Poer OYYIU 4ANAoEMENr.-We stated, the
other day, that apackage Of copies ofths Ns0 York
Herald was regularly mailed for Fshkiu ia this
State, and three days afterwards was taken from
he Post Office in this city by of our clerks On
the day on which this expose Of Post Office eff
cheney appeared, two Of the clerks of he New
York Post Office, Mr.. William Stewart, who has
discharged the duties of his clerkshlp for fourteen
years, and Mr.. John Shay, who has been employed
for four years, gave us an explanation of the blum
der. II appears that the package was forwarded
to Fishkill as usual. but owing to the laundering
Incompetency of the postmaster in that pleasant vii
lage, it was returned to this city This is only
ofthe innumerasle instances of the blunderng and
inefficiency which have been inflicted upon the
country, in consequence of the wholesale removals
made by Mr. Collamer, the Postmaster General
The same awful confusion in the business opera
tons Of the community, and arrangement Of CORE
spondence took place in the early part of Jackcons
administration, from the same cause.-The conyer-
sion Of the patronage of the Post Office Department
into means of rewarding political friends and
furnishing political foes.
Is there never to be an end to this abomnable
and demoralising system, by which the public
Offices are made the mere Instruments ia the hands
of political adventurers7 The President of the
United States should look into this matter little
more narrowly, and put his foot down. He need
not 90 further than the Post Office at Washington
itself, to find specimen of the bungng manner IN
which the affairs Of this most important department
OF the government are at present conducted Thisis
not matter to be overlooked. There is no depart
ment Of the government which demands the ex-
ercise of more vigilance, judgment, and llberali-
ty on the part Of those entrusted with its manage
ment, than the Post Office department. 1t is d.
recty under the surveillance Of the people, and de-
linquencies and blunders IN its management are at
once detected The President ought TO look close
" 10 this business.

CALIPoRNIA.-ITs Position AND PRosPEcrs.-
There is every probability that the people of Gale
fornia will send delegates to Washington next
sovereign State. There are now twenty thous lnd
emigrants on their way to the land of gold from
the Atlantic coast, and thirty thousand from the
western States. These, when they arrive, will
swell the population to one hundred Thousand or
upwards-considerabl above the amount of popu-
lation required to constitute a State of this con-
federacy.
What singular spectacle is thus presented In
single year, the enterprise, industry and inteli-
gence of the American people, have built up
founshing community in region which, IN the
hands Of the Mexicans, was idle waste for three
centuries. Towns and cities are springing up.
San Francisco is busting mart of trade and COM
merce. New York of the Pacific, located most
favorably, is destined one of these days to be
large and popuous town, and other villages, towns
and cities rapidly growing into Importance
Newspapers are observation-disclosures are built
vessels launched-streets and squares are laid
out and built up-the foundation of republican gov
eminent is lald-all the elements of civiIiz alton
of the most advanced type present themselves.
All this in a region thousands and thousands of
miles of from the farthest frontier Of the United
States! The history of the world affords no pa
rallel TO this extraordinary movement. OF course,
there will be great contest for the post OF United
States senators and representatives. The mileage
will be tremendous. 1t will far exceed that of the
most remote member of the American Congress.

In healthy and prosperous condition, there is
nothing within the extent Of our vision, calculated
to prevent expansion in prices for stocks beyond

reach that point wide margin has yet to be covered
and the bulls who have avaied themselves Of the

The PRESERVATION OF FLAG TO THE BREMEN
CAPTAINS The ceremony of presenting German
flag 10 the captains of the Bremen ships In the port
OF Lafayette, came off on Sunday last, and was
one of the most pleasing and interesting ceremonies
we ever witnessed. Since the port OF lafayette
was opened, there have been twenty ships of the
largest class moored along the wharves of our
young sister city, and Of these, fifteen were from
the free city OF bremen. This circumstance very
naturally aroused strong feeling of regard on
the part of the citizens of Lafayette, for their bro
ther republicans OF Bremen. Besides, too m any of
the most wealthy respectable and citizens OF fay
cite came from Bremen, and more than two-thrds
oil the population, whichis mostly from the German
States, embarked tor this country from the port of
Bremen. In addition to these claims, the city of
Bremen has one of the most democratic commu-
mites IN the world, and it's inhabitants, especially
those engaged IN commerce and in the merchants
service, noted all over the world for their
sturdy independence, strong repubcanIsm, and
great enterprise. Very. properly and judcIously,
then, did the good citizens Of Lafayette resolve
upon some appropriate testimonial OF their estee m
and friendship for the citizens of Bremen.-Ne,c
