Correspondence of the Free Press.

ANEW lOthS Juuo ~ AoAA
You will of course have seen in the
Washington journals full details of the pro-
cecdings in Congress, up to the present time.
The plan for a National Bank. brought for
ward by Mr.. Clay, very nearly resembles
that reported, in answer to call of the sem
ate, by the Secretary ofthe Treasury. The
main point of Indifference is in the article, con-
fcrring power upon the Mother Bank, to es-
tablish agencies wherever she plcases. MIR.
Secretary Ewing is for at least waving this
this right and for giving to the central bank
only, the power of establishing Branches in
those States which, may previously have Civ
en- their consent. There can be no doubt
that should any state refuse to have Branch,
within her borders, the worst would be her
own. She would certainly be the greatest
sufferer: and there can be but little doubt
that even New-Elampshirc herself, would
gladly embrace the opportunity of hugging
the young monster to her bosom. But did
YOU ever hear SO ridiculous threat as. that
uttered by Mr.. Demostlcncs Allen, from
Ohio, in the Senatel This valiant dema-
eoeue, who obtaiued his scat in the Senate by
one ofthe vilcst acts ofparty chicanery, that
ever disgraced any State, and who now
stands in the Senate, an opponent OF
the Administration, representing State
which gave more than 10000, majority
to bring it into power, declares that
if they charter Bank, he will instantly
introduce bill to repeal ii,and wiH press it
until it be done He has about two years
longer to serve in Congress.
On one account the ground taken by Mr..
Ewing is to be regretted: it may lend coun-
tenancc to the impression that the constitu-
tonality Of the Bank of the u. States is still
question open for discussion. Now it must
be evident to every one that if there is such
a thing as final decision upon any constltu-
tonal question, that decision has been given
in this case. All the farmers Of the Constitu-
ton have recognized its constlutionaity, and
the Supreme Court Of the United States, the
body whom the Constitution itself, has YES
ted with power to pronounce definitely and
dccisively upon Its intent, has sanctioned the
practice for fifty years. The question has
come before that Court in various ways, and
they have uniformly declared the consiitu-
tionality of National INSTITUTE n. Why
then, do we concedc anything which shall
even bear the scmblancc of doubt upon
this oft decided point!

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT..
We copy from the New Yorker the fol-
loving abstract of the appendix to the p. NJ.
Generals report.
Mail Contracts-Among the documents
communicated to Congress by the Presidcn,
with his Message, were several papers
from the several Departments appended to
to the general statement from each. One
of these from the Postmaster General states
that the Mail Contracts for New York and
New England (all of which expired on the
30h of June last) amounted heretofore to
S795, 44S per annum. OF these, no routs,
which heretofore cost S672,3SS, lave been
re-let at an aggregate charge of S524, O33,
giving net saving Of Sl4S ,455, or about %
per cent! This cost may be slightly increas-
dby necessary Improvements on some rouis,
but probably not SO as to reduce the saving
below 30 per cent.
Sixty two rons remain inlet, simply be-
cause the p. NJ. General will no, submit 10
fragrant extor,ion. They are the Rail Road
and Steamboat Routs, which were last taken
for the aggregate sum of lIO,253, but for
! which SlS5,Sll, is now dcmanded-an in
crease of near 20 per cent For example,
the New ork and Ncw-IIaven mail has
cost $4,000 per annum; the bid is now
$4,000! From New Haven to Hartford,
the Railroad has had S5.OOO;i now de-
mands $1,000; the Springfield and Worccs-
ter Railroad asks an increase from 81 200
for daily to sd 900 for two-dail mail ;
and the Utica ana Syracuse, Syracuse and
Auburn, and other Railroads demand similar
additions, although there is decrease in the
Post Office Revenue on nearly every rout.
We trust this attempt at eytortion-appar-
entity ,prcconcerted-wi be defeated.
The actual deficiency in the Post Office
Revenue on the lst of February last was, as
near as can be ascertained, 1854 1896.
Mr.. Whittlesey, Post Office Auditor, re-
ports that the most energetic measures are
now in progress against delinquent Postmas
tiers, of whom there are no less than 1887
apparently indebted to the Government in
sums varying from a few dollars to MANY
thousands. A great part of this is of course
hopelessly lost but considerable portion
will be collected by systematic and resolutc
exertion.
