moralized all the mail matter going
north for two months, just to satisfy
his own petty spite. And that is
only Illustrative of the whole postal
concern the country over The
smallest official in the land can do
anything he pleases about the mail
matter, except kill man, and the
Department be none the wiser. IL
man is removed, ten chances to one
it is for personal spite. regardless OF
his fitness for the position and the
general political cleaning out o! such
a complicated institution every few
years, is enough of itself to make it
more corrupt than Nasty ever con-
ceived. In short, in these days of
Presidential fops, set of Federal
officers have no certainty Of official
life half the length of an admins
tration, unless they eat their own
dirt for living. There is prac-
tice in vogue among the honest
miners and people generally of the
Pacific Coast, of mailing newspa-
pers to friends East the same as let
tiers. You wouldn't believe hardly
the number of double letters "
that never reach their destination
never are heard of here? Well,
what becomes of Them The whole
thing is grand blk. But whether
it can be remedied by the present
system of Government is question.
If Government ever does reach and
do justice to criminal or delinquent
it is an accidental circumstance or
simply spite-work on the part of It's
agents. Rings " and rottenness
is about all there is of il nothing
good about it but the idea. Old
Wigfall. as he turned his back upon
it, said with much truth that it was
not strong enough to hang man for
anything and yet the more central
lied it becomes the lo0ser and less
responsible it becomes respecting
its affairs in detail. 1t is fast be-
coming subject to corporations, mo-
nopolies, rings, and rings within
rings, as its own reports show. Con
gress is a collection of committees
owned by outsiders. But the Postal
Department is about the only one
that comes directly home to the PEG
| pie, and yet it is only one branch OF
the great political pandemonium.
The only relief is through postal
telegraph system and private ex-
press arrangements, and the powers
that be are too cowardly to act until
the people are unanimous on a re-
form.
don't feel a bit relieved yet, but
the length of this warns me that ]
must let the subject Go.

deal to say about the Postoffice at |
Confederate Crossroads, which |
might have been much better said of |
the Institution at Washington
Washington is the only real Confed-
crate Crossroads on earth, and | |
doubt very much if the four corners
of perdition could disgorge a greater
confederation of devils and Demo-
Gratis than stalk between the two
ends of "the avenue " at Washing
ton from year to year.
Well, suppose l ought to say
word or two about the Postoffiee
building at the Capitol. 1t is locat-
ed just across the street from the
Patent Office, and both are mile
from any other Office. The building
is of the "palatial " order of archi-
lecture, according to some authors,
and without any order more than
den of thieves, or others. | don't
know that it is necessary for me to
commit myself to the extent of eX-
pressing an opinion. The three
buildings = Treasury, Patent and
Post 0ffices-are nearly of the same
size, and in general outline don't
differ materially that is, the mate
rial is a mixture of everything
shoddy Government would naturally
adopt. | expect to see all of these
old stone-piIes covered with mo-
sale work of precious stones gath
cred from all parts of the world.
The three buildings mentioned are
large blocks standing alone in the
national frog pond, and were it not
for their fiat tops, they would look
more like the Three Buttes on the
Forty-mile Desert than like the three
Pyramids of Egypt. The Treasury
aud jug (or White House) should
each have a dome, and then we
would have a good burlesque on the
Three Tetons of the Wind River
Mountains. The Potomac is the
great Wind River of the Allegha-
news, and the Dome of the Capitol
is the great tedt on which one-halt the
American people want to live at the
expense of the other half. Hello !!
what's become of the Postoffice!
It's mostly to be found in the Dead
Letter Office-it found at all. The
p. o. Department is the great dead
letter of all dead and sinking things
in and around the National Capital.
The Dead.Letter Office is the princl-
pal feature, and it is more symbolic
than real for most letters are de-
stroyed before they get there. Ar
temus Ward rather made the show
business respectable than ridiculous;
while Nasty couldn't render the T.
O. Department Of the United States
more contemplate than it naturally
is. if he had all the satire of Rabe-
lais and Juvenal his disposal.
The only thing that an be done, Is
to keep the concern before the peo-
which it does pretty well OF It's
own accord, and that is all there is
TO be said in its favor. 1t is so rot
ten and unreliable that every man,
woman and child in the land can
curse it from just cause, and all ma
lions combined couldn't do the sub
iect Justice. No civilized people on
earth to-day has more hltchlng,
dragging newspaper and letter-mall
arrangement than the United States.
A sack of letters commands abont
as much respect in al part of the
country, at the hands of clerks,
agents, contractors and employees,
as would a bundle of old rags and
newspapers have about as much show

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The action of the Cabinet on Tuesday
has been matter of speculation almost
altogether since that day, and the pub
lie has been very anxious to know
exactly what was done. While every
one else has been seeking the news the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser telegraphs
as follows to his paper;
The friends of Cuba are elated at the
result of the Cabinet meeting Friday,
and at the news from Spain.
General Sckles has been undoubted-
" authorized to offer the present rulers
of Spain large sum for the acquisition
of Cuba. .tu
The negotiation is very delicate
one, but great confidence is felt in Gen.
eral Sickles' tact. 1t is confidently
believed that the necessities of the
Spanish Government and the personal
ambition of Prim and Serrano will nlti-
mately compel them to accede to the
proposed terms.
1t is believed that the chief obstacle
to the sale of Cuba arises from its I'M
popularity with the masses. But
spanish statesmen freely admit that the
LOSS Of Cuba is caly question of time,
and they doubt 80 ozpediency of VAST
'ng ley and life in futile effort to
save of tns iat table result. This
fee,irc ~dded 70 the munifoient offers
of the " 4.led States Government, may
operate to prevent any very earnest
efforts to suppress the rebellion.
1t Is confidently stated that the
Spanish Government will be unable to
send the reinforcements of men and
munitions to Cuba that have been de-
manded by Captain General Do Rhodes.
In that case the Cubans will be enabled
to obtain substantial success that warran
our Government in extending belliger-
ent rights to the PATRIOTS.
The President and majority of his
Cabinet are now in favor Of the adop-
ton of energetic measures on behalf of
the Cubans in the event Of the rejec-
ton of Minister 5ickles' offer for the
purchase of the island.

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

We do not know that we can blame
PRESIDENT Grant il he misunderstands
affairs in Virginia, when we reflect that
there are 9,189 Vote it Downs who
ave still on the aggressive order, and,
being native Virginians and mixing in
with our people in all political matters,
a, re thereby enabled to cast strong doubts
oin the designs of the people who in good
fs.ith voted to accept the situation.
These "Vote it Downs" are really pc.
IL tical nobodies, who have been shelved
b n the late election, but who still con.
talnue to buzz about the political candle,
HOPING to make outsiders believe that
they are somebodies; and their design is
TO defeat the results of the election, as
They were unable to defeat the eleotioa
itself, although some of then be- on
Wells and scratched Walkers .enle
from their tickets. These are the old
locofoco fossils Of Virginia politics. and
they are akin to the old roosters in some
parts of the State who are still in the
habit of voting at every election for
General Jackson. And what the live,
wide-awake people Of our State partic-
alarly objsat to is, that these antiquaries
should be interpreted as giving forth the
views and sentiments of the people in
the late contest. Let their mystifying
influence be withdrawn from the situa-
ton, aud let the action of the peo-
pie be judged fairly and squarely and
then there will no longer be want of
faith in Governor Walker and his party.
1t seems hard for President Grant and
persons outside of Virginia to under
stand what is meant by the recent cleo
tion in this State; and the reason of its
being hard to understand by them is
because they fail to know the true con-
dition of matters in the State. They
know nothing of the nature of the peo-
pie we call "carpet baggers," aud their
transactions with the negroes. The Wall
ker movement was sustained by men in

RG Recent advices from Cuba af-
firm that the cause of the insurgents is
in a highly encouraging condition. The
operations of Generals Jordan and
Quesada Rave been eminently success
full, giving them possession of large
field of resources with several points on
the coast. Valmasedas movements Of
late have, on the contrary, resulted dis
astrously. The recognition of the in
surgents, as belligerents, it is claimed,
would result in greatly expediting the
achievement of Cuba's independence.
