ton, Rutland, and to as many other places as
may ask for IL, in exchange for vote, whom
the truth is. that had a vote been taken any
time previous to August last, the state would
have voted, by an overwhelming majority, to

might.
That this has become a sectional question
is apparent from the fact that the opposers of

section. in the same town. in which the friends
Of rebuilding at Burlington or Rutland were

RAISING THE PosrAGE.-Tho reason why
our post office docs not do as well as the Euro
poan ones, is because We have long mail lines
running by sea or through thinly inhabited
districts, where the cost is out of all proper
ton to the revenue yielded. In the State of
New York and other thicldy settled localities
the post office not only pays expenses, but
pours handsome sum into the treasury TO
help to dciray the expenses of other sections.
The Postmaster General himself admits that
the expenses are now at the highest point.
while the revenues viii yearly improve
as the population and development of thinly
settled States and territories increase If So.
why make a change;
If we are TO have postal reform lot it begin
at the other end. Let the department re-
trench its outlay, instead of laying new bur
dcns on the public. There are plenty Of cx-
trayagant mail contracts awarded to political
ayoritives, uon-payng routes and offices
kept for political reasons, and mail matter
carried for political purposes in respect to
which economy might be judiciously exercised
with sensible effect Let the Postmaster Cen
oral try his hand at these before he asks the
people to pay him two cents more on thoir
letters.-AibaHy Journal.
INCREASE OF PosrAoE.-The Postmaster
Generals recommendation of an increase of
letter postage to five cents the single letter
will not be pleasantly received in the free
States. The Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican expresses the gen
eral sentiment very truly and forcibly as fol-
lows
"The free States, or at least the older set
tied ones, great deal more than pay their
postage bills HolC, and it is going a triae too
far to ask them to pay almost double postage
on their letters that the States which slavery
impoverishes may have every postal facility.
and that giant corporations may fatten on sea
and sthmus contracts or that an overland
company may carry twice a week a few let
tiers down through Texas and upper Mexico
and up again to California at a cost of 5000
600 per annum. Tho Congressman from
free state who votes TO increase the postage
will. upon his return home, be greeted with
such howl of eXecration as will make him
think he is in Pandomonium. If the Gov
ernment is bound TO carry the mails into every
new territory, and over the slavery-cursed
regions of the South, let the cost of the work
come out OF the national treasury. and not
out Of the pockets of those intelligent peo-
pie who see tito write letters, in the old and

VERY WICKED INDEED.-A provincial
contemporary, the Mem Bruaurichar. pcrpe.
rates the following as a reason Tor an excuse
OF not publishing document which his sheet

" A very dry, long-wnded and nonsensical
tale, called the Presidents message, wa.
presented to Congress on Monday, and from
hence politely sent to all the newspaper pub.
ishers IN the land, with the expectation that
they would print it, many of whom were and
will be guided by the doubtful compliment.
As many of the assertions made in the story
are decidedly false and others founded on
icton, and the moral of the whole decidedly
wrong and Of an evil tendency, and as we
prefer nonsense in small doses, we have con.
Nuded to let the document go to The winds
without our aid, and therefore shall not lum-
Der our columns with it"

THE JUpcE WArRous CAsE.-The New
York HraH gives the following sketch Of
this case, now pending before Congress
" The Judiciary Committee of the House
has had great deal of trouble i'm several Com
crosses with the case OF John c. Watrous,
United States District Judge of Texas. The
Legislature of that State has time and again
passed resolutions calling on Congress for his
impcochment ON the ground of his having
become corupty interested In the results of
important suits pending in his Court in rca-
ton % land grants ia Texas. The Judiciary
Committee at one Congress reported against
bis impeachment. At the close of the last
Congress, 10 reported unanimously that he
should be impeachcd-but then Congress cN-
pred, aud the report could not be acted on.
His case was again before the Judiciary Com
miitcc during the most of last session. and a
great mass of testimony was taken. The COM
mittee, however, was equally divided on the
question of his Impeachment Four of the
members presented a report i'm favor of it. and
four against. The ninth member did not at
tend the s.ttings of the committee, and there
fore did not sign either report. The testimo-
ny was printed, and has been in the hands of
members during the recess. Yesterday sew
eral members wished TO postpone the case be-
cause they had not read the reports. They
have had sufficient time to inform themselves
of all the facts, and TO vote intelligently for
or against Judge Watrous' impeachment. II
the vote be for t, then will it deyolve upon
the Senate to try him. The trial would oc-
cuPy weeks, if not months, unless the Judge
would waive the oral examination of witness
cs, and lot the notes OF testimony taken be-

WASHINGTON MATTERS.

The AMlsrAD CAsE-Iewis Tappan, Esq,
communicates to the n Y Eucaing Post a
concise history Of the Amistad case, in which
he was at the time actively interested. by
his statement, it appears that the U. S. Dis
trict Court, i'm the case of the Amstad ne
groes, found that they, when seized. were in
the condition of rccmcn; that they were
born free that they had been kidnapped in
their native country. and iorcibly and unlaw-
fully transported to Cuba; that they were
wrongfully and frauduently put on board Of
the schooner Amistad that after achieving
their own dcli,croncc they sought an asylum
in the State of Now York by the laws oi
which they wore free The Court dccrccd
that the Africans should be delivered to the
Executive, to be sent back to Africa.
Mr.. Iappan continues his statement as fol-
lows:
"The Attorney Of the United States, on be-
half of the United States. entered an appeal,
claiming in pursuance of a demand made
upon them by the minister Of the Queen OF
Spiin," &c.
The case was argued before the Supreme
Court of tine United States by Hon r. S.
Baldwin and Hon. John Quincy Adams. The
Court did not sustain the appeal, and the At
ricans were therefore left in charge of the
committee. who sent them to their native land
with missionary.
Mr. Adams in a speech made to the House
Of Representatives, March %. 1917. and pub
lished In the National Inteiigepccr. stated
That the Spanish Minister had never demand
ed the negroes as slaves, bat as ircemen, as
they had been declared 10 be by the supreme
Court aud that they should be delivered no as
