that require immediate attention, are detained
every day, perhaps because the stamps fell off
after they were thrown into the mail-box. and
if they are ever heard of afterwards il is
through the Dead-letter Cffice, which commits
the absurdity of returning them to the writer
instead of sending them according to the
direction,
This is q matter that seriously calls for n
reform, and it ought TO receive the early at
tention of Congress. 1t would be in every
way more satisfactory if the old-fashioned
plan of charging double postage on letters
not prepaid were to be again put into opera
ton, although there does not appear to be anv
necessity for this. 1t is true that many per-
sons would take advantage of concession of
this kind, and it would be an ANNOYANCE to
many to be obliged to pay postage on letters
that were of no possible interest; but there
are objections to be urged against any scheme
that could be adopted, and leaving the pre-
payment of postage optional would certainly
be less unsatisfactory in vast number of
instances.

THE NEW THEATRE on CHESNUT STREET.
The Academy OF Fine Arts has sold its lot on Ches-
nut street, between Tenth and Eleventh, for a new
Iheatre. This is about all that appears to be def
nltely known with regard to the new establishment
One rumor says that it is to be devoted to variety
entertainments, and another that it will adhere to
the strictly legitimate. The real intentions Of the
parties who have the matter in hand remain locked
IN their own hearts phe probabilities are however
that they will endeavor to manage the affair in su Oh
way as to Secure the largest profits On this sub
ject the New York Clipper says
"Ihere has been some talk OF erectins q new thea
ire on Chesnut street. and capitalists are invited TO
take an interest in the speculation by coming for
ward and subscribing for stock; they are honestly
notified thatthey must not expect 'any dividend for
the first two years. as the institution will necessarily
take that time to become firmly estabshedg I'm
less there is some lrst-class business man to airect
AFFAIRS and ready capital to commence operations
with, we fear it will be than two wears before
the institution VIII become firmly established. The
location is good one. and trst-Cass theatre with
nrst-Class company, ought to succeed there."E
There is certainly for another theatre h this
city, and the Academy of Fine Arts lot is asgood
location as could probably be found If the new
theatre is first class one in every respect elegant
and comfortable in its auditorium, complete in its
scenic appliances and stage machinery, with good
company, such as it is not impossible to obtain and
with a competent manager az its head it ought to
and probably will succeed. If it is badly mana zed
1t will most certainly fail. Under proper auspices
however, those who invest their money in it ought
to be able to get return before two years pass by
The immediate profits ought to be secondary
consideration, however, with the stockholders Of
such an institution good theatres, and plenty of
them, make the city attractive to strangers. They
invite trade here, and because have hitherto had
so few places Of amusement is one reason why many
persons prefer to visit New York, rather than to
come here for the purchase of goods, although our
merchants might be able to offer better bargains
Tln 1f,rfla N1g gtna HrgH
OF public entertainment should be esteemed a
secondary consideration. The enterprise which
builds such establishments always gets its reward in
time, but it is necessary to look beyond the present
dollar for the sake Of keeping an eye on the hun
dred or so that promise in the future.

THE PREPA YNENT OF POSTAGE.
The postage laws and the administration of
the Post Office Department are for the most
part excellent, and eminently satisfactory to
business men and to the people at large. The
Post Office Department is one of the most
important that exists under the Government:
millions of dollars are at stake every day in
the mails, and business interests of the great
est magnitude are dependent on their prompt
and safe transmission. The Government has
assumed the whole control of this immense
business of carrying the mails, it refuses to
admit any competition, and it throws around
them all the safeguards of the ma
tional authority. The Government does
this for the accommodation of the people and
not for the sake of profit; indeed, it is well
known that, so far from realizing anything by
the operation, the receipts of the Post Office
Department fall below the expenditures every
year. So long as this deficiency is kept
within reasonable limits, however, it is
matter of little consequence in comparison
with the advantages gained. In assuming the
control of this business, the Government prac-
tically binds itself to manage it in a manner
most advantageous to those who send and re-
| ceive mail matter; and while taking every
proper precaution to insure itself against loss,
to act with more liberality than could be ex-
! pected from private persons.
The present postal laws are, with perhaps
one exception, as liberal as could be desired
the rates are reasonably low, and the trans
mission of mail matter, as a rule, reasonably
rapid and certain. 1t is difficult to see, how
ever, what good end is served by the provi-
sion of the law which requires prepayment
The Government probably loses as much or
more by ydetention of letters, papers, and pack
| ages, their transmission to the Dead-letter
! Office, and the subsequent efforts to find the
writers, as it would if they were sent i'm
mediately as directed, with the risk of their
being taken from the Office by their owners,
| Even if the Government did lose by the opera
ton, it ought to incur the loss rather than that
q very large number of writer's and receivers of
letters should be embarrassed as they now are.
Every person with an extensive corespon-
dence will agree with us that the regulation
requiring the prepayment of postage is very
serious annoyance, that ought not to exist.
Sometimes persons forget to put stamps on
their letters sometimes, very often in fact,
the stamps will not stick; sometimes, espe-
cially in the country, it is impossible to OBJ
tain stamps when they are wanted; and a
thousand and one instances might be cited to
show how much trouble is occasioned every
day in all parts of the country by this foolish
and unnecessary regulation. Business letters

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

THR Spanish authorities perpetrated another
brutal outrage at Havana last Friday. 1t was
bad enough to execute two patriots, whose only
crime was devotion to their country, and it was
Infamous, when their unhappy fate excited the
commiseration of the spectators to permit the
sanguinaY volunteers to slake their vengeance
in the blood of a promiscuous crowd. The cable
telegram reports that six men were killed and
many wounded by the shots fred by the guard
who surrounded the scaffold. Any attempt to
justify these infamous murders must necessarily
be based on an acknowledgment that in
Havana the very centre and stronghold
of Spanish Influences public sentiment is scarcely
less favorable to the patriotic cause than in the
interior districts where Cespedes rules with un-
\ disputed sway. The earnest sympathy of the
NUnited States is justly due to people who are
not only subjected to an obnoxious despotic rule,
but whose heroic efforts to gain the boon of free
dom are confronted by the most atrocious mas
sacres The statement telegraphed from Madrid
that the Spanish authorities are about to send
n naval commission to New York to purchase
monitors for Cuba win arouse, under existing
circumstances, deep indignation. IL indicates
that IL the Cubans are not speedily recognized a
belligerents, the energies of this country viii b.
freely used to assist the tyrans in riveting thei
chains, while no helping hand can be EXTENDED
TO men who are initiating the noble example o
our Revolutionary ancestors.
AS the House of Representatives, by the reso
luton passed on Saturday, has given forciol
expression to the national sentiment, we presum
that the administration will act promptly on tn
first authentic information that justihes forma

MOSES POST MORTElf.

II is with o feeling of the most lively interest
that we watch the post-mortem career o.
Andrew johnson, whose disembodied politicG
spirit Is now perambulating Tennessee, repeatine
TO the miserable inhabitants of that region tnt
words addressed by the Friend of Humanlti u
the Needy Knifc-Grinder:--"B Base inglorious
slaves, whom no sense OF wrong can stlr To wear
gcance; degenerate outcasts,' etc. inc people oi
Tennessee--or at least a portion oil them-
appear indeed, to have sunk so low that th1Y
rather like this sort OF thing, especially When IL
comes from man who for nearly four years en-
dured the most CALLING servitude recorded In ms
tory, and then, by some mysterious dispensatiol
Of Providence, contrived to effect his escape.
On Saturday, the emancipated Andrew eater
tanned as many three thousand Tennesseeans
by harangue after this fashion, or, as the Ledger
this morning quantity puts it, "in his usual
style" The upshot of the speech was to the
effect that there is n round hundred thousand of
degraded Tennesseeans every one of whom, by
one of the most singular condolences on record
rejoicos in a white cuticle. The cause of all this
distressing state of affairs appears to lie in the
fact, as announced by the great Post Mortem
that the present government of Tennessee is anti
republican-but not necessarily Democratic--in
form, and based on ideas I" in violation of the
Constitution and the fundamental principles of a
free American republic"
But, while Andrew does not seem disposed to
assist his degraded white brethren in their effort
at emancipation, he has a kind word for the
citizens of African descent. 1t appears that,
during his own period of servitude at Washing
ton, certain evil-disposed persons, known as
members of the Loyal League, have succeeded in
restoring to slavery all the negroes whom An
drew emancipated while acting as Military Gov
ernor. We are rejoiced to learn, however, that
Andrew has determined to again appear in the
role OF ''Moses" for limited number of nights,
but not 80 limited that he will not have sufficient
time to again crush out negro slavery from the
soil of Tennessee. When that hercnlean task is
accomplished, it is barely possible that he may
turn his attention to the liberation of the hun
dred thousand degraded whites. The Constitu-
tion, the flag, the thirty-seven stars and various
other neglected matters will probably next en-
gage his attention, and after that we may be on
the lookout for the deluge.
