The Pest Office and Post Roads Commit.
tee.-That Mr.. Speaker Banks has duly car
NED out his scheme of placing the House COM
mittees Of public Importance, one and all, az
far as possible, under the control of his minor
lty Republican party, is manifest in his con-
struction Of the Committee on the Post ONCE
and Post Roads. To accomplish this general
purpose be has been compelled to cast quite
number Of Northern opposition members of
experience in the hall, and undoubted capa-
city to I'LL leading places in the organization
Of the House, into fourth and fifth rate posi-
tions-those thus served, being, in all cases,
gentlemen who are not to be trusted to do lit
tie else In the course of the session except to
"shriek for freedom" Though the Post Office
Committee has nothing to do Iegitimately with
politics, so vast and 80 very important has the
postal system Of the Government become, as
that the proper discharge of its functions is
matter Of great moment to the public interest
In proportion to the amount of paying mail
matter transported, the number of miles il is
transported in this country is many times
o $500 AZ Otucl Wullc Inc means
OF mail conveyance among rs are more varied
and inefficient; and the lawful authority of
the Department TO enforce its wishes upon the
people is far less than under any other govern
ment Besides, the necessity for rapid extern.
nons and improvements in the service are
far greater than in any other land. These
circumstances render An entirely satisfactory
administration Of our postal system q task of
great difficulty. With House Post Office
Committee careless of the discharge of their
duties, or inclined to use their positions to
smoarrass the Departmenton political grounds,
fatner than TO aid It cheerfully to overcome
the extraordinary disabilities to which we
Ieier above, disastrous consequences to the
future OF the postal affairs of the Un;tsd
STATES would surely result. In this case We
are compelled to give Speaker Banks credit
Tor having apparently labored to make uu tbi,
committee, for the most part, with energetic.
practical business men-the right description
OF honorabie members fer the safe DISCHARGE
Of the Post Office Committees trusts.
