women as Postnusters.

The Richmond WAig discussing the
probability of the appointment of Miss
Van Lew to tho Richmond POstoiiice,
before it was made, says:
The promotion of DR.. Sharp, the
present Postmaster, to the Marshall
ship of the District of Columbia, leaves
the postof1ice of this city vacant. We
hear lady is applying for it. We
know nothing of the special qualitlca-
tions of the applicant, but on general
principles, we think that branch of the
public service might he protilably and
iudiciUusly managed by female clerks,

stow the office on lady, with the un-
derstanding that all the employees In
the office shall be OF her own sex. II
the experiment should prove success
tul here, 1t might be adopted else
where, and would be the means of af-
fordIng great relief to many suffer
ing family, especially in the Southern
States.
The New York Post has this to say on
the same subject.
1t is not new thing under the sun
that a woman should be made postmas-
ter; in England many of the country
offices are in charge of women; in this
country several Presidents have ap-
pointed women TO such places; and GER
tainly no one can OBJECT to the appoint
ment of Elizabeth Van Low, which is
"in acknowledgements OF important
services to the Union army during the
rebellion" A woman who was able to
render important services" to her
country during time of war, is doubt.

WIN there be War In Europe:

Tho New York Evening Post trans
lates the following extract from a let
ter written by a distinguished states
man and jurist in Germany to friend
in New York. Its statements will be
read with some surprise, but coming
from the source they do, they are
worthy of consideration:
"In the meantime the war with
France is steadily preparing. Napo-
leon III. labOrs most unequivOcally to-
ward it, and it seems that he is going
to make the King of Italy his ally, de-
spite the opposite sympathies and ln-
terests of the Italian people, who from
France can only expect the rule of for
eigners; from Germany, however, natu-
raj friendship. AS third ally, in the
background. is Austria. bidding her
time. The Emperor and Premier are
bent on vengeance against Prussia. 1t
is to be hoped that the Hungarlans
will exact a step i'll that quarter. AT
the bottom, is the clergy who stir the
fire. The great question is Priestcratt
and Cpsarism on one hand, and Ger
manic independence and liberty
on tho other. 1t will be bad in
deed if we must make conces.
Bions to the Russians, who are still
brabarians, in order to defend ourselves
aRuluSL llo Oul(eu N4NOAAoAlAN
States and the traitorous priests and
princes in South Germany. AS to the
future 1 am calm. It is impossible
that Rome. rotten and absurd, shall
again rule Europe, even If the Pope and
French Emperor are allied; but it Will
cost much blood, much wealth, and the
graves of many high-souled men. 1t is
fortunate Grant will have entered the
White House before the war, which will
scarcely begin before the elections in
May. Grants bearing will have great
influence. If the Germanic world were
as closely allied, but at the same time
for liberty and unity, it would be a
child's play to chastise the Latin people
so that all their lust to rule the world
again would be driven out forever. The
Germanic element is not the ruling
power of the worlds situation, for the
simple reason that consistent with the
principal of liberty, it divides in differ
ent directions and unites with more
difficulty. The Latin people and Celts
easily subordinate themselves to centra-
lism. Poor, intelligent centralism may
be far more powerful in war than
wealthy nations who enjoy liberty and
representative government"

No more Secret Sales of Gold.

NEW YORK, March 20.
A Washington dispatch says Secre::
tary Boutwell, informed the Ways and
Means Committee that from casual
re.examination OF the debt he had
found affairs generally in pretty good
condition. He did not think he would
require any additional financial legis-
latIon at present. There was an abund-
ance at money, and he indicated his
determination not to keep a large
amount on hand. and that he would
use the surplus from time to time for
the purchase and cancellation of bonds,
claiming at the same time that there
was ample authority in his judgment
in the existing legislation to make
such purchase and cancellation. He
stated also that he was opposed to the
secret sales of gold, and that whenever
he had any for sale it would be sold in
open market, giving everybody the
same opportunity OF buying.
The same dispatch says 20 Senators
are sure to vote for the repeal of the
tenure -of-o office act, while its opponents
claim So votes. Great efforts will be
made 10 reach the vote O.day.
