POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

The Postmaster Generals Report states that
the entire income of the Department, for the year
ending the 3Oth of June last, was S4,e37, 1856 SO,
and that the total amount of expenditures during the
same time, was S4,296,s67 10. In regard to a
reduction of postage it says that if4ongress will

sury, about S750,Oo0, and vii! besides protect the
Department against the abuses of the franking pri
v'lege, and tho inroads upon its revenue by pri-
vate expresses that then the rates Of postage may
be safely reduced. The alIusion TO the abuses of
the ranking privilege comes rather ungraciously
from public officer, who, as the head of the De-
partment, bound to watch over and protect its in
terests' slnned so flagrantly in that way himself,
during the late Presidential canvass. Is il no,

practise an admitted wrong, merely because there
Is no law 10 punish him for it,

THE PROSPECT AHEAD.

The following passage from an article in the
Globe, in reference 10 the late intelligence from
Mexico, seems to look with compacency to two
wars in the prospective:
We take it that the present state OF the relations
between Mexico and this country forbids The ex-
pectation that anything be done by negotiation
TO reconcile Mexico to the admission of Texas into
our Union. Diplomatic alteration in the pre-
sent state Of things can have other effect than
to exasperate the existing animoslties between
the two countries. Indeed, we apprehend it is
the policy Of the Mexican military dictator TO pro-
duce rupture as soon as possible, pasmuch as
he can do nothing towards the recovery ofTexas
with the unassisted resources of Mexico, and as
open war with the United States might, and prob
ably would, draw to his support the purse, and
1t may be the sword of England. The only mode
OF putting an end TO these brooding niscbiefs,
is to make Texas again wha. it once was-a part
OF our Union.-This cannot be hoped for, how
ever until the democratic party obtains ascenden-
cy in the Senate; an event that cannot occur I'M
til after the 18th of March.
An Extra Session, soon after the Fourth of
March, may, not improbably, give the new admin
istration an opportunity to develope its policy at
once in relation to Texas and TO other matters.
The aspect of things is not very promising.

LOUISIANA.

The Governor of Louisiana, either had no power
to reject the Plaquemines fraudulent vote, or de-
cined to exercise it. The vote has been counted
and the Democratic Electors have met and voted
for Polk and Dallas. This is as good encourage
ment to the Pipe-layers as they could ask, to re-
new their frauds in 1913.
The Georgia Journal discloses frauds in Geor-
gia, not less startling, sef-evident and decisive of
the election than those of PIaqnemines. We shall
rePu6lish IFS statement But i, seems almost use
less to expose these things. They who are bene-
fitted by them hold the power Of the country in
Their hands, and the time has passed when Justice
and PGfriotism had more influence than party in.

NEW DoRR MOVEMENT.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
t'more American states that the case of Dorr
Is TO DC brought before the Supreme Cour, of
!he United States, and that the following
grounds will be taken by his counsel:
l. That the &C, Of Rhode Island upon which
Dorr was convicted and sentenced. is repugnant
10 the Constitution Of the United States.
.. That Treason is not crime which can be
committed in State Jurisdiction.
.. That Doris now rghtfully Governor, under
Constitution, or organized Government, duly a.
dopted by the people of Rhode Island, and that,
therefore, the present pretended authorities of the
State have no right to imprison him.
We rejoice sincerely tina, the friends of
Dorr have taken this step, instead Of the more
hostile one recently contemplated. The ef-
feet of a review of the circumstances of the
case by the Supreme Court, cannot fail to be
salutary, in enightening the public mind, and
putting an end TO the excitement which certain
politicians are endeavoring to foment ON the
subject

VIEWS OF MIR. ADAMS.

Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Courier gives the following sketch of the
opinions of John Quincy Adams as to what is
likely TO be the course of the coming admin
istration, as developed in conversation. I, is
Interesting and curious, if not absolutely i'm
por,ant:

on the subject Of the results of the late cleo
ton. His. opinions are of interest at this time.
and he is by no means reserved i'm making
them known. He says that Texas will be
brought into the Union, and tha, the British
government will simply protest against the act,
and avail herself of the example to carry into
execution some of her own designs. She will
me says,) take possession of Cuba, and we
cannot complain of it, after taking Texas
Great Britain, he says, will guarantee to Spain
The same amount of revenue that she now re-
celves from Cuba. AS to France, he saws tina,
Government cannot complain of the act, for
she has taken possession OF Algiers, and Great
Britain will allow her 10 extend her African
possessions as far as she pleases. Mexico, he
says, VIII not make war upon us, on account
Of the annexation
"As 10 the Tariff, lie says it will not be es-
senhally modified during Mr.. Folks Admins
tration The Government will need the whole
oil the present revenue, especially after the an
neXation ofTexas. There must be an increase.
he thinks, of the navy and army, on that &C
count.
"lhe next Presidential contest he thought
would be between Mr.. J. c. Calhoun and MIR.
Wright. MIR. Calhoun would necessarily, in
his opinion, have at least the option of remain
ing in the State Department"

REPEAL OF THE TwENTY-rrFrH RULE

The quetness with which This Rule was allow
ed to be abroga,ed, by the Southern wing of the
Democracy in Congress, is matter of perfect
wonder and establishment to all who preserve
any recollection of the FIRE and fury thew have
dlsplayed, on former occasions, when this sub
]ect was approached. The renowned Bonn
bastes Furioso himself, (to all appearances, J
was not more resolutely determined, when he
swung his boots to the limb of tree, with the
naughty proclamation affixed
"Whoevcr dares these Doors displace,
Must meet BoMBAsrEs face face !"-
than were these gentlemen that the aforesaid
hULe should not, upon any ground, pretext, or
apology whatsoever, be touched. And yet it has
been touched-yea, cast down and ,rampled upon.
In the very presence of Rhett and Holmes, and o.
theirs of the pumed Chivalry-wi.hout a word
not even an imploring cry of $50, don't 20 from
one OF their lips. Is not this most marvellous 2
what sudden panic was it that seized these G..
Ver-forward, ever-fiaming champions of Southern
rights! They show by their silent votes against the
repeal of the Rule. that they still hold to its expe-
dency, and we must presume also to their former
views as to its necessity and IMPORTANCE to the
ed for Surely their courage was never known
to fail before, where words were only used and
this increases the mystery. The following sur
misses of the National lntelligencer on the sub
Ject, although not very creditable to the Chival-
ry, may nevertheless be true-and they are GER
tainly plausible
GAS there was no debate-as even the habi.ual
aiarmists were Suddenly still-the motives of the
decision, the causes which brought it about, are
matters accessible only to conjecture. That con-
lecture is, however, somewhat general and some
what clear, that if no actual bargain was at the
bottom of the thing, there was at least an excel
lent understanding. 1t is not unusual for ex-
tremes to meet. "a felow-feelng makes us
wondrous kind" says the poet sympathy be-
gets sympathy association in joint enterprises
and hazards, engenders love; love finds all sac
rlfices easy sacrifice must be paid with sacrifice;
and surely the Abolitionists, who could aid in the
election of the Texas candidates, and in the adj
vancement of the Texas party, were entitled from
these IN particular, and from the Democratic party
at large, to at least the humble remuneration Of
this repeal"

ILLEGAL VOTING in NETWORK.

The New-Tork correspondent Of the National
lnteligencer states that there have been two tri-
ais in that city lately for illegal voting. In both
cases the accused were found guilty. One of
them was sentenced to the pententiary for six
months, being nonresident, and unnaturalized.
The other, for voting in two separate districts,
was sent to the same place for two years. If the
