POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT.

POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT.
The whole number Of post Offices in the
United States nj the end Of the last fiscal
year, we ascertain from this interesting re-
port, was ls.4I7.- The excess Of revenue
over expenses for The Year ending June
80, 1850, was S3i0,0iS 05. On The sub
ject Of reduction Of postage the recomnep-
daiions Of the Postmaster General arc sub
stan,ialy as fo.lnws:-
"rhat the inland letter postage be fixed a.
three cents the single letter when prepaid, and
five cents when not prepaid the prepaid rate TO
be reduced TO two cents the single letter when
ever il shall be ascer,ained that the revenues Of
the Department, after the reductions now recon-
mended. shall have exceeded Il. expt nditures by
more than FIVE per cent. for two consecutive is-
cal years; twenty cents the single letter TO be
charged on all correspondence 10 and from the
Pacific coast, South America, the eastern CONT
nent and lis islands, and points beyond either /;
and ten cents the single letter on all other sea-
going letters, (where the postage has not been
adjusted By treaty,) without the superaddi,ion
Of inland postage in any case the Postmaster
GENERAL to be empowered TO reduce or enlarge
the sea rates, by aud with the consent Of the
PRESIDENT, with the view Of arranging adranta-
geousiy our postal intercourse with other coGn-
tries.
sit IS recommended that the Uniform INLAND
postage on newspapers, sent 10 subscribers from
the Office of publication be fixed at one cent
each; on pamphlets, periodicals., and all other
printed matter, Except newspapers,) two cents
for the weight of two ounces or less, and one
cent for every additional ounce or fraction of an
ounce 20! the sea-going charges on al printed
matter, twice the inland rate where The letter
postage between the same points 10 ten cents,
and four times the inland rate where tie letter
postage 10 twenty cen.s'
The recommendation to place newsps-
per postage at one cent per number for an,
distance, is unjust. We like much better
that Of Horace Greeley, as fairer towards
the country press; that is, 10 cents per
year within forty miles and one cent per
copy beyond that distance.

The manner in which they ACT upon those

of such men. For instance a page will be

will jump up and ask to retain the passage

AN IMPORTANT FACT.

Mr.. SroppaRp, civil engineer from Scott Coun-
~, who was in attendance upon The Convention
yesterday, has Jnsi completed thorough recon-
noisance OF the route from Davenport 10 this
r'ace-and was The practical engineer in the late
survey Of the Davenport and Iowa City road,
made by Col. Morgan. lie informs - that no
better track for Railroad can be found for the
dis ance. than along the river shore from Dayen-

Tie Davenport and Eons Oily Road, nil eost a.

engineer, Col. Morgan, in his impartial report
lays ihat the nearer he approached the river, the
more unfavorabe was the character Of the conn-
Enquirer.
We have 10 doubt that the track along
the river shore, as travelled BY Mr.. Stod-

would il nj be easier and much less ex-

A MISTAKE CORRECTED.

The information with regard 10 the Railroad

Enquirer Of that place, must have been obtained
sscond-hsnded and little different from my
statement. Having examined the route, and
made an estimate of the cost tor grading, in
formed them that il was much more favorable
than expected TO fad it; and that the FIRST nine
miles Of the Davenpor, and Iowa City Road will
cost as much for grading, as the road from Dav-
enpor. TO the Wyoming Bluffs; whereas the state
ment in the Enquirer would carry the idea that
sail the entire road from Davenport 10 Mu.cs-

meaning.
