The MURDERER BIvENs.-The Jury
in the case OF. Bivins, the murderer Of
his wife, father and mother,at Woodstock,
Lenawee County, Michigan, found the
prisoner guilty, on Saturday night, OF
murder in the first degree. The facts OF
the triple murder have been already Civ
en- to our readers in their horrible details.
The Jury only took ten minutes to decide
on their verdict-a verdict which public
opinion had long since pronounced I'M
prisoument for fife in the State prison at
jackson, is the punishment to which the
distinguished criminal will be sentenc-
ed, and if ever there was a case in which
the law should "not abate aisinglejot, y
this is one. The only regret is that the
laws of Michigan are so lenient.

Mr.. CULLEN, Efforts 10 make a good ma

REPORT OF THE POSruasw
GENERAL

The Postal Department has been og,;r me-,

los 20, and the expenditures Sl3.G9i 71a o.

OF the year 1866 and 1867 contemplate q de-.
ficiency Of 81 ,207, 457, which is more than mo-

There has been an addition of 3. l63 miles q,
routes opened during the year, principally in III.
Southern States, and 1851 Of the $500 CID
Offices reopcned, at much less cost than before
and proposals have been invited for rcg.iablish-
ing nearly all the old routes.
The European mail service has been con-
Quoted for some years on the basis Of paving Ia
American steamers the whole OF the pos'ages ot
letters carried, and to foreign steamers the SEA

age Of ;$2,97Oper trip last year. The advantages
of such competition rather than Substituting ns.

tie Irregularities caused by the war. The law
requiring the advertising in the newspaper d

and discretion is urged in its stead.
The Money Order system is 20 far success
fully in operation that it has issued 74,277
orders for 81 $50, l22 - during the year; the
fees amounting only to two-thirds of the eX-

Our Charter Election yesterday resulted badly,
at least so far as Mayor is concerned. The
Unionists might, had they chosen, have conSti-
tuted the larger portion of triumphant Organi-
zaton that should rule our City so long as 1t
deserved to do so: but most of them chose 10
struggle for naked party ascendancy, whereby
they drove thousands Of Democrats pack W
Tammany Hall and elected its candidate 'o'
Mayor. Such result must inevitably follow d
rigid drawing Of party lines.
How MANY will read Alright the lesson, we
cannot say; but we know that our City VIII DC
honestly and frugally governed whenever her
better citizens resolve that she shall be, and
that they will ignore all party differences to
secure this end. So long aS she shall be gov
erned ostonsibly in the interest of either great
National party, she will be badly governed,
and no choice of Mayor can obviOte this
necessity We cannot out.vote the overwheim.
ing Democratic majority; we cannot draw party
lines in eager quest Of party victory without
causing thcm to BIO drawn also against us.
There is Just one way wherein wholesome,
honest Municipal rule can be secured; and that
is, by union Of all citizens who desire such
rule to effect it. And for that we mean to
struggle till it shall have been achieved.
AS to Aldermen, Councilmen and School
Officers, we believe the men chosen yesterday
are, as a body, decided improvement On those
they succeed.

and by resentment to wage war against the
Government, and in the Territories, by the col
lisions with the white race, have kept up
predatory warfare, which we have sent troops
to suppress. 1t ought not to be the policy Oh
the Government to exterminatc the red men,
but rather, through missions and trcaties'' 10
pacify them.
There have been 6, 29l patents granted during
the fiscal year. The work of the census has
been pushed as far as was possible. The work
upon the several branches Of the Pacific Rail
road appears to be progressing satisfactorily,
and they will doubtless be finished by the Speci'

made of the main line westward.
More money is asked for the completion Of
the Capitol. The inhabitants of the District
also want the Government TO help them pay the
local taxes, and to clean the city, and for Other
benevolent and humane purposes.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARy
OF THE INTERIOR,

II appears from the report of the Secretary
of the Interior that during the past year
4,5l3,73Si G acres ofthe public lands have been
granted to various parties, and that on the 3Oth
September there were still I32, 255, 035 acres
surveyed and undisposed Of For lands sold no
has received S7i5,427 %, an excess OF ten per
cent over the previous year. Different regula.
tons are in force in tho different territories re.
garding claims to unoccupied lands, and some
uniform law is asked. The lands are very
wisely sold for the sum necessary TO survey and
transfer them TO actual settlers and purchasers.
II is estimated that 100000 able-bodied men
are mining upon the public domain without
paying anything for the privilege. In view Of
the tax upon most other pursuits, it is suggested
they be not neglected.
The number Of pensions added to the roll
during the year was 1898, requiring 81 900
755 80 annual payment. Allowed during the
year were 2iG93, at an annual charge of
S2,51,I79. OF naval pensions there were
266 awarded, and S2O5, $50 G2 paid, which is
amply provided for by the investment Of tho
Government share of prize money. The in.
creasing number of pensioners demands u
largely-increased appropriation.
There are within our boundaries about
$4,000 Indians, most Of whom have been
and few loyal and progressive.
Some, however, have been iucitcd by Rebels
