Chicago Jacobin newspaper speaks of
the "reign of ruftianism" in Tennessee,
and the lawful times" they are having
there. Tennessee has republican form
of government" 1t has ''loyal" Cover
nor It has ''loyal' Legislature It
has "loyal' members of Congress. No
body but "loya" niggers is allowed to say
much at the ballot box or anywhere else.
Considering all these things, and that Ten
nessee has been reconstructed ;" that
men engaged in heSnterests Of God and
humanity direct, govern, and control it,
it is very singular that there should be
lawful times and ''reign of rufianism'

.THE SKowHEGAN Posr OFFIoE.--The Maine
Standard and Eastern Argus have taken oc-
casion, rather unhandsomely, to express their
satisfaction at the removal of Mr.. Philbrick
from the Skowhegan post office. We have no
interest whatever in defending Mr.. Phiibrlck.
If he has been guilty of any misconduct the
fault and the penalty are his alone. But II ne
has not been guilty of any fault, than the COM
mon instinct of fairness demands that his vin-
dication should be as public as the disgrace IN
flicted by his summary removal We mem
toned Tuesday the fact that the Department
had brought no charges against him, and that
the people of Skowhegan are almost unanl-
nous in desiring his restoration. We give
now the statement of the case which appears
in the Skowhegan Clarion, from the pen OF
Mr.. Moses Littleield, who has been for more
than twenty years an assistant in the post
Office there and who appears. to have been
chiefly concerned in the transaction which has
been misrepresented to Mr.. Philbrick's injury:
About the first of August, person made
his appearance here who called himself j. 7.
Thompson. He made frequent inquiries for
letters, and twice he came into the office while
the mail was being opened and asked us to ex-
anime tne DOStou packages OF letters, to see IT
there were any for him. No letter ever came
to this office from Boston, but one did come
from up river, which was delivered to him
and which he stated after reading it, belonged
to him. A day or two after receiving this let
ter, he came down from up river one morning
in one OF the stages and stated to Mr.. Phil.
brick that he expected package by express,
and asked him TO get it, as he was going down
river that day, and should return that night
and go out of town on one of the stages
Mr. Phiibrick' did procure at the express office
package of money containing three hun
dred dollars, and after the arrival of the
cars that night. Thompson came into the office
signed receipt and took the package, paying
| TO us 90 cents, the amount of the express bill.
| Afterwards another person appeared and
| claimed to be the true j. p. Thompson, to
| whom the money belonged, and Mr.. Philbrick
| has paid the money over to him. A SPECIAL
| agent of the p. o. Department was sent here
| to investigate the matter and after thorough
/ investigation, he became fully satisfied that
| there was no ground of complaint against Mr..
| Philbrick as Post Master and further than
| this he had no authority to act. He accordingly
SO reported to the Department, but in the mean
| time, some one had been at work and misrepre-
scented the facts to the Department, and the
agent was directed to return and remove Mr..
| Phllbrick, which he has done Now we claim
| that as matter OF justice to Mr.. Philbrick the
department. is bound by every rule of right
and Justice to show sufficient grounds for his
removal, OF reinstate him again in his Office

PORTLAND AND KENNEBRc RAILRoAD.-
There is no railroad, i'll this State at least, and
as we believe, in no other State, where the
officers look more TO the comfort and safety OF
their passengers than do those of the Portland
and hennebec Railroad They have lust placed
on Mitchell's train one OF the most comfortable
monitor smoking ears that can be found any
where 1t is finely finished, being beautifully
painted aud frescoed, and is furnished with
about 40 cane-backed swiveled chairs, with
high backs and easy cushions. The spittoons
are of a new patent being sunk in the floors
of the car. The light and ventilation are per-
feet, and the conductors private room is an
easy, comfortable place, beirg something
new in these cars. The car was built by the
Portland aud Kennebec Railroad Company at
Augusta, and some new passenger cars are
now going up at the same place. So long as
this company CAN turn out such handsome and
convenient cars there will be no necessity for
this road, or any other, to go out of the State
to purchase running stock. t-
