THE Posi- OFFICE DErARrNENr.--The Tribune
says:
We have obtained from Washington the follow
ing particulars of the Post-Offce receipts Of the
years 1858, 1854 and 1855, as follows: The total
amount Of the receipts of the General Post-0ficc
from all sources from July l 1853, to June 30, 1854
was SG,Q23, 26l %. The total amount of receipts
from July l,lS54,toJune 30, 1855 was Sc, 373, 644 7G
The receipts of the years lS445 over the preceding
one amount to about $3.50 GOO; but the increased
expenses of transportation, ETC., will do far more
than overbalance this sum, fer excess of exediture
is some s., 100000 This proves that the Depart
ment does not pay its expenses. We have already
shown Mt length and in detail that the Southern
States cannot yield their proportion for the Post
Office but apart from this, the ranking privilege
constitutes the great cause for the increased deficit
in question. w arc quite Of opinion that the Post
Office, under proper regulations, can be made to
pay its expenses in the same lay that the private
express companies pay theirs. But amid the sum
total Of national expenses, we suppose that -, 500,
600 deficit for the Post Office will escape particular
animadversion owing to the fact that the public are
al. Interested in letter newspaper and pamphletcar-
rying, and disposed to deal leniently with that
Department.
The Louisville Courier, in revenge against Sem
ator Sumner for having contralicted, in n dieter,
some of the falsehoods which it published in Ken
lucky comes out ~ith a superlatively absurd story Of
the Senator's drinking apple brandy out Of a stone
Jug while travelling in the cars III that chlvalric
State. We have one recommendation to make to
the Louisville Courier, and that is, that when it
undertakes to lie about Mr.. Sumner, it had better
approach as near within range o. probability as its
stupidity will allow,-BoStoa Telegraph.
