AN ANELoouEsr F1GURE.-The Mecklinburg JEFF
fersonian SAYS: Like one of those wondrous
rocking stones reared by the Druids, which the
finger Of a child mightvibrate to the center,sy
the might of an army could not move from its
place. our Constitution is SO nicely balanced thath
seems to sway with every breath of opinion, YET
SO rooted in the hearts and affections OF the pee'
Pile, that the widest storms of treason and tans-
icism break over it in vain." 6r n las y sas

IRREGULARITY OF THE MAILs.-There never
was period perhaps in the history of our coun.
try, when the people have had such reason to
complain at the irregularity of the mails and the
bad management of the whole mail service as al
present. All kinds of produce are transported
from one portion of the country to another, with
more safety and certainty than letters and pack
ages through the mails We hear almost every
day of delays and mistakes in the different post
Offices, in regard to letters which have failed to
reach their destination. One would suppose that
some packages which are sent through the mails
and which ought to reach their owners in thirty
hours, have taken trip around the globe, or been
off on an exploring expedition to parts unknown.
The fault can and ought to be remedied
There is probably cause for the numerous
failures which are complained of at this particu-
lar time. Post Masters, mail agents, and office
holders in general, begin to see the hand writing
upon the wall, and are seized with an ague more
fearful in its effects than that which shook the
frame of the wicked monarch of ancient days,
and hence they are so incapacitated for business
that they hardly know what to do or which way
to turn. They have fearful anticipation of a
speedy and merited decaptation, which is richly
due to all incorrgble offenders like these, who
knew their duty but did it not.-Plain Dealer.

A LETTER in the New York Tribune compli-
ments very highly the manner in which all
branches of the Administration have taken hold
of their duties. The Secretaries it says, are
hard-working men, and in their several depart
ments there is already system and an attention
to business which promises well for the incom-
ing Administration. Marcy is not much of a
man for manners, but then he works well, and
thinks and writes like gentleman. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury brings reputation with
him which, if sustained, as no doubt it will be,
will make him one Of the first and foremost of
partment

okFThe Division of California into three states
distinct and separate, is now contemplated and
pressed there. A majority of the Legislature, it
is said, will order State Convention, and upon
that Convention will depend the mode, manner
and boundaries of division. The three States are
to be named ssSierra,'' the mountain division,
which has about $4,000 inhabitants by the last
census; "California," which has 2O7, 1885, and
sTulare,' the Southern State, including Los Ange-
los and San Diego, which has 34,15O inhabitants,
and about seven and half millions of taxable
property. This Southern State of Tulare, in the
division, it contemplated by many of the occupants,
to make slave State of-and one of the objects
of pressing the division is to establish slavery
there. The State debt of California is about three
millions of dollars; and this debt, divided among
the new States, would give California So, ,aa3,333;
Tulare, 100000; and Sierra, S266, 1866.
