Washington Gossip.

The latest reports from Washington indicate
that John Tyler has intimated his willingness to
nominate Mr.. Van Buren, for Justice OF the su-
preme Court if he will agree to accept-with the
understanding, of course, that Van, percesng
the hopelessncss OF his own election, will throw
in for the Captain Another rumor says that
TYLER, if the worst comes to the worst, will throw
in for Van, if Van will agree to appoint nm to
the supreme Bench We arc confident the Sage
Of Lindenwald is TOO shrewd politician to make
or meddie with John Tyler-we could almost be-
lieve him too sensible to the hishonor II would re-
feet on New.York to do any thing OF the sort.
1t is pretty certain that John has put out 1
fceler for Senator Allen, Of Ohio, 10 accept his
vacant Secretaryship Of the Treasury; but Allen
is not 80 green as to take tive wish he would,
as we would like to see two Wings from Ohio IN
the next Senate.
There is no doubt, we believe, that Calhoun IS
tired of being John Tyler's subordinate, and I'M
patient to get away but he cannot till the Texas
Treaty has been rejected. Ut will receive from
8 to u votes) Pm. General Wickliffe is to go
out soon, (for which we are devoutly thankful,
whoever may succeed him j and MIR. Attorney
General Nelson will not stay long. Tyler is like
child, that wants new set Of play things
quite often.

The Postage Reform.
Correspondence OF the Evening fost-i
WASHINGTON. May Is, ls|+, : clio


WAsHISGroS May l5 1874. : o CLOCK.
Our hopeful Post-ofice Committee have al
length reported. And 1t appears that the esti-
mate which | had formed of the Iberality OF the
ideas of the majority OF the committee proves to
have been very accurate. The following IS an
extract from the report: :" To substitute the hvc
for the six cents rate, which covers thirty miles,
to extend the ten cent rate over the twelve ana d
half cent rate, which covers the distance from
80 to $50 miles to adopt ID III leu OF the pres
ent Isl cents rate, which reaches to 4oo mics J
to introduce the 20 cent rate, which suPercedcs
the present % cent rate for those distances, ana
to leave the % cent rate to cover all distances
over 65G miles, is the scale of postage which the
committee prefer" And this is scale which IS
carried out in the bill presented.
They suppose, leaving all the other regulations
of the Department as they now are, this trivial
reduction in the rates would lead to deficiency
of more than 100000 year IN the Post-oitice
Department This deficit the committee propose
to make up by making the ranked correspond
ence of post-masters, Of certain officers oil the
Government, and OF members OF Congress during
the recess, a direct charge upon the Government,
by the suppression of the private expresses, ana
by the slight increase of correspondence which
thew estimate would be the result OF a concur
renee in their views
This is Just such a doughty reform as told
YOU was to be expected from this committee the
moment | heard it announced The minority
are men of another style of thinking.
They are MI Grinnell, of Massachusetts; Mr..
Dana. of New.York, and Mr.. jerks, OF Penn
svlvania They propose to reform the rates OF
postage in this WISE on letters for 22O miles, hive
cents on those going 600 miles, ten cents; and
for all distances beyond this, fifteen cents. The
reports and bills from both parties were referred

They have done their worst now, and at the
worst time, but never mind. Every friend Of

Friends of intelligence in Congress the session
wears apace and we can have the Senate bill or
nothing-that is the choice. AS TO the mockery

the People-but it cannot pass. Give US the
Senate bill, and little experience will teach us
how to improve it.

Re,renchment at West Point.

We rejoice to learn that Hon. ii. FISH OF tins
City has submitted to the House bill to re-
trench the expenses and reform sundry abuses at
the U. s. Military Academy at West Point
This bill provides for the gradual absorption OF
the supemumerary Lieutcnants into the Army
and their reduction in numbers by DISMISSAL
The paw of the Professors, Teachers, Cadets, and
other persons about the establishment, is reduced
considerably. The whole saving effected, II Its
provisions arc carried out. will be about $50, 900
year. The bill was referred to the Committee
of the Whole, where we heartily trust 1t may
have good deliverance. There is no greater
abuse under the Government than that of educa-
ting small class of young men at the expense
of the whole People, and paying them SIS per
month therefor, beside their living. Beside, they
ought TO be required to perform some service in
return for the education so generously given
them Now, half OF them never enter the SER
vice at all We rejoice that Reform has reached
this institution at last.
