MAIL FROM CAIRO TO New ORLEANs-The
Memphis Bulletin makes the following just
and severe comments on the management
under the contract for the river mail from
Cairo to New Orleans:
1t ought never to have been made in the
first place. for any Postmaster Gene. al, tit for
his place; should have had intelligence enough
to know that it could uot be fulfilled with
fidelity for the sum paid. Now that its utter
failure is demonstrated, the contract ought to
be abrogated iIstanter. Every body else but
Mr. Campbell knew it was humbug at the
beginning, anc that it was bound to be a failure:
and now that even he, when he looks at his
long list OF fines upon the company for non
delivery according to scheduled time, cannot
help knowing it Also we think it quite time
that some action should be taken in the prem
Uses.
We have very little hope, however that
anything will be done during the remainder
of the present Administration. The present
head ofthe Post Office Department is TOO igno-
rant OF the necessities o: the country and the
Importance and nature Of the service to offer
much hope that the truth of the subject will
ever reach his foggy mind.
The contractors, we understand, are bescg-
ing the department for remission Of their
fines. If they are such favorites, in any way,
as to have merited gratuity, let them have
1t; but let it be clearly understood in it's true
character Of u gratuity. The service they
have rendered has not been q whit better if as
good, as it was under the old system, when
agents at Louisville and New Orleans sent
each mail as freight, at so much per trip, cost
ing the Government some $4,000 or $4,000
per annum.
We have time and again demonstrated that
the mail service on the Mississippi cannot 0
materially improved without the establishment
of q bona ide tne Of mail PACKETS. 10 do this
would cost but little, if any, below $1,000
900. We demand, in behalf Of long-abused
and suffering people that it shall be DONE
We, Of the Mississippi Valley, help TO pay out
near $3,0O0,OO0 for ocean mail service, and
we do not complain Of It, We have u right
to have our own interior mail service as ellie.
lent as in other parts Of the country; and we
are glad to see that this right is being asserted
by the merchants Of st. Louis.

RELATIVE INCREASE OF SLAVE AND FREE
PoPULATIoN,-On of the New York Tri-
bune's Bugbears, by which it attempts to
keep up the anti slavery excitement, and ill
its Golfers by pandering to the fears and pre-
JUDGES Of its partisans, is the reiteration of a
statement, that the present ratio of increase
OF slaves compared with the whites, will "long
before Democratic sagacity provides for the
contingency" give the slave the ruling power
in the country. The New Albany Tribune
thus disposes Of the allacy;
In 1890 we had 697, 897 slaves in the Uni
ted States, to 2,172, AGA free whites This
was in the proportion Of one slave to four
and half free whites, or 100 slaves to $50
free whites. In 1850 we had 3,204313 slaves
to 19, 553,068 free whites-beng in the pro
portion Of one slave to 6l@ free whites, or 100
slaves to CPS free whites. At this rate of
increase we apprehend it would take smart
err school boy than ever Horace Greeley was,
to tell us how long it would take the slave
population in this country to outnumber the
free whites and subject them to condition
Of servitude.
We will 20 little further into the stats.
llCS VI pOpulhllOIl buuChllS lHls LlallcI, III
rler to expose the false gloss of Mr.. Gree
ley's Fl lures.
In 1920 tho number Of slaves in the Uni
ted States was 1,53S,O38. In 1850 the
whole number was 3,20l,3l3. Being an in.
crease in thirty years Of lOS per cent. In
| 1920 the free white population at the South
was G,222, 4l9. Being an increase in thirty
years Of 100 per cent In 1920 the white
population at the North was 5,O3O,377. In
1850 it was 1880 62o-being an increase in
thirty years Of lG5 per cent
Now allowing the same ratio Of increase
to hold good for the next thirty years, we
shall have in 1880 slave population of 6 $685.
COO a white population Mt the South Of IL,
GS90O0, and white population at the North
Of 50 100000. Continuing tho same ratio Of
increase up to the beginning Of the next cen
tury and we shall have n free population in
the Northern subdivision Of the Union 65,-
100000; while the Southern sub division will
have free white population Of 24,640000,
and slave population Of 100000. Thus
of the l0OO0O000 inhabitants which this
great and glorious Union Of ours will contain
in 1900 but little over 100000 Of them
will be slaves, allowing the same ratio of in
crease to hold good for the next 43 years, as
during the last 67. And yet the Tribune
would have us believe that this ten millions of
slaves will be able to suhjugate the ninety
millions Of free whites Away with such con-
sumate nonsense.

Neither defamation nor defeat has changed

They are stronger this day than they were be-

men of both the other parties have, since the
passions Of the canvass have passed away

party holds the balance of power in this State
and in the Union. By preserving their integ

o. Mrs. McMahon, whose debut as an
actress, at Buffalo caused so much disappoint-
ment to the critics and public, and so much TO
herself, has made an appearance at the acade-
my of music in New York city, where the
verdict of the Buffalonians was confirmed
The lady is evidently stage struck" and has
mistaken an ardent love of the art, for the
genius of an artist. It is not every lover of
music that can discourse sweet strains-nor
every lover of painting that can paint. She
is rich and accomplished, and her failure
brings no suffering, but wound to her self
love, which Belle Britain predicts will cure
Itself by "bleeding;" and that the lady will
soon return to the sanctity of her dear home,"
with new relish for those more quiet Toys
with which the stranger intermedleth not"
Perhaps she has no children-those little
domestic sheet anchors, that prevent aspiring
women from straying into the regions of art
and other miscellaneous fields, and keep them
from restlessly repining over unfulfilled "mis-
sions;" and from feeling like wilted ear OF
corn, unripe, unproductive and useless II
so, let US treat her all the more tenderly; but
at the same time gently suggest that she had
better adopt baby than the stage. Many
good people regard both as "crying evils;' but
of the two. would choose the least.'

OF An express man on board the steamer
S. c. Swan, from st. Louis to New Orleans,
in charge of $4,000 in gold, belonging to the
U. S. Government, which he had placed in a
state room in boxes, found on removing it,
that the floor underneath the boxes, had been
bored through from the deck below, and into
the boxes, but the coin was so compactly
packed on the inside that it arrested the worm
of the augur and the thief had been defeated
in his attempt to get at the coin, and that all
was safe.

OF An American merchant was shot down

o. An American merchant was shot down
in most unprovokcd manner at the Clichy
Prison in Paris, where so many foreigners get
caught up by false or extortionate charges Of
Indebtedness. The account says:
Mr.. Charles Morret an American gentle
man, patentee of the vulcanized india rubber,
was deliberately shot dead by soldier of the
S8th regiment on guard, when standing with
his hands in his pockets at one of the windows
oc the prison, which is public to all the in
mates. lie had committed no infraction of
the regulations, and the murderer's consigne in
no way authorized to fire on any one in any
case; indeed, it expressly forbids the sentry's
musket being loaded in the day time. The
unfortunate victim was married man, and
during his residence in the prison was one OF
it's most respected and honored inmates.

THE ANTI FoRNEY DEMocRATs.--The seven
members ofthe Pennsylvania Legislature, who
voted for Hon. D. FL. Foster, have published a
reply, which they call a protest against the
calumnies that have been heaped upon them
by the Pennsylvania and Keystone Club, in
consequence Of their refusal to support the
caucus nomination of Forney. They take the
ground, in strong terms, that the interference
of Mr. Buchanan in favor of Forney, was a
dctation which they felt that they owed it to
their manhood to resist. They are very in
dignant in repelling the imputation that they
have been bought or seduced into this course
which they defend on principle, and as con-
sistent with their fealty to the Democratic
party.

The STATE AGENT.-The recent report
from this officer submitted to the Legisla-
ture discloSes the fact that the State is liable
to be imposed upon to a very large extent.
Mr.. Lord, after an abstract OF the business
OF his Office for the past year, goes on to state
that there are no restraining provisions in the
present laws regulating and governing the
agency "but the oatk, the official bond and
the honesty Of the agent TO prevent him from
issuing any amount of stock he may desire;
and should he at any time be tempted, he
might, by an over issue, render the State liza.
bic for thousacds Of dollars for which she
would never receive one cent. This, he thinks,
could be obviated by simply creating regis.
try, by which it shall be made the duty Of
SONS one to countersign and register each
certificate after il passes out Of the hands Of
the agent before it shall become valid. The
expenses of the agency, as compared to what
they were prior to 1850, are light. rs shown
by the following statement: The Auditor Of
State reported the expenses of the agency
from Feb. LIST, 1913, to Oct. 1st, lS49, to be
$1960S 90, from which may be deducted for
agents salary for second year. 81, 100-leav-
ing the incidental expenses Sl8608 90 for
one year and seven months; whereas, from
the 9th day of December, 1853, to the list
day Of November, 1856, a period Of almost
three years, the expenses Of the Agency have
only been $40, 154 14-S7 300 Of which was
for agents salary, making the incidental ex-
penses of the agency $3,414 A for three
years. Three years experience in the city Of
New York has convinced him that the issue
of stocks Of any kind cannot be too strongly
guarded.
