washington correspond nc of the Evening Post.l
The annual statement the Post Office Depart

will show an alarming deficit. In 1865 there was
surplus OF 430. In 1865 there deficit the
first for several years, OF $685. 93. In 1857 the de-
iciency amounted to S3,99S,455. In 1858 1t will
prove to be In round numbers S. 100000 This
nually increasing deficit Is partly owing to the res
toration OF the mall service in Southern routes and
the subsidies for ocean mail service. But the causes
which wholly or In part in operation in 1867 do
do not fully account for the alarming deficiency in
1868. The voluntary increase Of pa granted by the
Postmaster General to contractors on Northwestern
routes has added considerably to this last deficit.

General Frank p. Blair-He Addresses a
Large Gathering Of Democrats.
LEAvENwoRrH, July 81, 1858.
General Frank p. Blair addressed an immense
meeting this evening. His speech was principally
devoted to the action OF the radical party In the re-
construction Of the South and the record Of General
Grant. He charged that the republicans having lost
the confidence Of the whole people Of the country,
had resorted to the support OF the blacks.
That It was from no love Of the negro
race that they enfranchised them, but
only a. q scheme to maintain themselves In
power. He said he had nothing to say against Gen.
eral Grant personally; that his military services
would ever be remembered with pride, but that
since he had entered the arena Of politics his acts
politically were proper matters for public criticism.
He said that General Grant had changed his views
on the subject OF reconstruction inc0nsstently hav-
ing at the close Of the war urged the Immediate ad
the Southern States chosen then by the people Of
those States But he said the secret OF the adherence
Of Generals Grant, Sheridan and other regular
party which has overthrow the prerogatives OF the
Supreme Court and Executive branch or the govern
sarlly based upon military power, would give con-
sequence to prominent ofcers OF the army. He said
nns By e me ena
People ss he ds1sd sas the sae
revolutionary; that the people OF the United States
at the last elections had repudiated negro suffrage,
upon which was based the whole reconstruction
scheme; that to overthrow by proper constitutional
means reconstruction acts but carrying the Will
Of the people. He charged that the radical party
only are revolutionary. In reply to remark from
the crowd he said that the radical party have made
apprehension respectable. General Blair spoke
with enthusiasm At the close music and brilliant
display OF fireworks followed.
Mr. o. W. Click, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor next addressed the meeting, followed by Colo
mel Charles w. BAR, the nominee for Congress and
General Blair leaves for Omaha tomorrow.
