The Overland Mail.

ST. Louis, Oct :, 1879.
The Overland Mail, with San Francisco dates Of the
9th ut arrived this evening.
The California State Election on the 9TH resulted In
the uudoubted choice of Milton =. Latham, tho lIe-
compton Democratic candidate for GovernDr by
very large neutrality-suspicious. $1,000.
Messrs. Scott and Burch are probably elected 10
Congress, although their opponents, messrs baker
aud Mex ibben who received the united vote OF the
Rupubican and Anti-Lecomptou parties, have the
benefit Of slight doubt in their favor. The Anti
Leconpton candidate for State Printer who also
supported by the Republicans, has slight chance Of
election. With these possible exceptions the Demo
cratic. Lecompton State ticket is elected by an i'm
mense majority. Both branches Of the Legislature
arc largely Democratic. Ii would be about week
before the official returns were coun'ed.
The Peoples Reform" !" ticket, being the regular
succession to that nauguraed in 1856, by the vig-
lance Committee, has again trumphed in San Fran
csco, by handsome majority

Large AS this aggregate is, it is considerable
reduction on the amount hitherto expended oo
these Mails. The new Nicaragua M,d costs less
than half the amount Of that hitherto carried BY
way of AspInwall and Pan,ma; the ST. Joseph,
Salt Lake and Plsceryle Mails have recently been
cut dow one-balf; the Tehuantepec Costing some
S275 900 per annum) mas been stopped; and we
believe one sent overland from Missouri, called the
Neosho, has shared the same fate Here is an sg-
pregate retrepchment Of over 100000; yet our
California Mails are still to cost SlIiI, 900 per
annum.
We should not regard this as too much if the
service were perfect; but it is far Otherwise. Tae
Ocean Mail is carried either way but twice q
month: so that, for three-fourths Of the tune, ts
adyices are anticipated by those Of the scarcely
slower Butterfied Mail, which is Carried either
wsy twice week. But this Butterfed Overland
route is at least FIVE hundred miles longer than it
need OF should be, while nothing is carried it but
letters Thus the European and other news col
lected for aDd transmitted to US at heavy cost Is
actually sent to California in letters and printed
there in advance of its receipt IN our columns,
making us psy for undermining and destroying our
own business. We pay heavily for the news, and
then the Mails are so arranged that it shall prove
dsnsee to us, go far as California is concerned l.
this TIE fair thing We protest against any Mails
being run which those who pay the legal rates are
not at liberty 10 use.
We urge Congress to make early provision for
the merging of all our California Mails in single
Daily Overland Mail, to be run on the most direct and

that pays the legal rates of postage This Mail
should run from tie Missouri River BY the Kansas
Gold Mines to Salt Lake City Cor Camp Floyd,
and thence by the new road opened BY Capt Simp-
SOP TO Carson Valley and Pacervile, making the
distance from Atcbison or LeayenwOrth to San
Francisco less than Two thousand Miles, which
may be easily trsyersed in sixteen days, and, after
the first year, in fourteen. We are confident this
Mail can be contracted for less than 81 900 600

The City Of New-York is about the un'uckest
liteaut thst We have any knowledge or memory OF.
We scarcely recoect a single important case in
which the City gsined verdict, while she has been
beaten, and badly cast in damages, so often that
her le gal defeats must form narrowing catalogue
for her taxpayers. The last case-thst involving
the title TO the real estate known as West Wash
inRton Market-mucts her to the extent Of $50, 900
to S6O,OCO; ard this verdict is assumed TO draw
after it claims for back-rents to an appalling
amount. Was it necessary, was it wise, the
part Of City fdnctooaries, to brave this issue
Doubtless the City might have avoided or adjusted
tbis claim for back rents altogether BY conceding
the States tile to the property at the time of the
frs, assertion of that title. Cannot some settle
meDt be now made that will shield this over taxed
City from that claim of back rents or at least from
the greater part Of it If such a settlement be
practicable, and the Cys lawyers have DO we'll
grounded hope of defeating the States title entirely,
We urge an immediate settlement of this coDtro-
very. Its prosecution may be sport for the law
yers, but it is very melancholy fun for our City's
taxpayers.
