A negro postmaster has been APP
pointed at Cuthbert, Georgia. The
over-nice white citizens cannot brook
the insult of receiving their mails
through his hands. Accordingly they
have their mails stopped at another
post Office a few miles further, and
send their negro servants after them
daily. The color is not so much the
objection after all. In the one case q
servant of the public would hand them
their letters, in the other they receive
them from personal-servant. There
is nothing like sentiment.

COMING TROUBLE IN FRANC

COMING TROUBLE IN FRANCE.-Our
foreign papers give altogether a diff
ferent idea of the French elections
from that conveyed by the cable dis
patches, which, as we have previously
indicated, were probably subject to
official cOloring. 1t is undoubtedly
true, as stated, that in the first series
of elections the opposition elected but
twenty-siX members OF the legislative
corps. That, however. is hut a small
part Of the truth. IL the first place,
the opposition vote in Paris has gone
up from $4,000 in 1868. to 100000
at the present time, while the imperi-
al vote during the same period has
sunk from $4,000 to $4,000. Second.
ly, the size of the total vote thrown,
both in the city and country, has been
unprecedented, running sometimes as
high as 80 per cent. Of the registered
votes, and rarely going below 70 per
cent.-propOrtions seldom exceeded
in this country. Thirdly, there was
no choice in ffty-nine districts, and as
the government never has but one can
didate, it follows that the opposition
might carry all these districts If they
could only combine their strength.
There is another feature in these
elections still more portentouS to the
Napoleonic dynasty, and perhaps tc
the peace of the country. We refer
to the subsistence of the representa-
tives of the miIder shades Of opposi
ton, and the startling emergence of
extreme ultra men. This was thC
difficulty in the districts represented
by NM. Theirs and Jules Favre.-
They were both opposed by more rad
ical candidates, who commanded am
oDg them majority of the votes
thrown. 1t would appear, however
that they have both triumphed in thu
end, although fears have been felt tina
they were destined to defeat. TIL,
same tendency is observable every
where. The OrleanistS, the legitim
lists, the moderate men of all classes
are crowded out by the bold defend
ers of revolutionary doctrines. Wha
we once saw in this country-olC
wings and other respectable" poll

more to be feared, though the Frenc
government pretends otherwise, tina
the eloquence OF a Favre or the sal
casms of a Thiers-and fierce dc
termination to try conclusions wit

ror is wise, he will not make light O.
the exigency, but will meet it with il

A GOOD EXAMPLE-We learn that
something like a half dozen hands lately
employed in different occupations on the
Passumpsic Railroad, have been discharged
in consequence of their incorporate habits,
though we do not learn that their vice had
assumed very offensive character Am
ong those discharged is one engineer who
has run on the road several years. We re-
joice at this 1t is move in the right di-
rection-an innovation which will be sub
scribed to by every person who has the
good Of the travelling public at heart, and
will add another to the many laurels hith-
erto awarded the managers Of that popular
road. The private habits of those in the
employ Of large corporations. and who in
a great degree have the life and limb Of the
travelling public in. their keeping, are too
little considered by those employing them,
and we are glad to see the managers Of the
road take the steps they have. Fully half
the accidents that occur by boat, rail OF
stage, occur in consequence of the intern
perate habits of the officers or men. We
think we are not too high in our estimate
Thousands upon thousands of the gloriou:
defenders of the national cause in the late
war, went to their graves by means of in
competent commanders, made so by strong
drink, and who while maudlin rushed then
into the very jaws Of death when there wa.
small hope of success, but the unfortunate,
had no resource but to obey the behests OF
the spirit king. There is small doubt tina
HOoker's intemperance cost us the battl,
Of Charlottesville, and there is still les
room to doubt that Grants drunkenness
cost us much Of the terrible slaughter a
Pittsburgh Landing, while we think we ar,
not mistaken when we say that the surren
der Of the post at Harper's Ferry and tn,
consequent capture Of the Ninth Vermont
is attributable to the drunkenness of Col
Miles. So it is the world over the same
old, old story; drunkenness and immorali
ty in high places, from which the peopl,
suffer. We hope to see a reform in thi
particular sin, tie sin of sins that afflict
the world and has taken captive too many
in our national councils.
But we wander. We began with a cor
poration and have leaped to battles ant
governments. We end where we began
