MERCHANTS UNION EXPRESS COMPANY.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of thii morning
contains the highly complimentary rotice
of the establishment and success of this
new company. The "Merchants' Union
meets with special favor everywhere: and
not only this, but it is generally regarded
as necessity to relieve the business COM
munity from the eXtortion and expressions
of the monopolies which have so long held
sway. One of the most auspicious tokens
of its success, is the almost entire unanim-
ity with which its advent is hailed by the
press of all the principal cities of the coun-
try:
We are glad TO chronicle the success of
this association, and il is q success that will
as assuredly continue, as that it Is immcas-
urably superior, so far ms the interest of
the public is concerned to all rival compa-
nies. This is patent to the whole business
community of the East and W est; il is
prompt, reliable, and since it has been es-
tablished the universal public has realized
the effect in Il large reduction il, the cost of
transportation.
a few days since injecting of merchants
was held in Dayton, at which Ovcro one hum
dred names were pledged to support, with
their patronage, this company. This was,
however, but an echo to the universal sem
timent throughout the country, While in the
great commercial metropolis, New York.
the feeling among the influential business
men almost approaches enthusiasm.
The Company may indeed be dcnomina-
ted mercantile and trading mutual pro-
lection association, for it was originated for
the purpose of keeping down Il monopoly

cosmopolitan character will be sufficiently
exemplilied in the fact that it is represent
ed by not less than thirty thousand stock
holders, also pretty sufficient guarantee
of its firm foundation, and the utter impos--
sibility of buying IL out, as was the case
with an opposition company started about
year ago.
The old companies, alarmed at the gigan-
tic rival that has so suddenly started I'm
their path, have adopted narrow and con-
traeted policy that will in the end prove
more injurious to themselves than TO their
young and vigorous competitor. Remarks
ing upon this, the New York Tribune SAYS
Their agents were instructed TO carry
freight at such rates as was supposed
would deprive the new company of busi-
ness. No limit was fixed to the deductions
that might be made. None should com

will receive no freight from the Merchants
Union, nor ship to it, nor, indeed, do any
business With IL whatever, they are getting
ahead of the times. IL is the same rs To

tor might reject passenger. But they go

VERMONT and Maine have both spoken, and in
tone which cannot be mistaken, in condemna-
tion of the policy of reconstruction advocated by
the present Administration. If the other
States which to hold elections this Fall sho d
follow the path upon which Vermont and Maine
have so boldly entered, the verdict of the masses
will be that the Southern States will not be ad-
mitted to representation in Congress, no matter
how loyal the agents whom they select may be,
until they have ratified the amendments to the
Constitution proposed at the last session of Con-
gress.-4Hd California.

HAD Coon TNE.-On Monday night last our
citizens were treated to good, old fashioned
wedding by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Isaacks. Inyi-
tatons had been extended to every one in town.
and to every acquaintance of the bride and BRIDE
groom in the country, and at the appointed time
Odd Fellows Hall was crowded. At the con-
clusion of the ceremony an invitation was given
to all present to repair to the residence of the
happy couple. Of course everybody availed
themselves of the invitation, and on arriving
there found that ample preparation had been
made to receive them-a table was found spread
that would have satisfied the taste of an epicure
for quality, and delighted the eye of gourmand
for quantity. Rich cake and choice drinkables
abounded, while the tables fairly groaued beneath
the weight of the other concomitants of a prince
ly feast. The occasion was joyous one, and
highly appreciated by all present.-Shasta Cou-

A Frank Reply.

The following letter from John S. Mann, Esq,
of Condersport, Potter county, Pennsylvania, is
pointed and opportune.@ Randall, chief of the
" bread and butter Brigade at Washington, ad-
dressed Mr.. Mann, supposng him to be still Post
master at Coudersport, position which he oc-
cupied up to January last, when he took his seat
as Representative from his county in the Legis-
lature. Not knowing that he had resigned, Ran
dali sent him, as he did to all Postmasters, g
printed circular, to which Mr.. Mann returned the
following reply
CoUDERsPoRT, Pa, July 6, 1866.
Hon. a. W RANDALL-Dear Sir Your favor
of June Goth, enclosing call for National I'm
ion Convention, is received, with request that
if the call meet my appreciation, I will signify
it by brief letter for publication.
presume l have as good a right to signify my
dissent approval of this call, and | therefore
take the liberty of saying that have no smpa-
signed to it.
In the Spring of 1862 spent some weeks in
Washington, and every day listener to the
great debate in the Senate on the right and du-
ty of confscatng the property of traitors. The
speeches of Cowan, Doolittle and Browning, on
that occasion, were all calculated, if not intend
ed, to throw obstacles in the way of the triumph
my friends that those Senators would 90 over to
Copperheadism before the contest was settled
The endorsement of this call by the Copperhead
members of Congress shows that is the bridge
over which these betrayers of their constituents
are to march to the dsloyal party of the nation.
If you think you can build up party of any
strength by parading the names of these recre-
ants to the principles that exalted them into pow
er, you deceive yourself.
The people are in earnest; they have made
such sacrifices to overthrow treason as no pen
can portray, and no sophstry can cheat them out
of the just fruits of thei victory, so dearly pur
chased-the first of which is, that loyal men, if
there be only FIVE thousand - in State, should
control its destinies and fill its Offices.
Your movement seeks to give the control of
the Government into the hands of those who
sought to destroy it, and their sympathizers.-
1t will fail, just as the great Chicago disloyal
movement failed. Remember the effort to build
up a Tyler party, and take warning
Truly yours, for National Union of loyal men.
JOHN S. MANN.
