Editorial Correspondence.
H. r. WASHINGTON, Stature

H. r, WASHINGTON. Saturday, Dec 5
While the House is hard at work eecting a
Chaplain, let me glance over it, and see what
material it affords for chapter on Post Office
Reform.
This morning the Members found on their
desks some five or more copies each of Docu-
ment OF nearly thousand pages from the Post
master General, embodylng statement Of all
the offers for Mail Service for the year 1912,
specifying those which were accepted For
printing this document-ior an extra number of
which can imagine no possible use-the Trea-
sury has doubtless suffered at least Three Thou
sand Dollars, being fully $4,000 thrown away
and now the Post Office itsclf-or rather, the
payers OF Postage-must stand the next intllction
Here is something like ton of useless matter,
probably equal to the full weight Of the
| whole Letter Mails to-day passing over all
the routes through the Union. These docu
ments, having been addressed by the Hon
Members with g Free-Tom. Tompkins, NJ c.
tackled on, are now being carried out of the House
by arms-full and bags-full into the Congressional
Post Office, whence they Will be transported a,
another charge to the Government in the City
Post Office There the Government will STOP
paying on them and put the rest of the load on the
Business of the Country,-on the Poor and undis
tinguished, who are hardly known to MICS except
at Elections-on the widow who receives few
dollars by Mail from her son at work away from
her or Just returned from sea to distant port
| The hod-carrier, the boatman, the sick among
strangers, who receives some pttance of his hard
earnings through the Mail or writes letter to his
friend or his creditor, must pay twice what he
ought for the carriage, IN order that this noun
tain of spoiled paper may be sent at free cost tc
men who viii hardly consider it worth the
nothing it costs them And this fragrant abuse
is likely to be still farther perpetuated in this
beautiful land of Republican Equality!
Friends of Post Office Reform | assure you
after extensive inquiry and observation, that you
must WORK if you desire any essential reduction
OF your useless burdens at this Session. The De
partment is against you-the private interest and
personal consequence of the Members of Congress
are against you. 1t is easy and gratifying to each

Correspondence Of the y. 7. Tribun

PHILApELpHI., Dec. ls-P NJ.
In the midst of so much excitement, so many con-
hlctng statements, prevailing throughout the whole
OF city yesterday, it difficult to furnish a
correct account Of the disgracetul conduct of the
Paramount and independence Hose Companies, so
long notorious for their murderOus attacks upon
their brother fremen. The torch of the incendiary
was applied TO Peter Lebert & Co.'S extensive lunl-
ber-yard, kenslngton, at early hour, which,
together with an ad jonine frame building, was in a
few hours entirely DESTROYED. Messrs l.. q Co..
are, am pleased to add, fully insured.
But no sooner had the flames abated than the
members OF the independence Hose Company 10
Gated III kenslngton, made assault upon tiie
members OF the Northern Liberty Hose a' oft-
ners Tavern and after tearing off their equipments
dashlng tumbers, decanters and o'hef dangerous
missiles at the members of the Liberty, many Of
whom were awfully cut, the floor OF the bar-room
being covered with blood. the cry OF The Car
rage was raised, but fortunately the villains were
not successful in getting hold of il, and the Liberty
members withdrew hastily from the spot.
AS the carriage of the Weccacoe Hose Company,
located in Catherne-street, Southwark, had just
passed over the High Bridge, on its return home,
with not more than seven members attached to the
rope, premeditated and murderouS attack was
made upon them by about l50 rufians, members OF
the Paramount Eng Inc Company armed with clubs,
stones and it is said, also, many seen TO have
small axes and large butcher-knives! The assaied

revenge goaded the breasts Of his brother hremen
and friends he was discovered, having been cut and
bruised 10 such an extent that he vas unable to

The beautiful carriage of the Weccacoe, worth
probably fifteen hundred or two thousand dollars,
