NNHE Albany COTTON GIN Manufactur-
Il ing Company, manufacturers of the
celebrated ''Star" Cotton Gins and Con-
Lever and Endless Chain Horse Powers,
and other agricultural machinery.
Our Star" Cotton Gin and Condenser
have taken first premiums in every in
stance where entered at Southern Fairs,
competing with the best Gins Of the coun-
try made by other parties.
At the two great Fairs of the Mechanics
and Agricultural Association, held at New
Orleans successively in November, 1866,
and January, 1868, the "Star" Gin and
Condeneer took nb-at both Fairs -da all
the premiums offered on Gins and Con-
densers, against competition embracing
all other Gins Of any prominence in the
country. Also, at the last two State Fairs
held at st. Louis, Mo-, our Gin and Con-
denser took the first premium against a
powerful competition.
The Condenser attachment being new to
most planters, we wish to say that it en-
tirely obviates the necessity of clint
room," as with it Gin may be used in the
open air, and the sheet. or bat, as it is dis

ten-fold. Deliveries in. all parts of the
country are made daily, in many districts
several times day, and in the city of Lon,
don almost hourly. So perfect is the sys-
tenn in, London, and so, numerous are the
boxes for the receipt of letters, that per-
sons living in the West End can readily send
letter to trading house in the city, four
or FIVE miles off, receive an answer send a
second letter and receive second answer,
before the close Of business hours. The
system is so thorough that the people have
confidence in it, and they depend upon the
postofice as they would upon special mes
senger, and give it their patronage. The
consequence of this has been seen in the
receipts In 1851 the gross revenue was
larger than it was in 1910, and in 1868 the
net revenue exceeded that Of any previous
year. In 1848 new branch of the postofice
was established, called the book post, to
which was afterwards added the pattern post.
By these, books and patterns, not of any
intrinsic value, can now be sent to- any part
of the United Kingdom, and, by recent pos
tai treaties, to many parts of the world.
The money order Office, by which small
drafts can be obtained at any one postofice
in the United Kingdom and transmitted to
any part of it, was another off-shoot Of
penny-postage. And finally, in 1861, Par
Lament engrafted system of postoffice
savings banks upon the postal service, which
was carried out by Sir ROWLAND HILL with
his usual administrative ability. He had
long since been regarded as public bene-.
factor, had been knighted, had been voted
and paid fifteen thousand pounds, and had
been finally made, in 1860, knight Of the
Cross of the Bath.
The American system, in spite of the i'm
provements recently engrafted upon it, can
never rival the English in efficiency, while
the administration of the postofice depart
ment is subject to the whimsical and often
corrupt changes Of party "rotation." Until
the tenure of Office of public servants is
made to depend, not on their politics but
on their merit, the government canEot e1-
pect to command the integrity and capacity
which are necessary to carry on efficiently
the large and complicated machinery ofthis
department. Until then we must
take such management of the postal service
as we can get, and be thankful that it is no
worse.

Our Postal System.

One of the most striking improvements
of the times in which we live is to be found
in the growth and development Of the pos
tal system. At the North, where the pop
ulation is dense and the need Of frequent
and speedy mail communication is urgent,
the facilities afforded by the postal author
tiles are far greater than any which the
Southern States have yet enjoyed. In New
York, where the postmaster aspires to imi-
tate in some measure the London system,
deliveries are now made seven times day,
and in Philadelphia the transmission Of
local letters is much facilitated by the use
of mail boxes on the street cars. In Bal
timore they have at present three deliveries
day. But, as compared with the postal
service Of England, the American system
is still both imperfect and inefficient.
The machinery Of the English postal or
ganization is the result of years Of expe-
rience and the trained judgment of men who
have risen steadily, by dint of merit and
perseverance, from the lowest ranks to the
highest Offices, and have grown gray in pub
Lie service. In 1840, the principle of uni
form postage was first adopted in England.
An experimental charge of four pence per
letter was first levied. This was soon after
wards followed by another change, and the
uniform penny rate was adopted. Since
then, the business of the postofice in the
United Kingdom has increased more than

his whole stock in trade, if there be added to
it plodding industry ip politics, constant

that may impose on mixed crowd of noisy

nothing but an Industrious politician, Of whose
