In operation within the United States 202
railroad routes their aggregate length was
l3,4l0% miles and the cost of mail trans
portation thereon 81 CAS-, 432. 33-being at the
rate OF $40 26 7.l0ths per mile. Include the
pay OF mail messengers, route and local agents,
the whole expense of this service is increased
to 81 ,s6S, 2647S, or Sl3938 6-l0ths per mile.
IL is deporable, indeed, if no remedy for
such extortion can be provided by legislation.
On estimating other kinds of service in the
same manner upon the aggregate length of
routes IT is discovered that the average cost of
steamboat service IL S34.45 per mile coach
service S22 SO per mile; and Of modes not
specified, $3.50 per mile Such being the con-
dition Of this branch Of the service, and the
prices paid for il, the attention Of Congress is
particularly requested to this subject.
Reference is made to the high price of mail
transportation in California. This il graduated
to the highest scale Of prices in that State,
while the postage is graduated to the lowest
so that the cost of mail service greatly exceeds
the revenue. While the Government sustains
heavy burden in the attempt to supply the
citizens OF that State with mssl facilities, they
themselves often employ the Expresses at rate
from twenty to forty fold the Government
charges The expresses have outran the Gov
eminent in following the miner in his rapid
and extreme transits, and the postmaster there
has favored the express man, receiving in
return II compensation much larger than the
compensation he is allowed by the Govern
ment. The express charge is from one to FIVE
dollars letter, according to distance The
principal cause of this state of things is the
utter failure or refusal of the Central Post
master in California to forward in the M all
letters received from the States. instructions
have been forwarded to put a stop to this ruin
Gus COLLISION between the postmasters and the
express men. The appointment Of an officer
higher than special mail agent, and parta
king of the character of an Assistant Post
master General, is suggested, TO take charge OF
the mail system in California.
The report recommends an increase in the
number Of mail agents, and their division into
two clases-one to oversee the transportation
&c, the other to look after depredstions
The expenditures of the Department during
the last fiscal year, as stated by the Auditor,
amounted to 1882 $50 SO, viz:
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1853-12-15

The changesin the rates of postage on news
papers, pamphlets, and printed matter made
by the act of lS45, were comparatively unim-
portant and did not materially affect the rev.
enue from this source; which, with the excep-
ton Of the year ls47 continued steadily to in
crease up to the 3Oth June, 1851, when it
reached the sum of 81, OBS, 1870 SO, as shown
by the following statement from which the
sums received for Government postage in 1916
and lS47 are excluded:
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1853-12-15
SIS $40 1924 70

|
1t appears from the foregoing statements
that the gross revenue Of the year ending June
80, 1853, fell short of the expenditures during
the year by the sum of 80 042 03l SO.
The foregoing deficiency should be diminish.
ed by the SUN of $50 SOFAS due the United
| States to the Both June, 1853, under the postal
| convention with Prussia, and increased by the
| quarterly balances due TO Great Britain up to
the same period, amounting to Sl2S,550.79.
| This would leave the deficiency in the revenue
of the year to stand at So, l17O 7s 20.
To supply the deficiency last mentioned, the
Department had at its disposal tho following
means, viz:
The available balance TO the
credit of the Department, on
the books of the Auditor, on
the LIST Of July, 1852 S566,632 81
The appropriation to supply any
deficiency made by the act of
March 81, 1851 100000 90
The appropriation made by the
act of March Sd, 1853, to sup
ply DEFICIENCIES in tho year sos, 900 90
$l.57I,632 81
Leaving the further sum of S545,44563 to
be provided by Congress for the service of the
year ending July 80, 1853.
Having stated the deficiency in the revenue
Of the past year, it may be Of use briefly to no
tice the financial results Of the two years
which have expired since the passage Of the
"act to reduce and modify the rates OF postage
in the United States, and for other purposes"
approved March 81, 1882, as compared with
the two years which Immediately followed the
reduction of rates effected by the act Of March
3d. lS45. For the purpose of this mparison,
| shall exclude the sums which accrued TO the
revenue for mail services rendered to the Gov
ernment in those years, az we'll rs the balances
resulting in favor Of the London Post Office in
the years 1851, 1852, and 1883, under tho post
al arrangement with Great Britain.
Under the operation of the act Of is45, the
gross revenue from letter postage fell of in
the year iS46 the first year of the reduction
sass 1888 50, or ~ per cent. but in the second
year, ending June 80 ls47, the letter postage
increased 1868, 959 40, OF 10 3-5 per cent
over 1916
In the year ending June 80 1852, the first
after the reduction Of 1851, the gross amount
of revenue froaa letter postage was reduced
81, 1879 99373, or~22T per cent. but in the
following year, ending 30.h June 1853 the in.
crease Of revenue from the same source was
only $25I, 7476s, or 6 per cent, an increase
worry little beyond what is due TO the yearly in
creaso in the population Of the country.
The failure Of the revenue from letter post
age to recover, during period Of almost unex-
amped property and commercial activity,
with the same rapidity under The act of 1851,
a. it did under the act VI lS45, may be ac-
counted for upon tho supposltlon that the lat
ter act had already stimulated the correspond
ence Of the country nearly TO the highest point
Of which il was capable, and that, therefore,
the act Of 1851 afforded but little further in
dacement to use the mail.

THE BARON STEUBEN, though never perfect

takes in speaking, except designed y, such a.

In view of these facts, the Postmaster Gen
eral says:
Ii Congress intends that the mail service Of
the country shall be sustained by the money
derived from hostages, these charges should not
be placed upon it. In providing for the build.
ing and equipment Of naval steamships Con-
gress seems to have meant to encourage the
erection by individuals of war steamships,
which might, on the emergency of a war, be
ready for public use; and such being its design,
and the carrying of the mails but an incidental
purpose, the public Treasury should bear the
cost. The amount of postage derived from
these vessels is but small, rs has been shown
aud ia view of the extension of mail accOmmO-
dations asked for from every part of the coun
try, which has now to be frequently denied,
would suggest that these lines be now paid for
in the manner now provided for in relation to
the other lines. The extending settlements OF
our country and the great increase and activity
OF business of every description, require all the
mail accommodations that can be given and
the Department should not I've burdened with
payment for services which do not properly
belong to it.
The exorbitant rate of postage on pamphlets
and magazines between England and the Uni
ted States-tho charge for publications of this
kind above two ounces being four cents al
ounce on either side-is still maintained, owing
solely to tho fact that the English Government
refuses to meet the proposition of our Govern
ment for q reduction.
Transient postage on matter passing to and
from the United States through Great Britain,
is still charged in that country 81 cents an
ounce, while such matter to and from England,
passing through the United States, is charged
only l2I5 cents. A strong representation on
the subject is to DO made by our Minister at
London.
The rest of the report discusses the subject of
the mail-steamer contracts We shall revert to
| it at another time
