CONGRESSIONAL REFORM. :.

We are glad that MIR. C. Johnson, Of Tenn,
has moved in great matter of Congressional
REFoaM at this session. 1t will be seen from

know what they have done-snd that while, by
another resolution the few circulars emanating
from the Executive Departments, are ordered TO
be put up AT public auction and Knocked down

HON. CHARLES A. WICKLIFFE.

One Of the best evidences that Mr.. Tyler has given
or could give Of saeacity clear-sghtedness, was
exhibited in the selection Of Mr.. Wckllfe to preside
over tho Post Office Department The duties of
Postmaster General are of most arduous and highly
responsible character and require energetic and
untiring mind to superintend them. Probably no
department Of the Compartment is more intricate in
ali its enthusiastically has suffered more at
different times from the want of vigilance and proper
skill TO manage it Added to this fact is another,
which was calculated to make any mans position
embarrassing who had charge of the Depa rtment

has been commenced and carried on by a consdt ra-
BILE portion Of the American people which has had a
tendency to cmbarrass the Post Office, and cripple
its energies The people have been clamorous for
reduction of postage, and many---too many we re-
greet TO ssy--have deliberately determined to break
down the Post O&cc, II they could not effect reduc-
ton Of postage. What Congress has neglected TO do
the public have attempted to force from tho Depart
ment itself Private mails have been established in
the principal cities Of the Union, the effect Of which
has been to diminish largely the receipts OF the Gen
era Post Office, and to require the most rigid econo-
my to enable il TO meet its necessary expenses
