among the States which have chosen him, are
General Harrison's State, the State Of Mr.. Van
Buren, the present incumbent, and Gen. Jacksons
own State. How mpotent, sometimes at least,
the envy and malice of power, to fix a permanent
stigma on the character Of an honest incorruptble
public servant PHOCION
