IL PROFESSIONALLY the mails are in
worse condition now than they were ever be-
fore at this season of the year, when the
condition of the roads and rivers was az good
as it is at present. They have been in a
wretched condition since the 4th OF March,
and there is no system of improvement
The Locofoco organs tell us that the admin
istration hasn't had time to correct the irreg-
ularities of the mails, but, if the admlnistra-
ton hasn't been able, in nearly 9 half year
to make even a beginning of reform--if, on
the contrary, matters are getting worse in
stead of better, what encouragement is there
for hoping anything from its future action!

COOP WAGEs.-By Oregon papers we per

ton Territories met in convention at the city
of Portland last June. They agreed not tc
work for less than the old established prices
of $500 per year, or S. per day, and to
"rat" any printer who did. The price of sub.

lieve, s. per amman. How publishers there

%The Wings are getting desperate in

was legally elected, and the Evansville Jour-
nal of course agrees with the Louisville Jour-
nal on the subject. Now we venture to as.
seH that no man in Kentucky believes This
absurd statement Enquirer
All. indeed! Yet Grand Jury, sitting un-
der the obligation of solemn oath, and sworn
to be governed by the law and the evidence
in the finding of indictments, have already
indicted sixteen persons for fraud, who voted
the Democratic ticket without the right to
vote at all. These indictments were in but
one county, and the Grand Jury had but
commenced its work. There were a number
Of names besides on the poll book, which no
body recognized. There are other counties in
the District, in all of which the Democrats
committed base frauds rs is kpolpn. Why
may not we then, and Kentuckians believe,
that Letcher was elected if only legal votes
were counted! The Enquirer talks of this
investigation as one got up by Wings. Ger
tainly Locofocos never would start any such
investigation. 1t is in the hands of Grand
Jury, and if frauds have been committed by
Wings, they will be exposed.

We are informed by Mr.. Keats that the
gaswill be let in this evening, sure. We Wis.,
tied the gas works day before yesterday, and
they had then already enough gas for Satur-
day night. twill not be expected the first
evening that the gas will burn with the same
uniformity and brilliancy as after the air is
all expelled from the pipes. The gas is not
So good at first as it will be in a short time,
1t appears to be a general desire among
our citizens, that there should be on Front
street; gas posts in the middle of every block,
instead OF one at the foot of every street.
Evansville at night, would then look brilliant
and beautiful from the river-and with our
long wharf, would present the appearance to
which she is really entitled, that of a
city of no moderate pretensfons. Our city
has only contracted for fifty public lamps
That is not enough. The Lexington gas
works have just been completed. That city,
which does not boast, we believe, of half our
population, has contracted for one hundred
public lamps. Certainly then. we should
have at least a few more lamps on Water
street. We owe it TO ourselves, now that we
have gas works, to use them freely, or at least
make them assist far as possible not only in
Illuminating our city handsc mely. but espe.
cially in making it present from the river an
appearance at night commensurate with its
importance by day.
Not half our citizens who should do so, are
prepared to avail themselves in their business
houses Of gas light. One burner used to a
reasonable hour every night, will not Probab-
ly cost ten do lars year. This is perhaps
cheaper than andes-certainly cheaper
than the number required to give anything
like the light of one gas burner. Those bav.
ing good residences Of their own, should use
gas. They will find it all that is required.
without being any trouble, and perhaps the
best economy in the end. We know it may
require some little time to get gas in general
use here, but the time will come, when but
few will be satisfied to do without it
