THE WASHINGTON CITY POST OFFICE

The improvements contemplated In our
City Post Office having been completed,
from being the most unhandy and ill-ar-
ranged establishment, it has come already
to be the most convenient one of the kind
in the country. We know the Post Offices
of most of the cities of the Union, and
therefore speak from the card. From the
time the Office is opened in the morning
until it closes at night, box-holders in
haste can always be served, one or more
delivery window being at all times open
and attended. The boxes are now ample
for the largest possible demand of citizens
and sojourners, and so arranged and at
tended, that no box-holder need ever wait
more than minute to be served. The
obliging Postmaster has also supplied his
Office with such accommodations for the
newspaper mails of the press, as have
added greatly to the accommodations Of
the Post Offices of Eastern cities, whereby
our mail boys may at any instant obtain,
without assistance, all papers for US
which may have been distributed. None
,mconnected with printing office can
understand the value of such an arrange
ment to the newspaper men. We have
also a fine vestibule or covered hall for
the protection of those calling for letters,
sufficient to cover any number of persons
who will possibly call at the Washington
Post Office at one time. On the whole,
Col Berrett deserves the thanks of the
community for the completeness and tho
rough efficiency of the changes for their
better accommodation which he has
wrought in the office.

Spirit of the Morning Press.

The Sentinel this morning deprecates
IN strong terms the system of letting out
the business of supplying the Government
with whatever it may require in the way
of provisions, materials, &c, to the lowest
bidder by contract. The editor holds that
as the Government fails to specify in its
advertisements how much of each article
it wants, bidders at distance who have
no friends here to ascertain that fact make
proposals at great disadvantage; those
having such friends, being able to learn
through them very nearly the quantity of
each likely to be demanded for the public
service. The editor forgets to state that
any one at distance by writing to the
Government bureau making the advertise
ment, can obtain all the information upon
such subjects to be learned by those in
Washington, and that all bidders almost
invariably pursue that plan. Now, the
evils of the contract system have grown
entirely out of the fact that it has not al
ways been strictly and fairly admins
tered. They are not in the system itself.
The system of selecting favorites on whom
to shower fat jobs at their own prices
the alternative tried, has generally
resulted in virtual frauds, and we regret
exceedingly to find the Sentinel even in
directly pressing its readoption upon the
Government.
The Sentinel on the authority of the
HerGH, says that the recent Adaman-
tine Democratic ratification meeting in
New York, held in the Park, numbered
quite 20, 900 persons
The Union continues the discussion of
the trouble in the party in New York,

says:

grcss to legislate against the extension of slave

The Lntelhgencer discusses the Russo
Turkish question, in an article which
seems to us to admit broadly the exist
ence of another Holy Alliance in Europe,
as we explained on Saturday. The editor
is evidently of opinion that the Sultan
will resist the Cars ultimatum-the I'M
altered Vienna proposition-relying on
the active aid of England and France in
case of actual hostilities. The Intelti-
gencer thinks that such are the relations
of those two governments with Turkey,
as to force them to draw the sword for
her in such an event.
