The Mails.

The ST. Louis RepubceR and other papers in that
city, are complaining of the rreguary of the mails,
and specifically charge upon the post Office at this
place, neglect and bad management. These charges
unjust, few facts will show. The letter mail
for st. Louis and all west, is under the brass
lock to Terre Haute, where its direction is given.
The matter for intermediate Offices is sent under the
iron lock and the Office here has control over mail
matter west of Terre Haute The paper mail for
Suthern Illinois and Missouri is sent in sacks Ia
belled Terre Haute, at which place it is re-assored
to its proper direction. Sacks from the east, say
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Columbus,
Ohio, pass this office, labelled St. LOUIS and conse-
quentIy no intermediate Office has a right to open
them Here probably is where the occur 1t
is not year that this Office makes up sack for
Missouri Our St. Louis friends will thus see that
no blame can be attached to this Office.
While the subject, it will be well to mention the
miserable manner in which the mails are received
here New York and other eastern papers reach here
sometimes by the northern, sometimes by the southern,
by the various cross mails and even by the weSten.
No dependence all be placed on papers coming
by their proper and regular routes. The Cincinnati
papers which should reach here the day after pubca-
ton, are now arriving, three days in one, by the
southern or Madison mai, instead of by the Brook
vile and Lawrenceburgh routes. This renders them
useless when they are received. We also get news
from New Orleans via Boston, earlier than we do
direct from The former. Something is wrong some
where; and with what attention we have been
able to besow on the subject, of the opinion
that the fault is mainly in the large eastern city

1t will be seen by the above table, that in 1912,
for nine months from the LIST of October to June Both,
1913, there only about three millions and half
pounds imported. This was owing to the operation
of the Tariff of August 18th, 1912. 1t sup
posed that this cheap wool was subject to duty Of
80 per cent. and cents per pound. But the manu-
facurers succeeded in getting decision the
trary and il entered at duty Of five per cent.
The importation then began to increase, and the next
year it will be perceived it sweed to the large guam
tity of l4,00S, 40S.
In 1915 it increased much entirely to break
down the price of the American wool. 1t reached
%, S33, GAO pounds divided as follows:
Wool under seven cents per pound, %, 3S2, O97
wool cents per pound 450, 323 S33 040.
Amount of duty collected on % 1872 .097 pounds,
S77, $50 Al.
Duty on same under Mr.. McKay's bill would be
S466, l36 20, being six times as much under the
old law.
The manufacturers have always alleged that this
wool did not interfere with American wool, being
used for blankets and carpets, but recent statistics
show that not than one-fourth of the quantity
is used in all the carpet and blanket manufactures in
the country Besides it is very remarkable that there
should be such monstrous increase Of carpets in the
last three years.

ILLINOIS. Well done, Illinois Nobly, thrice
noby has this gallant State sustained her invncibe
reputation for Democracy. We have not the full
official vote; but sufficient is given in the Register
to enable to state that the democratic majority will
be upwards of Lcenty thousand for Governor and that
six Of the seven Congressman elected Democrats
We are well pleased to that firm and industrious
Democrat, Robert Smith, reelected. The majority in
the House will be only tIty-seuen! enough, as our
wing friends would say, for all practical purposes
and in the Senate, serenteen If we should refuse to
let the wings crow over the enlightened State of North
Carolina no'c, we should consider ourselves really
hardhearted.

To NURsERYMEN.-A Southwestern paper says
eve should be glad if Mr.. Gilett, and other
rymen in Ohio, Indiana etc., would let us know their
price per hundred for two-year-od apple and pear
trees. packed and shipped at point on the Mis-
sssippi. If Western nurserymen would advertise in
Southern papers, stating what varieties of apple and
pear trees they have, and their price per hundred in
lots of from one 10 five hundred, they would find il
greatly to their interest There is much anxiety felt
through the entire Southwest to procure good trees
and many of planting large orchards with the
view of supplying the New Orleans market. The
pear thrives admirably. Early apples most
wanted"

Oe7-The Louisville Democrat has the following:

65-The Louisville Democrat has the following:
"It's amusing to recur to the course of the Wings
in the late election in Indiana.
sFirst Marshall was elected, without doubt; then
the contest was very doubtful; then, perhaps Whit
comb was elected by reduced majority-he might
get 1000. They finally got up, a few of them, to
1000. There they have stopped, You can't get a
word more out of them. We told our readers, from
the first complexion of the returns, that Indiana was
safe. Indeed is was obvious enough. The Wings
had not the smallest ground for their representations
from the first. Democratic majorites fell off some
what in some counties, bat Wing majorities fell of
still more. When Wings wanted to know the truth
about such matters, they ought to have learned, by
experience, to look into the Democrat.
"To-night there is to be Democratic meeting to
rejoice the victory in that State, at the late cleo
ton. The Democrats of Louisville who want TO see
the fun can step over this afternoon at four five
O'Clock, and parake of the joli6cation. The Wings
had their rejoicing in advance, before the result
known. They counted their chickens before they
were batched."
The New York Morning News truly says:
Every effort was made to defeat Gov Whitcomb
All the personal abuse that Federalism could rake up
was poured upon him; but the authors have been
sternly rebuked by the sturdy yeomanry of Indiana
If we have lost the Legislature has been by purely
local questions. Indiana is permanent Democratic
State; and Federalism has chance of again rear
ing its pesiferous head if friends only
themselves"

GOVERNMENT DRArTs.-The Washington Union
in replying to some statements in the newspapers,
respecting Treasury Drafts, says, not draft has been
issued by the United States Treasury, under 500,
and in exact conformity in every respect to the forms
and uniform usages of the department. No treasury
notes have been issued No drafts of any kind have
been issued under the constitutional treasury law
yet When this is done, they will be in exact con-
formity to the law. We understand that no circu-
lating paper contemplated by the secretary,
as the reader will by the reference to his annual
report as the constitutional treasury And further.
that none such will be permitted.

The GRAVE OF RINGGoLD.-Leut. Ridgely, in a
letter relative to the removal of the remains of Major
Ringgold, gives the following description of the
grave at Point Isabel ''The grave presents a
very unique and appropriate resting place for gal
liant soldier. Four posts, ornanented as we'll as the
limited means would allow, are erected, one at each
corner connected by pieces of timber the upper hav-
ing holes bored at every six inches, through which
musket barrels captured from the Mexicans placed
as railing, resting on the lower one; the bayonets
are all hxed and the whole painted black. Appro-

This is an increase of the Wing majority on joint
ballot over last year of eight it being then thirytwo
and now forty.
NORTH CARoLINA.-In North Carolina the Wings
have elected their Governor and Legislature. Mr..
Haywood stands better chance of reelection than
he would if he had served his time out and had come
up for another trial for he has by the resignation o.
his seat the Senate which the democracy of the Old
North State placed him in, thrown himself, body and
soul, into the arms of the Wings. To them, there
FORE can he look with the utmost confidence and from
them is he bound to expect more than he could hope
for from the party he has ingoriously deserted.
We shall not be very much surprised 10 hear his
election by the new Legislature.
The Raleigh Standard states that poll was taken
at the late election about the propriey of establish
ing penitentiary in North Carolina and that there
is a very heavy majority, from $1,000 to 10000,
against such an institution.
MIssoURI.-We have heard enough from various
portions of the State says the ST. Louis American to
be satisfied that the Democratic nominees for Con-
gress nave been elected with the exception perhaps,
of John S. Phelps, who may come in few votes be-
hind Mr. Campbell. SOFT Thirty-nine counties

The Elections.

ILLISos.-The Illinois State Register says: "The
returns come in very slowly. Enough however have
been received to show that the banner Of Democracy,
with victory perched upon it, still waves over the
prairie Stare. The wings have sustained regular
Palo Alto defeat. The democrats have done nobly.
French and Wells are elected by $4,000 majority.
Smith, McClernand, Ficklin, Wentworth, Douglass,
and Turner, are elected TO Congress by majorities
varying from hundreds to many thousands The
Legislature is largely democratic, and the county
tickets have been more than usually successful. We
confess that we were not prepared for so glorious
triumph We feared that general apathy had got
the command Of the democratic force but the result
proves that the democracy train under such Leaders
they awake to their interests, they know their du-
ty to themselves and they have the energy and acti
witty to perform it."
