THE POST OFFICE.

The New York Euening Post is strongly in
favor Of abolishing the government monopoly
of transmitting the correspondence of the poo-
pie. After abiding to the great saving, both
TO the government and the people, which would
thus be made, it adds;
There is another advantage to be derived
from surrendering the mails to the private eX-
presses. The expresses would be responsible
for every dollar of money and every article Of
value committed to their charge. The post
office department is not. II the government
appoints postmaster who is a rogue, or makes
a bargain with dishonest mail contractor,
and he steals the money enclosed in our let
tors, there Is no redress Great as our loss
may be, the government, whose agents we
were compelled to trust, and who have robbed
us, makes no restitution, Private expresses
are subject to a different rule. The govern
mcnt is above the law and SCOTS at the idea
Of making compensation to the injured person;
public expresses are compelled by law to make
good any losses we may suffer from the inf
deity of their agents.
Then again, the expresses are more pune
tual than the government mails In thou
sand instances the expresses outrun and dis
lance the mails. The expresses depend for
success on their reputation for ayailing them
selves of the most rapid means of commune
cation. and delivering letters and parcels with
the greatest exaotness the government has
no such inducement to exertion and vigilance
Whether it perform its work well u i'll, we
must employ it to carry our letters.
To speak the truth respecting the post Of
flee department, it is, regarded simply from a
financial point of view, spendthrilt device, q
most expensive folly. Fifteen millions of dol
lars are paid annually to work the awkward
and unsatisfactory machinery ,-and only eight
millions of dollars are received back so that
we lose seven millions a year by ENGRAVING
this excrescence upon our government, in i'm
itation of the practices of Europe. This mo
nopoly of the mails is an intrusion upon tn,
province of individual enterprise, as much a
the monopoly of salt and tobacco which SOM
OF the governments Of Europe have seized int,
their hands. We dare say there are person
in certain parts of the old world who, by mer
force of habit, can as little form an idea of
government without the monopoly of salt an,
tobacco, as some OF those in this countr
whom we call statesmen can form an idea O
government without post Office depart
ment."

CABor, Feb, 81, 1860.
Mr.. Editor Tho pupils of the district
schools in this town came together on the
evening Of the 9th inst, for general spelling
trial, at which were offered several prizes. the
first of which was Webstcr's Unabridged
Dictionary. This prize was awarded to Mas
ter Charles b. Putnam, IA years of age
Three other prizes, literary works Of less val
nc, fell to young Misses, the youngest Of whom
is not yet eight years old. The very large
attendance at this and the adjourned trial,
held one week subsequent, showed a com
mendable interest awakened to this much neg
lected branch Of study.
After the spelling had closed, at 8 o'clock.
the Brass Band appeared in the gallery, and
most pleasantly surprised the scholars and
spectators with several pieces of music.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.--The Supreme
Court Of Ohio decided the case of Alfred J.
Anderson v. Thomas MIligan on Thursday
last. The Court held that persons having a
mixture Of African blood in their veins, the
prepondeTance being white, were by the Con-
stitution of 1901 entitled to exercise the cleo
tive franchise, and that no change having
been made in this respect by the Constitution
of 1851, the plaintiff having but one-eighth
Of African blood, and his vote having been
refused at the Presidential election Of 1856,
for that reason alone, therefore the Court held
that he is entitled to recover for the violation
of the right conferred on him by The Consti-
tuition. The decision was unanimous.
