Postmaster General Creswcll is
exhibiting a degree Of energy in
the "good cause" OF Radicalism that
should commend him highly to the
of his party. lie has
suspended IL great many Postoilices
in the South on the express ground
that they were situated in Demo
cratic neighborhood and he would
not give any advantages, postal or
otherwise, to rebels. He forgot the
exact date in 1860 and 1861, when
he made stump speeches in Mary
land in behalf Of a Southern Con-
fedcracy. lie declared just prior to
the election in Montana, that if the
Democrats carried the Territory in
the recent election, he would cut
the people there off from all postal
facilities. 1t remains to be seen
whether he will have the tcmcrity
TO fulfil his threat. Perhaps he
will, on the score Of economy, as his
colleague, Boutwell,, sold the Treas
ury printing presses at one sixth OF
their value, and is now meditating
purchasing another costly set, Such
is the result of RadicaIism.
The first volume of the diplo-
matte correspondence, containing
much of public interest, will soon
be ready for distribution. Among
other State papers are the. cores
pondenee between EX-Nlinisttr
Washburno and President Lopez, Of
Paraguay, portions of which when
published fast winter, attracted such
general comment from the press, a
statement of our relations with
Mexico, the condition of affairs in
Japan, and "A history of our late
diplomatic connections with Spain
and Fraucc, so far as they have pro-
crossed. This volume will be of
rare interest, and will be well wor.

The reunion Of officers Of both
Federal and Confederate armies at
Gotty sburg promises to be very
lame affair, so far as reported, The
Confederate officers generally de-
cline, and with good reason, to be
present on the occasion, and the
gathering Of Federal officers is
small. The people are getting very
tired of this ccaseless military
"buncombe" that during and since
the war has disgraced us as a na-
tion. The letter of General Robert
e. Lee con tanned one very sensible
remark which | quote II think it
wiser, moreover, not to keep open
the sores of war, but to follow the
examples of those nations who en-
dcayored to oblitcratc the marks OF
civil strife, to commit to oblivion
the feelings it cngendered, very

constructed country, a really fra

such as Gettysburg and Manassas.
But madness rules the. hour, and
madmen are our rulers.
The base ball fever this season
seems to be raging with extreme
virulonce. Among the "notablc
events of the. day" is the defeat of
the famous Mutual club of New
York, by the Nationals and Olynr-
pics of this city, the defeat by the
latter club being a complete and
crushing one. 1t is some satisfac-
tion for Washingtonians TO know
that all their clubs are non-pr6ics-

for the "honor Of the thing alone,
