a distinl, uished advocate and lawyer; or at most,
as an able Executive of one OF the remote western

In the discharge of his official duties Mr. Wcklife
has, doubt been greatly aided in his labors by the
talented and experienced men by whom he Is sur
rounded in the vari ofic of his depaf tment -
With this important branch of the Government thus
ably represented in its head and in those entrusted
with the discharge OF its several duties, what may
not the public anticipate from management here
after if they will but aid in carrying out the various
reforms and improvements hich have recently been
projected. That all have deep interest in SO doing,
can not for moment be doubted. There IS hardly

HON. CTIAS. A. WICKLIFFE AND THE POST
OFFICE DEPARTMENT.


At no period since the organization of the Federal
Government, have the affairs of the Post Office De-
parment been con ucted with greater ability than at
the present. Although IL months have not elapsed
since Mr. Wickfe came into flee, yet in no ether
hands have greater number of important and salu-
ary changes taken place in the general supervision
of its operations On every hand is seen and felt the
influence OF a clear and vigorous intellect, of sound,
practical business talent Many venerable and time
strengthened abuses have already been completely
rooted out and corrected. Many antiquated rules
and regulations have been either totally abolished
so modified and ameliorated to harmonic with the
present condition and wants of the Department Nu-
merous drains upon its revenues ave been inquired
into and corrected, and many others still in pro-
gress of correction.
In the first annual report of Mr.. Wcklife submit
ted to Congress but two brief months after his APP
pointment, 1t announced that the yearly deficit
of the revenues of the Department, amounting to
$3.50 000 would hereafter be made up by the OF era
ION Of the various reforms which had already been
determined upon, and were about to be introduced.
From what has since been accomp ished, there can
be doubt but this will be the result Tor the cur
rent, unless, from the general depression of bus-
ness, there should prove to be very material dim-
mutton of the post office receipts throughout the couh
try. Should such be the Result no higher encommm
could be passed upon tho administration OF the
Post Office Department, than to point TO tins slmp.e
fact.
When il is considered how widely extended are
the duties of its head, ana how vast and complicated
those duties have now become-it will readi be ad

Tor such an undertaking. But commanding as are the
powers Necessary for the accomplishment Of the task
upon which Mr. Wickhiie has entered, he has, thu

no means to mu to predict, from what has already
been accomplished that the present Postmaster Gen

Georgia whiggery has taken ano her twist, remark
able for that party which is proverb for mex
plcabe gyrations. 1t is but few weeks since they
soemnly gave in their adhesion to MIR. Clay nomina-
ting him for their Presidential candidate; and now
the leading organ has taken strong ground against
Mr.. Cay's favorlte measures as peculiarly hostile to
the Southern States. They knew well month
ago, as they do now, that Protective Tariff and
the distribution of the proceeds OF the land sales
were Mr. Cay's cardinal doctrines, and that on every
vote in Congress, the whole of the Clay party ex-
cept two ,hree erratic Georgians, are for high
tariff and distribution. They have SEEM that de-
termned the Clay party on having them, that
they are willing to risk the whole revenue power,
and the means by which the government is kept in
motion, to get them, together. They see, too the
whole Clay press, north, east d west, full OF indiS-
nation and Remuneration against the President for de-
leatng this scheme by his veto, and protecting the
compromise settlement of the tariff as the faith OF
the union pledged for the protection of the South,
against the assaults of Mr.. Clay and his party.
Nevertheless, at this time, with the name of MIR.
Clay at the head of its columns its candidate for
the Presidency the Georgia Journal, the wing organ
the capital Of Georgia, earnestly sustains Mr. ~
Ter for Exercising the reto poace for the protect on o.
the South, and Southern interests" The Journal not
only approves of this veto, but calls upon President
TYLER to veto every 'smilar Bill" that may be pre-
scrped to him And it argues for the exercise of
this power not only from his duty to the South but
from his obligation to carry out the pledges OF the
Ha rson party in 1910! In any body else but a
Georgia nullIffer, it would be astonishing to find the
conflict between these doctrines and the acts of the
same men. They praise the President fer defending
the South against the schemes of Mr. Clay, while they
are laboring to put Mr.. Clay into the President
place, to carry out his schemes. They hail this
exercise of the veto as the shield of the South against
their own political associates, and identified with
the party which is plotting 10 impeach President
for so using it, and advocating chief who goes ior
abolishing the power! They are grateful to Mr.. 1y
Ter, for mterposihg to save them from Mr. Clays
enmity, while they are striving to put Mr. Clay IL
Mr.. Tyers place, and helping him to remove the
constitutional check, by which President hereafter
might aid them in resisting similar encroachments

The duty on sheattimg copper was laid to
protect five rolling establishments, that being

and the eggs will keep perfectly fresl, and

family has kept them in this manner three
years, and found them sil as good as they
were when laid down. / believe we have
never had bad egg since we commenced
preserving them in this manner. The
trouble is comparatively nothing. for when
we have dozen or SO more than we wish

kle them over with salt; and when a. any
future time we wish to take them out.

Every man by this process may have
eggs as plenty in winter as in summer
aud farmers who make business Of SELL
ing their eggs. may easily calculate the
profits Of preserving them in summer and
selling them in winter. Eggs where |
live sell frequently in summer at s cents,
and in winter as high as 3s cents per doz.
In view of these various considerations,
