~ The valiant Senatlr Brown Of Nissis-
sippi, said in his Cuban speech in New York,
the other night, while ridiculing the idea that
England and France would dare interfere to
prevent our taking Cuba, in case of war
with England and France, the chances are
that we should see the American general hoist
the stars and stripes over the Tuilleries and
palace of st. James," The effect of this
speech on the Paris Bourse must be tremen-
dous, to say the least.

Senator Stowe, of the twenty ninth district,
New York, it viii be remembered, died a few
weeks since. A special election for his sue
cessor, ordered by the Governor, took place
on Tuesday, the 18th, and resulted in the
election of Mr.. George D. Lamount, Republi-
can, by majority of 1000. The Republican
candidate was not put in the field until late
day, but as the sequel showed, quite too early
for the Democrats. The result is even better
than was anticipated.

Extra Session % ConxFsss eslll Probable.
The Washington correspondent Of the N.
Y. Tribune writes as follows:
49,. WASHINGTON, March %.
The President says emphaically that
though he has yielded now to the opposition
against an extra session, he considers, the
concession an experiment entirely, and if it
fails Congress shall be called. In any event,
the probability is that the summons will 60
forth for November, according to the plan sug-
gested by Mr.. Stevens of Georgia before his
departure. The members of the Cabinet are
unreserved in their expressions Of rejoicing
at having conquered the President despite his
repeated declarations, up to the last moment,
of his intention to convene Congress.

The End q the Present Postage Syo-

We see that many of the prominent Jour-
mails Of the Union are advocating the abolition
of the Postal System in its present form, and
declaring that it would be better conducted if
divorced from Government and carried on by
private enterprise. If farmed out to respon-
sible companies similar to our Express Com
panies, it might even become source Of Re-
venue to the Government, and at the same
time be better; conducted managed more econo-
mically and promptly, and I'm consequence,
postage rates become cheaper.

A Chapter in the Operations of the
Transit Railroad.

"A C08RteE tAc OPOIAtAOhD Va S1AC
Transit Railroad.
From the Rochester Free Press of March "a.
We learn from the Ninnesotian that the follow
ost and retired from the Board Of the Transit Com
pany:
"Hcn H. H. johnson, L. Smith, VIM. Ashley Jones,
St. A. D. Balcombe, Geo. Bemas, John Hoffman, D.
Evans, Of winons NJ. p. Bemas, H. Conklin, Of New

The following were appointed in their places:
Z. G, Goddard, New York; P Mesler, John Harmon,
NJ Ross, J. W. Mott, Of Detroit, Michigan P. H. Park
OSicsgo, W. wiadop. wnona; Mr.. Earnest, Madison,
Wisconsin"
We are unable at present to see how the change
that has been made is to affect at all favoraby the
prospects of the road.
In copying the above from the Rochester
Free Press, of Olmsted County, in this State
of the date of March 24-we would men,
ton, that it is one of the two or three Repub-
Ecan papers of Minnesota which in the begin
ming sustained the $5,OOO,OOO Loan, and it is
a press also which only few weeks since
took the MINNEsorIAN to task for its persistent
opposition to what we believe to be Swindle,
but which the Free Pres, honestly, as we
think, but mistakingly, has all along sustained
as JuQlclOuS puDilc pOuCy.
These facts of its previous consistent sup
port of the Railroad interest and of its location
at Rochester, which is one of the main points
on the Transit Railroad, makes the observation
of the Free Press in the article above quoted,
viz: that it is ''unable at present to see hoso
the change that has been made is to affect at
all .tavora6ly the prospects of the road
the more remarkable! 1t shows, that with
all the deep interest, from locality and previ-
GUS position, to cause vigorous support Of
the Transit Roads operations, the conductors
and friends of the Psss are beginning at last
to open their eyes to the truth, that, so far as
the Transit Railroad is concerned, in its in
ception, its progress and in its apparent future,
its whole ownership and management pre-
sents but one foul mass of reeking, Shiny,
feotid Corruption, in which the sole aim is
to steal and cheat, swindle and defraud the
community to enrich the pockets Of the few
possessing and claiming its ownership.
We are not surprised, however, that our
contemporary is awakened from its blind con-
fidence; and did its conductors but know.
that which is generally and VIGOROUSLY known
here in St. Paul, they would, if they are
the honest men we believe them to be, r.
val the MINxEsorIAN in loudly expressed alb
horrenee and denunciation of the whole con-

-"why shouldn't we use it while we have
it?"
But the law ! the aU! was the in way of
the success of the project. This law, however,
the Democratic caucus resolusd to epade, by
passing (as they did, another law postponing
entirely the regular winter session of the le-
gislature Cast winter's) or rather placing it
at SIBLEY's discretion, which amounted to the
same thing. Then the argument would clear
ly arise, that the existing session was "the
session next preceding the expiration of Gen.
SHIELDS term; and therefore, an election for
U. S. Senator could be safely held, and would
be entirely valid and in compliance with law
Quite cunning plan, wasn't it? But the
objection was interposed, that the euasion
would be too gross and glaring before the
people; that it would tend to destroy their
confidence in the Democracy, and though it
might gain Senator, the party would be in
Jured permanently in the future by it. To
meet this objection, and to afford plausible
pretext for the operation, we charge that
the Democratic legislative caucus thereupon
determined on most outrageous course of
conduct. This was to protraet the er;st;uo

various expedients, into the fall months and
then urge that there was no necessity for an
