pRINTINd DOCUMENTS WITHOUT DATA

We have received from friend very long
letter commenting upon our notice of the action Of
the Senate committee on this subject-too long for
publication. Our correspondent maintains that Con-
gress should publish proceedings, and that the
Executive Departments should coniine their reports
to suggestions without numbering" them with de-
tailed information He is opposed to printing the
doings Of the government; are in favor of the
widest dissemination. Agents should report their
acts, and their principals should all know what
they have done. The government is great machine,
we admit, but that is reason why its proceedings
should not be fully proclaimed What would be
thought of the directors of corporation who
should plead that their stockholders were
GUS as to justify them in suppressing the details
of their management? There can be no ntelli-
gent vigilance exercised over agents without pos
sessng the fullest knowledge of their acts. There
can be no defence made against misrepresentation
where the facts are all concealed or withheld There
can be no honest government without the shictest
accountability. We assure correspondent that
he never was more in the wrong in all his life His
plea of economy is miserable blind. Such economy
would ruin the State in fifty years. 1t would build
UP an irresponsible government, hedged in at all
points and defended az every crime is, by conceal
ment and false prctences We say, then, once for
ALL we are fully committed to the broadcast system of
publication so far the acts of government concern
the people.

BORROWED FRANKS.

Of the many frauds constantly practiscd upon the
enue of the Post Office Department there is none per-
haps deserving of pointed condemnation than the
CUSTOM Of late years prevalent in this city Of using
borrowed franks to private correspondence Many
persons in Washington whose business connexions at
distance in the habit of procuring from persons
titled to the ranking privilege regular supplies Of ankcd
envelopes under which their whole correspondence is
conducted 1t true that In instances the postage
thus saved during year amounts to inconsderable
sum But the loss of character through which this saving
is accomplished ought certainly to inspire doubt
its economy for surely it cannot be pretended that
the confession made upon every letter illegally ranked
that its writer has eauded the of the petty
of three cents tends to inspire confidence in
of business respect for correspondent.
This matter has often been brought to the notice OF
the Post Office Department but the difficulty Of procn-
ring the necessary proof has In most prevented

formed however, that hereafter strin t -1Sures will
be taken in all where such offences can by any pos
sibility be traced to the guilty parties

fers to avoid. A line Of posts within the country
which is now the prey and nlarauding ground
OF the Indian, would enable as to put stop 10
their outrages, and to keep them penned up in
their own mountainous haunts. by shifting the re-
spectiye positions of the troops and the Indians,
hundred of the former could afford pro
lection in the open country than two hundred can
now do in the less accessible posts on the frontier
But the greatest advantage from occupying the fer
tile and habitable country would arise from the bet
tor aud cheaper supplies that would be obtained for
the comnlissariat, and the great saving that would
be made in the item Of transportation 1t is useless
however, TO enlarge on these obvious considerations

the same service be smaller, but the expense OF
maintaining them would be diminished most materi-

HON. JOHN sLIpEIAs LErrER.

We publish note from Mr.. Slide exposing an
industrously- circulated falsehood, making him the
author of certain absurd stories about the manage
ment of Mr.. Douglass slaves in Louisiana. Mn. Sill
dell embraces the opportunity to deny, also, the
merous and persistent misrepresentation about his
alleged intervention against Mr. Douglas in the late
Illinois canvass. The political reader will remem-
Der remarkable feature Of the canvass of Mr.,
Douglas THAT almost every prominent man in the
country who dissented from the views Of the Illinois
senator was represented waging fierce warfare
upon him. We may not be fully advised of course,
of the exact position of the parties charged but
every one knows that it was part of the tao
tics Of the senator's friends to exaggeratc the efforts
OF those who disagreed with him. 1t afforded an adj
mrabe occasion Cor denouncing foreign Intervention
in purely local affairs and satisfied so far as
Mr. Slidell is concerned, and might say of all the
parties charged that there was not grain Of truth
in all that said about his and their agency in the
politics of Illinois,
