sance have thus been made public. We shall see
whether the Common Council or the Chief Eagi-
neer will come off victorious.
We have, from time to time, accused the present
Common Council of weakness, imbecility, and cor
ruption, and. in doing 80, considered we were only
dischsrging our duty as an independent journalist
We have felt that our municipal government was
badly and corruptly conducted, and ~e are now
more than ever convinced of it. We have been
confirmed in our views by this brochure OF the
Chief Engineer OF the Fire Department. and II we
are not much mistaken, it is only the beginning OF
the end Other matters will become public, and
other Developments will yet be made, that will
astonish the unsuspecting public as much as these
revelations have, ana verify the opinion which We
have frequently expressed thu bad, corrupt, imbe-
cile and weak as previous Common Councils
have been, the party at present in power completely
take the rag from the bush, and are unapproached
and unspp roachable--t none but themselves can
be their parallel.

POSTAGE RRDUcTIoN.-We should like to see
something done in the way of reducing letter post
age before the adjournment of the present session
of Congress, but we fear that we shall not have
that plee sure, However, we deem it advisable to
refer to the subject occasionally, not for the pur
pose OF creating public opiripn concerning reduc-
lion, for we believe that there ever WAS reform
talked of on which the opinion o, people was 90
unanimous as this. Almost every erson and
newspaper journal In the country is ia iAvor of a
uniform letter postage of FIVE cents, while some 60
30 tar as to advocate only two cents. The same
results that followed the reduction of postage in
England have been experienced here, as will be
seen by the following table, which gives the re-
cepts for several years previous to and after the
last re dnciioa.-

THH MosuNksT TO SuAs WRIeHr. On Tuesday
of last week, an interesting ceremony was per-
formed in the town Of Weybridge, on the occasion
Of laying the espstone Of noble monument OF
green Vermont marble, 10 the memory and the
fame Of Silss Wright. That monument had, by
voluntary offerings Of his fellow citizens, been
erected to their compatriot, OF the loveliest
and loftiesi heights Of the mountains. Ex-Gover-
nor slade presided, and made some appropriate re-
marks. Prof Labaree, President OF Middlebury
College, opened the ceremonies with a solemn
prayer, and Gen Wool after a sketch OF the life
Of Mr.. Wright, laid the capstone. In the presence
Of 1900 people these interesting ceremonies were
performed. There were two men on that ground,
the relics Of effete policy and departed decade
Of the republic. They were Francis p Blair, former
editor Of the Globe, and Martin Van Buren,, whom
poeterry will at various periods ASCERTAIN to have
been one Of the American Presidents II was an in
suuctive and suggestive spectacle to see two such
mere politicians assembled around the monument
Of great and pure man as silas Wright What
ever either Of th,m could do during the lifetime Of
Wright to defeat his destiny or darken bis fame,
they most indusriously performed. II was under

very much tslsment, that he had the fortune or
misfortune-he can take which side Of the dilemma
he chooses-not 10 be present 10 address the con-
venfion. The days Of the Albany regency are as
efectuslly passed away, a. the reign Of the Coun-
ell Of Ten ia the government Of Venice. Around
that tomb were gathered the true and the false
friends Of the great New York Senator. The peo-
pie, who were there by thousands, understood and
loved him. They had erected his monument, and
they venersted his memory. Mr. Blair had sbsn-
doned for the moment some Of his hobbies and hun-
huge, and Mr. Van Buren, had erswled out from his
"heesoil" csbbsges to sun bimselfiu the light Of
other dsys." The preeence Of Gen. Wool re-
heved the whole spectacle from the ridiculous
sspcct Of farce. He, at all events, had rendered
services 10 his country, and he had been q true
and generous friend Of Silss WI INT.
But vithsl IL was q noble spectacle; for Silas

ATLANTIC AND PAcIrrc MAn.s.-The eommuni
cation by mail between the Atlantic cities and San
Francisco, is becoming matter OF great public
Importance.
In the month Of August, the number OF letters
forwarded to California, was 5000, the num-
Der received 5000. Taking this as the aver
eye rate for the year. and the result will be
one million two hundred thousand letters pass.
ing through the mails. The rate Of postage 10 40
cents for a single letter the average is more than
that Of double letter., frequently the postage Is
from 1--WE to ten dollars. Taking the rate Of double
poeisge az the average, and the resuIt 10 iacome
to the poet Office department, 81 eight hundred and
sixteen thousand dollsrs-beipg an excess Of two
hundred and twenty thousand dollars sauu-
ally. over the compensation paid to the two lines
Of mail steamers which carry the contract mails.
This calculation 10 fesnded on the extent Of
business at the preeent time. What will IL be
FIVE years hencei There can scarcely be q
doubt that within the period named, the surplus
income from tbese mail routes will relieve the
public treasury from the entire cost Of the poe,
Office establishment.
The prospective income will be 20 large, that u
must soon become the duty Of Congress 10 reduce
the rate OF postage.

We thus see that there has been q gradual in
crease from the year when the postage was re-
duced 10 the last, contrary to the expectations Of
many, who saw in such reduction nothing but the
bankruptcy Of the Post Office Department There
10 no doubt that the receipts for 1850 viii
exceed the of five millions of dollars, and that
in few years, the government, even if there be no
reduction, will reap considerable revenue from
this source. Satisfactory, however, as the above
table 10, we are certain that the increase in the
post Office revenue would have been much larger
if uniform rate of FIVE cents had been formed
instead of FIVE and ten
There is one argument which can, with great
propriety, be advanced in favor of the reduction
Of postage II is this: that it will strengthen the
bonds Of union between the several States of this
Union in a very great degree, by formng an in
creased community of sentiment as well AZ Of in
tereet. The different sections of the country do
not correspond, or interchange sentiments as freely
now as they Ould if the tax for transmitting let
tiers was FIVE cents, instead Of ten. The result
would BE-, that they would understand each other
better than they do all subjects Of interest," local
and general As it 10, the only method of inter-
changing sentiment 10 through the medium Of
political journals, which care little for reporting
public opinion correctly, If il interfere with the
interests Of the party to which they are attached
Very often those papers make il point to misdrect
their readers on subjects on which it is important
they should be correctly and accurately informed
Let us instance the state Of public feeling in the
Northern States, on the subject Of slavery. Very
many-we might say majonty-of our Southern
felow-citizens entertain erroneous impressions
concerning this matter. From the speeches thst
are sometimes made IN township and county meet
ings, we have seen the Northern States represented
a. banded together for the owed purpose of over
turning the social institutions Of the South, and
bringing about the abolition of slavery in defiance
Of the constitution, and without regard to the
lamentsble consequences which would certainly
follow. The same has been observed In other
matters of LEES interest.
The facility Of cheap letter communication be-
tween all paris If the confederaey is Of initiate
more importance than revenue, and the reasons
we have given should be advanced In favor Of .
reduction in postage. Rather than the facility
should not exist, we would have the whole expense
Of carrying the mails charge on the revenue Of
the country, from other sources But there is no
danger that the post Office revenue would decrease;
on the contrary, there he best to believe
that il would increase from year to year. az il has
done in England, under the operation Of charge
Of two cents.

CLOSE OF TIE FAsMosABLK SEASON AT TIE
SouTH.-A grand tournament, a IA Egiinios~
has terminated the season at that romantic water
ing place, the Virginia Springs. The queen Of
beauty, the maids Of honor, the armed knights the
nchly csparisoned horses the whole scene in fact.
as we have had fully described in our columns,
was one OF great interest. This Is a poetical way
Of winding up q season: Balls are perfect follies
in hot weather. The close room-ths want Of va.
riety and incident-the stereotyped programme,
and the recurrence Of the same steps towards fame
and distinction in the fashionable world, are all
tiresome, tedious, and emily tolerable. There Is
some excitement in a tournament-something
worth expecting and waiting for, and very agree
able pegeantry, compared with the limitations Of
dancing assemblies in Paris and Londoa-sdmis-
sion from two to ten shillings.
Ne1t year, Mr.. Parsons, Of Lebanon Syringe,
who has enlarged, and will stl further enlarge.
his fine lhoiel, thinks Of getting up q magai-
6cent tournament at the Close Of the sea-
con. Nothing will be leh undone to render
IL the most picturesque and gorgeous pa
geast that art applied to nature Can produce.
The scenery of Lebanon Springs Is suited to such
q pageant, and the candidates for queen Of beauty
and maids Of honor must make every necessary
preparstion to carry out the splendid design Of the
ealerlnsing proprietor. Virginia Springs, situated
in abesuufsl, mountainous region, will again be the
scene Of Southern chivslry, and Lebanon Spnngs
the arena for Northern pro-ess and sallao,ry. Ga
such occasions, the youthful and the old are all
willing to be middle aged, for the very fun and
excitement growing out Of such enterprises.
