THE EXPRESS WAR.

The Merchants Union Express Company
have called in additional assessments
amounting to eight per cent on their capital
stock, which, with former assessments.
amounts 10 total of twenty-five per cent
called for since the organization of the
company. By the present assessment, saws
the Chicago Tribune, the company will re-
alize the sum OF twelve hundred thousand
dollars; and this is intended TO be kept as
a fund, in the nature of n guarantee TO the
bankers and business men of the country
that the Merchants Union Express is a
permanent and fixed fact. capable of stand
ing up against all combinations, and of
promptly paying all losses. The organiza-
ton of this company was great public
benefit, and its failure would be a calamity
TO the business of the country. The ex-
press business has grown up into 4 power
full and wealthy monopoly. y combina-
ton Of all the scccessful companies seemed
10 defy competition, and various attempts
to start opposition Companies have failed.
The combination seemed 10 hold the
pubic a. their mercy, and they hayenot been
at all backward in making the most of
their advantage. Their high charges re-
suited in the formation of the Merchants
Union Express Company. the most power
full and determined of all the corporations
that have attempted to stand up against
the old monopolists. Its success has
fqualled the expectations of its founders
and IFS lines now extend over nearly the
whole country. OF course, the old COM
panies have spared no effort to break it
down; but in this they have signally failed
It is the duty of the business men of the
country to see that they continue to fail
Should they succeed in breaking down this
new organization, it is not probable that
this generation would witness another
attempt to establish a competing express
company, and the old monopolies would
Immediately assess upon their customers
the cost of the war, to make good their
expenditure in breaking down their COM
petiior.
The plan of the Merchants Union Ex-
press is to charge fair and living rates for
the transportation of freight-neithcr more
nor less. If the Other companies carry at
less rates they do so at a sacrifice, for the
sole purpose of breaking this one down.
1t does not require very sagacious bust
ness man to see that in such case his
interests demand that he should sustain
the company that charge the living rates:
for he may rest assured that the moment
the other companies should succeed in
destroying competition, they would tax
him to make good their sacrifices, and inn
pose heavier burdens than ever on him
wiih impunity. OF course the companies
are too strong to be broken down by the
new one 1t is not desirable that they
should be. \ monopoly in the hands of
the Merchants Union would be, in the end,
rs bad as any other monopoly. What the
public wants is fair competition in the
express business, and this they viii have
if the Merchants Union is sustained during
the next twelve months.

PARIS ExHIBITIoS.-Congress recently
passed the following joint resolution:
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United Ssates OF
America in Congress assembled, That the
Commissioner of Agriculture be, and he is
hereby. instructed to collect and prepare.
so far as practicable. and with as little de
lay as possible. suitable specimens of the
cereal productions of The several States of
the Union, for exhibition at the Paris Ex-
position, and forward the same in proper
order and condition forsshipment to- J. C..
Derby. agent of the United States Govern
mcnt for the Paris Exposition, at New
York: Provided, that il shall require no
further appropriation from the public treas
ury.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, Isaac
Newton, has issued circular respectfully
soliciting the cooperation of all in further
ance of the object of the joint resolution.
He says:
An exhibition such as is proposed of
the finest samples of the best varieties of
wheat corn, and other cereals, would COM
mand the admiration of Europe, ms it would
assuredly arouse the pride of all Ameri-
cans, and l regret that this Department
has not been authorized TO make collec-
tons for this purpose until the present
time. The Exposition opens on the first
of April, and collections should be sent in
few days from the reception of this re-
quest to be in season for proper arrange
ment, packing, forwarding to New York,
and transportation to Paris
1T is desirable that SMALL packages of
The finest samples of the best varieties of
such products of your neighborhood shod
be forwarded, by mail, in packages of two
pounds or less, each distinctly marked
with name, donor, local name, and county
and State in which it was grown. Such
packages, addressed to. the Commissioner
Of Agriculture, can be sent without post
age from any post Office in the United
States

best of women, and judge. in league with
the murderer, lets him 60. rs TO how tar
the spirit ofthis hideous dispensation is
shared by other magistrates. and by THE
public opinion of Kentucky, we do not
stop 10 inquire. The state of things there
must be almost hopeless. il it Is posi-
bic for any other justice of the peace TO
set murderer free on personal eNplana-
lion. Evidently The negro has one right in
Kentucky, which white justice hardly dis
pu.es, and that is the right Of being killed.

The President has made a report to the
House in response to is inquiry conc ern-
ing removals from office. Thanks TO Mr.
McCullochs moderation. remarks the ".
Y. Tribune, which is to be judged of ct its
worth, the total number of removals under
the Treasury dispensation during the
Senate's recess was 100, ont Of whole
number of 913 officers whom the President
may appoint The War Department,
mcrciless as it can be when it wills, has
no formidable guilloiine statistics to
present, and it would appear that the
trance of the Navy Departments has been
undisturbed by any exc itement ofremovals.
But in the Post-Office Department, under
Mr.. Randall, have occurred l59 changes OF
lively political character TO Offset - for
the benefit Of soldiers, and out of 222 in
all. The President reckons that there are
9,i3i Offices in all the departments which
are subject ~ his appointments: and it is
his own showing that in not more than
one quarter of them have removals taken
place. The upShOt of ii all is that Mr..
Johnson wants credit for the number of
sins he might have committed but did not.
Let him have it.
