THE REPUBLIC.
To THE PUBLIC.

Our attention has been called 10 AN advertisement
published in the Republic OF Saturday last, signed
by Gilbert Cameron, contractor for the Smithsonian
buildings This statement sets forth the following
charges; That the ''bid made by him (Mr CT for
the marble for the east wing Of the Patent Office
was much lower than the bidders that have been so
highly favored with the contract for this part of the
work, and that the rejection If his bid has already
resulted III loss Of several thousand dollars to the
Government" Upon the truth of these CHARGES
he rests his accusation Of ." laring fraud and gross
derclction Of duty the part Of certain public Of
hcers The tendency and aim Of this accusation
with Its injurious imputations upon US, are as we'll
as others, well understood and rightly appreciated
IN this community. And if the perusal Of Mr.. C.'s
statement limited to the citizens of Washing
ton, no suggestions of selfrespect would demand
an answer; but we well know that silence through
insidious misrepresentation, may be construed BY
others, to whom unknown, as an acknowl-
edgment of guilt; and, more especially, when
the charge itself derives pausiblity from its very
grossness. In support OF this accusation, Mr.. G.
presents the following tables and accompanying
remarks. This extract furnishes the whole evi,
dence contained in his statement.
"Here follows Mr.. John c. Harkness's measure
ment as he has made his return to the Commission

Posi- MASTER GENERAL.--Thc recent annual re
port of this very efficient officer with general
commentator, and his propositions in reference
to reductions of postage find hearty acceptance
and approval in every quarter. The New York
Tribune, speaking of il, says
We knew Mr. Hall years ago a worker-a
man of application, of details, and of energy; but
we had not known him reformer prior to the ap-
pearance of his annual report We most heartily
welcome his appearance in that capacity. Hitherto
we have had Postmasters General willing to acqui-
esce in reductions Of postage when made, tested
and found TO werk successfully but Mr.. Hall is
the first within our recollection to come out dis
tincty. urgently. iorcibly, in fovor of radical
duction in the rates of postage We thank him
heartily for what he has done in his report, and
trust Congress will lose time in enacting the
rates OF letter postage recommended by him.
Three cents pre- paid per quarter ounce for any
distance without crossing the Rocky Mountains,
and five cents if unpaid, in advance very fair
rates; let US accept them at once, and be much
nearer the two cent rate when it shall have been
proved adequate. Do not let us endanger the half
loaf by sticking for two cents now. Let the Post
master Generals rates of letter postage be adopted
forthwith-before Christmas, il possible. Why
need there be ponderous deliberation and long
speeches on so plain matterl
