Railroad way Mails.

For the agents to safely deliver or receive
pouches from any village or other given point,
when the train is flying at the rate of thirty
or forty miles an hour, has long been a sub
iect of serious consideration. Many an eye
and more arms have been jeoparded as the
faithful agents have discharged this part Of
their duty
The Post Office Department has long sought
some invention BY which all the way places
could be supplied with the mails, and the
pouch at each received in the mail car with
little or no danger To the agent or clerk. Our
fellow citizen, Mr., Augustus Jordan, has Just
perfected what we consider to be the great
desideratlm.
The apparatus or machinery for the pur-
pose Of expressing and receiving thu way
mails without stopping the tram, Is very
simple cheap, and durable contrivance. The
bag OF package to be delivered is deposited on
a vibrating shelf within the postal car, which,
by simple arrangement at each station, au-
dramatically inverted or dumped from the
top of the car to an elevated office or plat
form constructed some live feet from the car ,
and simultaneously from the same stand;
the bag pending from an arm is taken In, Tor
rather takes itself in.l The shelf and arm
both retiring after the operation, and thus
presenting no obstruction to the road
We congratulate the inventor and all the
railroad men concerned, on the success OF tins
invention Washington 4Stdl'. 3. e.i

A Good Appointment.

Under the above caption, we find IN the
4ynchburg Republican, Of saturday the tol-
owing:
General William Malone has been appein-
ted General Superintendent of the Norfolk
md Petersburg and the South side Railroads.
Cen NJ, has had much experience in The
arrangements OF railroads, and being an emil
nently practical man, he will without doubt
prove valuable acquisition to the interest Of
the roads which have been placed under his
supervision. Gen. NJ, Is distinguished
graduate Of the Virginia Military Institute,
aud before the war held the position Of Presi-
dent and Superintendent oI the Norfolk and
Petersburg Railroad.
We thin. there must he'3ane mistake about
the foregoing The office OF the Superlnten-
dent of railroad is always conferred by the
Boardof Directors, and We have heard Of no
such action on the part Of the Board of the
South Side Railroad

Bsgr The st. Louis Re1adAicoh chronicles a
most praiseworthy movement ON foot III that
,ity for the erection of sixty brick dwellings,
'wo stories in height, for the mechanics in the
nnighhorhood of the reservoir, each house to
ontain six rooms, three on each floor, and
each to accommodate two families, with sepe-
rate entrances to each story, and at a rent
rom ten to twelve dollars per month. This
i the beginning Of grand move, and one in
he right direction. The object is to get cheap
sad comfortable dwellings at low rents, t,r
the working classes, and to encourage northern
merchants to settle there

NATIONAL BANKS.

Shall the National Banks of the country be
forced to redeem their notes in New York
is the question which is now forced upon the
banking institutions of the country. The st.
Louis MOI Republican, one of the ablest pa
pers in the country, thus urgently argues for
par redemption in New York:
Unless (says the editor) we have some salts
factory arrangement. the noted of some, proba-
bly, many, of these (National banks will de-
prcciate and 1Ce shall harc upon as brood
Of Uild-catS.
Therefore, while the National Banks were
comparatively few in number and their ISSUES
had not reached their present volume, with
the certainty of great increase in that vol
ume, and while the war involved many heavy
disbursements, theseissues found pretty ready
circulation, and the notes of all the banks
without distinction remained at par. But
this state Of things cannot continue, now the
war has closed and the quantity of the Nation
al Bank circulation has so much augmented
that, had an unredeemed currency been toler-
able to the people of the United States, the
National Bank currency would never have
been called into existence Greenbacks would
have answered the purpose well. The profits
of issuing irredeemable paper are immense
Bat for wise reasons the Treasury was, by act
Of Congress, deprived Of those profits. Not
withstanding our want of money, in the midst
If costly war, when every energy was taxed
to the utmost, we renowned this privilege.
| We created the new banks for the special
purpose of issuing notes that should be re-
deemed A more valuable franchise i'll nc
country, was ever bestowed by a single act on
private corporations This franchise was
given that we might establish a sound uni
form currency. And. the people will not give
mp their right to apply the safeguard of rigi'
redemption. While the privileges are en-
ioyed the duties they impose must be ex
acted"

DECISION OF THE OATH FOR LAWYERS
Judge John ". Underwood, presiding in the
United States District Court, now i'll session at
Alexandria, Va, has decided upop the appii-
caticn of Francis L. Smith, Esq, who asked
TO be admitted to practice on taking an oath
that he had not aided the rebellion since he
received his full pardon from the President, in
June last, assuming that the act of January,
1865, requiring an oath that he had never aid
ed the rebellion was an e,r post .ftcto law, and
therefore unconstitutional, and that the par
don under the Constitution absolutely cancel
ed all former acts of disloyalty, Judge I'm
defwood held that unless the applicant could
take the oath required by the act of Congress
above referred to-which Mr., Smith says he
cannot do-he could not be admitted to prae-
tice in that Court. The petition was accord
ingly refused.

snciety of Washington city and the White

Lincoln to the lresi dency, is understood to be
the cause. The writer Of the article, Mr..

THE SOUTH. Accounts from every part of
the country, given us by correspondents and
travellers, represent the condition of things as
rather promising than otherwise. The peo-
pie almost everywhere are doing something on
their plantations, and great many negroes
are at work, Very little cotton viii be raised,
the main attention of the planters being di-
rected to the cereal crops. We have no doubt
that most portions of the South viii produce
sufficient for the consumption of the coming
year.
