TELEGRAPHIC FEATs--The English papers record
the following remarkable Geographic feats instan
ces of the perfection to which the of eecnicty,

" In the Sydenham Palace block of marble was
much wanted. The telegraph was set to work, and
amessage sent TO Cairo, asking if they had block
that would be suitable Almost directly answer
was returned that block then lying at the quar-
~ at Cairo and ship lying in the harbor about
to sail for England Immediately another message
was sent back ordering the marble, and it came to
England by that very ship. The other instance was
quite as curious. When the Queen went 10 Ireland
was arranged she should launch at Tamworth, but ii
was discovered there plate at hand. They
wanted to borrow it from Sir Robert Peel at Drayton
Manor, but Sir Robert had got TO Switzerland. Then
came the question: whether they should send to Biz
nngham and get some plate there, or send word to
Geneva by the electric telegraph. They did the lat

RETURN OF THE ABoLITIONIsTs.-The general
feeling of pleasure with which the approach of
anniversary week is received by large por-
ton of the community, will be considerably
alleged by the information that the abolitionists
have, after two years forced absence from our
city, been enabled to procure place in which
to celebrate their anniversaries. We hoped that
we had seen the last of them. and were congra-
tulating ourselves on the peace which the city
enjoyed during the past two years, when they
turn up again, as rampant, as seditious, and as
fanatical as ever. This time they have secured
the Chinese Assembly Rooms, having been re-
fused every other respectable place Of meeting

PRESIDENTS AND CABINETS AND Political In
rRlGuEs.-For the information of young poll
ticians, and to revive the recollections of old
ones, we give in to-day's HERALD an interest
ing sketch of those parts Of our political history
which relate to the formation, difficulties, in
trigues and explosions Of cabinets, for the last
twenty-four years. 1t will be seen on what nice
points cabinet difficulties and explosions have
sometimes turned; and the friends of the present
administration will be able, by comparison with
the past to form their calculations as to the
probabilities Of continued harmony in the cabi-
net of General Pierce so as to ensure their per-
manence and efficient action as the councillors
and coadjutors Of the President. Politicians
cannot fail to observe that General jackson,
one Of the most popular Of our Presidents, over
came the trials and embarrassments which
Unexpectedly beset him on his entrance into the
Presidency, by his frmness and decision-in
which course he was sustained by the people;
while some other of our Presidents lost the
public confidence by timid and wavering
course of policy

which arrive at the general post Office early in
the morning, do not reach their destination be-
fore the evening.
For all this very simple remedy may be
adopted
First-The trade in the conveyance Of let
tiers, now carried on by irresponsible parties,
should be abolished and their Offices closed
Several receiving Offices, under the control Of
the central Office, should be established in each
exclusive Of slips.n) If Unnecessary. small an
nual salary should be allowed to grocers or
other storekeepers for acting as receiving officers.
They should not be allowed to receive money,
but should sell stamps. In their Office, table
OF post Office charges should be conspicuously
posted.
Second-The number of carriers should be
quintupled. They number some forty-four at
present, we believe-rather less than one-third
the number Of horses employed by the London
post Office for carriers omnibuses The country
mails reach London between and A. NJ. and
are sorted and delivered in the most distant
parts Of the city by halfpast nine. By the
aOOpllOn OF the 5aue meauS we Cau ODt6lu ike
results. Increased method and time-savipg
contrivances should be adopted in the letter
sorting departments. Omnibuses should leave
the post Office with the letter carriers as soon
as the letters are sorted. so that each carrier
may reach his walk" in few minutes. No
"walk" should be so extensive that the carrier
cannot deliver his whole bag in an hour.
Third-The receiving offices should be visited
several times q day by letter carriers, and the
letters carried to the central Office, sorted, dis
tributed for delivery, and sent round to their
destination in the same manner as mail letters.
A charge of two cents per letter would defray
all expenses. The number Of deliveries would
depend on the amount of business. The opera
ton of collecting sorting, distributing and de-
livering town letters, is repeated at intervals
ten times on each working day in London. A
letter invariably reaches the person to whom it
is addressed within three hours. Even two
deliveries would be signal boon to New
Workers..
We may, on no distant occasion, recur to the
subject. Meanwhile, policy, if no higher mo-
tive, will suggest the propriety of some action
being taken in the premises by the authorities.

He REPUDIATES NEW MEXICO.-HOn. Scion
Borland, of Arkansas-an Industrious, hard
working member of the United States Senate, a
physician by profession, and major in the
United States army during the war with Mexico
has given up the appointment which he recently
received from the President of Governor of New
Mexico We are not surprised that he declines it;
and we are only surprised that he could, in the
first instance. have been so extremely ro-
mantle, at his time Of life, as to apply for
this out-ofthe-way place, for we apprehend
the President would not have thought of
taking any man out of the Senate to hiber-
nate in the adobe palace of the Governor
at Santa Fe except upon such Senator's
personal application.
We are informed, however, from Washington,
that Major Borland's first object in the applica-
ton for New Mexico was the prospect of improv-
ing his health in the elevated, 900 feet above
and the surrounding deserts and naked noun
ains; in the second place, the prospect of the
Pacific Railroad being run through New Mexico
offers prospective opening for profitable trans
actions in lands; and. thirdly, there is the dry
goods business Of the st. Louis and Santa Fe
caravans, in which traffic the old Mexican
Governors at least, never failed to enrich
themselves.
Upon the sober second thought. however, all
these considerations have been outweighed by
the drawbacks of New Mexico-such as the vast
deserts and frightful mountains that encompass
that charming country for thousand miles,
more or less, in eyery direction-such as the
