A THIN BOARD.

We dropped in at the new rooms Of the
Board of Trade between - and to-day, the
hour when merchants most do congregate on
change, expecting to hear the hum Of many
voices and to find goodly representation Of
the merchants of Washington engaged COM
pairing notes and posting themselves for bust
ness transactions. Nary hum, nary merchant!
Superintendent Sardo was there with every
thing in apple-pie order-cosy tables, well
spread with latest papers, north, south and
local, maps on the wall, &c, &c, spIttoons for
the spitters, but not a merchant present to
read, talk, inspect or spit. We asked Mr..
Sardo about it. Had there been no mer-
chants there2 Well, yes-ten or fifteen had
dropped in at intervals, but no two at the
same time. 1t seemed not possible to cage
two at once. Now gentlemen Of the Board
Of Trade, this is really no joking matter. If
you do not wish your enterprise TO end in per-
feet farce, you must come up to the work with
united effort in the outset. Don't let the work
OF running the machine rest on half a dozen
painstaking members. Everything depends
on making an energetic start. and maintaining
the interest from the start. Every member of
the Board should make it point to visit the
rooms once day at least, and at some general
hour for meeting. When this has become the
habit of the members, it will be found a matter
of so much convenience and business value
that they will wonder how they yer dispensed
with it, But as yet it seems not easy to get our
business men out of the practice of the old
adage, Every tub on its own bottom" which
may be very safe rule for tubs, but is hardly
good one for cooperative members of an eff
fective business organization.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION

Some OF the New York newspapers are ex-
citing the minds of their readers with immense
headings and double loaded prophecies of war
on the Rio Grande between the United States
and France. 1t is represented that the French
are terrifying in Mexico and recei wing REIN
forcements; that orders have been received in
New York from Washington 10 get ready the
various troops stationed in the different mill
tary posts of that department for embarkation
70 New Orleans; that the quartermaster has
been directed TO furnish transportation TO all
soldiers, who are to rejOin their respective
regiments at Brownsville, Texas; and that Of
ficers of the regular army recruiting for
the cavalry in New York. When it is taken
into consideration, however, that the French
have been fortifying for the last year; that
there are not over two thousand troops in the
Department OF the East from whom TO send re-
Inducements; that soldiers on detached duty
rejoining their regiments in the field must
necessarily be furnished transportation, and
that recruiting for the regular army has been
going on ever since Lees surrender, the argu-
ment of these foreign war sensationists loses
much of its weight. There is small basis in
all this for war with France. The rumors
daily autographed from New Orleans are evil
DENLY served up for effect on the markets, and
there is little doubt that one half the reports
which have been received for the last two
weeks relating to French and Mexican affairs.
were concocted in the interest Of stock gam
bling.
The Governments of France and the United
States, in any event, will manage affairs of diff
ference at headquarters, and with some regard
to discreet craftsmanship. They certainly
will not allow any officious subordinates on the
RIO Grande to involve the two nations in hos

THE POSTMASTER GENlBAL's RKPORr-
The Washington correspondent of the Pitts.
burg Gazette writes that the Postmaster Gen
eral, in his annual report, will recommend
several important changes in the postal money
order system. The writer adds:
Mr.. Dennison proposes to make the compen-
saton Of postmasters of money order ofhces
uniform, in proportion to the amount Of bust.
ness done. by substituting fees for clerk hire in
the larger offices, to exact no fees on duplca ties
issued in place Of orders lost or destroyed, and
10 extend the limit Of amounts which may be
sent by a single order to one hundred dollars,
expecting by these changes to make the money
order bureau source OF revenue to the govern
menf as well as a convenience to the people.
The English money order system, by the re-
port of its chief, quoted by Mr.. Dennison, has
almost superseded ali other channels for the
transaction OF exchange by mail, in con.
sequence OF Its superior convenience and
safety.
