OUR CALIFORNIA MAILS.

We believe observing, thinking men are every
day coming to the conclusion that the Federal Gov
eminent would do the country a signal service by
giving up entirely the business of Mail-carrying
and allowing printed or written advces, like cot
ton or Goldfish, to find their way from producer to
consumer as they best might.
Doubtless, there are great and obvious advant-
ages TO be realized through the stringent monop-
oily of letter-carrying now enjoyed by the Govern
ment. Doubtless, the abrupt dscontnuance of the
Federal Mails would work temporary interruption
impedimeDt, and anarchy, in the diffusion of intel
ligence. Doubtless, many would for a season pay
three or four times as much for the service as it
now costs them. But, on the other hand, we have,
in the Package Express system, already firmly
established and radiating from the great CONNER.
cal centers to nearly every township and village,
a capital framework whereon to stretch the veins
and arteries of Free Mail system, which would
soon replace the wretched machinery of our pres
ent rotten and rickety Mail Service. A good Gov
eminent Mail system, such as they have in Great
Britain is probably the best thing possible; but
Private Mails and Free Competition are probably
next best, and what we now have the worst system
possible
Congress has been urged all Winter to provide
for Mail Service between the Atlantic States and
California, as the old contract had expired and the
temporary arrangement which had replaced it
would expire with the current mouth The House
acted with reasonable promptness; but the Senate
studionsly avoided the subject till the last sands of
the Session were running low, when the majority
took care 80 to act that nothing should be eected

II is instructive to see how few of the Demo-
cratic newspapers understand that the split at Bal
timore sprung from question of principle. Thus
The Journal Of Commerce urges both Douglas and
Breckenridge to withdraw, so that there may be
q new convention TO nominate new candidate
whom all Democrats can support. The Phiiadel-
phia Ledger family hopes there will be only one
set of electors in Peansy lvania. The Herald
proposes combined electoral ticket for the State
of Eew.York. The Trenton Truc american calls
on all tho Democrats of New-Jersey to unite 10
support of either Breckenridge or Douglas, 1t
doesn't much matter which, ADD to run only one
electoral ticket 1t will be folly to run two sets OF
chi ddntes for electors in Connecticut, says The
N,u. Haren Register. Thus these blind guides have
evidently not yet succeeded in perceiVing that the
real reason of the catastrophe at Baltimore was
not squabble about candidates, but an irrecon-
cllabe difference of ideas. The Breckenridge
party represent the idea that property In
slaves is intrinsicaly the same as any other
property, and ought, therefore, to receive IN
the Territories all necessary special protection
from Congress. On the other hand, Mr.. Douglas
and his followers maintain that property in slaves
is iutrDsically uplke other property, and that its
regulation in the Territories must be left to the
Terrier al Legislatures, which may either encour-
age 1t by favorable, or assail it by uofayorable
legislation Now, this is Dot merely trihing dis
crepaDcy on an unimpOrtant matter; it is vital
q, tagonism of opinion on matter of the gravest
moment. The two doctrines canuot live together;
and the men who hold them form not merely the
wings of one and the same party, but two dist ct
parties inspired by conflicting notions, and aiming
at opposite ends. No doubt there are plenty OF
fellows in each body who care nothing for principle;
no doubt there are plenty who are ready to follow
Douglas or Breckenridge alike; but these are
merely adventurers and camp followers The
truth u.s. that any fusion between the
parties must involve the total remuneration
Of the principles held by the one or
the other. Short of such remuneration, no such
arrangement as is proposed by the journals we
have cited would seem to be possible. However if
they can bring it about, We shall throw no obstacle
in the way. Let us have straight fight if you can,
gentlemen 1t will be much more interesting than
what you now promise u.s.

NORTH CAROLINA.

On the second Thursday Qlth) of august, the
" Rip Van Wrinkle of the south holds her State
Election, and the Douglas and Breckenridge split
will probably make itself elt in the result. Doubt
less, large majority of the Democrats will vote 10
November for Breckenridge; but there is srro g
prospect of sufficient spit on Douglas to give the
State to Bell and Everett. But, preceding that,
there is State contest of serious import, which
shows how iDexrricaby the 4" irrepre-siote niger
is interviewer with all our current politics, aud
how futile are The effots Of our venerable citizen
to expel him.
Mr.. John w. Ellis is Governor Of North Caro-
lima, elected in 1853 over ID. X. McRae (alsO a
Democracy by vote of 56,222 TO 1886. Mr.
Buchanan in 56 had 48, 246 TO 36,6 $50 for Fillmore
and in the Governor election Of that year. Bragg
(Dem.) had 1855 to 1859 for Gilmer (Am
Mr.. Ellis is running for reelection, opposed by
William Pool (Bell and Eyerett), who has seen fit
to "agtate the Slavery question" by proposing a
repeal of the constitutional provision whereby slaves
are exempted from taxation, save those VINO are III
the prime of life, and these assessed at about
one-ihird their actual value. The State has In.
voyed itself some Eight Millions in building or
aiding Railroads; Taiatinn has become Onerous;
and while the Shareholders are but 1.-THE of the
population, the laws are so shaped as to exempt
them from their just quota of taxation. Mr. Pool
proposes a change, which hardly fail to be pop
uar in the West, where there few slaves, while
the I'D Wing strength is largely centered there
We do not anticipate his election, unless by aid Of
the Douglas men; but he is opening a train of
thought which must ultimately and radically revo-
lutIonize the State.

The arrangement for conveying California Mails
twice per month each way via Panama has expired
by limitation, and has not been rcplac d; but we
have Two Overland Mails 10 blast as follows:
/. The Butterfeld, via New-Mexico, Arizona
and San Diego, twice week, carrying letters on'y
through in twenty one days, for 100000 per
abnum.
g. The Salt Lake, from 81. Joseph to Salt Lake
City and thence (by another contraet) to Placer
ville CAL, once fortught through 10 about thirty.
four days; cost some 100000 per spnum.
We are thus paying about 100000 per annum
for Mail Service between the Atlantic and the
Pacific States, yet we are 10 have no Mails. Let
ters may be sent over the crcu tous Arizona route.
but no ne @spspers; these might he sent by Salt
Lake; but the time on that route is TOO slow, 80
that they would be worthless when received. So
we are to have the luxury of paying hisa for Mails,
knowing that they are of little u-e.
The Posmaster-G General has power to give the
Postage accruing on the California Mails in pay
ment for their transportation by Panama; and
il is understood that the steamships would take
them on that lay if there were no free matter.
They would carry the paying matter for the
proceeds but the bulk of the California Mails
goes under frank, and they cannot see their ad-
vantage 10 carrying this for Dothingi while the
Postmaster general insists on the whole or none,
aud so the service must stop or the laws be de-
fed in making new contract. OF course, IL
will STOP The Senate is grossly wrong in the
premises, but the House is far from faul'less.
Had it coDcurred in the abolition of the Frank
ing Privilege, the Mails might have been carried
by way of the Isthmus as hitherto, at no extra
cost to the Government. But the Frinking Priv
ilege must be upheld; so the Law must be defet
and the Treasury sacked, or the Mails must stop.
What the public good required Of Congress was
as follows:
/. The abolition of the Franking Privilege.
2. The transfer of the swift (Butterfeld) Mail
from the circular to the direct route, and its
change from semi-weekly to daily service, car
rying everything that pays.
9. The transfer of the slow line from the direct
to the circular route, and its restoration to o
weekly service.
a. A weekly service, for the six Summer months
of the year only, from Minnesota to Puget's Sound,
to be extended in due time to the whole year.
ALI this might be done for 81 100000 per an
mum, and it would double aud treble the accruing
postage within five years. But it would not en-
rich any particular company or speculator; and so
it cannot get done. The California Steamship in
terest afford to speud 100000 per Session at
Washington to defeat any complete provision for
Overland Mails; hence the present anarchy. We
trust il will not always be thus.

AFRICAN SLAVE-TRADE

The Express is attempting to enlighten the pub
lie on the subject of the enforcement of the laws
for the prevention and suppression of the slave
trade. According to that journal, it is great
mistake to suppose that the fitting out by slave
traders of vessels in this City is not looked after
with the greatest vigilance. Indeed, the difficulty
would seem to be, if we are to believe The En-
press that this vigilance is carried 30 far as to sub
ject the vessels engaged in the lawful trade TO
Africa to great vexation and annoyance. One
would suppose, after reading The Express that
hardly vessel is allowed to sail for the African
coast without being subject to seizure, detention,
examination, and libel.
The very small number of detentions and exam
nations which occur would rather seem to conflict
with this alleged state of things 1t is the prevail
ing belief that large proportion of the vessels
employed in the African save.trade are fitted out
at this port. What the number of vessels employed
in the bona fde African trade may be, we do not
know; but if there were the slightest truth in the
ales alton of The Express, that there are British
agents here in New-York whose business it is to
watch, inform upon, and cause to be arrested
ever! VESSEL ntttd out IOr the COast Oh africa,
whether to be engaged in legitimate or illegit-
g mate traffic" we might expect one or two arrests
every week, instead OF the few actually made.
The owners of vessels really fitted out for lawful
trade on the coast of Africa are, we suspect, very
seldom subjected to any annoyance by way Of seiz-
ure or detention. Itby no means follows, as The
Express seems to assume from the fact that vessel
discharged after being seized, that there was no
reason for seIzng her. Every SLAYER of course sets
up the pretense of being lawful trader, and
instances are Of not unfrequent occurrence, in
which vessels discharged by our New. York author.
tiles Cd that ground, have afterward been seized
on the coast Of Africa or Cuba with cargo of ne.
groes on beard.
Itwould be very easy thing for the owners of
vessels employed in alawfulAfrcan trade TO escape
any detention. Let them give seasonable notice
to the authorities of their destination and let them
court an investigation instead of affecting Sc
cresy which naturally subjects them TO suspicion.
As to the scores of vessels which, according to

The City Inspector makes most humiliatng
confession He denies that the notorious swlndler,
Enright, who has been made Assistant Health
Warden in bis Department ~as appointed by him.
On the contrary, he asserts that the appointment
was made by Mayor Wood, and he protests that
between the Mayor and Common Council, in order
TO hold his position as City Inspector, he has been
obliged to yield up the appointment of every sub
ordinate Office under him to them. So greedy
were they of places for their friends, that they
deprived him of the appointment of his own mes
sengers, and members of the Common Council
have also undertaken to step between him and the
execution of the health ordinances. Under such
circumstances, it appears to us that any man not
absolutely broken to the yoke Of slavsh submission
would have scorned to hold Office under any such
terms
