MERCANTILE LIBRARY REroRN.-Asi II Is under
stood that the presen, able and learned Librarian
has rendered his resignation TO the Board OF Drec-
tors would suggest plan of economical retIench-
ment, as follows The present salaries paid, are
TO the Librarian, $500 to the Assistant, $500; TO
the ID Assistant, Ia boy) 500; TO the Porter, say
$500 STote, $1,000 per annuni.
As the Library is now in excellent condition and
order, would suggest 10 employ but one Librarian
with salary of $500, with two capable snd inielIl;
GENT bows as assistants, al $50 each. This would
make, with the porter, Slloo per annun, and save
to the Association yearly, the snug sum OF SoVV to
eXpend in useful books.
Instead of placing constant atendan; IN the
reading room as contemplated. would suggest,
iha, by adopting the plan OF tables as in the Soeie-
" Library, the expense, of constant attendant
can be avoided -Four tables should be made with
slips upon the tops for periodicals. Two OF them
contain all the periodicals OF the last month received:
to be carried from the table where they belong.

FOR THE MADisoNiAN.
HON. GEO. w. HOPKINS.

Mr. EpIroR: The Baltimore Sun Of this morning
heads an article Enemies 10 the spread Of Knoscedgs
In which there is an beral allusion made to the
Hon. George w. Hopkins, because he offered an
amendment to the Post Office reform bill, so as to
enable that Department to sustain itself without be-
coming burden to the Government IL the Balti-
more Sun intends to convey the idea that George
W. Hopkins is enemy to the spread of knowledge,
the allusion is not only grauous, but Is not found.
ed in truth; for he is one of the most liberal men up
on the subject Of education in the noble old State
which he has had the honor in part to represent for
the last ten years. The penny press has taken up
the idea that The Post Office Department was estab-
lshed for their especial benefit as 1t IS to be pre-
sumed from the of the article alluded to, that
they alone are the receptacles Of knowledge. II
such is their meaning, it is indeed sad mistake; and
they will find out that the People and the country
press are not disposed to tax themselves unnecessa-
rily for the express purpose of allowing these self
styl led luminaries Of knowledge to dIfuse it. The
true policy of the Government, is to tax the People
lightly as possible, and those who desire the benefits
flowing from the Post Office Department should
bear the burden Colonel Hopkins is ardently in ia
vor of modification Of the Post Office laws and he
proposed fire and ten cents as the maximum rates Of
postage, so as to enable the Department to sustain
itself without becoming burden upon the Treasury
and little did he expect, as he was about to retire
from the turmoils of public life, that his path would
have been eclipsed by such luninary Of knopledg,
as the Baltimore Sun. The rays of its light are mo-
powerful enough to bewider Colonel Hopkins, so as
to make him depart from the true path of public
duty LITTLE TENNESSEE.
